Description

Groove gate enhanced MISHEMT device and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field effect transistors, in particular to a groove gate enhanced MISHEMT device and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Compared with the traditional first-generation semiconductor Ge and Si and second-generation semiconductor materials GaAs, InP and other materials, the GaN-based semiconductor has the excellent characteristics of large forbidden bandwidth, high breakdown electric field, high electronic saturation migration speed, easy formation of heterostructure, strong spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization effect, strong radiation resistance, good chemical property stability and the like. GaN can form a heterojunction with nitride semiconductor materials such as AlGaN and InAlN, and during epitaxial growth, band step discontinuity and spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization at the heterojunction interface can generate high-concentration two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the heterojunction interface. The output power density of the GaN-based power device is 10 times that of the GaAs-based power device, and the output power of the GaN-based power device can be larger under the same size, so that the weight of the device is obviously reduced, the number of system components is reduced, and the reliability of the system is improved. Meanwhile, the GaN-based device has higher working voltage and can work at 42V. The operating frequency of GaN-based power devices may cover a frequency range of 1 to 100 GHz. Therefore, the GaN material is particularly suitable for preparing a new-generation high-performance microwave power HEMT device with high temperature, high frequency, high power and radiation resistance and a high-voltage low-loss HEMT electronic power device, and has wide and special application prospect.
Because the AlGaN/GaN heterojunction has extremely strong polarization effect and can generate a high-concentration two-dimensional electron gas conducting channel at a heterointerface, the traditional AlGaN/GaN HEMT device belongs to a normally open device, and the threshold voltage of the device is a negative value. However, in the circuit application process of the normally-on device, the device is turned off only by applying negative voltage to the gate of the device, which not only increases the extra power consumption of the system, but also is susceptible to noise signals in the circuit to cause the problem of false opening, so that the safety of the system is reduced. Therefore, the research on the enhanced AlGaN/GaN HEMT with high performance is of great significance.
At present, the implementation method of the enhanced GaN HEMT device includes: p-type gate, F ion implantation, recessed gate trench, thin barrier layer, etc. The threshold voltage of a device obtained by adding a p-type gate and the range of the borne gate voltage are small, so that the problem is brought to the packaging of a transistor; although the F ion implantation process is simple, the problems of unstable threshold voltage, poor reliability and the like exist; the barrier layer is thinned to achieve the enhancement purpose at the cost of sacrificing the two-dimensional electron gas concentration of all areas, and the performance of the device is reduced. The concave gate groove technology only etches the barrier layer under the gate to a certain depth, so that the barrier layer under the gate becomes thinner, the two-dimensional electron gas concentration is reduced, and the purpose of enhancement is achieved. Therefore, the enhancement type GaN HEMT device realized by using the groove grid structure is widely applied.
In the etching process of the gate trench, in order to control the gate leakage, a layer of dielectric is usually deposited to form a metal-dielectric-semiconductor (MIS) structure after the trench is etched. Therefore, the condition of grid leakage of the concave grid groove AlGaN/GaN HEMT device is improved, and the swing of grid voltage can be increased.
When the groove gate is manufactured, in order to ensure that the two-dimensional electron gas under the gate is exhausted, the etching depth is increased. However, the AlGaN/GaN HEMT has a multi-layer epitaxial structure and the materials of each layerDifferent materials and different etching rates are adopted, the depth of the concave gate groove is difficult to control through etching time, the process is difficult to control, great damage is brought to devices, and the threshold voltage V is causedthThe leakage current of the device is increased, and the like. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new structure to solve the above problems.

The groove gate enhanced type MISHEMT device (shown in figure 1) is compared with the traditional AlGaN/GaNMISHEMT device (shown in figure 2) and the AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN MISHEMT device (shown in figure 3) only comprising a back barrier layer in two aspects of threshold voltage and saturation output current, and the result is shown in figure 4; the results of fig. 4 show that the new trench-gate enhancement mode MISHEMT device with dual modulation layers is the largest in threshold voltage compared to the other two and that the saturation current density is much improved compared to AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN MISHEMTs with only back barrier layer.
Due to the introduction of the double heterojunction, the device can meet the requirement of threshold voltage without etching to a larger depth, so that the problem of unstable damage to the device in the etching process is reduced, and the voltage resistance of the device is improved; aiming at the problem of current density reduction caused by the introduction of double heterojunction, the method of adding the AlGaN modulation layer is adopted, and the saturation current density of the device is remarkably increased.
