[0066] An embodiment of the present invention provides a power device, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a power device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 The power device comprises: a substrate 10, a channel layer 20, a barrier layer 30 and a doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 which are stacked in sequence; the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 covers a portion of the barrier layer 30;

[0067] A first strained layer 51, the first strained layer 51 is located at a side of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 away from the substrate 10, and the first strained layer 51 covers a surface of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 away from the substrate 10;

[0069] A second strained layer 52, the second strained layer 52 is located on a side of the spacer layer 60 away from the substrate 10, and the second strained layer 52 covers a surface of the spacer layer 60 away from the substrate 10, a sidewall of the spacer layer 60, a sidewall of the first strained layer 51, a sidewall of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 and a portion of the barrier layer 30;

[0070] A passivation structure 70 , where the passivation structure 70 is located on a side of the second strained layer 52 away from the substrate 10 ;

[0071] A first through hole A1 and a gate metal 80, wherein the first through hole A1 is located on a surface of the passivation structure 70 away from the substrate 10, and a vertical projection of the first through hole A1 on the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 is located within the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40; the first through hole A1 extends from the passivation structure 70 to the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40; the gate metal 80 is at least located within the first through hole A1 and in contact with the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40.

[0072] The substrate 10 may be a silicon substrate or a silicon carbide substrate; the material of the channel layer 20 may be a gallium nitride material; the material of the barrier layer 30 may be AlGaN. The doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 may be a P-type gallium nitride layer. The material of the first strained layer 51 and the second strained layer 52 can be aluminum nitride; the first strained layer 51 and the second strained layer 52 can be used to increase the stress of the device and improve the concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas. The first strained layer 51 can protect the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 from the surface of the substrate, and the second strained layer 52 can protect the side wall of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40; the spacer layer 60 can avoid damaging the side wall of the first through hole A1 when forming the first through hole A1, so that the side wall of the first through hole A1 is smooth, and avoids the rough profile of the gate metal 80 when the gate metal 80 is subsequently formed in the first through hole A1, causing the gate metal 80 to leak; the spacer layer 60 can make the side wall of the first through hole A1 smoother, so that the side wall of the gate metal 80 is not damaged, and the gate metal 80 can be prevented from leaking, thereby improving the device performance and reliability.

[0073] In the process of forming the gate metal 80, it is necessary to first form a first through hole A1, and the first through hole A1 extends from the passivation structure 70 to the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40; in the process of forming the device, the through hole can be firstly dry-etched to form a first sub-hole, and a third strained layer can be set as an etching stop layer for etching the bottom of the first sub-hole by a dry etching process, and an etching stop layer is set on the side wall of the first sub-hole, and the etching stop layer of the side wall of the first sub-hole can be formed at the same time as the first strained layer, and the etching stop layer of the side wall is located between the first sub-hole and the spacer layer 60; the vertical projection of the third strained layer on the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 is the same as the vertical projection of the first sub-hole on the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40. The vertical projections of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 overlap, which can avoid dry etching to damage the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40; then the third strained layer and the etching stop layer of the side wall are removed by wet etching to form the first through hole A1. The wet etching will not affect the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 and the spacer layer 60. The spacer layer 60 can avoid damaging the side wall of the first through hole A1 during wet etching, so that when the first through hole A1 is formed, the surface of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 and the spacer layer 60 is smooth, and the rough profile of the subsequent gate metal 80 can be avoided to cause the gate metal 80 to leak, thereby improving the device performance and reliability.

[0074] In the power device provided by the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the first strained layer 51 is located on the side of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 away from the substrate 10, and the first strained layer 51 covers the surface of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 away from the substrate 10; the spacer layer 60 is located on the side of the first strained layer 51 away from the substrate 10; the spacer layer 60 covers the first strained layer 51; the second strained layer 52 is located on the side of the spacer layer 60 away from the substrate 10, and the second strained layer 52 covers the surface of the spacer layer 60 away from the substrate 10, the sidewall of the spacer layer 60, and the first strained layer The first strained layer 51 and the second strained layer 52 are provided on the sidewall of the second strained layer 52 away from the substrate 10; the passivation structure 70 is located on the side of the second strained layer 52 away from the substrate 10; the first through hole A1 is located on the surface of the passivation structure 70 away from the substrate 10, and the vertical projection of the first through hole A1 on the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 is located in the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40; the first through hole A1 extends from the passivation structure 70 to the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40; the gate metal 80 is at least located in the first through hole A1 and in contact with the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40. The first strained layer 51 and the second strained layer 52 can increase the stress of the device, increase the concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas, and protect the surface and sidewall of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 away from the substrate; the sidewall of the first through hole A1 can be made smoother, so that the sidewall of the gate metal 80 is not damaged, and the gate metal 80 can be prevented from leaking electricity, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the device.

[0075] Optional, reference Figure 1The passivation structure 70 includes a first passivation layer 71, a second passivation layer 72 and a third passivation layer 73; the second passivation layer 72 is located between the first passivation layer 71 and the third passivation layer 73, and the third passivation layer 73 is located on a side of the first passivation layer 71 away from the substrate 10; the first passivation layer 71 covers the second strained layer 52.

