However, as the gallium nitride channel layer is thinned, more dislocation defects are generated, and in the process of preparing the ohmic electrode of the HEMT device, the entire crystal is more susceptible to damage, and the dislocation defects are further amplified, resulting in a decrease in the electron concentration and other properties of the channel of the HEMT device, a decrease in the output saturation current, and a more serious current collapse effect.

[0017] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a transistor provided by the first embodiment of the present application. In order to achieve at least one of the described advantages or other advantages, an embodiment of the present application provides a transistor. As shown in the figure, the transistor can include a channel layer 11, a barrier layer 12, a first region 21 of an ion implantation region, a second region 22 of the ion implantation region, a passivation layer 13 and an ohmic electrode 14. That is, the transistor includes an ion implantation region, which includes the first region 21 and the second region 22.

[0018] The channel layer 11 is preferably a non-intentionally doped gallium nitride layer. The thickness H3 of the channel layer 11 ranges from 200 to 640 nm, thereby greatly improving the voltage resistance of the transistor device, allowing the transistor to be applied in a higher voltage scenario, and achieving greater output power and efficiency.

[0019] The barrier layer 12 is disposed on the channel layer 11. The material of the barrier layer 12 can include AlGaN.

[0020] The passivation layer 13 is disposed on the barrier layer 12 and has an opening. The material of the passivation layer 13 can include silicon nitride.

[0021] The ohmic electrode 14 is disposed on the passivation layer 13 and connected to the first region 21 through the opening. The ohmic electrode 14 can be a source electrode or a drain electrode, or both the source electrode and the drain electrode can be used to connect the first region 21. In some embodiments, the lower surface of the ohmic electrode 14 is within the channel layer 11 and does not directly contact the second region 22. The ohmic electrode 14 can be a laminated metal structure such as Ti, Al, Ni, and Au, or a laminated metal structure such as Ti, Pt, and Au. Optionally, the thickness of the ohmic electrode 14 ranges from 500 to 600 nm.

[0022] The first region 21 extends from the upper surface of the barrier layer 12 to the channel layer 11 and extends into the channel layer 11. The first region 21 has a recess 30, which can be formed by collapsing from the upper surface of the barrier layer 12 to the channel layer 11. The ohmic electrode 14 is connected to the first region 21 through the recess 30, i.e., the ohmic electrode 14 fills the recess 30. The second region 22 is located within the channel layer 11 and communicates with the first region 21. The peak ion concentration of the first region 21 is greater than the peak ion concentration of the second region 22. Taking the first region 21 as an example, the peak ion concentration refers to the highest ion concentration value within the first region 21. In some embodiments, the average ion concentration of the first region 21 is greater than the average ion concentration of the second region 22.

[0023] The present application forms a low ohmic contact resistance by gradient concentration implantation, i.e., disposing the first region 21 with a higher concentration on the barrier layer 12 and the channel layer 11, and disposing the second region 22 with a lower concentration within the channel layer 11, thereby avoiding damage to the crystal and reducing dislocation defects when thinning the channel layer 11, and improving the performance of the transistor.

[0024] In some embodiments, silicon ions are implanted in the first region 21, and the silicon concentration in the first region 21 ranges from 1E18 to 5E20 Atom / cm 3The silicon concentration in the first region 21 increases first and then decreases along the direction from the barrier layer 12 to the channel layer 11, that is, the silicon concentration of the first region 21 gradually increases to the maximum concentration and then decreases downward along the direction from top to bottom in the figure. Silicon ions are implanted in the second region 22, and the silicon concentration in the second region 22 ranges from 1E17 to 1E18 Atom / cm 3 The second region 22 is a transition region, and the ion concentration gradient in the second region 22 decreases to 1E17-1E18 Atom / cm 3 The shortest distance S1 from the lower boundary of the second region 22 to the lower surface of the channel layer 11 is formed in the range of 50-150 nm, which reduces the current collapse effect of the device. The closer to the lower part of the channel layer 11, the higher the crystal dislocation density and the relatively poor crystal quality. The second region 22 is arranged in the lower half of the channel layer 11, and the corresponding concentration is designed to be 1E17-1E18 Atom / cm 3 The current collapse effect of the device can be effectively reduced.

