Abstract

The invention provides a method for reducing parasitic capacitances of a gate of a millimeter-wave AlGaN/GaN HEMT. The main structure of a microwave millimeter wave chip comprises an SiC substrate, an epitaxial channel, a barrier layer, a source-drain electrode and a T-shaped gate, wherein the T-shaped gate structure is prepared by once molding of electronic beams; and the method for reducing the gate parasitic capacitance of the millimeter-wave AlGaN/GaN HEMT comprises the steps as follows: a gate metal is stripped; a gate structure is passivated; the passivated compact dielectric has BOE solution corrosion resistance characteristic; capacitive dielectrics are grown; the gate is exposed while a capacitor structure is protected by gum by a photolithography technique; the capacitive dielectric is corroded by a BOE solution; and the capacitive dielectrics at two sides of the gate are eliminated and the passivated dielectric is reserved by controlling time. With different dielectrics as passivated and capacitive dielectrics, the parasitic capacitances at two sides of the gate are selectively eliminated. According to the method, with a high-temperature SiN dielectric with high density for gate passivation and a low-temperature SiN dielectric with low density as the capacitance, the capacitive dielectrics at two sides of the gate are eliminated by virtue of the BOE corrosion rate difference between the dielectric for gate passivation and the dielectric as the capacitance to reduce the parasitic capacitances of the gate.

Description

Reduce the method for millimeter wave AlGaN/GaN HEMT gate stray capacitance
Technical field
The present invention relates to grid preparation technology, particularly relate to a kind of method reducing millimeter wave AlGaN/GaNHEMT grid stray capacitance.
Background technology
Three generations's semi-conductor has broad application prospects in the high frequency field of microwave and millimeter wave chip. Millimeter wave GaNHEMT device has operating voltage height, and output rating can reach more than watt level, and power density height and operating frequency can reach the advantages such as 100GHz. And the main technique bottleneck restricting high-frequency element development is the parasitic problem with little size grid. The grid technique preparation of current GaN millimeter H EMT device is commonly the T-shape grid based on electron-beam direct writing or " Y " type grid. And prepare T-shape grid or the grid technique of " Y " type grid, what generally adopt is naked grid technique. So-called naked grid technique refers to, not growth medium before grid evaporation of metal, directly obtains glue-type by electron-beam direct writing or deep-UV lithography on epitaxial material, after grid evaporation of metal, glue-type is converted into grid-type, and stripping obtains metal gate. For GaN device, the ohmic alloy metal adopted due to its source and drain is TiAlNiAu, and this metal system can not be exposed in air and water for a long time due to the oxidizable characteristic of Al and Ni. So directly adopting naked grid technique and not being suitable for the preparation of GaNHEMT device. In addition, naked grid technique itself has certain deficiency: naked grid structure does not have medium to assist in grid moulding process, peels off easily grid, and subsequent technique stability is not high. For GaN material, it is necessary to source and drain metal protection before grid technique, generally, the method for employing is growth one layer of medium. In addition, due to the feature of naked grid existence and stability difference, it is necessary to it is carried out passivation protection. For the chip preparation with MMIC monolithic, generally also need growth capacitor dielectric. Wherein the dielectric passivation of grid both sides is grill-protected stability, and unnecessary capacitor dielectric then adds the effect of grid stray capacitance, is unfavorable for that the high frequency characteristics of millimetric wave device improves.Another passivation is then adopt the BCB medium of low-k as passivation, and it can ensure that grid both sides have less stray capacitance, but BCB medium has bigger lossy microwave angle, is unfavorable for that the high frequency characteristics of millimetric wave device improves equally.
The device that live width is bigger adopts another kind of medium to assist grid technique. The auxiliary grid technique of medium refers to, before photoetching grid pin figure, grown medium bottom epitaxial material, utilizes etching means to be etched by grid pin, has had dielectric support just can strengthen its stability during so follow-up grid evaporation of metal. And for the auxiliary grid-type of medium, its deficiency is: thicker medium brings bigger stray capacitance, because there is the problem such as line width loss and alignment in dielectric etch simultaneously, causes the auxiliary shaping preparation of grid of medium to complete. For the GaNHEMT device of millimeter wave, the technique of most critical reduces gate-source parasitic capacitance Cgs exactly, and medium auxiliary process exactly makes it increase, therefore medium auxiliary process is not suitable for and millimeter wave GaNHEMT device. And derive, from the auxiliary grid technique of medium, the folded grid technique and refer to: crossing deep-UV lithography by electron-beam direct writing on epitaxial material obtains little live width figure, evaporates thinner grid metal, and now grid have good stability; Protected by growth medium again, utilize alignment and etching technics that thin grid metallic upper surface is exposed, then double evaporation-cooling grid metal is improved grid height. For folded grid technique, its deficiency is: 1. steaming grid technique for two times and add third photo etching or the electron-beam direct writing technique time etching technics that adds, step complexity brings the raising of technique cost; 2. photoetching or this step of electron-beam direct writing dielectric etch are difficult to ensure alignment, especially for little size grid; 3. folded grid technique dielectric passivation glue is thick, and corresponding stray capacitance can be bigger.
In sum, single T-shape grid or " Y " type grid technique for the millimeter wave GaNHEMT device under high frequency, Shortcomings. So, for millimetric wave device, it is necessary to current grid parasitism is optimized. Developing a kind of technique with little size grid stability and low parasitic capacitance, not only raising high-frequency element performance is had help, simultaneously also to the yield rate of little size grid, reliability has help.

