Embodiment 1

[0070] It was grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on a low-resistivity 6-inch silicon-based (111) p-type substrate 1 . For the consideration of high breakdown voltage, a 4 μm thick AlN nucleation layer and a carbon-doped GaN buffer layer were first grown on the substrate 1 . Then grow 300nm undoped GaN channel layer 3, followed by 3nm undoped Al 0.25 An ultra-thin AlGaN barrier layer 4 of GaN, and a 1nm GaN cap layer is grown again, so that the ultrathin AlGaN barrier layer 4 is sandwiched between the 1nm GaN cap layer and the GaN channel layer 3 . Oxidation of the ultra-thin AlGaN barrier layer 4 is prevented using a GaN cap layer.

Abstract

The invention relates to a gallium nitride enhanced device and a manufacturing method thereof. The gallium nitride enhanced device comprises a substrate, a nucleation buffer layer, a gallium nitride channel layer, an ultrathin aluminum-gallium-nitrogen barrier layer, a gallium nitride cap layer, a re-growth layer, a silicon nitride insulating layer, a drain electrode, a source electrode and a gridelectrode, The method comprises: removing the first part of the gallium nitride cap layer through an etching process, and growing an aluminum-gallium-nitrogen re-growth layer through metal organic chemical vapor deposition; and performing low-pressure chemical vapor deposition on the second part of the gallium nitride cap layer and the aluminum-gallium-nitrogen regrowth layer to obtain a siliconnitride insulating layer containing a high-proportion silicon substrate. A high-proportion silicon-based silicon nitride insulating layer is grown through a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition system to absorb oxygen atoms on the surface of a natural aluminum-gallium-nitrogen barrier layer, so that an oxygen pollution area between silicon nitride / aluminum-gallium-nitrogen interfaces is reduced,and the conduction resistance is reduced through an aluminum-gallium-nitrogen re-growth layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more specifically, to a gallium nitride enhanced device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Based on Gallium Nitride High Electron Mobility Transistor (GaN HEMT), it is implemented for switching power electronic devices due to its wide bandgap, high electron velocity and high current density, and is widely used in fast charging, power supply, and key components of energy-saving chips . Since gallium nitride devices are inherently depleted and unfavorable for operation, in order to achieve enhanced operation of the GaN HEMT structure, several common methods include: (1) gate etching; (2) P-type gallium nitride epitaxial structure; (3) Ion implantation. Among them, gate etching does not require an additional mask, and the manufacturing process is simple, but there is plasma damage, the current is too small, and the etching depth is difficult to c...
