Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and in particular relates to a GaN-based transistor and a manufacturing method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a third-generation semiconductor, GaN is the future development direction for solid-state microwave power devices and power electronics due to its advantages, such as high electron saturation drift velocity, wide bandgap, high temperature resistance, and high breakdown field strength. Currently, GaN applications in the power and RF industries are primarily based on GaN HEMTs. This single structure fails to fully demonstrate the advantages of GaN devices at high frequencies and high voltages. Furthermore, current research in academia and industry primarily focuses on n-channel devices. A true GaN complementary logic integrated circuit requires p-channel devices, and achieving high-performance p-channel devices is challenging. Existing p-channel devices are often constructed by forming a p-type doped region within an n-GaN substrate. This suffers from limited doping efficiency, low activation rate, and material damage, making it difficult to achieve high-performance GaN PMOS device structures. This has hindered the development and application of GaN CMOS logic circuits. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The present invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The drawings are provided for illustrative purposes only to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and their specific proportions may be adjusted according to design requirements. Those skilled in the art will understand that the vertical relationships between components and the definitions of front and back in the figures described herein refer to the relative positions of components. Therefore, they can be flipped to present the same components, and all such representations are within the scope of this specification.
[0043] Example 1
[0044] refer to Figure 1 The epitaxial structure of the GaN-based transistor of Example 1 includes, in order, a substrate 1, an N-GaN layer 2, a U-GaN layer 3 (an unintentionally doped GaN layer), and an InGaN layer 4, as well as a gate dielectric layer 5, a source S, a drain D, and a gate G disposed on the InGaN layer 4. The substrate 1 can be made of, for example, Si, SiC, sapphire, or a free-standing substrate; the N-GaN layer 2 has an N-type doping concentration of 1E18 to 3E19 cm -3 , for example, in 5×10 18 cm -3 ~1×10 19 cm -3 The intrinsic carrier concentration of the U-GaN layer 3 is less than 5E17 cm -3 More preferably, the intrinsic carrier concentration of the U-GaN layer 3 is less than 5E16 cm -3 , thickness 2~4μm; the intrinsic carrier concentration of InGaN layer 4 is less than 1E17 cm -3 More preferably, the intrinsic carrier concentration of the InGaN layer 4 is less than 5E16 cm -3 The thickness is 200-400 nm, and the In component content is 1%-2%, more preferably 1%-1.5%. The InGaN layer 4 has a P-type source region a and a P-type drain region b implanted with Mg ions, with an ion implantation dose of 1E13 cm -2 ~ 1E14 cm -2 The P-type source region a and P-type drain region b are doped with Mg, and the Mg doping concentration is 1E19~1E20 cm -3 The source S and drain D are respectively arranged on the P-type source region a and the P-type drain region b and form ohmic contacts. The source S and drain D are arranged opposite to each other. The gate G is arranged between the source S and the drain D and is separated from the InGaN layer 4 by a gate dielectric layer 5. The gate dielectric layer 5 is 10~30 nm of Al2O3.
[0045] The following references Figure 2(a) to Figure 2(f) A method for manufacturing the above-mentioned GaN-based transistor will be described.
[0046] Referring to Figure 2(a), an N-GaN layer 2, a U-GaN layer 3, and an InGaN layer 4 are sequentially grown on a substrate 1 using an epitaxial growth process. The InGaN layer 4 is grown at a temperature greater than 800°C, preferably 800-900°C. The higher growth temperature ensures the quality of InGaN crystal growth and reduces the incorporation of impurity defects. The In composition is preferably 1%-1.5%, and the thickness is, for example, 300 nm. The U-GaN layer 3 is provided to improve the breakdown performance of the pMOS and reduce the gate electron injection effect.
[0047] Referring to Figure 2 (b), a 30 nm thick SiN layer is deposited on the surface of the InGaN layer 4 by ICPCVD as the first dielectric protection layer V1. A P-type source region a and a P-type drain region b are formed by selective Mg ion implantation. The ion implantation energy is 15-40 KeV. For example, the ion implantation energy is 20 KeV and the dose is 6E13 cm -2 The injection depth is equal to the thickness of the InGaN layer 4, with the first dielectric protective layer V1 acting as a buffer. Under these conditions, damage to the GaN is minimal, resulting in fewer defects and less hole compensation after p-type activation. The widths of the P-type source region a and the P-type drain region b are, for example, 100 to 200 μm, with 150 μm being an example. Their spacing, i.e., the channel length, is 200 to 1000 nm, with 1 μm being an example. The channel distance is minimized while avoiding the short channel effect and considering lithography accuracy. This is because GaN holes have low mobility, and the activation rate of injection activation is currently not as high as that of epitaxy. Shortening the distance enhances its gate control effect. The area selection process can be implemented using a patterned shielding layer, for example. After the ion implantation is completed, the first dielectric protective layer V1 is removed.
