[0002] GaN HEMTs (GaN high electron mobility transistors) are generally used in high-frequency switching applications. Switching losses and dynamic on-resistance losses are the main heat sources of the device. Because the conductive channel between the gate and drain in the structure simultaneously bears the high voltage and high current overlap during the switching process, the power density is the highest. At the same time, the traps between the gate and drain also trap electrons, leading to increased resistance and heat. Therefore, this structure is the core of the heat generation of the entire device, and how to improve heat dissipation is a challenge currently facing GaN HEMTs. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please refer to Figure 4 and combined Figure 5 This embodiment provides a GaN HEMT device, including:

[0039] Semiconductor body 10;

[0040] The device functional structure is formed on the semiconductor body 10. The device functional structure includes a source 21, a gate 22 and a drain 23 arranged in sequence, and an interlayer dielectric layer 40 covering the source 21, the gate 22 and the drain 23.

[0041] The field plate 30 is formed within the interlayer dielectric layer 30 and is located above the region between the gate 22 and the drain 23;

[0042] A surface passivation layer 50 is formed above the interlayer dielectric layer 40; and,

[0043] A thermally conductive structure is provided, comprising a thermally conductive hole 80 and a thermally conductive material 90 formed within the thermally conductive hole 80. The thermally conductive hole 80 extends upward from the bottom of the semiconductor body 10 and terminates at the lower surface of the surface passivation layer 50. The thermally conductive hole 80 is located within the orthogonal projection area of ​​the field plate 30 on the semiconductor body 10.

[0044] In this embodiment, the thermally conductive material 90 is specifically a metallic material, and optionally, the metallic material includes one or more of silver, copper, gold, or aluminum.

[0045] For GaN HEMT devices, the semiconductor body 10 includes a substrate and an epitaxial structure formed on the substrate. The substrate includes a front side and a back side, and the epitaxial structure is formed on the front side of the substrate. The epitaxial structure generally includes a nucleation layer, a buffer layer, a channel layer, a barrier layer, etc., and the nucleation layer, buffer layer, channel layer, and barrier layer are stacked sequentially on the substrate.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the gate 22 is formed on the barrier layer 11, and the source 21 and the drain 23 are formed on the channel layers on both sides of the barrier layer 11. Figure 4 The barrier layer 11 of the semiconductor body 10 is shown separately, without distinguishing the substrate and the rest of the epitaxial structure. However, it should be understood that the film layer located below the barrier layer 11 is the substrate and other epitaxial structures located on the substrate.

[0047] The substrate material can be silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), sapphire (Al2O3), etc., or the substrate can be a GaN self-supporting substrate. The barrier layer 11 can specifically be an aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) barrier layer or an aluminum nitride (AlN) barrier layer. The barrier layer 11 and the underlying GaN channel layer form a heterojunction to generate a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG).

[0048] The device functional structure may further include a metal interconnect structure, which includes a first metal layer 61 and a second metal layer 62. The first metal layer 61 is formed within the interlayer dielectric layer 40, and the second metal layer 62 is formed on the interlayer dielectric layer 40. The surface passivation layer 50 covers the second metal layer 62 and the exposed surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 40.

[0049] When arranging the first metal layer 61 and the second metal layer 62, the arrangement areas of the first metal layer 61 and the second metal layer 62 can avoid the formation location of the heat conduction hole 80, thereby avoiding the formation of the heat conduction hole 80 from affecting the performance of the first metal layer 61 and the second metal layer 62.

[0050] Furthermore, preferably, the field plate 30 has through holes corresponding to the heat-conducting holes 80. The area of ​​the through holes is slightly larger than or equal to the area of ​​the heat-conducting holes 80. The through holes facilitate the etching process when etching the interlayer dielectric layer 40 to form the heat-conducting holes 80. Here, "the through holes of the field plate 30 corresponding to the heat-conducting holes 30" means that the projection of the heat-conducting holes 30 onto the field plate 30 falls within the position range of the through holes provided on the field plate 30.

[0051] As a preferred option, such as Figure 5 As shown, the heat-conducting structure includes a plurality of heat-conducting holes 80, which are arranged sequentially in a direction parallel to the length of the field plate 30. The distance between the projection of each heat-conducting hole 80 onto the field plate 30 and the near-drain edge of the field plate 30 is greater than or equal to the distance between the projection and the near-gate edge of the field plate 30. That is, from a top view, the heat-conducting holes 80 are distributed along the centerline of the field plate 30 along its length or located on the side of the centerline closer to the gate 22. Figure 5 The illustration shows an example where the heat-conducting holes 80 are distributed along the centerline of the field plate 30 along its length. The number and position of the through holes in the field plate 30 correspond to the number and position of the heat-conducting holes 80.

