[0067] The present disclosure provides a diamond power device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, it includes a double-sided structure field effect transistor, which includes a diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1, and the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 includes a first side A1 and a second side A2 that are oppositely arranged, the first side A1 includes a first diamond conductive channel region 11 and a first isolation region 12 located outside the first diamond conductive channel region 11, and the second side A2 includes a second diamond conductive channel region 13 and a second isolation region 14 located outside the second diamond conductive channel region 13;
[0068] A first source electrode S1 and a first drain electrode D1 are provided on the side of the first diamond conductive channel region 11 away from the second diamond conductive channel region 13, and a second source electrode S2 and a second drain electrode D2 are provided on the side of the second diamond conductive channel region 13 away from the first diamond conductive channel region 11. The first source electrode S1 and the second source electrode S2 are electrically connected, and / or the first drain electrode D1 and the second drain electrode D2 are electrically connected.
[0069] The above-mentioned diamond power device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure has field effect transistors on both sides of a diamond single crystal epitaxial growth, thereby forming a double-sided structure field effect transistor, which effectively reduces the cost; and because the first source electrode and the second source electrode of the double-sided structure field effect transistor are electrically connected, and / or the first drain electrode and the second drain electrode are electrically connected, compared with the single-sided field effect transistor, the device of the present disclosure can increase the current density while maintaining the same high withstand voltage level, thereby obtaining a diamond power device with both high current density and high withstand voltage performance.
[0070] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned diamond power device provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 1As shown, the first diamond conductive channel region 11 and the second diamond conductive channel region 13 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1, and the first isolation region 12 and the second isolation region 14 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1; this is conducive to the electrical connection of the source electrodes on both sides of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 and the electrical connection of the drain electrodes on both sides;
[0071] The diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 has a first through hole V1 and a second through hole V2 penetrating the thickness thereof at positions corresponding to the first isolation region 12 and the second isolation region 13, wherein the first through hole V1 is located between the first source electrode S1 and the second source electrode S2, and the second through hole V2 is located between the first drain electrode D1 and the second drain electrode D2; by arranging the first through hole V1 and the second through hole V2 in the isolation regions on both sides of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1, short-circuiting of the diamond conductive channel regions on both sides of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 is avoided;
[0072] The first source electrode S1 and the second source electrode S2 are electrically connected through the first connection metal 21 located in the first through hole V1, and the first drain electrode D1 and the second drain electrode D2 are electrically connected through the second connection metal 22 located in the second through hole V2. Figure 1 The field effect transistors on both sides of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 form a parallel integrated device. Compared with the single-sided field effect transistor, the double-sided structure field effect transistor disclosed in the present invention can increase the current density to 2 times while maintaining the same high withstand voltage level, thereby obtaining a double-sided structure field effect transistor with both high current density and high withstand voltage performance.
[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the prior art using only the laser drilling process to form a through hole H on the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1. It can be seen that the side wall surface of the through hole H forms non-diamond impurities NG (such as graphite) on the side wall surface of the through hole H due to the laser process. At the same time, the side wall surface of the through hole H is not smooth, and the roughness reaches 2μm, that is, there are hole morphology defects on the side wall surface of the through hole H, resulting in reduced reliability and transmission efficiency of metal filling interconnection.
[0074] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned diamond power device provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 For this disclosure alone Figure 1The schematic diagram of the first through hole V1 and the second through hole V2 in the present disclosure can be formed by laser drilling process and reactive ion etching process in sequence. For example, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second source electrode S2 and the second drain electrode D2 are first formed on the second side A2, and then the first through hole V1 and the second through hole V2 are formed on the first side A1 in sequence by laser drilling process and reactive ion etching process, so that the cross-sectional width of the first through hole V1 corresponding to the first side A1 is greater than the cross-sectional width thereof corresponding to the second side A2, and the cross-sectional width of the second through hole V2 corresponding to the first side A1 is greater than the cross-sectional width thereof corresponding to the second side A2, and the side wall surface roughness of the first through hole V1 and the second through hole V2 are both less than 0.1 μm. Therefore, compared with the use of reactive ion etching and focused ion etching alone for drilling, the present invention uses laser drilling to improve the diamond drilling efficiency. The reactive ion etching process after laser drilling can effectively remove non-diamond impurities (such as graphite) formed on the side walls of the through holes due to the laser process. At the same time, after reactive ion etching, the surface of the through hole can be made smooth, the morphological defects of the hole can be removed, and the reliability and transmission efficiency of the metal-filled interconnection can be improved.
[0075] It should be noted that the first side A1 and the second side A2 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be interchangeable. Figure 1 The upper side of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 is the first side A1, and the lower side is the second side A2; of course, the lower side of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 may also be the first side A1, and the upper side may be the second side A2.

[0133] (10) Fig.11IAs shown, the second SnO2 film 50 is patterned to form a second SnO2 layer 50' including a second SnO2 retention region 501 and a second SnO2 removal region 502; specifically, the specific steps of forming the second SnO2 layer 50' can be referred to Figure 11B-11E The steps are not described here.
[0134] (11) Fig.11J As shown, a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition system is used to perform plasma hydrogenation treatment on the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 formed with the second SnO2 layer 50'.

