Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a spin-polarized coupled GaN MOSFET (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the Field of ferromagnetic materials and the Field of third-generation Semiconductor microwave millimeter wave devices.
Background
The third-generation semiconductor GaN device has larger forbidden band width and higher working voltage, and has wide application prospect in the field of microwave and millimeter wave chips. In general, an AlGaN/GaN MOSFET device is epitaxially grown by MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition), MBE (molecular beam epitaxy), or other methods. Due to the inverse piezoelectric effect of the AlGaN/GaN interface, two-dimensional electron gas exists in a GaN channel, so that a field effect characteristic potential barrier formed by a grid electrode of the device has a control effect on the channel two-dimensional electron gas, namely a voltage control current device. Due to the modulation effect of the grid voltage on the channel current, the MOSFET device is widely used in active devices such as radio frequency switches, power amplifiers and the like. The modulation mode of a conventional mosfet is controlled by a voltage to control a current device, i.e., a change in gate voltage can control the magnitude of a channel current. The electron spin in the channel is not controlled.
The vertical magnetization film can generate spontaneous magnetization in the magnetic film, and the direction of the spontaneous magnetization is vertical to the film surface. The perpendicular magnetization film can control the direction of spin electrons inside it by a magnetic field. Due to the spin coupling effect of the perpendicular magnetization film, the spin electrons adjacent thereto are also affected so that the spin directions thereof are aligned in the same direction. Based on this characteristic, perpendicular magnetization films are widely used in the field of magnetic storage.
The traditional MOSFET device is a voltage modulation channel current device, the direction of spin electrons in a channel cannot be modulated, and if a vertical magnetization film is used as a grid electrode of the MOSFET device, the vertical magnetization film can modulate the spin electrons in the channel due to the spin coupling characteristic of the vertical magnetization film. And also modulates the electron concentration in the channel. Therefore, the channel electron concentration and the electron spin direction are modulated simultaneously by the gate electrode having the perpendicular magnetization film. Therefore, the GaN MOSFET with spin polarization coupling is developed, so that the relation between a radio frequency device and spin electrons can be established, and the development of a multi-dimensional microwave millimeter wave device is promoted.
At present, the gate metal used in GaN devices is generally a metal such as Ni, Pt, etc., and the barrier layer is generally an AlGaN material. The field effect characteristic is generated by preparing the grid metal on the surface of the barrier layer through sputtering or evaporation, so that the field effect modulation of the voltage control current is formed. Because the traditional GaN MOSFET device is applied to a radio frequency power amplifier, the application environment does not relate to a magnetic field environment, and the magnetic property of the grid metal is not deeply researched.
In summary, the conventional MOSFET device can only control channel electrons by field effect, and the association between the MOSFET device and spin electrons is established. The spin polarization coupling of the gate and the channel electrons is not realized in principle, that is, the gate cannot simultaneously regulate the spin direction of the spin electrons in the channel and the channel current.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The invention takes the magnetized film as the bottom layer of the grid electrode by sputtering on the surface of the barrier layer of the GaN MOSFET complete epitaxial structure. The magnetized film is composed of metal oxide medium, ferromagnetic material and metal material. The grid and barrier layer under the magnetized film can generate field effect characteristic.

The spin-polarized coupled GaN MOSFET and the preparation method thereof are shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. As shown in fig. 1, a GaN MOSFET complete epitaxial structure 108 is epitaxially grown on a substrate 101, including the substrate 101, a nucleation layer and a high-resistance buffer layer 102, a channel layer 103, and a barrier layer 104.

The nucleation layer and the high-resistance buffer layer 102 are made of one or more of iron-doped GaN, vanadium-doped GaN and AlN materials. The channel layer 103 is made of one of GaN and InGaN materials. The barrier layer 104 is any of AlGaN, AlInN, AlN, and AlInGaN. The barrier layer 104 and the channel layer 103 may generate a two-dimensional electron gas at the barrier layer 104/channel layer 103 interface due to the inverse piezoelectric effect. The thickness of each layer is approximately: the thickness of the substrate 101 is 600um, the thicknesses of the nucleation layer and the high-resistance buffer layer 102 are 1500nm, the thickness of the channel layer 103 is 200nm, the thickness of the barrier layer 104 is 20nm, and the thicknesses of all the layers can be adjusted correspondingly according to the requirements of specific devices. When the barrier layer 104 is AlGaN, the specific Al content can be determined by the device application requirements, such as 18% to 38%. In addition, each epitaxial layer can be selectively inserted into other layers according to the requirements of the breakdown voltage, the mobility and other characteristics of different application environments. For example, an AlGaN back barrier layer 105 is interposed between the channel layer 103 and the nucleation layer and the high resistance buffer layer 102, an AlN insertion layer 106 is interposed between the channel layer 103 and the barrier layer 104, and a GaN cap layer 107 is grown on the surface of the barrier layer 104. Since the typical epitaxial layers of the present invention include the substrate 101, the nucleation and high resistance buffer layer 102, the channel layer 103, and the barrier layer 104, other intervening layers are not discussed at the time, and the fabrication of the selective structure does not affect the implementation of the spin-polarization coupled GaN MOSFET of the present invention.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, source drain metal 201 is then prepared on the GaN epitaxial material and source drain protective SiN dielectric 202 is grown. The source electrode and the drain electrode are formed by preparing ohmic contact metal, and the specific ohmic contact process and the ohmic contact metal are not the content of the patent and are not limited. Other structures and processes, such as active area isolation, resistor preparation, capacitor preparation, microstrip preparation and the like, can be related to the microwave and millimeter wave monolithic integrated circuit, and the preparation mode and the preparation sequence are not limited in the invention because the microwave and millimeter wave monolithic integrated circuit is not the key point related to the invention. The dielectric layer also protects the AlGaN barrier layer surface of the active region. And then photoetching an isolation region and carrying out implantation isolation.
