It has the title of the ultimate semiconductor material and has great application potential in the fields of high-temperature, high-frequency, and high-power electronic devices. Diamond is a wide bandgap semiconductor material with excellent performance. Different terminals can be formed on its surface after treatment, such as tin terminals, silicon terminals, hydrogen terminals, oxygen terminals, fluorine terminals, etc. Different terminal surfaces have different conductivities. Due to the characteristics of diamond materials, diamond power devices can maintain the stability of the devices in more extreme environments, can withstand higher breakdown voltages, and have better heat dissipation, so they have become a research hotspot in the scientific community.

Also, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. To keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, detailed descriptions of known functions and known components are omitted from the present disclosure.

[0065] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meanings as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains.

[0066] In the following description, when an element or layer is referred to as being "on" or "connected to" another element or layer, the element or layer can be directly on the other element or layer, directly connected to the other element or layer, or there may be intervening elements or layers. When an element or layer is referred to as being "disposed on one side of" another element or layer, the element or layer can be directly on one side of the other element or layer, directly connected to the other element or layer, or there may be intervening elements or layers.

The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0067] A diamond power device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 , Figures 4 - 9 shown, includes a double-sided structure field effect transistor. The double-sided structure field effect transistor includes a diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1. The diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 includes a first side A1 and a second side A2 which 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. 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 disposed on a side of the first diamond conductive channel region 11 facing away from the second diamond conductive channel region 13. A second source electrode S2 and a second drain electrode D2 are disposed on a side of the second diamond conductive channel region 13 facing 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] For the above diamond power device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, since both sides of a piece of diamond single crystal epitaxy have field effect transistors, a double-sided structure field effect transistor is formed, effectively reducing the cost. Moreover, since 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 a single-sided field effect transistor, the device of the present disclosure can increase the current density while maintaining the same high breakdown voltage level, and a diamond power device with both a large current density and high breakdown voltage performance is obtained.

[0070] In some embodiments, in the above diamond power device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, such as 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 through its thickness at positions corresponding to the first isolation region 12 and the second isolation region 13. 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, the short - circuit 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 a first connecting 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 a second connecting metal 22 located in the second through hole V2. In this way 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 of the present disclosure can increase the current density to 2 times while maintaining the same high breakdown voltage level, and a double - sided structure field - effect transistor with both high current density and high breakdown voltage performance is obtained.

[0073] As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the prior art that only uses a laser drilling process to form a through hole H on the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1. It can be seen that non - diamond impurities NG (such as graphite) are formed on the side wall surface of the through hole H due to the laser process, and 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 - like morphology defects on the side wall surface of the through hole H, resulting in a reduction in the reliability and transmission efficiency of metal filling interconnection.

[0074] In some embodiments, in the above - mentioned diamond power device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram separately shown in the present disclosure Figure 1Schematic diagram of the first through-hole V1 and the second through-hole V2. The first through-hole V1 and the second through-hole V2 in the present disclosure can be formed by using a laser drilling process and a reactive ion etching process in sequence. For example, in the embodiments 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 by using a laser drilling process and a reactive ion etching process in sequence. In this way, the cross-sectional width of the first through-hole V1 corresponding to the first side A1 is greater than its cross-sectional width 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 its cross-sectional width corresponding to the second side A2. The surface roughness of the side walls of the first through-hole V1 and the second through-hole V2 is less than 0.1 μm. Therefore, compared with using only reactive ion etching and focused ion beam etching for drilling, using laser drilling in the present disclosure can improve the diamond drilling efficiency. After laser drilling and then through the reactive ion etching process, non-diamond impurities (such as graphite) formed on the side walls of the through-holes due to the laser process can be effectively removed. At the same time, after reactive ion etching, the surface of the through-holes can be made smooth, the hole morphology defects can be removed, and the reliability and transmission efficiency of metal filling 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 embodiments of the present disclosure can be interchanged. For example, Figure 1 the upper side of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 is taken as the first side A1, and the lower side is taken as the second side A2; of course, it can also be that the lower side of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 is taken as the first side A1, and the upper side is taken as the second side A2.

