Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and in particular to an epitaxial structure of a semiconductor power device and a radio frequency device. Background Art
[0002] Gallium nitride power devices and RF devices have many advantages, such as large bandgap, large critical breakdown electric field, small size, high frequency, high electron density, high electron saturation drift rate, high critical electric field, high thermal conductivity, high voltage resistance, and good chemical stability. For example, the bandgap of gallium nitride is 3.4eV, that of silicon is 1.12eV, and the electron drift rate of gallium nitride is 2.5 times that of Si. Gallium nitride power devices are based on a two-dimensional electron gas structure with high electron mobility. They use AlGaN / GaN lattice mismatch to generate stress. Under the interaction of spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization, a large amount of two-dimensional electron gas is generated at the gallium nitride interface. Under undoped conditions, the density of the two-dimensional electron gas can exceed 1013cm-2, which can be applied to HEMT high electron mobility transistor devices or high-voltage power devices. They are widely used in power electronics, consumer electronics, data centers, industrial electromechanical, automotive electronics, smart grids, RF devices, 5G / 6G communications, photovoltaic inverters, new energy vehicles and other fields. GaN-HEMT power devices are divided into E-mode HEMT enhancement devices and D-mode depletion devices. Among them, E-mode HEMT enhancement devices have the advantages of high speed, high power, high electron mobility, and high breakdown voltage. They are mainly used in GaN RF, 5G / 6G small base station RF front end, wireless communication, lidar and other fields, while D-mode depletion devices have the advantages of low leakage current and simple driving circuit, and are mainly used in AC-DC conversion, DC-DC conversion and other fields.
[0003] GaN power devices and RF devices have the following problems: defects and lattice mismatch stress will produce leakage channels, causing performance failure and breakdown characteristics, leading to reliability failure; unbalanced carriers will vibrate the off-state electric field, resulting in electric field concentration; poor heat dissipation characteristics will affect reliability; Schottky gate depletion-type GaN high electron mobility devices often face problems such as high gate leakage and low switching current ratio, causing the gate breakdown voltage to drop, and then resulting in high power consumption, gate leakage and device failure.
