Problems solved by technology

When the electric field strength exceeds the withstand voltage capability of the device, the device is prone to breakdown
[0005] 2. Gate leakage current; surface defects, contamination, dangling bonds, etc. of the device are easy to form a surface state, and the surface drift point to the phenomenon causes the leakage current of the gate
However, the introduction of field plates will bring additional capacitance and reduce the frequency characteristics of the device

Abstract

The invention provides a structure for improving the breakdown voltage of a gallium nitride HEMT power device and a preparation method of the structure. The structure comprises a substrate, an epitaxial layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode and a grid electrode. The epitaxial layer is arranged above the substrate and comprises a nucleating layer, a first material layer, a channel layer and a barrier layer which are arranged from bottom to top; the channel layer is internally provided with two-dimensional electron gas, and the barrier layer is internally provided with an ion doped region. The ion doping region is introduced between the grid electrode and the drain electrode, the two-dimensional electron gas concentration of partial region in the channel is changed, the electric field distribution is changed on one side of the grid electrode, the peak electric field is obviously lower than that of a device without the ion doping region, the electric field uniformity between the grid electrode and the drain electrode is enhanced, and the electric field distribution is effectively improved; and advanced breakdown of the device caused by a grid edge electric field peak value is avoided, and the device can bear higher drain voltage. And finally, the breakdown voltage of the device is improved, and the frequency characteristic of the device is not reduced.
