A grooved MIS structure
transistor with a toothed p-GaN buried layer includes, from bottom to top, a substrate, a
nucleation layer, a first GaN buffer layer, a source-drain p-GaN buried layer, a second GaN buffer layer, a GaN layer, and an AlGaN
barrier layer. A drain
electrode and a source
electrode are respectively provided on both sides of the AlGaN
barrier layer, and a gate
electrode trench is provided on the side of the AlGaN
barrier layer near the drain electrode. Toothed protrusions and grooves matching the protrusions are distributed on the opposite side of the first and second GaN buffer
layers. The toothed source-drain junction between the first and second GaN buffer
layers... The buried p-GaN layer improves the
electric field distribution between the gate and drain, the gate and source, and the source and drain of the device, reducing the average
electric field magnitude. Compared with previous methods, this invention has a better effect on
electric field mitigation, increases the
breakdown voltage of the device, and makes the device more difficult to break down. In addition, by
etching the barrier layer in the region below the gate to form a gate electrode trench, depositing a p-GaN layer on top of the gate electrode trench, and growing a
gate dielectric layer between the p-GaN layer in the gate electrode trench and the gate electrode, a high
threshold voltage and a large current are obtained, reducing the
gate leakage current of the device, while improving the gate's withstand
voltage capability, increasing the switching speed of the device, and improving the reliability of the device operation.
