Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for measuring the thermophysical properties of heterojunctions based on thermal imaging. Background Technology
[0002] Solid-state heterostructures, also known as heterojunctions, are generally composed of a substrate and an epitaxial thin film. The constituent materials include metals, semiconductors, or insulators, and they are widely used in various advanced technology fields such as power electronics, radio frequency communication, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics.
[0003] However, with the rapid iteration of device performance indicators, heat generation and junction temperature have also increased dramatically. This requires devices to possess good thermal conductivity while maintaining high electron mobility, high breakdown field strength, and high power. To enhance the thermal conductivity of heterojunction devices, researchers have conducted extensive thermal analysis and optimization designs from the near-junction region of heterostructure devices to external heat dissipation structures. However, these efforts still cannot fully meet the increasingly stringent and complex thermal management requirements. One important reason for this is the current lack of truly efficient methods suitable for measuring the thermophysical properties of various heterojunctions.
[0004] In the existing technology, the experimental methods that can be used to measure the thermophysical properties of heterojunctions mainly include time-domain thermal reflectometry, Raman spectroscopy, and 3ω electrical methods.
[0005] Among them, the time-domain thermal reflectometry (TDRT) method uses a beam splitter to divide a picosecond or femtosecond laser into a pump beam and a probe beam. By fitting the relationship between the reflected probe beam signal and the time delay or modulation frequency, parameters such as the thermal conductivity and specific heat of the thin film and substrate of the heterostructure sample under test, as well as the interfacial thermal resistance between them, are derived. Because the laser repetition frequency of this type of method is on the order of 10 MHz, the corresponding thermal penetration depth is very shallow (~100 nm). Therefore, its signal has low sensitivity to the interfacial thermal resistance and substrate thermal conductivity of widely used micron-scale thin film heterostructures, resulting in large measurement uncertainty. Raman spectroscopy is used to detect the surface temperature of specific materials. Incident photons undergo inelastic scattering with atoms, resulting in energy exchange and the generation of a Raman signal. Changes in material temperature cause changes in polarizability, thereby altering the Raman signal. Based on this principle, the internal temperature distribution of a sample can be determined, and the thermal conductivity and interfacial thermal resistance of the thin film and substrate of heterostructures can be derived. The measurement uncertainty of this method is approximately 5 K, and the normal temperature spatial resolution is typically greater than 1 μm. These characteristics severely limit the measurement accuracy of this method. For the 3ω electrical method, a strip-shaped metal thin film needs to be prepared on the sample surface as both a heating electrode and a detection electrode. Alternating current heating is applied, and the 3ω and 2ω voltage signals of the electrodes are extracted to derive the relevant thermophysical properties. However, this method requires precise design of the electrode dimensions to achieve high sensitivity, and it is insensitive to the specific heat of the material at lower frequencies.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0051] The following is combined Figures 1-6 This invention describes a method and apparatus for measuring the thermophysical properties of heterojunctions based on thermal imaging.
[0052] In principle, thermal reflection imaging utilizes the functional relationship between a material's reflectivity and temperature. It derives the temperature coefficient of reflectivity based on the change in reflectivity per unit temperature change, and then obtains the temperature change by measuring the change in the intensity of reflected light on the surface of the device under test. An LED light source provides stable incident light to the surface of the device under test, while a charge-coupled device (CCD) detects the intensity of reflected light as a function of temperature. Thermal reflection imaging boasts high spatial resolution (<300 nm) and high temporal resolution (~50 ns), and can image a wide range of materials, including metals and semiconductors commonly used in electronic devices.
[0053] Infrared thermal imaging utilizes the principle of infrared radiation. Any object with a finite temperature can radiate electromagnetic waves, the intensity of which depends on its temperature and emissivity. Infrared thermometers collect electromagnetic waves of infrared wavelengths, and the temperature of the sample can be extracted according to Planck's law of blackbody radiation. To map the temperature distribution on the sample surface, an infrared array detector is used in an infrared microscope. Each pixel converts infrared radiation into a change in the resistance of a single pixel, which is then transformed into a two-dimensional temperature distribution. This technique is a non-contact, non-destructive, and convenient method with extremely fast imaging capabilities. Its temperature resolution can be described by the noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD), which determines the minimum temperature difference that can be detected. The NETD of infrared thermometry can now reach the mK level.
[0054] Therefore, both reflective thermal imaging and infrared thermal imaging methods can perform integrated temperature testing of heterostructure samples in two dimensions and one dimension in one time. They can be used to simultaneously measure the specific heat, thermal conductivity, and interfacial thermal resistance of the thin film and substrate of heterojunction samples, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of characterization.
[0055] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the method for measuring the thermophysical properties of heterojunctions based on thermal imaging provided by the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0056] Step 110: During the test duration, obtain multiple first average temperature rise values of the first target region of the heterojunction sample to be tested, so as to obtain the first discrete point of the first average temperature rise value changing with time during the test duration.
[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the heterojunction sample structure to be tested includes an insulating layer 201, a thin film 202, an interface 203, and a substrate 204. In one embodiment of the present invention, the material of the insulating layer is not particularly limited. Specifically, the insulating layer is selected from at least one of silicon dioxide, hafnium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, aluminum oxide, gallium oxide, and silicon nitride. Those skilled in the art can select the method in this application to test the thermal conductivity and specific heat of the insulating layer of the sample according to actual needs.
[0058] The material of the thin film must be limited to a hard solid material with a bandgap of less than or equal to 3.40 eV. Specifically, the thin film can be gallium nitride thin film, gallium arsenide thin film, silicon thin film, germanium thin film, molybdenum disulfide thin film, silicon carbide thin film, gallium arsenide thin film, indium gallium arsenide thin film, indium arsenide thin film, aluminum gallium arsenide thin film, aluminum arsenide thin film, gallium phosphide thin film, indium gallium phosphide thin film, indium phosphide thin film, zinc oxide thin film, zinc telluride thin film, or titanium dioxide thin film, etc. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the thin film is not particularly limited; for example, the thickness of the thin film can be 50 nm to 20 μm. This avoids the thin film being too thick, which would affect the sensitivity of temperature rise changes to the specific heat, thermal conductivity, and interfacial thermal resistance of the substrate.
[0059] The substrate material is not particularly limited; any hard solid material can be tested using the above method. Specifically, in this invention, the substrate material includes at least one of the following: non-radioactive inorganic non-metallic solid materials, non-radioactive inorganic metallic solid materials, non-radioactive organic non-metallic solid materials, and non-radioactive organic metallic solid materials. Specifically, the substrate is selected from at least one of gallium nitride, aluminum gallium nitride, aluminum nitride, tantalum nitride, gallium oxide, aluminum gallium oxide, aluminum oxide, sapphire, silicon, germanium, silicon-germanium alloy, silicon dioxide, quartz, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, diamond, graphite, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, boron arsenide, gallium arsenide, indium gallium arsenide, indium arsenide, aluminum gallium arsenide, aluminum arsenide, gallium phosphide, indium gallium phosphide, zinc oxide, hafnium dioxide, titanium dioxide, titanium nitride, magnesium oxide, lithium niobate, strontium titanate, strontium ruthenate, and mica, and their composite materials. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the substrate is not particularly limited; for example, the thickness of the substrate can be 10 μm to 1 cm. This avoids the substrate being too thin, thus preventing breakage during testing.

