Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power semiconductor devices, and in particular to a single particle effect reinforced printed transfer GaN / Ga2O3 Cascode power device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of semiconductor device technology, the third-generation wide bandgap semiconductor materials represented by GaN have attracted extensive attention from researchers due to their many material advantages such as wide bandgap width, high electron mobility, and fast electron saturation velocity. The electronic devices prepared by them have higher operating voltage and operating frequency, higher current density, and better radiation resistance and high temperature resistance. Therefore, they are very suitable for use in power electronic systems with high power density, high energy conversion, and irradiation environment in the aerospace field. The continuous development of aerospace technology requires the development of power electronic devices with higher power conversion efficiency, higher power density, and stronger reliability. In addition, due to the presence of high-energy particles in the space environment, these particles will penetrate the power electronic system and cause serious single-particle burning. Therefore, this requires that aerospace power electronic devices must have excellent single-particle irradiation resistance. The ultra-wide bandgap material Ga2O3 has a wider bandgap width, low intrinsic carrier concentration, and high electron saturation velocity. The devices prepared by it have higher voltage resistance and faster operating frequency, as well as better radiation resistance and high temperature resistance, which can be used as a solution for aerospace power electronic devices.
[0003] Enhancement-mode power electronic devices have many advantages over depletion-mode devices, such as simplified circuit design, no need for additional negative gate voltage drive circuits, and reduced energy consumption. The usual methods for achieving enhancement in Ga2O3-based power devices are: 1. Non-in-situ growth of P-type NiOX oxide to deplete the channel electrons under the gate; 2. Removing the channel electrons under the gate through a grooved MIS structure. However, processes such as non-in-situ growth of oxide layers and groove etching will introduce new interface states or defects, which may cause serious reliability problems and are obviously not suitable for use in the aerospace field. This problem can be effectively solved by an enhanced Cascode structure consisting of a low-voltage enhancement-mode device and a high-voltage depletion-mode device cascaded.
[0004] Usually, the enhanced Cascode structure is composed of low-voltage enhanced Si metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors and high-voltage depletion-type GaN high electron mobility transistors. In order to further improve the radiation resistance of the Cascode structure, enhanced P-GaN AlGaN / GaN high electron mobility transistors and depletion-type Ga2O3 transistors are used to form the Cascode to avoid premature failure of Si devices under radiation.
[0005] At present, the Cascode structure in the world is mainly based on hybrid integration, that is, it is formed by packaging and bonding the enhancement mode device chip and the depletion mode device chip. However, the Cascode structure made by this method will introduce a large parasitic inductance into the bonding wire, thus affecting the normal operation of the system. Therefore, a new Cascode structure manufacturing method must be proposed to eliminate the influence of parasitic inductance. Summary of the invention

[0016] 4) Masking the entire cascode structure area, and forming mutual isolation between cascode structures through photolithography and etching;
[0017] 5) growing a mask layer on the Ga2O3 channel layer, performing photolithography and etching on the mask layer, and exposing a regional window of the GaN HEMT device on the substrate;
[0018] 6) removing the old mask layer from the epitaxial wafer obtained in the above steps, then growing a new mask layer on the Ga2O3 channel layer, photolithography and etching to expose the source and drain windows, and using an ion implantation process to implant Si into the source and drain regions in the source and drain windows;
[0019] 7) Another SOI substrate with a buried oxide layer thickness of 200 nm is selected, the surface of the SOI substrate is cleaned and pretreated to eliminate surface dangling bonds, and the surface contaminants are removed by heat treatment at 900° C. to 1200° C. in a H2 atmosphere reaction chamber;

[0023] 11) A p-type p-GaN layer with a thickness of 50nm to 100nm is deposited on the AlGaN barrier layer using MOCVD process, and the doping concentration is 1×10 16 cm -3 -1×10 20 cm -3 Mg;
[0024] 12) Masking the enhanced GaN HEMT device region and forming mutual isolation between GaN HEMT devices by photolithography and etching;
[0025] 13) Soaking the SOI epitaxial wafer after the epitaxial layer is grown in the above steps in a 49% HF solution for 15 minutes to etch away part of the exposed SOI buried oxide layer;

