Problems solved by technology

However, from the perspective of material growth, there are great difficulties in the growth of AlInN: the extremely easy phase separation will lead to fluctuations in the In composition, resulting in uneven material composition, which greatly affects the crystal quality of AlInN and device performance (such as low breakdown voltage)
[0006] In addition, when metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition, MOCVD) technology is used for epitaxial growth, the growth conditions of AlN and InN are also completely different. 500-600°C, which makes it difficult for In with high atomic mobility to be uniformly incorporated in the Al-rich matrix (Al-rich matrix)

Abstract

The invention discloses a semiconductor heterostructure, and a preparation method and applications thereof. The semiconductor heterostructure comprises a first semiconductor material and a second semiconductor material. The first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material are mutually joined to form virtual lattice matching. The first semiconductor material is AlxInyGa1-x-yN, wherein 4.72< / =x / y< / =5.10, 0< / =x< / =1 and 0<y<1. The second semiconductor material is GaN. Preferably, 0.2<(1-x-y)< / =0.6. The preparation method comprises steps: after a GaN layer is formed through growth, an AlxInyGa1-x-yN layer is formed in a mode of introducing an aluminum source, an indium source, a gallium source and a nitrogen source in a reaction chamber of epitaxial growth equipment in a simultaneous and / or pulse means. By using the semiconductor heterostructure of the invention, the production process of a semiconductor device can be effectively simplified, the reliability of the semiconductor device is optimized, and particularly, the reliability problem of devices such as an HEMT due to stress can be eliminated fundamentally, and more ideal spontaneous polarization strength between the barrier layer and the GaN layer can be kept.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention particularly relates to a semiconductor heterostructure, its preparation method and application, and belongs to the field of semiconductor material science. Background technique [0002] In the past two decades, with the in-depth research on III-V nitride semiconductor material systems, various nitride semiconductor electronic devices and photonic devices have developed rapidly. Among them, the heterojunction-based high electron mobility transistor (High Electron Mobility Transistor, HEMT) has broad application prospects in power systems, wireless communications and other fields. [0003] Currently, high electron mobility transistors are generally based on AlGaN / GaN heterojunctions. In this structure, the Al composition in the AlGaN barrier layer is kept at about 0.20 (such as figure 1 ), so the coherent growth is on the GaN channel layer, thereby generating the piezoelectric polarization effect, and finally through the spontaneous pola...
