Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to a monolithic heterogeneous integration structure of a top p-type diamond MOSFET and a GaN HEMT and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, due to the advantages of the third-generation semiconductor material GaN, such as wide bandgap width, high breakdown electric field, and high electron saturation velocity, it has unique advantages in high-frequency high-power fields such as military, aerospace, and communication. However, when the ultra-high semiconductor device integration and GaN-based devices are applied in the high-frequency field, the accompanying high heat generation phenomenon cannot be ignored. The accumulation of the self-heating effect of the device will not only reduce the basic performance of the device such as the saturation current and transconductance, but may even cause the device to fail more seriously.
[0003] The thermal conductivity of GaN itself is only 130 W / (m·K) (watts per meter per Kelvin). The commonly used substrates for current GaN HEMTs mainly include SiC substrates, Si substrates, and sapphire substrates, etc. Among them, even when using a SiC substrate with a relatively high thermal conductivity, its heat dissipation performance far cannot meet the application of GaN FETs in the microwave high-power field. In addition, the highest operating temperature of silicon-based MOSFET devices in current logic circuits is 125 °C. The electrical performance of silicon-based devices above this operating temperature will be greatly degraded or even completely fail, while the operating temperature of devices applied in high-frequency high-power fields is much higher than 125 °C. Therefore, new material systems and device structures are needed to solve the current thermal problems faced by GaN devices and the high-temperature application problems of circuits.

[0045] S7. Fabricate a second gate electrode G2 on the surface of the gate dielectric layer away from the substrate to form a monolithic heterogeneous integration structure of a top p-type diamond MOSFET and a GaN HEMT.
[0046] This embodiment takes the AlGaN / GaN epitaxial structure based on a diamond substrate as an example, specifically as Figures 2-3As shown, an epitaxial structure is grown on the surface of a diamond substrate. The epitaxial structure includes a GaN buffer layer on one side of the substrate and an AlGaN barrier layer on the side of the GaN buffer layer away from the substrate. A SiN dielectric layer is sequentially grown on the surface of the AlGaN barrier layer away from the substrate. Then, the surface of the sample is cleaned. Exemplarily, the sample is first ultrasonically cleaned in an acetone solution for 3 minutes with an ultrasonic intensity of 3.0, then the sample is water-bath heated in a stripping solution at a temperature of 60°C for 5 minutes, and then the sample is ultrasonically cleaned in an acetone solution and an ethanol solution for 3 minutes respectively with an ultrasonic intensity of 3.0, rinsed with ultrapure water and dried with nitrogen. After cleaning the surface of the sample, a p-type diamond layer is grown on the SiN dielectric layer.
[0047] As Figure 2 shown, in the above step S2, the step of growing a SiN dielectric layer on the surface of the AlGaN barrier layer away from the substrate includes:
[0048] Growing a SiN dielectric layer on the surface of the AlGaN barrier layer away from the substrate by using the MOCVD process; wherein, along the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate is located, the thickness of the SiN dielectric layer is 5 - 20 nm.
[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , in the above step S2, the step of growing a p-type diamond layer on the surface of the SiN dielectric layer away from the substrate includes:
[0050] Providing a C source by using CH4 diluted with H2 and introducing B(CH3)3 diluted with H2 into the gas phase, and depositing a p-type diamond layer on the surface of the SiN dielectric layer away from the substrate by using the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) process.
[0051] Specifically, using 0.3% of CH4 to provide a C source and diluting it with H2, controlling the boron content by adding B(CH3)3 diluted with H2 into the gas phase to make B:C reach 1000 ppm, depositing a p-type diamond layer at a deposition rate of 0.13 - 0.2 μm / h under the conditions of a gas pressure of 25 torr, a microwave power of 750 W, a substrate temperature of 750 - 800°C, and a total gas flow rate of 400 sccm.
[0052] Optionally, along the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate is located, the thickness of the p-type diamond layer is 500 - 1000 nm.
[0053] As Figures 4-5 shown, in the above step S3, after etching away a part of the diamond layer, the steps of etching source electrode grooves and drain electrode grooves in the exposed SiN dielectric layer and fabricating a first source electrode of the HEMT device in the source electrode groove and a first drain electrode of the HEMT device in the drain electrode groove include:
[0054] S301. Bake the sample on a hot plate at 200 °C for 5 min, then apply and spin-coat photoresist on the sample, and bake the sample on a hot plate at 90 °C for 1 min. Then, place the sample in a lithography machine to expose the photoresist in the area of the p-type diamond layer that needs to be removed. After the exposure is completed, place the sample in a developer to remove the photoresist on the p-type diamond layer in the exposed area, and rinse it with ultrapure water and dry it with nitrogen.
