On the one hand, the method that the depth of 103 inner groovy junction termination structures 106 of Traditional control barrier layer can use etching, For nitride-based semiconductor, the wet-etching technology of mature and feasible there is no at present, generally use dry etching nitride-based semiconductor, Such as inductively coupled plasma (Induction Coupling Plasma, ICP) etches and reactive ion (Reactive Ion Etching, RIE) dry etch process such as etching, but the reaction condition of dry etch process is complicated, etch rate by The current strength of application, cavity air pressure, the influence of etching gas concentration distribution, it is difficult to guarantee etch rate in whole wafer Homogeneity distribution.Groove junction termination structures 106 are formed according to dry etch process such as ICP or RIE, are controlled by etch period The depth of groove junction termination structures 106 processed can then cause the phenomenon of etching depth unevenness, i.e. groove knot terminal in whole wafer Thickness being unevenly distributed in wafer of 106 bottom residue barrier layer of structure, and the thickness of remaining barrier layer is to gate edge Direct influence is distributed in electric field, and the distribution that will cause the breakdown voltage in whole wafer is inconsistent, the property of semiconductor devices Can not have homogeneity.
On the other hand, the thickness of remaining barrier layer is also related to the thickness of former barrier layer under groove, since barrier layer 103 is It is deposited after nucleating layer, buffer layer and channel layer 102, the difference of each thickness degree can amplify in this layer, due to 101 temperature of substrate Fluctuation is spent, it is also uneven distribution in whole wafer that growth atmosphere variation etc., which causes the variation of 103 thickness of barrier layer, this Even if the etch rate for having resulted in controlling everywhere in wafer is consistent, due to the uneven thickness of former barrier layer, wafer will also result in Inside the thickness of 106 bottom residue barrier layer of groove junction termination structures is inconsistent everywhere, therefore presents so as to cause electric field strength The distribution of differentiation out, the distribution that will cause the breakdown voltage in whole wafer is inconsistent, and the performance of semiconductor devices does not have Homogeneity.
It referring specifically to Fig. 3 a and Fig. 3 b, Fig. 3 a is formed at different location on a kind of wafer of the offer of the embodiment of the present invention one The structural schematic diagram of five semiconductor devices, Fig. 3 b are the offers of the embodiment of the present invention one using described in the embodiment of the present invention one The profiles versus of the breakdown voltage of semiconductor devices and semiconductor devices in the prior art schemes, as shown in Figure 3a and Figure 3b shows, Five semiconductor devices of A, B, C, D, E are formd at the different location of wafer, the semiconductor provided using the embodiment of the present invention one Five semiconductor devices of A, B, C, D, E of device, breakdown voltage distribution is relatively uniform, the breakdown potential being unable between semiconductor devices Pressure difference very little, and semiconductor devices in the prior art is used, the breakdown voltage difference between different components is far longer than The semiconductor devices that the embodiment of the present invention one provides, semiconductor devices provided in an embodiment of the present invention, it is ensured that be located at wafer Semiconductor devices breakdown voltage distribution at different location is uniform.
Semiconductor device structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention then can be avoided it is above-mentioned because etch rate it is unstable or Semiconductor devices electric property caused by person's barrier layer 103 is in uneven thickness is uneven, multiple semiconductor devices exist in wafer The technical issues of breakdown voltage electrical characteristics difference.In semiconductor device structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention, in barrier layer 103 Etching forms groove structure 104, and the bottom of groove structure 104 ends in the interface of barrier layer 103 Yu channel layer 102, because of gesture It builds 103 and uses different materials from channel layer 102, etch rate selection is easily controlled groove structure 104 than different The depth of etching terminates at the interface of barrier layer 103 Yu channel layer 102, and the 2DEG under groove structure 104 is complete at this time Exhaust, groove structure 104 etch after the completion of by the method for regrowth, form re-growth layer 105, groove structure 104 and be located at Groove junction termination structures 106 are constituted in grown layer 105 on groove structure 104,105 growth thickness of re-growth layer divides in wafer Cloth is uniform, and thickness can be controlled accurately.With filling of the re-growth layer 105 in groove structure 104, the depth of groove is gradually Become smaller, can control the thickness of re-growth layer 105, so that the distribution of gate edge electric field can be adjusted.The semiconductor device For the structure of part not by barrier layer thickness difference everywhere in wafer, crystalline substance is can be obtained in the inconsistent influence of etch rate everywhere in wafer Groove junction termination structures 106 are to the consistent semiconductor devices of 2DEG regulating power everywhere in circle, thus in wafer at different location Semiconductor devices there is similar electric field adjusting ability, electrical property is obtained in wafer, and especially breakdown characteristics are uniform partly leads Body device.
