As shown in Figure 10 c and Figure 10 d, after grid 206 is formed, it is situated between in the surface growth regulation two of barrier layer 205 and grid 206 Matter layer 213, then removal is except the second dielectric layer of gate edge, and to form grid curb wall 215 and 216, second dielectric layer is Insulating materials can be SiN, SiO2, Al2O3 or HfO2 etc..Grid curb wall 215 and 216 is for preventing grid 206 and source electrode 209 or 210 short circuit of drain electrode, and reduce the leakage current of grid 206.
As illustrated in figure 10e, it is masking with grid 206 and grid curb wall 215 and 216, the region of 206 both sides of grid is carried out Etching, removes the barrier layer 205 of 206 both sides whole thickness of grid and the barrier layer 204 of whole thickness to expose active layer 203, Or remove barrier layer 205 and whole barrier layers 204 of thickness and the having for part layer thickness of 206 both sides whole thickness of grid Active layer 203, the barrier layer 205 not being removed, barrier layer 204 and active layer 203 are respectively formed Resistance 212,211 and of barrier region Active area 210.
As shown in figure 10f, it is regrowed with doping in the region of 206 both sides of grid etched using regrowth techniques The semi-conducting material of particle forms low-resistance region 207.
The semi-conducting material with doping particle can be (0≤x, y, z≤1 InxAlyGazN;X+y+z=1) or The lamination of other semi-conducting materials or these semi-conducting materials.Wherein doped chemical can be Si, whole doping concentration 1 × 1019cm-3Magnitude.
In this example, in order to further decrease the short-circuit possibility of low-resistance region 207 and grid 206, and reduce low resistance Leakage current between area 207 and grid 206 is carrying out semi-conducting material of the regrowth with doping particle to low-resistance region 207 When so that they towards 206 side of grid surface A less than the Resistance 212 the surface B towards gate electrode side (such as Figure 11 institutes Show).
As shown in Figure 10 g, source electrode 208 and drain electrode 209 are respectively formed on the low-resistance region 207 of 206 both sides of grid.
Source electrode 208 and the contact type of drain electrode 209 are Ohmic contact, form the annealing temperature needed for Ohmic contact and are less than grid The fusing point of 206 refractory material of pole.
The manufacturing method of HEMT device and HEMT device that the embodiment of the present invention three provides, has by source and drain self-registered technology Effect ground shorten grid source away from grid leak away from, reduce grid source series resistance and grid leak series resistance, improve device high frequency spy Property;And accurate alignment need not be carried out when low-resistance region formation, the requirement to photoetching process alignment precision is reduced, improves The yield rate of device reduces production cost, by increasing barrier layer between barrier layer and grid, can reduce barrier layer Etch damage.Further, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, grid avoids Ohmic contact high temperature using refractory material and moves back Grid knot caused by fire is degenerated, and the yield rate and reliability source and drain regrowth process for improving device effectively improve source-drain electrode Ohmic contact characteristic, ohmic contact resistance is reduced, so as to improve the high frequency performance of device.
The foregoing is merely the preferred embodiment of the present invention, are not intended to restrict the invention, for those skilled in the art For, the present invention can have various modifications and changes.Each embodiment of the present invention can phase on the basis of not violating logic Mutually combination.All any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and so within spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in this Within the protection domain of invention.
