This paper describes on a novel double-deck-shaped (DDS) gate technology for 0.1-μm heterojunction-FETs (HJFETs) that have half the external gate fringing capacitance (Cfext) of conventional T-shaped gate HJFETs. By introducing a T-shaped SiO2-opening technique based on two-step dry-etching with W-film masks, we have fabricated 0.1-μm DDS gate-openings adapted to the reduction in Cfext and to the voidless-filling of gate-metals. Moreover, by using WSi-collimated sputtering and electroless Au-plating, 0.1-μm DDS WSi/Ti/Pt/Au gate HJFETs with high uniformity and reproducibility are made. Fabricated n-Al0.2Ga0.8As/In0.15Ga0.75As HJFETs exhibit an excellent Vth standard-deviation (σVth) of 39 mV. Also, the HJFET covered with a SiO2 film shows a very high millimeter-wave performance with fT of 120 GHz and fmax of 165 GHz, due to the low Cfext. In addition, a high fT of 151 GHz and fmax of 186 GHz are obtained without a SiO2 film.
