Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a gallium oxide stacked gate-all-around field effect transistor and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a new semiconductor material, gallium oxide has an ultra-wide band gap of 4.5eV-4.9eV, and thus has a high critical breakdown field strength of about 8MV / cm. Meanwhile, there are five crystal forms of gallium oxide crystals, i.e. alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon, and the beta phase Ga2O3 is widely studied and applied due to its chemical stability and direct band gap. Considering the ultra-wide band gap, the critical breakdown field strength of 8MV / cm and the Baliga figure which is more than twenty times higher than that of traditional silicon material, gallium oxide devices are considered as a promising material in the field of power devices.
[0003] Although gallium oxide material has high theoretical material performance and relatively low production cost, it has not been widely used in practical applications. In the world, the factors hindering the large-scale application of gallium oxide include the difficulty in realizing p-type doping, the self-heating effect and heat dissipation problem of gallium oxide material itself with low thermal conductivity; in addition, in the implementation of devices in engineering, the production of enhancement mode devices faces great difficulties. The depletion of the gallium oxide channel is difficult to achieve in practice, and most of the existing enhancement mode implementation methods rely on the recessed gate formed by etching to produce devices. However, such implementation methods often have problems such as complex and difficult production process, obvious damage to the device after completion, unclear boundary, increased defect density, uncontrollable leakage channel and other problems; at the same time, the sinking of the gate can only improve the control ability of the gate on the Ga2O3 channel to a certain extent; the weak gate control ability also brings about the problems of reduced frequency response of the switch and sub-threshold swing, etc.
[0004] Under such background, the gate-all-around (GAA) device as a new structure device continuing the existing semiconductor technology route, the entire channel outline of GAA is completely wrapped by the gate, and compared with the traditional three-terminal surrounding channel, the four-side control of the full-enclosure structure means better gate control ability. GAA device has many advantages, and the superior performance in electrostatic performance is called "ultimate device", but there are difficulties such as difficult process implementation and complex production process. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application is directed to the problems of weak gate control ability of gallium oxide devices, difficulty in realizing enhancement mode, and difficulty in realizing device process, and provides a gallium oxide stacked full-surrounding gate field effect transistor which relies on exfoliation of two-dimensional materials and exfoliation of gallium oxide nanofilm stacking to build a full-surrounding gate, so as to reduce device damage and improve device performance.

After confirming the thickness of the 20 nm h-BN two-dimensional material, the h-BN is contacted with the target substrate after aligning the position of the mark and is left for 5 min, and the h-BN gate medium is deposited above the channel layer. Then, the transfer film is adhered to the substrate under the condition that the temperature is set to 80°C using the methacrylate polymer transfer mold with a mechanically peeled 20 nm thick graphene nanofilm. After cooling, the methacrylate polymer is removed by soaking and flushing with acetone and isopropyl alcohol, respectively, and the fabrication of a full-encircling gate structure is completed;
[0023] Step s11: Transfer the h-BN two-dimensional material to the top gate. The 50 nm h-BN two-dimensional material is selected and transferred to the first layer of full-encircling structure of the bottom gate-gate medium-channel-medium-top gate of the device using a transfer platform;

[0043] Example 1
[0044] The fabrication method of a gallium oxide stacked all-around gate field-effect transistor using a transferred metal electrode is as follows:
[0045] Step 1: Preparation of β-Ga2O3 thin films
[0046] Choose a doping concentration of 1.8 × 10⁻⁶ 17 cm -3 of A β-Ga₂O₃ single crystal substrate with an n-type crystal orientation was prepared and then ultrasonically cleaned for 5 minutes each in acetone solution, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water, and then dried with nitrogen gas. The (100) crystal orientation with weaker bonding of the gallium oxide single crystal was found, and the cleaned β-Ga₂O₃ single crystal was cleaved along the (100) direction using tweezers or a blade to obtain a micron-sized β-Ga₂O₃ thin film. The prepared micron-sized β-Ga₂O₃ thin film was bonded to an adhesive tape. The adhesive tape containing the micron-sized β-Ga₂O₃ thin film was folded and bonded multiple times. After the two layers of adhesive tape were bonded, the material could be squeezed from one side to remove air bubbles. Through multiple mechanical peeling, a β-Ga₂O₃ thin film with a thickness of nanometer scale was obtained and adhered to a transfer tape for later use.
