Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microelectronic technology, and in particular relates to a gallium oxide enhanced transistor which can be used as a power electronic device. Background Art
[0002] Since Ga2O3 crystal materials have ultra-wide bandgap width and high breakdown field strength, power devices made of Ga2O3 have the characteristics of high withstand voltage and high power, and have the potential for application in the field of power electronics. Since high-quality P-type doping of gallium oxide is still not possible, for Ga2O3-based power field effect transistors, in order to achieve enhancement mode, high-K materials are usually used as dielectric layers, or under-gate etching is used to reduce the channel thickness, or a heterojunction structure is used to form a PN junction. Although these methods can achieve enhancement mode operation, the depletion of channel electrons will undoubtedly significantly increase the on-resistance of the device. Power figure of merit is one of the key indicators for evaluating the applicability of power devices in power electronic systems. To improve the power figure of merit, the device needs to have the characteristics of high breakdown voltage and low on-resistance at the same time. Therefore, the compatibility of breakdown voltage and on-resistance has become the main technical difficulty encountered by Ga2O3-based enhancement-type power devices at present; and the production of Ga2O3 enhancement-type field effect transistors with higher power figure of merit is still the difficulty and challenge faced by Ga2O3 power devices at present.
[0003] Patent document with publication number CN116053312A discloses a P-type gate-enhanced gallium oxide-based current aperture vertical electron transistor CAVET device and its preparation method. The device is provided with a P-type semiconductor layer under the gate, which forms a PN junction with the channel layer, depletes the electrons in the channel layer to achieve enhancement mode. However, as a vertical device, it has a relatively complex structure and is difficult to prepare. In actual industry, it will incur higher production costs and has certain disadvantages in large-scale applications.
[0004] Patent document with publication number CN117790575A discloses a vertical device of a ring-gate field effect transistor based on a gallium oxide substrate and a preparation method thereof. The device adopts a columnar channel, and the gate dielectric and the gate metal surround the channel in a ring shape, thereby increasing the contact area between the gate and the channel, thereby improving the gate control capability. However, since the device has no heterojunction structure, it is difficult to achieve enhancement mode only by relying on the work function difference between the gate metal and the channel semiconductor, and its use scenarios in actual applications will therefore be limited.