[0025] The silicon concentration in the second region 22 gradually decreases along the direction from the barrier layer 12 to the channel layer 11. In some embodiments, other ions can be implanted in the first region 21 and the second region 22. In some embodiments, the concentration of the first region 21 at its upper boundary is higher than that at its lower boundary; and the concentration of the second region 22 at its upper boundary is higher than that at its lower boundary.

[0026] It should be noted that the ohmic electrodes 14 on the left and right sides in the figure are both provided with the first region 21 and the second region 22 below them, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the first region 21 and the second region 22 can also be arranged below one of the ohmic electrodes 14 to achieve the corresponding effect. Considering that it is not convenient to define and distinguish the first region 21 and the second region 22 in actual situations, the definition of the first region 21 can be made by the concentration change of the first region 21, for example, the region where the concentration of the first region 21 increases first and then decreases from the upper surface of the barrier layer 12 downward in the range of 1E18-5E20 Atom / cm 3 It should be noted that the concentration increase and decrease are not linear concentration changes, but the overall trend of the concentration increases or decreases, for example, in the process of concentration increase, each wave peak can be higher than the previous one in a wave shape; similarly, in the process of concentration decrease, each wave peak can be lower than the previous one in a wave shape. The definition of the second region 22 can be made by the concentration change of the second region 22, for example, the concentration of the second region 21 decreases from the upper surface of the barrier layer 12 downward in the range of 1E17-1E18 Atom / cm 3The region where the concentration decreases from the first region 21 to below 1E17 is the second region 22, and the change in the decrease in the concentration is not a linear concentration change, but the overall trend of the concentration shows a decrease, for example, in the process of the decrease in the concentration, it can be wavy, and each wave peak is lower than the previous one.

[0027] In some embodiments, the thickness H1 of the first region 21 is greater than the thickness H2 of the second region 22, so that the region 200 nm from the upper surface 100 of the barrier layer 12 can be heavily doped to form an ohmic, so that the region is in full contact with the two-dimensional electron gas of the device, and the ohmic contact resistivity is reduced. Optionally, the thickness H1 of the first region 21 ranges from 100 to 200 nm. Optionally, the thickness H2 of the second region 22 ranges from 85 to 300 nm.

[0028] In some embodiments, for the channel layer 11 with a thickness H3 of 200-640 nm, the channel layer 11 can be made of gallium nitride epitaxial material, and the shortest distance S1 from the lower boundary of the second region 22 to the lower surface of the channel layer 11 ranges from 50 to 150 nm.

[0029] Table 1

[0030]

[0031] As shown in Table 1, for the ratio relationship between S1 and H3 of the values of the present application in different value cases, preferably, the ratio relationship between S1 and H3 is: 1 / 12 < S1 / H3 <1 / 2.

[0032] When S1 / H3 <1 / 12, the silicon concentration ranges from 1E17 to 1E18 Atom / cm 3 The second region 22 with a silicon concentration of 1E17-1E18 Atom / cm 3 can be significantly different from the silicon concentration of other regions in the channel layer 11, so that the lower side of the silicon concentration range is taken as the lower boundary.

[0033] When S1 / H3>1 / 2 (for example, S1>150 nm), the lower boundary of the second region 22 is too high, so that part of the channel hot electrons in the S1 range area are captured by the hole-like defects in the region when the device is working, the current density is reduced, and the output power is reduced. Therefore, by means of implantation, the size of the region is controlled, and then the drain current and current collapse performance of the device are adjusted, which is particularly important for preparing gallium nitride transistors.

[0034] In a further more preferred solution, when the thickness H3 of the channel layer 11 is in the range of 200-640 nm, the ratio of S1 to H3 can be: 1 / 8 < S1 / H3 <1 / 4. On the one hand, the cross-sectional area of the ion implantation region is relatively large, and the surface area of the groove formed in the channel layer 11 is relatively large, which can improve the ohmic contact area of the source or drain, thereby improving the ohmic contact performance of the source or drain; on the other hand, it can make the groove 30 easier to manufacture, thereby improving the consistency of the device, and the crystal at the lower part of the channel layer 11 can avoid the bombardment of silicon ion implantation.

