Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor transistor technology, and in particular to a double heterojunction nitrogen polar surface gallium nitride transistor and its manufacturing method. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of artificial intelligence and microelectronics technology, electronic transistor products such as mobile phones and computers have provided tremendous convenience to our lives and work. However, first-generation semiconductor silicon materials can no longer meet people's ever-changing needs in some fields. Therefore, people are constantly looking for other new semiconductor materials to achieve new functions in different scenarios. In the 1990s, third-generation semiconductor materials, represented by group III nitrides such as AlN (aluminum nitride), InN (indium nitride), and GaN (gallium nitride), have broad application prospects in ultra-high-speed microelectronic transistors, ultra-high-frequency microwave transistors, and optoelectronic transistors due to their higher electron mobility and wider wavelength coverage.
[0003] Existing gallium-polarized gallium nitride (GaN) transistors, due to their low work function, struggle to reduce contact resistance at ohmic contacts, resulting in strong self-heating. Consequently, under high-frequency, high-voltage operating conditions, thermal effects accumulate rapidly, leading to severe heat generation and negatively impacting the transistor's fundamental performance. This characteristic limits the application of GaN transistors with high electron mobility in high-frequency radio frequency (RF) fields. Current GaN transistors are manufactured by epitaxially growing a layer of GaN and then using a stripping technique to reverse the GaN layer into GaN for secondary epitaxy. This process involves numerous steps, and the defects introduced during secondary epitaxy are generally more numerous than those introduced during GaN epitaxy. This results in severe leakage current in the off-state, affecting the transistor's performance. Summary of the Invention

The two sides of the barrier layer are respectively connected to the source electrode and the drain electrode. The gate electrode is located between the source electrode and the drain electrode and is disposed on the barrier layer. A Schottky contact is formed between the gate electrode and the barrier layer.

