Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing GaN power devices mostly use Si 3 N 4 and SiO 2 The two materials are used as the cap layer of the device to form two structures of MISFET or MOSFET. However, since these two materials cannot be grown with GaN material once, but must be grown separately, the structure still has a high surface state. and defects, so that the leakage current of the device is high; at the same time, these two materials are mostly polycrystalline structures, resulting in poor withstand voltage characteristics of the device, which cannot give full play to the characteristics of high breakdown voltage of GaN materials, and it is difficult to further improve the power density of the device In addition, because the AlGaN layer of the existing planar structure GaN MISFET is usually doped with a high Al composition, there is a contradiction between the improvement of the Al composition and the manufacture of ohmic contacts, that is, in order to obtain a higher two-dimensional electron gas concentration, it is required Increase the Al composition, and in order to make a better ohmic contact, the Al composition should not be too high
Take the research of Arulkumaran et al. as an example, see Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B: Microelectronics and Nanometer Structures, March 2003, Volume 21, Issue 2, pp.888-894, the Al composition of the AlGaN layer is as high as 43%, at this time The ohmic contact of the device is difficult to make, which seriously restricts the improvement of device performance
