[0054] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0055] The HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor) is a kind of heterojunction field effect transistor, which is widely used in aerospace, communication technology, automobile electronics and switching power supply fields, and is especially widely concerned in high-power and high-frequency application fields. The HEMT chip is an important component of the HEMT.

[0056] In the related art, the HEMT chip mainly includes a substrate, a semiconductor layer grown on the substrate, and a metal layer deposited on the semiconductor layer.

[0057] However, since the semiconductor layer is composed of multiple thin film layers, the layer-by-layer stacking of the thin film layers and the metal layer will cause height differences at different positions, resulting in low metal filling coverage and voids.

[0058] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a semiconductor chip, Figure 1 The structure of the semiconductor chip is shown in the figure, and the structure of the semiconductor chip is described in detail as follows. Figure 1 In the present embodiment, the semiconductor chip includes a substrate 10 and a semiconductor layer 20.

[0059] The semiconductor layer 20 is located on one side of the substrate 10, and the side of the semiconductor layer 20 away from the substrate 10 has a hole slot 30, the hole slot 30 includes a slot body part 310 and a slot opening part 320, the included angle a between the inner side wall of the slot body part 310 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 85°-90°, the slot opening part 320 is located at one end of the slot body part 310 away from the substrate 10, and the included angle b between the inner side wall of the slot opening part 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 50°-70°.

[0060] The semiconductor chip provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure has a substrate 10 and a semiconductor layer 20, and one side of the semiconductor layer 20 has a hole groove 30, which is composed of a groove body part 310 and a groove opening part 320. The groove opening part 320 is located at the end of the groove body part 310 away from the substrate 10. Since the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove body part 310 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 85°-90°, and the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove opening part 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 50°-70°, the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove body part 310 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is greater than the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove opening part 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located, so that the groove opening part 320 is outwardly tilted relative to the groove body part 310. In this way, the opening area of the groove opening part 320 is increased, thereby allowing more metal atoms to be deposited into the hole groove 30, that is, facilitating the deposition of metal in the hole groove 30, and effectively improving the metal filling coverage, thereby avoiding the occurrence of voids.

[0061] That is, the semiconductor chip provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure has the hole groove 30 on one side of the semiconductor layer 20, and the groove opening part 320 of the hole groove 30 is outwardly tilted relative to the groove body part 310, thereby facilitating the deposition of metal in the hole groove 30, and effectively improving the metal filling coverage, thereby avoiding the occurrence of voids.

[0062] In the embodiment, the semiconductor chip can be a normally-off GaN HEMT chip or a normally-on GaN HEMT chip, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0063] Figure 2 The semiconductor layer 20 is a structural schematic diagram, which is combined with Figure 2 In the embodiment, the semiconductor layer 20 includes a Ti layer 210, an AlSi layer 220, a TiN layer 230, and a dielectric layer 240.

[0064] The Ti layer 210, the AlSi layer 220, the TiN layer 230, and the dielectric layer 240 are sequentially stacked on one side of the substrate 10. The groove body part 310 penetrates the dielectric layer 240, and the end of the groove body part 310 close to the substrate 10 is located in the TiN layer 230. The groove opening part 320 is located in the dielectric layer 240.

[0065] In the above implementation manner, the top of the groove body part 310 is located in the dielectric layer 240, the bottom of the groove body part 310 penetrates the dielectric layer 240 and is located in the TiN layer 230, and the groove opening part 320 is located in the dielectric layer 240 together with the top of the groove body part 310.

[0066] The combination of the Ti layer 210, the AlSi layer 220, and the TiN layer 230 belongs to a metal layer and is mainly used for conducting electricity. The Ti layer 210 plays a role of adhesion and can be well adhered to a substrate or a medium layer in a previous process. The TiN layer 230 plays a role of adhesion and passivation, preventing the AlSi layer 220 from being oxidized. The AlSi layer 220 mainly plays a role of conducting electronic charges.

[0067] Exemplarily, the specification parameters are as follows: the thickness of the Ti layer 210 is about 80-120 nm; the thickness of the AlSi layer 220 is about 2-4 um; and the thickness of the TiN layer 230 is about 80-120 nm.

[0068] In this embodiment, the thickness of the Ti layer 210 is 100 nm; the thickness of the AlSi layer 220 is 3 um; and the thickness of the TiN layer 230 is 100 nm.

[0069] Exemplarily, the medium layer 240 is a SiN layer, a SiO layer, or a composite medium layer 240, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0070] In this embodiment, the medium layer 240 is a SiO layer.

[0071] Since the opening area of the notch part 320 is increased, more metal atoms are allowed to be deposited into the hole groove 30, the medium layer 240 and the metal layer in the hole groove 30 are more easily attached, thereby facilitating the deposition of metal in the hole groove 30 and effectively improving the metal filling coverage.

[0072] In this embodiment, the included angle a between the inner side wall of the groove body part 310 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 90°. The included angle b between the inner side wall of the notch part 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 60°.