[0076] Specifically, a femtosecond laser with a pulse repetition frequency of 2 kHz, a pulse width of 120 fs, and a power of 0.35 W can be used to drill holes in the isolation region of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 to form the first through-hole and the second through-hole. Then, reactive ion etching is used to further optimize the etching of the first through-hole and the second through-hole, including: the reactive ion etching process is carried out in a microwave chemical vapor deposition system, where the reaction gas is H2 / Ar, the flow rate of the H2 gas is 20 - 40 sccm, the flow rate of the Ar gas is 10 - 30 sccm, the microwave input power is 800 - 1200 W, the reaction gas pressure is 0.8 - 2 kPa, the bias voltage applied to the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer is -400 - -200 V, and the etching time is 1 - 2 h.

[0077] Optionally, the materials of the first source electrode S1, the second source electrode S2, the first drain electrode D1, and the second drain electrode D2 can be Ti / Au, but are not limited thereto.

The material of the first gate dielectric layer 41 may be SiO2, but is certainly not limited thereto.

[0082] The second gate electrode G2 is located on a side of the second gate dielectric layer 42 away from the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 . Optionally, the material of the first gate electrode G1 may be Ti / Au, but is certainly not limited thereto.

Optionally, the first diamond conductive channel region 11 is a hydrogen terminal, a tin terminal, or a silicon terminal, and the second diamond conductive channel region 13 is a hydrogen terminal, a tin terminal, or a silicon terminal.

[0084] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned diamond power device provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 1 As shown, the first diamond conductive channel region 11 and the second diamond conductive channel region 13 can also be composite conductive terminals. For example, the first diamond conductive channel region 11 can be a composite structure of at least two conductive terminals among hydrogen terminals, tin terminals or silicon terminals, and the second diamond conductive channel region 13 can also be a composite structure of at least two conductive terminals among hydrogen terminals, tin terminals or silicon terminals.

[0085] Specifically, the embodiment of the present disclosure takes the case where both the first diamond conductive channel region 11 and the second diamond conductive channel region 13 are tin terminals as an example.

[0086] In some embodiments, the materials of the first connecting metal 21 and the second connecting metal 22 may be the same as those of the first source electrode S1 and the first drain electrode D1, that is, the first connecting metal 21 and the second connecting metal 22 and the first source electrode S1 and the first drain electrode D1 may be formed by a single deposition process.

[0100] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned diamond power device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 9 shown, the double-sided structure field effect transistor further includes:

[0101] A first gate dielectric layer 41 covers the first source electrode S1 and the third drain electrode D3 and covers the first sub-channel region 111 between the first source electrode S1 and the third drain electrode D3; specifically, the first gate dielectric layer 41 is in contact with the first source electrode S1 and the third drain electrode D3, which can reduce the electric field and increase the breakdown voltage.

[0110] It should be noted that, Figure 9 Taking the series connection of two spaced-apart field-effect transistors formed on both sides of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 as an example, of course, three or more spaced-apart field-effect transistors can also be formed in series on both sides of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1, so as to obtain a large-current diamond power device with multiple times higher breakdown voltage.

[0111] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a preparation method of the above diamond power device. Since the principle of solving problems by this preparation method is similar to that of the above diamond power device, therefore, the implementation of this preparation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can refer to the implementation of the above diamond power device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0112] In some embodiments, the preparation method of the above diamond power device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 10 shown, may include:

[0113] S1001. Form a first diamond conductive channel region and a first isolation region located outside the first diamond conductive channel region on the first side of the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer;

[0114] S1002. Form a second diamond conductive channel region and a second isolation region located outside the second diamond conductive channel region on the second side of the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer; the first side and the second side are oppositely arranged;

[0115] S1003. Prepare a first source electrode and a first drain electrode on both sides within the first diamond conductive channel region;

[0116] S1004. Prepare a second source electrode and a second drain electrode on both sides within the second diamond conductive channel region, the first source electrode and the second source electrode are electrically connected, and the first drain electrode and the second drain electrode are electrically connected.

[0117] In some embodiments, in the above preparation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, after performing step S1003 to prepare the first source electrode and the first drain electrode on both sides within the first diamond conductive channel region, and before performing step 1004 to prepare the second source electrode and the second drain electrode on both sides within the second diamond conductive channel region, it further includes: successively adopting a laser drilling process and a reactive ion etching process on the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer at the positions of the first isolation region and the second isolation region to form a first through hole and a second through hole, the first through hole overlaps with the first source electrode, and the second through hole overlaps with the first drain electrode;

[0118] When performing step S1004 to prepare the second source electrode and the second drain electrode on both sides within the second diamond conductive channel region, a first connection metal filled in the first through hole and a second connection metal filled in the second through hole are simultaneously formed.