[0052] It is understood that the width direction of the field plate 30 is the direction in which the source 21, the gate 22 and the drain 23 are arranged in sequence, while the length direction of the field plate 30 is the direction perpendicular to its width direction.

[0053] The electric field strength is highest near the drain edge of the field plate 30 (the edge closest to the drain electrode 23). Since the core function of the field plate 30 is to disperse and reduce the electric field in this area, placing a heat-conducting hole 80 in this region would weaken the electric field modulation capability of the field plate 30. The central region of the field plate 30 is the core heat-generating region. Opening a hole in the central region has the least impact on the electric field distribution but achieves the highest heat dissipation efficiency. The electric field strength and heat source intensity near the gate edge of the field plate 30 (the edge closest to the gate electrode 22) are both lower than those in the central region and near the drain edge. Although opening a hole in the central region also has a smaller impact on the electric field distribution, the heat dissipation efficiency is not as good as opening a hole in the central region. Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting the heat-conducting hole 80 to be located on the centerline of the field plate 30 along its length and / or on the side of the centerline close to the gate electrode 22, better heat dissipation performance is achieved without affecting the electric field modulation capability of the field plate 30 due to opening a hole in the field plate 30.

[0054] The heat-conducting structure may include multiple sets of heat-conducting holes 80 arranged sequentially along the length of the field plate 30. For example, it may include two sets of heat-conducting holes 80 arranged sequentially along the length of the field plate 30, wherein one set of heat-conducting holes 80 is located on the center line of the field plate 30, and the other set of heat-conducting holes 80 may be located on the side of the center line of the field plate 30 near the gate 22.

[0055] When the number of heat-conducting holes 80 arranged along the width direction of the field plate 30 exceeds one, if the width of the field plate 30 is W, the diameter of a single heat-conducting hole 80 is D, and the center-to-center distance between any two adjacent heat-conducting holes 80 in the width direction of the field plate 30 is P, then preferably, P ≥ 2D and (n × D) ≤ 0.5 × W, where n is the number of heat-conducting holes 80 arranged in the width direction of the field plate 30. In this way, when multiple openings are provided along the field plate 30, the influence of the arrangement of multiple openings on the electric field modulation capability of the field plate 30 can be controlled to a greater extent.

[0056] Therefore, the GaN HEMT device manufactured using the manufacturing method provided in this embodiment conducts heat from the heat-generating core of the device to the outside, maximizing heat dissipation performance while avoiding the impact of openings on the electric field modulation capability of the field plate 30.

[0057] Correspondingly, such as Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a GaN HEMT device, including the following steps:

[0058] S1, after completing the process of the surface passivation layer 50, photolithography is performed on the back side of the semiconductor body 10 to form a heat-conducting hole pattern corresponding to the position area of ​​the field plate 80;

[0059] S2, the heat-conducting hole 80 is formed by etching process, and the etching stops at the lower surface of the surface passivation layer 50;

[0060] S3, the thermally conductive material 90 is formed in the thermally conductive hole 80.

[0061] The following combination Figures 1-3 The manufacturing process of the GaN HEMT device provided in this embodiment is further described.

[0062] Reference Figure 1In step S11, the surface passivation layer 50 is fabricated after the functional structure of the GaN HEMT device is completed. This process includes: forming a source 21 and a drain 23 on the channel layers on both sides of the barrier layer 11; forming a gate 22 on the barrier layer 11 between the source 21 and the drain 23; forming an interlayer dielectric layer 40; forming a field plate 30 above the interlayer dielectric layer 40 located in the region between the gate 22 and the drain 23; thickening the interlayer dielectric layer 40; forming a first metal layer 61 on the interlayer dielectric layer 40; and further thickening the interlayer dielectric layer 40 to form a second metal layer 62. The surface passivation layer 50 covers the area of ​​the interlayer dielectric layer 40 exposed by the second metal layer 62 while simultaneously covering the second metal layer 62.

[0063] In step S11, "forming a heat-conducting hole pattern corresponding to the position area of ​​the field plate 80" means that the projection of the formed heat-conducting hole pattern on the semiconductor body 10 falls within the projection range of the field plate 30 on the semiconductor body 10. The step of forming the heat-conducting hole pattern may include: forming a photoresist layer 70 on the back side of the semiconductor body 10, and exposing and developing the photoresist layer 70 to form the heat-conducting hole pattern.

[0064] In step S12, refer to Figure 2 The thermally conductive hole 80 is formed by an etching process. The thermally conductive hole 80 extends upward from the back side of the semiconductor body 10 and ends at the lower surface of the surface passivation layer 50. That is, the thermally conductive hole 80 penetrates the part of the device except for the surface passivation layer 50 in a vertical direction.

