Abstract

Disclosed is a method for making a mushroom gate for a microwave transistor. Three masking layers are deposited on the semiconductor body of a transistor. At least two of these masking layers are different and have selective solvents. After the opening of the external layer, the intermediate layer is dissolved with sub-etching with respect to the external layer, then the base of the gate is etched in the internal layer. The edges of the sub-etching prevent the metal deposited on the mask from adhering to the gate, thus facilitating the lift-off of the mask. Application to microwave transistors with symmetrical or disymmetrical mushroom gate.
