Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gallium nitride transistors, and in particular to a common-source and common-gate cascade type high-voltage and high-current gallium nitride power device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Gallium nitride high electron mobility transistor (GaN HEMT) has the characteristics of high mobility, high breakdown field strength, and wide bandgap. According to the switching state of GaN HEMT power devices at zero voltage, the common types of power devices on the market can be divided into p-type gate GaN HEMT and cascode cascade GaN HEMT. Compared with p-type gate GaN HEMT power devices, cascode cascode GaN HEMT power devices have high threshold voltage and excellent on-resistance performance, and are more suitable for industrial scenarios with high requirements for working stability. Cascode cascade GaN HEMT power devices consist of a low-voltage enhancement-mode silicon-based switch tube Si MOS, such as Figure 3 As shown in 1, a high-voltage depletion-mode GaN HEMT power device is connected in series in the form of a common source and a common gate, as shown in Figure 3 As shown in 2.

[0003] Currently, GaN HEMT power device products on the market are mainly prepared using gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon (Si) substrates due to cost and process popularity. However, silicon (Si) is a narrow bandgap semiconductor, and its leakage current surges with increasing voltage. Therefore, silicon (Si)-based gallium nitride (GaN) is mainly used in the production of GaN HEMT power devices with a withstand voltage of 900V and below. In order to improve the withstand voltage of power devices, the most direct way is to replace the substrate with an insulating material, such as sapphire. However, insulating materials such as sapphire have low thermal conductivity, which is only 16% of silicon (Si) materials, so they can only be used in low current scenarios.

[0004] In order to increase the operating current of high-voltage sapphire-based GaN HEMT power devices, a common method is to thin the substrate. According to the heat transfer path, in order to achieve the same thermal conductivity as silicon-based GaN HEMT power devices, the thickness of the sapphire substrate needs to be reduced to 16% of the silicon Si substrate, which is about 20 to 50 microns according to the actual grain thickness. With such a thin thickness, the power device packaging yield will drop significantly. The common treatment method is to thin the sapphire substrate to 100 to 150 microns, which means that half of the heat dissipation capacity is lost compared to silicon-based devices. If the same operating current is to be achieved, the area of ​​the GaN HEMT power device needs to be expanded accordingly. After the area of ​​the GaN HEMT power device is increased, the cost and process yield of the power device cannot be guaranteed, which has led to the fact that sapphire-based GaN HEMT power devices have not been widely used in high-voltage and high-current scenarios. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them.

[0037] The embodiments of the present application provide a common-source and common-gate cascade type high-voltage and high-current gallium nitride power device and a manufacturing method thereof, which solve the technical problem that the structure of the existing GaN HEMT power device cannot be applied to high-voltage and high-current scenarios.

[0038] Embodiment 1:

[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a common-source and common-gate cascade type high-voltage and high-current gallium nitride power device described in an embodiment of the present application.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a common source and common gate cascade type high voltage and high current gallium nitride power device, including a thermal conductive substrate 10 and a silicon-based switch tube 20 and a gallium nitride device 30 arranged on the thermal conductive substrate 10. The silicon-based switch tube 20 and the gallium nitride device 30 are connected in common source and common gate cascade.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the thermally conductive substrate 10 is used to provide support for the silicon-based switch tube 20 and the gallium nitride device 30 .

[0042] It should be noted that the thermally conductive substrate 10 may be a high thermally conductive aluminum substrate.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the silicon-based switch tube 20 is disposed on the heat-conducting substrate 10. The silicon-based switch tube 20 includes a tube body 21, a second source electrode 22, a second gate electrode 23, and a second drain electrode 24, wherein the second source electrode 22 and the second gate electrode 23 are disposed above the tube body 21, and the second drain electrode 24 is disposed below the tube body 21, and the second drain electrode 24 is disposed on the heat-conducting substrate 10.