[0119] In some embodiments, in the above preparation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the laser drilling process uses a femtosecond laser with a pulse repetition frequency of 2 kHz, a pulse width of 120 fs, and a power of 0.35 W;

[0120] The reactive ion etching process is carried out in a microwave chemical vapor deposition system, where the reactive gas is H2 / Ar, the flow rate of H2 gas is 20 - 40 sccm, the flow rate of Ar gas is 10 - 30 sccm, the microwave input power is 800 - 1200 W, the reaction pressure is 0.8 - 2 kPa, the bias voltage applied to the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer is -400 - -200 V, and the etching time is 1 - 2 h. In this way, laser drilling can improve the diamond drilling efficiency. After laser drilling and then through the reactive ion etching process, non-diamond impurities (such as graphite) formed on the sidewalls of the through holes due to the laser process can be effectively removed. At the same time, the surface of the through holes can be smoothed after reactive ion etching, the hole morphology defects can be removed, and the reliability and transmission efficiency of metal-filled interconnections can be improved.

[0121] Next, taking the preparation of Figure 1 the diamond power device shown as an example, the above preparation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. Among them, both the first diamond conductive channel region 11 and the second diamond conductive channel region 13 are tin terminals.

[0122] The preparation of Figure 1 the diamond power device shown specifically includes the following steps:

[0123] (1) Polish and clean the surface of the diamond single crystal to obtain the treated diamond single crystal 10; specifically, first, cut and polish the diamond single crystal so that the surface roughness reaches 0 - 10 nm; second, perform inorganic cleaning and organic cleaning on the polished diamond single crystal, and rinse it in flowing deionized water and then dry it with a nitrogen gun. Optionally, the inorganic cleaning may include: cleaning the polished diamond single crystal with a mixed solution of heated sulfuric acid and nitric acid; the organic cleaning may include: ultrasonically cleaning with acetone, ethanol or isopropanol and deionized water for 0 - 30 minutes respectively.

[0124] (2) As Figure 11A shown, deposit the first SnO2 thin film 20 on the surface of the treated diamond single crystal 10 by means of electron beam evaporation, thermal evaporation, magnetron sputtering, atomic layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition; the thickness of the first SnO2 thin film 20 can be 0 - 600 nm, such as 100 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, etc.

[0125] It should be noted that in step (2) of the embodiments of the present disclosure, depositing an SnO2 thin film is taken as an example. Of course, an SnO thin film can also be deposited.

[0126] (3) As Figure 11B shown, form a first photoresist layer 30 on the side of the first SnO2 thin film 20 away from the diamond single crystal 10, and the thickness of the first photoresist layer 30 can be 1 - 10 μm.

[0127] (4) As Figure 11C shown, the first photoresist layer 30 is exposed and developed to form a first photoresist pattern 30' including a first photoresist completely retained region 301 and a first photoresist completely removed region 302.

[0128] (5) As Figure 11D shown, using the first photoresist pattern 30' as a mask, the first SnO2 thin film 20 is etched by reactive ion etching (RIE) to form a patterned first SnO2 layer 20', and the first SnO2 layer 20' includes a first SnO2 retained region 201 and a first SnO2 removed region 202; specifically, the reaction gas introduced into the reactive ion etching equipment can be a gas mixture of HBr / Ar (hydrogen bromide / argon), the percentage of Ar in the gas mixture can be 0%-100% (and not 100%), the input power can be 400-700W, and the air pressure can be 4-10mTorr.

[0129] (6) As Figure 11E shown, the first photoresist pattern 30' is removed, that is, a first SnO2 layer 20' including a first SnO2 retained region 201 and a first SnO2 removed region 202 is formed.

