Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a stacked gate dielectric p-GaN enhanced HEMT device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) offer advantages such as high power and ultra-high frequency, and currently hold broad application prospects in areas such as high-voltage switching and wireless 5G communications. One of the key limitations currently limiting GaN HEMT devices is the formation of enhancement-mode devices. Conventional GaN HEMTs are depletion-mode devices, requiring a negative gate bias to turn them off. For circuit safety and cost reduction, enhancement-mode devices with sufficiently high threshold voltages are required for high-power applications. Among the main approaches currently used to fabricate enhancement-mode GaN HEMTs, the most common method is to use a p-type GaN cap layer to deplete the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) beneath the channel. However, conventional Schottky-gate p-GaN HEMTs still suffer from issues such as small gate voltage swing, high gate leakage current, and low threshold voltage. Furthermore, process challenges must be overcome, such as the increased defect state density and decreased 2DEG concentration caused by etching the p-GaN layer above the barrier layer outside the gate region.
[0003] Traditional AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices generally use plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to grow a layer of SiO2 / SiNx or a stack of the two dielectrics as a passivation layer to reduce the large number of defects and dangling bonds on the barrier layer surface. However, the PECVD method of depositing dielectrics cannot significantly reduce the interface state density. The interface trap states between AlGaN / GaN and SiO2 / SiNx can capture or release electrons, causing reliability issues such as device current collapse (Geng K, Chen D, Zhou Q, et al, Electronics, 2018, 416.).
[0004] Applying a metal oxide / SiO2 stack as a surface passivation layer in p-GaN gate enhancement-mode HEMT devices effectively reduces interface state density and improves device reliability. However, using it directly as a contact passivation layer or gate dielectric can cause a negative shift in the HEMT threshold voltage (Lin YC, Lin TW, Wu CH, et al., 2016, IEEE, 115-118). This is detrimental to enhancement-mode device applications. Therefore, a p-GaN device structure that balances high device reliability with high threshold voltage is needed. A three-layer gate dielectric structure of silicide / metal oxide / AlN combines the advantages of reducing gate leakage and increasing the threshold voltage of p-GaN gate devices. Metal oxide deposited via atomic layer deposition (ALD) offers minimal damage and precise control of film thickness at the atomic level. AlN films grown via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) are dense and have low defect density. However, when the two films come into contact, the lattice constant difference creates a strong polarization effect, requiring a higher gate bias to offset the polarization field, thereby increasing the device threshold voltage. Furthermore, the dense AlN film can effectively protect the p-GaN gate during the deposition of the silicide film and metal oxide film, preventing it from being affected by impurities such as H and O, thereby improving device reliability. The topmost silicide film serves to increase the drain current. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a p-GaN enhanced-mode HEMT device with a stacked gate dielectric and a method for preparing the same. In addition to growing a layer of AlN as the gate dielectric layer via metal organic chemical vapor deposition, the device also utilizes a silicide / metal oxide stack as the device's contact passivation layer and gate dielectric to suppress current collapse and improve the device's breakdown characteristics. AlN has a large bandgap (~6.0 eV) and produces a polarization effect when in contact with a metal oxide film. Using it as the gate dielectric of a p-GaN HEMT device effectively suppresses gate leakage while minimizing the impact of device threshold voltage drift, thereby enhancing overall device performance.
