[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] See also Figures 4 and 5, a three-dimensional high-integration MOS transistor, comprising: a three-dimensional substrate 1, a plurality of devices spaced apart on the outer surface of the three-dimensional substrate 1, and an interconnect dielectric layer 11 covering the surface of the device and the surface of the three-dimensional substrate 1;
[0039] The device is a PMOS tube or an NMOS tube; the interconnection dielectric layer 11 has at least a plurality of interconnection metals 9 fixed therein, and the drains 7 of the devices, the sources 6 of the devices, and the gates 8 of the devices are connected one by one through the interconnection metals 9 .
[0040] It should be known that the three-dimensional substrate 1 has a certain thickness in three-dimensional directions, preferably the thickness in each direction is equal, and a plurality of devices are preferably integrated on the surface of the three-dimensional substrate 1 at uniform intervals.
[0041] Among the devices on the surface of the three-dimensional substrate 1, the gates 8, the sources 6, and the drains 7 of at least two devices are connected by interconnecting metal 9 to form a group of integrated NMOS or PMOS. Different groups of integrated NMOS or PMOS can be integrated into other identical or different circuits. In this embodiment, Figure 4 The partial cross-sectional view of the MOS transistor shown only provides an example of integrating two devices on the three-dimensional substrate 1. In other embodiments, the MOS transistor may also integrate multiple groups of devices.
[0042] The interconnection metal 9 is used to provide electrical connection conditions between the source electrodes 6 , the drain electrodes 7 , and the gate electrodes 8 of each device, and the interconnection dielectric layer 11 can provide a platform for the interconnection metal 9 to adhere.
[0043] The interconnection dielectric layer 11 can be a single layer or multiple layers. The devices can be interconnected by setting interconnection metals 9 on the surface of the interconnection dielectric layer 11 at different levels, or they can be interconnected by only one layer of the interconnection dielectric layer 11. However, the basic condition is that the interconnection metals 9 used for interconnecting the source electrodes 6, the interconnection metals 9 used for interconnecting the drain electrodes 7, and the interconnection metals 9 used for interconnecting the gate electrodes 8 cannot cross or contact each other. In the case of a large number of integrated devices, it is difficult to avoid the crossing and contact of the three when the interconnection dielectric layer 11 has only one layer. Therefore, it is preferred that the interconnection dielectric layer 11 has multiple layers.
[0044] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional highly integrated MOS transistor has the following advantages: (1) the three-dimensional structure of the substrate is used to provide a better heat dissipation effect for the MOS transistor, which can effectively solve the heat dissipation problem of the MOS transistor; (2) on the basis of the better heat dissipation effect provided by the three-dimensional substrate 1, a plurality of devices can be integrated on the MOS transistor, and the source 6, the drain 7, and the gate 8 of each device are correspondingly connected through the interconnection metal 9, which fully improves the power density and current density of the MOS transistor and effectively improves the performance of the MOS transistor; (3) the interconnection metal 9 is fixed to at least the inside of the interconnection dielectric layer 11, and the interconnection dielectric layer 11 covers the outermost layer of the MOS transistor. The interconnection metal 9 can be led out through the metal wire by etching the interconnection dielectric layer 11, so that the MOS transistor capable of outputting a large current can be further integrated into various application scenarios, greatly expanding the application scope of the MOS transistor.
[0045] Furthermore, the device is a PMOS tube, and the device includes a first dielectric layer 2 arranged on the surface of a three-dimensional substrate 1, a GaN buffer layer 3 arranged on the side of the first dielectric layer 2 away from the three-dimensional substrate 1, a GaN channel layer 4 arranged on the side of the GaN buffer layer 3 away from the first dielectric layer 2, two p-GaN layers 5 arranged at intervals on the side of the GaN channel layer 4 away from the GaN buffer layer 3, a source 6 arranged on the surface of one p-GaN layer 5, a drain 7 arranged on the surface of the other p-GaN layer 5, a gate 8 arranged on the side of the GaN channel layer 4 away from the GaN buffer layer 3, and an insulating dielectric layer 10 that at least isolates the GaN channel layer 4 and the gate 8.
[0046] It should be known that MOS tubes include NMOS tubes and PMOS tubes. NMOS tubes refer to MOS tubes with p-type substrates and n-channels, which carry current by the flow of holes. PMOS tubes refer to MOS tubes with n-type substrates and p-channels, which carry current by the flow of holes.
