AI Technical Summary
Existing hydrogen-terminated diamond field-effect transistors suffer from low carrier mobility due to the high interface state density and low dielectric mass between the hydrogen terminal and alumina, which limits their DC and RF performance, and their fabrication process is complex.
Using metal oxide terminals instead of hydrogen terminals, metal oxide-terminated diamond field-effect transistors are formed by depositing metal oxides on a diamond substrate and matching them with the gate dielectric layer. This includes photolithographically lithographically forming source and drain regions and mesa regions on the surface of the diamond substrate, depositing ohmic contact metals or metal oxides, performing annealing to form the source, drain, and metal oxide terminals, and then depositing the gate dielectric and gate.
It improves carrier mobility, enhances the DC and RF performance of transistors, simplifies the fabrication process, and avoids photoresist contamination and high-energy plasma processing.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular relates to a metal oxide-terminated diamond field-effect transistor and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] Diamond possesses advantages such as wide bandgap, high carrier mobility, high carrier saturation drift velocity, low dielectric constant, radiation resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it the "ultimate semiconductor" material for realizing high-frequency power devices. Currently, diamond field-effect transistors are mainly based on hydrogen-terminated diamond, where a layer of carbon atoms on the diamond surface is connected to a layer of hydrogen atoms, forming a negative electron affinity system. Electrons on the diamond surface are transferred to the adsorption layer, generating a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) near the surface, thus forming hydrogen termination.
[0003] However, hydrogen-terminated diamond field-effect transistors typically use alumina (Al2O3) as the gate dielectric. The high interface state density between the hydrogen terminal and alumina, as well as the low dielectric mass of alumina, result in low carrier mobility in hydrogen-terminated diamond, which in turn limits the DC and RF performance of diamond field-effect transistors. At the same time, since the carbon-hydrogen bonds are located on the outermost layer of diamond, it is necessary to avoid photoresist contamination, high-energy plasma, or dielectric deposition processes in oxygen-containing atmospheres during device fabrication, making the fabrication process complex.

[0012] In conjunction with the second aspect, some possible implementations include, before photolithographically lithographically forming the source and drain regions on the upper surface of the diamond substrate, cleaning the diamond substrate and forming a carbon-hydrogen bond layer on the upper surface of the diamond substrate using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition.
[0013] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some possible implementations, after the sample undergoes a second annealing treatment, the unreacted metal or metal oxide in the mesa region is removed by wet etching and / or dry etching.

