Description

Normally-off HMET device with on-chip gate bounce protection
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of transistors, in particular to a normally-off HMET device with on-chip gate bounce protection.
Background
With the development of high-voltage switches and high-speed radio frequency circuits, gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors (gan hemts) become the focus of research in the field, conventional gan hemts are all depletion type (normally-on type), the threshold voltage is less than 0V, and a negative turn-on voltage is required. When the radio frequency and microwave chip is designed, the design cost is increased by the power supply design of the negative grid voltage; the threshold voltage of the enhancement mode (normally-off mode) HEMT is positive, and in practical application, only one positive bias voltage is needed to enable the enhancement mode (normally-off mode) HEMT to work or be pinched off. Thus, the circuit design of negative bias voltage can be eliminated, the circuit is simplified, and the complexity of the circuit design and the preparation cost are reduced. The method has great significance for the application of large-scale microwave radio frequency circuits. For the power switch circuit, the enhancement type HEMT device ensures that the HEMT device is in a turn-off state when the drive circuit fails, thereby providing failure protection for the power switch system.
It is desirable to deplete the 2-dimensional electron gas on top of the channel layer (typically GaN or AlGaN material) under the schottky gate without bias. Currently, the following methods are generally used:
the method comprises the following steps: a groove gate, namely, a barrier layer (usually, AlGaN) is thinned at a gate electrode to form a pit, and then a schottky gate (MESFET) or dielectric gate (MISFET) structure is made, so that a depletion region at zero bias extends to a 2-dimensional electron gas region;
the method 2 comprises the following steps: fluorine ion implantation, wherein local fluorine ion implantation is performed under a grid, and a depletion region under zero bias is increased to extend to a 2-dimensional electron gas region;
the method 3 comprises the following steps: and epitaxially growing a layer of p-type doped GaN material on the barrier layer. And a potential barrier (which is an intrinsic layer substantially opposite to the P layer) to form a PN junction, and 2-dimensional electron gas at the top of the channel layer under the gate is depleted by a deeper depletion layer of the PN junction. Then the P layer outside the gate region is removed, so that the 2D electron gas outside the gate region is recovered. And then schottky or ohmic contact is formed on top of the P layer.
Both of the first and second methods irreversibly alter (remove or modify) the gate barrier material, making process control of the degree difficult. This causes threshold voltage dispersion, irreversible increase in local on-resistance, and other reliability problems.
The third method is characterized in that the purpose of extending the depletion layer downwards is achieved by using a PN junction formed by epitaxial additional growth, the process controllability is good, and an additional P layer structure is generally called as a P-GaN structure.
Compared with a normally-on device, the normally-off device has own specific structural performance and application design, and also has own specific reliability problem and a solution thereof. In the application process, source-drain overcurrent and gate voltage exceeding range caused by various reasons are common phenomena, the device can be caused to fail or be degraded, intervention must be found immediately, and particularly, the p-GaN device has low threshold voltage and narrow gate voltage range, and the condition is more prominent.
In the microwave radio frequency field and the power electronic field, devices face the problem of overvoltage protection. After the device is formed, it may be exposed to electrostatic breakdown (ESD) during subsequent processing, transportation and installation. In addition, in use, the driving voltage signal may generate glitches for various reasons (such as electromagnetic interference, etc.), and transient peaks exceed the rated driving voltage signal range. In addition, the source-drain voltage can be influenced by the circuit to be over-voltage and over-current.
On-chip protection is one type of effective on-site real-time protection. It is an additional protection design in chip device, and is characterized by that the trigger signal is from field instead of external, and has no defects of error trigger and time delay, and its execution is quick and effective. The disadvantages are that it takes up some real estate and that trigger sampling affects a number of parasitic parameters of the device, such as voltage sampling that is typically done to increase parasitic capacitance. An On-chip (On-chip) protection mechanism is a circuit design which emphasizes On fast execution in the field, and if sampling is also carried out in the On-chip field, the On-chip protection mechanism also has the advantage of fast response speed, and is particularly important for GaN devices with relatively poor reliability at present. The disadvantage is that it takes up some real estate and the trigger sampling affects some parasitic parameters of the device, such as the voltage sampling that is typically done increases parasitic capacitance.
Therefore, a design is urgently needed to improve the ESD reliability between the gate and the source of the p-gan hemt device, so that the p-gan hemt device reaches the ESD reliability standard and meets the on-chip overload protection: small area, small influence on parasitic parameters, or controllable operation, reversing them as a regulating mechanism.

The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and illustrated in the figures herein may be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations
Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, presented in the figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 6, further description will be made in conjunction with the following embodiments, in which a diode assembly is formed by connecting a plurality of diodes in series, and the schematic diagrams are presented only as a single diode for simplicity.

The specific working principle is as follows: a rebound tube is added on the main device, so that an overload signal inside the main device or an external overload signal can be read, the grid voltage of the main device is rapidly triggered to return to zero, the main device is turned off, the cutoff is cut off, and meanwhile, the grid of the main device is protected from being damaged by continuous overvoltage.
The more specific idea is to add a low-voltage-withstanding rebound tube between the gate sources of the first enhancement type P-gan hemt device, namely, a second enhancement type P-gan hemt device, wherein the source and drain of the second enhancement type P-gan hemt device are respectively connected with the source and gate of the first enhancement type P-gan hemt device. The gates of the second enhancement mode P-gan hemt device may be connected to different control terminals according to design.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: the structure of the rebound tube is similar to that of a main device, the rebound tube is manufactured together by the same technological process, the difference is that the rebound tube has low voltage resistance, the gate-drain distance of the rebound tube is small, and in addition, the rebound tube is used as a voltage-controlled device and does not need to provide large current and electric quantity, so the occupied area is small, the influence of on-resistance does not need to be considered, the structure can be designed by taking threshold engineering as a starting point, and the structure can be but is not limited to the following modes: 1) adjusting the distance between source and gate, 2) the relative relation between the gate metal and the P layer; 3) a multi-gate structure; 4) gate-source bridge, 5) input PN tube series, etc., the gate contact of the snapback tube may be made an ohmic contact instead of a schottky contact commonly used for the main device for convenience of voltage design.
Example 2
