In addition, the substrate 11 may be a bulk substrate 11. The substrate 11 may be lightly doped with p-type impurities, such as boron or indium.

[0047] At the same time, an insulating layer 40 is also deposited on the surface of the first groove 31 and the second groove 32, wherein the insulating layer 40 is deposited on the bottom and sidewalls of the first groove 31, the insulating layer 40 located at the bottom of the first groove 31 is in contact with the first P+ doping region 21, the insulating layer 40 is deposited on the sidewalls of the second groove 32, and the insulating layer 40 is not deposited on the bottom of the second groove 32. Optionally, the insulating layer 40 is a SiO2 insulating layer 40 formed by deposition, and the silicon oxide (SiO2) insulating layer 40 is often used as an insulating layer 40 and forms an insulator.
[0048] In order to form a full vertical MOSFET and a junction barrier diode, an ohmic contact metal 51 and a Schottky contact metal 52 are further provided on the surface of the insulating layer 40 of the full vertical power device. The ohmic contact metal 51 is used for ohmic contact, and the Schottky contact metal 52 is used for Schottky contact. The ohmic contact metal is located in the first groove 31, and the Schottky contact metal is located in the second groove 32. Part of the Schottky contact metal 52 located at the bottom of the groove is in contact with the gallium nitride low-doped N-layer 14, the first P+ doped region 21 and the second P+ doped region 22. The gallium nitride N-type active region 16, the gallium nitride P-type substrate 15, the gallium nitride low-doped N-layer 14, the P+ doped region and the gallium nitride high-doped N+ layer 13 constitute a full vertical MOSFET, and the gallium nitride low-doped N-layer 14, the P+ doped region and the gallium nitride high-doped N+ layer 13 constitute a junction barrier diode.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown by the dotted lines, the first P+ doped region 21 and the second P+ doped region 22 respectively cut off the leakage current generated by the full vertical MOSFET and the junction barrier diode, thereby improving the reverse withstand voltage of the diode, providing a larger current capacity and a smaller on-resistance.
[0050] Meanwhile, in order to form the full vertical MOSFET structure, a trench 60 is also provided at the bottom of the full vertical power device, the trench 60 penetrates through the substrate 11 and the buffer layer 12 and extends to the gallium nitride high-doped N+ layer 13, meanwhile, the surface of the trench 60 is used to lay the drain electrode 70, the two source electrodes 81 and 82 of the full vertical MOSFET structure are respectively arranged on the surface of the gallium nitride N-type active region 16, and the two source electrodes 81 and 82 are arranged on the two sides of the gallium nitride N-type active region 16 along the second direction Y, the ohmic contact metal 51, the drain electrode 61 and the source electrodes 81 and 82 respectively form the gate terminal, the drain terminal and the source terminal of the full vertical MOSFET, and input and output corresponding power signals and control signals, thereby forming Figure 2 the equivalent circuit as shown, wherein Q1 represents the full vertical MOSFET, and D1 represents the junction barrier diode.

Compared with the quasi-vertical power device, the full vertical design will accommodate more devices per unit area. Excellent electrical contact and mechanical stability are provided.
[0053] In order to simultaneously contact the Schottky contact metal 52 and ensure that the first P+ doped region 21 is located below the ohmic contact metal 51, optionally, as Figure 1 shown, along the second direction Y, the size of the first P+ doped region 21 is greater than the size of the second P+ doped region 22.

[0055] The insulating layer 40 is arranged in the two grooves respectively, and during manufacturing, each groove is deposited separately, that is, the mesa region between the first groove 31 and the second groove 32 of the gallium nitride N-type active region 16 is not provided with the insulating layer 40.
[0056] The ohmic contact metal 51 and the Schottky contact metal 52 can be optionally implemented using corresponding single-layer or multi-layer metal films.