[0034] The following combination Figure 1 The method for fabricating metal oxide-terminated diamond field-effect transistors according to embodiments of this application will be described in detail.
[0035] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for fabricating a metal oxide-terminated diamond field-effect transistor according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram corresponding to the fabrication method of a metal-oxide-semiconductor-terminated diamond field-effect transistor provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 The method is described in detail below:
[0036] Step 101: Photolithographically etch source and drain regions on the upper surface of the diamond substrate, deposit ohmic contact metal in the source and drain regions, and perform a first annealing treatment on the sample to allow the ohmic contact metal to react with the upper surface of the diamond substrate in the corresponding region to form the source and drain.
[0037] Among them, see Figure 3 In (a)-(b), the source and drain regions are located on both sides of the upper surface of the diamond substrate 1. Correspondingly, the formed source 2 and drain 3 are located on both sides of the upper surface of the diamond substrate 1. The ohmic contact metal reacts with the upper surface of the diamond substrate 1 in contact with it to form the source 2 and drain 3.
[0038] For example, in the first annealing treatment, the annealing temperature is 400–1000°C, and the annealing condition is a hydrogen atmosphere. The ohmic contact metal can be Ti / Au, Ti / Pt / Au, TiW / Au, TiW / Pt / Au, Pd / Au, Cr / Au, etc.
[0039] In one possible implementation, source / drain regions are photolithographically etched on the upper surface of a diamond substrate, and ohmic contact metal is deposited in the source / drain regions. Specifically, this may include:
[0040] Photoresist is coated on the surface of a diamond substrate, excluding the source / drain regions; ohmic contact metal is deposited in the source / drain regions; and the photoresist is removed.
[0041] Step 102: Photolithographically etch a mesa region on the upper surface of the diamond substrate, deposit metal or metal oxide in the mesa region, and perform a second annealing treatment on the sample to allow the metal or metal oxide to react with the upper surface of the diamond substrate in the corresponding region to form a metal oxide terminal.
[0042] Among them, see Figure 3 In (c)-(d), the mesa region is located between source 2 and drain 3.
[0043] For example, in the second annealing process, the annealing temperature is 400 to 1000°C, and the annealing conditions are oxygen, ozone, a mixture of oxygen and ozone, a mixture of oxygen, argon, and nitrogen, or a mixture of ozone, argon, and nitrogen atmosphere.
[0044] For example, when depositing metal in the mesa region, the metal can be titanium, aluminum, copper, nickel, or zinc, etc., and the metal deposition method can be thermal evaporation, electron beam evaporation, atomic layer deposition, magnetron sputtering, etc. When depositing metal oxide in the mesa region, the metal oxide can be titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, copper oxide, nickel oxide, or zinc oxide, etc., and the metal oxide deposition method can be atomic layer deposition, thermal evaporation, magnetron sputtering, metal self-oxidation, etc. The thickness of the deposited metal or metal oxide 4 is 0.1–2 nm.
[0045] For example, the metal or metal oxide 4 deposited in the mesa region reacts with the upper surface of the diamond substrate 1 in the corresponding region below during the second annealing process, i.e., alloying, to form a layer of two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) on the upper surface of the diamond substrate 1, which is to form a metal oxide terminal 5. The metal oxide terminal 5 formed on the upper surface of the diamond substrate 1 provides a metal oxide terminal diamond as a conductive channel.
[0046] Lattice matching between the metal oxide terminal and the gate dielectric can effectively reduce the interface trap density, i.e., reduce the interface state density, while ensuring the high quality of the gate dielectric deposited on the surface of the metal oxide terminal. This, in turn, enables the metal oxide terminal diamond transistor to have high carrier mobility, and gives the metal oxide terminal diamond field-effect transistor good DC and RF performance, as well as good temperature stability.
[0047] In one possible implementation, a mesa region is photolithographically patterned on the upper surface of the diamond substrate, and metal or metal oxide is deposited in the mesa region. Specifically, this may include:
[0048] Photoresist is coated on the surface of a diamond substrate, excluding the mesa region; metal or metal oxide is deposited in the mesa region; and the photoresist is removed.
[0049] Step 103: Deposit a gate dielectric on the upper surface of the metal oxide terminal to form a gate dielectric layer.
[0050] Among them, see Figure 3 In (e), the gate dielectric is silicon oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, copper oxide, nickel oxide, or zinc oxide, etc. The gate dielectric layer 6 is a single dielectric layer or multiple dielectric layers, and the thickness of the gate dielectric layer 6 is 1–500 nm.
[0051] Step 104: Photolithographically etch a gate on the upper surface of the gate dielectric layer and deposit gate metal, then strip the gate metal to form the gate electrode.
[0052] In one possible implementation, step 104 may specifically include:
[0053] Photoresist is coated on the upper surface of the gate dielectric layer, the upper surface of the source electrode, and the upper surface of the drain electrode; a gate metal window is made on the photoresist on the upper surface of the gate dielectric layer by photolithography; the gate is formed by deposition and stripping of the gate metal; and the photoresist is removed.
[0054] Among them, see Figure 3 In (f), the gate metal can be Al / Au, etc. The morphology of the gate 7 is one or more combinations of straight gate, T-type gate, TT-type gate, U-type gate, and Y-type gate.
[0055] In one possible implementation, before photolithographically lithographically forming the source / drain region on the upper surface of the diamond substrate, the process includes: cleaning the diamond substrate; and forming a carbon-hydrogen bond layer on the upper surface of the diamond substrate using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition.
[0056] For example, a carbon-hydrogen bond layer is formed on the upper surface of the diamond substrate 1 to make it easier for metal oxide terminals 5 to form on the upper surface of the diamond substrate 1 in the corresponding region where the metal or metal oxide 4 reacts with the corresponding region.
[0057] In one possible implementation, after the sample undergoes a second annealing treatment, the unreacted metal or metal oxide in the mesa region is removed by wet etching and / or dry etching.
[0058] The aforementioned method for fabricating metal-oxide-terminated diamond field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) involves forming metal-oxide terminals in the mesa region on the upper surface of a diamond substrate. These metal-oxide-terminated diamonds serve as conductive channels. Due to the lattice matching between the metal-oxide terminals and the gate dielectric, the interface trap density (i.e., the interface state density) is effectively reduced. Simultaneously, the high quality of the gate dielectric deposited on the upper surface of the metal-oxide terminals is ensured, resulting in high carrier mobility in the metal-oxide-terminated diamond. Consequently, the MOSFET exhibits excellent DC and RF performance, as well as good temperature stability. Furthermore, the method uses metal-oxide terminals instead of hydrogen terminals, eliminating the need for photoresist contamination, high-energy plasma, or oxygen-containing atmosphere dielectric deposition processes, simplifying the fabrication process.
[0059] A simple example is the fabrication steps of the metal oxide-terminated diamond field-effect transistor based on the alumina-terminated diamond field-effect transistor described in this application:
[0060] (1) Clean the single crystal diamond substrate and place the cleaned diamond substrate in a hydrogen plasma atmosphere at 750°C. Then, use microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition to treat the surface of the diamond substrate for 10 minutes to form a carbon-hydrogen bond layer.
[0061] (2) Photolithographically etch source and drain regions on the upper surface of the diamond substrate. The source and drain regions are located on both sides of the upper surface of the diamond substrate. Ohmic contact metal Ti / Pt / Au is deposited in the source and drain regions. The sample is then annealed at 700°C in a hydrogen atmosphere for 30 minutes. The alloy forms the source and drain.
[0062] (3) A mesa region was photolithographically patterned on the surface of a diamond substrate, located between the source and drain electrodes. A 1 nm thick layer of metallic aluminum was deposited in the mesa region by electron beam evaporation. The sample was then annealed at 500 °C in an ozone atmosphere for 2 hours to form an alumina terminal. Unreacted metallic aluminum and its oxides in the mesa region were removed by hydrofluoric acid wet etching.
[0063] (4) The sample was placed in an environment of 400°C and an alumina gate dielectric with a thickness of 50 nm was deposited on the surface of the alumina terminal by atomic layer deposition to form a gate dielectric layer.
[0064] (5) Photolithographically etch a gate on the upper surface of the gate dielectric layer, deposit and strip the gate metal Al / Au to form a T-type gate.

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 this application.