[0047] Step 2: Clean SiO2 / p + Si insulating substrate
[0048] Select SiO2 / p + A Si insulating substrate, wherein the SiO2 layer is 270 nm thick, is immersed in acetone solution for 8 hours, and then rinsed with isoacetone and deionized water for 5 min each to remove organic contaminants. After that, it is dried with nitrogen to obtain a target substrate with good interface.
[0049] Step 3: Peel off the h-BN two-dimensional material dielectric layer
[0050] Select h-BN crystal on the blue tape repeatedly tear the crystal material to obtain h-BN nanoscale film, then cut a small piece of transparent PDMS glue from the blue tape to stick the h-BN two-dimensional material on the electron microscope to find the film with a thickness of nanometer, mark the position after determination and select the film with a thickness of 20 nm by atomic force microscope AFM.
[0051] Step 4: making graphene transfer mold
[0052] Use a mechanical solid transparent glass with a thickness of 2 μm, and adhere the adhesive side of the Pritt tape to the glass plate; then spin-coat 1 μm of a methacrylate copolymer dissolved in methyl isobutyl ketone solution (MIBK solvent), and then bake the transfer film at 120°C for 10 min to remove the MIBK solvent from the copolymer. Obtain a glass-methacrylate copolymer transfer mold.
[0053] Step 5: exfoliate and transfer graphene nanofilm to the transfer mold
[0054] Use the mechanical exfoliation method to repeatedly tear the highly oriented pyrolytic graphene using the blue tape to obtain a nanoscale graphene film layer. After transfer to the PDMS glue, use an optical microscope and an atomic force microscope to select a graphene layer with a thickness of about 5 nm, and deposit the exfoliated graphene film on the methacrylate copolymer transfer mold for subsequent transfer.
[0055] Step 6: transfer graphene film to the target substrate using methacrylate copolymer
[0056] Place the substrate sample containing h-BN on a support, set the ambient temperature to 75-100°C, then align the copolymer with graphene sheets to the surface of the substrate, lower the mask on the polymer side to the heated substrate, and make the polymer contact the substrate surface and melt and adhere to the substrate. Obtain a substrate-bottom gate-copolymer structure with a graphene bottom gate.
[0057] Step 7: remove the methacrylate attached to the substrate
[0058] Soak the substrate-bottom gate-copolymer structure in acetone solution for 30 min to remove the methacrylate polymer, then rinse with isopropyl alcohol to obtain a large-area transferred graphene nanosheet as the bottom gate of the GAA device.
[0059] Step 8: transfer h-BN dielectric layer
[0060] The thickness of the h-BN two-dimensional material peeled off in step 5 is confirmed to be 20 nm by an atomic force microscope before being transferred using a transfer tape. The air pump is turned on, the substrate and a clean glass sheet are adsorbed, and the material is placed on the transfer platform. After aligning the target substrate with the marked position, the knob is slowly adjusted to make the h-BN contact the target substrate. After waiting for 5 minutes, the knob is slowly adjusted to separate the substrate and the target substrate. It is ensured that the h-BN is well attached between the graphene gate under the action of van der Waals force, and a transistor bottom gate structure is obtained.
[0061] Step 9: Transfer of β-Ga2O3 film
[0062] The β-Ga2O3 film on the blue tape is transferred using PDMS glue. Under an optical microscope, the material has a thickness of about 100 nm and is uniformly thin. The transfer platform cantilever is slowly lowered to the area above the insulating substrate where the back gate and gate dielectric have been deposited. A pressure of 1200 g / cm2 is applied to the adhesive tape area, and after 40 seconds, the tape is peeled off, transferring the nano β-Ga2O3 film to the substrate and h-BN dielectric, obtaining a full-encircling gate channel.
