Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and more particularly to transistor epitaxial structures and their fabrication methods. Background Technology
[0002] Gallium nitride (GaN) has become a third-generation semiconductor material due to its advantages such as a large wide bandgap, low dielectric constant, high electron saturation velocity, spontaneous polarization, and thermal stability. AlGaN / GaN generates a two-dimensional electron gas with high electron density and high electron mobility at the material interface, resulting in high electron mobility transistors with significant advantages in high switching frequency, low on-resistance, high current density, and high operating temperature. Limited by the technology and cost of self-supporting substrates, GaN devices are mainly realized through heteroepitaxial growth. In the field of GaN-based power devices, Si substrates have advantages in terms of large size, process technology, and cost, and can also achieve the integration of microelectronic and optoelectronic devices, making them a candidate substrate material for GaN epitaxy and driving the commercialization of power devices. However, the large lattice mismatch (17%) and thermal mismatch (116%) between GaN and Si substrates, uncontrolled defect management, and high dislocation density lead to difficulties in epitaxial processes, making it difficult to suppress leakage current in the fabricated power devices, hindering the achievement of high breakdown voltage, and causing reliability and consistency issues. The mismatch dislocations of GaN and SiC substrates are only 3.5%, which can significantly reduce defects in the epitaxial layer, improve the quality of the epitaxial crystal, and reduce device leakage current. However, the high price of SiC substrates limits the large-scale mass production of GaN / SiC devices.
[0003] In comparison, GaN exhibits smaller lattice mismatch (16%) and thermal mismatch (25%) with sapphire substrates, lower substrate cost, and high insulating properties. Furthermore, the epitaxial growth technology of GaN materials is quite mature, easy to clean and process, and allows for stable large-size growth, making it a commonly used substrate for GaN material growth. It has also been commercialized in the field of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and successfully achieved large-scale applications. However, the reliability and consistency of related devices still need further improvement.

The B component was initially fixed at 0.6, then linearly reduced to 0 over a 25-minute growth period. After reaching 0, AlN growth continued for 5 minutes. The growth temperature was fixed at 900 degrees Celsius, the growth pressure at 100 mbar, and the growth rate was controlled at 100 nm / h.

Under the conditions of growing the barrier layer 52, the trimethylaluminum source is turned off, and growth continues for a third preset time to grow the GaN cap layer 53 on the barrier layer 52. The thickness of the GaN cap layer 53 is 3-5 nm, and the thickness of the GaN cap layer 53 can be measured by XRR.
[0042] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 High electron mobility transistor epitaxial structures can be fabricated using the above method. This high electron mobility transistor epitaxial structure includes a sapphire substrate 10, a boron-doped first buffer layer 20, a boron-free GaN second buffer layer 30, a GaN high-resistivity layer, and a GaN epitaxial stack 50 sequentially formed on the sapphire substrate 10; the boron content of the first buffer layer 20 gradually decreases from bottom to top, and a boron-free buffer layer of a predetermined thickness is formed on top of the first buffer layer 20. The first buffer layer 20 has a boron content that gradually decreases from bottom to top. x Al 1-x N-layer buffer. The top of the first buffer layer 20 is an AlN layer.
[0043] The sapphire substrate 10 has a thickness of 550-1000 μm, the first buffer layer 20 has a thickness of 15-35 nm, and the second buffer layer 30 has a thickness of 200-500 nm. The GaN high-resistivity layer 40 is a C-doped GaN high-resistivity layer 40, and the GaN epitaxial stack 50 consists of a GaN channel layer 51, a barrier layer 52, and a GaN cap layer 53 sequentially grown on the GaN high-resistivity layer 40.
[0044] In this embodiment, the C doping concentration in the GaN high-resistivity layer 40 is 5E18-1E19 cm⁻¹. -3 The GaN high-resistivity layer 40 has a thickness of 500-1500 nm. The barrier layer 52 is Al. y Ga 1-y N-barrier layer 52. The thickness of the GaN channel layer 51 is 150-300 nm, and the Al... y Ga 1-y The y range in the N barrier layer 52 is 18% to 28%, and the thickness is 20-30 nm. The thickness of the GaN cap layer 53 is 3-5 nm.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] refer to Figure 3 Unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the first buffer layer 20a is B, where x gradually decreases from bottom to top. x Ga 1-x The first buffer layer 20 has an N-layer buffer, with a GaN layer on top. The first preset value x is 0.6, the first preset duration is 15 minutes, and the second preset duration is 5 minutes.
[0047] B x Ga 1-x During the growth of the N buffer layer: ammonia, triethylboron, and trimethylaluminum were used as nitrogen source, boron source, and aluminum source, respectively, with a V / III ratio of 1500. The B composition was initially fixed at 0.6, and then linearly reduced to 0 over a growth period of 15 min. Finally, GaN was grown for 5 min, with the growth temperature fixed at 900 degrees Celsius, the growth pressure at 100 mbar, and the growth rate less than or equal to 300 nm / h.
[0048] The lattice mismatches of BN, AlN, and GaN with the sapphire substrate 10 are -8.9%, 13%, and 16%, respectively. It can be seen that if GaN is grown directly on the sapphire substrate 10, the high lattice mismatch will result in a high defect density, which will affect the device performance. The lattice mismatch between BN and sapphire is a negative value, while the lattice mismatch between AlN and GaN and sapphire is a positive value. Therefore, this invention achieves a strictly lattice-matched buffer layer on the sapphire substrate 10 by first depositing a boron-doped buffer layer (first buffer layer 20, 20a) on the sapphire substrate 10 before epitaxial GaN, and by controlling the B ratio during the growth of the first buffer layer 20, 20a. Then, the boron doping composition is gradually reduced until it is zero, and finally an AlN layer or GaN is grown directly. Compared with direct GaN growth, this invention can significantly reduce lattice mismatch, improve the crystal quality of the epitaxial layer, thereby reducing dislocations and device leakage current, improving the consistency of GaN high electron mobility transistors, and enhancing the operating performance under high current density and high voltage.
