Problems solved by technology

[0003] Traditional GaN HEMT devices adopt a non-doped barrier layer structure, resulting in relatively large source-drain parasitic resistance, which severely limits the high-frequency characteristics of GaN HEMT devices. In order to improve the RF performance of the device, one way is to use source-drain regrowth The epitaxial technology forms an N-type heavily doped epitaxial layer. The combination of device and epitaxial technology will undoubtedly increase the complexity of the device preparation process, which is not conducive to mass production

Abstract

The invention discloses a GaN HEMT device and a preparation method thereof. The GaN HEMT device includes an N-type cap layer, a first passivation layer, and a first dielectric layer; a gate metal region is provided through the middle of the N-type cap layer, the first passivation layer and the first dielectric layer; the second passivation layer is formed in the gate metal region and covers the N-type cap layer, the side surfaces of the first passivation layer and the first dielectric layer and part of the upper surface of the barrier layer exposed in the gate metal region; the second dielectric layer is formed on the gate metal region The gate metal layer covers the remaining upper surface of the barrier layer, the second passivation layer and the second dielectric layer exposed in the gate metal region and is stacked on the second passivation layer; the second passivation layer and the second dielectric layer are stacked on both sides of the gate metal layer. The N-type cap layer is used to reduce the parasitic resistance of the source and drain, and the second passivation layer and the second dielectric layer stacked on both sides of the gate metal layer are fabricated by the sidewall process to reduce the gate length and parasitic capacitance, thereby obtaining GaN HEMT devices with excellent RF characteristics.

Background technique [0002] The research and application of GaN materials and devices is currently the frontier and hotspot of global semiconductor research. GaN materials are known as third-generation semiconductor materials together with SiC and diamond materials. GaN material has the advantages of wide band gap, high critical breakdown electric field, high electron saturation velocity, high thermal conductivity, and high concentration of two-dimensional electron gas at the heterojunction interface. It is an ideal substitute for next-generation power and radio frequency devices. [0003] The traditional GaN HEMT device adopts an undoped barrier layer structure, resulting in a relatively large source-drain parasitic resistance, which severely limits the high-frequency characteristics of the GaN HEMT device. In order to i...
