Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following effects:
according to the invention, the gallium nitride sample is treated by the mixed solution of hydrogen peroxide and alkali liquor, so that not only can silicon pollutants on the surface of gallium nitride be etched, but also a uniform compact oxide film can be formed, the surface of gallium nitride is prevented from being directly exposed in the air, and the surface of gallium nitride is prevented from being polluted by silicon impurities in the air again; and then the gallium nitride sample is subjected to heat treatment in a mixed atmosphere, so that an oxide film on the surface of the gallium nitride can be decomposed, pollutants and the oxide film can be evaporated and taken away along with airflow, and an atomic-level clean gallium nitride surface is obtained, so that the subsequent secondary epitaxial growth is facilitated, the leakage current phenomenon can be reduced, and the reliability of a gallium nitride device is improved.
