Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power electronic device preparation, and in particular to a SiC / GaN vertical FinFET device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Epitaxial wafer structures are required in the preparation of high-power switching devices. In the prior art, GaN (gallium nitride) and SiC (silicon carbide) are very suitable for manufacturing high-efficiency power switching devices because they have high critical breakdown electric fields and relatively large carrier mobility.
[0003] Due to the high-mobility 2D electron gas (2DEG) and small terminal capacitance, most of the GaN devices currently used are based on planar GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). However, adjusting the rated voltage of GaN HEMTs to above 650V requires expanding the lateral dimensions (increasing the distance between the gate and the drain), resulting in very low benefits per unit cost.
[0004] On the other hand, vertical power devices are more competitive in providing high-voltage blocking capabilities because they only need to increase the thickness of the vertical drift region without expanding the device area, and are easier to manage heat and package. Usually, a local pn junction is formed by p-type injection or p-type epitaxial technology to achieve an effective voltage blocking structure. However, the p-type hole mobility of GaN and SiC is not high, resulting in a large channel resistance R channel , and PN-type devices have a higher turn-on voltage, which further limits the operating frequency of the device.
[0005] However, due to the high difficulty of GaN epitaxy required for fully vertical GaN power devices, it is difficult for heterogeneous GaN epitaxial layers to reach a very high thickness, resulting in high costs; in addition, the complete GaN material exhibits a serious lack of avalanche resistance and is prone to destructive breakdown; in addition, in the existing technology of using GaN to prepare epitaxial wafer structures, thick ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor AlN and AlGaN materials are usually used as buffer layers, but in actual applications, thick AlN and AlGaN buffer layers have poor conductivity.
[0006] In summary, the existing technology of using GaN or SiC to prepare SiC / GaN vertical FinFET devices has the technical problems of high preparation cost and insufficient avalanche resistance of the prepared FinFET devices. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of this, the purpose of the present application is to provide a SiC / GaN vertical FinFET device and a preparation method to solve the technical problems of high preparation cost and insufficient avalanche resistance of the FinFET device in the existing technology of using GaN or SiC to prepare FinFET devices.

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0041] First, the present application provides an embodiment of a SiC / GaN vertical FinFET device, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the SiC / GaN vertical FinFET device in the embodiment of the present application includes: a drain layer 110, a n + Type SiC substrate 210, n - type SiC homoepitaxial layer 220, buffer layer 310 and n - type GaN epitaxial layer 410, and n + type GaN epitaxial layer 420 , source layer 120 and gate layer 130 .
[0042] Among them, n - The top side of the GaN epitaxial layer 410 is recessed and provided with a plurality of grooves.
[0043] The buffer layer is a two-dimensional material film or a highly doped Al(Ga)N film, and the thickness of the buffer layer 310 is 0.2 μm to 50 μm. + The n-type GaN epitaxial layer 420 is located at - The source layer 120 is located at the top side of the convex portion between two adjacent grooves in the n-type GaN epitaxial layer 410. + The top side of the GaN epitaxial layer 420 is provided; the gate layer 130 is located in the groove. The gate layer 130 includes: a metal layer 1301, an Al2O3 layer 1302 and a SiO2 layer 1303. The Al2O3 layer 1302 and the SiO2 layer 1303 are gate dielectrics.
[0044] Specifically, SiC and GaN in the embodiments of the present application are all n-type materials, avoiding the use of p-type material regions, and also have the advantages of low resistance and high switching frequency. In practical applications, high switching frequency is conducive to further reducing the size of the device. The substance doped in the highly doped Al(Ga)N film is Si.
[0045] The n used in this application embodiment +The thermal conductivity of the conductive type SiC substrate 210 is 420 W / (m·K), which is much higher than the thermal conductivity of the GaN substrate of 130-200 W / (m·K), the thermal conductivity of the Si substrate of 100 W / (m·K), and the thermal conductivity of the sapphire substrate of 25 W / (m·K). + The type SiC substrate 210 and the thicker low-doped n - The SiC homoepitaxial layer 220 is a choice with both performance and cost advantages.
