[0030] Example 1

[0031] According to one aspect of the present application, embodiment 1 of the present application provides a diamond and gallium nitride heterogeneously integrated complementary field effect transistor device, which can be referred to as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structure and principle of the complementary field effect transistor device of heterogeneous integration of diamond and gallium nitride are introduced in detail as follows:

[0032] A diamond and gallium nitride heterogeneously integrated complementary field effect transistor device comprises: an n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001), a p-type diamond-based transistor unit (002), an electrode connection unit (003) and a diamond substrate (1); the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond-based transistor unit (002) are both arranged on the diamond substrate (1); the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001) comprises an n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) and an n-type GaN transistor drain electrode (9); the p-type diamond-based transistor unit (002) comprises a p-type diamond transistor source electrode (12) and a p-type diamond transistor gate electrode (13); and the p-type diamond-based transistor unit (003) comprises a p-type diamond transistor source electrode (14) and a p-type diamond transistor gate electrode (15). Electrode (13); the electrode connection unit (003) comprises a first electrode connection metal (15a) and a second electrode connection metal (15b) which are spatially staggered, the first electrode connection metal (15a) being used to connect to an interface of an input signal, and the second electrode connection metal (15b) being used to connect to an interface of an output signal; the first electrode connection metal (15a) being respectively connected to the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) and the p-type diamond transistor gate electrode (13), and the second electrode connection metal (15b) being respectively connected to the n-type GaN transistor drain electrode (9) and the p-type diamond transistor source electrode (12).

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the first electrode connection metal (15a) is respectively connected to the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) and the p-type diamond transistor gate electrode (13), and the second electrode connection metal (15b) is respectively connected to the n-type GaN transistor drain electrode (9) and the p-type diamond transistor source electrode (12). The first electrode connection metal (15a) is used to connect the gates in the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond-based transistor unit (002), and the second electrode connection metal (15b) is used to connect the drain electrode (9) in the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond transistor source electrode (12) in the p-type diamond-based transistor unit (002). The first electrode connection metal (15a) is connected to the input signal IN, and the second electrode connection metal (15b) is connected to the output signal OUT, thereby completing the conduction and transmission of electrical signals of the entire semiconductor device.

[0034] Furthermore, diamond material and gallium nitride are heterogeneously integrated, wherein n-channel transistors are formed using gallium nitride and p-channel transistors are formed using diamond, and they are connected to each other through electrode connection units to form complementary field effect transistor devices. The material structure of heterogeneous integration of diamond material and gallium nitride is compatible with gallium nitride RF devices, and can provide a material structure foundation for realizing a multifunctional gallium nitride RF chip with monolithic integrated analog drive, power management and digital processing.

[0035] Furthermore, by arranging both the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond-based transistor unit (002) on the diamond substrate (1), a monolithically integrated gallium nitride and diamond complementary inverter can be realized, forming the smallest unit of a digital integrated circuit, and providing structural design support for the manufacture of large-scale diamond substrates, gallium nitride and diamond heterogeneously integrated digital integrated circuits and analog integrated circuit logic circuits.

[0036] Furthermore, the n-type transistor adopts a gallium nitride-based structure, which has a high two-dimensional electron gas concentration, high mobility, and low square resistance. The gallium nitride-based channel material has a wide bandgap width, a low probability of inter-band tunneling, a high on-state current, and a low off-state leakage at a small size. The p-type transistor adopts a diamond-based semiconductor structure, which has a high two-dimensional hole gas concentration, high mobility, and a high device on-state current. The combined complementary field effect transistor device has the characteristics of fast switching speed and low power consumption.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present application, the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond transistor unit (002) are arranged on the upper surface of the diamond substrate (1) at intervals, and the interval distance between the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond transistor unit (002) is not less than a preset distance threshold.

[0038] Specifically, the preset distance threshold can be specifically the minimum process size of the electrode connection unit (003), that is, the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond transistor unit (002) are not connected, and a certain interval is retained, and the interval distance is not less than the preset distance threshold. The isolation between the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond transistor unit (002) can be dielectric isolation, or groove isolation, or ion implantation isolation. The first electrode connection metal (15a) and the second electrode connection metal (15b) of the electrode connection unit (003) form an air bridge-like vertical staggered position in space, which can be specifically as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001) further comprises an n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2), an n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3), an n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4), and an n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5); the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2), the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3), the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4), and the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) are arranged in sequence from bottom to top, and the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2) is arranged on the diamond substrate (1).