[0048] Referring to Figure 2(c), a stack of 20 nm ALD-grown SiO2 and 300 nm LPCVD-grown SiN is sequentially deposited on the surface of the InGaN layer 4 as a second dielectric protective layer V2. Annealing is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 1100-1250°C for 1-8 hours. The second dielectric protective layer V2 protects the GaN from corrosion and decomposition at high temperatures during annealing, and its removal process has minimal impact on the GaN. The small amount of In doping in the InGaN layer 4 reduces the activation energy of Mg ion implantation into the GaN, improving activation efficiency while maintaining high crystal quality. For example, the annealing condition parameters are: temperature 1250°C, N2 atmosphere, time 1h, normal pressure. Under these conditions, the injection lattice damage can be effectively repaired and the holes can be activated. At the same time, this is also the highest temperature that GaN can withstand without decomposition under normal pressure, and it has a high activation rate. In another embodiment, the annealing condition parameters are: 1100°C, N2 atmosphere, 8h, normal pressure. Under these conditions, extending the annealing time at a lower temperature can reduce the damage to the surface caused by high temperature, repair the injection lattice damage, and activate the holes. Thus, a high-performance semiconductor structure is obtained to meet the needs of the device. After the annealing process is completed, the second dielectric protective layer V2 is removed.
[0049] Referring to Figure 2(d), a p-type ohmic contact was prepared using a Ni / Au = 10 / 10 nm metal. Annealing was performed in an oxygen atmosphere at 550°C for 10 minutes. A source electrode S and a drain electrode D were formed on the P-type source region a and P-type drain region b, respectively. On the channel side, the edges of the source electrode S and drain electrode D were retracted relative to the edges of the P-type source region a and P-type drain region b to leave space for the gate.
[0050] Referring to Figure 2(e), a 20 nm thick layer of Al₂O₃ is deposited as the gate dielectric layer 5 using an ALD process at a growth temperature of 350°C. The Al source reacts with ozone to form the gate dielectric layer 5. This gate dielectric layer 5 covers both the source electrode S and the drain electrode D. In subsequent fabrication steps, holes can be selectively opened in these electrodes to facilitate external connections. Al₂O₃ is used as the gate dielectric layer to regulate the pMOS threshold and serves as the gate dielectric for MOS structures. During mass production of devices on a wafer, this step can be followed by insulating implantation to isolate the individual devices on the wafer. In other embodiments, the gate dielectric layer 5 can be made of silicon nitride or silicon oxide.
[0051] Referring to Figure 2(f), a gate metal (Ni / Au = 50 / 150nm) is evaporated on the gate dielectric layer 5 between the source S and drain D. Annealing is performed at 400°C for 5 minutes to reduce gate leakage, thereby forming the gate G and the final GaN p-MOS device. The sides of the gate G extend at least 0.5μm beyond the channel length and are at least 4μm from the source S and drain D. The sides of the gate G overlap above the P-type source region a and the P-type drain region b, enhancing the gate's control over the channel and changing the turn-on voltage.
[0052] In addition, in other embodiments, the gate dielectric layer 5 may be deposited first, the gate dielectric layer 5 located above the P-type source region a and the P-type drain region b may be opened, and then the P ohmic contact may be prepared.
[0053] Example 2
[0054] refer to Figure 3 The GaN-based transistor of Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that it also includes mesa etching, the etching depth reaches the surface of the N-GaN layer 2, and an N-type ohmic contact is made on the N-GaN layer 2 to form a back electrode 6. The back electrode 6 serves as an n-type contact layer for regulating the threshold voltage, thereby preparing a triode device. The metal of the back electrode 6 is Ti / Al / Ni / Au=20 / 20 / 50 / 150 nm. Due to the heavy doping of the N-GaN layer 2, an ohmic contact can be formed without annealing the N-type ohmic. The steps of mesa etching and back electrode 6 production can be performed before the preparation of the gate metal, or can be adjusted according to actual needs. The distance between the back metal 6 and the mesa etching edge is preferably 20~30 μm, which can achieve better regulation performance.
