Abstract

A semiconductor device with an improved insulating and passivating layer including the steps of providing a gallium arsenide substrate with a surface, and crystallographically lattice matching an insulating and passivating layer of indium gallium fluoride on the surface of the gallium arsenide substrate. In one embodiment the semiconductor device is a FET and the layer of indium gallium fluoride covers at least an inter-channel area surrounding the gate.