[0061] In the technical solution of this invention, GaN is used as the channel layer, and the side of GaN facing the electrode is a nitrogen polar surface. Each cell of the nitrogen polar surface has three dangling bonds, which greatly reduces the contact resistance when forming an ohmic contact with the metal, thereby reducing the self-heating effect of the transistor in the working state and reducing the heat generation of the transistor. At the same time, the nitrogen polar surface has more charge carriers, so the ohmic contact is simpler and the contact resistance is lower. However, it also makes the Schottky barrier of the gate electrode prone to leakage. Therefore, a barrier layer made of AlGaN is set between the gate electrode and the nitrogen polar surface of the channel layer. The barrier layer covers the upper surface of the channel layer, and the gate electrode is set in the middle of the barrier layer. At the same time, the barrier layer, the channel layer and the barrier layer form a double heterojunction, which makes the charge carriers more localized in the gallium nitride channel layer, that is, it has a stronger channel effect suppression capability and reduces the leakage of the transistor. The support layer is made of p-GaN, which can reduce the leakage between the transistor and ground, increase the voltage withstand performance of the transistor, and reduce the heat generation of the transistor.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0073] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0074] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible to those skilled in the art. If a combination of technical solutions contradicts each other or cannot be implemented, such a combination should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0075] In this invention, the descriptions of directions such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" are as follows: Figure 1 The directions shown are for reference only and are used to interpret the location. Figure 1 The relative positional relationship between the components in the shown posture is such that if the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0076] This invention proposes a dual heterojunction nitrogen polar surface gallium nitride transistor 1 and its manufacturing method.
[0077] Please see Figure 1 The dual heterojunction nitrogen-polarized gallium nitride transistor 11 of this embodiment includes a substrate layer 10, a bonding layer 20, a support layer 30, a barrier layer 40, a channel layer 50 made of GaN, and a barrier layer 60 made of AlGaN, which are stacked sequentially from bottom to top. The support layer 30 is made of p-GaN. The nitrogen-polarized surface of the channel layer 50 faces upward, and a gate electrode 82 and a source electrode 80 and a drain electrode 81 that form an ohmic contact with the channel layer 50 are disposed above the channel layer 50. Drain electrodes 81 are located on opposite sides of the channel layer 50. The two sides of the barrier layer 60 are connected to the source electrode 80 and the drain electrode 81, respectively. The gate electrode 82 is located between the source electrode 80 and the drain electrode 81 and is disposed on the barrier layer 60. A Schottky contact is formed between the gate electrode 82 and the barrier layer 60. A passivation layer 70 made of SiN is formed between the gate electrode 82 and the source electrode 80 and between the gate electrode 82 and the drain electrode 81. The passivation layer 70 is stacked on top of the barrier layer 60.
[0078] In the technical solution of this invention, GaN (gallium nitride) is used as the channel layer 50, and the side of GaN facing the electrode is a nitrogen-polarized surface. Each cell of the nitrogen-polarized surface has three dangling bonds, which greatly reduces the contact resistance when forming an ohmic contact with the metal, thereby reducing the self-heating effect of the transistor in the working state and reducing the heat generation of the transistor. At the same time, the nitrogen-polarized surface has more charge carriers, so the ohmic contact is simpler and the contact resistance is lower. However, this also makes the Schottky barrier of the gate electrode 82 prone to leakage. Therefore, the nitrogen-polarized surface between the gate electrode 82 and the channel layer 50... A barrier layer 60 made of AlGaN (aluminum gallium nitride) is disposed between the surface and the channel layer 50. The barrier layer 60 covers the upper surface of the channel layer 50, and the gate electrode 82 is disposed in the middle of the barrier layer 60. At the same time, the barrier layer 60, the channel layer 50 and the barrier layer 40 form a double heterojunction, which makes the carrier localization in the gallium nitride channel layer 50 greater, that is, it has a stronger channel effect suppression capability and reduces the leakage current of the transistor. The support layer 30 is made of p-GaN, which can reduce the leakage current between the transistor and ground, increase the voltage withstand performance of the transistor, and reduce the heat generation of the transistor.
