Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to semiconductor device manufacturing and integrated circuits, and more particularly, to structures including silicon-based devices and III-V compound semiconductor-based devices integrated on a semiconductor substrate, and methods for forming such structures. Background Technology
[0002] High-voltage power electronic devices, such as high electron mobility transistors (HEP transistors), can be fabricated using III-V compound semiconductors to take advantage of their material properties, such as carrier mobility greater than that of silicon and a wider bandgap. III-V compound semiconductors include group III elements (aluminum, gallium, indium) and group V elements combined with group III elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony). A common III-V compound semiconductor used as a base material in device construction is gallium nitride (GaN). High electron mobility transistors can comprise heterojunctions between crystalline III-V compound semiconductor materials with different bandgapes, such as a heterojunction between binary gallium nitride and ternary aluminum gallium nitride. During operation, a two-dimensional electron gas forms near the interface at the heterojunction and defines the channel of the high electron mobility transistor.
[0003] Integrating high electron mobility transistors (such as field-effect transistors or heterojunction bipolar transistors) with silicon-based devices on the same chip has proven challenging. Integration can be achieved through wafer bonding or by using hybrid substrates with portions having different crystal orientations, which inherently introduce significant complexity to the process of integrating high electron mobility transistors with these other types of transistors.

[0018] refer to Figure 1 According to an embodiment of the invention, a substrate 10 is provided having a substrate stack including a device layer 12, a buried insulating layer 14, and a processing substrate 16. The device layer 12 is separated from the processing substrate 16 by an intermediate buried insulating layer 14. The device layer 12 has a top surface 18, which is flat. The buried insulating layer 14 may be composed of a buried oxide (BOX) layer, which is composed of a solid dielectric material layer such as silicon dioxide.

In one embodiment, the single-crystal semiconductor material of device layer 12 may have a diamond lattice structure having a crystal structure specified by Miller indices. <111> Crystal orientation. In one embodiment, substrate 10 may comprise single-crystal silicon having a diamond lattice structure, the diamond lattice structure having <111> Crystal orientation. For those with <111> The device layer 12 is crystal-oriented, with (111) crystal planes parallel to the top surface 18 of the device layer 12, and the crystal direction of
[111] normal to the (111) plane. The (100) crystal axis is not located in the plane of the top surface 18. In one embodiment, the device layer 12 may be composed only of crystal planes with
[111] crystal orientation. <111> It is composed of a single-crystal semiconductor material with crystal orientation (e.g., single-crystal silicon).
[0020] A layer stack 20 is formed on the device layer 12 in device region 22, and a semiconductor layer 28 is formed on the device layer 12 in device region 30. The trench isolation region 32 is formed to cooperate with the buried insulating layer 14 to electrically isolate device region 22 from device region 30.
[0021] The layer stack 20 includes semiconductor layers, such as buffer layer 24 and barrier layer 26, each comprising one or more compound semiconductor layers. Buffer layer 24 and barrier layer 26 can be sequentially deposited using epitaxial growth processes such as metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, vapor phase epitaxy, or molecular beam epitaxy to form the layer stack. Prior to forming the layer stack 20, a thin nucleation layer, such as aluminum nitride, can be formed on device layer 12. Device layer 12 provides a seed for epitaxial growth. In one embodiment, the layer stack 20 can be epitaxially grown simultaneously in device regions 22 and 30 and removed from device region 30 by etching, wherein the layer stack 20 in device region 22 is covered and protected by a dielectric layer.
[0022] Buffer layer 24 and barrier layer 26 may each have a single-crystal crystal structure, or alternatively, a substantially single-crystal crystal structure with varying degrees of crystal defects.

