Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an enhanced gallium nitride device based on stacked passivation and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor devices. Background Art
[0002] Wide-bandgap GaN materials possess excellent electrical properties, such as high electron mobility, high saturation electron velocity, and high critical breakdown field. These properties make GaN HEMTs (High-Energy Transistor) (HEMTs) promising for applications in high-frequency, high-power, and high-temperature environments. Precisely because of their high output power density and high breakdown voltage, GaN HEMTs have attracted widespread attention in power electronics, RF microwaves, and 5G communications. However, practical applications of GaN HEMTs still face several key technical challenges. Current enhancement-mode (intrinsic-off) GaN HEMTs commonly suffer from low and unstable threshold voltages, insufficient breakdown voltages, weak gate withstand voltages, and high leakage currents. The instability of low threshold voltages can lead to false triggering, place higher demands on the drive circuit, and even accelerate device aging. Low breakdown voltages limit device reliability in high-power environments. Furthermore, excessive gate leakage and low withstand voltages significantly impact device performance and lifetime.
[0003] To meet the application requirements of traditional enhancement-mode GaN HEMTs, various improvement methods have been proposed, such as thickening the P-GaN layer, surface nitridation, extending the drift region length, introducing field plates, or adjusting the AlGaN layer composition, in order to improve threshold voltage and breakdown performance. However, these methods are often accompanied by negative effects such as significantly increased process complexity, increased on-resistance, or decreased carrier mobility, and are also prone to causing new gate leakage and parasitic effects.
[0004] In the traditional P-GaN gate GaN HEMT device structure, the interface between the gate region P-GaN and the passivation layer has the following major problems: (1) High interface state density (Dit): A large number of trap states at the interface will lead to charge capture effect, causing threshold voltage drift and dynamic on-resistance degradation; (2) Hot carrier injection (HCI): Under high electric field, electrons may tunnel into the passivation layer, causing the passivation layer and interface quality to deteriorate, thereby reducing the long-term reliability of the device; (3) Stress mismatch: Due to the large difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the passivation layer and the P-GaN layer, microcracks are easily generated at the interface during the device thermal cycle, reducing mechanical stability and reliability. The above problems jointly limit the performance improvement and reliability of P-GaN HEMT. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Significantly improved interface quality: The first AlN passivation layer of the present invention is in direct contact with the P-GaN cap layer. Utilizing its good lattice matching and strong chemical bonding with GaN, it can effectively reduce the interface state density at the gate interface. In-situ MOCVD growth avoids interface oxidation, further improving the crystal quality of the passivation layer and P-GaN interface, optimizing the device surface trap distribution, reducing carrier capture, and contributing to the stabilization of the device threshold voltage.
[0017] 2. Significantly suppresses leakage current: The second passivation layer of the present invention uses a high-dielectric-constant HfO2 passivation layer. Its high-k property enhances the electric field shielding effect of the gate region, effectively preventing the gate region electric field from penetrating into the passivation layer, thereby suppressing gate leakage current. The use of a low-temperature ALD growth process avoids damage to the underlying AlN layer. This design effectively controls leakage current when the device is in the off state.
[0018] 3. Reduced threshold voltage drift and improved dynamic on-resistance: The multilayer passivation structure of this invention optimizes the surface charge distribution and gradient dielectric constant distribution, reducing the charge-discharge effect of interface traps, thereby stabilizing the threshold voltage. Simulation results show that with this stacked passivation structure, the off-state leakage current and threshold voltage of the device remain essentially stable, while the on-state current increases, demonstrating that the surface trap effect is effectively mitigated. The reduced trapping effect also improves the on-resistance (Ron) degradation of the device during dynamic switching.
[0019] 4. Improved breakdown voltage and gate withstand voltage: This invention utilizes a third low-dielectric-constant SiO2 passivation layer as a stress buffer, effectively alleviating the thermal stress mismatch between AlN / HfO2 and the upper SiN layer. Simultaneously, the SiO2 thickness is adjusted to optimize the dielectric constant gradient distribution, reducing the risk of electric field concentration. The outermost, dense SiN passivation layer not only blocks the intrusion of water and oxygen from the environment, but also utilizes its lower dielectric constant to further smooth the electric field distribution in the gate region. This multilayer structure design collectively reduces the local electric field strength, significantly improving the device's breakdown voltage and gate withstand voltage.
[0020] 5. Enhanced device reliability: The multi-layer passivation solution of this invention effectively blocks the corrosion of environmental moisture and oxygen on the device, reducing the accumulation of thermomechanical stress between the passivation layer and the substrate. At the same time, the high-quality interface and stable electric field distribution reduce the accumulation of hot carrier damage caused by high electric fields, thereby significantly improving the long-term stability and reliability of the device.
