Problems solved by technology

However, because the energy of the plasma is affected by factors such as radio frequency power and air pressure, the actual reaction thickness fluctuates.
In addition, when all the AlGaN barrier layers are removed, the carriers in the channel are completely blocked, resulting in a large turn-on voltage.

preparation example Construction

[0027] A method for preparing an enhanced AlGaN / GaN high electron mobility transistor, comprising the following process steps:

[0028] (1) Preparation of the source-drain metal system: prepare the source-drain metal on the epitaxial structure, and grow the source-drain protection medium SiN;

[0029] (2) Preparation of grid foot dielectric groove structure: use photolithography process to form grid foot pattern on the surface of the epitaxial structure, and then use one of etching process and wet etching process to remove the medium of the grid foot part, so that the grid foot part Form a dielectric groove structure; if the prepared circuit is an enhanced and depleted integrated monolithic chip, the gate pin of the depleted die is also subjected to photolithography and etching processes, and the glue is removed after etching;

[0030] (3) Grooving: using plasma BCl 3 Digging the AlGaN barrier layer as a reaction gas, controlling the time of digging, so that the depth of the ...

Embodiment 1

[0041] Preparation of enhanced AlGaN / GaN high electron mobility transistors, the structure of which is:

[0042] The structure of the epitaxial material from bottom to top is roughly 600um of semi-insulating SiC single crystal substrate layer, 500nm of GaN high-resistance buffer layer, 20nm of GaN channel and 25nm of graded AlGaN barrier layer. Among them, the Al content of the barrier layer AlGaN gradually changes from 32.5% to 20% from bottom to top. Among them, the high Al content AlGaN near the barrier layer is 2nm, which ensures that when the bottommost AlGaN of the device exists, the device Schott The channel opening gate voltage after base preparation is a positive gate voltage. In addition, the Al content of the lowermost layer and the upper layer can be reduced more to ensure a larger difference in etching rate. The average change rate of Al content in the thickness direction is 0.5%nm, that is, the Al content per nanometer decreases by 0.5%.

Abstract

The invention relates to an enhanced AlGaN / GaN high electron mobility transistor, whose epitaxial structure includes a SiC substrate, a GaN channel layer, a GaN high-resistance buffer layer and an AlGaN barrier layer with a gradually changing Al content. Its preparation method includes the following process steps: (1) preparation of the source-drain metal system; (2) preparation of the grid pin dielectric groove structure; (3) digging; (4) photolithography grid cap; (5) Schott base contact formation. Advantages of the present invention: 1, by BCl 3 gas for trenching process due to BCl 3 There are differences in the reaction rate of AlGaN with different Al contents, so the self-stopping of trenching can be realized. 2. The Schottky barrier is formed by gate metal preparation, and the enhanced AlGaN / GaN device is manufactured. 3. Compatible with current depletion-mode GaN devices, the fabrication process is simple, and monolithic integration of enhancement-mode / depletion-mode devices can be realized in the same wafer. 4. The process window is large, and the depth of the trench and the turn-on voltage of the device are well controllable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an enhanced AlGaN / GaN high electron mobility transistor and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of third-generation semiconductor microwave and millimeter wave devices. Background technique [0002] The third-generation semiconductor GaN device has a larger band gap and a higher operating voltage, and it has broad application prospects in the field of microwave and millimeter wave chips. For a general AlGaN / GaN structure HEMT device, due to the inverse piezoelectric effect of the AlGaN / GaN interface, there is a two-dimensional electron gas in the GaN channel, so the device is normally on at zero gate voltage. When the GaN HEMT device is in a high-voltage working state, if the gate is powered off or uncontrolled, the device will be burned instantly by the heat loss generated by high current and high power, endangering the safety of the system. The enhanced device is normally off due to its zero-bias gate voltag...
