Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor device fabrication technology, specifically relating to a method for fabricating a GaN-based HEMT low-resistivity gold-free ohmic contact electrode. Background Technology
[0002] Third-generation semiconductors, represented by gallium nitride (GaN), possess characteristics such as large bandgap, high breakdown field strength, and high mobility, leading to rapid development in high-power, high-frequency microwave, and optoelectronic fields, becoming a new research hotspot. With breakthroughs in GaN-based epitaxial technology, various GaN-based electronic devices have also begun to be researched and developed. Due to the spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization effects of group III nitride materials, a high-density, high-electron-mobility two-dimensional electron gas is formed in undoped AlGaN / GaN heterojunctions. The high conductivity of the two-dimensional electron gas channel and the high breakdown voltage of GaN materials make GaN-based HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor) devices an important research direction for high-frequency, high-power devices. With the continuous development of 5G / 6G wireless communication technology, the demand for high-frequency performance of HEMTs in solid-state microwave RF devices used in base stations is becoming increasingly urgent, making it crucial to improve the high-frequency characteristics of these devices. In the fabrication of AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices, the source and drain metals need to form ohmic contacts with the two-dimensional electron gas in the AlGaN / GaN heterojunction. For GaN-based HEMT devices, reducing the ohmic contact resistance is one of the important ways to effectively improve the high-frequency characteristics of GaN-based HEMTs. In order to achieve both high two-dimensional electron gas and low scattering effect, both AlGaN and GaN must be undoped materials. However, AlGaN has a larger bandgap than GaN, making it more difficult to form ohmic contacts between the metal and the two-dimensional electron gas. Therefore, how to reduce the ohmic contact resistance of GaN-based HEMTs has become a widely studied topic in the industry.
[0003] Common methods for fabricating ohmic contacts in the industry include high-temperature alloying and selective regrowth (SGR) techniques. High-temperature alloying typically involves stacking four metal layers (Ti / Al / Ni / Au) on an AlGaN surface and then rapidly annealing them at 800–1000°C in a nitrogen atmosphere to form the ohmic contact. This method uses high annealing temperatures, which negatively impacts the surface morphology of the metal electrodes. Higher temperatures result in rougher surfaces, leading to uneven electric field distribution and affecting high-frequency characteristics. Furthermore, its ability to reduce ohmic contact resistance is limited; additionally, gold-doped ohmic contacts pose a risk of gold contamination. Selective regrowth (SGR) techniques first use dry etching to create the source / drain regrowth region pattern, and then use MOCVD or MBE to regrow a silicon-doped region with a silicon concentration of 10%. 20 cm -3The process involves first creating n+GaN, then covering it with Ti / Pt / Au electrodes to reduce ohmic contact resistance. While this method effectively reduces the contact resistance between the ohmic metal and the n+GaN semiconductor, it also introduces resistance at the interface between n+GaN and the two-dimensional electron gas (2D electron gas). Furthermore, MOCVD secondary epitaxial growth is typically performed at temperatures above 900°C, leading to barrier layer degradation and increased sheet resistance. MBE growth is slow, inefficient, and expensive. Therefore, this method presents complex manufacturing processes, significant technical bottlenecks, and high production costs. Currently, some researchers are using etching to reduce the distance between the ohmic contact and the 2D electron gas, even allowing the metal to directly contact the 2D electron gas, thereby reducing ohmic contact resistance. Literature reports that etching to a distance of 1–2 nm from the 2D electron gas channel is optimal; however, conventional dry etching precision is difficult to control, resulting in poor repeatability. Once etching below the 2D electron gas level, the 2D electron gas in the source / drain region is interrupted, and the ohmic contact resistance actually increases. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a method for fabricating a GaN-based HEMT low-resistance gold-free ohmic contact electrode, thereby reducing process difficulty, decreasing ohmic contact resistance, and improving device performance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A method for fabricating a GaN-based HEMT low-resistivity gold-free ohmic contact electrode includes the following steps:
[0007] S1. Prepare a nano-pattern master for the ohmic contact area, and use hot embossing to copy the master pattern onto a soft polymer film to obtain an intermediate soft template;
[0008] S2. A layer of nanoimprint adhesive is uniformly coated on the surface of the GaN-based wafer barrier layer;
[0009] S3. Place the intermediate soft template on the surface of the nanoimprint adhesive and use nanoimprint technology to transfer the nano-pattern onto the nanoimprint adhesive.
[0010] S4. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching technology is used to remove the residual nanoimprint adhesive at the bottom of the nanopattern, exposing the barrier layer;
[0011] S5. The barrier layer is completely etched away using dry etching technology, and etched down to below the two-dimensional electron gas to form a nanopore array;
[0012] S6. Remove any remaining nanoimprint adhesive from the wafer surface;
[0013] S7. Deposit multiple layers of gold-free ohmic metal sequentially in the source and drain regions, and perform alloy annealing treatment at 500-700℃ to form source and drain electrodes.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, the nanopatterns are either a circular array or a polygonal array.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S1, the sum of the areas of the nanopatterns accounts for 50-60% of the total area of the ohmic contact region.
[0016] Furthermore, the pore size of the nanopores is 100–500 nm.
[0017] Furthermore, the thickness of the GaN-based wafer barrier layer is 5–20 nm, and the depth of the nanopores is 5–50 nm.
[0018] Furthermore, the material of the barrier layer is selected from one of AlGaN, InAlN, ScAlN, and AlN.
[0019] Furthermore, in step S5, the reaction gas used in the dry etching is a Cl2 / BCl3 mixed gas.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S7, the specific steps for sequentially depositing multiple layers of gold-free ohmic metal in the source and drain regions are as follows: first, fill the nanopore array with a first metal to form a first metal layer, and then deposit a second metal to form a second metal layer.
[0021] Furthermore, the first metal is selected from Ti or Ta, and the second metal is selected from one of Ti / Al, Ti / W, and Ta / Al.
[0022] Furthermore, in step S7, the annealing time for the alloy annealing treatment is 30s to 5min, and the atmosphere is high-purity nitrogen.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0024] (1) The present invention forms a nano-aperture array by etching in the source and drain regions, which greatly increases the sidewall area of the contact between the ohmic metal and the semiconductor. The nano-aperture array is etched below the two-dimensional electron gas, which will not cause the two-dimensional electron gas in the source and drain regions to be interrupted. The ohmic metal and the two-dimensional electron gas are in direct contact, which reduces the potential barrier and increases the probability of electron tunneling. Therefore, it can effectively reduce the ohmic contact resistance and improve the frequency characteristics of HEMT devices.
[0025] (2) The present invention uses nanoimprint technology to create nano-patterns. The intermediate soft template can be reused. Compared with electron beam exposure process, it has the advantages of high efficiency and low cost, and is suitable for large-scale production.
[0026] (3) The present invention uses gold-free ohmic contact electrodes, which can be compatible with CMOS process, avoid gold contamination, and improve reliability. Attached Figure Description