[0055] Example 3
[0056] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The semiconductor device of Example 3 has an epitaxial structure that includes a substrate 1, an N-GaN layer 2, a U-GaN layer 3, and an InGaN layer 4 in sequence, and is provided with a transistor region A and a diode region B. The transistor formed in the transistor region is a pMOS transistor, and the diode formed in the diode region is a PN junction diode. The arrangement of the epitaxial structure is the same as that of Example 1, and a GaN-based transistor structure as in Example 1 is formed in the transistor region A. In the diode region, the InGaN layer 4 has an ion-implanted P-type junction region c and a P-type field limiting ring region d. The P-type field limiting ring region d is arranged outside the P-type junction region c, and a P electrode 7 is provided on the P-type junction region c. An N electrode 8 is provided on the etched mesa of the N-GaN layer 2 of the diode region B. The P-type junction region c and the P-type field limiting ring region d have, for example, the same ion implantation dose as the P-type source region a and the P-type drain region b, and the Mg ion implantation dose is 1E13 cm -2 ~ 1E14 cm -2 A first dielectric layer 9 is provided on the InGaN layer 4 of the diode region B. The first dielectric layer 9 can be provided on the same layer as the gate dielectric layer 5 .
[0057] The following references Figure 6(a) to Figure 6(g) A method for manufacturing the above-mentioned GaN-based transistor will be described.
[0058] Referring to Figure 6(a), an N-GaN layer 2, a U-GaN layer 3, and an InGaN layer 4 are sequentially grown on a substrate 1 using an epitaxial growth process. The InGaN layer 4 is grown at a temperature > 800°C, preferably with an In composition of 1% to 1.5%, and a thickness of 300 nm, for example. Transistor region A and diode region B are then planned.
[0059] Referring to Figure 6 (b), a 30 nm thick SiN layer is deposited on the surface of the InGaN layer 4 by ICPCVD as the first dielectric protective layer V1. A P-type source region a, a P-type drain region b, a P-type junction region c, and a P-type field limiting ring region d are formed by selective Mg ion implantation. The ion implantation energy is 15-40 KeV. For example, the ion implantation energy is 20 KeV and the dose is 6E13 cm -2 The implantation depth is equal to the thickness of the InGaN layer 4. The P-type source region a and the P-type drain region b are located in the transistor region A. The structure can refer to that of Example 1. The P-type junction region c and the P-type field-limiting ring region d are located in the diode region B. The spacing between the P-type junction region and the P-type field-limiting ring region is 200-2000 nm. When multiple P-type field-limiting ring regions d are present, the spacing between adjacent P-type field-limiting ring regions d is 200-1000 nm. After the ion implantation is completed, the first dielectric protective layer V1 is removed.
[0060] Referring to Figure 6(c), a stack of 20 nm ALD-grown SiO2 and 300 nm LPCVD-grown SiN layers is sequentially deposited on the surface of the InGaN layer 4 as the second dielectric protective layer V2. Annealing is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 1100-1250°C for 1-8 hours. For example, the annealing parameters are: 1250°C, N2 atmosphere, 1 hour, atmospheric pressure. These conditions effectively repair implanted lattice damage and activate holes. This is also the highest temperature GaN can withstand at atmospheric pressure without decomposition, resulting in a high activation rate. In another embodiment, the annealing parameters are: 1100°C, N2 atmosphere, 8 hours, atmospheric pressure. Under these conditions, a lower temperature and longer annealing time minimize high-temperature surface damage, repair implanted lattice damage, and activate holes. After the annealing process is completed, the second dielectric protective layer V2 is removed.
[0061] Referring to FIG6 (d), a p-type ohmic contact is prepared using Ni / Au=10 / 10 nm metal and annealing is performed in an oxygen atmosphere at a temperature of 550°C for 10 min. A source S and a drain D are formed on the P-type source region a and the P-type drain region b, respectively, and a P electrode 7 is formed on the P-type junction region c.
[0062] Referring to Figure 6(e), a 20 nm thick Al2O3 dielectric layer V3 is deposited using an ALD process. This layer serves as the gate dielectric layer 5 in the gate region of transistor region A and as the first dielectric layer 9 on the surface of the InGaN layer 4 in diode region B. The dielectric layer V3 also covers the surfaces of the source S, drain D, and P electrode 7. In subsequent fabrication processes, holes can be selectively opened in these electrodes as needed to facilitate external connections.
[0063] Referring to Figure 6(f), mesa etching is performed to the surface of the N-GaN layer 2, and an N-type ohmic contact is made on the etched mesa in the diode region B to form an N electrode 8. The metal is Ti / Al / Ni / Au = 20 / 20 / 50 / 150 nm. Due to the heavy doping, the N-type ohmic contact can be formed without annealing.
[0064] 6( g ), a gate metal is evaporated on the gate dielectric layer 5 between the source S and the drain D. Ni / Au=50 / 150nm is used and annealed at 400° C. for 5 min to reduce gate leakage, thereby forming a gate G.
[0065] In addition, according to actual needs such as device protection, a passivation layer can be added into the structure or on the surface of the structure. This is a conventional technology.
[0066] The semiconductor device mentioned above simultaneously manufactures a pMOS transistor and a PN junction diode, arranges and connects the devices according to the circuit design, and can be used to combine and connect with other device structures to realize a GaN CMOS logic circuit.