[0046] In practical applications, compared with the high cost and small size (the maximum commercial size is only 2 to 4 inches) of the substrate material GaN in the prior art, which leads to the problem of high device preparation cost, the present invention embodiment n + type SiC substrate 210 and n - The material SiC of the homoepitaxial SiC layer 220 is developing rapidly in the industry, so the cost will also decrease rapidly, and the size can be further increased, so the technical solution of the present application can save costs in the preparation of the substrate layer and the epitaxial layer. - Type GaN epitaxial layer 410, n + The GaN epitaxial layer 420 fully utilizes the advantages of high electron mobility, high saturation drift velocity and high breakdown field strength of GaN materials.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, n - Type GaN epitaxial layer 410 and n + Type GaN epitaxial layer 420, to achieve bevel cutting n - Type 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layer and n - Type GaN epitaxial layer 410, n + The GaN epitaxial layer 420 is integrated into the same wafer, overcoming the technical limitation of the prior art that requires thicker AlN and AlGaN buffer layers, and achieving direct epitaxy of higher-quality GaN heterostructures, thereby obtaining high-voltage and high-reliability SiC / GaN vertical FinFET devices.
[0049] In one implementation, n - The thickness of the SiC homoepitaxial layer 220 is 8 μm to 100 μm; - Type GaN epitaxial layer 410 and n +The total thickness of the stacked GaN epitaxial layer 420 is 1 μm to 30 μm. + Type SiC substrates include: - The SiC substrate buffer layer is bonded to the SiC homoepitaxial layer. The thickness of the SiC substrate buffer layer is 0.1 μm to 4 μm.
[0050] Specifically, in practical applications, low-doped n - The thickness of the SiC homoepitaxial layer 220 should be set thicker, so that the obtained n - The n-type SiC homoepitaxial layer 220 has better avalanche resistance than the n-type GaN drift region, and can improve the working stability of the device.
[0051] n - The doping concentration of the GaN epitaxial layer 410 is 1E15-2E16 cm -3 , n + The doping concentration of the GaN epitaxial layer 420 is 5E18 to 2.5E20 cm -3 .
[0052] It should be emphasized that n - Type GaN epitaxial layer 410 and n + The total thickness of the stacked GaN epitaxial layer 420 is n - The thickness of the GaN epitaxial layer 410 is n - The entire thickness of the convex portion between the two grooves in the GaN epitaxial layer 410.

Correspondingly, the buffer layer 310 can be a single atomic layer or a single atomic layer of graphene single crystal film. In practical applications, the graphene single crystal film can also be replaced by other van der Waals two-dimensional material films, such as NbSe2, and the remote epitaxy of the surface of the van der Waals two-dimensional material film can be used to alleviate the lattice mismatch between III-Nitride and the substrate, and epitaxially produce higher quality III-Nitride heterostructures and high-performance devices.
[0055] In the prior art, the buffer layer 310 between the SiC substrate 210 or the SiC homoepitaxial layer 220 and the GaN epitaxial layer is usually based on coaxially beveled semi-insulating SiC. However, in practical applications, beveled SiC substrates may introduce incompatibility issues, such as lattice mismatch and uneven stress distribution, which may affect the performance and life of the device. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application are implemented by -The SiC homoepitaxial layer 220 is covered with a two-dimensional material film to alleviate the vertical stacking mismatch effect that occurs in the conventional epitaxial 2H III-Nitride of the bevel-cut 4H-SiC.
[0056] In summary, the embodiment of the present application sets n - The type SiC homoepitaxial layer 220 has the advantages of strong avalanche resistance compared to the n-type GaN drift layer in the prior art and reduces the preparation cost of the prior art that uses GaN as the epitaxial layer completely; the present application can also use a two-dimensional material film or a highly doped Al(Ga)N film as the n-type GaN drift layer. - Type SiC homoepitaxial layer 220 and n - The buffer layer between the GaN epitaxial layers 410 is formed. Compared with the prior art using Si-doped materials and thicker Al(Ga)N materials as buffer layers, the embodiments of the present application reduce the difficulty of generating the buffer layer, and thus reduce the preparation cost.
