[0073] Traditional gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs) are known for their ultra-high electron mobility, but in their applications, if the gate voltage changes too quickly (dv / dt), they will be subject to electromagnetic interference (EMI), leading to increased switching losses in the device.
[0074] P-gate HEMT devices are currently the most mainstream HEMT structure, but their large gate leakage current has limited their application in the power device market.
[0075] A common method to control the rate of change of the gate voltage is to increase the gate resistance, but this cannot be adjusted during operation.
[0076] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention proposes a novel low-power HEMT that controls the rate of change of gate voltage while reducing gate leakage current.
[0077] 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.
[0078] Figure 1 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a low-power HEMT provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a low-power HEMT including at least one transistor unit, the at least one transistor unit comprising:
[0079] Gate 22;
[0080] Source 4;
[0081] Drain 3;
[0082] The first P-type gallium nitride region 51 adjacent to source 4;
[0083] A first N-type gallium nitride region 61 is disposed between a first P-type gallium nitride region 51 and a gate 22;
[0084] The second N-type gallium nitride region 62 adjacent to drain 3;
[0085] A second P-type gallium nitride region 52 is disposed between the second N-type gallium nitride region 62 and the gate 22.
[0086] Specifically, the gate 22 can be formed by deposition, and its thickness is between 5 nanometers (nm) and 100 nanometers, particularly between 10 nanometers and 50 nanometers. The gate 22 can comprise a metal, a metal alloy, a metal nitride, or a metal carbide. The metal can be titanium (Ti), molybdenum (Mo), or tantalum (Ta). The metal alloy can be TiAl or TiW. The metal nitride can be titanium nitride (TiN), tantalum nitride (TaN), tungsten nitride (WN), or molybdenum nitride (MoN). The carbide can be titanium carbide (TiC).
[0087] In some embodiments, the first P-type gallium nitride region 51, the first N-type gallium nitride region 61, and the gate 22 constitute a normally open P-channel.
[0088] In some embodiments, the second N-type gallium nitride region 62, the second P-type gallium nitride region 52, and the gate 22 constitute a normally off N-channel junction field-effect transistor.
[0089] In some embodiments, the doping concentration of the junction field-effect transistor is greater than 0.5E13cm. -3And less than 7.5E13cm -3 .
[0090] In some embodiments, the first p-type gallium nitride region 51 has a thickness between 5 nanometers and 100 nanometers, particularly between 10 nanometers and 50 nanometers;
[0091] The second N-type gallium nitride region 62 has a thickness between 5 nanometers and 100 nanometers, and particularly between 10 nanometers and 50 nanometers;
[0092] The first N-type gallium nitride region 61 has a thickness between 7 nanometers and 100 nanometers, and particularly between 12 nanometers and 50 nanometers;
[0093] The second P-type gallium nitride region 52 has a thickness between 7 nanometers and 100 nanometers, and particularly between 12 nanometers and 50 nanometers.
[0094] In some embodiments, the at least one transistor unit further includes:
[0095] Substrate 14;
[0096] nucleation7;
[0097] Buffer layer 9;
[0098] Barrier layer 20;
[0099] Nucleation 7 is arranged between substrate 14 and buffer layer 9;
[0100] Buffer layer 9 is arranged between nucleation layer 7 and barrier layer 20;
[0101] The barrier layer 20 is disposed between the buffer layer 9 and the first passivation layer 81.
[0102] Specifically, nucleation layer 7 may include aluminum nitride (AlN), buffer layer 9 may include gallium nitride (GaN), and barrier layer 20 may include aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN).
[0103] The turn-on process of the low-power HEMT provided in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: A positive bias voltage is applied to the gate. After the gate bias reaches its turn-off voltage, the D-type junction field-effect transistor (JFET) is completely turned off. After the gate bias reaches the threshold voltage, the E-type JFET is turned on. Its N-region and P-type GaN (this P-type GaN is P-type GaN in contact with AlGaN) form a depletion region until the P-type GaN is depleted to the recovery of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), and the low-power HEMT is turned on. The turn-off voltage of the D-type JFET is less than the turn-on voltage of the E-type JFET.
[0104] The turn-off process of the low-power HEMT provided in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: the gate voltage is zero, the E-type JFET is gradually turned off, the D-type JFET is gradually turned on, the P-type GaN potential is connected to the zero point of the source, and the low-power HEMT is turned off.
[0105] The low-power HEMT provided in this invention can control the gate's on-resistance and off-resistance by controlling the gate voltage. During operation, it can effectively control the switching rate, reduce device switching losses by reducing electromagnetic interference, and improve the threshold voltage.
[0106] The low-power HEMT provided in this invention eliminates the Schottky junction between the gate and P-type GaN in the traditional P-type gate structure, thereby significantly reducing the gate leakage current, increasing the gate withstand voltage, and improving the saturation current.
[0107] The low-power HEMT provided in this invention can achieve optimal loss reduction by controlling the changes in parameters such as the structural size, position, and doping concentration of D-type JFETs and E-type JFETs.