[0040] Specifically, the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2) is located on a diamond substrate (1); since the diamond substrate (1) as a dielectric substrate has a lattice mismatch problem with the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3), a transition layer (AlGaN or AlN) of a certain thickness needs to be introduced to reduce the interface tension caused by the lattice mismatch. The n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2) can reduce the current collapse caused by interface mismatch, defects or trap effects, reduce static current leakage and radio frequency conduction, and improve radio frequency performance.

[0041] The n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3) is located on the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2); a certain amount of doping is introduced into the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3) to achieve the functions of high resistance and low leakage, and its thickness is usually at the micrometer level, which is used to reduce the background carrier concentration to reduce the drain current collapse caused by the trap effect of the buffer layer.

[0042] The n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4) is located on the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3); the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4) is unintentionally doped, a two-dimensional electron gas channel is formed on the upper surface of the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4), and is isolated from the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3) into which certain doping impurities are intentionally introduced.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4) and the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) are both group III nitrides, and the group III nitrides are one or more of gallium nitride, aluminum nitride and indium nitride; a two-dimensional electron gas is formed between the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4) and the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) to form a conductive channel of the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001).

[0044] The material of the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2) is aluminum nitride, the thickness of the n-type GaN transistor transition layer is 50nm-300nm, and the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2) is used to release the lattice mismatch stress and thermal stress between the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3) and the diamond substrate (1); the material of the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3) is undoped gallium nitride or aluminum gallium nitride, the thickness is 200nm-5μm; the material of the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4) is a ternary compound semiconductor formed by gallium nitride, indium nitride and gallium nitride or aluminum gallium nitride, the thickness is 50nm-500nm, and the material of the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) is a ternary compound semiconductor formed by aluminum gallium nitride, indium nitride and gallium nitride or aluminum nitride, the thickness is 5nm-50nm.

[0045] The n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) is located on the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4); since group III nitrides have relatively strong polarization charges, near the interface between the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) and the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4), the positive polarization charge density on the lower surface of the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) is much greater than the negative polarization charge density of the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4), resulting in a certain positive polarization charge being present at the interface between the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) and the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4), thereby inducing the generation of a two-dimensional electron gas within a nanometer-scale thickness range on the upper surface of the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4); the two-dimensional electron gas has a relatively large concentration and a relatively high mobility, and can be used as a conductive channel of the n-type GaN transistor unit (001).

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001) further includes a first SiN passivation layer (6a), a second SiN passivation layer (6b) and an n-type GaN transistor source electrode (7), wherein the n-type GaN transistor source electrode (7), the first SiN passivation layer (6a), the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8), the second SiN passivation layer (6b) and the n-type GaN transistor drain electrode (9) are sequentially arranged from left to right above the surface of the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5), and the n-type GaN transistor source electrode (7) is disposed on the surface of the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5). The electrode (7) and the n-type GaN transistor drain electrode (9) are respectively arranged at two ends of the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5); the n-type GaN transistor source electrode (7) and the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) are connected via the first SiN passivation layer (6a), and the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) and the n-type GaN transistor drain electrode (9) are connected via the second SiN passivation layer (6b), and the length ratio of the first SiN passivation layer (6a) to the second SiN passivation layer (6b) is in the range of 1.5-2.

[0047] Specifically, an n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) is located on an n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5); a surface area of ​​the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) corresponding to the surface area directly below the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) is subjected to a first preset process, for example, the surface area of ​​the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) directly below the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) is etched to form a groove gate structure; or fluorine ions are implanted into the surface area of ​​the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) directly below the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8); or a p-GaN layer is inserted between the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) and the surface area of ​​the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) directly below, so that the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) is in an enhanced working mode.

[0048] The first SiN passivation layer (6a) and the second SiN passivation layer (6b) are located on the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5). The first SiN passivation layer (6a) and the second SiN passivation layer (6b) play an important role in reducing the collapse of the drain current and maintaining the two-dimensional electron gas generated by the polarization characteristics. At the same time, they can also reduce the leakage current of the gate electrode (8) of the n-type GaN transistor and enhance the ohmic contact and breakdown voltage of the source and drain. At the same time, the length ratio of the first SiN passivation layer (6a) to the second SiN passivation layer (6b) is in the range of 1.5-2, which can improve the breakdown characteristics.

Electrode (13); the electrode connection unit (003) comprises a first electrode connection metal (15a) and a second electrode connection metal (15b) which are spatially staggered, the first electrode connection metal (15a) being used to connect to an interface of an input signal, and the second electrode connection metal (15b) being used to connect to an interface of an output signal; the first electrode connection metal (15a) being respectively connected to the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) and the p-type diamond transistor gate electrode (13), and the second electrode connection metal (15b) being respectively connected to the n-type GaN transistor drain electrode (9) and the p-type diamond transistor source electrode (12).

