[0045] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0047] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" other elements or layers, it may be directly on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to other elements or layers, or there may be intervening elements or layers. Conversely, when an element is referred to as "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" other elements or layers, there are no intervening elements or layers. It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various layers and electrodes, these layers and electrodes should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one layer or electrode from another. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of this invention, the first layer or electrode discussed below may be referred to as the second layer or electrode; for example, the first electrode may be called the second electrode, and similarly, the second electrode may be called the first electrode; the first electrode and the second electrode are different electrodes, for example, the first electrode may be the source and the second electrode may be the drain, or the first electrode may be the drain and the second electrode may be the source.

[0048] Spatial relation terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “under,” “above,” “above,” etc., are used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, the element or feature described as “below,” “under,” or “below” will be oriented “above” the other element or feature. Therefore, the exemplary terms “below” and “under” can include both above and below orientations. Furthermore, the device may also include other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0049] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising / including” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Meanwhile, in this specification, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, this application provides an anti-interference semiconductor structure, including a first electrode 100, a second electrode 200, and an electrode field plate structure 300 extending along a first direction. Along a second direction, the electrode field plate structure 300 is located between the first electrode 100 and the second electrode 200. The first direction intersects the second direction. Exemplarily, the first direction can be... Figure 1 The vertical direction in the middle, the second direction can be Figure 1 In the horizontal direction, the first electrode 100 can be either the source or the drain, and the second electrode 200 can be either the source or the drain. The electrode field plate structure 300 can be either a source field plate or a drain field plate.

[0051] The electrode field plate structure 300 includes a first field plate structure 310 and a second field plate structure 320 that are interconnected. The first field plate structure 310 and the second field plate structure 320 can be directly connected or indirectly connected through other structures. The first field plate structure 310 extends along a third direction, and the second field plate structure 320 extends along a fourth direction. The third and fourth directions intersect at least with the first direction; that is, the third direction is parallel to or intersects with the fourth direction.

[0052] The first field plate structure 310 and the second field plate structure 320 work together to suppress the induced current generated in the anti-interference semiconductor structure under high-power microwave radiation. Under high-power microwave conditions, the induced current generated on the first field plate structure 310 flows from the first electrode 100 to the second electrode 200, or vice versa. Similarly, the induced current generated on the second field plate structure 320 flows from the first electrode 100 to the second electrode 200, or vice versa. Figure 1 As shown, the arrows indicate the direction of the induced current. The induced currents on the first field plate structure 310 and the second field plate structure 320 are out of phase and cancel each other out at the connection between the first field plate structure 310 and the second field plate structure 320.

[0053] In this embodiment, the anti-interference semiconductor structure includes a first electrode 100, a second electrode 200, and an electrode field plate structure 300 extending along a first direction. The electrode field plate structure 300 can improve the electric field distribution on the device surface and increase the device breakdown voltage. The electrode field plate structure 300 includes a first field plate structure 310 and a second field plate structure 320 connected to each other. The first field plate structure 310 extends along a third direction, and the second field plate structure 320 extends along a fourth direction. The first target electrode includes either the first electrode 100 or the second electrode 200. The third and fourth directions intersect at least with the first direction, that is, the third direction is parallel to or intersects with the fourth direction. Thus, under high-power microwave radiation, the induced currents generated on the first field plate structure 310 and the second field plate structure 320 are in opposite directions and can cancel each other out, effectively suppressing the interference of HPM radiation on the device and improving the reliability of the semiconductor structure. In addition, compared with a rectangular field plate structure covering the entire gate and source / drain surface, the field plate structure of this application has a smaller area, which can reduce the parasitic capacitance generated by introducing the field plate structure.

[0054] In one embodiment, the third direction and the fourth direction are different, and both the third direction and the fourth direction intersect with the second direction. The end of the first field plate structure 310 near the first target electrode is connected to the end of the second field plate structure 320 near the first target electrode. The first target electrode includes either a first electrode 100 or a second electrode 200.

