Problems solved by technology

Partial etching of the barrier layer can effectively retain the electronic channel to obtain high field-effect mobility, but the remaining barrier layer will form a MOSHFET with the gate metal and gate dielectric layer and reduce the threshold voltage
On the contrary, a high threshold voltage can be obtained by completely etching the barrier layer, but the electronic channel is generated between the gate dielectric layer and GaN, and the strong interface scattering leads to low field effect mobility.
In addition, in the groove etching process, the traditional plasma dry etching will cause damage to the crystal lattice in the channel region. Although the wet etching can effectively remove the plasma damage, it will also damage the surface of the GaN channel layer after a long time treatment. A large number of etching holes can be observed, which will affect the reliability and stability of the MOS interface

Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor epitaxial processes and more particularly to a method of manufacturing a high-threshold-voltage high-mobility grooved gate MOSFET. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly providing a heterojunction material with low-Al-component AlGaN / GaN / high-Al-component AlGaN laminate barrier layer, depositing a dielectric layer as a mask layer on the surface of the material, removing a gate dielectric layer by using lithography development and wet etching, and patterning the mask layer; removing the top high-Al-component AlGaN in the gate region by a wet-dry combined method so as to obtain a groove; removing groove surface damage by using a GaN thin layer as a wet etching terminating layer; leaving the low-Al-component AlGaN barrier layer for achieving high channel mobility and high threshold voltage; depositing a p-type oxide as a gate to further control the threshold voltage; finally, forming source and drain regions at both ends to cover the metal to form a source and a drain. The method is simple in process, well solves damage to the gate region caused by the traditional dry etching of the groove, and forms a channel with low two-dimensional electron gas concentration, thereby obtaining high threshold voltage which increasing channel migration.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor epitaxial technology, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a high-threshold voltage and high-mobility groove gate MOSFET. Background technique [0002] Gallium nitride (GaN) material has the advantages of large band gap, high breakdown electric field strength, high electron saturation drift velocity, high thermal conductivity, etc., and is very suitable for making high-power, high-frequency, high-temperature power electronic devices. In the field of power electronics applications, in order to meet the fail-safe requirements, field-effect transistor (FET) devices must achieve normally-off (also known as enhanced) operation, and in some cases the threshold voltage needs to be at least 4-5V. For the conventional AlGaN / GaN heterojunction field effect transistor (HFET), due to the existence of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with high concentration and high mobility at the interfa...
