The invention belongs to the technical field of
semiconductor device manufacturing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a P-GaN gate enhanced GaN HEMT (
High Electron Mobility
Transistor), which comprises the following steps of: sequentially growing a nucleating layer, a cache layer, a channel layer, a
barrier layer and a P-type GaN layer on a substrate; forming active region isolation of the device through photoetching and
etching processes; photoetching a source
electrode region and a drain
electrode region,
etching to remove the P-type GaN layer in the regions, and depositing and annealing to form N-type
ohmic contact; photoetching a P-type ohmic region, reserving a part of the P-type GaN layer on the drain side,
etching to remove the rest part, and depositing and annealing to form P-type
ohmic contact; photoetching a gate region, and depositing and annealing to form
Schottky gate metal; and performing
plasma passivation treatment on the P-type GaN between the gate source and the gate drain by taking the gate
metal and the P-type ohmic
metal as masks, and annealing in a
nitrogen atmosphere to convert the P-type GaN into high-resistance GaN. According to the invention, the phenomenon that the device cannot be positively conducted under low drain
electrode voltage can be effectively avoided.
