The theoretical breakdown field strength is three times that of SiC and GaN materials. It not only has physical properties such as high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, and strong radiation resistance that are superior to SiC and GaN, but also has other unique material properties, such as photoelectric detection characteristics in the deep ultraviolet band and highly sensitive gas-sensitive characteristics, with the transparency of sapphire and the conductivity of SiC. At the same time, the low-cost and low-energy melt (Melt-Growth) preparation process of large-inch gallium oxide substrates has become increasingly mature, and high-quality N-type Ga can be obtained through molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and other methods. 2 O 3 Epitaxial layer, so it has a large application space in high-frequency, high-power devices, ultraviolet photodetectors, transparent conductive films, etc. It has broad application prospects in aerospace, military, and nuclear energy, and has become an emerging research direction that has attracted attention from industry and academia.

[0062] The heterogeneous integrated substrate 20 includes, from bottom to top, a first substrate 21, a bonding intermediate layer 22 having a corundum crystal structure, an ion implantation layer 24 and a β-Ga 2 O 3 Layer 23.
[0063] This embodiment provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned SBD device, comprising the following steps:
[0064] Step 1: Reference Figure 2 , prepare β-Ga 2 O 3 Layer 23 has a thickness of 200 μm-600 μm and a size of 1-6 inches. 2 O 3 The layer 23 has a first surface 23a and a second surface 23b. 2 O3 Layer 23 is pre-treated and cleaned.
[0065] β-Ga 2 O 3 As an emerging wide bandgap semiconductor material, it is used as one of the semiconductor substrate materials of the heterogeneous integrated substrate 20 because of its bandgap width far exceeding that of SiC and GaN (4.7-4.9 eV), theoretical breakdown electric field (8 MV / cm) and low price relative to SiC and GaN substrates, which effectively improves the device performance of the dual-gate device.
[0066] For the β-Ga 2 O 3 Layer 23 is sequentially subjected to organic cleaning and inorganic cleaning;
[0067] The steps of the organic cleaning are as follows:
[0068] The first step is to use ethanol ultrasonic cleaning for 3 minutes; the second step is to use acetone ultrasonic cleaning for 3 minutes; the third step is to use ethanol ultrasonic cleaning for 3 minutes; the fourth step is to use deionized water or ultrapure water to rinse for 3 minutes; the fifth step is to use running deionized water to rinse for 5 minutes;
[0069] The inorganic cleaning steps are as follows:
[0070] The first step is to soak in deionized water or ultrapure water and heat to 90°C; the second step is to prepare SPM solution according to the volume ratio of deionized water: 30% hydrogen peroxide: 96% concentrated sulfuric acid = 1:1:4, and soak in SPM solution for 5 minutes;
[0071] Optionally, in the second step, a Piranha solution is prepared according to a volume ratio of 30% hydrogen peroxide: 98% concentrated sulfuric acid = 1:3, and the Piranha solution is used for soaking for 1 minute; in the third step, deionized water or ultrapure water is used for soaking and heated to 90° C., and then cooled to room temperature.
[0072] Step 2: Reference Figure 3 , for the β-Ga prepared in step 1 2 O 3 Ion implantation is performed on the second surface 23b of the layer 23 to form an ion implantation layer 24. The implanted ions may be H, Fe, or Mg. The implantation angle is 7° to facilitate subsequent heterogeneous substrate bonding.

For high-power applications, excessive internal junction temperature of the device will significantly affect the overall electrical performance (on-resistance, on-current, etc.) and temperature reliability (service life) of the device. Therefore, SiC is used as the first substrate 21 in this embodiment.
[0075] refer to Figure 5 The bonding intermediate layer 23 is grown on the surface of the first substrate 21 by using a plasma enhanced PEALD process.

Preferably, the β-Ga 2 O 3 The film thickness is between 60-100nm, and the thickness can be tested by ellipsometry or step analyzer. 2 O 3 The method of thinning the layer in the subsequent steps can reduce the 2 O 3 The difficulty of layer transfer is that the original β-Ga 2 O 3 The surface defects that may exist or be generated on the surface of the layer can be used to improve the surface quality and flatness of the material, and this process can also be applied to different β-Ga 2 O 3 Layer thickness requirements.
[0079] Then, magnetron sputtering metal combined with high temperature annealing is used to achieve ohmic contact on the lower surface 20b of the heterogeneous integrated substrate 20 to form a metal cathode 10.