[0076] Step 150: Based on finite element simulation calculation, the interfacial thermal resistance and specific heat of the heterojunction sample under test are obtained according to the discrete points of the second variation within the third test duration and the thermal conductivity and specific heat of the substrate.
[0077] After obtaining the second and third variation discrete points within the third test duration, the interfacial thermal resistance and specific heat of the thin film of the heterojunction sample under test are obtained based on finite element simulation calculation.

[0079] The first average temperature rise value, the second average temperature rise value, and the third average temperature rise value are obtained by measuring the surface of the heterojunction sample under test using a thermal imaging method.
[0080] During the fourth test duration, the thermal conductivity of the thin film is obtained based on the discrete point of the second variation, the interfacial thermal resistance, the specific heat of the thin film, and the thermal conductivity and specific heat of the substrate.

In the device, during the test duration, multiple first average temperature rise values of the first target region of the heterojunction sample under test are acquired to obtain the first discrete points of the first average temperature rise value changing with time during the first test duration. Prior to this, the device further includes: A heating electrode is disposed on at least a portion of the surface of the thin film of the heterojunction sample to be tested; The first target region is located at a distance of l1 to l1+Δl1 from the heating electrode; l1 is 3μm to 8μm and Δl1 is 2μm to 7μm. The second target region is located at a distance of l2 to l2+Δl2 from the heating electrode; l2 is 1μm to 5μm and Δl2 is 1μm to 4μm. The third target region is located at a distance of l3 to l3+Δl3 from the heating electrode; l3 is 5μm to 10μm and Δl3 is 1μm to 4μm.
