With the development of high frequency wireless telecommunications industry, the construction of 5G network infrastructures, anti-ballistic radar and other are special Field requires that this makes market using the high performance radio-frequency devices of high power density, high frequency, high temperature resistant, adverse environment resistant It constantly heats up for the demand of GaN device.For example, inside present wireless base station, have begun to replace Si bases using GaN device Radio-frequency devices, in base station equipment, the use of GaN device is more and more extensive.Compared with Si or GaAs devices, GaN has forbidden band The wide, advantages such as critical breakdown electric field is high, electron saturation velocities are high, thermal conductivity is high, Radiation hardness is strong, be very suitable for using 5G or Following communication system, power is bigger, frequency is higher, and GaN advantages are more apparent.
In the heterogeneous device of compound semiconductor, the size of channel resistance directly affects the output current of device and electronics moves Shifting rate, and then the frequency characteristic of device is influenced, and the effect of parasitic capacitance device between the gate-source of device, gate-drain is in ON state/pass Charge/discharge rates during state, and then influence the switching speed of device.However in the related process for improving device frequency characteristic In technology, it is the main method for improving device frequency characteristic to reduce device grid length and use different grid metal patterns.Grid length subtracts The small reduction for meaning gate resistance, different grid metal patterns can reduce parasitic capacitance, and the combination of the two makes the frequency of device Characteristic significantly improves.But electron beam lithography is mainly used in terms of reducing grid length at present, due to its inefficiency, no It is suitble to the batch production of device.
As shown in Figure 1, in the prior art by electron beam lithography and dry etching technology realization T-type grid, but by In dry etching can to grid under GaN material bring damage, influence the reliability of device.Simultaneously as the introducing of interfacial state, makes Device threshold voltage during device use due to being influenced by grid voltage stress, threshold voltage can occur partially at any time It moves.It passes through partial etching Si3N4Realize T-type grid, but etching can cause etching homogeneity, repeatability and etching injury etc. to be asked Topic.Due to the introducing of interfacial state so that the threshold voltage of device during device use due to being influenced by grid voltage stress, Threshold voltage can shift at any time.Interfacial state can impact the electron mobility under grid simultaneously, make mobility under grid Significantly decline, seriously affect device performance, industrial quarters also avoids lithographic method as possible.
In order to obtain smaller grid length and higher frequency characteristic, generally use electron beam lithography, electron beam Although exposure technique may be implemented tens nanometers of grid length techniques, but due to be in exposure process by beam spot surface by Spot scan needs on the pixel of each figure to stop the regular hour, and which has limited the speed of graph exposure.Electron beam light The bottleneck being engraved in production capacity makes it generally be only used as a kind of ancillary technique in microelectronics industry and exist, and is mainly used in small The preparation and research and development of batch device.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention (is not limited to that reaction using the equipment that can generate hydrogen (H) plasma The equipment such as ion etching (ICP, RIE));Utilize electronic device of the processing based on AlGaN/GaN two-dimensional electron gas at H plasmas The region grid (gate) other than P-GaN;In H plasma treatment procedures, H plasmas can longitudinally, laterally be spread, H The plasma treated regions P-GaN can be passivated to form high resistant gallium nitride (HR-GaN), and then under the regions HR-GaN AlGaN/GaN two-dimensional electron gas is not exhausted by P-GaN;It is the photoresist of 10nm~1 μm with line width in device processes Or SiO2Or SiNx carries out H corona treatments as mask, the region P-GaN for being masked blocking is still remained.Removal Mask carries out alignment process, then forms grid metal on P-GaN, material is thus formed with sub-micron, nanoscale P- GaN is grid length, and grid metal is the gate metal of the T-type pattern of cap layers, this grid cover can be multilayer, gradually broaden, in this way can be with Further decrease the resistance and capacitance of grid.Method provided by the invention greatly simplifies work relative to other T-type grid techniques Skill flow also reduces the alignment process difficulty of nanoscale T-type grid, any T-type grid technique different from the past.
Use Mg as dopant when MOCVD or MEB carries out P-GaN material epitaxies, and H and Mg forms complex compound, makes Mg, which cannot be formed, is effectively formed doping (being at this time HR-GaN), and then influences P-GaN hole concentrations.Generally epi dopant Mg's Annealing process is carried out after GaN, H is made to overflow, and Mg activates to form P-GaN.So H is in P-GaN and HR-GaN is mutually converted Particularly important role being play, with the P-GaN after H corona treatments Mg activation so that Mg is not re-used as Effective Doping, and two Person is reversible.
The embodiment of the present invention by p-type grid realize it is enhanced, region under device gate need not be performed etching, avoid because The problems such as uniformity, repeatability and damage that etching technics introduces, while without using electron beam lithography, can effectively solve Certainly under low production efficiency the problems such as.Postscript, the HR-GaN (high resistant gallium nitride) used in device of the embodiment of the present invention can be used as T The supporting layer of type grid metal reduces technology difficulty, and the reduction of p-GaN length can reduce gate resistance, improve the frequency of device Characteristic, and,
The parasitic capacitance that device can also be reduced using T-type grid metal improves the frequency characteristic of device.The embodiment of the present invention Enhanced HEMT can be applicable to RF application.
It should be appreciated that the technical concepts and features of above-described embodiment only to illustrate the invention, its object is to allow be familiar with this The personage of item technology cans understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and it is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.It is all According to equivalent change or modification made by spirit of the invention, should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