[0076] The material of the first passivation layer 71 and the second passivation layer 72 may be silicon oxide; the first passivation layer 71 and the second passivation layer 72 are formed respectively mainly for the subsequent preparation of the first field plate, and the first passivation layer 71 and the second passivation layer 72 play the role of insulation isolation; the material of the third passivation layer 73 may be silicon nitride, and the third passivation layer 73 may be used as an etching stop layer. When wet etching is performed in the subsequent formation of the first through hole A1, the hydrofluoric acid (HF) used in the wet etching will not affect the third passivation layer 73, and the height of the third passivation layer 73 can be effectively avoided from being affected. The height of the third passivation layer 73 corresponds to the height of the subsequent second field plate. If the height of the third passivation layer 73 is affected, it will affect the electric field regulation. Therefore, the third passivation layer 73 can be set to effectively block the influence of the subsequent wet etching process on the height of the second field plate, thereby improving the device performance and reliability. The gate metal 80 fills the first through hole A1 and extends from the first through hole A1 to the surface of the third passivation layer 73 away from the substrate 10, thereby increasing the conductivity of the device.

[0077] Optional, reference Figure 1 , a first field plate 91, the first field plate 91 is located between the first passivation layer 71 and the second passivation layer 72, the vertical projection of the first field plate 91 on the substrate 10 does not overlap with the vertical projection of the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 on the substrate; the second passivation layer 72 covers the first field plate 91 and a portion of the first passivation layer 71;

[0078] The second field plate 92 is located on the side of the third passivation layer 73 away from the substrate 10 ; the vertical projection of the second field plate 92 on the first field plate 91 covers part of the first field plate 91 , and the second field plate 92 extends in the direction away from the doped nitride semiconductor layer 40 from the first field plate 91 .

[0079] Among them, the first field plate 91 can adjust the electric field on one side of the gate metal 80 to prevent the device from being broken down due to excessive electric field. The material of the first field plate 91 can be titanium nitride. The second field plate 92 can further adjust the electric field to prevent the device from being broken down due to excessive electric field. The second field plate 92 is formed at the same time as the gate metal 80, and both are made of the same material, and the preparation process is simple.

[0080] Optional, reference Figure 1The power device further includes: a second through hole A2 and a third through hole A3, wherein the third through hole A3 is located on a side of the first through hole A1 away from the second through hole A2; the second through hole A2 penetrates the second strained layer 52, the first passivation layer 71 and the second passivation layer 72 to the barrier layer 30; the third through hole A3 penetrates the second strained layer 52, the first passivation layer 71 and the second passivation layer 72 to the barrier layer 30;

[0081] The source metal 101 and the drain metal 102 , the source metal 101 is at least located in the second through hole A2 and in contact with the barrier layer 30 ; the drain metal 102 is at least located in the third through hole A3 and in contact with the barrier layer 30 .

[0082] Among them, the second through hole A2 and the third through hole A3 can be formed simultaneously by the same process, which can reduce the process cost and improve the process preparation efficiency. Before forming the source metal 101 and the drain metal 102, a conductive layer 103 can be formed first. The conductive layer 103 is located on the surface of the second passivation layer 72 away from the substrate 10, and is at least located between the source metal 101 and the drain metal 102 and the second passivation layer 72. The conductive layer 103 can also extend from the side walls of the second through hole A2 and the third through hole A3 to the surface of part of the second passivation layer 72 away from the substrate 10, which can only prevent the metal ions of the source metal 101 and the drain metal 102 from diffusing on the side walls, causing the device to short-circuit, and improve the reliability of the device; the material of the conductive layer 103 includes titanium nitride; the source metal 101 and the drain metal 102 can be formed by the same material, and the process is simple.

[0083] Optional, reference Figure 1 The source metal 101 and the drain metal 102 are made of the same material; the spacer layer 60 is made of silicon nitride or silicon nitride oxide.

[0084] Among them, the source metal 101 and the drain metal 102 are made of the same material, the preparation process is simple, and it can further reduce the control of thin film deposition materials and reduce costs. The material of the spacer layer 60 includes silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride, which can avoid damaging the side wall of the first through hole A1 when a wet etching process is used when forming the first through hole A1, and avoid the rough outline of the gate metal 80 when the gate metal 80 is subsequently formed in the first through hole A1, causing the gate metal 80 to leak. The spacer layer 60 can make the side wall of the first through hole A1 smoother, so that the side wall of the gate metal 80 is not damaged, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the device. In the future, the gate metal, source metal and drain metal can be connected by metal wiring, and the gate metal, source metal and drain metal can be controlled by metal wiring to realize the metal interconnection between the device and the outside.

[0085] In the prior art, the gate opening process is a huge challenge to the existing preparation methods of power devices. Under-etching will cause the gate metal to be unable to contact the doped nitride semiconductor layer; over-etching will cause gate damage. The defects between the gate metal and the doped nitride semiconductor layer are mainly concentrated on the contact surface and the corner position, affecting the performance and reliability of the device; therefore, usually dry etching is used to etch to the interface above the doped nitride semiconductor layer close to the doped nitride semiconductor layer, and then the remaining structure is removed by wet etching; since the structure above the doped nitride semiconductor layer has uneven thickness due to process errors, and the etching speed of dry etching is uneven, the thickness of the residual structure above the doped nitride semiconductor layer will be different. At this time, an excessive amount of wet etching solution is needed to promote each other, but the uniformity of wet etching is not good, resulting in poor profile roughness, affecting device performance and reliability.

[0086] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing a power device based on the above embodiments, which is used to prepare the power device described in any embodiment of the present invention and improve the performance and reliability of the power device.
