The embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to specific embodiments, and other advantages and effects of the present invention will be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present specification. The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Please refer to fig. 1 to 11. It should be noted that the drawings provided in the present embodiment are only for illustrating the basic idea of the present invention, and the drawings only show the components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation, and the type, quantity and proportion of each component in actual implementation may be changed arbitrarily, and the layout of the components may be more complicated.
Example one
The embodiment provides a preparation method of a GaN device with a heat sink structure, which comprises the steps of forming a defect layer in a SiC substrate layer by ion implantation through a cracking process, then cracking the SiC substrate layer at the defect layer under the stress action of a stress induction generation layer, achieving the effect of substrate thinning, and simultaneously recovering the SiC substrate, so that the process cost is saved, the thickness of the thinned SiC substrate layer can be determined by the energy and the dosage of ion implantation, the process is simple, and impurity particles introduced in the thinning process of the existing grinding process are avoided; in addition, the Cu/In alloy bonding is utilized, the risk of functional layer cracking In the bonding process of the heat sink structure is relieved, and the process reliability is high.
As shown in fig. 1 to 11, the preparation method includes the steps of:
as shown in fig. 1 and 2, step S1 is performed first to provide a GaN device structure 100, where the GaN device structure 100 includes a SiC substrate layer 101 and a functional layer 102 in this order.
As an example, the functional layer 102 is a device layer formed on the SiC substrate layer 101, and has a certain electrical function, and the functional layer 102 may be any existing functional device layer, especially a high-heat-production functional device with high power, high mobility, and the like. These high power, high mobility, and other functional devices generally need to form a heat dissipation structure to ensure the performance of the device. In this embodiment, the functional layer 102 is selected to be a HEMT device structure completed by a conventional process, and includes a source electrode, a gate electrode and a drain electrode (not shown in the figure).
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, step S2 is then performed to provide a temporary bonding sheet 103, and bond the functional layer 102 and the temporary bonding sheet 103.
The temporary bonding sheet 103 is used for temporarily fixing the functional layer 102 and the SiC substrate layer 101 during a process of forming a heat sink structure, so as to prevent the functional layer 102 from being damaged during the process of forming the heat sink structure. The temporary bonding pad 103 may be made of any suitable temporary bonding material, such as glass, sapphire, etc. The thickness of the temporary bond sheet 103 may be set according to specific needs. After the functional layer 102 is bonded with the temporary bonding sheet 103, the functional layer 102 is fixed, the back surface of the SiC substrate layer 101 is exposed, and then the formation of a heat sink structure can be realized by performing processes such as thinning and bonding on the back surface of the SiC substrate layer 101.
As shown in fig. 1, 4 and 5, step S3 is performed to implant ions into the back surface of the SiC substrate layer 101 (as shown in fig. 4, the arrows indicate the direction of the ion implantation) so as to form a defect layer 104 in the SiC substrate layer 101 (as shown in fig. 5).
As an example, any suitable ion implantation on the back side of SiC substrate layer 101 can be usedThe implantation of ions in the SiC substrate layer 101 may be performed as long as the defect layer 104 can be formed in the SiC substrate layer, and parameters such as the ion implantation energy and the ion implantation dose may be determined according to requirements such as the depth of the defect layer 104 to be formed. In this embodiment, protons are selected as the implanted ions in the ion implantation process, the energy of the ion implantation is 1MeV, and the dose of the ion implantation is 1 × 1017cm-2The formation of the defect layer 104 under these parameters ensures that the subsequently formed stress-inducing generation layer causes the SiC substrate layer 101 to split at the defect layer 104.
As shown in fig. 1, 6 and 7, step S4 is performed to deposit a stress-inducing layer 105 on the back surface of the SiC substrate layer 101, and when the stress generated by the stress-inducing layer 105 causes the SiC substrate layer 101 to split from the defect layer 104 to generate a split opening 109 (as shown in fig. 6), the deposition of the stress-inducing layer 105 is stopped, and then a spacer 110 is inserted from the split opening 109 to complete the thinning of the SiC substrate layer 101 (as shown in fig. 7).
The stress induction generation layer 105 generates tensile stress, the tensile stress generated in the process of depositing and forming the stress induction generation layer 105 is gradually increased, when the tensile stress is increased to a certain value, the crack starts at the edge of the defect layer 104 to generate a crack opening 109, at this time, the deposition of the stress induction generation layer 105 is stopped, and the spacer 110 is inserted into the crack opening 109 by means of external force, namely the spacer 110 made of a harder material, so as to complete the crack of the whole defect layer. The thinning of the SiC substrate layer 101 is realized, the process is simple, the thinned thickness of the SiC substrate layer 101 can be determined by the energy and the dosage of ion implantation, the process control is convenient, and impurity particles introduced in the conventional grinding process thinning process can be avoided; in addition, the separated SiC substrate layer 101 can be recycled, and the process cost is saved.
In this embodiment, the stress-inducing layer 105 is selected as a composite layer, and the deposition step specifically includes:
depositing a Ti layer 106 and a first Ni layer 107 on the back surface of the SiC substrate layer 101 by adopting a sputtering process;
depositing a second Ni layer 108 on the first Ni layer 107 by an electroplating process, and stopping the deposition of the second Ni layer 108 when the SiC substrate layer 101 is split from the defect layer 104 to generate the splitting gap 109.
