Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of MOS semiconductor technology, and more particularly to an all-diamond heterogate Schottky MOSFET. Background Technology
[0002] Diamond, with its ultra-wide bandgap (approximately 5.5 eV), extremely high critical breakdown field strength (approximately 10 MV / cm), and the highest thermal conductivity found in nature (approximately 22 W / cm·K), is widely recognized as an ideal semiconductor material for next-generation high-frequency, high-power, and high-temperature electronic devices. However, the actual performance of diamond MOSFET devices has long been constrained by several bottlenecks: on the one hand, the poor interface quality between the metal oxide gate dielectric and the diamond semiconductor layer results in a high interface state density, leading to severe carrier scattering and low channel mobility; on the other hand, the two-dimensional hole gas present on the hydrogen-terminated diamond surface causes the device to intrinsically exhibit a depletion-type operating mode, and the threshold voltage instability caused by the interface states further threatens the reliable operation of the device.
[0003] Furthermore, the low barrier height of traditional Schottky gates often leads to large gate leakage currents and poor thermal stability. Although researchers have attempted to improve device performance through interface engineering, gate dielectric optimization, and surface termination modification, effectively reducing interface state density, improving gate control capability, and enhancing high-temperature reliability while fully leveraging the intrinsic advantages of diamond remains a challenging technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides an all-diamond heterogate Schottky MOSFET to solve existing technical problems, thereby addressing the issue of excessively high interface state density while improving the device's voltage withstand level and high-temperature stability.

[0006] A channel layer is formed inside the substrate layer and between the source P+ layer and the drain P+ layer by ion implantation. The two ends of the channel layer are in direct contact with the source P+ layer and the drain P+ layer, respectively. A composite structure layer is deposited above the channel layer, wherein the composite structure layer is in direct contact with the gate and the isolation layer. A passivation layer is deposited above the isolation layer and between the source and the drain.
[0007] Furthermore, the surface of the isolation layer is also covered with a transition layer, wherein the cross-sectional profile of the transition layer is in the shape of a "door".
[0008] Furthermore, the source electrode is a four-layer source electrode, and the drain electrode is a four-layer drain electrode.
[0009] Furthermore, the gate includes a composite gate, the composite structure layer includes a composite structure, the isolation layer includes an isolation layer, and the passivation layer includes a passivation layer.
[0010] Furthermore, the composite structure is composed of an intrinsic diamond layer, a silicon nitride layer, and an aluminum oxide layer, wherein the intrinsic diamond layer, silicon nitride layer, and aluminum oxide layer are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.
[0011] Furthermore, the gate includes a second composite gate, the composite structure layer includes a second composite structure, the isolation layer includes a second isolation layer, and the passivation layer includes a second passivation layer.
[0012] Furthermore, the second composite structure is composed of a hafnium oxide layer and an aluminum oxide layer, wherein the hafnium oxide layer and the aluminum oxide layer are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0014] Furthermore, the composite structure three consists of a modified silica layer and an intrinsic diamond layer two, wherein the modified silica layer and the intrinsic diamond layer two are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.
[0015] The all-diamond heterogate Schottky MOSFET provided by this invention has the following advantages compared to existing technologies:
[0016] 1. This invention constructs the core structure of a MOSFET using an all-diamond material system. The substrate, source / drain regions, and channel layer are all made of diamond, which fully leverages the intrinsic advantages of diamond, such as its ultra-wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity, and high breakdown field strength. Combined with the synergistic design of a heterogate and a multilayer composite insulation structure, this invention significantly reduces the interface state density while improving the device's withstand voltage rating and high-temperature stability, providing a new solution for the reliable operation of power semiconductor devices under extreme conditions.
[0017] 2. This invention forms a composite insulating layer that combines interface passivation, ion blocking, and electric field buffering functions by gradient matching of intrinsic diamond, silicon nitride, and alumina three-layer materials in terms of dielectric constant and band structure. Combined with the high work function and stable contact of the platinum composite gate, the device can maintain extremely low gate leakage current and excellent switching characteristics under high temperature and high pressure conditions, making it particularly suitable for high power density switching applications.

