[0034] Example 1
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This invention provides an AlGaN / In material with high thermal conductivity. x Al 1-x A schematic diagram of the structure of an Sb high electron mobility transistor.
[0036] This embodiment provides an AlGaN / In with high thermal conductivity. x Al 1-x Sb high electron mobility transistor, comprising: high thermal conductivity substrate layer 1, buffer layer 2, In x Al 1-x Sb channel layer 3, AlGaN barrier layer 4, cap layer 5, source 6, drain 7, passivation layer 8, and gate 9.

Here, x represents In... x Al 1-x The In content of Sb, x ranges from 0.8 to 1. x Al 1-x Sb channel layer 3 and AlGaN barrier layer 4 form AlGaN / In x Al 1-x An Sb heterojunction is formed.

Gate 9 is disposed between source 6 and drain 7, extending from the upper surface of passivation layer 8 to the upper surface of cap layer 5.
[0037] Specifically, in x Al 1-xAs a third-generation semiconductor material, Sb possesses high electron mobility and electron saturation drift velocity, allowing it to form diverse quantum well band structures with the wide-bandgap material AlGaN. These quantum well structures offer strong confinement capabilities for charge carriers. This embodiment utilizes In... x Al 1-x Sb channel layer 3 and AlGaN barrier layer 4 form AlGaN / In x Al 1-x Sb heterojunction to replace the traditional AlGaN / GaN heterojunction, AlGaN / In x Al 1-x The Sb heterojunction has a larger bandgap difference, enabling the generation of a higher concentration of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the channel. Furthermore, the high thermal conductivity substrate layer 1 enhances the device's heat dissipation performance, effectively mitigating self-heating effects under high bias voltage operation. This, in turn, improves the device's switching characteristics and performance and stability in high-temperature, high-power applications. Moreover, by adjusting In... x Al 1-x The ratio of Al to In components in the Sb channel layer 3 can achieve different device performance requirements.
[0038] In this embodiment, there are two sources 6 and two gates 9. The drain 7 is disposed between the two sources 6 and is spaced apart from both sources 6. The two gates 9 are disposed between the drain 7 and the two sources 6, and are spaced apart from both the gates 9 and the sources 6 and the drain 7.
[0039] In one feasible manner, this embodiment provides AlGaN / In with high thermal conductivity. x Al 1-x The Sb high electron mobility transistor also includes interconnect metal 10. Interconnect metal 10 is disposed on the upper surfaces of the source 6 and drain 7, penetrating the passivation layer 8.

The passivation layer 8 is made of SiN. The gate 9 is a T-type gate.
[0041] Specifically, InSb material has a small work function, and using InSb as the cap layer 5 makes it easier for the source 6 and drain 7 to form ohmic contacts.
[0042] In one feasible way, x = 0.8, In x Al 1-x The material of Sb channel layer 3 is In 0.8 Al 0.2 Sb.
[0043] In another feasible way, x = 0.9, In x Al 1-x The material of Sb channel layer 3 is In 0.9 Al 0.1 Sb.
[0044] In yet another feasible way, x = 1, In x Al 1-x The material of the Sb channel layer 3 is InSb. InSb has the highest electron mobility and electron saturation drift velocity. The AlGaN / InSb heterojunction can further increase the 2DEG concentration of the device, thereby further improving the switching characteristics and performance of the device in high-power applications.
[0045] The second aspect of this embodiment provides an AlGaN / In with high thermal conductivity. x Al 1-x A method for fabricating an Sb high electron mobility transistor, used to fabricate the transistor provided in the first aspect of this embodiment, includes the following steps:
[0046] S1: Buffer layer 2 and In are grown sequentially from bottom to top on the surface of high thermal conductivity substrate 1. x Al 1-x Sb channel layer 3, AlGaN barrier layer 4, and cap layer 5.
[0047] Specifically, step S1 includes:
[0048] S101: As Figure 2a As shown, diamond or SiC material is used as a high thermal conductivity substrate 1, and the high thermal conductivity substrate 1 is cleaned to remove organic and inorganic residues on the surface.
[0049] In one feasible approach, a diamond material is obtained as a high thermal conductivity substrate 1. The high thermal conductivity substrate 1 is ultrasonically cleaned with acetone, then washed with anhydrous ethanol to remove the acetone and dried to remove organic and inorganic residues from the surface of the high thermal conductivity substrate 1.
[0050] S102: As Figure 2b As shown, a 0.5–5 μm GaN layer is grown on the upper surface of a high thermal conductivity substrate 1 using a novel vapor phase epitaxial growth technique (MOCVD) as a buffer layer 2.