The barrier layer 26 disposed above buffer layer 24 may comprise a ternary III-V compound semiconductor, such as aluminum gallium nitride having 15 to 35 atomic percent aluminum, providing a heterogeneous interface with buffer layer 24 of different compositions. Buffer layer 24 may include an undoped III-V compound semiconductor (e.g., undoped gallium nitride) layer adjacent to barrier layer 26.
[0023] In one embodiment, the semiconductor layer 28 can be formed using a selective epitaxial growth (SEG) process, wherein semiconductor material is nucleated to allow epitaxial growth from the exposed surface of device layer 12. The layer stack 20 in device region 22 can be covered and protected by a dielectric layer, such as a silicon nitride layer, to prevent epitaxial growth. In one embodiment, a portion of device layer 12 in device region 30 can be doped to have n-type conductivity prior to the formation of semiconductor layer 28.
[0024] Semiconductor layer 28 may be made of a single-crystal semiconductor material such as single-crystal silicon and may be in-situ doped with an electroactive dopant such as an n-type dopant (e.g., phosphorus or arsenic) during epitaxial growth. In an alternative embodiment, semiconductor layer 28 may be grown non-selectively and then planarized using chemical mechanical polishing, which includes removal from device region 22.
[0025] A trench isolation region 32, which may be formed at the junction between the layer stack 20 and the semiconductor layer 28, may extend through the device layer 12 and into the buried insulating layer 14. The trench isolation region 32 may contain a dielectric material deposited into an etched trench by chemical vapor deposition and then polished and deglazed. The dielectric material contained in the trench isolation region 32 may include silicon dioxide.
[0026] The layer stack 20 in device region 22 has a top surface 21, and the semiconductor layer 28 in device region 30 has a top surface 27. In one embodiment, the top surface 21 of the layer stack 20 may be coplanar with the top surface 27 of the semiconductor layer 28. In another embodiment, the top surface 21 of the layer stack 20 may be substantially coplanar with the top surface 27 of the semiconductor layer 28. In yet another embodiment, the heights of the top surface 21 of the layer stack 20 and the top surface 27 of the semiconductor layer 28 may differ by approximately 100 nanometers (nm) to approximately 500 nm, which can be considered as constituting substantially coplanarity.
[0027] refer to Figure 2 The same reference numerals indicate Figure 1 The same features as those in the previous step, and in subsequent manufacturing stages, can be used to form device structure 40 in device region 30. In one embodiment, device structure 40 may be a Schottky diode, comprising a doped region 42, a silicide layer 44 providing a Schottky contact with the doped region 42 defining an anode, a doped region 46 defining a cathode, and a doped region 48 providing a guard ring around the doped region 42. Silicide layer 44 can be formed by a silicide process, doped regions 42 and 46 can be formed in semiconductor layer 28 by mask implantation, and doped region 48 can be formed in semiconductor layer 28 by separate mask implantation. Doped region 46 may have the same conductivity type as semiconductor layer 28 and contain a higher dopant concentration than semiconductor layer 28. Doped region 42 is doped to have a conductivity type opposite to that of semiconductor layer 28 to define pn junction 43, and doped region 48 is also doped to have a conductivity type opposite to that of semiconductor layer 28 to define pn junction 47. For example, if semiconductor layer 28 has n-type conductivity, doped regions 42 and 48 may be doped to have p-type conductivity.
[0028] Device structure 38 is formed in device region 22. During the formation of device structure 38, semiconductor layer 28 may be covered and protected by dielectric layer. In one embodiment, device structure 38 may be an enhancement-mode high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). In one embodiment, device structure 38 may include a gate structure 34 located on layer stack 20. Gate structure 34 may include a gate 36 positioned to contact barrier layer 26 and a gate metal layer 37 positioned on and above gate 36. Gate 36 may be made of a doped III-V compound semiconductor, such as magnesium-doped p-type aluminum gallium nitride or p-type gallium nitride, and gate metal layer 37 may be made of one or more metals, such as aluminum-copper, titanium nitride, titanium, etc. In one embodiment, gate 36 may be formed by patterning a doped III-V compound semiconductor layer epitaxially grown on layer stack 20 before or after the formation of semiconductor layer 28.
[0029] In a representative embodiment, the gate 36 is located on a barrier layer 26 at the top surface 21 of the layer stack 20. In an alternative embodiment, the barrier layer 26 may be thinned below the gate 36, wherein an optional insulating layer (e.g., a silicon nitride layer) is applied between the gate 36 and the thinned barrier layer 26. In one embodiment, the device structure 38 can operate in enhancement mode (E-mode) by adjusting a threshold voltage such that the device structure 38 is turned off when the gate 36 is not biased. In one embodiment, the device structure 38 can operate in depletion mode (D-mode) by adjusting a threshold voltage such that the device structure 38 is turned off when a negative voltage is applied to the gate 36. In an alternative embodiment, a mixture of E-mode and D-mode device structures 38 may be integrated in device region 22. In an alternative embodiment, a passive device structure such as a Schottky diode may be integrated into device region 22.
[0030] Subsequently, mid-stage and back-end processes are performed, including forming contacts, vias, and wiring for interconnect structures located above substrate 10 and connected to device structures 38, 40.
[0031] A buried insulating layer 14 electrically isolates device structures 38 and 40 from the processing substrate 16. Regarding the shared electrical isolation, the buried insulating layer 14 is located in the vertical direction between device structure 38 and the processing substrate 16, and also in the vertical direction between device structure 40 and the processing substrate 16. Device structures 38 and 40 are formed on the same device layer 12, wherein a layer stack 20 is formed on device layer 12 in device region 22, and a semiconductor layer 28 is also formed on device layer 12 in device region 30. Utilizing only... <111> The crystal-oriented device layer 12 allows the integration of device structures 38, 40 without complex manufacturing processes (e.g., wafer bonding) or the use of engineered substrates or hybrid substrates (e.g., SOI substrates with one or more crystal orientations for the device layer).
[0032] The monolithic co-integration of device structures 38 and 40 on the same device layer 12 provides both low-cost fabrication and high-performance devices with improved operating parameters. Compared to Schottky diodes formed using III-V compound semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride, the Schottky diode as a co-integrated device structure 40 exhibits low forward voltage drop and low stored charge. The parameter improvements provided by the smaller bandgap of silicon compared to gallium nitride can lead to reduced power consumption and improved reliability during operation.