[0044] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the silicon-based switch tube 20 is arranged on the left side of the heat-conducting substrate 10. The second drain 24 is arranged on the heat-conducting substrate 10 through a heat-conducting silver paste. In this embodiment, the silicon-based switch tube 20 is a switch tube device for cascode connection with the gallium nitride device 30. The silicon-based switch tube 20 can be a MOS tube. In other embodiments, the silicon-based switch tube 20 can also be a triode, an IGBT tube, etc.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the gallium nitride device 30 is disposed on the thermally conductive substrate 10, the gallium nitride device 30 is connected to the silicon-based switch tube 20, a through hole 31 is etched on the back side of the structure of the gallium nitride device 30, the through hole 31 is connected to the drain on the front side of the structure of the gallium nitride device 30, and the through hole 31 is filled with a high thermal conductivity metal for reducing the thermal resistance of the gallium nitride device 30 to increase the working current of the gallium nitride device 30.

[0046] It should be noted that the gallium nitride device 30 may be a switch tube device using a hemt structure of GAN. The hemt structure of GAN is a variant that uses a semiconductor device HEMT (High-Electron-Mobility Transistor) as a component in the generator and the discriminator. HEMT is a special transistor with advantages such as high speed, high gain and low noise. In this embodiment, through-hole etching is performed on the back of the gallium nitride device 30 based on the GaN HEMT structure, and a high thermal conductivity metal is filled. At the same time, the high thermal conductivity metal is connected to the front drain of the gallium nitride device 30, which effectively reduces the thermal resistance of the gallium nitride device 30 while ensuring the normal electrical working conditions of the gallium nitride device 30, and improves the heat dissipation capacity of the gallium nitride device 30, thereby reducing the area of ​​the gallium nitride device 30 to improve the manufacturing yield of the gallium nitride device 30. Among them, the high thermal conductivity metal can be selected as copper. In other embodiments, the high thermal conductivity metal can also be selected as aluminum, silver, gold, tungsten, etc.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the common-source and common-gate cascade type high-voltage and high-current gallium nitride power device etches a through hole in the gallium nitride device 30 and fills a high thermal conductivity metal in the through hole 31. The high thermal conductivity metal is connected to the drain of the gallium nitride device 30, thereby effectively reducing the thermal resistance of the gallium nitride device 30 while ensuring the normal electrical working condition of the gallium nitride device 30. It can effectively improve the working current of the gallium nitride device 30 with a withstand voltage level of 900V or above, and also improve the heat dissipation capacity of the gallium nitride device 30, thereby reducing the area of ​​the gallium nitride device 30 to improve the manufacturing yield of the gallium nitride device 30.

[0048] It should be noted that the main difference between the structure of the common source and common gate cascade type high-voltage and high-current gallium nitride power device and the traditional sapphire-based GaN HEMT structure is that after the thinning process of the gallium nitride device, the substrate is punched with through holes and the through holes are filled with high thermal conductivity metal, so that the heat inside the gallium nitride device is directly discharged through the through holes, effectively reducing the overall thermal resistance of the gallium nitride device, and effectively reducing the area of ​​the gallium nitride device, thereby improving the manufacturing yield of the common source and common gate cascade type high-voltage and high-current gallium nitride power device.

[0049] The present application provides a common source and common gate cascade type high voltage and high current gallium nitride power device, comprising a heat conductive substrate, a silicon-based switch tube and a gallium nitride device arranged on the heat conductive substrate; the gallium nitride device is connected to the silicon-based switch tube, a through hole is etched on the back of the structure of the gallium nitride device, the through hole is connected to the drain on the front of the structure of the gallium nitride device, and the through hole is filled with a high thermal conductivity metal for reducing the thermal resistance of the gallium nitride device to increase the working current of the gallium nitride device. The common source and common gate cascade type high voltage and high current gallium nitride power device effectively reduces the thermal resistance of the gallium nitride device while ensuring the normal electrical working conditions of the gallium nitride device, can effectively increase the working current of the gallium nitride device with a withstand voltage level of 900V and above, and also improves the heat dissipation capacity of the gallium nitride device, thereby reducing the area of ​​the gallium nitride device to improve the manufacturing yield of the gallium nitride device; and solves the technical problem that the structure of the existing GaN HEMT power device cannot be applied to high voltage and high current scenarios.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the gallium nitride device 30 includes a substrate 32, an adhesive layer 33, a device active area 34 and a perforated area.

The first drain 37 serves as the drain of the common-source and common-gate cascade type high-voltage and high-current gallium nitride power device, the first source 35 is connected to the second drain 24, the first gate 36 is connected to the second source 22, and the second gate 23 serves as the gate and drain of the common-source and common-gate cascade type high-voltage and high-current gallium nitride power device.
