Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor power devices, specifically to a common-gate, common-source multichannel gallium nitride (HEMT) device and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] AlGaN / GaN heterojunction field-effect transistors (HFETs), also known as high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) or two-dimensional electron gas field-effect transistors (2-DEGFETs), are depletion-mode (normally on) devices due to the presence of a two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG). During operation, the concentration and mobility of the 2-DEG are modulated by an applied bias voltage; different bias voltages result in different operating states. The gate-source bias voltage Vgs controls the device's on / off state, while the drain-source voltage Vds creates a transverse electric field, causing the 2-DEG to transport along the channel, forming the source-drain current Ids.

[0003] Gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor devices have attracted widespread attention in high-voltage applications due to their wide bandwidth and high breakdown field. GaN devices capable of achieving high withstand voltages above 3kV are depletion-mode (D-mode) HEMTs, which have high on-resistance R0. ON Furthermore, normally-on depletion-mode devices present numerous problems in practical applications. Because the device is always on, a negative voltage needs to be applied to keep it off, which leads to additional power consumption during periods when the device is not in use, resulting in energy waste. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a common-gate, common-source multichannel gallium nitride HEMT device and a manufacturing method thereof, which employs a D-mode multichannel GaN / AlGaN heterojunction structure to effectively reduce the on-resistance R. ON And it is controlled by E-mode gate control.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A common-gate common-source multichannel gallium nitride HEMT device includes: a substrate, a buffer layer, a first heterojunction structure, a second heterojunction structure, a first electrode, a metal connection portion, a second electrode, and a gate electrode.

[0007] The buffer layer is located on one side of the substrate. The first heterojunction structure and the second heterojunction structure are located on the side of the buffer layer away from the substrate. The first heterojunction structure includes at least one AlGaN / GaN heterojunction, and the second heterojunction structure includes multiple AlGaN / GaN heterojunctions stacked along a first direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the substrate.

[0008] The first electrode is connected to one end of the first heterojunction structure; the metal connection portion is connected to the other end of the first heterojunction structure and to one end of the second heterojunction structure; the second electrode is connected to the other end of the second heterojunction structure; the gate electrode is located on the side of the first heterojunction structure away from the substrate.

[0009] Due to the thinness of the two-dimensional electron gas conductive channels, AlGaN / GaN heterostructures typically exhibit high series resistance. Therefore, a multi-channel structure is employed, with multiple AlGaN / GaN heterojunctions vertically stacked to form multiple parallel two-dimensional electron gas conductive channels, thereby reducing the series resistance.

[0010] Furthermore, a first P-type doped GaN layer is provided between the gate electrode and the first heterojunction structure.

[0011] Furthermore, a second P-type doped GaN layer is provided on the side of the second heterojunction structure away from the substrate.

[0012] Furthermore, the projection of the first heterojunction structure onto the substrate does not overlap with the projection of the second heterojunction structure onto the substrate.

[0013] This invention combines enhancement-mode HEMT devices and depletion-mode HEMT devices, enabling the depletion-mode HEMT device to possess the normally-off performance of the enhancement-mode HEMT device while also providing a simplified gate drive. Simultaneously, it allows the low-voltage enhancement-mode HEMT device to operate under high voltage; when the device is off, the high voltage primarily drops across the depletion-mode HEMT device. Furthermore, by using series-connected enhancement-mode HEMT devices, the device is kept off at zero bias, effectively improving the reliability of the enhancement-mode HEMT device.

[0014] Furthermore, the side of the first heterojunction structure away from the substrate also includes an AlGaN doped layer, the projection of the AlGaN doped layer on the substrate not overlapping the projection of the gate electrode on the substrate; the side of the AlGaN doped layer away from the substrate includes a third electrode.

[0015] Furthermore, the AlGaN doped layer includes a P-type doped region and an N-type doped region; the P-type doped region is connected to the third electrode, and the N-type doped region is connected to the metal connection portion.

[0016] Furthermore, the first electrode is electrically connected to the third electrode. The breakdown voltage of the P-GaN gate region is improved by employing a junction field plate in the gate region.

[0017] Meanwhile, this invention also discloses a method for manufacturing a common-gate, common-source multichannel gallium nitride HEMT device, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Provide substrates.

[0022] A P-type doped GaN layer is epitaxially grown on the side of the AlGaN / GaN heterojunction structure away from the substrate.

[0023] Selective etching is performed on the P-type doped GaN layer to form a first P-type doped GaN layer and a second P-type doped GaN layer. The first P-type doped GaN layer is located on the side of the first heterojunction structure away from the substrate, and the second P-type doped GaN layer is located on the side of the second heterojunction structure away from the substrate.

[0024] A first electrode, a second electrode, a metal connection portion, and a gate electrode are deposited, wherein the first electrode is connected to one end of the first heterojunction structure, the metal connection portion is connected to the other end of the first heterojunction structure and to one end of the second heterojunction structure, the second electrode is connected to the other end of the second heterojunction structure, and the gate electrode is located on the side of the first P-type doped GaN layer away from the substrate.

