Problems solved by technology

Due to the high band gap of AlN and the high ionization energy of doped impurities, it is difficult to achieve heavy doping; in addition, due to the limitation of the work function of metal materials, the Schottky barrier with AlN is very high, so it is difficult to achieve electronic Diffusion, drift and tunneling between metal and AlN materials

Abstract

The invention discloses an n-type AlN ohmic contact structure, an AlN Schottky diode and an AlN field effect transistor. The n-type AlN ohmic contact structure comprises a wafer structure and an ohmiccontact electrode; the ohmic contact electrode is arranged on the wafer structure, and the ohmic contact electrode is connected with the AlN Schottky diode; the wafer structure comprises a substratelayer, a transition layer, a channel layer, a gradual change AlGaN layer and an n-type GaN layer which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top, and the content of an Al component in the gradual change AlGaN layer is gradually changed from 1 to 0 from bottom to top. By using the n-type doped gradient AlGaN layer, the barrier height between the ohmic contact electrode and the AlN is reduced, sothat relatively low ohmic contact resistance between the ohmic contact electrode and the n-type AlN is realized, and the ohmic contact resistance value between the metal electrode and the n-type AlNis effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular relates to an n-type AlN ohmic contact structure, an AlN Schottky diode and an AlN field effect transistor. Background technique [0002] According to statistics, more than 8-15% of the world's electric energy is wasted in the production, transmission and power conversion systems of electric energy. Semiconductor power electronic devices are one of the core devices of power conversion systems, and the power conversion efficiency of semiconductor power electronic devices is an important indicator that affects the energy loss of the entire system. At present, most of the semiconductor power electronic devices used in the power system are mainly silicon materials. Since the bandgap width of silicon materials is small, the BFOM coefficient (Baliga's Figure of Merit) reflecting the application of power electronic devices is also relatively large. Small, which limits th...
