At the same time, the term "and / or" used in the specification includes any and all combinations of the related listed items.
[0035] As described in the background, in the prior art diamond semiconductor device, when using gold electrodes as lead-out electrodes, the gold electrodes are prone to falling off during subsequent external packaging interconnection processes, resulting in a problem of reduced reliability of the diamond semiconductor device. Research has found that the reason for this problem is that the adhesion of the gold electrode is poor when it comes into contact with the hydrogen surface treated diamond surface.
[0036] Based on the above reasons, the present application provides a diamond semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof, which can reduce the occurrence of gold electrode falling off during subsequent external packaging interconnection.
[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a diamond semiconductor device is provided, including: a device body 110, a gold electrode 120, a dielectric layer 130, and an adhesive metal layer 140. The gold electrode 120 is disposed on the surface of the device body 110; the dielectric layer 130 is disposed on the surface of the device body 110 and surrounds the gold electrode 120; the adhesive metal layer 140 connects the gold electrode 120 and the dielectric layer 130 respectively, and the adhesive metal layer 140 is used to lead out electrodes.
[0038] Specifically, the device body 110 is a semiconductor device with a diamond material as its main structure. Its surface is made of diamond material. The device body 110 may include a diamond substrate and a diamond epitaxial layer. After fabrication using semiconductor processes, it can form semiconductor devices with different functions. Gold electrodes 120 are provided at the locations on the surface of the device body 110 where electrodes are needed. The gold electrodes 120 contact the surface of the hydrogen-treated device body 110 to form ohmic contacts, thus forming ohmic electrodes. The number, shape, and other parameters of the gold electrodes 120 can be arbitrarily set according to the needs of the semiconductor device and are not limited here.
[0039] A dielectric layer 130 is also disposed on the surface of the device body 110. The dielectric layer 130 surrounds the gold electrode 120, meaning that the side of the gold electrode 120 contacts the dielectric layer 130, and the gold electrode 120 is located in the pores formed by the dielectric layer 130. An adhesive metal layer 140 is disposed on the dielectric layer 130 and the gold electrode 120, connecting the gold electrode 120 and the dielectric layer 130 respectively. The adhesive metal layer 140 is used to lead out the electrodes of the semiconductor device. Because the dielectric layer 130 has strong adhesion to the device body 110, and the adhesive metal layer 140 has strong adhesion to the dielectric layer 130, the adhesive metal layer 140 can reinforce the gold electrode 120, reducing the possibility of the gold electrode 120 detaching during subsequent external packaging interconnection.
[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the thickness of the medium layer 130 is greater than the thickness of the gold electrode 120, and the medium layer 130 covers part of the top surface of the gold electrode 120. Specifically, in this embodiment, the thickness of the medium layer 130 is set to be greater than the thickness of the gold electrode 120, and at this time, the part of the medium layer 130 that exceeds the gold electrode 120 in the thickness direction can extend to the top surface of the gold electrode 120, thereby covering part of the top surface of the gold electrode 120. In this case, the part of the medium layer 130 that covers the top surface of the gold electrode 120 forms a mechanical limiting structure, thereby further playing a role in reinforcing the gold electrode 120. It can be understood that the shape of the contact surface between the medium layer 130 and the top surface of the gold electrode 120 can be various, and in general, for the convenience of process manufacturing, the gold electrode 120 is cylindrical, and the shape of the contact surface is annular, so as to fix the position around the top surface of the gold electrode 120. In some other embodiments, the thickness of the medium layer 130 can also be equal to or less than the thickness of the gold electrode 120, and at this time, the adhesion between the adhesion metal layer 140 and the medium layer 130 can also complete the reinforcement of the gold electrode 120 and reduce the situation of the gold electrode 120 falling off.
