Abstract

The invention discloses a thin barrier enhanced AlGaN / GaN high-electron-mobility transistor device and a manufacturing method thereof, and mainly solves the problems of poor breakdown performance and low output current of the existing similar devices. The technical scheme is that a self-aligned technology is introduced in the SiN passivation layer growth process of the device, and an aligned LDD-HEMT is formed by utilizing the modulation effect of thin and thick SiN passivation layers on channels. The device comprises a substrate, an AlN nucleating layer, a GaN buffer layer, an AlN inserting layer, an AlGaN barrier layer, SiN passivation layers and gate, source and drain electrodes which are arranged from the bottom to the top. There are two SiN passivation layers. After completion of manufacturing of the gate electrode, the first SiN passivation layer is deposited by utilizing the self-aligned effect of the gate electrode, and then the second SiN passivation layer is deposited close to the drain electrode region between the gate electrode and the drain electrode so that the aligned LDD structure is formed. Breakdown voltage and saturation output current of the device are high, and damage introduced in the manufacturing process is low.
