Description

Silicon-based gallium nitride microwave device material structure with enhanced heat dissipation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a silicon-based gallium nitride microwave device material structure with enhanced heat dissipation.
Background
With the development of microelectronic technology, the third generation wide bandgap semiconductor material represented by gallium nitride has physical properties such as larger bandgap, higher critical breakdown electric field, higher electron saturation drift velocity, stable chemical properties, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance and the like, an electronic device manufactured by using the gallium nitride material can further reduce the chip area, improve the working frequency, improve the working temperature, reduce the on-resistance, improve the breakdown voltage and the like, and the gallium nitride material has great potential in the aspect of manufacturing microwave devices.
Gallium nitride and aluminum gallium nitrogen, indium aluminum nitrogen and the like in the same material system with the gallium nitride have high polarization coefficients, a heterostructure formed by the gallium nitride and the aluminum gallium nitrogen or the indium aluminum nitrogen with the forbidden bandwidth larger than that of the gallium nitride can form two-dimensional electron gas, and more than 1500cm can be obtained at room temperature2The electron mobility of the/V.s reaches 1.5 × 10cm7Saturated electron velocity sum of more than 1 × 10 per second13cm-2Thereby a high-speed schottky diode developed based on a gallium nitride material (schottky barrier diode,SBD for short) and High Electron mobility transistor (HEMT for short) devices can have lower on-resistance and higher output current. In addition, the higher critical breakdown electric field intensity of the gallium nitride material can enable the electronic device to have higher breakdown voltage, so that the device can work under higher working voltage, and the device has higher microwave output power density. Gallium nitride devices have higher power added efficiency and thus lower energy losses than silicon or gallium arsenide microwave electronic devices of equivalent output power.
Due to the immaturity of gallium nitride free-standing substrate technology, gallium nitride-based materials are mainly deposited on foreign substrates in current gallium nitride microwave devices. The substrates used so far for the growth of gallium nitride materials are mainly silicon carbide and silicon. The silicon carbide-based gallium nitride device benefits from smaller lattice mismatch of silicon carbide and gallium nitride and higher heat conduction performance of silicon carbide, has lower thermal resistance and higher output power density, is developed earlier and has mature technology. Microwave devices of silicon carbide based gallium nitride have been widely used in the fields of military radars, satellites, communication base stations, etc. However, the cost of silicon carbide based gan devices is relatively high due to the relatively high price and relatively small size of the silicon carbide substrate. Due to the advantages of large size and low cost of the silicon substrate wafer and the scale production of a silicon production line, the silicon-based gallium nitride device has low cost and high cost performance. The silicon-based gallium nitride microwave device is expected to be applied to mobile communication terminals such as 5G communication base stations, mobile phones and the like in a large scale.
However, one important drawback of silicon-based gallium nitride devices is the relatively high thermal resistance and thus poor heat dissipation compared to silicon carbide-based gallium nitride devices, thereby limiting the output power density and efficiency of silicon-based gallium nitride microwave devices. There are two physical mechanisms with poor heat dissipation performance. Firstly, the thermal conductivity of the silicon substrate is relatively poor, and the room temperature thermal conductivity value of a typical silicon carbide substrate is 4.0W/cm.K, while the silicon substrate is only 1.5W/cm.K; secondly, since the lattice mismatch between silicon and gallium nitride crystal materials is large, a very thick nucleation layer and transition layer, such as an aluminum gallium nitride material with gradually changed aluminum components or an aluminum nitride/gallium nitride superlattice material, need to be inserted between the active structure of the gallium nitride device and the silicon substrate, and the crystal materials of the nucleation layer and the transition layer have poor quality, many defects, and poor thermal conductivity. Therefore, the heat dissipation performance of the silicon-based gallium nitride microwave device needs to be improved, and the two problems need to be solved.
At present, the method for improving the heat dissipation performance of the silicon-based gallium nitride microwave device mainly has several technical routes:
1. after the device bare chip process is finished, the silicon substrate is thinned as much as possible, and then the device with the thinned substrate is transferred to a heat sink with high heat conductivity after being scribed. Most of the products of the silicon-based gallium nitride microwave devices at present are silicon substrates thinned to 100 μm, and the technology under development is the silicon substrate thinned to 50 μm. For example, "a.plantalli, a.nanni, c.lanzieri," Thermal floor of AlGaN/GaN HEMT on silicon microstructure technology, "6 th European Microwave Integrated Circuit reference, oct.2011", proposes a method for improving the heat dissipation performance of a device by thinning a silicon substrate, which has a disadvantage that the difficulty of the process operation after thinning the silicon substrate is increased, thereby reducing the yield of the device.
2. A layer of high thermal conductivity dielectric material is deposited on the Surface of a GaN-based microwave device, such as "n.tsurumi, h.ueno, t.murata, h.ishida, y.uemoto, t.ueda, k.inoue, t.tanaka," AlNPassivation Over AlGaN/GaN HFETs for Surface Heat Spreading ", ieee transactions on Electron Devices, vol.57, No.5, pp.980-985, May 2010" a layer of aluminum nitride on the Surface of a GaN-based microwave device, "z.lin, c.liu, c.zhou, y.chai, m.zhou and pe," Improved for electrons with a layer of silicon nitride, GaN-based microwave device, "johnowurdon, GaN-silicon nitride", and "nitride electronics, Electron beam", and "GaN-silicon nitride", and GaN-silicon nitride. The deposition of a layer of nano-grain diamond or the like on the surface of a gallium nitride microwave device is proposed by the IEEEElectron device drivers, Vol.33.No.1, pp.23-25, Jan.2012 ", and the method for depositing a high thermal conductivity dielectric material on the surface of a gallium nitride microwave device has the following disadvantages: these high thermal conductivity materials tend to introduce additional stress, affect device performance, or cause a reduction in the long term reliability of the device.
3. Optimizing the layout design of the silicon-based gallium nitride microwave device, such as "K.Belkaemi and R.hoc," effective 3D-TLM Modeling and Simulation for the thermal Management of microwave AlGaN/GaN HEMT Used in High Power Amplifiers SSPA, "Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications, Vol.8, No.23,1-19,2018" proposes a method of increasing the pitch of the gate fingers, reducing the gate density, and reducing the heating source density, which has the disadvantages of increasing the area of the device and having low heat dissipation effect.

In the conventional material structure of silicon-based gallium nitride, because a large lattice constant mismatch exists between a silicon substrate layer and a gallium nitride buffer layer, an aluminum nitride nucleation layer and a transition layer are introduced, wherein the transition layer can be aluminum gallium nitride or aluminum nitride/gallium nitride superlattice. However, the crystal quality of the aluminum nitride nucleation layer and the transition layer is poor, the dislocation density is high, the thermal conductivity is poor, and the heat dissipation performance of the silicon-based gallium nitride microwave device is seriously influenced.
