The same element symbols in the drawings represent the same elements or layers. The method of fabricating the gate structure of the semiconductor device of the present embodiment includes the following steps: First, as shown in FIG. 1A, a passivation layer 30 is formed on the gate contact layer 21. The material of the gate contact layer 21 may be selected from ruthenium, ruthenium dioxide, ruthenium osmium, phosphide semiconductor, germanide semiconductor or nitride semiconductor. In this embodiment, aluminum gallium nitride (Al 0.27 Ga 0.73 N) is taken as an example. In addition, the material of the passivation layer 30 is, for example, tantalum nitride, but is not limited thereto. The passivation layer 30 of this embodiment may be formed on the gate contact layer 21 by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process, but is not limited thereto. The thickness of the passivation layer 30 is, for example, 30 nm. After the passivation layer 30 is deposited, the formed passivation layer 30 may not be subjected to an annealing treatment.

接著,如圖1B所示,進行微影製程以在鈍化層30上形成第一圖案化光阻層40,其中第一圖案化光阻層40具有暴露部分鈍化層30之第一窗口41。本實施例中,利用微影製程形成第一圖案化光阻層40之具體步驟例如是先於鈍化層30上形成光阻材料層,其中形成光阻材料層的方式例如是旋轉塗佈(spin-coating)。接著,採用具有特定線寬(例如1.2μm)之光罩以及對準器(Aligner)對光阻材料層進行曝光顯影以在光阻材料層中形成第一窗口41,進而形成第一圖案化光阻層40。上述之對準器例如配置有波長為365奈米之紫外光源。此外,第一窗口41之沿一方向(如水平方向)的長度W1大致上等於光罩之線寬(如1.2μm)。光阻材料層之材質可選用正光阻材料或者負光阻材料。Next, as shown in FIG. 1B, a lithography process is performed to form a first patterned photoresist layer 40 on the passivation layer 30, wherein the first patterned photoresist layer 40 has a first window 41 exposing a portion of the passivation layer 30. In this embodiment, a specific step of forming the first patterned photoresist layer 40 by using a lithography process is, for example, forming a photoresist material layer on the passivation layer 30, wherein the photoresist layer is formed by spin coating (spin). -coating). Next, the photoresist material layer is exposed and developed by using a photomask having a specific line width (for example, 1.2 μm) and an aligner to form a first window 41 in the photoresist material layer, thereby forming the first patterned light. Resistive layer 40. The aligner described above is, for example, provided with an ultraviolet light source having a wavelength of 365 nm. Further, the length W1 of the first window 41 in one direction (e.g., horizontal direction) is substantially equal to the line width of the photomask (e.g., 1.2 μm). The material of the photoresist material layer may be a positive photoresist material or a negative photoresist material.

然後,如圖1C所示,進行蝕刻製程以移除鈍化層30之暴露於第一窗口41之部分,進而形成具有閘極窗口32之鈍化層31,其中閘極窗口32暴露出部分閘極接觸層21。閘極窗口32沿水平方向之長度大致上等於前述光罩之線寬。在此,第一圖案化光阻層40係作為蝕刻遮罩,而蝕刻製程可選用濕蝕刻製程,所採用的化學蝕刻液包括混合比例為1:1之氫氟酸與水,但並不以此為限。此外,此處之蝕刻製程也可為乾蝕刻製程。Then, as shown in FIG. 1C, an etching process is performed to remove portions of the passivation layer 30 exposed to the first window 41, thereby forming a passivation layer 31 having a gate window 32, wherein the gate window 32 exposes a portion of the gate contact Layer 21. The length of the gate window 32 in the horizontal direction is substantially equal to the line width of the aforementioned mask. Here, the first patterned photoresist layer 40 is used as an etch mask, and the etching process may be performed by a wet etching process, and the chemical etching solution used includes hydrofluoric acid and water in a mixing ratio of 1:1, but not This is limited. In addition, the etching process herein may also be a dry etching process.