[0073] In the above implementation manner, the extension direction of the groove body part 310 is perpendicular to the substrate 10, that is, the groove body part 310 is vertically etched downward until the TiN layer 230. Such a design is conducive to accommodating the deposition of metal. The notch part 320 is designed to have the above angles, which can be conducive to the deposition of metal in the groove body part 310, improve the metal filling coverage, and effectively reduce the generation of voids.

[0074] Of course, in other embodiments, the values of the included angle a and the included angle b can also be adjusted within the above angle range according to actual needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0075] Figure 3 A flowchart of a preparation method of a semiconductor chip provided by the present disclosure is provided. The preparation method is used for preparing a semiconductor chip as shown in Figure 1 , and in combination with Figure 3 , the preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0076] Step 301: providing a substrate 10.

[0077] Step 302: preparing a semiconductor layer 20 on one side of the substrate 10.

[0078] Step 303: preparing a photoresist layer 40 on the side of the semiconductor layer 20 away from the substrate 10.

[0079] Step 304: performing a first etching based on the photoresist layer 40 to obtain an intermediate groove 50 on the semiconductor layer 20.

[0080] Step 305: performing a second etching based on the photoresist layer 40 to obtain a hole groove 30 on the basis of the intermediate groove 50.

[0081] In a cross section along the epitaxial growth direction, the hole groove 30 comprises a groove body part 310 and a groove opening part 320, an included angle between an inner side wall of the groove body part 310 and a plane where the substrate 10 is located is 85°-90°, and the groove opening part 320 is located at an end of the groove body part 310 away from the substrate 10, and an included angle between an inner side wall of the groove opening part 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 50°-70°.

[0082] The preparation method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure forms the hole groove 30 on the semiconductor layer 20 through the first etching and the second etching, and the hole groove 30 is composed of the groove body part 310 and the groove opening part 320. The groove opening part 320 is located at an end of the groove body part 310 away from the substrate 10. Since the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove body part 310 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 85°-90°, and the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove opening part 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 50°-70°, the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove body part 310 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is greater than the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove opening part 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located, so that the groove opening part 320 is inclined outward relative to the groove body part 310. Such a design is conducive to depositing metal in the hole groove 30 and effectively improves the metal filling coverage, thereby avoiding the occurrence of voids.

[0083] That is, the semiconductor chip prepared by the preparation method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with the hole groove 30 on one side of the semiconductor layer 20, and the groove opening part 320 of the hole groove 30 is inclined outward relative to the groove body part 310, thereby being conducive to depositing metal in the hole groove 30 and effectively improving the metal filling coverage, thereby avoiding the occurrence of voids.

[0084] Figure 4 Another flowchart of a preparation method of a semiconductor chip provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided in combination with Figure 4 In the embodiment, the preparation method comprises:

[0085] Step 401: providing a substrate 10.

[0086] Exemplarily, the substrate 10 is one of a sapphire substrate 10, a SiC substrate 10, a Si substrate 10, and a GaN substrate 10.

[0087] In this embodiment, the substrate 10 is a Si substrate 10.

[0088] Step 402: preparing a semiconductor layer 20 on one side of the substrate 10.

[0089] In this embodiment, step 402 includes the following steps.

[0090] Step 4021: sequentially preparing a Ti layer 210, an AlSi layer 220, and a TiN layer 230 on one side of the substrate 10 by physical vapor deposition (PVD), so that the Ti layer 210, the AlSi layer 220, and the TiN layer 230 are sequentially stacked.

[0091] Step 4022: preparing a dielectric layer 240 on the side of the TiN layer 230 away from the substrate 10 by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).

[0092] Exemplarily, the dielectric layer 240 is a SiN layer, a SiO layer, or a composite dielectric layer 240, and the present disclosure does not limit the dielectric layer 240.

[0093] In this embodiment, the dielectric layer 240 is a SiO layer.

[0094] Step 403: preparing a photoresist layer 40 on the side of the semiconductor layer 20 away from the substrate 10 (see FIG. 1). Figure 5 ).

[0095] In this embodiment, step 403 includes the following steps.

[0096] Step 4031: coating the photoresist on the side of the semiconductor layer 20 away from the substrate 10.

[0097] Exemplarily, the thickness of the photoresist is 3 μm.

[0098] In the above implementation, the thickness of the photoresist is set to the above value, which can ensure the functionality of the photoresist and the coating efficiency.

[0099] Step 4032: patterning the photoresist to obtain the photoresist layer 40.

[0100] Exemplarily, the photoresist is patterned, i.e., the photoresist is converted into a photoresist layer 40 with patterns by solidification, exposure, development and the like, to prepare for subsequent etching.

[0101] In this embodiment, the photoresist layer 40 has etching holes 410, and the included angle c between the inner side wall of the etching holes 410 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 70°-75°.

[0102] In the above implementation, since the inner side wall of the etching holes 410 has a certain angle, in the subsequent etching step, a groove with a certain angle can be etched.

