Figure 2 (b) Using the MBE process, a β-Ga2O3 UID layer with a thickness of 200 nm to 600 nm and a doping concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁶ nm was grown on the UID layer 2. 17 cm -3 ~5×10 18 cm -3 A lightly doped β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3 is formed.

[0047] S30, a heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4 is spin-coated onto the β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3.

[0048] This invention provides an optional solution; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 (c) A layer with a thickness of 100 nm to 500 nm and a doping concentration of 5 × 10⁻⁶ is uniformly spin-coated onto the β-Ga₂O₃ channel layer 3. 18 cm -3 ~5×1019 cm -3 The heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4. More preferably, a layer with a thickness of 300 nm and a doping concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁶ is uniformly spin-coated onto the β-Ga₂O₃ channel layer 3. 19 cm -3 The heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4. At this time, the heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4 behaves as an N-type heavily doped layer.

A layer with a thickness of 100nm–500nm and a Sn doping concentration of 5×10⁻⁶ was uniformly spin-coated onto the β-Ga₂O₃ channel layer 3. 18 cm -3 ~5×10 19 cm -3 The heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4.

[0050] The SOG dielectric layer 4 is dried by heating the liner.

[0051] S40, Etch away the SOG dielectric layer except for the ohmic region 4.

[0052] This invention provides an optional solution; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 (d) The SOG dielectric layer 4, excluding the ohmic region, is selectively etched using inductively coupled plasma etching (ICP) with an etching depth of 100 nm to 500 nm, i.e., etched up to the upper surface of the β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3.

[0053] S50. A source electrode 6 and a drain electrode 7 are grown on the SOG dielectric layer 4 in the ohmic region.

[0054] This invention provides an optional solution; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 (e) Using an electronic evaporation process, Ti / Au metal stacks with thicknesses of 20 / 200 nm are deposited on the SOG dielectric layer 4 in the ohmic region as the source and drain metals, respectively, to form the source electrode 6 and drain electrode 7. Rapid thermal annealing is then performed to alloy the ohmic metals, completing the fabrication of the source and drain ohmic electrodes.

[0055] Typically, source and drain ohmic electrodes are fabricated via ion implantation. However, ion implantation is a complex, time-consuming, and costly process, and it cannot guarantee the quality of the ohmic contact, resulting in high ohmic contact on-resistance in the fabricated device. To fabricate gallium oxide power transistors with lower ohmic contact on-resistance, this invention proposes a novel process for fabricating source and drain ohmic electrodes. This process, implemented in steps S30-S50, eliminates ion implantation and instead directly grows a heavily doped layer in the ohmic contact region. The inventors discovered that using existing, mature sputtering processes to directly grow a heavily doped layer in the ohmic contact region results in significant interface loss defects, leading to persistently high ohmic contact on-resistance. SOG, being a liquid material, eliminates the need for sputtering growth like other materials. By spin-coating heavily doped SOG, a heavily doped layer can be directly formed in the ohmic contact region. Depositing ohmic metal on this layer creates a good ohmic contact, thereby reducing the device's ohmic contact on-resistance. Experiments have verified that the method of fabricating source and drain ohmic electrodes by spin-coating a heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4 onto the β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3, as described in this embodiment of the invention, reduces the ohmic contact on-resistance by 40% compared to existing methods of fabricating source and drain ohmic electrodes via ion implantation. For example, devices fabricated using conventional ion implantation typically have an ohmic contact on-resistance higher than 15 mΩ·cm. 2 The ohmic contact on-resistance of the device fabricated by the method of this invention can reach 9 mΩ·cm. 2 This allows gallium oxide power transistors to be better applied in the field of power electronics. Furthermore, through research by the inventors, it has been found that the heavily doped layer formed by heavy Sn doping in the SOG dielectric layer 4 can achieve a lower ohmic contact on-resistance. Experimental verification shows that the method of fabricating source and drain ohmic electrodes by spin-coating a heavily Sn-doped SOG dielectric layer 4 onto the β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3, compared to the existing method of fabricating source and drain ohmic electrodes through ion implantation, reduces the ohmic contact on-resistance by 50%, further enabling the application of gallium oxide power transistors in the field of power electronics.

Figure 2 (f) An Al2O3 dielectric layer 5 with a thickness of 10 nm to 30 nm is grown on the β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3, source electrode 6, drain electrode 7 and SOG dielectric layer 4 using the MBE process. More preferably, an Al2O3 dielectric layer 5 with a thickness of 20 nm is grown on the β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3 outside the ohmic region.

[0058] S70. A gate electrode 8 is grown on the Al2O3 dielectric layer 5 outside the ohmic region.

[0059] This invention provides an optional solution; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 (g) A Ni / Au metal stack with a thickness of 45 / 400 nm is deposited on the Al2O3 dielectric layer 5 outside the ohmic region using an electronic evaporation process to form the gate electrode 8.

Figure 2 (h) The Al2O3 dielectric layer 5 with a thickness of 10nm to 30nm on the source electrode 6 and the drain electrode 7 is selectively etched away using the ICP process, that is, selectively etched until the upper surface of the source electrode 6 and the drain electrode 7, exposing the source electrode 6 and the drain electrode 7, so as to facilitate subsequent interconnection.

[0062] S90. Interconnect metal is deposited on the source electrode 6, drain electrode 7, and gate electrode 8.

[0063] This invention provides an optional solution where interconnect metal is deposited on the source electrode 6, drain electrode 7, and gate electrode 8 using an electronic evaporation process, and the source electrode 6, drain electrode 7, and gate electrode 8 are connected via interconnect leads. The interconnect metal and interconnect leads are not illustrated here.

[0064] In summary, the method for fabricating a low-ohmic contact gallium oxide power transistor proposed in this invention presents a novel process for fabricating source and drain ohmic electrodes. Compared to the commonly used ohmic region ion implantation process, this process is simpler, easier to implement, and lower in cost. Crucially, this invention fabricates the source and drain ohmic electrode structure by spin-coating a heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4 onto the β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3 in the ohmic region, and then growing the source electrode 6 and drain electrode 7 on the heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4. Spin-coating the heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4 directly forms a heavily doped layer, and depositing ohmic metal on it can form a good ohmic contact, thereby reducing the ohmic contact on-resistance of the device and solving the problem of high ohmic contact on-resistance in current gallium oxide transistors. Experiments have verified that the source-drain ohmic electrode structure fabricated by spin-coating a heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4 onto the β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3, and then designing source electrodes 6 and drain electrodes 7 on the heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4, reduces the ohmic contact on-resistance by 40% compared to existing methods using ion implantation. This allows gallium oxide power transistors to be better applied in the power electronics field. Furthermore, the inventors' research has shown that the heavily doped layer formed by heavy Sn doping in the SOG dielectric layer 4 can achieve even lower ohmic contact on-resistance. Experiments have verified that the source-drain ohmic electrode structure fabricated by spin-coating a heavily Sn doped SOG dielectric layer 4 onto the β-Ga2O3 channel layer 3, and then designing source electrodes 6 and drain electrodes 7 on the heavily doped SOG dielectric layer 4, reduces the ohmic contact on-resistance by 50% compared to existing methods using ion implantation. This further allows gallium oxide power transistors to be applied in the power electronics field.

This allows gallium oxide power transistors to be further applied in the field of power electronics.