As an example, the spacer 110 serves to split the defect layer 104 through the splitting gap 109, so the material of the spacer 110 may be selected according to specific needs as long as the defect layer 104 can be split, for example, the spacer 110 may be a semiconductor material, a sapphire material, or the like.
As shown in fig. 1, step S5 is performed next, and planarization processing is performed on the back surface of the thinned SiC substrate layer 101. To improve the surface flatness of the SiC substrate layer 101. In this embodiment, a CMP process is selected to perform planarization processing on the back surface of the SiC substrate layer 101, so as to remove at least a residual defect layer on the back surface of the SiC substrate layer 101.
As shown in fig. 1 and 8, step S6 is performed to sequentially form an adhesion layer 111, a seed layer 112, and a Cu layer 113 on the back surface of the SiC substrate layer 101 after the planarization process. The adhesion layer 111 is used for improving the adhesion performance between the SiC substrate layer 101 and the seed layer 112, and the seed layer 112 is used for improving the growth quality of the Cu layer 113. On one hand, the Cu layer 113 formed on the back surface of the SiC substrate layer 101 can improve the mechanical strength of the whole structure connected with the Cu layer, so that the damage of subsequent bonding pressure to the functional layer 102 is reduced; on the other hand, the Cu layer 113 can ensure high thermal conductivity of bonding, copper-indium bonding can not only improve heat dissipation, but also resist functional layer damage caused by mismatch of thermal expansion (CTE) of the functional layer at a higher operating temperature through compressive stress generated during bonding, thereby improving reliability of the functional layer, and in the absence of the Cu layer 113, wrinkles and cracks are likely to occur in the functional layer after a subsequent bonding process, and the cracks are due to a large stress gradient existing in a stack of the grown functional layer.
As an example, a sputtering process is adopted to form the adhesion layer 111 and the seed layer 112, the material of the adhesion layer 111 is Ti, and the material of the seed layer 112 is Au or Cu; the Cu layer 113 is formed using an electroplating process. In this embodiment, the thickness of the adhesion layer 111 is selected to be between 10nm and 50nm, the thickness of the seed layer 112 is selected to be between 50nm and 200nm, and the thickness of the Cu layer 113 is selected to be between 45 μm and 55 μm.
As shown In fig. 1 and 9, step S7 is performed to provide a Cu heat sink substrate 114, and an In layer 115 is formed on the Cu heat sink substrate 114.
By way of example, the Cu heat sink substrate 114 is typically selected to have a thickness of about 2mm, and the Cu heat sink substrate 114 is planarized, for example, by electropolishing the Cu heat sink substrate 114 using CMP, to reduce the surface roughness from about 20 μm to between 100nm and 200 nm.
As an example, the In layer 115 may be deposited using a thermal evaporation process. The deposition thickness of the In layer 115 is about 1 μm.
As shown In fig. 1, 10 and 11, step S8 is finally performed, In which the In layer 115 of the Cu heatsink substrate 114 is bonded to the Cu layer 113 of the SiC substrate layer 101 (as shown In fig. 10), and a CuIn intermetallic compound layer 116 is formed on the bonding surface (as shown In fig. 11), thereby forming a GaN device with a heatsink structure.
As an example, the specific step of bonding and forming the CuIn intermetallic compound layer 116 includes first bonding the Cu layer 113 of the SiC substrate layer 101 to the Cu heat sink substrate 114 through the melted In layer 115, under the condition that the Cu layer 113 and the melted In layer 115 are bonded for 5min to 10min at a temperature between 200 ℃ and 250 ℃; then, the temperature is reduced to 145-155 ℃, and the bonding is continued for 70-90 min, so that the Cu layer 113 and the In layer 115 form a metal alloy layer, i.e., a CuIn intermetallic compound layer 116. Firstly adopting high-temperature bonding and then adopting low-temperature bonding, because Cu is formed when the bonding temperature is between 200 and 250 DEG C11In9The melting point of the alloy will be higher, being 310 c, for the intermetallic layer. In addition, low temperature annealing for 70-90 min will produce Cu rich in Cu9In4The compound is more beneficial to heat dissipation.
As an example, the temporary bonding sheet 103 may be removed as needed after the GaN device having the heat sink structure is formed.

As shown in fig. 11, the GaN device having a heat sink structure includes: a Cu heatsink substrate 114, a CuIn intermetallic compound layer 116, a seed layer 112, an adhesion layer 111, a SiC substrate layer 101, and a functional layer 102.
As an example, the CuIn intermetallic layer 116 includes Cu11In9Intermetallic compound layer and Cu9In4An intermetallic compound layer.
In summary, the invention provides a GaN device with a heat sink structure and a preparation method thereof, wherein a defect layer is formed in a SiC substrate layer by ion implantation through a cracking process, and then the SiC substrate layer is cracked at the defect layer under the stress action of a stress induction generation layer, so that the effect of substrate thinning is achieved, and the SiC substrate can be recovered, thereby saving the process cost, the thickness of the thinned SiC substrate layer can be determined by the energy and dosage of ion implantation, the process is simple, and the impurity particles introduced in the existing thinning process by adopting a grinding process are avoided; in addition, the Cu/In alloy bonding is utilized, the risk of functional layer cracking In the bonding process of the heat sink structure is relieved, and the process reliability is high.