[0047] In this embodiment, when the MOS tube is a PMOS tube, a gallium nitride substrate is used, and the first dielectric layer 2 forms a buffer layer between the three-dimensional substrate 1 and the GaN buffer layer 3, which can reduce the stress caused by the lattice mismatch between the three-dimensional substrate 1 and the GaN buffer layer 3 and the different thermal expansion coefficients, thereby improving the quality and integrity of the GaN buffer layer 3.
[0048] The insulating dielectric layer 10 is a gate oxide that separates the gate 8 from the source 6 and drain 7 near the gate 8, and also separates the gate 8 from the conductive path connecting the source 6 and drain 7 on the GaN channel layer 4 when the PMOS is turned on. In this embodiment, the insulating dielectric layer 10 is a layer of Al2O3 with a thickness of 50-80 nm. 2 O 3 .
[0049] The substrate is a three-dimensional substrate 1, which makes the heat dissipation effect of the PMOS tube better, effectively solves the defect that the gallium nitride-based PMOS tube cannot be highly integrated due to thermal limitations, makes the integration of the PMOS tube reach a new height, and greatly improves the performance of the MOS transistor.
[0050] In other embodiments, when the MOS device is an NMOS tube, the gallium nitride substrate in the PMOS can be replaced with a p-type silicon substrate, such as a SiC substrate, and a high-doping concentration n region can be formed on the silicon substrate. The insulating dielectric layer 10 on the surface of the NMOS tube can be SiO 2 .
[0051] Furthermore, the three-dimensional substrate 1 is in the shape of a sphere, a polyhedron or a cylinder. Figure 5 The figure shows an example in which the three-dimensional substrate 1 is a sphere in this embodiment.
[0052] Furthermore, the three-dimensional substrate 1 is spherical, and the diameter of the sphere is 50-60 μm;
[0053] Or, the three-dimensional substrate 1 is in the shape of a polyhedron, and the diameter of the circumscribed sphere corresponding to the polyhedron is 50-60 μm;
[0054] Alternatively, the three-dimensional substrate 1 is in a cylindrical shape, with a diameter of 50-60 μm and a height of 50-60 μm.
[0055] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can prepare the three-dimensional substrate 1 by microwave plasma chemical deposition and other methods. The particle size of the three-dimensional substrate 1 is at the micron level, which greatly reduces the device size and is conducive to the miniaturization of PMOS. A spherical three-dimensional substrate 1 is preferably used for preparation and surface treatment.
[0056] Furthermore, the three-dimensional substrate 1 is a diamond or boron nitride substrate.
[0057] The thermal conductivity of the substrate materials commonly used in power devices (sapphire, silicon, silicon carbide) is low, which greatly limits the demand for device heat dissipation and high-power performance. Diamond and boron nitride are both heat dissipation materials with high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficient. The use of high thermal conductivity diamond or boron nitride heat dissipation substrates can meet the heat dissipation requirements of PMOS under high power and realize the application of high-power PMOS.
[0058] Furthermore, the material of the first dielectric layer is AlN, SiO 2 or Si 3 N 4 In any one of the above embodiments, the thickness of the first dielectric layer is 20-50 nm.
[0059] Specifically, the first dielectric layer 2 is used as a buffer layer between the three-dimensional substrate 1 and the GaN buffer layer 3, and AlN, SiO 2 or Si3 N 4 Any of the materials can alleviate the stress caused by the lattice mismatch and different thermal expansion coefficients between the three-dimensional substrate 1 and the GaN buffer layer 3. At the same time, these materials have excellent thermal conductivity and strong thermal stability, which greatly improves the heat dissipation capacity of the MOS transistor.
[0060] Furthermore, the dopant of the GaN buffer layer 3 is C, and the doping concentration is 2×10 18 cm -3 , the thickness of the GaN buffer layer 3 is 10~40μm;
[0061] The dopant of the GaN channel layer 4 is Si, and the doping concentration is 2×10 16 cm -3 ~5×10 16 cm -3 , the thickness of the GaN channel layer 4 is 5 to 20 μm;
[0062] The dopant of each p-GaN layer 5 is Mg, and the doping concentration is 1.2×10 19 cm -3 ~5×10 19 cm -3 .
[0063] Further, the interconnect dielectric layer 11 has at least multiple layers;
[0064] The gates 8 of the devices are interconnected through the interconnection metal 9 on the outermost layer of the interconnection dielectric layer 11;
[0065] The source electrodes 6 and the drain electrodes 7 of each device are interconnected through interconnection metals 9 on different layers of the interconnection dielectric layer 11 except the outermost layer.
