Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and particularly relates to a nonpolar InAlN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Because the channel of the GaN-based heterostructure has high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas, GaN becomes the most ideal material for preparing high-performance electronic devices. Since the first proposal by k.han et al of the concept of GaN-based heterostructures, heterostructures represented by AlGaN/GaN, InAlN/GaN, AlN/GaN, etc. have achieved significant research results in the fabrication of high electron mobility transistors. Up to now, the cut-off frequency of a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) based on a conventional AlGaN/GaN heterostructure has broken through 200GHz, and the maximum oscillation frequency has broken through 300 GHz.
Transistor devices based on conventional polar c-plane III-nitride heterostructures are depletion mode devices, i.e., the devices exhibit an on-state at zero bias, requiring an applied bias voltage to reach an off-state. This property not only causes the device to lose power in the non-operating state, but also causes the device to have a safety hazard in power electronic applications. In addition, in a digital circuit system, the realization of various logic functions cannot be completed only by means of depletion devices. Therefore, the fabrication of high performance enhancement mode (normally-off) devices is a hot spot and focus of current GaN-based electronic device research.
At present, technologies for realizing enhancement devices mainly include a p-GaN cap layer structure preparation technology, a recessed gate structure preparation technology, a fluorine ion implantation technology, and the like, but the conventional technologies have serious adverse effects while realizing enhancement.
The p-GaN cap layer preparation technology comprises the following steps: the working principle of the p-GaN cap layer technology is similar to that of a pn junction, and p-type GaN and an n-type AlGaN barrier layer can generate a pn junction electric field to generate depletion effect on two-dimensional electron gas at an AlGaN/GaN heterojunction interface. However, in the p-GaN cap layer structure, the deposition of the cap layer can not only increase the parasitic capacitance of the device, but also weaken the gate control capability of the device; moreover, the growth of p-type GaN has high requirements on doping technology, the difficulty of GaN epitaxy process which is not overcome yet is present, and the process is difficult to control accurately;
the concave grid structure preparation technology comprises the following steps: the concave grid technology is to etch the AlGaN barrier layer, when the thickness is smaller than the critical value, the AlGaN/GaN heterojunction interface can not generate two-dimensional electron gas, at this time, no electron accumulation is under the grid, and the device is in the normally-off state. However, for the recessed gate structure, the too thin barrier layer can cause the depth of a channel potential well to be shallow, so that the confinement property of a carrier is reduced; moreover, the dry etching process can damage the material structure, and the stability and the repeatability of the process are poor, so that the process is not beneficial to large-scale production; in addition, the threshold voltage of the device with the concave gate structure can only reach a level slightly larger than 0V, and higher threshold voltage cannot be obtained.
Fluorine ion implantation technology: the principle of the fluorine ion implantation technology is that fluorine plasma treatment is carried out on an AlGaN barrier layer in a gate region through plasma equipment, partial fluorine ions enter the AlGaN barrier layer to form a negative electric center, and a potential field formed around the negative electric center generates a depletion effect on channel electrons so as to form an enhancement type device. However, the fluorine ion implantation process may cause an increase in trap states and defect damage in the barrier layer, affecting device performance, especially affecting the stability of the device under high temperature conditions; in addition, although the traditional process method can achieve the purpose of depleting current carriers in a channel, polarization charges at the interface of the heterostructure still exist; the prior art shows that when device processes such as gate dielectric deposition are carried out, negative drift of the threshold voltage of the device can be caused by polarization charges, and potential hazards exist in reliability.
In summary, there are many problems in the technology for realizing the enhancement type device at home and abroad, which mainly reflect on the aspects of poor process repeatability, damage to materials and devices caused by the process, influence on the stability of the device caused by the process, and the like, thereby influencing the performance and reliability of the enhancement type device.

Furthermore, the direction of the gate is determined by the relative orientation of the source and the drain, so that when the source and the drain are manufactured, the included angle between the connecting line of the drain and the source and the direction of the c axis is different, and because the gate is positioned between the drain and the source, the included angle between the direction of the gate and the direction of the c axis is different.
In steps S5 to S6, please refer to example two, and finally obtain the nonpolar InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistor with the gate direction perpendicular to the c-axis direction, see fig. 6.
EXAMPLE five
Referring to fig. 2, the non-polar InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistor with the gate direction parallel to the c-axis in fig. 2 includes:
a substrate 101; a non-polar channel layer 102 on the substrate 101; an insertion layer 1021 on the non-polar channel layer 102; a nonpolar barrier layer 103 on the insertion layer 1021; a source 104 within the non-polar channel layer 102 and the non-polar barrier layer 103; a drain 105 located within the non-polar channel layer 102 and the non-polar barrier layer 103; a gate 106 on the non-polar barrier layer 103, the gate 106 oriented parallel to the c-axis; a protective layer 107 covering the nonpolar barrier layer 103, the source electrode 104, the drain electrode 105, and the gate electrode 106; and a metal interconnection layer 108 on the source electrode 104, the drain electrode 105 and the gate electrode 106.
In the nonpolar InAlN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor, the nonpolar channel layer and the nonpolar barrier layer form a nonpolar heterostructure, and the nonpolar heterostructure can modulate spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization, so that the generation of high-density polarization charges in the channel is inhibited, and an enhancement effect is realized.
The transport rate of the current carrier in the nonpolar InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistor along the c-axis direction is higher than that of the current carrier in the polar InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistor, the device performance is better, and the enhancement effect is better.