[0031] A channel layer 7 (formed by lightly doped boron diamond) is formed by ion implantation inside the substrate layer 1 and between the source region P+ layer 2 and the drain region P+ layer 3. The two ends of the channel layer 7 are in direct contact with the source region P+ layer 2 and the drain region P+ layer 3, respectively. A composite structure layer 8 is deposited above the channel layer 7, and the composite structure layer 8 is in direct contact with the gate 6 and the isolation layer 9. A passivation layer 10 is deposited above the isolation layer 9 and between the source 4 and the drain 5.
[0032] In this embodiment, the surface of the isolation layer 9 is further covered with a transition layer 11, wherein the cross-sectional profile of the transition layer 11 is in the shape of a "door". The transition layer 11 is made of aluminum oxide (chemical formula: The thickness of the transition layer 11 is 5nm to 10nm, and in this embodiment, 7nm is preferred to improve the interface adhesion.
[0033] In this embodiment, the source 4 includes a four-layer source 401, and the drain 5 includes a four-layer drain 501 (both the four-layer source 401 and the four-layer drain 501 are four-layer structures made of titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), and gold (Au) arranged from bottom to top, which results in lower contact resistance and stronger high-temperature stability). Gate 6 includes a composite gate 601 (composite gate 601 adopts a composite metal structure of platinum (Pt) and gold (Au); where platinum is in the lower layer with a thickness of 30nm; gold is in the upper layer with a thickness of 60nm; this design significantly improves high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, and the Schottky barrier height is about 0.88eV), composite structure layer 8 includes composite structure 801, isolation layer 9 includes isolation layer 901 (isolation layer 9 is made of aluminum nitride, chemical formula AlN.

In composite structure-801, the alumina layer-801c serves as the bottom interface layer, directly contacting the channel layer 7. The excellent interface passivation capability of alumina effectively suppresses dangling bonds and defect states at the channel / insulator interface. The middle silicon nitride layer-801b acts as a highly dense barrier layer, effectively blocking the diffusion and penetration of metal ions and water molecules. The top intrinsic diamond layer-801a, with its ultra-wide bandgap and ultra-high breakdown field strength, acts as the outermost electric field buffer and withstand voltage barrier. The three layers form a gradient match in dielectric constant, band structure, and coefficient of thermal expansion, significantly reducing the interface state density and resulting in a more uniform electric field distribution. Meanwhile, the composite gate 601 adopts a composite metal structure with a platinum lower layer and a gold upper layer. The high work function of platinum forms a stable Schottky contact with diamond, while the excellent conductivity and oxidation resistance of gold ensure the long-term stability of the gate under high-temperature environments. The isolation layer 901 is made of aluminum nitride and deposited at 1050℃ using the MOCVD / ALD method. Its breakdown field strength is not less than 100MV / cm, and its dielectric loss tangent tanδ ≤ 0.0005, combining high thermal conductivity with excellent electrical insulation properties.
[0036] This embodiment achieves multiple performance breakthroughs through a synergistic architecture of "three-layer composite insulation + double-layer composite gate + AlN isolation layer". In terms of electrical performance, the three-layer gradient matching design of the composite structure 801 effectively suppresses interface charge accumulation and reduces interface state density, thereby reducing gate leakage current and threshold voltage drift. The high barrier of the platinum / gold composite gate ensures that the device maintains low gate leakage current and good switching characteristics at high temperatures. Regarding reliability, the ultra-high breakdown field strength of the intrinsic diamond layer 801a significantly improves the withstand voltage capability of the gate dielectric, the density of the silicon nitride layer 801b blocks the intrusion of impurity ions, and the low dielectric loss and excellent thermal conductivity of the AlN isolation layer 901 effectively reduce the heat accumulation effect of the device during high-frequency, high-power operation. The use of a four-layer source 401 and drain 501 further reduces contact resistance and enhances high-temperature stability. Overall, this embodiment is particularly suitable for power switching applications requiring high withstand voltage, low leakage current, and excellent high-temperature stability.