[0079] In one embodiment, the substrate layer 10 is made of Si (silicon), Al2O3 (alumina), or SiC (silicon carbide); and / or, the bonding layer 20 is made of SnIn (indium tin); and / or, the support layer 30 is made of GaN (gallium nitride); and / or, the barrier layer 40 is made of AlGaN (aluminum gallium nitride). The substrate layer 10 can be made of one of silicon, alumina, or silicon carbide. Silicon is stable, easy to purify, and low in cost; alumina is heat-resistant, wear-resistant, and has good insulation and thermal conductivity; diamond is heat-resistant, chemically stable, and has fast heat dissipation; silicon carbide and gallium nitride have large band gaps, high electron drift saturation velocities, low dielectric constants, and good electrical conductivity; AlGaN has good chemical stability, extremely high melting point and thermal conductivity, and a large dielectric constant, making it suitable for fabricating high-frequency, high-power transistors.
[0080] The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a double heterojunction nitrogen polar surface gallium nitride transistor, applicable to the manufacture of the above-mentioned transistor, comprising the following steps:
[0081] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 4 S100: Provides a substrate inside the cavity;
[0082] An auxiliary substrate 90 is provided to facilitate the growth of subsequent buffer layer 91, superlattice layer 92 and merging layer 93;
[0083] S200: A buffer layer, a superlattice layer and a merging layer are sequentially formed from bottom to top on the upper surface of the substrate;
[0084] First, a buffer layer 91, a superlattice layer 92, and a merging layer 93 are used to buffer stress and improve the crystal quality of subsequent epitaxial materials.
[0085] S300: A barrier layer, a channel layer and a potential barrier layer, a support layer, a bonding layer and a substrate layer are sequentially formed from bottom to top on the upper surface of the merged layer to obtain an initial crystal. The barrier layer is made of AlGaN and the support layer is made of p-GaN.
[0086] Finally, a support layer is grown to maximize the crystal quality of the nitrogen-polarized gallium nitride high electron mobility transistor.
[0087] S400: Invert the initial crystal so that the substrate is on top of the initial crystal;
[0088] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 The initial crystal 100 is inverted so that the nitrogen polar surface of the channel layer 50 faces upward, thereby installing the source electrode 80 and the drain electrode 81 on the nitrogen polar surface of the channel layer 50.
[0089] S500: Substrate stripping;
[0090] S600: Etching buffer layer, superlattice layer and merging layer;
[0091] The substrate 90, buffer layer 91, superlattice layer 92, and merging layer 93 are all peeled off to expose the barrier layer 94.
[0092] S700: A passivation layer is deposited on the upper surface of the barrier layer;
[0093] S800: An ohmic contact region is formed on the upper surface of the passivation layer, the barrier layer and passivation layer at the ohmic contact region are etched, and the drain electrode and source electrode are fabricated in the ohmic contact region.
[0094] S900: A Schottky contact region is formed on the upper surface of the passivation layer, the passivation layer at the Schottky contact region is etched, and a gate electrode is fabricated within the Schottky contact region.
[0095] This method is used to manufacture the above-mentioned double heterojunction nitrogen polar surface gallium nitride transistor 1. The specific structure of the double heterojunction nitrogen polar surface gallium nitride transistor 1 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this method adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0096] Unintentional doping of gallium nitride (GaN) materials during epitaxial growth typically results in n-type materials. Since the activation rate of Mg in GaN decreases, achieving p-type GaN often requires heavy doping. However, heavy doping often reduces the crystal quality of the epitaxial material, leading to rough interfaces and affecting subsequent epitaxial growth. This invention first grows the transistor structure epitaxially, then reverses the epitaxial layer using a peel-bonding process. This simpler process results in fewer defects and improves the crystal quality of the nitrogen-polarized GaN. Furthermore, the p-type GaN support layer is grown only at the end of the transistor's epitaxial growth, maximizing the crystal quality of the nitrogen-polarized GaN high electron mobility transistor.
[0097] In one embodiment, step S200 includes:
[0098] S210: An AlN (aluminum nitride) buffer layer is formed by depositing AlN (aluminum nitride) on the upper surface of a substrate using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process;
[0099] S220: A superlattice layer is obtained by depositing multiple cycles of barrier layers and GaN layers on the upper surface of a buffer layer using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process. One cycle is defined as the sequential deposition of one barrier layer and one GaN layer on the upper surface of the buffer layer.
[0100] S230: A merging layer is formed on the surface of the superlattice layer by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The MOCVD process deposits a buffer layer 91, a superlattice layer 92, and a merging layer 93, resulting in rapid film formation, high adhesion strength, and a smooth deposition surface, leading to better crystal quality. Simultaneously, the inclusion of the buffer layer 91, superlattice layer 92, and merging layer 93 reduces dislocation density, buffers stress, and improves the crystal quality of subsequent epitaxial materials.
[0101] Further, step S210 includes:

