AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing p-GaN HEMT devices, during the growth of the p-type doped GaN layer, the diffusion of Mg ions into the AlGaN barrier layer leads to a decrease in the concentration of two-dimensional electron gas in the channel, an increase in on-resistance, a decrease in saturation current density, and uneven distribution of threshold voltage, affecting device performance and process stability.

Method used

Before growing the p-GaN layer, a two-dimensional material layer is transferred or grown on the surface of the AlGaN barrier layer as a barrier layer to prevent Mg ion diffusion. The MOCVD method and heterogeneous growth transfer technology are used to form a continuous, wrinkle-free two-dimensional material film to cover the AlGaN barrier layer. Then, photolithography and etching are performed to form ohmic contacts.

Benefits of technology

This increases the two-dimensional electron gas concentration in the channel of p-GaN HEMT devices, enhances current capability, reduces device resistance, improves the uniformity of threshold voltage distribution, and improves device process stability.

Abstract

本发明涉及一种提高p‑GaN HEMT电流能力及工艺稳定性的方法。该方法包括:(1)在Si衬底上GaN材料外延,自上而下分别生长AlN成核层、AlGaN缓冲层、GaN沟道层、AlGaN势垒层;(2)在AlGaN势垒层表面生长二维材料层;(3)在二维材料层表面生长p‑GaN层;(4)P‑GaN栅极制备;(5)源漏姆接触制备;(6)金属互连及电极制作。该方法制备的pGaN HEMT器件中AlGaN势垒层中不含表层Mg离子,二维电子气密度与理论上更接近,具有器件电阻小、电流能力大的优点,同时消除了因栅极下方Mg离子扩散深度和浓度不可控性引起的阈值电压不稳定性,使得片间阈值电压不均一性降低。