[0035] In some embodiments, the shortest distance from the contact point of the ohmic electrode 14 on the upper surface of the barrier layer 12 to the side boundary of the first region 21 to the contact point of the barrier layer 12 on the upper surface is L1, and L1 is in the range of 0.5-0.7 μm, which is beneficial to the formation of ohmic contact. Considering that in actual situations, the side boundary of the first region 21 is not easy to determine, the silicon concentration range of 1E18-5E20 Atom / cm 3 will be significantly different from the silicon concentration of other regions in the barrier layer 12, so that the side boundary is taken as the side where the contact point of the ohmic electrode 14 is located. In some embodiments, the angle between the ohmic electrode 14 and the upper surface of the barrier layer 12 is in the range of 70-80°, which is beneficial to the formation of ohmic contact.

[0036] In some embodiments, the vertical distance from the lower surface of the ohmic electrode 14 to the upper surface of the barrier layer 12 is d1, and the thickness of the barrier layer 12 is d2, 5 nm+d2≤d1≤100 nm, which ensures the vertical longitudinal region of the ohmic electrode, and the barrier layer is replaced by metal filling. On the one hand, the crystal defects of the part of the barrier region are increased or amplified after implantation, so that the current collapse is serious when the device is working, and on the other hand, the metal is directly in contact with the two-dimensional electron gas, which is beneficial to the formation of low ohmic contact resistance; ensure the formation of ohmic contact. The value range of d2 can be 10-35 nm.

[0037] In some embodiments, the transistor can further include a gate 15 disposed on the passivation layer 13 and connected to the barrier layer 12. In some embodiments, the shortest distance between the contact point on the upper surface of the barrier layer 12 to the side boundary of the first region 21 is L2, and L2 is in the range of 0.6-1.5 μm, which is conducive to the preparation of the gate.

[0038] It should be noted that the transistor device provided by the present application can include other structures in addition to the above structure, and the conventional setting mode in the prior art can be used, such as an insertion layer between the channel layer and the barrier layer, the insertion layer being an AlN layer, and a GaN cap layer being further provided on the barrier layer. Therefore, the present embodiment will not be described here. In addition, the epitaxial structure of the transistor provided by the present embodiment can also be applied to the HEMT structure of other material systems.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a transistor provided by a second embodiment of the present application. Compared with the transistor shown in FIG. 1, the difference of the present embodiment mainly lies in that the transistor further includes a substrate 16 and a nucleation layer 17. The nucleation layer 17 is disposed on the substrate 16. The channel layer 11 is disposed on the nucleation layer 17. The material of the substrate 16 can include silicon carbide, silicon, or any other suitable substrate 16 for epitaxial growth of GaN material known to those skilled in the art, which is not specifically limited in the present application. The material of the nucleation layer 17 can include aluminum nitride. By setting the shortest distance S1 between the lower boundary of the second region 22 to the lower surface of the channel layer 11 in the range of 50-100 nm, the influence of the bombardment of silicon ion implantation on the nucleation layer 17 can also be reduced, thereby avoiding the decline in crystal quality and seriously affecting the current collapse performance.

[0040] Referring to FIGS. 3-7, FIGS. 3-7 are structural schematic diagrams of the transistor at each stage in the preparation process according to an embodiment of the present application. An embodiment of the present application further provides a preparation method of a transistor, which includes the following steps:

[0042] Second, as shown in FIG. 4, the passivation layer 13 is grown on the barrier layer 12, and the passivation layer 13 is opened to expose the source region and the drain region.

Specifically, the plasma etching method can be used to etch the groove 30 shape by gas proportioning (such as CF4, N2, O2, BCl3, etc.), and then the ohmic electrode 14 is formed by the electron beam evaporation machine.

[0045] Finally, as shown in FIG. 7, a slot is opened at the preset gate region of the passivation layer 13, and then a gate 15 is arranged at the gate region.