At the same time, a first P+ doping region 21 and a second P+ doping region 22 are added under the gate of the full-vertical MOSFET to form an equivalent full-vertical MOSFET and a junction barrier diode respectively. The quasi-vertical MOSFET and the junction barrier diode are integrated in parallel, and the P+ doping region improves the reverse withstand voltage of the junction barrier diode. At the same time, by forming a groove 60, a larger current capacity and a smaller on-resistance are provided for the full-vertical MOSFET.
[0058] The second aspect of the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a full vertical power device, such as Figure 3 As shown, the production method includes the following steps:
[0059] S11, such as Figure 4 As shown, a buffer layer 12, a highly doped gallium nitride N+ layer 13, and a lowly doped gallium nitride N- layer 14 are sequentially grown on a substrate 11 along a first direction X. A first P+ doped region 21 and a second P+ doped region 22 are formed within the lowly doped gallium nitride N- layer 14. The first P+ doped region 21 and the second P+ doped region 22 are sequentially arranged along a second direction Y, with the first direction X and the second direction Y intersecting. The substrate 11 may be a crystalline silicon substrate 11. Alternatively, the substrate 11 may be formed of other semiconductor materials, such as silicon germanium. Furthermore, the substrate 11 may be a bulk substrate 11. The substrate 11 may be lightly doped with p-type impurities, such as boron or indium.
[0060] At the same time, the first P+ doping region 21 and the second P+ doping region 22 formed in the GaN low-doped N-layer 14 improve the reverse withstand voltage of the junction barrier diode.
[0061] S12, such as Figure 5 As shown, a GaN P-type substrate 15 and a GaN N-type active region 16 are sequentially grown along a first direction X on the GaN low-doped N-layer 14, wherein the GaN high-doped N+ layer 13 constitutes a drain region, the GaN low-doped N-layer 14 constitutes a drift region, the GaN high-doped N+ layer 13 is grown on the buffer layer 12, and the GaN low-doped N-layer 14, the GaN P-type substrate 15 and the GaN N-type active region 16 are epitaxially grown on the GaN high-doped N+ layer 13.
[0062] S13, such as Figure 6 As shown, in order to form a fully vertical power device, the gallium nitride low-doped N-layer 14, the gallium nitride P-type substrate 15 and the gallium nitride N-type active area 16 are further etched by etching to form a first groove 31 and a second groove 32 etched side by side along the second direction Y. The first groove 31 and the second groove 32 penetrate the gallium nitride N-type active area 16 and the gallium nitride P-type substrate 15 and extend to the gallium nitride low-doped N-layer 14. The first groove 31 and the second groove 32 can be set as vertical grooves, V-shaped grooves or grooves of other shapes. The specific shape is not limited. Optionally, in order to simplify the manufacturing process, the first groove 31 and the second groove 32 are V-shaped grooves. The MOSFET channel is formed within the V-shaped groove, and the current flows within the plane of the V-shaped groove along the path in the V shape.
[0063] S14, such as Figure 7 As shown, an insulating layer 40 is deposited on the surfaces of the first groove 31 and the second groove 32, wherein the insulating layer 40 located at the bottom of the first groove 31 is in contact with the first P+ doping region 21, wherein the insulating layer 40 is deposited on the bottom and sidewalls of the first groove 31, the insulating layer 40 located at the bottom of the first groove 31 is in contact with the first P+ doping region 21, the insulating layer 40 is deposited on the sidewalls of the second groove 32, and the insulating layer 40 is not deposited on the bottom of the second groove 32. Optionally, the insulating layer 40 is a SiO2 insulating layer 40 formed by deposition, and the silicon oxide (SiO2) insulating layer 40 is often used as an insulating layer 40 and forms an insulator.
[0064] S15, such as Figure 8 As shown, in order to form a full vertical MOSFET and a junction barrier diode, an ohmic contact metal 51 and a Schottky contact metal 52 are formed on the surface of the insulating layer 40. The ohmic contact metal 51 is used for ohmic contact, and the Schottky contact metal 52 is used for Schottky contact. The ohmic contact metal 51 is located in the first groove 31, and the Schottky contact metal is located in the second groove 32. Part of the Schottky contact metal 52 located at the bottom of the groove is in contact with the gallium nitride low-doped N-layer 14, the first P+ doped region 21, and the second P+ doped region 22. The gallium nitride N-type active region 16, the gallium nitride P-type substrate 15, the gallium nitride low-doped N-layer 14, the P+ doped region, and the gallium nitride high-doped N+ layer 13 constitute a full vertical MOSFET, and the gallium nitride low-doped N-layer 14, the P+ doped region, and the gallium nitride high-doped N+ layer 13 constitute a junction barrier diode.
[0065] like Figure 1 As shown by the dotted lines, the first P+ doped region 21 and the second P+ doped region 22 respectively cut off the leakage current generated by the full vertical MOSFET and the junction barrier diode, thereby improving the reverse withstand voltage of the diode, providing a larger current capacity and a smaller on-resistance.
[0066] S16, such as Figure 9 As shown, in order to form a fully vertical MOSFET structure, a trench 60 is etched at the bottom of the fully vertical power device. The trench 60 penetrates the substrate 11 and the buffer layer 12 and extends to the gallium nitride highly doped N+ layer 13. By etching away a portion of the substrate 11 and the gallium nitride highly doped N+ layer 13 at the drain 70, the overall resistance can be reduced. In addition, adding a second P+ doped region 22 at the Schottky contact metal 52 can form a JEFT region to shield the Schottky barrier diode when reverse biased.
[0067] S17, such as Figure 10 As shown, a drain electrode is deposited on the surface of the trench 60, and two source electrodes 81 and 82 are deposited on the surface of the gallium nitride N-type active region 16.

[0068] By monolithically integrating a junction barrier diode (JBS) with a fully vertical MOSFET and adding a first P+ doped region 21 and a second P+ doped region 22 for leakage current protection under the MOSFET gate, the JBS's reverse withstand voltage is increased, providing greater current capacity and lower on-resistance. Compared to quasi-vertical power devices, the fully vertical design accommodates more devices per unit area and provides excellent electrical contact and mechanical stability.

[0071] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0072] The insulating layer 40 is disposed in the two grooves respectively. During fabrication, each groove is deposited separately. That is, no insulating layer 40 is disposed in the mesa region of the GaN N-type active region 16 between the first groove 31 and the second groove 32 .
[0073] The ohmic contact metal 51 and the Schottky contact metal 52 can be optionally implemented using corresponding single-layer or multi-layer metal films. For example, a four-layer metal film of Cr / Au / Ni / Au is used to prepare the gallium nitride contact. Optionally, in order to simplify the process, the ohmic contact metal 51 is a double-layer metal film of Cr / Au, and the Schottky contact metal 52 is a double-layer metal film of Ni / Au.
