Obviously, the embodiments described are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0063] The preparation method of the integrated GaN CMOS and micro LED single chip in the preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 See also Figure 2-Figure 14 , including the following steps:
[0064] S01: Covering the surface of the p-GaN gate HEMT substrate with a deposition growth mask;
[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown;
[0066] The epitaxial structure of the p-GaN gate HEMT substrate (from bottom to top) includes: substrate 100, unintentionally doped buffer layer 101, GaN channel layer 102, AlGaN barrier layer 103, and p-type doped GaN layer 104.
[0067] After the p-GaN gate HEMT substrate sample is initially cleaned, silicon dioxide (SiO2) is evaporated by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to a thickness of approximately 500 nanometers, covering the entire sample surface to form a growth mask 105;
[0068] It should be noted that the selective epitaxial growth mask can be SiO2, Si3N4 deposited by PECVD, or metal titanium (Ti) or tungsten (W) formed by sputtering;
[0069] S02: Patterning the growth mask and p-GaN gate HEMT substrate to expose the area where micro-LED selective epitaxy is required;
[0070] This step refers to Figure 4 Specifically, the process can be implemented by spin-coating photoresist, performing masked UV exposure lithography, developing and removing the photoresist in the exposed areas, and performing dry etching using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) to a depth of approximately 800 nanometers (including the thickness of the SiO2 mask and the depth of the HEMT, with the mask thickness being no less than 500 nanometers and the etching depth of the HEMT substrate being between 200 nanometers and 300 nanometers). The etching stops on the unintentionally doped GaN buffer layer, exposing the area where selective epitaxy is required.
[0071] S03: Perform selective epitaxial growth of micro-LEDs;
[0072] This step refers to Figure 5 , the specific implementation can be:

The structure of the selective epitaxially grown LED, from bottom to top, primarily consists of an n-type doped GaN layer 200, an InGaN / GaN multi-quantum well layer 201, and a p-type GaN layer 202.
[0074] S04: removing the growth mask;
[0075] This step refers to Figure 6 , taking silicon dioxide growth mask as an example, the specific implementation can be:
[0076] By wet etching (the etching solution is BOE, buffer oxide etchant), the silicon dioxide growth mask in the exposed area is fully removed;
[0077] S05: Perform mesa etching on the HEMT device to achieve electrical isolation of the p-GaN gate enhancement mode HEMT, p-channel FET and micro-LED devices;
[0078] This step refers to Figure 7 , the specific implementation can be:
[0079] Spin-coat photoresist, develop and remove the photoresist in the exposed areas through masked UV exposure lithography, and etch using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) to a depth of approximately 380 nanometers, stopping at the unintentionally doped gallium nitride buffer layer to electrically isolate the p-GaN gate enhancement mode HEMT, p-channel FET, and micro-LED devices;
[0080] Mesa etching can also be done by fluoride ions (F - ) injection method for electrical insulation of the device;
[0081] S06: performing a mesa etching process on the micro-LED device to form a mesa of the micro-LED device;
[0082] This step refers to Figure 8 , the specific implementation can be:
[0083] Spin-coat the photoresist, perform UV exposure with a mask, develop and remove the photoresist in the exposed area, and etch using inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The etching depth depends on the thickness of the p-type GaN and multi-quantum wells in the micro-LED epitaxy. The etching needs to stop on the n-type GaN to form the mesa of the micro-LED device.
[0084] S07: Patterning the gate p-GaN of the N-channel HEMT, retaining the p-GaN at the gate position of the enhancement-mode HEMT, etching away the p-GaN in other areas of the HEMT, and forming a p-GaN epitaxial layer under the gate of the enhancement-mode n-channel HEMT;
[0085] This step refers to Figure 9 , the specific implementation can be:
[0086] Spin-coating photoresist, performing UV exposure lithography with a mask, developing and removing the photoresist in the exposed areas, and etching using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) to retain only the p-GaN at the gate location of the enhancement-mode HEMT and to etch away the p-GaN in other areas of the HEMT to a depth determined by the thickness of the p-type gallium nitride in the HEMT epitaxial layer (approximately 70 nanometers), thereby forming a p-GaN epitaxial layer below the gate of the enhancement-mode n-channel HEMT.