[0029] a) Using solidified polydimethylsiloxane to couple with the p-GaN layer on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer on SOI, and then separating the two systems at a speed of 10 cm / s. Since the adhesion of polydimethylsiloxane is proportional to the separation rate, the faster separation speed allows the epitaxial layer on SOI and the Si film to detach from the substrate and adhere to the polydimethylsiloxane;
[0030] b) coupling the polydimethylsiloxane with the epitaxial layer film on the single crystal silicon with the exposed GaN HEMT region described in step 5), and then separating them at a speed of 1 mm / s.

At this time, the adhesion of the polydimethylsiloxane to the p-GaN layer on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer on Si is weaker than the adhesion of the exposed region described in step 5) to the single crystal Si on the lower surface of the epitaxial layer on Si. Therefore, the epitaxial layer on Si can be obtained by the exposed region described in step 5), thereby completing the printing transfer;

[0057] Step 4: Make Cascode countertop isolation.
[0058] The entire wafer is masked with photoresist, and the cascode structure area is left through photolithography exposure and development, and then placed in the RIE etching reaction chamber for etching to form a mesa isolation, and finally the photoresist is removed by cleaning with acetone, ethanol, and deionized water.
[0059] Step 5: Make a mask and a GaN HEMT device area window.
[0060] At the same time, silane with a flow rate of 2000sccm and oxygen with a flow rate of 3000sccm are introduced into the reaction chamber to grow a 1μm SiO2 mask layer on the Ga2O3 buffer layer. Then, a photoresist is used for masking, and the GaN HEMT device area is exposed by photolithography. The exposed area is placed in an RIE etching reaction chamber and etched until the substrate is exposed.
[0061] Step 6, ion implantation into the Ga2O3 channel source and drain regions.

[0066] The epitaxial wafer that has completed the above process is placed into the MOCVD system under the same conditions as before, and Al source with a flow rate of 40 μmol / min, hydrogen with a flow rate of 1200 sccm, and ammonia with a flow rate of 3000 sccm are introduced into the chamber at the same time to grow a 50 nm thick AlN nucleation layer on the pretreated sapphire substrate.
[0067] Step 9: fabricate a GaN buffer layer.
[0068] At the same time, a Ga source with a flow rate of 40 μmol / min, a hydrogen with a flow rate of 1200 sccm, and an ammonia with a flow rate of 3000 sccm were introduced into the reaction chamber to grow a 1 μm thick GaN buffer layer on the AlN nucleation layer.
[0069] Step 10: fabricating an AlGaN barrier layer.
[0070] At the same time, Al source with a flow rate of 10 μmol / min, Ga source with a flow rate of 40 μmol / min, hydrogen with a flow rate of 1200 sccm and ammonia with a flow rate of 3000 sccm were introduced into the reaction chamber to grow a 10 nm thick AlGaN barrier layer on the GaN buffer layer.

[0073] Step 12: Fabricate GaN HEMT mesa isolation.
[0074] The entire wafer is masked with photoresist, and the GaN HEMT mesa area is left through photolithography exposure and development. It is then placed in the RIE etching reaction chamber for etching to form mesa isolation, and finally the photoresist is removed by cleaning with acetone, ethanol, and deionized water.
[0075] Step 13, partially corroding the buried oxide layer of the SOI substrate.
[0076] The SOI epitaxial wafer that has completed the above process is immersed in a 49% HF solution for 15 minutes to etch away a portion of the exposed SOI buried oxide layer.