之後,如圖1D所示,移除第一圖案化光阻層40以完全暴露出具有閘極窗口32之鈍化層31。在此,第一圖案化光阻層40可採用灰化(ashing)製程去除,但不以此為限。Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1D, the first patterned photoresist layer 40 is removed to completely expose the passivation layer 31 having the gate window 32. Here, the first patterned photoresist layer 40 can be removed by an ashing process, but is not limited thereto.

接著,如圖1E所示,以偏移曝光對準方式進行另一微影製程以在鈍化層31上形成第二圖案化光阻層50,其中部分第二圖案化光阻層50係填入部分閘極窗口32內以覆蓋部分閘極接觸層21。第二圖案化光阻層50具有與閘極窗口32部分重疊之第二窗口51,且第二窗口51暴露出部分閘極接觸層21及部分鈍化層31,並與閘極窗口32共同構成Γ型窗口。本實施例中,以偏移曝光對準方式進行微影製程來形成第二圖案化光阻層50之具體步驟例如是先於鈍化層31上形成光阻材料層,此光阻材料層係填入閘極窗口32內,而形成光阻材料層的方法例如是旋轉塗佈。接著,採用第一次微影製程所使用的光罩及對準器以偏移曝光對準方式對光阻材料層進行曝光顯影以在光阻材料層中形成第二窗口51,並且移除位於閘極窗口32內的光阻材料層,進而形成第二圖案化光阻層50。上述之偏移曝光對準方式是指相較於第一次微影製程,光罩的位置在第二次微影製程時有偏移。光罩偏移的距離係設定為小於光罩的線寬。在本實施例中,光罩偏移的距離例如是光罩的線寬之一半。此外,第二窗口51沿水平方向之長度W2同樣等於光罩之線寬。光阻材料層之材質可選用正光阻材料或者負光阻材料。需要說明的是,閘極窗口32與第二窗口51之重疊程度決定後續形成的閘極電極之沿水平方向的長度以及場極板沿水平方向的長度。換言之,本發明實施例可以根據不同的設計來調整光罩偏移的距離,以使閘極長度及場極板長度能符合需求。另外,雖然在本實施例中,上述兩次微影製程係採用相同的光罩,但在另一實施例中,上述兩次微影製程亦可採用不同的光罩。Next, as shown in FIG. 1E, another lithography process is performed in an offset exposure alignment manner to form a second patterned photoresist layer 50 on the passivation layer 31, wherein a portion of the second patterned photoresist layer 50 is filled in. A portion of the gate window 32 covers a portion of the gate contact layer 21. The second patterned photoresist layer 50 has a second window 51 partially overlapping the gate window 32, and the second window 51 exposes a portion of the gate contact layer 21 and a portion of the passivation layer 31, and is formed together with the gate window 32. Type window. In this embodiment, the specific step of forming the second patterned photoresist layer 50 by the lithography process in the offset exposure alignment manner is, for example, forming a photoresist material layer on the passivation layer 31, and the photoresist layer is filled. The method of forming the photoresist layer 32 into the gate window 32 is, for example, spin coating. Then, the photoresist layer and the aligner used in the first lithography process are exposed and developed in an offset exposure alignment manner to form a second window 51 in the photoresist material layer, and the removal is located A layer of photoresist material within the gate window 32 further forms a second patterned photoresist layer 50. The above-mentioned offset exposure alignment means that the position of the reticle is offset in the second lithography process compared to the first lithography process. The distance at which the mask is offset is set to be smaller than the line width of the mask. In the present embodiment, the distance at which the reticle is offset is, for example, one-half of the line width of the reticle. Further, the length W2 of the second window 51 in the horizontal direction is also equal to the line width of the reticle. The material of the photoresist material layer may be a positive photoresist material or a negative photoresist material. It should be noted that the degree of overlap between the gate window 32 and the second window 51 determines the length of the subsequently formed gate electrode in the horizontal direction and the length of the field plate in the horizontal direction. In other words, the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the distance of the reticle offset according to different designs, so that the gate length and the field plate length can meet the requirements. In addition, in the embodiment, the two lithography processes use the same reticle, but in another embodiment, the lithography process may also use different reticle.

