Problems solved by technology

Due to SiO 2 The high interface state of / SiC leads to the low mobility of the MOSFET channel, which seriously hinders the expected advantages of SiC devices.
Although improving SiO 2 The quality of the / SiC interface has been continuously improved, but the SiC / SiO 2 The interface state density is still higher than that of SiO 2 / Si interface states are an order of magnitude higher
For example, H and P elements are used to reduce the interface state density, but the passivation effect of H element is not obvious. Although P element can effectively reduce the interface state density, its realization process needs to be further improved.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving SiC and SiO2 interface state density and relates to the technical field of microelectronics. The method comprises: cleaning the surface of a SiC epitaxial wafer; growing a SiO2 gate dielectric layer; in-situ annealing the SiO2 gate dielectric layer by using NO gas; forming a bottom substrate electrode; contacting annealing the substrate electrode; and forming a gate electrode. The method anneals the SiO2 gate dielectric layer by using NO gas so as to reduce SiC / SiO2 interface state density and improve an interface, gate dielectric quality and device characteristics.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microelectronics, in particular to an improved SiC and SiO 2 The interface state density method. Background technique [0002] SiC has unique physical, chemical and electrical properties, and is a semiconductor material with great development potential in extreme applications such as high temperature, high frequency, high power and radiation resistance. Due to SiO 2 The high interface state of / SiC leads to the low mobility of the MOSFET channel, which seriously hinders the expected advantages of SiC devices. Although improving SiO 2 The quality of the / SiC interface has been continuously improved, but the SiC / SiO 2 The interface state density is still higher than that of SiO 2 / Si interface states are an order of magnitude higher. For example, H and P elements are used to reduce the interface state density, but the passivation effect of H element is not obvious. Although P element can effectively r...
