[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0050] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0051] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.
[0052] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that if the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc. appear to indicate an orientation or position relationship, they are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientation or position relationship in which the product of the invention is usually placed when used. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0053] In addition, the terms “first”, “second”, etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish between the descriptions and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0054] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.
[0055] It should be noted that when preparing ohmic contact by ion implantation, the distribution depth of the doped ions is mainly proportional to the energy of the implanted ions. The greater the ion energy, the greater the implantation depth of the doped ions. However, this is also accompanied by increased bombardment damage to the material by the implanted ions, and the doped ions are distributed in a Gaussian distribution with high concentration in the middle and low concentration on both sides. Ordinary ion implantation doping methods cannot control the concentration peak of the doped ions to concentrate on the surface, and have limited effect on reducing the ohmic contact resistance. In addition, the implanted ions easily extend to the channel layer and below, causing damage to non-essential implantation areas.
[0056] The following describes in detail a gallium nitride device preparation method provided by an embodiment of the present invention and the corresponding technical effects it brings, in conjunction with the patent drawings.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 10 , a gallium nitride preparation method provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0058] Please refer to Figure 3-Figure 10 , S100: providing a gallium nitride prefabricated device, the gallium nitride prefabricated device comprising a stacked channel layer 3 and a barrier layer 4, and a P-type gallium nitride layer 6.
[0059] In detail, the gallium nitride prefabricated device also includes a stacked substrate 1 and a buffer layer 2, wherein the buffer layer 2 is located between the substrate 1 and the channel layer 3, that is, the substrate 1, the buffer layer 2, the channel layer 3, and the barrier layer 4 are stacked in sequence.
[0060] S300: depositing a protective layer on the surface of the barrier layer and the P-type gallium nitride layer away from the channel layer, that is, depositing a protective layer 7 on the surface of the barrier layer 4 away from the channel layer 3;
[0061] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the protective layer 7 is a silicon nitride protective layer 7 with a thickness of 20 to 300 nm. Of course, in some other embodiments, the protective layer 7 may also be a silicon dioxide protective layer 7 or be made of other insulating materials.
[0062] S400: performing photolithography on the protective layer 7 to expose two preset regions 5, the two preset regions 5 being located on both sides of the P-type gallium nitride layer 6, and performing preset ion doping on the two preset regions 5;
[0063] It can be understood that in an optional embodiment, photolithography is performed on the surface of the protective layer 7 to expose the preset area 5, and the rest is covered by photoresist, and the protective layer 7 is provided on the upper side of the barrier layer 4 away from the channel layer 3.
[0064] Therefore, when the preset ion doping is performed on the two preset areas 5, the photoresist will prevent the doped ions from affecting the area outside the preset area 5, that is, the injected preset ions will only form doping in the preset area 5. In addition, the setting of the thickness of the protective layer 7 and the injection energy will control the peak concentration of the injected ion distribution in the surface area of the barrier layer, and suppress the injection of ions from extending to the channel layer and below, reducing the loss to other areas, and can effectively cause the ohmic metal to tunnel with the two-dimensional electron gas layer to form a low-resistance ohmic contact.
[0065] S500: forming an isolation region 11 in the inactive region of the barrier layer 4 and the channel layer 3;
[0066] It can be understood that by etching the grooves, or by implanting N ions or Ar ions, the conductive two-dimensional electron gas between the barrier layer and the channel layer in the non-active region is destroyed;
[0067] S600: forming a source 9 and a drain 10 of the device respectively on the two preset regions 5;
[0068] It can be understood that the ohmic metal of the source 9 and the drain 10 is prepared on the heavily doped preset region 5 so that the ohmic metal and the two-dimensional electron gas layer undergo tunneling to form a low-resistance ohmic contact.
[0069] Therefore, through the above method, it can be ensured that during doping, the preset ions are concentrated on the surface of the preset area 5 in contact with the source 9 and the drain 10. It is easy to understand that the preset area 5 is an ion doping area and will not affect other areas.
[0070] In detail, performing preset ion doping on the two preset areas 5 and forming the source 9 and the drain 10 on the two preset areas 5 specifically includes: injecting preset ions on the two preset areas 5 for N-type heavy doping, and performing metal deposition on the two preset areas 5, and forming a first metal layer and a second metal layer on the two preset areas 5 respectively, and then etching the first metal layer and the second metal layer by using a photolithography process to form the source 9 and the drain 10 respectively.
[0071] It should be noted that before metal deposition is performed on the two preset areas 5, the two preset areas 5 are also annealed in a preset temperature range, and the preset temperature range is between 900°C and 1200°C. It should be noted that the annealing treatment can effectively activate the doped ions to repair the damage caused during the ion injection process and optimize the electrical performance.
[0072] Optionally, the implantation of the preset ions in the preset region 5 is divided into multiple implantations. It should be noted that multiple low-dose implantations, rather than a one-time high-dose implantation, can reduce damage accumulation while maintaining a higher final doping concentration (for example, the following 10-40 KeV / @2E14-16 cm -2 , 40~80KeV / @4E14~16cm -2 , 80~120KeV / @2E14~16cm -2 It should be noted that the actual energy is set according to the thickness of the dielectric protection layer).
[0073] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned preset ions are silicon ions, that is, silicon ions are implanted into the two preset regions 5 for N-type heavy doping.
[0074] It is understandable that silicon ions, as N-type dopants, will significantly increase the electron concentration in local areas after being injected into semiconductor materials such as GaN. High doping concentration brings the Fermi level closer to the bottom of the conduction band, thereby reducing the Schottky barrier height, and through heavy doping, the difference in barrier height between metal and semiconductor can be reduced, allowing more free electrons to migrate from semiconductors to metals, forming low-resistance ohmic contacts. In addition, high-concentration silicon ion doping can provide better stability during high-temperature annealing, prevent doped atoms from diffusing or escaping, and maintain good electrical properties.
