[0002] With the development of microelectronics technology, the third generation of wide bandgap semiconductor materials represented by GaN are widely used for preparing microwave power devices due to their stable chemical properties and physical properties such as high temperature resistance and radiation resistance. With the continuous improvement and improvement of the design and process of GaN microwave power devices, the theoretical output power is higher and higher, the frequency is larger and larger, and the volume is smaller and smaller. At the same time, the heat of the chip active region is continuously accumulated, so that the heat dissipation of the device becomes one of the main problems hindering the development of GaN-based power devices.
[0003] Traditional GaN-based power devices are mainly grown on sapphire, SiC and other substrate materials, and the thermal conductivity of these materials is relatively low, which cannot timely dissipate the large amount of heat generated by the device, thereby causing the junction temperature of the device to rise, and the output power density and efficiency and other performances to deteriorate rapidly. In addition, in the fields of automobile engines and spacecraft, the performance of devices prepared using sapphire and SiC substrates is greatly limited in extremely high power and high temperature environments.
[0004] In recent years, diamond materials have attracted widespread attention as preferred materials for preparing high-performance electronic devices due to their excellent physical and chemical properties such as breakdown electric field strength and high thermal conductivity. In terms of the combination of diamond and GaN, there are currently mainly the following ways, one is a substrate transfer technology of directly growing diamond on the back of a GaN epitaxial layer; two is a low-temperature bonding technology; three is a technology of epitaxially growing GaN on a single crystal diamond.
