Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018091699A1] The present invention relates to a gate structure and to a method for producing same. In particular, the present invention relates to the gate structuring of a field effect transistor having reduced thermomechanical loading and increased reliability (reduced electromigration or diffusion of the gate metal). The gate structure according to the invention comprises a substrate (10); an active layer (20) arranged on the substrate (10); an intermediate layer (40) arranged on the active layer (20), wherein the intermediate layer (40) has a cutout (45) extending through the entire intermediate layer (40) in the direction of the active layer (20); and a contact element (50) arranged within the cutout (45), wherein the contact element (50) completely fills the cutout (45) and extends to above the intermediate layer (40), wherein the contact element (50), at least in sections, bears directly on the intermediate layer (40); wherein the contact element (50) is constructed from a Schottky metal (52) and the contact element (50) has internally a cavity (55) enclosed completely by the Schottky metal (52).
