Abstract

An epitaxial structure of a Si-based gallium nitride device belongs to the technical field of microelectronics. The epitaxial structure comprises a substrate, a nucleating layer, a buffer layer, a high-resistance layer, a channel layer and a barrier layer which are sequentially stacked from bottom to top, wherein the nucleating layer is formed by ALN / GaN cyclic growth, and the buffer layer is formed by InN / SiN / GaN in a cyclic growth mode and comprises an InN crystal nucleus layer, a reticular structure SiN thin layer and a GaN filling layer. According to the invention, the ALN / GaN nucleating layer is circularly grown to relieve lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch of the substrate and the epitaxial layer, and the InN / SiN / GaN buffer layer can greatly reduce the dislocation density of the material and improve the lattice quality, thereby improving the electron mobility, breakdown voltage, leakage current and other characteristics of the HEMT device.