[0130] (7) As Figure 11FAs shown in the figure, a diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 is epitaxially grown on the surface of the first SnO₂ layer 20 by using a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) device. The temperature inside the MPCVD is set to 800 °C - 1200 °C, and the pressure is set to 100 - 200 mbar. A mixed gas of H₂, CH₄, and N₂ is introduced into the MPCVD, where the flow rate of H₂ is 200 - 600 sccm, the flow rate of CH₄ is 0 - 100 sccm, and the flow rate of N₂ is 0.01 - 1 sccm. In this way, a diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 can be laterally heteroepitaxially grown on the diamond single crystal 10 formed with the first SnO₂ layer 20'. The thickness of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 can be 300 μm - 1000 μm, such as 300 μm, 400 μm, 500 μm, 600 μm, 700 μm, 800 μm, 900 μm, 1000 μm, etc. Due to the high temperature inside the MPCVD, Sn in the first SnO₂ layer 20' undergoes thermal diffusion to displace C in the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 to form a carbon-tin bond. Thus, on the first side A1 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 facing the diamond single crystal 10, a first diamond conductive channel region 11 (i.e., tin terminal) corresponding to the first SnO₂ retention region 201 and a first isolation region 12 (i.e., non-tin terminal) corresponding to the first SnO₂ removal region 202 can be formed. After that, the inside of the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition device is cooled down, and the grown diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 will have uneven stress to achieve self-peeling, so that the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 formed with the first diamond conductive channel region 11 and the first isolation region 12 peels off from the first SnO₂ layer 20'.

[0131] (8) As shown in Figure 11G the figure, Figure 11G Figure Figure 11F is a plan view of the first side A1 of the peeled diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 in

[0132] (9) As shown in Figure 11H the figure, a second SnO₂ thin film 50 is deposited on the second side A2 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 by using electron beam evaporation, thermal evaporation, magnetron sputtering, atomic layer deposition, or chemical vapor deposition methods. The second side A2 and the first side A1 are oppositely arranged; optionally, the thickness of the second SnO₂ thin film 50 can be 0 - 600 nm, such as 100 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, etc.

[0133] (10) As shown in Figure 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, for the specific steps of forming the second SnO₂ layer 50', reference can be made to Figures 11B - 11E the steps, which will not be elaborated here.

[0134] (11) As Figure 11J shown, the diamond single-crystal epitaxial layer 1 with the second SnO₂ layer 50' formed thereon is subjected to plasma hydrogenation treatment using a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition system. The temperature of the plasma hydrogenation treatment is 900 - 1200 °C, the hydrogen flow rate is 400 - 600 sccm, the gas pressure is 110 - 130 Torr, and the treatment time is 10 - 30 min. In this way, the second side A2 of the diamond single-crystal epitaxial layer 1 corresponding to the second SnO₂ retention region 501 is converted into a second diamond conductive channel region 13 (i.e., tin terminal) by the strong reduction and thermal environment of the hydrogen plasma, and the region corresponding to the second SnO₂ removal region 502 is converted into a second isolation region 14 (at this time, the second isolation region 14 is a hydrogen terminal), that is, a second diamond conductive channel region 13 and a second isolation region 14 are formed on the second side A2 of the diamond single-crystal epitaxial layer 1.

[0135] (12) As Figure 11K 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-terminal diamond with better conductivity. Optionally, the pickling solution can be dilute hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 2 mol / L, and the cleaning time can be about 20 minutes.

[0136] (13) As Figure 11L shown, first source electrodes S1 and first drain electrodes D1 are prepared on both sides within each first diamond conductive channel region 11 on the first side A1 of the diamond single-crystal epitaxial layer 1. Specifically, first, a layer of photoresist is coated on the first side A1, and the photoresist is exposed and developed to expose the regions of the first source electrodes S1 and the first drain electrodes D1. Then, a layer of metal material (such as Ti / Au) with a thickness of 0 - 100 nm is deposited by electron beam evaporation. Subsequently, the remaining photoresist is washed away, and after annealing for 30 minutes, the first source electrodes S1 and the first drain electrodes D1 that are in ohmic contact with the tin terminal are formed.

[0137] (14) As Figure 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 a portion of the first source electrode S1 and a portion of the first drain electrode D1, and then SiO2 is deposited, and the remaining photoresist is subsequently washed away, thereby forming a first gate dielectric layer 41 covering the corresponding middle area of the first diamond conductive channel region 11 and covering a portion of the first source electrode S1 and a portion of the first drain electrode D1. The first gate dielectric layer 41 covers a portion of the first source electrode S1 and a portion of the first drain electrode D1, which can reduce the electric field and increase the breakdown voltage.

[0138] (15) Figure 11N As shown, a layer of photoresist is first 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. Then, an electron beam evaporation device is used to deposit a metal material (such as Ti / Au) on the side of the first gate dielectric layer 41 away from the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1. The remaining photoresist is then washed away to form a first gate electrode G1 covering the middle area of the first gate dielectric layer 41 and a Schottky contact. In this way, a single-sided field effect transistor is formed on the first side A1 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1.