The first electrode connection metal (15a) is connected to the input signal IN, and the second electrode connection metal (15b) is connected to the output signal OUT, so as to complete the conduction and transmission of electrical signals of the entire semiconductor device.

[0061] Furthermore, diamond material and gallium nitride are heterogeneously integrated, wherein n-channel transistors are formed using gallium nitride and p-channel transistors are formed using diamond, and they are connected to each other through electrode connection units to form complementary field effect transistor devices. The material structure of heterogeneous integration of diamond material and gallium nitride is compatible with gallium nitride RF devices, and can provide a material structure foundation for realizing a multifunctional gallium nitride RF chip with monolithic integrated analog drive, power management and digital processing.

[0062] Furthermore, by arranging both the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond-based transistor unit (002) on the diamond substrate (1), a monolithically integrated gallium nitride and diamond complementary inverter can be realized, forming the smallest unit of a digital integrated circuit, and providing structural design support for the manufacture of large-scale diamond substrates, gallium nitride and diamond heterogeneously integrated digital integrated circuits and analog integrated circuit logic circuits.

[0063] Furthermore, the n-type transistor adopts a gallium nitride-based structure, which has a high two-dimensional electron gas concentration, high mobility, and low square resistance. The gallium nitride-based channel material has a wide bandgap width, a low probability of inter-band tunneling, a high on-state current, and a low off-state leakage at a small size. The p-type transistor adopts a diamond-based semiconductor structure, which has a high two-dimensional hole gas concentration, high mobility, and a high device on-state current. The combined complementary field effect transistor device has the characteristics of fast switching speed and low power consumption.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond transistor unit (002) are arranged on the upper surface of the diamond substrate (1) at intervals, and the interval distance between the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond transistor unit (002) is not less than a preset distance threshold.

[0065] Specifically, the preset distance threshold can be specifically the minimum process size of the electrode connection unit (003), that is, the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond transistor unit (002) are not connected, and a certain interval is retained, and the interval distance is not less than the preset distance threshold. The isolation between the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) and the p-type diamond transistor unit (002) can be dielectric isolation, or groove isolation, or ion implantation isolation.

The second SiN passivation layer (6b) and the third SiN passivation layer (6c) serve as supports for the first electrode connection metal (15a), and the fifth SiN passivation layer (6e) serves as a support for the second electrode connection metal (15b), that is, the second SiN passivation layer (6b) and the third SiN passivation layer (6c) are connected to the first electrode connection metal (15a), and the fifth SiN passivation layer (6e) is connected to the second electrode connection metal (15b).

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, the n-type GaN-based transistor unit (001) further comprises an n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2), an n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3), an n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4), and an n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5); the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2), the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3), the n-type GaN transistor channel layer (4), and the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) are arranged in sequence from bottom to top, and the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2) is arranged on the diamond substrate (1).

[0067] Specifically, the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2) is located on a diamond substrate (1); since the diamond substrate (1) as a dielectric substrate has a lattice mismatch problem with the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3), a transition layer (AlGaN or AlN) of a certain thickness needs to be introduced to reduce the interface tension caused by the lattice mismatch. The n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2) can reduce the current collapse caused by interface mismatch, defects or trap effects, reduce static current leakage and radio frequency conduction, and improve radio frequency performance.

[0068] The n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3) is located on the n-type GaN transistor transition layer (2); a certain amount of doping is introduced into the n-type GaN transistor buffer layer (3) to achieve the functions of high resistance and low leakage, and its thickness is usually at the micrometer level, which is used to reduce the background carrier concentration to reduce the drain current collapse caused by the trap effect of the buffer layer.

The n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) is located on the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5); the surface area of ​​the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) corresponding to the area directly below the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) is subjected to a first preset treatment, for example, etching the surface area of ​​the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) directly below the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) to form a groove gate structure; or fluorine ion implantation is performed on the surface area of ​​the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) directly below the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8); or a p-GaN layer is inserted between the n-type GaN transistor gate electrode (8) and the surface area of ​​the n-type GaN transistor barrier layer (5) directly below, so that the n-type GaN transistor unit (001) is in an enhanced working mode.

The first SiN passivation layer (6a) and the second SiN passivation layer (6b) play an important role in reducing the collapse of the drain current and maintaining the two-dimensional electron gas generated by the polarization characteristics. At the same time, they can also reduce the leakage current of the gate electrode (8) of the n-type GaN transistor and enhance the ohmic contact and breakdown voltage of the source and drain. At the same time, the length ratio of the first SiN passivation layer (6a) to the second SiN passivation layer (6b) is in the range of 1.5-2, which can improve the breakdown characteristics.