[0051] In one feasible approach, a high thermal conductivity substrate 1 is placed within the MOCVD reaction chamber, and the reaction chamber is evacuated to a vacuum level of 3 × 10⁻⁶. -2 Torr, the temperature in the reaction chamber is maintained at 950℃. Under the condition of maintaining a pressure of 20 Torr, Ga(CH3)3 at a flow rate of 25 sccm is introduced, and then the temperature is raised to 1000℃ and NH3 at a flow rate of 1500 sccm is introduced to grow a GaN layer with a thickness of 2 μm on the upper surface of the high thermal conductivity substrate 1, thus obtaining the buffer layer 2.
[0052] S103: As Figure 2c As shown, unintentionally doped In of 1–5 nm is grown on the upper surface of buffer layer 2 using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). x Al 1-x Sb, as In x Al 1-x Sb channel layer 3. Where x represents In x Al 1-x The molar content of In in Sb, x ranges from 0.8 to 1.
[0053] In one feasible approach, the wafer obtained in step S102 is moved from the MOCVD chamber to the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) chamber, maintaining an Sb / In beam current ratio of 3, and the temperatures of the indium beam source and the antimony pyrolysis beam source are increased separately until the equivalent pressure of the indium beam reaches 5 × 10⁻⁶. -8 mbar, the equivalent pressure of the antimony pyrolysis beam reaches 15 × 10 mbar. -8 After mbar, the baffles of both the indium and antimony beam sources were simultaneously turned on to begin InSb nucleation layer growth. Once the nucleation layer growth was complete, the In and Sb beam currents were kept constant, and the growth temperature was increased to 250℃ to begin InSb channel layer growth. After InSb grew to 5 nm, heating was stopped, and the layer was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. x Al 1-x When the value of x in Sb channel layer 3 is 1, it is an InSb channel layer. It should be understood that the InSb nucleation layer acts as a buffer layer 2 and In... x Al 1-x The transition between Sb channel layers 3 is to improve In x Al 1-x Material quality of Sb channel layer 3.
[0054] S104: As Figure 2d As shown, in In x Al 1-x On the upper surface of the Sb channel layer 3, AlGaN of 10–30 nm is grown using a novel vapor phase epitaxy (MOCVD) technique, serving as the AlGaN barrier layer 4. x Al 1-xSb channel layer 3 and AlGaN barrier layer 4 form AlGaN / In x Al 1-x Sb heterojunction.
[0055] In one feasible manner, the wafer obtained in step S103 is transferred from the MBE chamber to the MOCVD chamber, the temperature of the reaction chamber is raised to 1000°C, and a nitrogen source with a flow rate of 2000 sccm, a gallium source with a flow rate of 50 sccm, and an aluminum source with a flow rate of 20 sccm are introduced. An AlGaN barrier layer 4 with an Al composition of 30% and a thickness of 20 nm is grown using the MOCVD growth process.
[0056] S105: As Figure 2e As shown, 2-3 nm InSb is grown on the upper surface of AlGaN barrier layer 4 using MBE as cap layer 5.
[0057] In one feasible approach, the wafer obtained in step S103 is moved from the MOCVD chamber to the MBE chamber. While maintaining the Sb / In beam current ratio at 3, the temperatures of the indium beam source and the antimony pyrolysis beam source are increased separately until the equivalent pressure of the indium beam reaches 5 × 10⁻⁶. -8 mbar, the equivalent pressure of the antimony pyrolysis beam reaches 15 × 10 mbar. -8 After mbar, the baffles of both the indium and antimony beam sources are simultaneously turned on to begin the growth of the InSb nucleation layer. Once the nucleation layer has grown to a certain thickness, the In and Sb beam currents are kept constant, and the growth temperature is increased to 250°C to begin the growth of the InSb cap layer. After the InSb has grown to 2.5 nm, heating is stopped, and the layer is allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. It should be understood that the InSb nucleation layer serves as a transition between the AlGaN barrier layer 4 and the cap layer 5 to improve the material quality of the cap layer 5.
[0058] The grown wafer was transferred to the MBE chamber, maintaining an Sb / In beam current ratio of 3, and the temperatures of the indium beam source and the antimony pyrolysis beam source were increased separately until the indium beam equivalent pressure reached 5 × 10⁻⁶. -8 mbar, the equivalent pressure of the antimony pyrolysis beam reaches 15 × 10 mbar. -8 After mbar, the baffles of the indium and antimony beam sources are simultaneously turned on to begin the growth of the InSb nucleation layer. After the nucleation layer growth is complete, the In and Sb beam currents are kept constant, and the growth temperature is increased to 250℃ to begin the growth of the InSb cap layer 5. After the InSb has grown to 2.5 nm, the heating is stopped, and the material is allowed to cool naturally to room temperature.