The principle that the threshold voltage and the breakdown voltage of the groove gate enhanced MISHEMT device are improved is as follows:
when the Al content of the first AlGaN modulation layer 7 is smaller than that of the AlGaN barrier layer 6, the interface between the first AlGaN modulation layer 7 and the AlGaN barrier layer 6 becomes a hole channel by a fermi potential higher than the valence band, and finally a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) is formed. The presence of the 2DHG may deplete the 2DEG at the interface between the first AlGaN modulation layer 7 and the AlGaN barrier layer 6.
The AlGaN barrier layer 6, the GaN channel layer 5, and the AlGaN back barrier layer 4 form a second double heterojunction, and the AlGaN back barrier layer 4 causes the GaN channel layer to be in a compressive strain state, so that the lattice constant of GaN is increased. So that the difference in lattice constant between the AlGaN barrier layer 6 and the GaN channel layer 5 becomes small, and the polarization charge density between them due to piezoelectric polarization decreases; meanwhile, due to the existence of the AlGaN back barrier layer 4, negative charges exist between the AlGaN barrier layer 6 and the GaN channel layer 5, and the AlGaN back barrier layer has a certain depletion effect on the two-dimensional electron gas, so that a conduction band of the GaN channel layer 5 is pulled high, the depth of a potential barrier is reduced, and the concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas is reduced.
Due to the reduction of the concentration of two-dimensional electron gas, the groove gate enhanced MISHEMT device with the double heterostructure can achieve enhancement of the device only by etching with a small depth, and the threshold voltage is increased. Meanwhile, the reduction of the concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas enables the buffer leakage current of the device in an off state to be very small, the device is not easy to break down, and the voltage resistance is improved. When the voltage between the drain and the source of the device is larger, the threshold voltage of the device has small change, so that the device can work more stably. And because the two-dimensional electron gas is limited in the quantum well, the 2DEG is not easy to overflow and become bulk electrons, so that the mobility of the device is increased, and the device has larger transconductance.
The concentration of channel two-dimensional electron gas is reduced by the two double-heterojunction structures, so that enhancement can be realized by etching at a lower depth when a groove gate enhancement transistor is manufactured, the process is easier to control, and damage to devices is less. The double-heterojunction device has the advantages of strong pressure resistance, high stability, high mobility and the like, and the performance of the device can be greatly improved by connecting the concave gate groove structure with the double-heterojunction structure.
The principle that the saturation current density of the groove gate enhanced MISHEMT device is improved is as follows:
compared with a single heterojunction device, the groove gate enhanced MISHEMT device with the double heterojunction has smaller two-dimensional electron gas concentration, so that the saturation current density of the device is reduced. To solve this problem, a second AlGaN modulation layer 8 having a larger Al content is introduced on the first AlGaN modulation layer 7. As the Al content increases, the spontaneous polarization and the piezoelectric polarization become larger, so that the concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas increases, and accordingly the saturation current concentration also increases.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
and the threshold voltage is increased, a double-heterojunction structure is introduced into the concave gate groove structure, and the double-heterojunction structure has smaller two-dimensional electron gas, so that the enhancement of the device can be realized only by etching with smaller depth, and the threshold voltage is increased.
The breakdown voltage is improved, and in a double heterojunction structure consisting of the first AlGaN modulation layer 7, the second AlGaN barrier layer 6 and the GaN channel layer 5, the concentration of two-dimensional electron gas is reduced due to the generation of two-dimensional hole gas; the double heterojunction structure composed of the AlGaN barrier layer 6, the GaN channel layer 5 and the AlGaN back barrier layer 4 enables two-dimensional electron gas to be limited in a quantum well due to the existence of the AlGaN back barrier. The reduction of the two-dimensional electron gas enables the buffer current of the device in an off state to be smaller and the breakdown voltage to be increased.
And thirdly, the saturation current density is increased, the content of Al in the second AlGaN modulation layer 8 is relatively high, so that the difference value between the lattice constant of the second AlGaN modulation layer 8 and the GaN barrier layer is increased, the piezoelectric polarization charge density generated by the second AlGaN modulation layer and the GaN barrier layer is increased, the concentration of two-dimensional electron gas is increased, and the saturation current density of the device is increased.
The above-mentioned embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and any other modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the technical spirit of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