[0041] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3 Specifically, in this embodiment, the interface between the adhesion metal layer 140 and the medium layer 130 completely surrounds the interface between the adhesion metal layer 140 and the gold electrode 120, and in this case, the adhesion metal layer 140 completely covers the gold electrode 120 and covers the medium layer 130 after exceeding the top surface of the gold electrode 120, and at this time, the adhesion metal layer 140 covers the top surface of the gold electrode 120 around, which further enhances the reinforcing effect of the adhesion metal layer 140 on the gold electrode 120 by increasing the connection area between the adhesion metal layer 140 and the medium layer 130. In some other embodiments, the adhesion metal layer 140 can also cover part of the top surface of the gold electrode 120.
[0042] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 Specifically, in this embodiment, the thickness of the medium layer 130 is greater than the thickness of the gold electrode 120, and the medium layer 130 covers part of the top surface of the gold electrode 120, and the interface between the adhesion metal layer 140 and the medium layer 130 completely surrounds the interface between the adhesion metal layer 140 and the gold electrode 120. Through such a setting, in the case of reinforcing the gold electrode 120 by the limiting structure of the medium layer 130, the adhesion area between the adhesion metal layer 140 and the medium layer 130 can be further increased to further improve the reinforcing ability of the gold electrode 120 and further reduce the situation of the gold electrode 120 falling off.
[0043] In one embodiment, the dielectric layer 130 is made of at least one of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and aluminum oxide. Specifically, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and aluminum oxide are all insulating materials with good adhesion to diamond, and when used as an insulating layer, they can also be used to adhere the metal layer 140. In some other embodiments, polycrystalline silicon, zinc oxide, or other insulating materials can also be selected as the dielectric layer 130.
[0044] In one embodiment, the material of the adhesive metal layer 140 is at least one of titanium and nickel. Specifically, the adhesive metal layer 140 needs to have good adhesion to the dielectric layer 130 and excellent conductivity. Titanium and nickel have high work functions, good adhesion, and can form good ohmic contacts with various materials, exhibiting low contact resistance when connected to the gold electrode 120. In some embodiments, gold can also be used as the material of the adhesive metal layer 140, as it also exhibits good adhesion when in contact with the dielectric layer 130.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the diamond semiconductor device further includes a reinforcing metal layer 150, which is disposed on the adhesive metal layer 140 and serves as an electrode lead-out layer. Specifically, in this embodiment, a reinforcing metal layer 150 is further disposed on the adhesive metal layer 140 to thicken the overall metal layer. The reinforcing metal layer 150 serves as an electrode lead-out layer, which can improve the reliability of the lead-out electrode. In one embodiment, the material of the reinforcing metal layer 150 is at least one of aluminum and gold. It is understood that in the diamond semiconductor devices of the above embodiments, a reinforcing metal layer 150 can be disposed on the adhesive metal layer 140, which will not be described in detail here.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment of the diamond semiconductor device, the thickness of the dielectric layer 130 is greater than the thickness of the gold electrode 120. The dielectric layer 130 covers a portion of the top surface of the gold electrode 120, and the interface between the adhesive metal layer 140 and the dielectric layer 130 completely surrounds the interface between the adhesive metal layer 140 and the gold electrode 120. A reinforcing metal layer 150 is provided on the adhesive metal layer 140. With this arrangement, while the gold electrode 120 is reinforced by the limiting structure of the dielectric layer 130, the reinforcement capability of the gold electrode 120 can be further improved by increasing the contact area between the adhesive metal layer 140 and the dielectric layer 130 and by adding the reinforcing metal layer 150, thereby further reducing the occurrence of gold electrode 120 detachment.
[0047] In one embodiment, the thickness of the dielectric layer 130 is 10 nanometers to 100 nanometers, the thickness of the adhesive metal layer 140 is 10 nanometers to 50 nanometers, and the thickness of the reinforcing metal layer 150 is greater than 1 micrometer.
[0048] In one embodiment, the application also provides a method for manufacturing the diamond semiconductor device as described above.
[0049] In one embodiment, as shown, the method for manufacturing the diamond semiconductor device is applied to a semiconductor manufacturing system, which includes but is not limited to the following steps: Figure 7
[0050] Step S210, providing a device body.
[0051] Specifically, the semiconductor manufacturing system first provides a device body 110 which needs to be reinforced by the gold electrode 120. The device body 110 has completed the previous semiconductor manufacturing process and has already set the gold electrode 120 on the surface of the device body 110.