[0059] S2: Source electrode 6 and drain electrode 7 are prepared at intervals on the surface of cap layer 5.
[0060] like Figure 2fAs shown, the epitaxial wafer obtained in step S1 is cleaned, and then photolithographic alignment marks are made at both ends of the upper surface of the cap layer 5 to facilitate subsequent overlay processes. Next, a Ti / Al / Ni / Au multilayer metal (20nm / 160nm / 55nm / 45nm) is deposited on the upper surface of the cap layer 5 using electron beam evaporation. Then, rapid thermal annealing at 850–900℃ in an N2 environment forms ohmic contacts, resulting in spaced source electrodes 6 and drain electrodes 7. Furthermore, there are two source electrodes 6, and the drain electrode 7 is positioned between the two source electrodes 6, with a gap between it and both source electrodes 6. After the source electrodes 6 and drain electrodes 7 are fabricated, ion implantation is performed at both ends of the epitaxial wafer to create device isolation regions, achieving isolation of the active regions and preventing mutual interference between devices.
[0061] In one feasible approach, the epitaxial wafer obtained in step S1 is ultrasonically cleaned with acetone, then washed with anhydrous ethanol to remove the acetone and dried to remove grease and oxides from the sample surface. Subsequently, photolithographic alignment marks are fabricated at both ends of the upper surface of the cap layer 5. The annealing temperature is 850℃ for 50 seconds.
[0062] S3: A passivation layer 8 is prepared on the surface of the cap layer 5, the source electrode 6, and the drain electrode 7.
[0063] like Figure 2g As shown, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was used to passivate the surface of the cap layer 5, source 6, and drain 7 with Si3N4. After passivation, an ellipsometry was used to monitor the thickness and refractive index of Si3N4 to ensure that they were within the set range. The leakage current of Si3N4 was also monitored to ensure that it met the device requirements.
[0064] In one feasible approach, prior to preparing the passivation layer 8, the sample undergoes a pre-passivation surface treatment. First, it is sequentially cleaned with an organic solution of acetone and isopropanol. Then, the sample is immersed in an ammonia solution (28% ammonia:H2O = 1:6) at 55°C for 5 minutes, followed by rinsing with deionized water and drying with N2. Subsequently, the device is passivated using a PECVD device with a Si3N4 surface thickness of 20 nm. The deposition conditions are: temperature 250°C, pressure 600 mTorr, and RF power 22 W.
[0065] S4: Etch passivation layer 8 to form a gate trench located between source 6 and drain 7, extending from the upper surface of passivation layer 8 to the upper surface of cap layer 5, and fabricate gate 9 in the gate trench.
[0066] like Figure 2hAs shown, a gate trench is formed between the source 6 and the drain 7 using photolithography. After the gate trench photolithography is completed, a hard film is formed on a hot plate. The passivation layer 8 in the gate trench region is removed using inductively coupled plasma etching (ICP), and then gate metal is deposited. The gate metal should be neat and free of adhesion to obtain the gate 9. In this embodiment, there are two gate trench photolithography regions, which are located at the interval between the drain 7 and the two sources 6, and there are gaps between the gate trench photolithography regions and both the source 6 and the drain 7. Figure 2i As shown, after the gate 9 is fabricated, the passivation layer 8 on the upper surface of the source 6 and drain 7 is etched through openings to expose the source 6 and drain 7. Interconnect metal 10 is deposited or electroplated in the etched area to complete the fabrication of the device.
[0067] In one feasible approach, the ICP process conditions are: upper electrode power 80W, lower electrode power 10W, CF4 flow rate 25sccm, O2 flow rate 5sccm, and etching rate 0.67nm / s.
[0068] This embodiment provides AlGaN / In with high thermal conductivity. x Al 1-x Sb high electron mobility transistor, through In x Al 1- x Sb channel layer 3 and AlGaN barrier layer 4 form AlGaN / In x Al 1-x Sb heterojunction to replace the traditional AlGaN / GaN heterojunction, AlGaN / In x Al 1-x The Sb heterojunction has a larger bandgap difference, enabling the generation of higher concentration 2DEG in the channel. The high thermal conductivity substrate layer 1 enhances the device's heat dissipation performance, effectively mitigating self-heating under high bias voltage operation. This, in turn, improves the device's switching characteristics and performance and stability in high-temperature, high-power applications. Furthermore, the InSb cap layer 5, with its low work function, facilitates the formation of ohmic contacts between the source 6 and drain 7.
[0069] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