This process is repeated 14 times to form a superlattice layer.
[0113] Step S230 includes:
[0114] S2310: Set the temperature inside the chamber to 1000℃~1050℃, the pressure to 25Toor~35Toor, the ammonia flow rate to 1400sccm~1600sccm, the trimethylgallium flow rate to 45sccm~55sccm, and the carrier gas flow rate to 1900sccm~2100sccm, and deposit a merging layer with a thickness of 90nm~110nm on the AlGaN / GaN superlattice layer.

[0116] Understandably, different equipment requires different temperatures and pressures, which need to be adjusted according to the actual situation. Temperature and pressure affect the quality of material growth. If the temperature is too high, the molecular atoms are highly active during the material growth process, reducing defects. At the same time, the deposited molecular atoms will undergo thermal diffusion at high temperatures, leading to blurred interfaces and reduced transistor performance. If the temperature is too low, the activity between molecular atoms is reduced, resulting in more defects. If the pressure is too high, the material growth tends to be three-dimensional, resulting in more dislocations between materials, affecting transistor leakage. If the pressure is reduced, the gas flow rate needs to be reduced, affecting the V / III ratio (i.e., the ratio of group V elements to group III elements) of the material growth, causing the material growth to tend to be three-dimensional, which still increases the material dislocations. Various gas flow rates are mainly used to control the V / III ratio of the material. Therefore, for the growth of different materials, it is necessary to control their temperature, pressure, and gas flow rate within a reasonable range. Setting the temperature, pressure, and gas flow rate within the above range can improve the growth quality and performance of the material. At the same time, the material being grown can be changed by adjusting the gas type.
[0117] In one embodiment, step S300 includes:
[0118] S310: An AlGaN barrier layer is formed by depositing AlGaN on the upper surface of the merged layer using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process;
[0119] S320: GaN is deposited on the upper surface of the barrier layer to form a channel layer by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process;
[0120] S330: An AlGaN barrier layer is formed by depositing AlGaN on the upper surface of the channel layer using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process;
[0121] S340: A support layer is formed by depositing p-GaN on the surface of the barrier layer using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition process;
[0122] S350: A bonding layer is formed by depositing Sn / In on the upper surface of the support layer using a physical vapor deposition process;
[0123] S360: A substrate layer is formed by bonding Si, Al2O3, or SiC to the surface of the bonding layer using a wafer bonding process.
[0124] Understandably, depositing the barrier layer 60, channel layer 50, barrier layer 40, and support layer 30 via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) results in fast film formation, high adhesion strength, and a smooth deposition surface, leading to better crystal quality. Since the side of the channel layer 50 facing the barrier layer 60 is a nitrogen-polarized side, leakage issues exist when using Schottky contacts. Therefore, the barrier layer 60 is fabricated using an aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) material with a large bandgap to minimize leakage. The bonding layer 20 is deposited via physical vapor deposition (PVD). PVD is a simple process, environmentally friendly, pollution-free, requires less material, produces a uniform and dense film, and has strong adhesion to the substrate, resulting in a more stable bond between the bonding layer 20 and the support layer 30.

A 15 nm thick barrier layer is deposited on the upper surface of the merging layer. Alternatively, the cavity temperature is set to 1000°C, the pressure to 25 Toor, the ammonia flow rate to 3000 sccm, the trimethylgallium flow rate to 20 sccm, and the carrier gas flow rate to 2000 sccm. A 30 nm–40 nm thick GaN layer is deposited on the upper surface of the barrier layer to form a channel layer. The temperature was set to 1050℃, the pressure to 30 Toor, the ammonia flow rate to 2000 sccm, the trimethylgallium flow rate to 50 sccm, the trimethylaluminum flow rate to 10 sccm, and the carrier gas flow rate to 2000 sccm.

[0134] In one embodiment, step S800 includes:

[0140] In a preferred embodiment, the annealing temperature is 800°C and the annealing time is 30 seconds. The vacuum evaporation process is simple to form a film, with high film purity and density, and unique film structure and performance. This improves the forming quality of the source electrode 80 and the gate electrode 82. The source electrode 80 and the drain electrode 81 form an ohmic contact with the nitrogen polar surface of the channel layer, resulting in lower contact resistance. Under high-frequency operation, this can greatly improve the self-heating effect of the transistor, thereby improving the efficiency of the transistor.

[0147] In a preferred embodiment, the annealing temperature is 700°C and the annealing time is 30 seconds. Since the Schottky contact will cause leakage of the gate electrode 82, the gate electrode 82 is formed on the barrier layer. An entire aluminum gallium nitride barrier layer is disposed below the gate electrode 82. The barrier layer covers the channel layer, making the carriers more localized in the gallium nitride channel layer, that is, having a stronger channel effect suppression capability and reducing the leakage of the gate electrode 82.