[0063] Step 10: Transfer of gate dielectric and graphene gate above the channel layer
[0064] The same process in step 8 is used to confirm the thickness of the h-BN nanolayer to be 20 nm. After aligning the marked position, the knob is slowly adjusted to make the h-BN contact the target substrate. After waiting for 5 minutes, the knob is slowly adjusted to separate the substrate and the target substrate. The h-BN gate dielectric is deposited above the channel layer. Then, the methacrylate polymer with a mechanically peeled 20 nm thick graphene material is again used to cover the gallium oxide channel and gate dielectric. The polymer covers part of the gate dielectric and has a certain area of contact with the bottom gate. Then, the transfer film is placed close to the sample at a substrate temperature of 80°C, allowing the copolymer to adhere to the substrate. After cooling, the methacrylate polymer is removed by soaking and rinsing with acetone and isopropyl alcohol, respectively, completing the fabrication of a full-encircling gate structure.
[0065] Step 11: Transfer of h-BN gate dielectric to the top gate
[0066] First, the h-BN thin film material on the transfer glue is observed using an atomic force microscope. The h-BN two-dimensional material with an area sufficient to cover the graphene gate and a thickness of about 50 nm is found. Then, the transfer platform aligner is used to align the device fabrication area. The mechanical cantilever is slowly lowered to the surface to adhere. A pressure is applied to transfer the h-BN to the first full-encircling structure of the bottom gate-gate dielectric-channel-dielectric-top gate of the device, obtaining a dielectric layer that isolates the upper and lower channels.
[0067] Step 12: Fabrication of the second layer of full-encircling gate
[0068] Repeat steps 9-10 above, and build a layer of the same repeating stack on top of the GAA device with a single layer of gallium oxide channel. Use the transfer platform to slowly place the PDMS with the β-Ga2O3 film layer on top of the area of the insulating substrate where the back gate and gate dielectric have been deposited, apply pressure to the adhesive tape area, and after 40 seconds, peel off the tape. Then, align the 20 nm thick h-BN determined by atomic force microscopy to be in contact with the gallium oxide channel layer 2 using the transfer platform, wait for 5 minutes, and then slowly separate the slide and the tape to obtain the gate dielectric covering the channel. Again, cover the gallium oxide channel and the gate dielectric with the methacrylate polymer with mechanically exfoliated graphene material, and set the substrate temperature to 80°C. Place the transfer film next to the sample so that the copolymer adheres to the substrate. After cooling, soak and rinse with acetone and isopropanol to remove the methacrylate polymer, and obtain the second layer of gallium oxide full wrap-around structure.
[0069] Step 13: Transfer of metal electrode and formation of ohmic contact
[0070] Transfer the evaporated Ti / Au metal electrode to the substrate material and the gallium oxide channel, and the top gate and back gate using the transfer platform, and the graphene material in contact with each other. Place the device with the completed electrode into an annealing instrument, set the annealing temperature to 480°C, and anneal for 60 minutes in an N2 atmosphere to form a good ohmic contact between the metal electrode and the material, and complete the device.
[0071] Example Two
[0072] The gallium oxide stacked full wrap-around gate field effect transistor with a metal electrode produced using a photolithography process has the following steps in the preparation method:
[0073] Step 1: Preparation of β-Ga2O3 film
[0074] Select a β-Ga2O3 single crystal substrate with a doping concentration of 1.8 x 10 17 cm -3 n-type β-Ga2O3 single crystal substrate, and then sequentially ultrasonically clean it in acetone solution, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water for 5 minutes each, and then dry it with nitrogen. Find the (100) crystal orientation of the β-Ga2O3 single crystal with weak bonding, and use tweezers or a blade to cleave the cleaned β-Ga2O3 single crystal in the (100) direction to obtain a micron-sized β-Ga2O3 film. Adhere the prepared micron-sized β-Ga2O3 film to the adhesive tape, fold the adhesive tape with the micron-sized β-Ga2O3 film multiple times, and press the material on one side to remove air bubbles after the two layers of adhesive tape are attached. Obtain a nanometer-thick β-Ga2O3 film adhered to the transfer tape by multiple mechanical exfoliations.
