Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and particularly to a GaN HEMT device and a method for manufacturing the same. Background Art
[0002] Due to the advantages of GaN materials such as stable chemical properties, high electron mobility, high temperature resistance, and high breakdown voltage, in recent years, GaN HEMT devices have been widely used in the field of integrated circuits, especially in the field of high-frequency power circuits.
[0003] Currently, GaN HEMT devices often adopt an AlGaN / GaN heterojunction structure. By increasing the Al component in the AlGaN / GaN heterojunction, the concentration of 2DEG can be effectively increased, thereby increasing the output current of the device. However, with the increase of the Al component, the crystal quality of the AlGaN barrier layer will deteriorate, and at the same time, the surface morphology will also deteriorate, resulting in leakage.

[0059] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0060] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.
[0061] Due to the advantages of GaN materials such as stable chemical properties, high electron mobility, high temperature resistance, and high breakdown voltage, they have great application value in power devices. High electron mobility transistors based on GaN and their power integrated circuits are candidates for the next generation of ultra-high density power converters. They have now been applied to AC adapters for high-density power stages in consumers and data centers, and also have great advantages in applications such as motor drives;
[0062] Also, in the GaN / AlN heterojunction, due to the stronger polarization ability of AlN, when the thickness of AlN is very thin (i.e., d < 5 nm), the concentration of 2DEG at the interface can exceed 3*10 13 cm -2 . A GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) with a GaN / AlN superlattice (SL) channel. This superlattice structure has better voltage blocking ability and thermal stability than traditional GaN channels, and higher electron mobility than AlGaN channels. Its conductivity is higher than that of AlGaN / GaN heterojunctions. However, the gate control ability of traditional GaN / AlN HEMT devices is poor, and gate leakage will seriously affect the device turn-off ability, thereby deteriorating the device reliability.
[0063] In view of the prior art, it is difficult to improve the gate control ability of a device while increasing the output current of a GaN HEMT device. The present invention provides a GaN HEMT device and a preparation method thereof. By epitaxially forming several layers of superlattice structures on an isolation layer, a first part of the isolation layer is missing, so that a cavity is formed between the several layers of superlattice structures and the isolation layer. A part of the several layers of superlattice structures above the cavity forms superlattice nanowires, and the gate metal wraps the superlattice nanowires from all around. Each layer of the superlattice structure includes an AlN layer and a GaN layer formed in sequence along the direction away from the substrate; while increasing the output current of the GaN HEMT device by the several layers of superlattice structures, the annular gate metal can ensure that the conductive channels of the several layers of superlattice structures are completely turned off from all around, improving the gate control ability and switching performance of the GaN HEMT device, thereby achieving the effect of improving the performance of the GaN HEMT device.
[0064] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 7 , according to an embodiment of the present invention, a GaN HEMT device is provided, including:
[0066] Substrate 101, and a buffer layer 102, an interface layer 103, and an isolation layer 104 are sequentially epitaxially formed on the substrate 101 in a direction away from the substrate 101;
[0067] A superlattice layer 105, the superlattice layer 105 includes several layers of superlattice structures, formed on the isolation layer 104, a first part of the isolation layer 104 is missing, so that a cavity is formed between the several layers of superlattice structures and the isolation layer 104; wherein, each layer of superlattice structure includes an AlN layer and a GaN layer sequentially formed in a direction away from the substrate 101, and a part of the several layers of superlattice structures located above the cavity forms superlattice nanowires;
[0068] A source electrode 108 and a drain electrode 109 are formed on the several layers of superlattice structures; wherein, the source electrode and the drain electrode 109 are located on both sides of the cavity along a first direction;
[0069] A gate metal 106 wraps around the periphery of the superlattice nanowires.
[0070] Wherein, the gate metal 106 wrapping around the periphery of the superlattice nanowires can completely turn off the conductive channel of the GaN HEMT device from all around, increasing the control area of the gate over the channel, greatly enhancing the gate control ability, thereby effectively suppressing the short-channel effect, suppressing the gate leakage current, reducing the subthreshold swing and device power consumption, and improving the switching speed and performance of the GaN HEMT device.
