根据本发明实施例,所述氮化镓源极层121和所述氮化镓漏极层122可以是由N++掺杂氮化镓所构成的。根据本发明另一实施例,其中所述氮化镓源极层121和所述氮化镓漏极层122可以是由氮化铟镓所构成的。
根据本发明实施例,所述栅极凹陷110贯穿所述氮化铝镓层106,显露出部分的氮化镓通道层104。根据本发明另一实施例,所述栅极凹陷110未贯穿所述氮化铝镓层106,此时,在所述栅极凹陷110底部的所述氮化铝镓层106的剩余厚度小于或等于2nm,在此厚度范围下,不会在所述氮化铝镓层106正下方处形成二维电子云(2DEG)。
根据本发明实施例,所述重生长氮化铝镓膜108的厚度小于2nm。

请参阅图2至图8,其为依据本发明实施例所绘示的一种高电子迁移率晶体管的制作方法的示意图,图中仍以相同的标示符号来表示相同的元件、层、区域或材料。
如图2所示,首先提供基底100,例如,硅基底。接着,依序在基底100的表面上以外延方法形成缓冲层102、氮化镓通道层104、氮化铝镓层106和氮化镓层120,其中,依据本发明一实施例,所述氮化镓层120可以是N++掺杂氮化镓层。依据本发明一实施例,所述氮化镓层120可以是氮化铟镓层。在氮化镓通道层104中,靠近氮化铝镓层106处,会形成二维电子云(2DEG)。
接着,如图3所示,进行光学光刻和蚀刻制作工艺,将所述氮化镓层120图案化,分别于源极区域S和漏极区域D内的所述氮化铝镓层106上形成氮化镓源极层121和氮化镓漏极层122。如前所述,例如,所述氮化镓层120可以是N++掺杂氮化镓层,如此实现降低源极和漏极电阻的发明目的。此外,在in-situ生长N++掺杂氮化镓层的金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)过程中,掺质浓度和活化热预算(activation thermal budget)可以被有效的控制。
如图4所示,进行另一次的光学光刻和蚀刻制作工艺,在所述源极区域S和所述漏极区域D之间的所述氮化铝镓层106中形成栅极凹陷110。根据本发明实施例,所述栅极凹陷110贯穿所述氮化铝镓层106,显露出部分的氮化镓通道层104。根据本发明另一实施例,所述栅极凹陷110未贯穿所述氮化铝镓层106,此时,在所述栅极凹陷110底部的所述氮化铝镓层106的剩余厚度小于或等于2nm,在此厚度范围下,不会在所述氮化铝镓层106正下方处形成二维电子云(2DEG)。
如图5所示,接着于所述氮化铝镓层106上、所述氮化镓源极层121和所述氮化镓漏极层122上,和所述栅极凹陷110的内表面上,形成重生长氮化铝镓膜108。根据本发明实施例,其中所述重生长氮化铝镓膜108的厚度小于2nm。所述重生长氮化铝镓膜108可以修补先前蚀刻步骤中造成的表面损害。然后,继续在重生长氮化铝镓膜108表面生长出P型氮化镓层112G。
如图6所示,接着进行另一次的光学光刻和蚀刻制作工艺,将P型氮化镓层112G图案化成P型氮化镓栅极层112。所述P型氮化镓栅极层112形成于所述栅极凹陷110内和所述栅极凹陷110上。
如图7所示,接着形成绝缘结构200,例如沟槽绝缘结构,环绕着由图案化的氮化镓通道层104和图案化的氮化铝镓层106构成的岛状主动区域。然后,形成保护层130,覆盖所述重生长氮化铝镓膜108和所述P型氮化镓栅极层112。例如,保护层130可以包含氮化硅或氧化铝等,但不限于此。
随后,如图8所示,在保护层130上形成介电层140,例如,氧化硅等,但不限于此。然后,形成栅极接触CG,贯穿所述保护层130,并直接接触所述P型氮化镓栅极层112,形成源极接触CS和漏极接触CD,贯穿所述保护层130,并分别直接接触所述氮化镓源极层121和所述氮化镓漏极层122。
