Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with application date of September 24, 2024, application number 202411328309.3, and invention name “A GaN chip and its preparation method, HEMT cascade device and its packaging method”. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular relates to a HEMT cascade device. Background Art
[0003] There are two main types of AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices: cascade type and enhancement type. Among them, enhancement type devices mainly use P-GaN, which has many problems such as weak gate, high resistivity, reliability risks, and high dynamic resistance. The cascade type device uses a depletion-type GaN device and a low-voltage MOS for cascading. At this time, the drive is completely determined by the low-voltage MOS, which has high reliability. At the same time, the resistivity of GaN can be controlled at the optimal level, and the parasitic parameters introduced by the low-voltage MOS are very small, making the overall device show high performance. At present, cascaded GaN power devices have been widely used in various types of switching power supplies, especially in industrial and automotive categories, and have certain advantages.
[0004] However, the C gd The capacitance is mainly composed of the depletion mode GaN C ds And low voltage MOS C gd Series formation, since the depletion-type GaN is a planar structure, its C ds Often much smaller than the C of low voltage MOS gd , so the C of the cascade device gd Mainly composed of GaN C ds Since the C of the cascaded device gd The width of the Miller platform is the main factor affecting the switching speed (tr, tf). The above situation will cause the switching speed of the cascade device to be too fast, which may cause vibration in practical applications, reduce efficiency, increase electromagnetic radiation, and even cause machine crashes. Therefore, how to effectively optimize the C of the cascade device is a key issue. gd , which is an urgent problem to be solved in the current promotion of cascade devices.
[0005] The main solutions currently available for the above problems are as follows:
[0006] (1) Increasing the C of depletion-mode GaN ds :But this solution will bring significant hidden dangers, namely, leading to C ds _GaN / (C ds _MOS+C gdThe increase of this ratio will lead to abnormal shutdown transient waveform, mainly because the low-voltage MOS distribution voltage increases and reaches avalanche, thus causing reliability risks for the entire cascade device.
[0007] (2) Increase the C of low voltage MOS gd :However, due to the C gd It is the C of low voltage MOS gd With GaN C ds In series, usually the C gd Much larger than GaN’s C ds , further increase the C of the low voltage MOS gd The effect on the series capacitance is very small, that is, the improvement effect is not obvious.
[0008] (3) Increase the driving resistance (main method): reduce the charging and discharging speed of the capacitor by limiting the current through resistance, but this will increase the driving loss and reduce the efficiency of the whole machine.
[0009] (4) External C gd Capacitor: This solution has a long external loop and is prone to oscillation.