[0055] Further, etch the p-type diamond layer in the exposed area. Specifically, use the ICP process to etch the p-type diamond layer in the exposed area to expose the underlying SiN dielectric layer, and then place the sample in acetone solution, stripping solution, acetone solution, and ethanol solution in sequence for cleaning, and rinse it with ultrapure water and dry it with nitrogen. As Figure 4 shown, after removing a part of the p-type diamond layer, the remaining p-type diamond layer includes a first sub-part A1 and a second sub-part A2.
[0056] S302. After etching and removing a part of the p-type diamond layer, etch the SiN dielectric layer corresponding to the first source electrode region and the first drain electrode region to the AlGaN barrier layer to form a source electrode groove and a drain electrode groove.
[0057] Exemplarily, first bake the sample on a hot plate at 200 °C for 5 min. Then, apply and spin-coat photoresist on the sample, and bake the sample on a hot plate at 90 °C for 1 min. Then, place the sample in a lithography machine to expose the photoresist in the source electrode and drain electrode regions. Finally, place the sample after the exposure is completed in a developer to remove the photoresist in the source electrode and drain electrode regions, and rinse it with ultrapure water and dry it with nitrogen.
[0058] Use the ICP etching process to remove the SiN dielectric layer in the first source electrode region and the first drain electrode region, etching to the upper surface of the AlGaN barrier layer. The etching conditions are: the reaction gases are CF4 and O2, the reaction chamber pressure is 10 mTorr, and the RF powers of the upper electrode and the lower electrode are 20 - 50 W and 5 - 10 W respectively.
[0059] S303. Place the sample with the source electrode groove and drain electrode groove etched in an electron beam evaporation chamber. After the vacuum degree of the reaction chamber of the electron beam evaporation chamber reaches 2×10 -6 Torr, evaporate ohmic metal on the surface of the sample. In this embodiment, the ohmic metal can be a metal stack structure composed of four layers of metals, Ti, Al, Ni, and Au, from bottom to top in sequence. Then, strip the sample after the ohmic metal evaporation is completed to remove the ohmic metal, photoresist, and stripping glue outside the first source electrode region and the first drain electrode region, rinse the sample with ultrapure water and dry it with nitrogen.
[0060] S304, as Figure 5 shown, place the sample after the ohmic metal evaporation and stripping into a rapid thermal annealing furnace for annealing treatment, so that the ohmic metal in the first source and drain electrode regions sinks to the GaN buffer layer, thereby forming an ohmic contact between the ohmic metal and the heterojunction channel. Optionally, the process conditions for annealing are: the annealing atmosphere is N2, the annealing temperature is 830 °C, and the annealing time is 30 s.
[0061] As Figure 6 shown, in the above step S4, the second source electrode S2 and the second drain electrode D2 of the MOSFET device are fabricated on the surface of the second sub - part A2.
[0062] S401. First, photolithograph the second source and drain electrode regions on the surface of the second sub - part A2 away from the substrate; specifically, place the sample on a hot plate at 200 °C and bake for 5 min, then apply and spin - coat the stripping glue, with the spin - coating thickness of 0.35 μm, and place the sample on a hot plate at 200 °C and bake for 5 min; then, apply and spin - coat the photoresist on the stripping glue, with the spin - coating thickness of 0.77 μm, and place the sample on a hot plate at 90 °C and bake for 1 min; place the sample after the coating and spin - coating into a lithography machine, and expose the photoresist in the second source electrode region and the second drain electrode region on the surface of the second sub - part A2; place the exposed sample into a developer to remove the photoresist and the stripping glue in the second source and drain electrode regions on the surface of the second sub - part A2, and rinse the sample with ultrapure water and dry it with nitrogen.
[0063] S402. Further, evaporate Au metal on the photoresist of the second sub - part A2. Specifically, place the sample into a plasma asher for bottom film treatment for 5 min; place the sample into an electron beam evaporation chamber. After the vacuum degree of the reaction chamber of the electron beam evaporation chamber reaches 2×10 -6 Torr, evaporate Au metal on the surface of the sample; then, strip the sample after the metal evaporation to remove the metal, photoresist and stripping glue outside the second source and drain electrode regions on the surface of the second sub - part A2, and rinse it with ultrapure water and dry it with nitrogen to form the second source electrode S2 and the second drain electrode D2 of the MOSFET device.
[0064] As Figure 7 shown, in the above step S5, after the second source electrode S2 and the second drain electrode D2 are fabricated, use the ALD (Atomic layer deposition) process to prepare Al2O3 in the active region of the MOSFET device to form a gate dielectric layer.