[0135] (12) Figure 11K As shown, the second SnO2 layer 50' on the second side A2 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 is removed by pickling to obtain a double-sided tin-terminated diamond with good conductivity. Optionally, the acid solution used for pickling can be diluted hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 2 mol / L, and the cleaning time can be about 20 minutes.
[0136] (13) Fig.11L As shown, a first source electrode S1 and a first drain electrode D1 are prepared on both sides of each first diamond conductive channel region 11 on the first side A1 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1; specifically, a layer of photoresist is first coated on the first side A1, and the photoresist is exposed and developed to expose the first source electrode S1 and the first drain electrode D1 regions, and then a layer of metal material (such as Ti / Au) is deposited by electron beam evaporation, and the thickness can be 0 to 100 nm, and then the remaining photoresist is washed away, and after annealing for 30 minutes, the first source electrode S1 and the first drain electrode D1 that are in ohmic contact with the tin terminal are formed.
[0137] (14) Fig.11MAs shown, a first gate dielectric layer 41 (the material may be SiO2) is formed on the side of the first source electrode S1 and the first drain electrode D1 away from the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1; specifically, a layer of photoresist is first coated on the surface of the first source electrode S1 and the first drain electrode D1, and the photoresist is exposed and developed to expose the middle area of the first diamond conductive channel region 11 and expose part of the first source electrode S1 and part of the first drain electrode D1, and then SiO2 is deposited, and then the remaining photoresist is washed away, so as to form a first gate dielectric layer 41 covering the middle area of the corresponding first diamond conductive channel region 11 and covering part of the first source electrode S1 and part of the first drain electrode D1. The first gate dielectric layer 41 covers part of the first source electrode S1 and part of the first drain electrode D1, which can reduce the electric field and increase the breakdown voltage.
[0138] (15) Fig.11N As shown, first, a layer of photoresist is coated on the surface of the first gate dielectric layer 41, and the photoresist is exposed and developed to expose the middle area of the first gate dielectric layer 41, and then a metal material (such as Ti / Au) is deposited on the side of the first gate dielectric layer 41 away from the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 using an electron beam evaporation device, and then the remaining photoresist is washed away, thereby forming a first gate electrode G1 covering the middle area of the first gate dielectric layer 41, and forming a Schottky contact, thereby forming a single-sided field effect transistor on the first side A1 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1.
[0139] like Fig.11O As shown, Fig.11O for Fig.11N Schematic diagram of the cross section along the AA' direction.
[0140] (16) Figure 11P As shown, the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 is punched at the first isolation region 12 and the second isolation region 14 to form a first through hole V1 and a second through hole V2, the first through hole V1 overlaps with the first source electrode S1, and the second through hole V2 overlaps with the first drain electrode D1.

Since the second isolation region 14 at this time is a hydrogen terminal, and the hydrogen terminal is conductive, in order to prevent the formed device from leaking electricity, the hydrogen terminal needs to be converted into an insulating region, so a second photoresist layer can be formed on the side of the second source electrode and the second drain electrode away from the tin terminal diamond, and the second photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form a second photoresist pattern including a second photoresist completely retained area and a second photoresist completely removed area; wherein the second photoresist completely retained area corresponds to the second diamond conductive channel region and the second source electrode S2 and the second drain electrode D2, and the second photoresist completely removed area corresponds to the remaining hydrogen terminal; using the second photoresist pattern as a mask, the hydrogen terminal is subjected to oxygen plasma treatment to convert the hydrogen terminal into an oxygen terminal; and the second photoresist pattern is removed. In this way, the hydrogen terminal is removed by oxygen plasma to form a second isolation region for the oxygen terminal to prevent device leakage.
[0142] Specifically, the oxygen plasma treatment process may include: using ultraviolet light / ozone and oxygen plasma to treat the hydrogen terminal, wherein the gas flow rate of oxygen or ozone is 1 to 100 sccm, the plasma power is 100 to 300 W, and the treatment time is 1 to 60 min.

In this way, a field effect transistor is formed on the second side A2 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1, that is, a field effect transistor is formed. Figure 1 The double-sided field effect transistor shown is a double-sided field effect transistor in which the upper and lower field effect transistors are connected in parallel.
[0144] It should be noted that the method for preparing the second source electrode, the second drain electrode, the second gate dielectric layer and the second gate electrode can refer to the aforementioned method for preparing the first source electrode, the first drain electrode, the first gate dielectric layer and the first gate electrode, and will not be repeated here.
[0145] It should be noted that Figure 1Only one group of double-sided parallel field effect transistors in the double-sided field effect transistors is shown schematically. The first side A1 and the second side A2 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 actually manufactured in step (18) both include a plurality of field effect transistors, that is, the first side A1 and the second side A2 both form a field effect transistor array. The planar schematic diagrams of the plurality of field effect transistors on the first side A1 and the second side A2 can be shown as follows: Fig.11N As shown, the first source electrode S1 and the second source electrode S2 of the two field effect transistors at the same position on the first side A1 and the second side A2 are electrically connected through the first connection metal 21 , and the first drain electrode D1 and the second drain electrode D2 are electrically connected through the second connection metal 22 .