[0025] Furthermore, prior to the step of depositing the first electrode, the second electrode, the metal connection portion, and the gate electrode, the following step is also included:

[0026] A P-type doped AlGaN layer is selectively epitaxially grown on the side of the first heterojunction structure away from the substrate, wherein the projection of the P-type doped AlGaN layer on the substrate does not overlap with the projection of the first P-type doped GaN layer on the substrate.

[0027] Selective ion implantation is performed on the P-type doped AlGaN layer to obtain an N-type doped region, which is located on the side of the P-type doped AlGaN layer away from the gate electrode.

[0028] Furthermore, the step of depositing the first electrode, the second electrode, the metal connection portion, and the gate electrode further includes:

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" or "several" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0039] The term "and / or" in this invention is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, B existing alone, and A and B existing simultaneously. Clearly, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention.

[0040] Typically, AlGaN has a bandgap of 3.95 Ev, while GaN has a bandgap of 3.4 Ev. Due to the difference in bandgap between AlGaN and GaN, a heterojunction is formed at the interface between these two materials. At the heterojunction interface, the Fermi level of the semiconductor materials changes abruptly, causing electrons to transfer from AlGaN to GaN. This electron transfer alters the electric field at the heterojunction interface. AlGaN loses electrons, forming a depletion layer that hinders the movement of electrons farther from the heterojunction. GaN, with its lower electron potential energy, binds electrons and drives out holes, forming a potential well region with free electrons on the GaN semiconductor side of the heterojunction interface. As free electrons accumulate in the potential well, a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is formed. Constrained by the semiconductors on both sides, the 2DEG can only move in a direction parallel to the heterojunction interface. Since the 2DEG detaches from the AlGaN that provides it and enters GaN, it is no longer controlled by ionized impurity scattering, thus exhibiting a very high electron mobility. Two-dimensional electron gas with high electron mobility can move at high speed on the heterojunction surface to form a conductive channel. Therefore, such gallium nitride power devices are also called gallium nitride HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor).

[0041] This invention provides a common-gate, common-source multichannel gallium nitride HEMT device 100. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a common-gate, common-source, multi-channel gallium nitride (HEMT) device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a substrate 101, a buffer layer 102, a heterojunction structure layer 103, and a metal electrode layer 104. The heterojunction structure layer 103 includes a first heterojunction structure 1031 and a second heterojunction structure 1032, and the metal electrode layer 104 includes a first electrode 1041, a metal connection portion 1042, a second electrode 1043, and a gate electrode 1044.

[0042] The buffer layer 102 is located on one side of the substrate 101. The first heterojunction structure 1031 and the second heterojunction structure 1032 are located on the side of the buffer layer 102 away from the substrate 101. The first heterojunction structure 1031 includes at least one AlGaN / GaN heterojunction, and the second heterojunction structure 1032 includes a plurality of AlGaN / GaN heterojunctions stacked along a first direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the substrate 101.

[0043] The first electrode 1041 is connected to one end of the first heterojunction structure 1031; the metal connection portion 1042 is connected to the other end of the first heterojunction structure 1031 and to one end of the second heterojunction structure 1032; the second electrode 1043 is connected to the other end of the second heterojunction structure 1032; the gate electrode 1044 is located on the side of the first heterojunction structure 1031 away from the substrate 101.

[0044] Due to the thinness of the two-dimensional electron gas conductive channels, AlGaN / GaN heterostructures typically exhibit high series resistance. Therefore, a multi-channel structure is employed, with multiple AlGaN / GaN heterojunctions vertically stacked to form multiple parallel two-dimensional electron gas conductive channels, thereby reducing the series resistance.

[0045] Furthermore, a first P-type doped GaN layer 1051 is provided between the gate electrode 1044 and the first heterojunction structure 1031. The first P-type doped GaN layer 1051 can raise the barrier height of the AlGaN layer above the Fermi level, depleting the two-dimensional electron gas originally located in the triangular potential well, thereby achieving enhancement mode. When a positive voltage is applied to the gate electrode 1044, the channel potential gradually decreases. When it drops below the Fermi level, the channel gradually opens, the device gradually conducts, and the source-drain current gradually increases. That is, in the region where the first heterojunction structure 1031 is located, the switching on and off of the device can be controlled by controlling the voltage on the gate electrode, which is equivalent to an enhancement-mode (E-mode) HEMT device.

[0046] Furthermore, a second P-type doped GaN layer 1052 is provided on the side of the second heterojunction structure 1032 away from the substrate 101. One end of the second P-type doped GaN layer 1052 is in contact with the second electrode 1043, which can uniformly shape the electric field in the drain region and improve the breakdown voltage of the drain region.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the first P-type doped GaN layer 1051 and the second P-type doped GaN layer 1052 are made of the same material and are prepared by the same process step.