[0065] S501. Grow Al2O3 on the surface of the p-type diamond layer far from the substrate side by using the atomic layer deposition (ALD) process in the coating process. Specifically, when depositing Al2O3, use H2O as the oxidant and trimethylaluminum (TMA) as the aluminum source, and alternately introduce H2O and TMA in a pulsed manner. Among them, the pulse time of both TMA and H2O is 0.3 s, the purge time of TMA is 5 s, and the purge time of H2O is 7 s, and Al2O3 with a thickness of 5 - 20 nm is grown.
[0066] S502. Etch away the Al2O3 outside the MOSFET active region to form a gate dielectric layer. Optionally, first lithograph the region outside the MOSFET active region: Bake the epitaxial wafer on a hot plate at 200 °C for 5 min, then apply and spin-coat photoresist on the Al2O3 dielectric layer, and bake the sample on a hot plate at 90 °C for 1 min; Put the sample with applied and spin-coated photoresist into a lithography machine to expose the photoresist in the region outside the MOSFET active region; Then, put the sample into the developer to remove the photoresist in the region outside the MOSFET active region, rinse it with ultrapure water and dry it with nitrogen; Finally, use the ICP etching process to remove the Al2O3 dielectric layer in the region outside the MOSFET active region.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 8 , in step S6 above, fabricate the gate electrode of the HEMT device on the surface of the exposed SiN dielectric layer far from the substrate side.
[0068] S601. Lithograph the gate trench region on the SiN dielectric layer. Specifically, bake the sample on a hot plate at 200 °C for 5 min, then apply and spin-coat photoresist, and bake the sample on a hot plate at 90 °C for 1 min; Then, put the sample into a lithography machine to expose the photoresist in the gate electrode region; Put the exposed sample into the developer to remove the photoresist in the gate electrode region, and rinse it with ultrapure water and dry it with nitrogen.
[0069] S602. Use the ICP etching process to remove the SiN dielectric layer in the gate trench region, etching to the upper surface of the AlGaN barrier layer. The etching conditions are: use CF4 and O2 as the reaction gases, the reaction chamber pressure is 10 mTorr, and the RF powers of the upper electrode and the lower electrode are 20 - 50 W and 5 - 10 W respectively.
[0070] S603. Evaporate the gate electrode in the gate trench region. Put the sample into an electron beam evaporation chamber. Wait until the vacuum degree of the reaction chamber of the electron beam evaporation chamber reaches 2 × 10 -6After Torr, the gate metal is evaporated on the sample surface. The gate metal can be a metal stack structure composed of two layers of metals, Ni and Au, from bottom to top in sequence; the sample after the gate metal evaporation is stripped to remove the gate metal, photoresist, and stripping glue outside the first gate electrode groove area, and the sample is rinsed with ultrapure water and dried with nitrogen.
[0071] It should be noted that the remaining p-type diamond layer after etching in this embodiment includes two parts, a first sub-part A1 and a second sub-part A2. Along the direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate is located, the orthographic projection of the first sub-part A1 is located between the orthographic projection of the first gate electrode and the orthographic projection of the first drain electrode, and the orthographic projections of the second source electrode and the second drain electrode are both within the orthographic projection of the second sub-part A2, and the first sub-part A1 is in contact with the first gate electrode; that is to say, the part of the p-type diamond layer that is etched away refers to the p-type diamond layer at the corresponding positions of the first source electrode S1, the first gate electrode G1, and the first drain electrode of the HEMT device.
[0072] Please refer to Figure 9 , in the above step S7, first, the sample is baked on a hot plate at 200 °C for 5 min, then the stripping glue is coated and spun on the gate dielectric layer, and the spin coating thickness is 0.35 μm, and the sample is baked on a hot plate at 200 °C for 5 min; then, the photoresist is coated and spun on the stripping glue, and its spin coating thickness is 0.77 μm, and the sample is baked on a hot plate at 90 °C for 1 min; after that, the sample after the coating and spinning is put into a photolithography machine to expose the photoresist in the second gate electrode area; the exposed sample is put into a developer to remove the photoresist and stripping glue in the second gate electrode area, and it is rinsed with ultrapure water and dried with nitrogen, so as to form the second gate electrode area by photolithography on the gate dielectric layer.
[0073] Furthermore, the sample with the lithography patterns of the active electrode and the drain electrode is put into a plasma asher for the bottom film treatment, and the treatment time is 5 min; then, the sample is put into an electron beam evaporation chamber. When the vacuum degree of the reaction chamber of the electron beam evaporation chamber reaches 2×10 -6 Torr, the gate metal Al is evaporated on the sample surface; the sample after the gate metal evaporation is stripped to remove the metal Al, photoresist, and stripping glue outside the second gate electrode area; finally, it is rinsed with ultrapure water and dried with nitrogen.
