Technical field
The invention belongs to microelectronics technology, it is related to semiconductor devices, is based particularly on the gallium nitride base of suspension superjunction Hetero-junctions current apertures device, available for power electronic system.
Technical background
Power semiconductor is the core parts of Power Electronic Technique, with becoming increasingly conspicuous for the energy and environmental problem, Research and develop novel high-performance, low-loss power device just turn into improve utilization rate of electrical, save the energy, alleviating energy crisis it is effective One of approach.And serious restricting relation is there is in power device research, between high speed, high pressure and low on-resistance, close It is the key for improving device overall performance to manage, effectively improve this restricting relation.With the development of microelectric technique, tradition the The theoretical limit that generation Si semiconductors and second generation GaAs semiconductor power devices performance have been determined in itself close to its material.In order to Chip area can be further reduced, working frequency is improved, improves operating temperature, reduction conducting resistance, improves breakdown voltage, reduction Machine volume, overall efficiency is improved, using GaN as the semiconductor material with wide forbidden band of representative, by its bigger energy gap, higher Critical breakdown electric field and Geng Gao electronics saturation drift velocity, and the protrusion such as stable chemical performance, high temperature resistant, radioresistance is excellent Point, shows one's talent in terms of high performance power device is prepared, and application potential is huge.Especially with GaN base heterojunction structure Horizontal HEMT, i.e., horizontal GaN base high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) device, is even more because of its low electric conduction The characteristics such as resistance, high-breakdown-voltage, senior engineer's working frequency, become the focus studied and applied both at home and abroad, focus.
However, in horizontal GaN base HEMT device, in order to obtain higher breakdown voltage, it is necessary to increase grid leak spacing, this Device size and conducting resistance can be increased, reduce effective current density and chip performance on unit chip area, so as to cause The increase of chip area and development cost.In addition, in horizontal GaN base HEMT device, as caused by high electric field and surface state Current collapse problem is more serious, although currently existing numerous braking measures, current collapse problem is not obtained still thoroughly Solve.In order to solve the above problems, researchers propose vertical-type GaN base current apertures heterojunction transistor, are also a kind of Gallium nitride radical heterojunction current apertures device, referring to AlGaN/GaN current aperture vertical electron transistors,IEEE Device Research Conference,pp.31-32,2002.GaN base current apertures hetero-junctions Transistor can improve breakdown voltage by increasing drift layer thickness, it is to avoid the problem of sacrifice device size and conducting resistance, because This can realize high power density chip.And in GaN base current apertures heterojunction transistor, high electric field region, which is located at, partly leads In body material bodies, this can thoroughly eliminate current collapse problem.2004, after Ilan Ben-Yaacov et al. are using etching MOCVD regrowth trench technologies develop AlGaN/GaN current apertures heterojunction transistors, and the device does not use passivation layer, most Big output current is 750mA/mm, and mutual conductance is 120mS/mm, and two ends grid breakdown voltage is 65V, and current collapse effect is shown Write and suppress, referring to AlGaN/GaN current aperture vertical electron transistors with regrown channels,Journal of Applied Physics,Vol.95,No.4,pp.2073-2078,2004。 2012, Srabanti Chowdhury et al. utilized Mg ion implanting current barrier layer combination plasma asistance MBE regrowths The technology of AlGaN/GaN hetero-junctions, develops the current apertures heterojunction transistor based on GaN substrate, the device is using 3 μm of drifts Layer is moved, maximum output current is 4kAcm-2, conducting resistance is 2.2m Ω cm2, breakdown voltage is 250V, and suppression electric current collapses Effect of collapsing is good, referring to CAVET on Bulk GaN Substrates Achieved With MBE-Regrown AlGaN/GaN Layers to Suppress Dispersion,IEEE Electron Device Letters,Vol.33,No.1,pp.41- 43,2012.The same year, a kind of enhanced GaN base current apertures heterojunction transistor proposed by Masahiro Sugimoto et al.

By the theory and experimental study of more than ten years, researchers have found, above-mentioned traditional heterogeneous crystallization of GaN base current apertures There is inherent shortcoming on body tubular construction, electric-field intensity distribution in device can be caused extremely uneven, especially current barrier layer with There is high peak electric field in the semi-conducting material of aperture area interface close beneath, so as to cause device premature breakdown. This to be difficult to realize by increasing the thickness of N-shaped GaN drift layer come the breakdown voltage of constantly improve device in actual process.Cause This, the breakdown voltage of traditional structure GaN base current apertures heterojunction transistor is not universal high.In order to obtain higher device breakdown Voltage, it is possible to by increasing the thickness of N-shaped GaN drift layer come the breakdown voltage of constantly improve device, Zhongda in 2013 Li et al. have studied a kind of enhanced GaN base current apertures heterojunction transistor based on superjunction using technology of numerical simulation, grind Study carefully result and show the Electric Field Distribution that super-junction structure can be effectively inside modulation device, device inside electric field everywhere when making to be in OFF state Intensity tends to be uniformly distributed, therefore device electric breakdown strength is up to 5~20kV, and when using 3 μm of attached columns wide breakdown voltage for 12.4kV, and conducting resistance is only 4.2m Ω cm2, referring to Design and Simulation of 5-20-kV GaN Enhancement-Mode Vertical Superjunction HEMT,IEEE Transactions on Electron Decices,Vol.60,No.10,pp.3230-3237,2013.Using superjunction GaN base current apertures heterojunction transistor from High-breakdown-voltage can be obtained in theory, and can realize that breakdown voltage is constantly improve with the increase of N-shaped GaN drift layer thickness, It is to have reported a kind of very effective high power device structure of breakdown voltage highest in document both at home and abroad at present.
With the extension of application field, in many technology necks such as electric automobile, S power-like amplifiers, power management system In domain, in order to effectively realize power conversion and control, in the urgent need to the high performance power device with two-way blocking-up ability, i.e., Device will not only have very strong forward blocking ability, i.e. forward break down voltage, also have very strong reverse blocking capability simultaneously, Namely wish that device has very high negative drain breakdown voltage, i.e. breakdown reverse voltage under OFF state.And existing tradition GaN base current apertures heterojunction transistor uses ohmic drain, when device drain applies low-down backward voltage, device In current barrier layer will fail, form very big drain-source leakage current, and with the increase of drain electrode backward voltage, device Grid positive can also be opened, and by very big gate current, ultimately result in component failure.Therefore, existing traditional GaN base current aperture Footpath heterojunction transistor can not realize reverse blocking function.
