Description

A kind of wet etching method of InGaP
Technical field
The present invention relates to semiconductor manufacturing industry technical field more particularly to a kind of wet etching methods of InGaP.
Background technique
GaAs is the semiconductor material that most important, purposes is most wide in group Ⅲ-Ⅴ compound semiconductor.Electronics in GaAs moves Shifting rate is 6 times of electron mobility in silicon (Si), and electronics peak shift speed is 2 times of Si.Therefore GaAs device has height Frequently, high speed, low-power consumption, noise it is small, can single-chip integration the characteristics of.
Smart phone, base station largely use GaAs HBT device, have the following advantages that (source doctoral thesis: InGaP/ The research of GaAs HBT Microwave device and VCO circuit):
1. single positive supply work.Unlike the FET and HEMT device of depletion type, to make its channel pinch off that must just add one A negative voltage.The cut-in voltage of HBT is all positive, it is only necessary to a positive supply job, it is possible thereby to simplify circuit design.
2. power density is high.When frequency is less high, power added efficiency (PAE) is also larger.
3. breakdown voltage is high.The forbidden bandwidth of HBT collecting zone material is big, by designing the thickness of collecting zone and adulterating dense Available high breakdown voltage is spent, to increase output power.Also, determine that the collector junction (BC knot) of HBT breakdown voltage is anti- It is mainly determined to breakdown voltage by epitaxial material parameter, not vulnerable to the influence of technical process.
4. Early effect (the wide change effect in base area) and Kirk effect (effective base region expansion effect) are small, therefore have preferably The linearity.
5. lower to the requirement of photoetching when HBT element manufacturing, general features is having a size of 1 μm ~ 2 μm.Due to the key of HBT Size base area thickness is determined by epitaxy layer thickness, avoids the difficulty of FET and HEMT sub-micron photoetching, to improve device Uniformity and yield rate.
Currently, InGaP/GaAs becomes the mainstream of GaAs system HBT.Compared with traditional AIGaAs/GaAs HBT, InGaP/ GaAs HBT mainly has following advantage:
1. In0.49Ga0.51P and GaAS Lattice Matching, forbidden bandwidth reaches 1.91eV at room temperature, and breakdown voltage is larger, from And be conducive to microwave power application.
2. InGaP is free of Al and related defects, there are lower surface recombination rate, less deep energy level complex centre, make device The stability and better reliability of part.
3. being easier to realize selective corrosion between InGaP and GaAs, device preparation technology is more stable and easily-controllable.
Since GaAs HBT is vertical structure device, wet corrosion technique is the critical process of entire device.It is true On, InGaP chemical property is stablized, in IC industry in common soda acid, generally using concentrated hydrochloric acid+phosphoric acid for etching InGaP, concentrated hydrochloric acid: phosphoric acid ratio is 3:2 ~ 10:1, but since etch rate is too fast, generally in 100/s or more.Generally exist In HBT device, InGaP is with a thickness of 50 ~ 5000.
For HBT technique, the etching of InGaP usually etches it in preceding road technique such as GaAs etching, SiN protective layer Afterwards, since GaAs generally uses wet etching, and SiN generally uses the dry etching methods such as reactive ion beam etching (RIBE) (RIE), adds The upper surface GaAs is easy to produce As/Ga oxide, influences InGaP etch rate, when serious etch rate be reduced to 10/s with Under.
Summary of the invention