[0139] like Figure 11O As shown, Figure 11O for Figure 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.

[0141] (17) Figure 11QAs shown, second source electrodes S2 and second drain electrodes D2 are fabricated on both sides within each second diamond conductive channel region 13 on the second side A2 of the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer 1. Meanwhile, a first connecting metal 21 filled in the first through-hole V1 and a second connecting metal 22 filled in the second through-hole V2 are formed. Since the second isolation region 14 is hydrogen-terminated at this time and hydrogen-terminated regions conduct electricity, in order to prevent the formed device from leaking electricity, it is necessary to convert the hydrogen-terminated region into an insulating region. Therefore, a second photoresist layer can be formed on the side of the second source electrode and the second drain electrode facing away from the tin-terminated diamond, and the second photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form a second photoresist pattern including a second photoresist completely retained region and a second photoresist completely removed region; wherein, the second photoresist completely retained region corresponds to the second diamond conductive channel region, the second source electrode S2, and the second drain electrode D2, and the second photoresist completely removed region corresponds to the remaining hydrogen-terminated regions; using the second photoresist pattern as a mask, the hydrogen-terminated regions are subjected to oxygen plasma treatment to convert the hydrogen-terminated regions into oxygen-terminated regions; the second photoresist pattern is removed. In this way, oxygen plasma removal is performed on the hydrogen-terminated regions to form a second isolation region that is oxygen-terminated, preventing device leakage.

[0142] Specifically, the above oxygen plasma treatment process may specifically include: using ultraviolet / ozone and oxygen plasma to treat the hydrogen-terminated regions, where the gas flow rate of oxygen or ozone is 1 - 100 sccm, the power of the plasma is 100 - 300 W, and the treatment time is 1 - 60 min.

[0143] (18) As Figure 1 shown, a second gate dielectric layer 41 is formed on the side of the second source electrode S2 and the second drain electrode D2 away from the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer 1. The second gate dielectric layer 41 covers the middle region of the corresponding second diamond conductive channel region 13 and covers part of the second source electrode S2 and part of the second drain electrode D2; a second gate electrode G2 is formed on the side of the second gate dielectric layer 42 away from the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer 1. The second gate electrode G2 covers the middle region of the second gate dielectric layer 42. In this way, a field-effect transistor is formed on the second side A2 of the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer 1, that is, a double-sided field-effect transistor with top and bottom field-effect transistors connected in parallel as Figure 1 shown.

[0144] It should be noted that the methods for fabricating the second source electrode, the second drain electrode, the second gate dielectric layer, and the second gate electrode can refer to the methods for fabricating the first source electrode, the first drain electrode, the first gate dielectric layer, and the first gate electrode described above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0145] It should be noted that, Figure 1Only a group of double-sided parallel field-effect transistors in the double-sided field-effect transistor is schematically shown. Both the first side A1 and the second side A2 of the diamond single-crystal epitaxial layer 1 actually fabricated in step (18) include multiple field-effect transistors, that is, both the first side A1 and the second side A2 form a field-effect transistor array. The planar schematic diagrams of the multiple field-effect transistors on the first side A1 and the second side A2 can both be as shown in Figure 11N shown. The first source electrode S1 and the second source electrode S2 of two field-effect transistors at the same position on the first side A1 and the second side A2 are electrically connected through the first connecting metal 21, and the first drain electrode D1 and the second drain electrode D2 are electrically connected through the second connecting metal 22.

[0146] (19) Slice the double-sided field-effect transistor array prepared in step (18). The slicing can adopt the method of laser cutting. Use a pulsed laser operating at 532 nm or 1064 nm to longitudinally slice the isolation region of the diamond single-crystal epitaxial layer through an electric control machine tool to obtain Figure 1 the single parallel double-sided field-effect transistor with one field-effect transistor included on each side as shown.

[0147] In this way, through the above steps (1)-(19), the diamond power device as shown in Figure 1 can be formed.

[0148] Specifically, connect two Figure 1 shown double-sided parallel field-effect transistors in series with wires, and a series integrated device as shown in Figure 4 can be formed.

[0149] Specifically, connect two Figure 1 shown double-sided parallel field-effect transistors in parallel with wires, and a parallel integrated device as shown in Figure 5 can be formed.

