Description

High-temperature Hall sensor integrating back vertical type and front horizontal type three-dimensional magnetic field detection functions and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor sensors, and particularly relates to a high-temperature Hall sensor integrating back vertical type and front horizontal type three-dimensional magnetic field detection functions and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Since the hall effect was discovered in the 70 s of the 19 th century, hall sensors based on the hall effect principle have the advantages of good linearity, good dynamic characteristics, high accuracy and the like, and are widely applied to various fields such as aerospace, biomedicine, industrial production and the like. The traditional hall sensor is mainly made of materials such as silicon (Si), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium arsenide (InAs) and indium antimonide (InSb), and although the hall sensor can meet the use requirement at low temperature or ambient temperature, the hall sensor product which can stably work at room temperature to more than 400 ℃ is still needed in the market at present. For example, local measurements of curie temperature of circuitry and ferromagnetic materials in space exploration vehicles, etc. The three-dimensional Hall sensor can detect the magnetic field in any direction of space, and the existing three-dimensional Hall sensor is usually manufactured based on Si materials. The three-dimensional Hall sensor obtained by integrating the horizontal Hall sensor for measuring the vertical magnetic field and the vertical Hall sensor for measuring the horizontal magnetic field has larger size, and has larger cross sensitivity due to the mutual interference between the sensors. The three-dimensional hall sensor can also be obtained by integrating hall sensors for measuring a single magnetic field, but the new application of the three-dimensional hall sensor in some miniature hall sensors is limited due to the large size of the three-dimensional hall sensor.
Compared with the traditional materials such as Si, GaAs and the like, the third generation semiconductor material represented by silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) has the characteristics of large forbidden bandwidth, high critical breakdown electric field, high saturated electron drift velocity and the like, and has good material advantages and wide application prospect in the aspect of preparing high-temperature Hall sensors. Wherein: compared with a Si material, the SiC material has a wide forbidden band (about 3.25eV) and high thermal conductivity (3-5W/(cm K)), a longitudinal electric field generated by high-density polarization charges on the interface of the heterojunction material does not exist, and electrons cannot be bound in a transverse current channel in the longitudinal offset process when the Hall sensor works, so that the SiC material is suitable for manufacturing a vertical Hall sensor at high temperature; potential wells at the heterojunction (typically AlGaN/GaN) interface of GaN materialsIn the presence of a high density of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) induced by polarization charges, a high electron mobility (typically 2000 cm) is maintained in the channel without deliberate doping2The electron mobility of the GaN-based material is higher than that of the bulk material), therefore, the GaN-based material is suitable for manufacturing a horizontal Hall sensor at high temperature, and the traditional three-dimensional Hall sensor is obtained by integrating Hall sensors for measuring a magnetic field in a single direction and has larger size.
The existing hall sensors mainly comprise two types, one type is a single-material hall sensor represented by a Si material, and the other type is a hall sensor based on a heterojunction structure. The Hall sensor made of the silicon-based material has a mature process, can be compatible with an integrated circuit process, and is easy to produce. The Hall sensor based on the InAs, InSb and other heterojunction structures can obtain higher sensitivity due to the fact that the heterojunction interface of the Hall sensor is provided with the two-dimensional electron gas with high mobility. However, because the forbidden band width of the traditional materials is narrow, the physical properties of the traditional materials can be obviously changed under the environment of more than 150 ℃, and the traditional materials cannot stably work at high temperature, so that the application range of the Hall sensor is limited.
At present, a horizontal Hall sensor and a vertical Hall sensor for measuring a single magnetic field are mainly used in the market, a three-dimensional Hall sensor which integrates the horizontal Hall sensor for measuring the surface magnetic field of a vertical device and the vertical Hall sensor for measuring the surface magnetic field of a parallel device in the same plane is designed for detecting the magnetic field in any direction of a space, the size of the finally obtained three-dimensional Hall sensor is large due to the integration of the two Hall sensors, and meanwhile, the cross sensitivity of the three-dimensional Hall sensor is also relatively large due to mutual interference between the sensors. Besides, the three-dimensional Hall sensor can be obtained by integrating three Hall sensors for measuring the magnetic field in a single direction at the X, Y, Z direction. The existing mature products on the market, such as the TLV493D three-dimensional hall sensor, can measure the magnetic field in any direction in space by rotating the vertical hall sensor in the X, Y, Z direction. But are relatively large in size and can only operate stably below 125 c. In any integration mode, the size of the finally obtained device is large, and the new application of the device in micro and nano Hall sensors is limited.