[0103] Step 404: First etching based on the photoresist layer 40 to obtain an intermediate groove 50 on the semiconductor layer 20 (see Figure 6 ).

[0104] Exemplarily, in step 404, the etching parameters of the first etching are designed as follows:

[0105] The etching pressure is set to 200-300 mTorr, the etching power is set to 500-700 W, the etching time is set to 70-90 s, and the etching gas is set to CHF3, AR and CF4.

[0106] Exemplarily, the flow rate of CHF3 is set to 40-60 sccm, the flow rate of AR is set to 130-170 sccm, and the flow rate of CF4 is set to 50-70 sccm.

[0107] In this embodiment, the etching pressure is set to 250 mTorr, the etching power is set to 600 W, the etching time is set to 79 s, the flow rate of CHF3 is set to 50 sccm, the flow rate of AR is set to 150 sccm, and the flow rate of CF4 is set to 60 sccm.

[0108] Through the above etching parameters, the intermediate groove 50 with a depth of 500 nm can be etched on the dielectric layer 240.

[0109] It is worth noting that the included angle d between the inner wall of the intermediate groove 50 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is consistent with the included angle c between the inner side wall of the etching holes 410 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located, which is 70°-75°.

[0110] Step 405: Second etching based on the photoresist layer 40 to obtain a hole groove 30 on the basis of the intermediate groove 50 (see Figure 7 ).

[0111] Exemplarily, in step 405, the etching parameters of the second etching are designed as follows:

[0112] The etching pressure is set to 200-300 mTorr, the etching power is set to 400-600 W, the etching time is set to 220-250 s, and the etching gas is set to CF4 and O2.

[0113] For example, the flow rate of CF4 is set to 90-110 sccm, and the flow rate of O2 is set to 15-25 sccm.

[0114] In this embodiment, the etching pressure is set to 250 mTorr, the etching power is set to 500 W, the etching time is set to 235 s, the flow rate of CF4 is set to 100 sccm, and the flow rate of O2 is set to 20 sccm.

[0115] In the second etching process, since the etching gas is switched from CHF3, AR and CF4 to CF4 and O2, the content of O2 is increased, so that the included angle c between the inner sidewall of the etching hole 410 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is continuously reduced (from 70°-75° to 60°), that is, the inclination angle of the etching hole 410 gradually becomes gentle. At the same time, the change in the inclination angle of the etching hole 410 will also transmit the change in its morphology to the dielectric layer 240, so that the inclination angle of the dielectric layer 240 is also reduced (from 70°-75° to 60°), that is, it gradually becomes gentle, thereby forming the notch portion 320. At the same time, since O2 can remove the by-products, the combination of CF4 and O2 causes the chemical etching to be relatively strong, so that the etching forms a groove that extends vertically, thereby forming the groove body portion 310.

[0116] It is worth noting that the time of the second etching is obtained by dividing the thickness of the remaining photoresist layer 40 after the first etching by the stripping rate. The etching time needs to be long enough to ensure that the included angle c can extend to the dielectric layer 240.

[0117] In this embodiment, in the cross section along the epitaxial growth direction, the hole groove 30 includes the groove body portion 310 and the notch portion 320, the included angle between the inner sidewall of the groove body portion 310 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 85°-90°, and the notch portion 320 is located at the end of the groove body portion 310 away from the substrate 10, and the included angle between the inner sidewall of the notch portion 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 50°-70°.

[0118] In this embodiment, in the first etching process based on the photoresist layer 40, the selectivity ratio of the dielectric layer 240 to the photoresist layer 40 is greater than 2. In the second etching process based on the photoresist layer 40, the selectivity ratio of the dielectric layer 240 to the photoresist layer 40 is less than 1.

[0119] That is, in the process of the first etching based on the photoresist layer 40, the selectivity ratio of the dielectric layer 240 and the photoresist layer 40 is greater than the selectivity ratio of the dielectric layer 240 and the photoresist layer 40 in the process of the second etching based on the photoresist layer 40.

[0120] In this way, the photoresist layer 40 can be prevented from being consumed too quickly in the process of the second etching, thereby avoiding insufficient etching depth.

[0121] The preparation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied not only to dry etching of shallow holes (aspect ratio not greater than 5), but also to dry etching of deep holes (aspect ratio greater than 5).

[0122] Step 406: removing the excess photoresist layer 40 (see Figure 8 ).

[0123] The preparation method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure forms the hole groove 30 on the semiconductor layer 20 through the first etching and the second etching, and the hole groove 30 is composed of the groove body part 310 and the groove opening part 320. The groove opening part 320 is located at one end of the groove body part 310 away from the substrate 10. Since the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove body part 310 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 85°-90°, and the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove opening part 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is 50°-70°, the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove body part 310 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located is greater than the included angle between the inner side wall of the groove opening part 320 and the plane where the substrate 10 is located, so that the groove opening part 320 is outwardly tilted relative to the groove body part 310. Such a design is conducive to depositing metal in the hole groove 30 and effectively improves the metal filling coverage, thereby avoiding the occurrence of voids.