[0048] The region where the second heterojunction structure 1032 is located corresponds to a depletion-mode (D-mode) HEMT device. In this invention, by combining an enhancement-mode HEMT device and a depletion-mode HEMT device, the depletion-mode HEMT device possesses the normally-off performance of an enhancement-mode HEMT device, while also having a simplified gate drive. Simultaneously, it allows a low-voltage enhancement-mode HEMT device to operate under high voltage; when the device is off, the high voltage primarily drops across the depletion-mode HEMT device. Furthermore, by using series-connected enhancement-mode HEMT devices, the device is in a zero-bias off state, effectively improving the reliability of the enhancement-mode HEMT device.

[0049] Furthermore, the projection of the first heterojunction structure 1031 on the substrate 101 does not overlap with the projection of the second heterojunction structure 1032 on the substrate 101.

[0050] Furthermore, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a common-gate, common-source multichannel gallium nitride HEMT device is provided for another embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the side of the first heterojunction structure 1031 away from the substrate 101 further includes an AlGaN doped layer 106, the projection of the AlGaN doped layer 106 on the substrate 101 does not overlap with the projection of the gate electrode 1044 on the substrate 101; the side of the AlGaN doped layer 106 away from the substrate 101 includes a third electrode 1045.

[0051] Furthermore, the AlGaN doped layer 106 includes a P-type doped region and an N-type doped region; the P-type doped region is connected to the third electrode 1045, and the N-type doped region is connected to the metal connection portion 1042.

[0052] Furthermore, Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a common-gate, common-source, multi-channel gallium nitride (HEMT) device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the first electrode 1041 is electrically connected to the third electrode 1045, and the breakdown voltage of the P-GaN gate region is improved by using a junction field plate in the gate region.

[0053] The following describes the conduction method of a common-gate common-source multichannel gallium nitride HEMT device provided by the present invention.

[0054] When a positive voltage is applied to the second electrode 1043 and the gate electrode 1044, electrons accumulate at the lower end of the gate electrode 1044, and the device is in the turn-on state. When a positive voltage is applied to the second electrode 1043 and the gate electrode 1044 is in the zero-bias state, the device is in the turn-off state. The reverse voltage is jointly borne by the multi-channel high-voltage depletion-mode HEMT structure and the heterojunction field plate, protecting the gate from the influence of the high electric field.

[0055] Understandably, in the structural design of semiconductor devices, design parameters such as the length, width, height, and doping concentration can be controlled to improve the performance of semiconductor devices.

[0056] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps of a common-gate, common-source multichannel gallium nitride (HEMT) device fabrication method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4As shown, the present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a common-gate, common-source multichannel gallium nitride (HEMT) device, comprising the following steps:

Optionally, the first heterojunction structure 1031 may include only one AlGaN / GaN heterojunction.

[0061] A P-type doped GaN layer 105 is epitaxially formed on the side of the AlGaN / GaN heterojunction structure away from the substrate 101.

[0062] Selective etching is performed on the P-type doped GaN layer 105 to form a first P-type doped GaN layer 1051 and a second P-type doped GaN layer 1052. The first P-type doped GaN layer 1051 is located on the side of the first heterojunction structure 1031 away from the substrate 101, and the second P-type doped GaN layer 1052 is located on the side of the second heterojunction structure 1032 away from the substrate 101.

[0063] A first electrode 1041, a second electrode 1043, a metal connection portion 1042, and a gate electrode 1044 are deposited. The first electrode 1041 is connected to one end of the first heterojunction structure 1031, the metal connection portion 1042 is connected to the other end of the first heterojunction structure 1031 and to one end of the second heterojunction structure 1032, the second electrode 1043 is connected to the other end of the second heterojunction structure 1043, and the gate electrode 1044 is located on the side of the first P-type doped GaN layer 1051 away from the substrate 101.

[0064] This invention combines enhancement-mode HEMT devices and depletion-mode HEMT devices, enabling the depletion-mode HEMT device to possess the normally-off performance of the enhancement-mode HEMT device while also providing a simplified gate drive. Simultaneously, it allows the low-voltage enhancement-mode HEMT device to operate under high voltage; when the device is off, the high voltage primarily drops across the depletion-mode HEMT device. Furthermore, by using series-connected enhancement-mode HEMT devices, the device is kept off at zero bias, effectively improving the reliability of the enhancement-mode HEMT device.

[0065] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the steps of a common-gate, common-source multichannel gallium nitride (GaN) HEMT device fabrication method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Further, as... Figure 5 As shown, prior to the step of depositing the first electrode 1041, the second electrode 1043, the metal connection portion 1042, and the gate electrode 1044, the following step is further included:

[0066] A P-type doped AlGaN layer 1061 is selectively epitaxially grown on the side of the first heterojunction structure 1031 away from the substrate 101, and the projection of the P-type doped AlGaN layer 1061 on the substrate 101 does not overlap with the projection of the first P-type doped GaN layer 1061 on the substrate 101.

By employing a junction field plate in the gate region, the breakdown voltage of the P-GaN gate region is improved.