接著,如圖1F所示,於Γ型窗口內形成Γ型閘極結構60。具體而言,本實施例例如是透過蒸鍍方式形成鎳/金堆疊層結構而得Γ型閘極結構60,其中鎳層的厚度例如是100奈米,金層的厚度例如是50奈米。在此,第二圖案化光阻層50係作為蒸鍍遮罩。Γ型閘極結構60包括一體成型之閘極電極61與場極板63,閘極電極61位於閘極窗口32與第二窗口51內且與閘極接觸層21相接觸(例如形成蕭特基接觸),場極板63位於第二窗口51內且自閘極電極61一側延伸至鈍化層31上。Next, as shown in FIG. 1F, a 闸-type gate structure 60 is formed in the Γ-type window. Specifically, in the present embodiment, for example, a nickel/gold stacked layer structure is formed by vapor deposition to obtain a germanium gate structure 60, wherein the thickness of the nickel layer is, for example, 100 nm, and the thickness of the gold layer is, for example, 50 nm. Here, the second patterned photoresist layer 50 serves as a vapor deposition mask. The 闸-type gate structure 60 includes an integrally formed gate electrode 61 and a field plate 63. The gate electrode 61 is located in the gate window 32 and the second window 51 and is in contact with the gate contact layer 21 (for example, forming a Schottky In contact, the field plate 63 is located in the second window 51 and extends from the side of the gate electrode 61 to the passivation layer 31.

之後,如圖1G所示,移除第二圖案化光阻層50而製得所需的Γ型閘極結構60。此第二圖案化光阻層50可透過掀起(lift-off)製程去除。Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1G, the second patterned photoresist layer 50 is removed to produce the desired germanium gate structure 60. The second patterned photoresist layer 50 can be removed by a lift-off process.

本實施例之半導體元件之閘極結構的製造方法因採用偏移曝光的方法,所以製作出的閘極電極61的長度能比光罩之線寬還短,而且還能同時製作出場極板63。Since the method of manufacturing the gate structure of the semiconductor device of the present embodiment employs the method of offset exposure, the length of the gate electrode 61 can be made shorter than the line width of the mask, and the field plate 63 can be simultaneously fabricated. .

The channel layer 23 is located between the gate contact layer 21 and the substrate 10, and may be made of tantalum, niobium, gallium arsenide, indium gallium arsenide, indium phosphide or a nitride semiconductor. In the present embodiment, the channel layer 23 is, for example, a two-dimensional electron gas channel layer formed at a hetero interface between the gate contact layer 21 and the buffer layer 25. The buffer layer 25 is located between the channel layer 23 and the substrate 10.

Herein, the combination of the specific materials of the gate contact layer 21, the channel layer 23, the buffer layer 25 and the nucleation layer 27 in the substrate 10 and the semiconductor layer structure 20 can be determined by those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be exemplified. .

承上述,源極電極S與汲極電極D皆與半導體層結構20中之通道層23相接觸。具體而言,源極電極S與汲極電極D皆可為鈦/鋁/金堆疊層結構,並與通道層23形成歐姆接觸。鈍化層31位於源極電極S與汲極電極D之間的閘極接觸層21上,其具有沿水平方向之長度為L的閘極窗口32,此長度L大致上等於前述光罩之線寬(例如1.2μm)。鈍化層31的材質可選用氮化矽,但並不以此為限,而鈍化層31的厚度例如是30奈米或者其他合適厚度。在此藉由調控鈍化層31的厚度,可獲致所需之電流增益、崩潰電壓、高頻截止頻率、輸出功率等特性規格。Γ型閘極結構60包括一體成型之閘極電極61與場極板63。部分閘極電極61(亦即圖2中之閘極電極的下部分)位於閘極窗口32內且與閘極接觸層21形成蕭特基(Schottky)接觸。場極板63自位於閘極窗口63之外的部分閘極電極(亦即圖2中之閘極電極的上部分)61的一側延伸至鈍化層31上。雖然本實施例之場極板63係位於閘極電極61之鄰近汲極電極D的一側,但場極板63亦可視不同需求而位於閘極電極61之不同側,如位於閘極電極61之鄰近源極電極S的一側。在進行第二次微影製程時,可藉由控制光罩偏移後的位置來決定場極板63的位置。In the above, the source electrode S and the drain electrode D are both in contact with the channel layer 23 in the semiconductor layer structure 20. Specifically, both the source electrode S and the drain electrode D may be a titanium/aluminum/gold stacked layer structure and form an ohmic contact with the channel layer 23.

