Abstract

The invention discloses a dry etching process of an N-polarity III-V group semiconductor material, and relates to the technical field of semiconductor materials. According to the dry etching process, ICP etching is carried out on the N-polarity III-V group semiconductor material, and working gas comprises boron trichloride, chlorine gas, argon gas and etching gas containing fluorine ions. According to the invention, the type of the working gas is selected, so that the surface of the etched semiconductor material is smoother and has fewer impurities.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor materials, in particular to a dry etching process for N-polar III-V group semiconductor materials. Background technique [0002] Group III-V materials have been widely used in light-emitting devices, high-speed devices, high-temperature devices, high-frequency devices, and high-power devices due to their high carrier mobility and large band gap. Among them, N-polar HEMT has lower ohmic contact resistance, better 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) threshold and stronger suppression of short-channel effect due to its opposite polarity to traditional metal-polar HEMT. capacity, etc., showing more excellent device performance. However, studies have shown that N-polar III-V semiconductor materials are more active and more likely to absorb impurities, resulting in a substantial increase in the roughness of the etched surface, which will have a great impact on subsequent processes and device prepar...
