Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular relates to a p-BN-based gallium nitride-based complementary logic device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional silicon-based semiconductors, gallium nitride shows significant advantages in the high-temperature field. GaN has higher breakdown field strength, higher electron mobility and greater electron density, which enables it to work stably in extremely harsh environments. Under high temperature conditions, GaN shows excellent stability and can withstand higher junction temperatures while maintaining excellent switching efficiency and low power consumption. In high-temperature applications, GaN materials have strong thermal stability and low intrinsic carrier concentration due to their wide bandgap characteristics (3.42eV), which can significantly reduce the concentration of leakage current at high temperatures, thereby improving the heat resistance and reliability of the device.

[0003] Compared with traditional silicon devices, GaN devices have less performance degradation in high temperature environments and can achieve high-frequency switching operations with higher efficiency and lower energy loss. This high-temperature advantage makes the application of GaN in aerospace, electric vehicle power electronics and other harsh environments particularly important. However, the current development of GaN-based complementary logic devices is slow and the device performance is poor. The main reason is that the hole mobility of p-type materials is much lower than the electron mobility in n-type materials. The electron mobility in the common AlGaN / GaN heterojunction can easily reach 2000cm 2 / V·s, while the hole mobility of most p-type devices is only 10cm 2 / V·s. The current of GaN-based p-type devices is much smaller than that of n-type GaN devices. They cannot match with n-type devices in complementary logic integrated circuits. They have weak driving capabilities and poor switching characteristics, which severely limits the efficiency and performance of the overall complementary logic circuit.

[0004] Conventional complementary logic devices using GaN / AlGaN / GaN heterojunctions have very low hole mobility and surface density levels. The hole mobility of the best device in the world can only reach 30cm 2 / V·s, and the device has poor ohmic contact characteristics and poor switching characteristics. The main reason is that p-GaN material is used as the p-type layer and conductive channel, the hole mobility is extremely low, and the device is difficult to make ohmic contact, which makes the device have poor switching characteristics and power characteristics when working. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a gallium nitride-based complementary logic device to improve the defects in the prior art. Summary of the invention