[0039] A channel layer 7 is formed by ion implantation inside substrate layer 1, located between source region P+ layer 2 and drain region P+ layer 3. Channel layer 7 is a region formed from lightly doped boron diamond, situated between source region P+ layer 2 and drain region P+ layer 3; its thickness is 150 nm to 250 nm, preferably 200 nm; wherein the boron doping concentration is... 1; MPCVD in-situ epitaxial growth is adopted, so that the interface of the channel layer 7 is continuous and the defect density is low.

The source 4 includes a four-layer source 401, and the drain 5 includes a four-layer drain 501 (both the four-layer source 401 and the four-layer drain 501 are four-layer structures arranged from bottom to top using titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), and gold (Au); wherein the thickness of the titanium layer is 30nm, the thickness of the aluminum layer is 50nm, the thickness of the nickel layer is 20nm, and the thickness of the gold layer is 40nm; the source-drain spacing is 400μm to 700μm, preferably 550μm).

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, composite structure 802 consists of a hafnium oxide layer 802a and an aluminum oxide layer 802b, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Composite structure 802 utilizes aluminum oxide layer 802b (material: aluminum oxide, chemical formula: ...). ) and hafnium oxide layer 802a (material is hafnium oxide, chemical formula is The composite structure is a double-layer composite structure; the total thickness of the composite structure 802 is 40nm to 60nm, preferably 50nm; the thickness of the alumina layer 802b is 20nm (using ALD process), and the thickness of the hafnium oxide layer 802a is 30nm (using ALD process); this can significantly reduce the interface state density and improve the pressure resistance and stability.
[0042] The innovation of Example 2 lies in the combination of a hafnium oxide / aluminum oxide high-k double-layer composite insulation (composite structure 2 802) and a nickel / platinum / gold three-layer composite gate (composite gate 2 602). In composite structure 2 802, the lower alumina layer 2 802b acts as an interface passivation layer in direct contact with the channel layer 7. The wide bandgap and high dielectric constant of alumina enable it to effectively reduce the interface state density and serve as a reliable electric field buffer layer. The upper hafnium oxide layer 802a has a higher dielectric constant, allowing for a smaller equivalent oxide layer thickness (EOT) with a thicker physical thickness, thereby enhancing the gate's control over the channel while maintaining low gate leakage current.

The nickel layer forms a good Ohm-Schottky contact interface with diamond, the high work function of the platinum layer provides a stable Schottky barrier, and the gold layer ensures low resistance and excellent oxidation resistance. The second isolation layer 902 uses hafnium oxide, whose high dielectric constant and low leakage current characteristics further enhance the electrical isolation effect between the gate and the source and drain.
[0043] This embodiment leverages the material advantages of high-k dielectrics to achieve a thicker physical insulating layer while maintaining a smaller EOT, thus achieving a better balance between gate control capability and reliability. The hafnium oxide / aluminum oxide dual-layer structure design fully utilizes the interface passivation capability of alumina and the high dielectric constant of hafnium oxide, significantly reducing the interface state density and improving the breakdown characteristics of the gate dielectric. The nickel / platinum / gold triple-layer composite gate optimizes the Schottky barrier height through the gradient design of the metal work function, enhancing the gate's ability to control the depletion of channel carriers. In terms of reliability, the hafnium oxide-based high-k dielectric exhibits lower high-temperature leakage current and stronger resistance to thermal carrier injection compared to traditional silicon dioxide gate oxide layers. The alumina / silicon carbide stacked structure of passivation layer 102 effectively blocks the intrusion of external moisture and ions, significantly improving the long-term environmental stability of the device. The four-layer structure of source 401 and drain 501 further optimizes the source-drain ohmic contact, reducing the on-resistance. Overall, this embodiment achieves superior gate control characteristics and lower power consumption while maintaining high voltage withstand capability, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency switching and power conversion applications.
