The invention belongs to the technical field of electronics, and relates to a semiconductor device, in particular to a nano silicon/amorphous silicon carbide heterojunction multi-barrier varactor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
A capacitor is a device that stores electric field energy, and a conventional capacitor is composed of two metal plates separated by a dielectric medium in a specific geometry. In the mechanical tuning capacitor used in the early days, the quality of the element itself is usually up to several thousand due to the high Q value; but the volume is large and the installation and the use are inconvenient. Over the course of development, part of the mechanical tuning capacitors has been replaced by varactors, the latter typically having a Q value of between tens and hundreds. PN junction varactors are semiconductor devices, also known as voltage-controlled varactors, that are made using the principle that the capacitance of the PN junction changes with reverse voltage when the diode is reverse biased, and its reverse breakdown voltage is related to the resistivity of the substrate material. Unlike the traditional metal plate capacitor or PN junction capacitor, in which the charges are accumulated in the polar plate or P, N region, in the nano-silicon/amorphous silicon carbide heterojunction multi-barrier varactor of the invention, the nano-silicon with narrow band gap is used as a potential well to store the charges, and the amorphous silicon carbide with wide band gap is used as a barrier medium; each heterojunction formed by doped nano silicon/amorphous silicon carbide/doped nano silicon is used as a barrier capacitor, a plurality of capacitors are connected in series to form a heterojunction barrier varactor, the equivalent capacitance of the heterojunction barrier varactor is reduced, the terminal voltage is increased, and the heterojunction barrier varactor is suitable for the high-frequency and high-voltage fields.
By way of search, the following main documents reflect the varactor diode in the prior art. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
document 1[ AEU-International Journal of Electronics and Communications, vol.110, No.10(2019):152823-1-13 ], the varactor can replace a mechanical tuning capacitor, has a smaller volume, improves the reliability of a circuit, is widely used in electronic information fields such as harmonic generation, frequency multiplication, low noise amplification, microwave receiving tuners, active filters, switches, phase shifting, pulse generation and pulse shaping, optical detection and the like, and the power consumption of a capacitive optical detection sensor is smaller than the corresponding value of other traditional optical detectors. Epitaxial and diffusion techniques are commonly used to fabricate compound semiconductor varactors such as silicon single crystals or gallium arsenide. Its category includes electrically tuned varactors (usable in resonant circuits, etc.), parametric amplification varactors (usable for frequency doubling, electrical tuning, signal parametric amplification, etc.), power step varactors (usable for medium frequency doubling, phase shifting, etc. of solid power sources).

The first two exhibit lower leakage current because the potential barrier is higher; MSM-2DEG devices generally employ a lateral structure; the latter two (ASV, HBV) generally adopt a vertical structure, a semiconductor layer can be thickened so as to improve the breakdown electric field intensity, the high-power processing capability is realized, a symmetrical capacitance-voltage relation and an antisymmetric current-voltage relation can be formed, a current bias and an even harmonic no-load circuit when the current bias is used as a frequency tripler are not required to be arranged, and the conversion efficiency of the third harmonic is improved. By utilizing the nonlinear semiconductor varactor, high-frequency harmonic waves can be generated from low-frequency pumping, and the method is an effective way for obtaining a terahertz wave source. The loss of a semiconductor varactor as a varactor is as small as possible, i.e., the diffusion capacitance is as small as possible, because the charge and discharge currents of the diffusion capacitance cause losses in the circuit. Then, the barrier capacitance of the semiconductor varactor is fully utilized to operate in the whole reverse bias voltage range between 0 bias voltage and breakdown. On the premise of ensuring the reliability of the highest reverse working voltage and the like, a feasible process is selected to manufacture the varactor polar plate and the dielectric medium which are as thin as possible, but the material quality is ensured, and the method is environment-friendly and energy-saving.

completing the above nine steps to obtain electrode/N+Type monocrystalline silicon/N type nano silicon/amorphous silicon carbide/N type nano silicon/N+Nano silicon/electrode-heterojunction multi-potential barrier varactor.
