Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a wide-swing bidirectional amplitude limiting circuit based on gallium nitride and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the continuous progress of semiconductor technology, silicon-based semiconductor technology has been continuously developed for decades and has become the most mature technology in the current semiconductor technology, but in the field of power semiconductors, silicon-based devices are approaching the theoretical limit, first and second-generation semiconductor materials have been unable to meet the requirements of higher-frequency and higher-power electronic devices, and the research on novel semiconductor material devices is particularly important, electronic devices based on nitride semiconductor materials can meet the requirements, and GaN materials have the advantages of larger forbidden bandwidth, higher critical breakdown electric field, higher electron mobility, higher electron saturation speed, capability of working under higher temperature conditions and the like compared with silicon materials, and have great exploration potential.
The front end of a radar receiver often has a high-sensitivity low-noise amplifier, and the low-noise amplifier is a small-signal linear device, which receives very weak signals, but the whole system must be capable of bearing larger power. In order to protect the devices from being burned, a microwave limiter is usually added to the front end of the receiver. When a small signal is input, the amplitude limiter only presents small loss, and when a large signal is input, the amplitude limiter greatly attenuates the small signal.
The PIN diode is a semiconductor diode which is formed by a three-layer structure, namely a P layer formed by heavily doping a P type material, an N layer formed by heavily doping an N type material, and an I layer formed by a high-resistivity lightly doped intrinsic layer sandwiched between the P layer and the N layer.
At present, GaAs MESFET amplitude limiters, GaAs Schottky barrier amplitude limiters and the like are mainly adopted at home and abroad, and the device is required to have low on-state resistance and low off-state capacitance, can bear the impact of high-power signals, and has the characteristics of small area, superior performance and the like compared with a GaAs MESFET amplitude limiter single-chip circuit.
However, the gallium arsenide second-generation semiconductor material cannot meet the requirements of electronic devices with higher frequency and higher power, and the schottky barrier limiter has insufficient capability of bearing the impact of high-power signals in the same area, so that the defect is obvious.
Therefore, how to meet the requirement that the device can bear the impact of forward and reverse high-power signals is important, and the circuit can be protected.
