Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, including:
s100, a semiconductor stack 20 is formed on the substrate 10.
Referring to fig. 4, a semiconductor stack 20 is formed on a substrate 10. Illustratively, the semiconductor stack 20 may be deposited by metal organic chemical vapor deposition on the substrate 10. The semiconductor stack 20 may include a nucleation layer, a buffer layer, a channel layer, and a barrier layer, which are sequentially formed on the substrate 10. Specifically, the materials of the substrate 10 and the semiconductor stacked layer 20 may be selected by those skilled in the art, and the present application is not limited thereto.
S200, forming a source ohmic metal 31 and a drain ohmic metal 32 on the stacked semiconductor layer 20 at intervals, as shown in fig. 5.
Step S200 may be performed by performing electron beam evaporation to entirely evaporate metal on the semiconductor stacked layer 20, and then removing metal in the remaining region by peeling, and leaving the source ohmic metal 31 in the source region and the drain ohmic metal 32 in the drain region; then, the source ohmic metal 31 and the drain ohmic metal 32 are alloyed by performing a high temperature heat treatment (typically, a temperature greater than 500 ℃) to form ohmic contacts with the underlying semiconductor stack 20.
Illustratively, the source ohmic metal 31 and the drain ohmic metal 32 may be stacked materials, for example, Ti layer/Al layer/Ni layer/Au layer 42 may be sequentially stacked.
And S300, forming a seed metal layer 41 covering the source ohmic metal 31 and the drain ohmic metal 32 on the semiconductor stacked layer 20.
The seed metal layer 41 is a bottom metal layer of the gate metal 40. Typically, the gate metal 40 includes a seed metal layer 41 and an Au layer 42 on the seed metal layer 41.
For example, in the present embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the step S300 of forming the seed metal layer 41 covering the source ohmic metal 31 and the drain ohmic metal 32 on the semiconductor stacked layer 20 specifically includes the following steps:
and S310, forming a passivation layer 92 covering the source ohmic metal 31 and the drain ohmic metal 32 on the semiconductor stacked layer 20.
In this step, the passivation layer 92 is formed on the semiconductor stack 20 in a whole layer, and the passivation layer 92 covers the source ohmic metal 31 and the drain ohmic metal 32. The passivation layer 92 may be formed by plasma vapor deposition.
S320, the passivation layer 92 is etched to form a gate trench 921 exposing the semiconductor stacked layer 20 on the passivation layer 92, as shown in fig. 6.
The passivation layer 92 is etched to form the gate groove 921, which may be implemented by a dry etching process.
And S330, depositing a seed metal layer 41 covering the gate groove 921 on the passivation layer 92, as shown in FIG. 7.
At this time, the seed metal layer 41 will cover the passivation layer 92 and the exposed semiconductor stack 20 (i.e., the region where the gate groove 921 is located). The seed metal layer 41 will serve as the underlying metal for the gate metal 40. Illustratively, the seed metal layer 41 may be a Ni layer.
S400, forming a photoresist layer 50 on the seed metal layer 41, and forming a first window 51 on the photoresist layer 50, wherein the first window 51 is located between the source ohmic metal 31 and the drain ohmic metal 32, as shown in fig. 8.
The first window 51 may be formed by exposing and developing the photoresist layer 50, and the technical means is well known to those skilled in the art, so that the detailed description thereof is omitted.
S500, depositing the Au layer 42 in the first window 51, as shown in fig. 9.
The deposition of the Au layer 42 may be formed by depositing an Au material by electrodeposition in the first window 51. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the seed metal layer 41 and the Au layer 42 together form the gate metal 40 of the semiconductor device.
S600, baking the photoresist layer 50 to shrink the photoresist layer 50 to form a gap 60 between the Au layer 42 and the photoresist layer 50, as shown in fig. 10.