[0052] Step S220, forming a dielectric layer on the surface of the device body.
[0053] Specifically, the semiconductor manufacturing system can deposit a layer of dielectric on the surface of the device body 110 by chemical vapor deposition, and form a dielectric layer 130 with uniform thickness on the surface of the device body 110 by grinding and other processes. The formed dielectric layer 130 surrounds the gold electrode 120. In some embodiments, the material of the dielectric layer 130 is at least one of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and aluminum oxide.
[0054] Step S230, opening a hole in the dielectric layer to expose the gold electrode.
[0055] Specifically, after forming the dielectric layer 130 on the surface of the device body 110, the semiconductor manufacturing system can open a hole in the dielectric layer 130 to expose the gold electrode 120 in the dielectric layer 130. For example, in the case where the thickness of the dielectric layer 130 needs to be greater than the thickness of the gold electrode 120, the semiconductor manufacturing system can open a hole in the dielectric layer 130 by photolithography, etching or etching to expose the gold electrode 120. It can be understood that by controlling the size of the opening, the top surface of the gold electrode 120 can be completely exposed, or only a part of the top surface of the gold electrode 120 is exposed. For example, in the case where the opening area is smaller than the top surface of the gold electrode 120, the dielectric layer 130 covers a part of the top surface of the gold electrode 120; in the case where the thickness of the dielectric layer 130 needs to be equal to the thickness of the gold electrode 120, the semiconductor manufacturing system can grind the dielectric layer 130 by mechanical grinding until the top surface of the gold electrode 120 is exposed.
[0056] Step S240, forming an adhesion metal layer on the dielectric layer and the gold electrode.
[0057] Specifically, after exposing the gold electrode 120 on the dielectric layer 130, the semiconductor manufacturing system can deposit an adhesive metal layer 140 on the dielectric layer 130 and the gold electrode 120 using thin film deposition processes such as chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition. The resulting adhesive metal layer 140 connects the gold electrode 120 and the dielectric layer 130, and is used to lead out electrodes. It is understood that before depositing the adhesive metal layer 140, an auxiliary layer can be deposited to cover areas where the adhesive metal layer 140 does not need to be deposited, thereby controlling the shape of the deposited adhesive metal layer 140. In some embodiments, the interface between the adhesive metal layer 140 and the dielectric layer 130 completely surrounds the interface between the adhesive metal layer 140 and the gold electrode 120. In some embodiments, the material of the adhesive metal layer 140 is at least one of titanium and nickel.
[0058] The above-described method for fabricating a diamond semiconductor device involves forming a dielectric layer 130 around a gold electrode 120 on the surface of the device body 110, and forming an adhesive metal layer 140 to connect the gold electrode 120 and the dielectric layer 130. The electrode is led out through the adhesive metal layer 140 and the gold electrode 120. Since the adhesion between the dielectric layer 130 and the device body 110 is strong, and the adhesion between the adhesive metal layer 140 and the dielectric layer 130 is also strong, the adhesive metal layer 140 can reinforce the gold electrode 120, reducing the possibility of the gold electrode 120 detaching during subsequent external packaging and interconnection.
[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the fabrication method of diamond semiconductor devices also includes:
[0060] Step S250: A reinforcing metal layer is formed on the adhesive metal layer.
[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, after forming the adhesive metal layer 140, a reinforcing metal layer 150 is formed on the adhesive metal layer 140. The reinforcing metal layer 150 is used to thicken the entire metal layer and is used for the lead-out electrode, which can improve the reliability of the lead-out electrode. In one embodiment, the material of the reinforcing metal layer 150 is at least one of aluminum and gold.
[0062] In one embodiment, the dielectric layer 130 formed by the method of fabricating a diamond semiconductor device has a thickness of 10 nanometers to 100 nanometers, the adhesive metal layer 140 has a thickness of 10 nanometers to 50 nanometers, and the reinforcing metal layer 150 has a thickness greater than 1 micrometer.