[0082] a) Using solidified polydimethylsiloxane to couple with the p-GaN layer on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer on SOI, and then separating the two systems at a speed of 10 cm / s. Since the adhesion of polydimethylsiloxane is proportional to the separation rate, the faster separation speed allows the epitaxial layer on SOI and the Si film to detach from the substrate and adhere to the polydimethylsiloxane;
[0083] b) coupling the polydimethylsiloxane with the epitaxial layer film on the single crystal silicon with the exposed GaN HEMT region described in step 5, and then separating at a speed of 1 mm / s. Since the separation speed is low, the adhesion of the polydimethylsiloxane is weak. At this time, the adhesion of the polydimethylsiloxane to the p-GaN layer on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer on Si is weaker than the adhesion of the exposed region described in step 5 to the single crystal Si on the lower surface of the epitaxial layer on Si. Therefore, the epitaxial layer on Si can be obtained by the exposed region described in step 5, thereby completing the printing transfer;

[0134] a) Using solidified polydimethylsiloxane to couple with the p-GaN layer on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer on SOI, and then separating the two systems at a speed of 10 cm / s. Since the adhesion of polydimethylsiloxane is proportional to the separation rate, the faster separation speed allows the epitaxial layer on SOI and the Si film to detach from the substrate and adhere to the polydimethylsiloxane;
[0135] b) coupling the polydimethylsiloxane with the epitaxial layer film on the single crystal silicon with the exposed GaN HEMT region described in step 5, and then separating at a speed of 1 mm / s. Since the separation speed is low, the adhesion of the polydimethylsiloxane is weak. At this time, the adhesion of the polydimethylsiloxane to the p-GaN layer on the upper surface of the epitaxial layer on Si is weaker than the adhesion of the exposed region described in step 5 to the single crystal Si on the lower surface of the epitaxial layer on Si. Therefore, the epitaxial layer on Si can be obtained by the exposed region described in step 5, thereby completing the printing transfer;
[0136] Step 17, etching p-GaN.
[0137] A mask is made on the p-GaN layer using photoresist. After photolithography exposure and development, the epitaxial wafer is placed in the RIE reaction chamber to etch away the p-GaN layer except the p-GaN layer under the gate to expose the AlGaN barrier layer.
[0138] Step 18, fabricating the source and drain of the GaN HEMT.
[0139] A mask is made on the AlGaN barrier layer to form source and drain windows, and then it is placed in a metal evaporation reaction chamber, and the pressure of the reaction chamber is maintained at 8.8×10 -2 Pa, using aluminum and titanium targets with a purity of 99.999%, deposited Ti / Al metal as the source in the source window, and then annealed at a high temperature of 870°C for 30s.
[0140] Step 19, make the Ga2O3 FET source and drain.
[0141] A mask is made on the Ga2O3 channel layer to form source and drain windows, and then it is placed in a metal evaporation reaction chamber, and the pressure of the reaction chamber is maintained at 8.8×10 -2 Pa, using titanium and gold targets with a purity of 99.999%, deposited Ti / Au metal as the source in the source window, and then annealed at a high temperature of 480°C.
[0142] Step 20, fabricating Ga2O3 FET and GaN HEMT gates.
[0143] Masks were made on the Ga2O3 channel layer and the AlGaN barrier layer to form source and drain windows, and then placed in a metal evaporation reaction chamber with a pressure of 8.8×10 -2 Pa, using nickel and gold targets with a purity of 99.999%, deposited metal Ni / Au with a thickness of 45nm / 200nm as the gate in the drain window and gate window respectively.
[0144] Step 21, making a passivation layer.
[0145] The sample after the above steps was placed in a plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) reaction chamber, and a 100 nm thick SiN passivation layer was deposited at a high temperature of 400°C.
[0146] Step 22, making contact holes and metal.
[0147] The source and gate are photolithographically processed and etched to form contact holes for the gate and source to complete metal interconnection.
[0148] Step 23, making a passivation layer.
[0149] The sample after the above steps is placed in a plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) reaction chamber, and a 200 nm thick SiN passivation layer is deposited at a high temperature of 400°C.
[0150] Step 24, making contact holes and metal.
[0151] The source and drain are photolithographically etched to form contact holes for the drain and source to complete the device fabrication.