[0071] In an example, the material of the interface layer 103 and the gate metal 106 is AlN, and the material of the isolation layer 104 is Al2O3. Of course, the foregoing several structural layers can also be composed of other materials, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Any implementation form of the materials of the corresponding structural layers is within the protection scope of the present invention;
[0072] Since each layer of superlattice structure has one 2DEG as a conductive channel, and the 2DEG electrons are basically not affected by impurity scattering, the electron mobility in the channel is relatively high and has an ultra-high channel mobility. Also, the several 2DEG conductive channels corresponding to the several layers of superlattice structures are connected in parallel, that is, the several 2DEG conductive channels share the same gate voltage and source voltage, so that each 2DEG conductive channel can contribute a certain proportion of the channel current. The more 2DEG conductive channels, the greater the output current of the GaN HEMT device.
[0073] Specifically, in Figure 7In the illustrated example, taking the superlattice layer 105 including the stacked first superlattice structure 1051, second superlattice structure 1052, third superlattice structure 1053, and fourth superlattice structure 1054, a total of 4 superlattice structures as an example for illustration.
[0074] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 is the cross-section of the GaN HEMT device at the superlattice nanowire. The isolation layer 104 is wider than the width of the several superlattice structures along the surface in the second direction, and is used to provide space for the gate metal 106 to contact the 2DEG corresponding to the 4 superlattice structures on the sidewall of the mesa, and also provides electrical isolation when multiple GaN HEMT devices are connected.
[0075] In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 , the gate metal 106 fills the gate region of the cavity and wraps around the periphery of the superlattice nanowire to form a gate; wherein, the gate metal 106 does not contact the interface layer 103.
[0076] To increase the reliability of the device, in a further preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 is the cross-section of the GaN HEMT device at the superlattice nanowire, and the GaN HEMT device further includes a gate dielectric 107;
[0077] The gate dielectric 107 is wrapped between the gate metal 106 and the superlattice nanowire. The gate dielectric 107 serves as an insulating layer to isolate the gate and the channel, and protects the GaN HEMT device when the gate voltage is too high;
[0078] In an example, the material of the gate dielectric 107 is Al2O3. Of course, the gate dielectric 107 can also be composed of other materials. The present invention is not limited thereto, and can also be SiO2, SiON, HfO2, etc. Those skilled in the art can select a suitable gate dielectric according to actual needs, and any implementation form of the corresponding gate dielectric material is within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0079] In addition, please refer to Figures 1 - 9 , according to other embodiments of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a GaN HEMT device is further provided, and the method includes:
[0080] Providing a substrate;
[0081] Epitaxially forming a buffer layer, an interface layer, and an isolation layer on the substrate in a direction away from the substrate in sequence;
[0082] Epitaxially grow several layers of superlattice structures on the isolation layer, and each layer of superlattice structure includes an AlN layer and a GaN layer formed in sequence along the direction away from the substrate;
[0083] Selectively etch the several layers of superlattice structures to form isolation mesa surfaces on both sides of the isolation layer along the first direction;
[0084] Remove the first part of the isolation layer to form a cavity between the several layers of superlattice structures and the interface layer; wherein, the cavity is located below a partial area of the several layers of superlattice structures, and a part of the several layers of superlattice structures located above the cavity forms superlattice nanowires;
[0085] Epitaxially grow a source electrode and a drain electrode on the several layers of superlattice structures, wherein the source electrode and the drain electrode are located on both sides of the cavity along the first direction;
[0086] Deposit a gate metal on the outer periphery of the superlattice nanowires, and the gate metal wraps the superlattice nanowires from all around.

[0091] S13: Epitaxially grow several layers of superlattice structures on the isolation layer 104;

[0094] Specifically, selectively etch the plurality of superlattice structures to form isolation mesa surfaces on both sides of the isolation layer 104 along the first direction;

[0106] In a preferred embodiment, the selective etching of the plurality of superlattice structures in step S14 includes steps S141 - S142, specifically as follows:
[0107] S141: Clean the sample of the GaN HEMT device;
[0108] This is because in actual production, there will be impurities such as organic substances, metals, and particles on the surface of the GaN HEMT device. These impurities will affect the yield, performance, and reliability of the device. At the same time, cleaning the sample of the GaN HEMT device can also remove the surface oxide layer and the oxide deposited by CVD;
