Problems solved by technology

There are two main reasons for the low carrier concentration of P-type GaN materials. On the one hand, the activation rate of doping elements is low; on the other hand, traditional doping methods cannot suppress the self-compensation of doping elements. The concentration of heteroelements often causes the carrier concentration of P-type GaN materials to decrease instead.

preparation example Construction

[0052] The above P-type nitride epitaxial structure can be prepared by the following preparation method, including the following steps:

[0053] S1. Growing a U-shaped nitride layer 200 on the substrate 100;

[0054] Specifically, a U-shaped nitride layer 200 of 1 μm-3 μm is grown on the substrate; the U-shaped nitride layer 200 makes the heterogeneous substrate transition to a flat GaN material layer;

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a P-type nitride epitaxial structure, a preparation method and a semiconductor device. Background technique [0002] Due to its excellent characteristics, GaN material has become an important material for manufacturing light-emitting devices, high-temperature and high-power devices and ultraviolet detectors. P-type doping is an essential part of manufacturing GaN devices, so it has attracted the attention of many research groups. [0003] Although the technology has been continuously developed in recent years, the current carrier concentration of P-type GaN materials in the industry is still much lower than that of N-type GaN. With the development of high-performance GaN devices, the limitation has become more and more serious. There are two main reasons for the low carrier concentration of P-type GaN materials. On the one hand, the activation rate of doping elements is l...