In embodiment 1 of the present invention, a wide bandgap amorphous silicon carbide is used as a barrier dielectric layer, and a narrow bandgap N-type nano-silicon is used as a potential well layer. According to the comparability of the preparation method and the material structure, the band gap width E of the amorphous silicon carbide and the N-type nano silicongAre respectively Eg3C-SiC=3.50eV、Eg-nc-Si=1.95eV[Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells,Vol.182,No.9(2018):220-227.]. The N-type nano-silicon/amorphous silicon carbide/N-type nano-silicon in one period form a heterojunction barrier varactor, and the structure is shown in the attached figure 1 in the specification. The capacitance of each heterojunction can be calculated according to the capacitance formula C ═ S/d of the parallel plate capacitor. In the invention, 2 and 4 periods of electrode/N were prepared in example 1+Type monocrystalline silicon/N type nano silicon/amorphous silicon carbide/N type nano silicon/N+Nano silicon/electrode-heterojunction multi-potential barrier varactor, where N+Type monocrystalline silicon substrate carrier concentration 2 x 1025Rice and its production process-3200 microns thick; carrier concentration of N-type nano silicon layer modulation layer 2X 1022Rice and its production process-350nm in thickness; thickness of amorphous silicon carbide layer 25 nm; last layer N+Carrier concentration of nano silicon contact layer is 2X 1025Rice and its production process-3500 nm in thickness; radius of heterojunction barrier varactor 4.0 × 10-4400 microns. The heterojunction multi-barrier varactor with 2 periods and 4 periods is taken as an equivalent capacitor with 2 capacitors and 4 capacitors connected in series, as shown in the attached figure 2 in the specification, wherein a P-type nano silicon layer with a narrow band gap is taken as a potential well, and an amorphous silicon carbide layer with a wide band gap is taken as a potential barrier. When the heterojunction multi-barrier varactor is loaded with voltage, charges are separated in different potential wells by different barriers, which is equivalent to that capacitors are connected in series, as shown in fig. 2. As the voltage is increased step by step, the charges of the different potential wells are depleted step by step. Because each heterojunction barrier capacitor is connected in series, the total capacitance value of the equivalent capacitor is smaller than that of a single capacitor, so that the capacitance value of the varactor containing 4 periodic heterojunctions is smaller than that of the varactor containing 2 periodic heterojunctions, as shown in the attached figure 3 of the specification. That is, the more the heterojunction period, the smaller the total capacitance value of the equivalent capacitor of the heterojunction varactor, the higher the varactor ratio, the larger the amplitude of the modulation signal can be, and the wider the dynamic load modulation range.
However, the more the period of the heterojunction is, the better. Since the amorphous silicon carbide serving as the barrier is not doped, the resistivity thereof is higher than that of the N-type nano silicon. Then, the more cycles of the heterojunction, the larger the total resistance value of the equivalent capacitor, and the slower the forward current through it rises with the forward voltage, as shown in fig. 4, the current of the varactor diode of 4 periodic heterojunction is lower than that of the varactor diode of 2 periodic heterojunction. Because of N+Type-monocrystalline silicon substrate, N+Due to the difference between the nano-silicon contact layers, the capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) relationship curves of the nano-silicon/amorphous silicon carbide heterojunction multi-barrier varactor provided in the first embodiment of the present invention are slightly asymmetric, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, respectively.
When data of the capacitance-voltage (C-V) relationship obtained by testing the varactor diode provided in example 1 of the present invention was simulated, it was found that the data was related to the capacitance-voltage (C-V) relationship of the following varactor diodeJunction capacitance (C)J) The voltage (V) relationship is well matched,
in the formula CJ0Junction capacitance at 0 bias, VbiIs the built-in potential of the junction and gamma is the capacitance change index. The capacitance change index gamma of the multi-barrier varactor with 4 periodic nano-silicon/amorphous silicon carbide heterojunction is 1.108, and the gamma of the multi-barrier varactor with 4 periodic nano-silicon/amorphous silicon carbide heterojunction is 1.266. It can be seen that the value of γ is close to 1, and this varactor can approximately achieve chirp in the case of small frequency offsets.
Calculated according to the following formula of the static cut-off frequency,
the static cutoff frequency of the 4-period heterojunction multi-barrier varactor provided in example 1 of the present invention is about 0.3THz at 0 bias.
Calculated according to the following formula of the dynamic cut-off frequency,
the dynamic cut-off frequency of the varactor provided in embodiment 1 of the present invention is about 5.7 THz. It can be seen that the varactor diode provided in embodiment 1 of the present invention can be applied to the THz field.
When the applied voltage is relatively low (-1-0V, 0-1V), as shown in the area (1) in fig. 4, the current-voltage (I-V) data obtained by experiment is assumed to be simulated, and the current at this time mainly follows the multi-step tunneling capture-emission (MTCE) mechanism,
in the formula,. DELTA.EafA is a constant independent of temperature and voltage, kBAnd T is Boltzmann constant and thermodynamic temperature, respectively. The defect states in the nano silicon and the amorphous silicon carbide provide multi-step tunnel channels for carriers to form current. As the applied voltage increases, the current increases, as shown in region (2) — 2 — -1V, 1-2V in fig. 5, and the current at this time is subject to a coincidence mechanism, as predicted by simulation from experimentally measured current-voltage (I-V) data. As the applied voltage continues to rise, the current increases rapidly, as predicted by simulation from experimentally determined current-voltage (I-V) data in region (3) (-2.5- — 2V, 2-2.5V) of FIG. 5, where the current mainly follows the diffusion mechanism. When the applied voltage is further increased, such as the region (3) (-3- — 2.5V, 2.5-3V) in fig. 5, the current increases more slowly, and the current is mainly affected by the diode resistance, which is estimated from the experimentally measured current-voltage data simulation.
According to the current-voltage (I-V) data simulation conjecture measured by experiments, the mass-junction multi-barrier variable capacitance diode provided by the embodiment 1 of the invention has no rectification characteristic and is not a traditional PN junction diode.