There is a high density of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) induced by polarization charges in a potential well at a GaN heterojunction (typically AlGaN/GaN) interface, a longitudinal electric field exists in a direction perpendicular to a channel, electrons in the channel are confined therein, although there is no influence on the horizontal type hall sensor, so that current and voltage sensed by the vertical type hall sensor are reduced, and sensor sensitivity is lowered.

Detailed Description
The high-temperature hall sensor integrating the back vertical type and the front horizontal type three-dimensional magnetic field detection functions and the manufacturing method thereof will be further described with reference to fig. 1 to 7.
Example 1
The invention provides a technical scheme of a complete wide bandgap material three-dimensional Hall sensor which integrates a back SiC vertical Hall sensor and a front GaN heterojunction horizontal Hall sensor and is suitable for a high-temperature working environment. As shown in the upper diagram of fig. 1, the front structure of the device structure is schematically illustrated. The GaN heterojunction structure is used for manufacturing a cross horizontal Hall sensor and sensing a magnetic field vertical to the surface of the device. The electrodes C3 and C4 are signal input ends, current or voltage can be input, and the potential difference is measured between the electrodes S3 and S4. It is also possible to input a current or a voltage between the electrodes S3, S4 as signal inputs and measure the potential difference between the electrodes C3, C4. The GaN heterojunction structure effectively enlarges the temperature range of stable work of the sensor, and increases the sensitivity of the sensor. As shown in the lower diagram of fig. 1, the structure of the back side of the device structure is schematically illustrated. Substrates of SiC materials are used to make vertical hall sensors for sensing magnetic fields parallel to the surface of the device. The electrode C0 is a signal input end, current or voltage is input, and the electrodes C1, C2, C1 'and C2' are grounded as a common end. If a magnetic field parallel to the y direction exists, the currents of the electrodes C0 → C1 and C0 → C2 are perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, moving carriers are deflected under the action of Lorentz force, and potential differences, namely Hall voltages, are sensed on two sides of the electrodes S1 and S2, so that the aim of measuring the magnetic field is fulfilled. Similarly, if there is a magnetic field parallel to the x-direction, the current of the electrode C0 → C1 ', C0 → C2' is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, and a potential difference is sensed on both sides of the electrodes S1 'and S2', so that the magnitude of the magnetic field in the x-direction can be measured. It is also possible to connect the electrode C0 to ground, and to input current or voltage to the electrodes C1, C2 and C1 ', C2', and to measure the potential difference at S1, S2 and S1 ', S2'. Because the SiC material does not contain two-dimensional electron gas, electrons in the bulk material are less restrained by a longitudinal electric field, so that the sensitivity of the vertical Hall sensor is improved; meanwhile, the SiC material has a large forbidden band width and has the characteristic of stable operation at high temperature.
The structural schematic diagram of the technical scheme of the invention is shown in fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram of the device with AA' in fig. 1 as a tangent. The substrate is made of SiC materials, a buffer layer and an AlGaN/GaN heterojunction structure are epitaxially grown on the substrate, wherein the buffer layer can be AlN or GaN (the thickness is 10-100 nm), the GaN is an epitaxial layer (the thickness is 0.1-50 mu m), an AlGaN barrier layer (5-100 nm) is arranged on the epitaxial layer, and the material components in the barrier layer are not limited. The electrodes C1 and C2 are symmetric with respect to the center of C0, the sensing electrodes S1 and S2 are symmetric with respect to the center of C0, the electrodes C3 and C4 are symmetric, and the shape of the electrodes is not particularly limited and may be rectangular trapezoid, etc. The electrodes need to form a good ohmic contact with the semiconductor material.