Since the photoresist layer 50 can be shrunk by baking the photoresist layer 50 at a suitable temperature and time according to the characteristics of the photoresist layer 50, the gap 60 is formed between the Au layer 42 and the photoresist layer 50 in step S600, so as to facilitate the subsequent preparation of the metal barrier layer 70 in the gap 60.
The temperature and time for baking the photoresist layer 50 should be reasonably selected, and too high baking temperature and too long baking time can cause the photoresist layer 50 to be denatured and cannot be removed cleanly; too low a baking temperature and too short a baking time will result in insufficient shrinkage of the photoresist layer 50 and too small a gap 60 between the Au layer 42 and the photoresist layer 50. In this embodiment, optionally, the step S600 of baking the photoresist layer 50 to shrink the photoresist layer 50 so as to form the gap 60 between the Au layer 42 and the photoresist layer 50 may be implemented by:
the photoresist layer 50 is baked under conditions of a baking temperature between 120 ℃ and 150 ℃ and a baking time between 5min and 10min to shrink the photoresist layer 50 to form a gap 60 between the Au layer 42 and the photoresist layer 50.
Illustratively, the baking temperature may be 120 ℃, 130 ℃, 140 ℃, 150 ℃, or the like. The baking time can be 5min, 6min, 8min, 10min and the like, which are not listed in the application.
S700, a metal barrier layer 70 is formed on the slit 60 and the Au layer 42, as shown in fig. 11.
That is, as shown in fig. 11, the metal barrier layer 70 is attached to the gap 60 between the Au layer 42 and the photoresist layer 50 and the upper surface of the Au layer 42, so that the metal barrier layer 70 completely covers the Au layer 42, thereby preventing Au in the Au layer 42 from migrating toward the source field plates 90. The material of the metal barrier layer 70 is a material capable of blocking Au migration, and the material of the metal barrier layer 70 is, for example, any one of Pd, W, and TiW.
In this embodiment, the width B of the gap formed in step S600 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the metal barrier layer 70. That is, the metal barrier layer 70 may fill the entire gap 60 or may fill a portion of the gap 60. For ease of fabrication, in this embodiment, the width B of the gap may be selected to be equal to the thickness of the metallic barrier layer 70.
Also, in the present embodiment, the thickness of the portion of the metal barrier layer 70 located on the sidewall of the Au layer 42 and the portion located on the upper surface of the Au layer 42 should be uniform, so that the metal barrier layer 70 is uniform.
In addition, optionally, the step S700 of forming the metal barrier layer 70 on the slit 60 and the Au layer 42 includes:
a metal barrier layer 70 is formed on the slit 60 and the Au layer 42 using a pulse plating process.
The pulse plating method can improve the thickness uniformity of the metal barrier layer 70 on the surface of the gate metal 40. Alternatively, the duty cycle of the pulse current used for pulse plating may be between 0.1% and 20%.
And S800, respectively removing the photoresist layer 50 and the exposed seed metal layer 41, as shown in FIG. 12.
The specific manner of removing the photoresist layer 50 and the exposed seed metal layer 41 is not limited in this application, and dry etching or wet etching may be used, and those skilled in the art may select the method according to actual requirements.

Referring to fig. 14, a dielectric layer 91 is disposed between the source field plate 90 and the metal barrier layer 70. Alternatively, the dielectric layer 91 and the passivation layer 92 may be both made of SiN.
Also, the source interconnection metal 81, the drain interconnection metal 82, and the source field plate 90 may be all stacked metals, and the stacked metals include the Ti layer and the Au layer 42 formed in this order.

The process for forming the dielectric layer 91 may be a plasma vapor deposition process.
S920, the dielectric layer 91 and the passivation layer 92 are sequentially etched to form a second window exposing the source ohmic metal 31 and a third window exposing the drain ohmic metal 32, as shown in fig. 13.
The sizes of the second window and the third window are determined according to the sizes of the source interconnection metal 81 and the drain interconnection metal 82 which need to be formed subsequently, and the application is not limited.
