Description

Centrosymmetric double-row GaN Schottky diode
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of terahertz devices, in particular to a novel centrosymmetric double-row GaN Schottky diode.
Background
The terahertz wave is an electromagnetic wave with the frequency within the range of 100GHz-10THz, and a terahertz frequency doubling source can be realized at the low end of the terahertz frequency based on a Schottky diode. At present, a GaAs-based Schottky diode is commonly used, but the GaAs-based Schottky diode has breakdown resistance characteristics which are not as good as those of a GaN Schottky diode with a larger forbidden bandwidth, so that a technology for manufacturing a high-power terahertz source based on the GaN Schottky diode becomes a relatively potentially valuable technology. Currently, a common GaN schottky diode is in a diode form that is connected in series in the same direction or extends to two ends by using an intermediate bonding pad. When the Schottky junction diode is used for frequency doubling, the number of Schottky junctions needs to be increased in order to improve output power, and the endurance power of the Schottky diode can be increased by increasing the number of Schottky junctions in the transverse dimension or the longitudinal dimension.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem of how to provide a centrosymmetric double-row GaN Schottky diode which can improve the use yield, improve the power resistance characteristic and increase the output power.
In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: a centrosymmetric double-row GaN Schottky diode is characterized in that: the Schottky diode junction structure comprises a first bonding pad positioned in the middle and second bonding pads positioned on two sides of the first bonding pad, wherein two Schottky diode junctions are formed between the first bonding pad and the second bonding pad on the left side, two Schottky diode junctions are formed between the first bonding pad and the second bonding pad on the right side, the Schottky diode junctions are arranged along the front and back direction of the first bonding pad, a beam lead with the outer end being suspended is formed in the center of the upper surface of the first bonding pad, and the lengths of the suspended parts of the beam lead are equal.
The further technical scheme is as follows: the Schottky diode junction comprises a semi-insulating GaN substrate layer, a passivation layer is formed in the middle of the upper surface of the semi-insulating GaN substrate layer, heavily doped GaN layers are formed on the left side and the right side of the passivation layer respectively, ohmic contact metal layers are embedded in the heavily doped GaN layers on the left side and the right side, the upper surfaces of the ohmic contact metal layers are higher than the upper surfaces of the heavily doped GaN layers, the areas of the ohmic contact metal layers are smaller than those of the heavily doped GaN layers on the corresponding sides, low-doped GaN layers are formed on the upper surfaces of the heavily doped GaN layers without the ohmic contact metal layers, the heights of the low-doped GaN layers are higher than those of the ohmic contact metal layers, metal thickening layers are formed on the upper surfaces of the ohmic contact metal layers, silicon dioxide layers are formed on the upper surfaces of the low-doped GaN layers, and Schottky contact metal layers are embedded in the silicon dioxide layers on the left sides, and the Schottky contact metal layer is contacted with the low-doped GaN layer, the height of the metal thickening layer is higher than that of the silicon dioxide layer, and the metal thickening layer on the right side is connected with the Schottky contact metal layer through a metal air bridge.
Adopt the produced beneficial effect of above-mentioned technical scheme to lie in: the GaN Schottky diode adopting the novel structure can be applied to even frequency multiplication and odd frequency multiplication of millimeter wave and terahertz frequency bands. In order to facilitate welding, an upper beam lead and a lower beam lead can be introduced to the bonding pad between the two Schottky junctions in the middle, so that the assembly of the conductive adhesive is facilitated. The Schottky diode based on the novel structure can be used on trial without distinguishing the positive direction and the negative direction, and because the three welding pads are of pure metal structures in the welding process, the Schottky junction cannot be burnt, and the use yield of the Schottky diode is improved. In addition, the diode adopts a double-row Schottky junction structure, so that the power resistance characteristic to input power can be improved, and the output power can be increased.