[0087] S08: Etching the p-GaN at the gate position of the p-FET to a thickness of 5-10 nanometers, and directly forming an enhancement mode p-channel field effect transistor using the p-GaN epitaxial layer;
[0088] This step refers to Figure 10 , the specific implementation can be:
[0089] Spin-coat the photoresist, perform UV exposure lithography with a mask, develop and remove the photoresist in the exposed area, and perform etching using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) to retain only a portion (5-10nm thick) of the p-GaN at the gate position of the p-FET, thereby directly forming an enhancement mode p-channel field effect transistor using the p-GaN epitaxial layer;
[0090] S09: forming ohmic contacts between the source and drain of the n-channel HEMT;
[0091] This step refers to Figure 11 , the specific implementation can be:
[0092] Spin-coat photoresist, develop and remove the exposed areas using masked UV lithography, deposit Ti / Al / Ti / Au (20 / 100 / 40 / 60 nm thickness) using electron beam evaporation or thermal evaporation, remove the photoresist and metal from the unexposed areas using metal lift-off in acetone, and perform rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 850°C for 30 seconds in a nitrogen atmosphere to form drain and source contacts for the enhancement-mode n-channel HEMT.
[0093] S10: depositing a dielectric layer and performing patterning to form a gate dielectric of the p-FET, a sidewall passivation layer of the micro-LED, and a surface passivation layer of the n-channel HEMT;
[0094] This step refers to Figure 12 , the specific implementation can be:
[0095] Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) to a thickness of approximately 20 nanometers, covering the entire sample surface. A photoresist is then spin-coated, and the exposed areas are developed and removed using masked UV lithography. Etching is then performed using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) to form the gate dielectric 300 of the p-FET, the sidewall passivation layer 301 of the micro-LED, and the surface passivation layer 302 of the n-channel HEMT.
[0096] The ALD oxide deposition serves as both the gate dielectric layer for p-type FETs and the sidewall passivation layer for micro-LEDs and n-channel enhancement-mode HEMTs. It eliminates non-radiative recombination centers on the sidewalls created by etching the micro-LED mesa in step 6, ensuring the micro-LED's luminous efficiency; forms the gate dielectric layer for p-type FETs; and passivates the surface of discrete devices in preparation for depositing interconnect metals.
[0097] ALD oxide can be Al2O3 or other oxides such as HfO2;
[0098] S11: forming source and drain contacts of the p-channel field effect transistor and ohmic contacts of the micro-LED p-GaN;
[0099] This step refers to Figure 13 , the specific implementation can be:
[0100] Spin-coat photoresist, develop and remove the exposed areas using masked UV lithography, deposit Ni / Au (7 / 7nm thick) using electron beam evaporation or thermal evaporation, perform metal lift-off in acetone to remove the photoresist and metal in the unexposed areas, and perform rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in air at 550°C for 2 minutes to simultaneously form the source and drain contacts for the p-channel FET and the ohmic contacts for the p-GaN micro-LED.
[0101] The p-type transistor and micro-LED share the ohmic metal contact of Ni / Au, which simplifies the process steps and complexity and reduces costs;
[0102] S12: Deposit the gate of the p-channel transistor and the interconnect metal of the entire chip to complete the interconnection and integration of the p-GaN gate enhancement mode n-channel HEMT, enhancement mode p-channel FET and micro-LED;
[0103] This step refers to Figure 14 , the specific implementation can be:
[0104] Spin-coating photoresist is performed, and the exposed areas are developed and removed using masked UV lithography. Ti / Al / Ti / Au (thicknesses of 40 / 100 / 50 / 60 nm) are deposited using electron beam evaporation or thermal evaporation. Metal lift-off is performed in acetone to remove the photoresist and metal from the unexposed areas, thereby achieving interconnection and integration of the p-GaN gate enhancement mode n-channel HEMT 400, the p-channel FET 401, and the micro-LED 402.
[0105] The present invention discloses a method for fabricating a single-chip integrated GaN CMOS circuit and micro-LED. Micro-LED epitaxy is selectively grown on a commercially available p-type GaN gate high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) epitaxial layer. A GaN CMOS circuit for digital control is constructed by fabricating an enhancement-mode n-channel HEMT and a p-channel field-effect transistor (FET) on a p-type gate HEMT substrate. This circuit is then interconnected with the selectively grown micro-LED device to achieve digital control of the micro-LED on a fully GaN integrated chip, effectively improving the integration and reliability of the digital control circuit and micro-LED.
