[0034] Figure 1The flowchart of the method for preparing a HEMT semiconductor device provided in the first embodiment of the present application is shown. For the convenience of explanation, only the part related to the present embodiment is shown, which is described in detail as follows:

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for preparing a HEMT semiconductor device includes steps S100 to S500:

[0036] S100, sequentially depositing a semiconductor substrate 110, a channel layer 120, a barrier layer 130, and a P-type cap layer 140, and dividing the channel layer 120, the barrier layer 130, and the P-type cap layer 140 into a first functional region 131, a second functional region 132, and a third functional region 133. The first functional region 131, the second functional region 132, and the third functional region 133 do not overlap each other. In one example, the schematic diagram of the structure of the semiconductor substrate 110, the channel layer 120, the barrier layer 130, and the P-type cap layer 140 is shown in FIG. Figure 2 The top view of the first functional area 131, the second functional area 132, and the third functional area 133 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.

[0037] S200, etching the P-type cap layer 140 and constructing a plurality of sub-power switches 300 in the second functional area 132. In one example, a top view of the sub-power switch 300 is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, there are three sub-power switches 300 in the second functional area 132 .

[0038] S300, a plurality of isolation grooves are etched in the channel layer 120 and the barrier layer 130 between the sub-power switch 300 and the first functional area 131 and / or the third functional area 133 until the semiconductor substrate 110 is exposed, and an isolation material is filled into the isolation grooves to form an isolation layer 150. In one example, the structural schematic diagram of the isolation layer 150 is shown in FIG. Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, an isolation layer 150 is provided outside the first functional area 131 and the third functional area 133. Taking the isolation layer 150 corresponding to the first functional area 131 as an example, the isolation layer 150 is annular and separates the channel layer 120 and the barrier layer 130 in the first functional area 131 from each sub-power switch 300. The isolation material can be silicon oxide or silicon nitride.

[0039] S400, construct a plurality of diodes 500 in the first functional area 131 and / or the third functional area 133. The anode of at least one diode 500 is connected to the source of the corresponding sub-power switch 300, and the cathode of at least one diode 500 is connected to the drain of the corresponding sub-power switch 300. In one example, the top view of the diode 500 is as shown in FIG. Figure 7As shown, specifically, the first functional area 131 and the third functional area 133 are each provided with three diodes 500. Taking the first functional area 131 as an example, the isolation layer 150 of the first functional area 131 surrounds the diode 500 of the first functional area 131, separating the channel layer 120 and the barrier layer 130 between the diode 500 and the sub-power switch 300. The diode 500 and the sub-power switch 300 are directly connected above the barrier layer 130.

[0040] S500, constructing a source pad layer 210, a drain pad layer 220 and a gate pad layer 230 above the first functional area 131 and the third functional area 133; the source of each sub-power switch 300 is connected to the source pad layer 210, the drain of each sub-power switch 300 is connected to the drain pad layer 220, and the gate of each sub-power switch 300 is connected to the gate pad layer 230. In an example, the structure diagram of the source pad layer 210, the drain pad layer 220 and the gate pad layer 230 is as shown in FIG. Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, the source pad layer 210 is located above the first functional area 131, the drain pad layer 220 and the gate pad layer 230 are located above the third functional area 133, and the source pad layer 210, the drain pad layer 220 and the gate pad layer 230 are respectively connected to the corresponding sub-power switches 300.

[0041] The number of diodes 500 and sub-power switches 300 can be configured according to actual needs, and the diodes 500 in the same functional area can be connected in series or in parallel.

[0042] In this embodiment, the diode 500 is integrated in the HEMT semiconductor device and the diode 500 is reversely connected in parallel with the corresponding sub-power switch 300, so that when a high voltage greater than the breakdown voltage of the diode 500 is applied to the HEMT semiconductor device, the diode 500 can be broken down first, and the voltage is limited to prevent the HEMT semiconductor device from being burned by the high voltage, thereby protecting the sub-power switch 300 in the HEMT semiconductor device.

[0043] In this embodiment, Fig.10 As shown, step S200 specifically includes steps S210 to S230:

[0044] S210, etching the P-type cap layer 140 to obtain a plurality of sub-P-type cap layers 141. In one example, the sub-P-type cap layer 141 is in a straight strip shape, and the plurality of sub-P-type cap layers 141 are aligned and arranged in parallel on the barrier layer 130 in sequence, and the sub-P-type cap layer 141 can be determined according to the number of sub-power switches 300 to be constructed.

[0045] S220, forming a gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 on each sub-P-type cap layer 141. In one example, the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 corresponds to the sub-P-type cap layer 141. Since the sub-P-type cap layer 141 is provided between the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 and the barrier layer 130, the sub-power switch 300 is an enhancement-mode HEMT device.

