Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of radio frequency technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a high electron mobility gallium oxide field effect transistor and a transistor. Background Art

[0002] Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) material is an emerging ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor material. The most common crystal structures include α, β, γ, δ, ε and transitional κ phases. The energy band gap reaches 4.8-5.2eV, and the breakdown electric field is as high as 8MV / cm, which is 2.5 times that of GaN and more than 3 times that of SiC. Due to the advantages of high voltage resistance and low power consumption, Ga2O3 material has broad application value in the preparation of high-temperature, high-frequency and high-power power electronic devices in the future.

[0003] However, the electron mobility of Ga2O3 materials is low, with a theoretical limit of only 300 cm 2 / V·s, and due to epitaxy and process reasons, the maximum electron mobility of Ga2O3 field-effect transistors reported so far at room temperature is only 180cm 2 / V·s, compared with field-effect transistors made of other materials, its low electron mobility limits its application in high-power and high-frequency applications.

[0004] Among other semiconductors, many materials have electron mobility significantly better than Ga2O3. For example, GaN has a higher electron mobility of -1200cm 2 / V·s, the 2DEG electron mobility of the high electron mobility field effect transistor composed of AlGaN / GaN heterojunction can reach up to 2200cm 2 / V·s, and the lattice mismatch between GaN and Ga2O3 is small, which can achieve quasi-homogeneous epitaxy. In addition, the variable component InAlGaN, AlGaN and other materials composed of it can also flexibly participate in the band adjustment project, bringing more possibilities to the design of Ga2O3 field effect transistors.

[0005] Prior art solution 1 is a Ga2O3 metal oxide field effect transistor, which forms a low-resistance source-drain contact by contacting heavily n-type doped Ga2O3 with metal, etches part of the Ga2O3 channel in the area under the gate to increase the gate control capability, and then uses Al2O3 dielectric to isolate the gate metal from the channel, reducing the reverse gate leakage of the device and improving the switching ratio of the device.

[0006] However, the electron mobility of the transistor device prepared by the prior art 1 is low. Due to the inherent characteristics of the Ga2O3 material, the mobility of such field effect transistors is currently low, and most of the devices reported are below 100 cm 2 / V·s or so.

[0007] The prior art solution 2 forms a two-dimensional electron gas through an AlGaO / Ga2O3 heterojunction and combines it with a delta doping method of an AlGaO barrier layer to increase the electron mobility of the field effect transistor.

[0008] However, the mobility of the transistor device prepared by the prior art solution 2 is greatly improved compared with the gallium oxide MOSFET, but the maximum is only 180cm 2 / V·s, still very low. Summary of the invention

[0009] Based on the above description, the present application provides a high electron mobility to solve the technical problem of low electron mobility of field effect transistors.

[0110]

[0111] The method for preparing a high electron mobility gallium oxide field effect transistor provided in the present application is based on the Ga2O3 material system, and proposes an AlGaO / high electron mobility semiconductor / Ga2O3 field effect transistor scheme. A semiconductor with high electron mobility is used as the channel layer of the Ga2O3 field effect transistor. The prepared Ga2O3 field effect transistor has the following technical effects:

[0112] (1) High mobility: Using semiconductors with high electron mobility as the channel layer of the Ga2O3 field-effect transistor solves the problem of low electron mobility of Ga2O3 materials and improves the output power and frequency characteristics of the device.

[0113] (2) High withstand voltage: Ga2O3 has a bandgap of up to 5eV and a critical breakdown field strength of up to 8MV / cm. Using it as a barrier layer can effectively improve the withstand voltage characteristics of the device;
