Abstract

The invention discloses a manufacturing process of a gallium nitride device for effectively enhancing high frequency performance, and belongs to the field of gallium nitride manufacturing. The manufacturing process of the gallium nitride device for effectively enhancing the high frequency performance comprises the following steps that A, a first dielectric layer, a source electrode, a gate electrode and a drain electrode are deposited on a gallium compound substrate according to the conventional manufacturing process, then a second dielectric layer is deposited, and a source field plate is deposited on the second dielectric layer of the gate electrode. The air gap can be created between the gate electrode and the source field plate. The air is the material having the least dielectric coefficient, and the air gap can reduce the capacitance between the gate electrode and the source electrode so as to enhance the high frequency performance, enhance the maximum cutoff frequency and the maximum oscillation frequency. Besides, high power gain can be achieved under the same frequency or the higher operation frequency can be achieved under the same power gain without any special complex manufacturing process in the manufacturing process of the gallium nitride device, and the advantages of the source field plate can also be maintained.