[0055] Taking the first target electrode as the first electrode 100 as an example, such as Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, the first field plate structure 310 and the second field plate structure 320 are connected to each other at the ends near the first electrode 100. The electrode field plate structure formed by the first field plate structure 310 and the second field plate structure 320 can be triangular arc-shaped, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it can also be a triangle, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, the electrode field plate structure 300 includes a plurality of first field plate units arranged along a first direction. Figure 3 neutralization Figure 4 The area highlighted by the dashed line represents a first field plate unit. Multiple first field plate units each include a first field plate structure 310 and a second field plate structure 320. In any two adjacent first field plate units, the end of the second field plate structure 320 of one first field plate unit near the second target electrode is connected to the end of the first field plate structure 310 of the other first field plate unit near the second target electrode. The first target electrode and the second target electrode are, respectively, a first electrode 100 and a second electrode 200.

[0057] In one embodiment, the third direction and the fourth direction are the same as or intersect with the second direction, respectively; wherein, the electrode field plate structure 300 further includes a first connection structure 330, and the end of the first field plate structure 310 near the first target electrode is connected to the end of the second field plate structure 320 near the first target electrode through the first connection structure 330.

[0058] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the third and fourth directions are the same as the second direction. The first connection structure 330 can be... Figure 5 The straight line structure shown can also be Figure 6 The triangular structure shown. The end of the first field plate structure 310 near the first target electrode is connected to the end of the second field plate structure 320 near the first target electrode via the first connection structure 330.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the third and fourth directions intersect with the second direction respectively, and the end of the first field plate structure 310 near the first target electrode is connected to the end of the second field plate structure 320 near the first target electrode through the first connection structure 330.

[0060] In one embodiment, such as Figures 8-10 As shown, the electrode field plate structure 300 includes a second connection structure 340 and a plurality of second field plate units arranged along a first direction. The plurality of second field plate units include a first field plate structure 310 and a second field plate structure 320. Figures 8-10 In the diagram, the rectangular area represents a second field plate element, and the circular area represents a second connection structure 340. The shape of the second connection structure 340 can be linear or triangular.

[0061] Any two adjacent second field plate units are connected by a second connection structure 340. In one second field plate unit, the end of the second field plate structure 320 near the second target electrode is connected to one end of the second connection structure 340. In the other second field plate unit, the end of the first field plate structure 310 near the second target electrode is connected to the other end of the second connection structure. One of the first target electrode and the second target electrode is the first electrode 100, and the other is the second electrode 200.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figures 11-15As shown, the electrode field plate structure 300 also includes a third field plate structure 350 and a fourth field plate structure 360. Both the third and fourth field plate structures extend along a second direction. The end of the third field plate structure 350 near the second electrode 200 is connected to the end of a first field plate structure 310 near the second electrode 200, and the end of the fourth field plate structure 360 ​​near the second electrode 200 is connected to the end of a second field plate structure 320 near the second electrode 200. In this embodiment, under HPM irradiation, the induced currents generated on the third field plate structure 350 and the connected first field plate structure 310 are in opposite directions and can cancel each other out at the connection point; similarly, the induced currents generated on the fourth field plate structure 360 ​​and the connected second field plate structure 320 are in opposite directions and can also cancel each other out at the connection point. Furthermore, the third field plate structure 350 and the fourth field plate structure 360 ​​can be connected to the first target electrode or can be suspended in mid-air.

[0063] In one embodiment, the shape of the first field plate structure 310 is either a straight line or a curve, and the shape of the second field plate structure 320 is either a straight line or a curve.

[0064] In one embodiment, the semiconductor structure further includes an anti-interference third electrode. In a second direction, the third electrode is located between the first electrode 100 and either the first field plate structure 310 or the second field plate structure 320. The third electrode is a gate electrode.

