Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and specifically relates to a vertical gallium oxide device, which can be used in high-power electronic equipment and high-power radio frequency equipment, such as power electronics, automotive-grade inverters, high-voltage power grids, communication base stations, etc. Background Art
[0002] Gallium oxide is one of the hottest semiconductor materials at present. Compared with traditional semiconductor materials Si, Ge, and third-generation semiconductor materials SiC and GaN, it has a bandgap of 4.5-4.9eV and a critical breakdown field strength of about 8MV / cm, which is more than twenty times that of silicon materials and more than twice that of SiC and GaN materials. The superior material properties enable it to achieve smaller size and lower power consumption at the same voltage resistance level, thereby achieving greater power density, better frequency characteristics, and lower power loss. It can be widely used in miniaturized RF power devices and has broad application prospects under the current trend of 5G+IoT. Gallium oxide crystals exist in five crystal forms: α, β, γ, δ, and ε. Among them, β-phase Ga2O3 has been widely studied and applied due to its chemical stability and direct bandgap characteristics. The thermal conductivity of gallium oxide is 0.1-0.3. The low thermal conductivity causes gallium oxide devices to have serious heat dissipation problems, which is one of the problems that power devices must solve.
[0003] For gallium oxide devices, the low-doped epitaxial layer is usually the main area where heat is generated due to its large resistance, and the heat dissipation of vertical devices can only be optimized through the anode and the gallium oxide substrate. The commonly used solution is usually to optimize the heat dissipation at the upper and lower ends of the device through high thermal conductivity materials, such as double-sided silver sintering packaging and high thermal conductivity material heterogeneous integration technology. These technologies can better dissipate the heat on the upper and lower surfaces of the device, but for thicker epitaxial layers, the internal heat accumulation causes a self-heating effect that degrades the characteristics of the device. This technology has limited improvement in the heat dissipation capacity of devices with thicker epitaxial layers used in high-voltage and high-power applications.
[0004] Patent document with application number CN201911174463.9 discloses a gallium oxide semiconductor structure, a vertical gallium oxide-based power device and a preparation method, which transfers the gallium oxide layer to a heterogeneous substrate with high thermal conductivity by heterogeneous bonding and thinning, and improves the heat dissipation capacity of the device by the heterogeneous substrate with high thermal conductivity. However, this method can only improve the heat dissipation capacity of the device surface, and cannot handle the heat inside the device well, and the heat dissipation efficiency is low.
[0005] Patent document CN202011207956.0 discloses a flip-chip MOSFET device and a preparation method, which improves the surface heat dissipation efficiency by etching a micrometer-scale or nanometer-scale array on the back of a gallium oxide substrate and increasing the heat dissipation area on the back of the device. Although this method improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the device surface, for high-power devices, the heat inside the thicker gallium oxide layer still cannot be released well.
