Abstract

The invention discloses a method for isolating a GaN-based device, which comprises the following steps of: evaporating a Fe film on a region, which needs to be subjected to device isolation, on the surface of a GaN HEMT structure, heating the Fe film to cover the region by adopting pulse laser, reasonably controlling laser pulse energy, accelerating Fe to diffuse into a sample and recrystallizing the sample, thereby merging Fe into a sample crystal lattice. Fe impurities are deep-energy-level impurities in the GaN-based material, and a high-resistance state can be formed by doping Fe in a region needing to be isolated, so that the aim of device isolation is fulfilled. According to the method, a sample is recrystallized through high-energy laser pulses, and Fe impurities are introduced in the recrystallization process, so that the defect density of an isolation region can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor device manufacturing and relates to a GaN-based device isolation method. Background technique [0002] Group III nitride materials represented by GaN are direct bandgap semiconductors, which have the advantages of high breakdown electric field, high electron saturation migration velocity, radiation resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., and are widely used in the field of high-efficiency light-emitting devices and electronic devices. Among them, the heterostructure represented by AlGaN / GaN, due to the strong polarization effect of the nitride, forms a high electron mobility and high concentration two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the heterojunction interface. Mobility transistors (HEMTs) have the advantages of high current density, high output power, and high operating frequency, and have great potential for application in high-frequency and high-power fields. [0003] In the p...