[0065] In one embodiment, this application also provides a method for fabricating a semiconductor structure, such as... Figure 16 As shown, it includes steps S1602-S1604.

[0066] S1602 provides a substrate.

[0067] S1604, a first electrode, a second electrode, and an electrode field plate structure extending along a first direction are formed on the substrate.

[0068] Along the second direction, the electrode field plate structure is located between the first electrode and the second electrode; the first direction intersects the second direction. The electrode field plate structure includes a first field plate structure and a second field plate structure that are interconnected. The first field plate structure extends along a third direction, and the second field plate structure extends along a fourth direction. The third and fourth directions intersect at least the first direction. The first and second field plate structures work together to suppress the induced current generated by the semiconductor structure under high-power microwave radiation. A detailed description of this semiconductor structure can be found in the above embodiments regarding the limitations of the anti-interference semiconductor structure, and will not be repeated here.

[0069] The anti-interference semiconductor structure provided in this application can cover wide-bandgap semiconductor power devices such as gallium nitride and silicon carbide, as well as silicon-based power devices. For example, taking gallium nitride power devices as an example, such as... Figure 17As shown, the gallium nitride power device includes a substrate 400, a channel layer 500, a barrier layer 600, a first electrode 100, a second electrode 200, a third electrode 1000, a first passivation layer 700, a second passivation layer 800, a third passivation layer 900, and an electrode field plate structure 300. The first electrode 100 is the source electrode, the second electrode 200 is the drain electrode, and the third electrode 1000 is the gate electrode. The third electrode 1000 includes a P-GaN layer 1010 and a gate metal layer 1020. The electrode field plate structure 300 is the source field plate. In this configuration, a channel layer 500 is located between the substrate 400 and the barrier layer 600. A P-GaN layer 1010 is located on the side of the barrier layer 600 away from the channel layer 500. A gate metal layer 1020 is located on the side of the P-GaN layer 1010 away from the barrier layer 600. A first passivation layer 700 is located on the side of the barrier layer 600 away from the channel layer 500 and on the sidewall of the gate. The source and drain are located on the side of the first passivation layer 700 away from the barrier layer 600, respectively, and penetrate the first passivation layer 700, contacting the barrier layer 600. In the second direction, the gate is disposed between the source and the drain. A second passivation layer 800 is located on the side of the source, drain, and gate away from the first passivation layer 700, and on the exposed surface of the first passivation layer 700. A source field plate is located on the side of the second passivation layer 800 away from the first passivation layer 700, and one end of the source field plate is connected to the source. The third passivation layer is located on the side of the source electrode plate away from the second passivation layer.

[0070] The substrate material can be any suitable substrate material known in the art, such as silicon or silicon carbide. The channel layer is made of GaN, and the barrier layer is made of AlGaN. The channel layer and the barrier layer can form a heterojunction. The structure of the source field plate on the side of the second passivation layer 800 away from the first passivation layer 700 can be referred to the definition of the electrode field plate structure 300 in the above embodiments.

[0071] Since the induced currents generated by adjacent first field plate structures 310 and second field plate structures 320 in the source field plate are in opposite directions under HPM irradiation, they can cancel each other out, thereby improving the survivability and reliability of gallium nitride power devices in strong electromagnetic environments. Furthermore, the source field plate extends from near the drain terminal to the gate terminal and forms a spaced, non-closed structure near the drain terminal, which effectively modulates the electric field while further reducing parasitic capacitance, thereby effectively improving the device's breakdown voltage and fast turn-off speed, and enhancing the efficiency of the power electronic system.

[0072] Furthermore, the fabrication method of this gallium nitride power device may include the following steps:

[0073] S1 provides a substrate.

[0074] S2, a channel layer is grown on the substrate. The channel layer can be made of GaN.

[0075] S3, a barrier layer is grown on the side of the channel layer away from the substrate. The material of the barrier layer can be AlGaN.
