Description

[0002] Known high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) are transistors that have a two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG), which is adjacent to a heterojunction surface located between two types of materials with different band gaps.

[0031] [Figure 1] This flowchart shows a method for manufacturing an epitaxial structure according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is an epitaxial configuration according to a preferred first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is an epitaxial configuration according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is an epitaxial configuration according to a preferred second embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] This is an epitaxial configuration according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0032] To explain the present invention more clearly, preferred embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing an epitaxial structure 1 according to a preferred first embodiment of the present invention, and the method for manufacturing the epitaxial structure 1 includes the following steps.

[0033] Step S02 provides a substrate 10, which may be, for example, a silicon substrate or a carbonized silicon substrate.

[0034] Step S04 involves forming a first buffer layer 20 on top of the substrate 10, and the first buffer layer 20 may be an aluminum-containing nitride layer, such as aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN). Step S04 further includes controlling the surface aluminum content of the first buffer layer 20 to be 20 at% or less.

[0035] In this embodiment, the aluminum content on the surface of the first buffer layer 20 is described as equal to 10 at%, but the thickness T1 of the first buffer layer 20 is preferably 3 μm or more. This increases the dielectric strength. The aluminum content in the first buffer layer 20 may decrease gradually in a stepwise or linear manner from the surface in contact with the substrate 10 towards the surface of the first buffer layer 20. Furthermore, the first buffer layer 20 may be composed of a single layer, multiple layers, or a superlattice layer.

Of these, the high-temperature process pressure is more than twice the first low-temperature process pressure. The high-temperature process pressure is 150 torr or more. The first low-temperature process pressure is 75 torr or less.

[0039] Among them, the thickness T2 of the first intrinsic doping structure 32 is larger than the thickness T3 of the external impurity doping structure 34. The thickness T2 of the first intrinsic doping structure 32 is 2 to 6 times the thickness T3 of the external impurity doping structure 34. In this embodiment, the case where the multiple is 5 is taken as an example for description. The total thickness of the first intrinsic doping structures 32 in the roughened layer 30 accounts for 60% or more of the thickness T of the roughened layer 30, and the thickness T of the roughened layer 30 is greater than or equal to 600 nm and less than or equal to 1000 nm.

In this embodiment, it is exemplarily described that the carbon doping concentration in the first intrinsic doping structure 32 is 3E19 cm -3 and the carbon doping concentration in the external impurity doping structure 34 is 1E19 cm -3 .

[0041] Step S08 is forming a second buffer layer 40 above the roughened layer 30. In this embodiment, the second buffer layer 40 is an aluminum-free gallium nitride (GaN) layer, the thickness T4 of the second buffer layer 40 is 1.5 um or more, the second buffer layer 40 is formed in a high-temperature environment higher than 1000 degrees Celsius and a high-pressure environment of 150 torr to 200 torr, and the external impurity doped carbon concentration in the second buffer layer 40 is 1E19 cm -3 or more and 3E19 cm -3 or less.

[0042] Step S10 involves forming a channel layer 50 above the second buffer layer 40, and the channel layer 50 may be a nitride channel layer, for example, gallium nitride (GaN).

[0043] In this embodiment, the first low-temperature growth step and the high-temperature growth step are performed sequentially at least once to form the roughened layer 30 formed by superimposing the first essential doping configuration 32 and the external impurity doping configuration 34 (see Figure 2).