[0075] Step 2: cleaning SiO2 / p + Si insulating substrate sheet
[0076] Select SiO2 / p + Si insulating substrate sheet, wherein the thickness of the SiO2 layer is 270 nm, is immersed in an acetone solution for 8 hours, then is washed with isopropyl alcohol and deionized water for 5 minutes, respectively, to remove organic contaminants, and then is dried with nitrogen to obtain a target substrate with a good interface.
[0077] Step 3: photoetching process to make substrate cross mark array
[0078] First, the photoresist is uniformly coated on the cleaned substrate using a spin coater, and then the substrate is placed on a heating table for 100°C, 90s pre-baking; the substrate after pre-baking to eliminate bubbles is placed in a photoetching machine for exposure, adjusting the photoetching machine to Hard contact mode for 1.2s exposure. Then the substrate is developed for 40s using a developing solution. When using NMD-3 developing solution, attention should be paid to that the device cannot be exposed to yellow light.
[0079] Step 4: metal electrode evaporation
[0080] The developed substrate is placed in an e-beam for evaporation, and the evaporation metal is 10 / 80nm Ti / Au electrode as the source-drain electrode of the device; then the device is placed in an acetone solution for metal stripping, and ultrasonic is used in the ultrasonic machine during the stripping process to quickly complete the stripping. A plurality of source-drain metal electrode groups with different spacings are made on the same substrate material at one time, including 20μm, 30μm, 40μm, 50μm, to facilitate the selection of appropriate spacing according to the size of the stripped material.
[0081] Step 5: stripping h-BN two-dimensional material dielectric layer
[0082] Select h-BN crystal and place it on the blue tape, repeatedly tear the crystal material to obtain h-BN two-dimensional material, then cut a small piece of transparent PDMS glue to stick the h-BN film from the blue tape and place it under an electron microscope to find the film with a thickness of nanometers, mark the h-BN position after determination and select the film with a thickness of 20nm using atomic force microscope AFM.
[0083] Step 6: making graphene transfer mold
[0084] A mechanical solid transparent glass with a thickness of 2μm is used, and the adhesive surface of the Pritt tape is attached to the glass plate; then 1μm of methyl methacrylate copolymer dissolved in methyl isobutyl ketone solution (MIBK solvent) is spin-coated, and then the transfer film is baked at 120°C for 10min to remove the MIBK solvent from the copolymer. A glass-methyl methacrylate copolymer transfer mold is obtained.
[0085] Step 7: Peeling and transferring graphene film to transfer mold
[0086] Using mechanical exfoliation method, nanometer scale graphene film layers were obtained by repeatedly peeling and tearing highly oriented pyrolytic graphite with blue tape. After transferring to PDMS glue, the graphene layer with a thickness of about 5 nm was selected by optical microscope and atomic force microscope, and the exfoliated graphene film was deposited on the methacrylate copolymer transfer mold.
[0087] Step 8: Transferring graphene film to target substrate using methacrylate copolymer
[0088] The substrate sample containing boron nitride was placed on a support, the ambient temperature was set to 75-100°C, and the source-drain metal electrode group with a pitch of 40 μm prepared in step 4: metal electrode evaporation was selected. Then the copolymer with graphene sheet was aligned to the selected metal electrode group, the mask on the polymer side was lowered onto the heated substrate, and the polymer was contacted with the substrate surface and melted to adhere to the substrate. A substrate-bottom gate-copolymer structure with graphene bottom gate was obtained.
[0089] Step 9: Removing methacrylate attached to the substrate
[0090] The substrate-bottom gate-copolymer structure was soaked in acetone solution for 30 min to remove the methacrylate polymer, and then washed with isopropanol to obtain a large-area transferred graphene sheet as the bottom gate of the GAA device.