[0075] It should be noted that heavy doping also helps to form a more uniform and smooth metal-semiconductor interface, reducing interface defects and roughness and improving contact quality.
[0076] S700: A gate 8 is formed on the barrier layer 4
[0077] In detail, in some optional embodiments, the gallium nitride prefabricated device further includes a P-type gallium nitride layer 6, that is, the substrate 1, the buffer layer 2, the channel layer 3, the barrier layer 4 and the P-type gallium nitride layer 6 are stacked in sequence.
[0078] Before depositing the protective layer 7 , the process further includes S200 : on the P-type gallium nitride layer, photolithography and etching are performed to leave the required shape of the P-type gallium nitride layer 6 .
[0079] Among them, the protective layer 7 covers the side of the P-type gallium nitride layer 6 away from the barrier layer 4, and the gate is arranged on the side of the P-type gallium nitride layer 6 away from the barrier layer 4. That is to say, in this embodiment, the gate 8 is directly arranged on the P-type gallium nitride layer 6, and the two preset areas 5 are located on both sides of the P-type gallium nitride layer 6.
[0080] In detail, first, a through hole is opened in the protective layer 7 to expose the P-type gallium nitride layer 6, and a gate 8 metal layer is deposited on the wafer with the P-type gallium nitride layer 6 exposed, and then a photoresist is applied on a partial area of the gate 8 metal layer. In detail, the photoresist is spin-coated on the wafer, and an unexpected part of the gate 8 metal pattern is exposed by exposure and development. The gate 8 metal layer is etched under the blocking of the photoresist, and the photoresist is removed after the etching is completed to form a gate electrode.
[0081] In this embodiment, after the gate 8 is formed on the P-type gallium nitride layer 6, the method for preparing a gallium nitride device further includes: depositing a passivation layer 12 on the surface of the barrier layer 4, the electrode surface, and the P-type gallium nitride surface away from the channel layer 3, and through photolithography and etching, the passivation layer 12 covers the top surface of the barrier layer 4, exposing the source 9, the drain 10, and the gate 8 surface. That is, the passivation layer 12 is deposited on the side of the barrier layer 4 away from the channel layer 3, the passivation layer 12 covers the top surface of the barrier layer 4, exposing the top surfaces of the source 9 and the drain 10, and the top surface of the gate 8 exposes the passivation layer 12.
[0082] It should be noted that the material of the passivation layer 12 may include but is not limited to silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide or other materials with insulating properties. It can be understood that by setting the passivation layer 12, the surface of the silicon nitride device can be passivated, and the source 9, the drain 10 and the gate 8 can be isolated, thereby reducing the surface resistance trap density of the gallium nitride device to inhibit current collapse.
[0083] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention further provides a gallium nitride device, which is made by the above-mentioned gallium nitride device preparation method. The gallium nitride device includes a substrate 1, a buffer layer 2, a channel layer 3, and a barrier layer 4 which are stacked in sequence. The barrier layer 4 is provided with a source 9, a drain 10 and a gate 8 which are spaced apart. The channel layer 3 and the barrier layer 4 are both provided with an isolation region 11 in the inactive regions. The gallium nitride device also includes a protective layer 7 and a passivation layer 12 which are stacked. The protective layer 7 covers the barrier layer 4. The protective layer 7 on the side away from the barrier layer 4 is provided with the passivation layer 12. That is, the side of the protective layer 7 away from the barrier layer 4 is provided with the passivation layer 12, and the upper surfaces of the source 9, the gate 8 and the drain 10 are exposed from the passivation layer 12.
[0084] Optionally, in some embodiments, the gallium nitride device further includes a P-type gallium nitride layer 6. Specifically, the substrate 1, the buffer layer 2, the channel layer 3, the barrier layer 4 and the P-type gallium nitride layer 6 are stacked in sequence, wherein the gate 8 is arranged on a side of the P-type gallium nitride layer 6 away from the barrier layer 4.
[0085] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the buffer layer 2 is undoped or lightly doped AlN or AlGaN, etc. The buffer layer 2 is a transition layer that can alleviate lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch and provide a high-quality growth foundation for the subsequently grown channel layer 3 and barrier layer 4.
[0086] The channel layer 3 may be undoped or lightly doped GaN, which mainly provides a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel to ensure efficient current transmission. The barrier layer 4 is an AlGaN barrier layer 4 .
[0087] In summary, an embodiment of the present invention provides a gallium nitride device preparation method and a gallium nitride device, wherein the gallium nitride device is made by the gallium nitride device preparation method, and the gallium nitride device preparation method comprises providing a gallium nitride prefabricated device, wherein the gallium nitride prefabricated device comprises a stacked channel layer 3, a barrier layer 4 and a P-type gallium nitride layer 6; then, on the P-type gallium nitride layer 6, by photolithography and etching, a required P-type gallium nitride shape is left, and a protective layer 7 is deposited on the surface of the barrier layer 4 and the P-type gallium nitride layer 6 away from the channel layer 3; photolithography is performed on the protective layer 7 to expose two preset areas 5, and preset ion doping is performed on the two preset areas 5, and the two preset areas 5 are located on both sides of the P-type gallium nitride layer 6; an isolation region 11 is formed in the non-active area of the barrier layer 4 and the channel layer 3; and a device source 9 and a drain 10 are formed on the two preset areas 5, respectively. By setting the thickness of the protective layer 7 and the energy of the injected ions in the preset area 5, the peak concentration of the injected ions can be controlled on the surface of the barrier layer 4, reducing the contact resistance, and suppressing the injection of ions from extending to the channel layer 3 and below, reducing the loss to other areas.
[0088] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