Further, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, a photolithography process 301 is used to form a grid pattern 302 on the surface, then an etching process or a wet etching process 401 is used to etch or corrode and remove the medium of the grid portion, and after the grid is etched, the photoresist is removed, so that the grid portion forms a medium groove structure 402. The exposed portion of the bottom of the trench is the barrier layer 104. And selectively grooving the AlGaN according to the fact that the prepared circuit is an enhancement device or a depletion device, and the specific device type is not the content of the invention and is not described any more.
Further, as shown in fig. 5, a gate cap process 501 is performed on the sample wafer to form a gate cap structure glue type 502, the structure is easy to be stripped, and the size of the gate cap can be generally controlled to be about 1.0 um. Further, as shown in fig. 6, after the surface treatment with a solution such as HCL (hydrochloric acid), the gate electrode is formedA metal preparation process 601. The gate metal magnetization film 603 is sputtered once. The primary gate metal magnetization film 603 is composed of a metal oxide, a ferromagnetic material, and a metal material from bottom to top. The metal oxide in the primary gate metal magnetization film 603 is MgO or Al2O3、HfO2And ZrO or a combination thereof. The ferromagnetic material in the primary gate metal magnetization film 603 is any one or a combination of CoFeB, NiFe, CoFe, CoNi, CoPt, Fe, Co, Ni ferromagnetic materials. The metal material in the primary gate metal magnetization film 603 is any one or a combination of Ta, Ti, Pt, Pd, and Ru metal materials. For example, the primary gate metal magnetization film 603 may adopt a MgO/CoFeB/Ta multilayer film, which is an ultra-thin nano-layer, wherein a first layer is sputtered with a metal oxide medium MgO with a thickness of 0.8nm, and a second layer is sputtered with CoFeB, and the atomic ratio of CoFeB alloy materials is generally 40: 40: 20, can also be adjusted; the thickness of CoFeB is 1.3nm, and the thickness of the third layer sputtered is Ta and is 1.3 nm. After preparation, an annealing process can be selectively adopted to change the saturation magnetization, the coercive force and the like of the vertical magnetization film. In order to reduce the gate resistance, the secondary gate metal 602 is continuously sputtered or evaporated above the primary gate metal magnetization film 603, i.e. above the MgO/CoFeB/Ta multilayer film, and the secondary gate metal 602 is one or a combination of Au, AL, Pt, Ti, Ni, and the like. For example, the secondary grid metal can be prepared by an electron beam evaporation system, and the metal system can be selected from a TiPtAu system, wherein the thickness of Au can be controlled between 300nm and 950 nm.
The primary gate metal magnetization film 603 has a spontaneous magnetization characteristic, and can generate spin polarization coupling to electrons of two-dimensional electron gas in a channel; meanwhile, the grid electrode has a field effect modulation characteristic on the two-dimensional electron gas in the AlGaN/GaN channel, so that the multi-layer film grid metal has a spin polarization coupling characteristic and a field effect modulation characteristic on the two-dimensional electron gas in the channel, and further can simultaneously realize the modulation on the spin direction of channel electrons and channel current.
The steps of the photoetching of the gate cap and the primary gate metal magnetized film 603 can be changed, the primary gate metal magnetized film 603 is sputtered on a whole piece, then the gate cap is photoetched, and then the stripping process is carried out by evaporating the secondary gate metal 602. After the secondary gate metal 602 is evaporated and stripped, the MgO/CoFeB/Ta multilayer film except the gate metal is removed by adopting an ion milling process, and only the metal part below the gate thickening metal is left. And carrying out a heat treatment process after the grid is formed, so as to enhance the field effect characteristic of the grid of the device. Other front side processes and back side processes are the same as the manufacturing method of a general MOSFET device, are not the key points of the invention, and are not described again.
After the gate ion milling, a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) method is used to grow SiN dielectric for gate passivation, and for a monolithic circuit, resistors, capacitors, wiring and the like need to be prepared. In addition, after the front surface is finished, processes such as wafer thinning, back hole etching, back gold preparation and the like are required, and since the processes are generally mature and are not the key points of the invention, detailed description is omitted here.
