Description

一种高压AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件及其制备方法
技术领域
本发明涉及半导体领域AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件,特别涉及一种高压AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件及其制备方法。
背景技术
GaN材料因具有高电子迁移率、低导通电阻、优异的散热能力以及高击穿等特性,广泛应用于高频功率放大器与高压功率开关等场合。特别是GaN高压器件,对于新能源汽车、轨道交通以及风力发电等重要应用领域显得尤为重要。目前大量的研究表明,器件的击穿短板往往在靠近漏极一侧的栅极边缘,在该处存在一个较高的电场峰值,容易导致器件提前击穿;同时高温退火后的源漏电极表面比较粗糙,也容易在边缘引入电场尖峰(W.Zhang, et al, IEEE J. Electron Devices Soc., 2018,6(99))。
针对优化器件的击穿电压方面,主要包括场板技术、优化源漏电极结构和退火后形貌、优化钝化层及栅介质工艺以及生长高阻缓冲层等。这些方法都能有效地优化器件的击穿特性。P-GaN层在GaN基电子器件中一般是作为制备常闭型器件的一种方式。p-GaN层能够拉伸下方AlGaN势垒层的能带从而对异质结界面处的二维电子气起到耗尽作用,从而实现常闭型HEMT器件(L. Efthymiou, et al, IEEE Electron Device Lett., 2019,40(08))。有学者(Yue Hao, et al, Phys. Status Solidi Appl. Mater. Sci., 2020,1900793)提出在栅极右侧对AlGaN势垒层进行p型掺杂以削弱栅极边缘的电场峰值,通过优化p型掺杂的密度和掺杂区域的尺寸,在器件(AlGaN沟道)中获得了2199V的击穿电压。
综上所述,引入p-GaN层有助于改变该层下方的2DEG密度,从而起到调节电场,提高器件击穿电压的作用。现有技术对AlGaN势垒层进行p型掺杂的工艺复杂且成本高;本发明基于传统的p-GaN层技术,提出了同时具有p-GaN层和栅场板结构的器件来实现高压性能,其中p-GaN层的刻蚀采用比较成熟的氧化湿法腐蚀方法;无需额外的步骤即可同时实现上述结构,工艺简单,重复性好。
发明内容
为了解决现有技术存在的问题,本发明提出了一种新的结构来实现高压HEMT器件。该器件利用栅极两侧的p-GaN层可以拉伸下方的AlGaN势垒层的能带,从而影响栅极边缘的电场分布,结合T型栅场板的作用,降低了靠近漏极侧栅极边缘的电场峰值,提高了器件的击穿电压;此外,通过优化p-GaN的厚度及掺杂浓度可以调节电场分布,并且不影响器件的直流特性。
本发明的目的至少通过如下技术方案之一实现的。
本发明提供的一种高压AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件,包括AlGaN/GaN外延、p-GaN层、源漏电极及栅电极;所述AlGaN/GaN外延上表面的两端连接源漏电极;所述p-GaN层与AlGaN/GaN外延上表面连接;所述p-GaN层由中心向两侧进行开槽,并在开槽处设置栅电极,形成T型栅。
进一步地,所述p-GaN层到源极的距离小于p-GaN层到漏极的距离,即在所述源漏电极靠近源极侧设置p-GaN层。
进一步地,所述p-GaN层的厚度为10-30nm,以保证p-GaN层下方的沟道导通。
进一步地,所述p-GaN层长度为5-7μm,所述p-GaN层的宽度为50-200μm。
进一步地,所述p-GaN层的Mg掺杂浓度为3×1015 cm-3 - 3×1019 cm-3
进一步地,所述栅电极的栅长为为1-3μm。
进一步地,所述栅电极两侧均有栅场板,所述栅场板向p-GaN层两侧延伸,且位于p-GaN层之上。
本发明提供一种制备所述的高压AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件的方法,包括如下步骤:
(1)在AlGaN/GaN外延上沉积一层p-GaN层;
(2)定义p-GaN层光刻窗口,并进行p-GaN层的刻蚀;
(3)定义源漏电极光刻窗口,制备源漏电极并进行退火形成欧姆接触;
(4)定义栅电极光刻窗口,进行p-GaN层的刻蚀并制备T型栅电极,得到所述高压AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件。
进一步地,步骤(1)所述p-GaN层是由金属有机化合物化学气相沉淀(MOCVD)或分子束外延(MBE)制备得到的。
和现有技术相比,本发明具有以下有益效果和优点:
本发明提供的高压AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件是同时具有p-GaN层和栅场板结构的器件,具有高压性能;无需额外的步骤即可同时实现上述结构,工艺简单,重复性好;采用上述结构有效地调制了电场,降低了此处的电场峰值,有效地将击穿电压从610V提高到了1252V。

具体实施方式
以下结合实例对本发明的具体实施作进一步说明,但本发明的实施和保护不限于此。需指出的是,以下若有未特别详细说明之过程,均是本领域技术人员可参照现有技术实现或理解的。
实施例
本实施例提供了一种高压AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件,其结构示意图如图4所示,所述器件包括AlGaN/GaN外延1,AlGaN/GaN外延上表面的两端分别连接源漏电极3,所述源漏电极靠近源极侧设置p-GaN层2,在所述p-GaN层正中间进行开槽,并在开槽处设置栅电极4,形成T型栅。
本实施例还提供了一种制备高压AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件的方法,包括以下步骤:
(1)在AlGaN/GaN1外延上沉积一层p-GaN层2,其厚度为30nm,掺杂浓度为3×1016 cm-3,如图1所示;
(2)定义p-GaN层光刻窗口,并进行p-GaN层的刻蚀,p-GaN正中间刻蚀的宽度为3μm,p-GaN层长度为7μm,宽度为200μm,如图2所示;
(3)定义源漏电极光刻窗口,制备源漏电极3并进行退火形成欧姆接触,如图3所示;
(4)定义栅电极光刻窗口,制备T型栅电极4,栅长为3μm,如图4所示,得到所述高压AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件。
图5为本实施例提供的有无p-GaN层结构的器件的击穿电压的对比图,其中实线代表着无p-GaN层结构的器件对应的击穿电压曲线,虚线代表着有p-GaN层结构的器件对应的击穿电压曲线,两者的栅源电压均设置为-5V以保证器件完全关断。从图5可以看出,在器件关断初期,两者的源漏电流比较接近,当源漏电压继续增大时(610V),实线对应的器件发生了局部击穿,源漏电流突然增大,这与局部电场峰值过高有关;虚线对应的器件在1252V才发生器件穿通现象,击穿电压提高了105%;这说明有p-GaN层结构的器件的电场峰值得到了抑制。
以上实施例仅为本发明较优的实施方式,仅用于解释本发明,而非限制本发明,本领域技术人员在未脱离本发明精神实质下所作的改变、替换、修饰等均应属于本发明的保护范围。
