Embodiment 1

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, 3A-3C, 5.

[0028] The AlGaN / GaN heterojunction material in Fig. 2 includes substrate 1, buffer layer 2, channel layer 3 and barrier layer 4, channel layer 3 and barrier layer 4 between devices, between AlGaN / GaN HEMT The intervening channel layer 3 and barrier layer 4 are bombarded by high-energy ion beams to form a high-resistance damaged layer 9, which realizes electrical isolation between devices. The specific production process is:

[0029] As shown in Figure 3A, the first ohmic contact region 5 is formed on the barrier layer 4 of the AlGaN / GaN heterojunction material as the source electrode, and then the barrier layer 4 is separated from the first ohmic contact region by 2 micrometers to 5 micrometers. The method of forming the second ohmic contact region 6 as the drain electrode and forming the ohmic contact with the AlGaN barrier layer is well known in the art and will not be repeated here. A mask 8 is used to protect the AlGaN / GaN hetero...

Abstract

Aiming at issues of influencing on connection of interconnection line caused by height of tabletop and low yield existed in insulation of tabletop adopted by nitride semiconductor device, the invention discloses method of electrics insulation between active areas of nitride semiconductor device by using boron ion implantation. The method includes steps: after forming source ohmic contact and drain ohmic contact on AlGaN/GaN hetero junction, the method protects place, where ion implantation is not needed to carry out, of surface of AlGaN/GaN hetero junction material and device by using mask; forming high resistance damage zone on the said place not protected by using boron ion bombardment one or two times. Ensuring electrics insulation for device, the invention raises performance of device and is in favor of raising yield.