Embodiment
Ginseng Fig. 1, the application discloses a kind of method reducing millimeter wave AlGaN/GaNHEMT grid stray capacitance, on the epitaxial material 105 of described microwave and millimeter wave chip, growth has medium, described medium comprises SiC substrate 101, epi channels, barrier layer 102, source-drain electrode 103 and T-shaped grid 104, and described T-shaped grid 104 adopt electron beam once shaped to prepare.
Ginseng Fig. 2, the method of described reduction millimeter wave AlGaN/GaNHEMT grid stray capacitance comprises the following steps: peel off grid metal, grid structure utilize the good compact medium 202 of isotropy carry out passivation, compact medium 202 thinner thickness of passivation and the compact medium 202 of passivation have very low BOE erosion rate, the BOE erosion rate of the compact medium 202 of passivation is in the deionized water of specific proportioning and BOE etchant solution, erosion rate is less than 10nm/min, the compact medium 202 of passivation can be used as the self-stopping technology layer of BOE solution, thus make corrosive fluid can not erode to grid metal and GaN epitaxy material. the growth of compact medium can be SiN or SiO of high growth temperature2Medium, it is also possible to be the medium such as SiN adopting ICP growth. As high growth temperature SiN medium carry out grid passivation time, growth under the high temperature of 300 DEG C or more, the thickness of growth SiN medium is at about 50nm.
After grid metal-stripping and passivation, growth capacitor dielectric, after grid passivation, capacitor dielectric grows under can adopting the low temperature being less than 200 DEG C, the deionized water of the BOE erosion rate of the medium under low-temperature epitaxy proportioning relatively same as described above and the solution of BOE corrosive fluid proportioning have higher erosion rate, generally can be greater than 100nm/min. Follow-up passive processes needs to prepare electric capacity thus grows capacitor dielectric, and as shown in Figure 3, the medium that low-temperature epitaxy relatively loosens is as capacitor dielectric, and for ensureing higher electric capacity voltage breakdown, it is thicker that capacitor dielectric need to grow.
Grid come out and capacitance structure is protected by glue to adopt photoetching process to make; Utilizing BOE solution to be corroded by capacitor dielectric, the period removes the capacitor dielectric of grid both sides and retains dielectric passivation.
Low temperature porous medium has the specific inductivity basically identical with high temperature compact medium, thus makes the demand that it meets capacitor dielectric. But low temperature porous medium has again very fast BOE erosion rate so that it is be easily removed. As shown in Figure 4, grid come out and capacitance structure is protected by glue to adopt photoetching process to make after growth capacitor dielectric. BOE solution is utilized to corrode. Owing to capacitor dielectric is corroded very soon, dielectric passivation is not easily corroded, therefore only needs the period can not remove the capacitor dielectric of grid both sides and retain dielectric passivation. Just the stability height grid structure that stray capacitance is little simultaneously is obtained, as shown in Figure 5 by the loose capacitor dielectric around corrosion grid.
The preparation technology of this kind of millimeter wave AlGaN/GaNHEMT device disclosed in this invention, different media is done passivation and capacitor dielectric, such that it is able to the stray capacitance of optionally place to go grid both sides, the high temperature SiN medium that the method density is high does grid passivation, the low temperature SiN medium utilizing density low does electric capacity, the capacitor dielectric of the BOE erosion rate difference removal grid both sides done grid passivation and do electric capacity is relied on to reduce grid stray capacitance, and twice medium growth and selective corrosion in the application, grid stray capacitance can be effectively reduced thus improve device high frequency characteristics.
In addition, the specific implementation method and access of the present invention is a lot, and the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. , it is also possible to make some improvements and modifications, it is noted that for those skilled in the art, under the premise without departing from the principles of the invention these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
