Description
技术领域
本发明涉及半导体技术领域,特别涉及一种用于Ⅲ-Ⅴ族氮化物器件的表面钝化结构及其器件。
背景技术
电子电力技术在现代人类的生产生活当中扮演着重要的角色,从日常生活中的家用电器到工业生产、电器交通以及新能源技术,电力电子器件无处不在。其中,以氮化镓材料为代表的Ⅲ-Ⅴ族氮化物电子电力器件得到了广泛的运用。氮化镓(GaN)作为第三代宽禁带半导体材料,在与传统的硅(Si)基半导体材料相比,其在特性上优势突出。由于禁带宽度大、导热率高,GaN器件可承载更高的能量密度,可靠性更高;较大的禁带宽度和击穿电场,使得器件导通电阻减小,有利于提升器件的整体能效,这些特点决定了它们在功率开关器件方面具有广泛的应用前景。
然而,由GaN的界面态导致的电流崩塌效应,严重制约着GaN器件的实际应用。电流崩塌现象是指GaN HEMT器件在动态下工作时输出电流降低的现象,在器件关断状态下,在栅电极靠近漏极端一侧的(Al)GaN体内或者表面缺陷态捕获负电荷,形成界面负电荷陷阱区,这些负电荷在静电感应作用下会减少甚至完全耗尽下方沟道区的二维电子气(2DEG),形成沟道耗尽区。当给器件施加栅电压并开启器件时,栅极下方沟道导通,但是界面负电荷陷阱区的负电荷不能及时释放,导致器件不能完全导通,导致电流密度下降以及输出功率减小等现象发生。
现有减小电流崩塌效应的措施主要包括表面介质钝化和场板结构。表面介质钝化主要指利用等离子体增强化学气相沉积(PECVD)法生长氮化硅薄膜,以稳定GaN表面的界面态,阻止表面缺陷态捕获负电荷,从而相对提升了2DEG的浓度。场板结构指位于器件上方且与器件电极相连的金属板,通过介质薄膜与器件隔离,可通过电场调制抑制电流崩塌现象,并提升器件的击穿电压,提高功率输出密度。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于提供一种用于Ⅲ-Ⅴ族氮化物器件的表面钝化结构,利用原子层沉积技术沉积Al1-xScxN层和AlySc2-yO3层双层薄膜进行表面处理,以进一步抑制电流崩塌效应。
为解决上述技术问题,本发明的技术解决方案是:
一种用于Ⅲ-Ⅴ族氮化物器件的表面钝化结构,包括位于Ⅲ-Ⅴ族氮化物基底上的Al1-xScxN层和AlySc2-yO3层,Al1-xScxN层和AlySc2-yO3层由下至上依次层叠设置,其中,Al1- xScxN层的厚度为0.5~10nm,0<x≤1;AlySc2-yO3层的厚度为1~20nm,0≤y<2,Al1-xScxN层的厚度≤AlySc2-yO3层的厚度。
进一步,Al1-xScxN层具有多层结构,或者,AlySc2-yO3层具有多层结构。
进一步,在Al1-xScxN层的多层结构中,每一层中Al的含量由下至上依次递增,Sc含量由下至上依次递减。
进一步,在AlySc2-yO3层的多层结构中,每一层中Al的含量由下至上依次递减,Sc含量由下至上依次递增。
进一步,还包括AlN层,Al1-xScxN层层叠于AlN层上。
进一步,还包括Al2O3层,Al2O3层层叠于AlySc2-yO3层上。
进一步,Al1-xScxN层和AlySc2-yO3层的沉积方式为原子层沉积。
一种Ⅲ-Ⅴ族氮化物器件,至少包括基底、电极和钝化保护层,电极和钝化保护层位于基底上;还包括由下至上依次层叠设置的Al1-xScxN层和AlySc2-yO3层,Al1-xScxN层位于基底和电极上,钝化保护层位于AlySc2-yO3层上;其中,Al1-xScxN层的厚度为0.5~10nm,0<x≤1;AlySc2-yO3层的厚度为1~20nm,0≤y<2,Al1-xScxN层的厚度≤AlySc2-yO3层的厚度。
进一步,钝化保护层具体为SiN层、SiO2和SiON中的一种或多种。
进一步,基底至少为AlGaN、GaN、InAlGaN、InGaN、InAlN、InN和AlN中的任意一种。
进一步,Al1-xScxN层具有多层结构,每一层中Al的含量由下至上依次递增,Sc含量由下至上依次递减。AlySc2-yO3层具有多层结构,每一层中Al的含量由下至上依次递减,Sc含量由下至上依次递增。还包括AlN层,Al1-xScxN层层叠于AlN层上。还包括Al2O3层,Al2O3层层叠于AlySc2-yO3层上。Al1-xScxN层和AlySc2-yO3层的沉积方式为原子层沉积。
本发明首先在半导体器件基底上利用原子层沉积技术分别沉积薄层(Al1-xScxN层与AlySc2-yO3层),然后在利用PECVD法生长氮化硅薄膜进行常规表面钝化技术。其中,Al1- xScxN层的厚度控制在0.5nm~10nm,其作用在于氮化(Nitridation)半导体器件表面的自然氧化层,降低因裸露在空气中形成的自然氧化层带来的表面态;同时由于相似的晶格结构,首先沉积Al1-xScxN可以有效减少因与氮化镓或铝镓氮器件表面晶格失配而引入新的界面态;AlySc2-yO3层的厚度控制在1nm~20nm,作用在于一方面可以与Al1-xScxN形成一个自然的过渡层,避免成膜时形成多余的表面态;另一方面由于AlySc2-yO3采用原子层沉积技术形成,具有台阶覆盖性好,成膜厚度均匀性高,薄膜致密度高等优点,可以有效降低后续PECVD生长钝化保护层(如氮化硅)时等离子体损伤表面,进一步降低界面态的产生,降低器件出现电流崩塌的风险,提高器件可靠性。

进一步,钝化保护层可以为SiN层、SiO2和SiON中的一种或多种。其主要作用为提高器件的绝缘效果,减小漏电。抑制电流崩塌效应,提升器件的输出电流与输出功率。所以,只要能起到相同作用,钝化保护层也可以选择其他材料,不限定于SiN层、SiO2和SiON。
进一步,基底可以为GaN,当然,基底也可以选择其他Ⅲ-Ⅴ族氮化物,至少包括AlGaN、InAlGaN、InGaN、InAlN、InN或AlN中的任一一种。
测试各实施例电流崩塌系数(电流崩塌系数越小,意味着电流崩塌效应越小,器件越稳定)的数据,如下表所示。可以看出在Al1-xScxN层和AlySc2-yO3层同时都是渐变结构的条件下,电流崩塌效应最小,意味着氮化镓基表面钝化效果最佳。而且,采用本发明的结构后,其器件的稳定性相对于只有单层结构都有一定程度的提升。