[0091] Step 10: Transferring h-BN dielectric layer
[0092] The h-BN two-dimensional material peeled off in step 5 was transferred using a transfer tape. The thickness of the layer was confirmed to be 20 nm by atomic force microscope before transfer. The air pump was turned on, the carrier and clean glass sheet were adsorbed, and the material was placed down on the transfer platform. After aligning the target substrate to the marked position, the knob was slowly adjusted to make the h-BN contact with the target substrate. After waiting for 5 min, the knob was slowly adjusted to separate the carrier and the target substrate, ensuring that the h-BN was well attached between the graphene gate under the action of van der Waals force. A transistor bottom gate structure was obtained.
[0093] Step 11: Transferring β-Ga2O3 film
[0094] The β-Ga2O3 film on the blue tape was transferred with PDMS glue. Under the optical microscope, the material with a thickness of about 100 nm and uniform thickness was slowly attached to the area above the deposited back gate and gate dielectric on the insulating substrate using the cantilever beam of the transfer platform. A pressure of 1200 g / cm2 was applied to the adhesive tape part, and after 40 s, the tape was peeled off, transferring the nano β-Ga2O3 film to the substrate and boron nitride dielectric.
[0095] Step 12: Transferring gate dielectric and graphene gate over the channel layer
[0096] By the same process in step 8, the thickness of the h-BN two-dimensional material is confirmed to be 20 nm by atomic force microscopy. After aligning the position of the mark, slowly adjust the knob to make the h-BN contact the target substrate, wait for 5 min, slowly adjust the knob to separate the carrier and the target substrate, and deposit hexagonal boron nitride gate dielectric over the channel layer. Then, again use the methyl methacrylate polymer with mechanically exfoliated graphene material of 20 nm thickness to cover the gallium oxide channel and the gate dielectric, keep the graphene covered part of the gate dielectric and have a certain area of contact with the bottom gate, then set the substrate temperature at 80°C, and place the transfer film close to the sample, so that the copolymer adheres to the substrate. After cooling, soak and rinse with acetone and isopropanol respectively to remove the methyl methacrylate polymer, and complete the fabrication of a layer of GAA structure.
[0097] Step 13: Transferring h-BN gate dielectric to the top gate
[0098] First, use atomic force microscopy to observe the h-BN thin film material on the transfer glue, find the h-BN two-dimensional material with an area sufficient to cover the graphene gate and a thickness of about 50 nm, then use the transfer platform to align the device fabrication area, slowly lower the mechanical cantilever to the surface, apply pressure to transfer the boron nitride to the first layer of full-encircling structure of the device, which is the bottom gate-gate dielectric-channel-dielectric-top gate.
[0099] Step 14: Fabricating the second layer of stacked full-encircling gate
[0100] Repeat steps 9-10 above to build another layer of the same repeated stacked structure on the basis of the single-layer gallium oxide channel GAA device. Use the transfer platform to slowly place the PDMS with the β-Ga2O3 thin film layer close to the area above the insulating substrate where the back gate and gate dielectric have been deposited, apply pressure to the adhesive tape area, and after 40 s, peel off the tape. Then, align the 20 nm thick h-BN determined by atomic force microscopy to contact the gallium oxide channel layer 2 through the transfer platform, wait for 5 min, slowly separate the carrier and the tape to obtain the gate dielectric covering the channel, and then again cover the methyl methacrylate polymer with mechanically exfoliated graphene material on the gallium oxide channel and the gate dielectric. Set the substrate temperature at 80°C, place the transfer film close to the sample, and make the copolymer adhere to the substrate. After cooling, soak and rinse with acetone and isopropanol respectively to remove the methyl methacrylate polymer, and obtain the second layer of gallium oxide full-encircling structure.
[0101] Step 15: Annealing to form ohmic contact
[0102] The prepared gallium oxide laminated full-encircling gate field effect tube is placed into an annealing instrument, an annealing temperature is set as 480 ℃, annealing is performed for 60 min under N2 atmosphere, so that the metal electrode and the material form a good ohmic contact, and the device is completed.
