[0083] Such as Figure 8 As shown, different from the first embodiment, the anode trench of the Schottky diode provided by the second embodiment extends into the second semiconductor layer 6 , but does not exceed the second semiconductor layer 6 . After the second semiconductor layer is etched and thinned, the concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas under it will decrease, resulting in an increase in the on-resistance. If the etching depth is too deep, the two-dimensional electron gas will be depleted, and the diode’s The forward voltage will increase. Therefore, the etching depth of the field plate trench needs to be controlled within a reasonable range. Generally speaking, the distance between the bottom of the trench and the two-dimensional electron gas channel needs to be greater than 5 nm to ensure a normal conduction of two-dim...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductors, in particular to a Schottky diode and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the application field of high-voltage switches, it is hoped that the diode has the characteristics of small reverse leakage, large reverse withstand voltage and small forward conduction voltage drop. Power electronic devices based on wide-bandgap semiconductor materials, especially gallium nitride materials, have superior properties. Therefore, Gallium Nitride Schottky diodes have gradually become a research hotspot in recent years. The technology of homoepitaxial GaN on GaN substrate is still in the stage of small size and high cost. Although high-quality epitaxial materials and ideal device performance can be obtained, it has not been widely adopted based on cost considerations. use. At present, gallium nitride materials are mainly obtained by epitaxial growth on heterogeneous materials, and t...
