Description
技术领域
本发明属于半导体材料外延生长技术领域,具体涉及一种InAlGaN/GaN异质结结构及其生长方法。
背景技术
GaN作为一种宽禁带的直接带隙半导体材料,室温下禁带宽度约为3.39eV,具有击穿电压高、电子饱和速度高、热导率高、介电常数低、化学稳定性好等特点。因此GaN有着非常广泛的应用,在大功率电子器件尤其高频微波器件应用方面有着广阔的前景。
GaN基电子器件的研究大多基于AlGaN/GaN异质结,这是由于AlGaN/GaN异质结具有很强的自发极化和压电极化效应,在AlGaN势垒层非故意掺杂的情况下就能形成高迁移率、高密度的二维电子气(2DEG),正是AlGaN/GaN异质结2DEG沟道的高电导能力为GaN电子器件提供了基础。
为了使GaN基电子器件达到更高的工作频率,如毫米波频段甚至太赫兹频段,要求器件的沟道长度必须足够短,这时器件的短沟道效应将成为一个重要的问题。为了克服短沟道效应对器件的影响,需要减薄AlGaN势垒层厚度,但同时还要保持高的异质结沟道电导特性,就必须增大势垒层Al组分,增强自发极化和压电极化效应以维持高2DEG密度。然而,高Al组分AlGaN和GaN的晶格失配增大,AlGaN势垒层受到GaN的张应变增加,会导致异质结界面粗糙度增加以及AlGaN势垒层结晶质量下降,降低2DEG面密度和迁移率,同时高Al组分AlGaN的绝缘性增加,欧姆接触电阻将会增大。另外,器件处于工作状态时,在靠近漏极的栅下方存在大的电场,在AlGaN势垒层的很小区域内产生大的应力,处于晶格失配状态的AlGaN势垒层会发生逆压电效应,导致在其内部形成晶体缺陷,严重影响高频毫米波器件的工作性能和可靠性。
发明内容
本发明提出了一种InAlGaN/GaN异质结结构及其生长方法,该结构采用四元InAlGaN材料作为势垒层,InAlGaN材料在In:Al组分比约为1:5时可实现与GaN材料a轴晶格常数匹配,在晶格匹配的同时还可实现InAlGaN材料禁带宽度的改变,有利于调控InAlGaN/GaN异质结界面处2DEG密度,适用于高频氮化物电子器件的制备。
本发明由如下技术方案实现:

如上所述的一种InAlGaN/GaN异质结结构,其特征在于:GaN沟道层2厚度为1~5μm、InAlGaN势垒层3厚度为1~30nm。
如上所述的一种InAlGaN/GaN异质结结构,其特征在于:GaN沟道层2采用的是两步温度生长法制备,即首先在较低温度(500~900℃)生长一定厚度的的低温GaN层,然后升高温度(1000~1300℃)进行高温GaN层的外延生长,低温GaN层和高温GaN层共同构成GaN沟道层2。
如上所述的一种InAlGaN/GaN异质结结构,其特征在于:衬底层1可以为蓝宝石、SiC、Si、GaN、AlN或金刚石衬底。
一种如上所述的InAlGaN/GaN异质结结构的生长方法,其步骤如下:
采用MOCVD方法在衬底层1上首先外延生长GaN沟道层2,包括先在较低温度(500~900℃)外延生长厚度为10~100nm的低温GaN层,生长压力为200~600mbar,然后升高温度(1000~1300℃)继续外延生长厚度为1~5μm的高温GaN层,生长压力为200~600mbar,低温GaN层和高温GaN层共同构成了GaN沟道层2。之后降温至750~850℃外延生长厚度为1~30nm的InAlGaN势垒层3,生长压力为400~600mbar,生长源为三甲基镓(TMGa)、三甲基铟(TMIn)、三甲基铝(TMAl)及高纯氨气(NH3)。
本发明的效果和益处:本发明方法可以获得a轴晶格匹配的InAlGaN/GaN异质结,消除势垒层与沟道层之间的晶格失配,可以解决目前高Al组分AlGaN/GaN基电子器件中由于晶格失配而导致的结晶质量下降问题,可显著降低强电场下短沟道电子器件的逆压电极化效应,同时在InAlGaN势垒层和GaN沟道层的异质结界面处具有更大的导带带阶,能够实现具有高密度二维电子气和高电导特性的无应变异质结结构。因此,本发明提出的InAlGaN/GaN异质结结构,可用于高频GaN基电子器件的制备。