The material of the passivation layer 31 may be tantalum nitride, but not limited thereto, and the thickness of the passivation layer 31 is, for example, 30 nm or other suitable thickness. Here, by adjusting the thickness of the passivation layer 31, characteristics such as current gain, breakdown voltage, high frequency cutoff frequency, and output power can be obtained. The 闸-type gate structure 60 includes an integrally formed gate electrode 61 and a field plate 63. A portion of the gate electrode 61 (i.e., the lower portion of the gate electrode of FIG. 2) is located within the gate window 32 and forms a Schottky contact with the gate contact layer 21. The field plate 63 extends from one side of a portion of the gate electrode (i.e., the upper portion of the gate electrode in FIG. 2) 61 outside the gate window 63 to the passivation layer 31. Although the field plate 63 of the present embodiment is located on the side of the gate electrode 61 adjacent to the gate electrode D, the field plate 63 may be located on different sides of the gate electrode 61 depending on various requirements, such as at the gate electrode 61. It is adjacent to one side of the source electrode S. When the second lithography process is performed, the position of the field plate 63 can be determined by controlling the position after the reticle is shifted.

再者,從圖2可以得知,閘極窗口32沿水平方向的長度L等於閘極電極61沿水平方向之長度Lg 與場極板63沿水平方向之長度Lf 的總和。Further, it can be seen from Figure 2, the length of the gate 32 in the horizontal direction of the window L is equal to the sum of the gate electrode 61 in the horizontal direction, the length L G of the field plate 63 in the horizontal direction of the L F.

Both of the semiconductor elements used the same mask (line width of 1.2 μm) and lithography process conditions. The gate length L g of the 闸-type gate structure is 0.6 μm and the field plate length L f is 0.6 μm. The gate length of the conventional gate structure is 1.2 μm and there is no field plate. V GS in Fig. 3 is the gate-source voltage, and the V GS difference (step) corresponding to each characteristic curve is -1 volt (V).

從I-V特性比較圖中可清楚發現具有Γ型閘極結構的半導體元件可大幅提升汲極-源極電流密度與轉換互導等特性,同時藉由氮化矽鈍化技術,有效抑制表面捕捉電荷效應、降低閘極漏電流。具有傳統閘極結構的習知半導體元件其汲極-源極飽和電流密度值約為286.3毫安/毫米(mA/mm),而具有Γ型閘極結構的半導體元件其汲極-源極飽和電流密度值約為363.4mA/mm。因此,相較於習知技術,本發明實施例之具有Γ型閘極結構的半導體元件其汲極-源極飽和電流密度值大幅提升27%。It can be clearly seen from the IV characteristic comparison chart that the semiconductor device having the Γ-type gate structure can greatly improve the characteristics of the drain-source current density and the conversion mutual conductance, and at the same time, the surface charge trapping effect is effectively suppressed by the tantalum nitride passivation technique. Reduce the gate leakage current. A conventional semiconductor device having a conventional gate structure has a drain-source saturation current density value of about 286.3 mA/mm (mA/mm), and a semiconductor device having a Γ-type gate structure has a drain-source saturation. The current density value is approximately 363.4 mA/mm. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the semiconductor element having the Γ-type gate structure of the embodiment of the present invention has a gate-source saturation current density value which is greatly improved by 27%.