[0150] Next, taking the preparation of the diamond power device as shown in Figure 6 as an example, the above preparation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. Among them, both the first diamond conductive channel region 11 and the second diamond conductive channel region 13 are tin terminals.

[0151] The preparation of the diamond power device as shown in Figure 6 specifically includes the following steps:

[0152] 1. Use the above steps (1)-(15) to form a single-sided field-effect transistor on the first side A1 of the diamond single-crystal epitaxial layer 1.

[0153] 2. Without perforating the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1, directly fabricate a second source electrode S2, a second drain electrode D2, a second gate dielectric layer 41, and a second gate electrode G2 on the second side A2 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1. In this way, multiple field effect transistors are formed on the second side A2 of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1, that is, the Figure 12 shown double-sided field effect transistor is formed.

[0154] It should be noted that Figure 12 only one group of double-sided field effect transistors in the double-sided field effect transistor is schematically shown. In step 2, both the first side A1 and the second side A2 of the actually fabricated diamond single crystal epitaxial layer 1 include multiple field effect transistors, that is, both the first side A1 and the second side A2 form a field effect transistor array. The planar schematic diagrams of the multiple field effect transistors on the first side A1 and the second side A2 can both be as Figure 11N shown. Figure 12 Different from Figure 1 is that the field effect transistors on both sides are not connected.

[0155] 3. Next, slice the double-sided field effect transistor array made in step 2. The slicing can be performed by laser cutting. Use a pulsed laser operating at 532 nm or 1064 nm to longitudinally slice the isolation region of the diamond single crystal epitaxial layer through an electric control machine tool to obtain Figure 12 the single double-sided field effect transistor with one field effect transistor on each side as shown.

[0156] 4. Electrically connect the first source electrode S1 and the second source electrode S2 with a first wire 31, and electrically connect the first drain electrode D1 and the second drain electrode D2 with a second wire 32, then the Figure 6 shown diamond power device can be formed.

[0157] Specifically, specifically, connect two Figure 6 shown double-sided parallel field effect transistors in series, then the Figure 7 shown series integrated device can be formed.

[0158] Specifically, connect two Figure 6 shown double-sided parallel field effect transistors in parallel, then the Figure 8 shown parallel integrated device can be formed.

[0159] Next, taking the preparation of the Figure 9 shown diamond power device as an example, the above preparation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. Among them, both the first diamond conductive channel region 11 and the second diamond conductive channel region 13 are tin terminals.

[0161] 1. Form a single-sided field-effect transistor on the first side A1 of the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer 1 by using the above steps (1)-(15).

[0162] 2. Without drilling holes in the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer 1, directly fabricate a second source electrode S2, a second drain electrode D2, a second gate dielectric layer 41, and a second gate electrode G2 on the second side A2 of the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer 1. In this way, multiple field-effect transistors are formed on the second side A2 of the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer 1, that is, the Figure 13 shown double-sided field-effect transistor is formed.

[0163] It should be noted that Figure 13 only two groups of double-sided field-effect transistors in the double-sided field-effect transistor are schematically shown. In step 2, both the first side A1 and the second side A2 of the actually fabricated single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer 1 include multiple field-effect transistors, that is, both the first side A1 and the second side A2 form a field-effect transistor array. The planar schematic diagrams of the multiple field-effect transistors on the first side A1 and the second side A2 can both be as Figure 11N shown. Figure 13 Different from Figure 1 is that the field-effect transistors on both sides are not connected.

[0164] 3. Then, slice the double-sided field-effect transistor array made in step 2. The slicing can be performed by using a laser cutting method. Use a pulsed laser operating at 532 nm or 1064 nm to longitudinally slice the isolation region of the single-crystal diamond epitaxial layer through an electric control machine tool to obtain Figure 13 the structure in which each side includes at least two field-effect transistors as shown.

[0165] 4. Electrically connect the first source electrode S1 and the second source electrode S2 in Figure 13 by using a first conducting wire 31, electrically connect the first drain electrode D1 and the second drain electrode D2 in Figure 13 by using a second conducting wire 32, electrically connect the third drain electrode D3 and the third source electrode S3 in Figure 13 by using a third conducting wire 33, and electrically connect the fourth drain electrode D4 and the fourth source electrode S4 in Figure 13 by using a fourth conducting wire 34, then a diamond power device as Figure 9 shown can be formed.