[0065] In step S13, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The formation of the thermally conductive material 90 in the thermally conductive hole 80 specifically includes: depositing a seed layer metal 91 on the sidewall and bottom of the thermally conductive hole 80 using a physical vapor deposition method, and depositing a thermally conductive metal 92 on the seed layer by an electroplating method.

[0066] The seed layer metal 91 can employ a multilayer metal composite structure, for example, comprising a sequentially deposited adhesion layer and a diffusion barrier layer. The adhesion layer can be made of titanium or chromium, and the diffusion barrier layer can be made of platinum or nickel. The adhesion layer provides adhesion to prevent the thermally conductive metal 92 layer from detaching, and the diffusion barrier layer prevents the thermally conductive metal 92 layer from diffusing into the semiconductor material during subsequent processes or device operation. The thermally conductive metal 92 provides a low-resistance thermal conduction path and can include one or more of silver, copper, gold, or aluminum.

[0067]

Example 2

[0068] Please refer to Figure 8 and combined Figure 9 This embodiment provides a GaN HEMT device. Unlike the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the thermally conductive material 90 formed in the thermally conductive hole 80 is a non-conductive thermally conductive composite material, and the thermally conductive composite material fills the thermally conductive hole 80.

[0069] Optionally, the thermally conductive composite material includes a resin mixed with aluminum nitride particles, an alumina hybrid silicone grease, an aluminum nitride hybrid silicone grease, or an organic composite material containing metal particles.

[0070] Accordingly, please combine Figure 7 Unlike the manufacturing method provided in this embodiment, step S3 in this embodiment, the step of forming the thermally conductive material 90 in the thermally conductive hole 80, includes:

[0071] The thermally conductive composite material is filled into the thermally conductive holes 80 by spin coating.

[0072] The excess thermally conductive composite material on the back side of the semiconductor body 10 is removed using an organic solvent.

[0073] Similarly, thermally conductive material 90 is formed within the thermally conductive hole 80. Compared to the solution of metal material deposition in Example 1, this embodiment uses a solution of spin-coating non-conductive thermally conductive material 90, which has advantages such as good electrical isolation, simple process, low cost, and low stress.

[0074] Specifically, the electroplated metal material extends from the back of the device all the way to the passivation layer on the surface. If the process deviates slightly, such as over-plating or uneven metal layer, it may cause a short circuit between the metal and the surface interconnects such as the field plate 30, gate 22, or source 21, resulting in direct device failure. The non-conductive material fundamentally eliminates the risk of vertical short circuits through the heat-conducting hole 80, greatly improving the process tolerance and device yield. Example 1 uses a metal deposition scheme, requiring two core steps: depositing a seed layer metal and electroplating. This involves expensive equipment and complex process control (such as electroplating solution composition and current density uniformity). Example 2... The solution typically only requires spin coating and curing steps. Spin coating equipment is far less expensive than deposition and electroplating equipment, and the process is simpler and easier to integrate into existing production lines. There is a significant difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between metals (such as copper) and semiconductor materials. Under the temperature cycling during device operation, the repeated expansion and contraction of the metal pillar will generate mechanical stress on the surrounding brittle semiconductor materials. In the long run, this may lead to lattice defects or even cracks, affecting reliability. However, many organic thermally conductive composite materials have a certain degree of flexibility, and their coefficient of thermal expansion can be adjusted by filling particles, thereby better matching with semiconductor materials. The resulting thermomechanical stress is smaller, which helps to improve the long-term service life and reliability of the device.

[0075] In summary, the GaN HEMT device and its manufacturing method provided by the embodiments of the present invention include: providing at least one thermally conductive hole corresponding to the field plate region of the GaNHEMT device, the thermally conductive hole extending from the back side of the semiconductor body 10 to the lower surface of the surface passivation layer, and a thermally conductive material being formed therein, thereby conducting heat from the heat-generating core of the device to the outside. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0076] (1) Improve the heat dissipation capacity of the device, reduce the effect of self-heating on carrier mobility, and avoid the decrease of saturation leakage current and transconductance;

[0077] (2) Improve the increase in gate leakage current caused by temperature rise;

[0078] (3) High-energy hot electrons will be generated in the gate-drain channel at high temperature, which will bombard the gate dielectric interface and cause irreversible damage. Increasing the heat dissipation capacity of the device can avoid this phenomenon to a certain extent.

[0079] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to mutually. In addition, the different parts between embodiments can also be combined with each other, and this invention does not limit this.