[0066] The main purpose of setting up multiple interconnection dielectric layers 11 is to ensure that the interconnection metals 9 of the source 6, the drain 7 and the gate 8 will not cross each other on the surface of the same interconnection dielectric layer 11. When multiple devices are integrated on the three-dimensional substrate 1, only setting up one interconnection dielectric layer 11 cannot completely ensure that the interconnection metals 9 connecting the source 6, the drain 7, and the gate 8 will not cross each other.
[0067] Furthermore, the material of the interconnect dielectric layer 11 is AlN, SiO 2 or Si 3 N 4 In any one of the above, the thickness of each layer of the interconnect dielectric layer 11 is 1-5 μm.
[0068] The interconnect dielectric layer 11 is on the outermost side of the MOS transistor, and AlN, SiO 2 or Si 3 N 4The interconnect dielectric layer 11 made of the materials plays the role of isolating various devices, supporting the interconnect metal 9 and dissipating heat. These materials have excellent thermal conductivity and strong thermal stability, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of PMOS.
[0069] Here, an embodiment is provided, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, a three-dimensional substrate made of spherical diamond material with a diameter of 50 μm and an outer surface roughness of less than 0.3 nm is selected, and a plurality of PMOS tubes are arranged at intervals on the outer surface of the three-dimensional substrate.
[0070] The PMOS tube includes:
[0071] The first dielectric layer AlN layer disposed on the surface of the three-dimensional substrate 1 has a thickness of 30 nm; the GaN buffer layer 3 disposed on the side of the first dielectric layer 2 away from the three-dimensional substrate 1 has a thickness of 20 μm, and C is used as a dopant with a doping concentration of 2×10 18 cm -3 The GaN channel layer 4 is disposed on the side of the GaN buffer layer 3 away from the first dielectric layer 2, and Si is used as a dopant with a doping concentration of 2×10 16 cm -3 ~5×10 16 cm -3 ; Two p-GaN layers 5 are arranged at intervals on the side of the GaN channel layer 4 away from the GaN buffer layer 3, and Mg is used as a dopant with a doping concentration of 1.2×10 19 cm -3 ~2×10 19 cm -3 ; a source electrode 6 disposed on the surface of a p-GaN layer 5, the source electrode 6 is a stacked metal Ti (25 nm) / Au (75 nm) or Ti (25 nm) / Al (75 nm) / Ni (25 nm) / Au (75 nm); a drain electrode 7 disposed on the surface of another p-GaN layer 5, the drain electrode 7 is a stacked metal Ti (25 nm) / Au (75 nm) or Ti (25 nm) / Al (75 nm) / Ni (25 nm) / Au (75 nm); a gate electrode 8 disposed on the GaN channel layer 4 away from the GaN buffer layer 3, the gate electrode 8 is a stacked metal (25 nm) / Al (75 nm) / Ni (25 nm) / Au (75 nm); at least the insulating dielectric layer 10 isolating the GaN channel layer 4 and the gate electrode 8 is Al 2 O 3 layer with a thickness of 50~80nm.
[0072] The interconnect dielectric layer 11 has three layers, and an AlN layer is selected. The interconnect metal 9 between the source electrodes 6 of each device is fixed to the innermost layer of the interconnect dielectric layer 11, the interconnect metal 9 between the drain electrodes 7 of each device is fixed to the middle layer of the interconnect dielectric layer 11, and the interconnect metal 9 between the gate electrodes 8 of each device is fixed to the outermost layer of the interconnect dielectric layer 11. The thickness of each layer is 2 μm. The interconnect metal 9 is made of Au material.
[0073] The typical feature of this PMOS transistor is that it uses a spherical diamond substrate to epitaxially grow a gallium nitride base, and ions are implanted into the GaN channel layer 4 to form multiple p-GaN layers 5. It has obvious advantages. It utilizes the extremely high thermal conductivity of the spherical diamond three-dimensional substrate 1 to effectively solve the problem of device heat dissipation. The source electrodes 6, drain electrodes 7, and gate electrodes 8 of several devices on each spherical diamond three-dimensional substrate 1 are electrically connected to each other, which fully improves the power density and current density. The electrodes are connected by an interconnecting metal 9 to facilitate the lead-out of gold wires. The transistor can be integrated into other circuits to output large currents, and has a variety of application scenarios.