[0046] S230, constructing source interdigitated metal field plates 310 and drain interdigitated metal field plates 320 on the barrier layer 130 on both sides of each gate interdigitated metal field plate 330. A side cross-sectional view of the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330, the source interdigitated metal field plate 310 and the drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 of one of the sub-power switches 300 is shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown, a gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 and adjacent source interdigitated metal field plates 310 and drain interdigitated metal field plates 320 may form a sub-power switch 300 through corresponding two-dimensional electron gas.

[0047] The source interdigitated metal field plate 310 is the source of the corresponding sub-power switch 300 , the drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 is the drain of the corresponding sub-power switch 300 , and the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 is the gate of the corresponding sub-power switch 300 .

[0048] It should be noted that a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is formed between the channel layer 120 and the barrier layer 130, and the two-dimensional electron gas can be used as a transmission channel to transmit electrical energy. The gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 is used to control the on-off of the two-dimensional electron gas between the drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 and the source interdigitated metal field plate 310, and the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330, the source interdigitated metal field plate 310 and the drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 form a sub-power switch 300 through the two-dimensional electron gas.

[0049] It should be noted that when the voltage applied to the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 is greater than the corresponding turn-on voltage, the two-dimensional electron gas between the corresponding drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 and the corresponding source interdigitated metal field plate 310 is turned on. When the voltage applied to the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 is less than the corresponding turn-on voltage, the two-dimensional electron gas between the corresponding drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 and the corresponding source interdigitated metal field plate 310 is cut off.

[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the source interdigitated metal field plate 310, the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 and the drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 are all in the shape of straight strips, and the source interdigitated metal field plate 310, the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 and the drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 are arranged alternately and parallel to each other. The drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 and the source interdigitated metal field plate 310 of two adjacent sub-power switches 300 can be connected through the two-dimensional electron gas between the two sub-power switches 300, so that each sub-power switch 300 is connected in series in sequence, thereby constructing an interdigitated HEMT device.

[0051] In this embodiment, the distance between the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 and the source interdigitated metal field plate 310 is smaller than the distance between the gate interdigitated metal field plate 330 and the drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the diode 500 includes an anode metal layer 510 and a cathode metal layer 520 formed on the barrier layer 130, and the anode metal layer 510 and the cathode metal layer 520 are spaced a certain distance apart. A side cross-sectional schematic diagram of a diode 500 is shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown, the anode metal layer 510 and the cathode metal layer 520 are connected via a two-dimensional electron gas. Specifically, the anode metal layer 510 may be a Schottky metal layer, and the cathode metal layer 520 may be an ohmic metal layer. A metal-semiconductor junction is formed by the Schottky metal and the barrier layer 130, and the metal-semiconductor junction is connected to the ohmic metal layer via the two-dimensional electron gas to form a Schottky diode.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, in one example, each anode metal layer 510 and each cathode metal layer 520 in the same functional area are arranged alternately in sequence. Each diode 500 in the same functional area is connected in series in sequence through the two-dimensional electron gas.

[0054] In this embodiment, at least one anode metal layer 510 is connected to the source of the corresponding sub-power switch 300 , and at least one cathode metal layer 520 is connected to the drain of the corresponding sub-power switch 300 .

[0055] like Figure 7As shown, in one example, taking the three diodes 500 in the first functional area 131 as an example, in a diode 500 series circuit composed of multiple diodes 500 connected in series, the anode metal layer 510 of the first diode 500 is the anode of the diode 500 series circuit, and the anode metal layer 510 is directly connected to the corresponding source interdigitated metal field plate 310 from above the isolation layer 150, the cathode metal layer 520 of the first diode 500 is connected to the anode metal layer 510 of the adjacent second diode 500, the cathode metal layer 520 of the second diode 500 is connected to the anode metal layer 510 of the last diode 500, the cathode metal layer 520 of the last diode 500 is the cathode of the diode 500 series circuit, and the cathode metal layer 520 is directly connected to the corresponding drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 from above the isolation layer 150.

[0057] S410, forming a plurality of connection metal layers 410 on each source interdigitated metal field plate 310 and drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 through a BEOL (Backend Of Line) process. The connection metal layer 410 is used to connect with the corresponding source pad layer 210 and drain pad layer 220. In one example, Fig.14 As shown, two connection metal layers 410 are formed on both the source interdigitated metal field plate 310 and the drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 .

[0058] Specifically, the barrier layer 130 is also filled with an insulating fixing material for fixing the connection metal layer 410 , the source pad layer 210 , the drain pad layer 220 and the gate pad layer 230 .

[0059] Among them, Fig.14 As shown, the source interdigitated metal field plate 310 and the drain interdigitated metal field plate 320 are connected to the corresponding connection metal layer 410 via a conductive metal column 430 , and the connection metal layers 410 are connected via conductive vias 420 .
