Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor materials, and particularly relates to a growth method of an epitaxial material of a nitride high electron mobility transistor.
Background
Gallium nitride (GaN) -based high electron mobility field effect transistor (HEMT) is a novel electronic device based on nitride heterostructure, AlGaN/GaN HEMT material formed by adopting aluminum gallium nitrogen (AlGaN) as potential barrier is a current commonly-used material system, and benefits from stronger polarization characteristic and band gap difference of AlGaN/GaN heterojunction, and the two-dimensional electron gas (2 DEG) surface density in heterojunction quantum well reaches 10 12 And in the magnitude, the channel electron is controlled by the Schottky gate voltage to realize work. The device has the excellent characteristics of high frequency and high power, is widely applied to the fields of information receiving and transmitting, energy conversion and the like of wireless communication base stations, power electronic devices and the like, and accords with the current development concepts of energy conservation, environmental protection and low carbon.
The AlGaN/GaN heterojunction two-dimensional electron gas mobility is one of key factors influencing the power characteristics of an HEMT device, and the higher carrier mobility is beneficial to improving the working current of the device. Two-dimensional electron gas in AlGaN/GaN heterojunctionMobility is limited by a number of scattering mechanisms, including mainly: lattice scattering, interface scattering, alloy disorder scattering, and the like. At room temperature, the AlGaN/GaN heterojunction 2DEG mobility is generally 1400-1600 cm 2 /Vs。
Researches show that the AlGaN/GaN HEMT material 2DEG mobility is closely related to the steepness of heterojunction interface components, the higher the Al component on one side of the heterojunction interface AlGaN is, the deeper the formed potential well is, the stronger the 2DEG confinement is, and the smaller the probability of entering the AlGaN layer through the potential barrier is, so that the disordered scattering of the alloy is reduced, and the 2DEG mobility is improved. However, in the initial stage of growing the AlGaN barrier layer, since the growth surface temperature is high and reaches 1000 degrees or more, Ga atoms decomposed by the GaN buffer layer may diffuse into the AlGaN barrier layer near the heterojunction interface, thereby lowering the Al composition. As the AlGaN thickness increases, Ga diffusion decreases, and the Al composition gradually rises to the design value and stabilizes. Due to the diffusion of Ga atoms, the Al component of the AlGaN barrier layer close to the channel is lower than the design value, the depth of a heterojunction potential well is reduced, the overflow degree of channel electrons is increased, the alloy scattering is increased, and the 2DEG mobility is reduced.
By inserting a layer of 1-2nm AlN between AlGaN/GaN heterojunction, 2DEG mobility can be increased to 2000cm 2 Over Vs. However, the introduction of the AlN insertion layer obviously raises the barrier height of the surface of the AlGaN/GaN heterojunction, and increases the difficulty of the ohmic contact process in the manufacturing process of the HEMT device. The ohmic contact resistance is the most dominant parasitic resistance of the HEMT device and is one of the key factors affecting the frequency characteristics of the device.
Therefore, how to effectively improve the two-dimensional electron gas mobility of the channel of the HEMT material for the GaN high-frequency power device without influencing the barrier height of the surface of the AlGaN/GaN heterojunction is an important subject of material design and epitaxial process.

The invention adopts a two-step method to grow the AlGaN barrier layer, and aims to improve the consistency of Al components of the barrier layer along the growth direction. The gradient mode and the initial value of the AlGaN of the first layer need to be optimized according to different types of epitaxial equipment and growth processes, and the consistency of the Al component of the AlGaN barrier layer along the growth direction is taken as an evaluation standard.
