Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chip manufacturing technology, specifically to an epitaxial structure of a GaN-based high-voltage HEMT device based on a Si substrate and its manufacturing method. Background Technology
[0002] Semiconductor discrete device and integrated circuit manufacturing processes require epitaxial growth technology. Because semiconductors contain N-type and P-type impurities, different combinations of these impurities enable semiconductor devices and integrated circuits to have a wide variety of functions. Epitaxial growth technology can easily achieve this. For silicon epitaxial growth, chemical vapor deposition is currently widely used internationally to meet the requirements of crystal integrity, device structure diversification, mass production, purity, and uniformity. The equipment is controllable and simple, and GaN-based materials have stable physicochemical properties, are corrosion-resistant, and radiation-resistant. Devices fabricated from GaN have high stability and are suitable for working in complex environments. Therefore, GaN-based devices have broad application prospects.
[0003] However, during the epitaxial formation of GaN-based devices, TSD dislocations in the substrate and defects such as scratches carried by the substrate itself can negatively affect the reverse characteristics of PN junction diodes and Schottky diodes. This causes substrate defects to be replicated during growth, making it difficult to buffer and eliminate them, which increases the reverse leakage current of the diode and increases the energy consumption of the device. Summary of the Invention

This effectively solves the problem that in the epitaxial formation of GaN-based devices, defects such as TSD dislocations in the substrate and scratches inherent in the substrate can negatively impact the reverse characteristics of PN junction diodes and Schottky diodes. These defects are replicated during the growth process, making buffering and elimination difficult, leading to increased reverse leakage current and higher device power consumption.
