Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microelectronic devices, and particularly to a method for fabricating a device and its structure. Background Art

[0002] A high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), also known as a modulation-doped field effect transistor, has characteristics such as high electron mobility, high efficiency and low power consumption, high operating frequency, high power gain, and radiation resistance, and is widely used in microwave, millimeter-wave integrated circuits, and ultra-high-speed digital integrated circuits.

[0003] Indium phosphide (InP) is an optimal material for fabricating HEMT. However, there are significant problems in its compatibility with the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process of silicon substrate integrated circuits. Therefore, the application of HEMT devices based on indium phosphide (InP) is severely restricted. To solve the compatibility problem, the prior art proposes a heterogeneous integration method that combines a silicon (Si) substrate and an indium phosphide (InP) thin film. The mainstream methods include the ion beam lift-off transfer method and the heteroepitaxial method. Due to the lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch between the silicon (Si) substrate and the indium phosphide (InP) thin film, the heteroepitaxial method will introduce a large number of defects, such as dislocations, antiphase domains, etc. These defects, as the scattering and recombination centers of carriers, will introduce defect energy levels in the forbidden band, thereby reducing the carrier mobility in the device. In contrast, the ion beam lift-off transfer method can improve the lattice quality of the indium phosphide (InP) thin film and reduce the influence of the device by lattice mismatch and thermal stress, which is beneficial to the growth of subsequent device structures and the improvement of performance.

[0004] During the fabrication process of the heterogeneous substrate, due to the design requirements of the device structure, there is a silicon dioxide layer between the silicon (Si) substrate and the indium phosphide (InP) thin film. Due to the low thermal conductivity of the silicon dioxide layer, such as 0.27 W / cm·K, during the operation of the device, the temperature is extremely likely to rise, seriously affecting the performance of the device, such as the threshold current, output power, power density, etc. Moreover, due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the silicon (Si) substrate and the indium phosphide (InP) thin film, a large thermal stress will be introduced during the temperature rise process to damage the device. Summary of the Invention

Based on a traditional heterogeneous substrate including a silicon substrate and an indium phosphide layer disposed on the silicon substrate, silicon carbide is introduced, and the indium phosphide layer is disposed on the silicon carbide layer to form a heterogeneous composite substrate, so that the obtained device can be compatible with a modulation-doped field-effect transistor and a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor. Moreover, the problem that high-thermal-conductivity silicon carbide and a silicon substrate cannot coexist can be solved. In addition, by using the fact that silicon carbide has a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of the indium phosphide layer along the C axis, the thermal stress can be reduced, the performance of the device can be improved, and the service life of the device can be extended.

[0079] Based on the device preparation method described above, an example will be given below for illustration.

[0080] Obtain a single-crystal 4H-SiC substrate and select a bonding surface. At the same time, an InP single-crystal substrate can be obtained, and a polished surface of the InP single-crystal substrate can be selected as the implantation surface. During the preparation process, chemical vapor deposition can be performed from the implantation surface of the InP single-crystal substrate to deposit SiO2 with a thickness of 200 nm, and at room temperature, He ion implantation can be performed from the implantation surface of the InP single-crystal substrate, and the implantation energy can be 115 KeV, and the implantation dose can be 5×10 16 cm -2Clean the InP single crystal substrate with a 1:10 diluted BOE solution to remove SiO2 on the surface of the InP single crystal substrate, hydrophilically bond the bonding surface of the single crystal 4H-SiC substrate to the implantation surface of the InP single crystal substrate, and perform a post-annealing peeling treatment on the bonded pair. The environment for the post-annealing peeling treatment is to heat up to 200 °C at a rate of 1 °C / min, hold for 5 h, and then naturally cool to room temperature to obtain a SiC / InP hetero-film structure. The InP surface of the SiC / InP hetero-film structure can be polished. Then, an SOI substrate can be obtained, and the depth of the buried oxide layer of the SOI substrate can be 660 nm from the surface. Then, hydrophilically bond the InP surface of the SiC / InP hetero-film structure to the SOI substrate, and perform a post-annealing peeling treatment on the bonded pair. The environment for the post-annealing peeling treatment is to heat up to 400 °C at a rate of 1 °C / min, hold for 2 h, and then naturally cool to room temperature, and perform etching treatment with HF to obtain a SiC / InP / Si three-layer structure. Subsequently, CMOS devices can be fabricated on a specific area of the Si layer surface of the cleaned SiC / InP / Si three-layer structure using photolithography technology, and windows can be fabricated on a specific area of the Si layer surface using photolithography and etching until the InP layer is exposed.
