Description
技术领域
本申请涉及微电子技术领域,具体涉及一种半导体结构的制备方法。
背景技术
高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT,High Electron Mobility Transistor)是一种异质结场效应晶体管,以AlGaN/GaN异质结构为例,由于AlGaN/GaN异质结构中存在较强的二维电子气,通常AlGaN/GaN HEMT是耗尽型器件,使得增强型器件不易实现。而在许多地方耗尽型器件的应用又具有一定的局限性,比如在功率开关器件的应用中,就需要增强型(常关型)开关器件。增强型氮化镓开关器件主要用于高频器件、功率开关器件和数字电路等,它的研究具有十分重要的意义。
实现增强型氮化镓开关器件,需要找到合适的方法来降低零栅压时栅极下方的沟道载流子浓度,例如通过在栅极区域设置p型半导体材料。但是发明人发现该方法至少有如下缺陷:
栅极区域设置p型半导体材料,需要选择性刻蚀栅极以外的其他区域的p型半导体,而在外延方向上刻蚀厚度的精确工艺控制是非常难的,非常容易对p型半导体过刻而刻蚀到其下方的半导体材料,而且刻蚀中带来的缺陷,会引起严重的电流崩塌效应,同样会影响到器件的稳定性和可靠性。
发明内容
有鉴于此,本发明提供一种半导体结构的制备方法,避免电流崩塌效应,提高器件的稳定性和可靠性,包括:
在衬底上依次制备沟道层、势垒层及p型半导体层;
在所述p型半导体层上方的栅极区域制备介质层;以及
在所述p型半导体层上方的栅极区域以外的区域制备n型半导体层;
激活介质层覆盖的p型半导体层中的p型杂质,形成激活区域。
在本发明一实施例中,所述的半导体结构的制备方法还包括:去除介质层,在p型半导体层的激活区域的上方制备栅极。
在本发明一实施例中,所述的半导体结构的制备方法还包括:在所述栅极区域两侧制备源极、漏极,其中所述源极、漏极贯穿所述n型半导体层、p型半导体层。
可以理解的是,本发明对所述源极、漏极与栅极的制备顺序不限定。
本发明提供的半导体结构的制备方法,通过选择性外延生长的方法,不需要对n型半导体层以及p型半导体层进行刻蚀,避免了刻蚀深度无法控制、刻蚀表面损伤等问题;有效减少栅极漏电,保持沟道区域低电阻,抑制电流崩塌,提高器件可靠性、稳定性。
附图说明
图1-6分别为本申请一实施例提供的半导体结构在制备过程中的分解示意图。
具体实施方式
以下将结合附图所示的具体实施方式对本申请进行详细描述。但这些实施方式并不限制本申请,本领域的普通技术人员根据这些实施方式所做出的结构、方法、或功能上的变换均包含在本申请的保护范围内。
此外,在不同的实施例中可能使用重复的标号或标示。这些重复仅为了简单清楚地叙述本申请,不代表所讨论的不同实施例和/或结构之间具有任何关联性。
本申请的一实施例中提供了一种半导体结构的制备方法,具体步骤如下。
步骤1:如图1a所示,在衬底1上依次制备沟道层21、势垒层22以及p型半导体层23。
衬底1优选自蓝宝石、金刚石、碳化硅、硅、铌酸锂、绝缘衬底硅(SOI)、氮化镓或氮化铝。
沟道层21和势垒层22为可形成二维电子气的半导体材料即可。沟道层21和势垒层22可例如为GaN基材料,所谓GaN基材料即至少包含Ga原子和N原子的化合物。例如,沟道层21可采用GaN,势垒层22可采用AlGaN,沟道层21和势垒层22构成异质结构以形成二维电子气。
所述p型半导体层23包括GaN基材料,如在GaN中掺杂p型杂质,如Mg。
在本申请一实施例中,如图1b所示,在生长沟道层21之前,还可在衬底1上依次生长成核层31和缓冲层32。以GaN基半导体结构为例,成核层31可降低位错密度和缺陷密度,提升晶体质量。该成核层31可为AlN、AlGaN和GaN中的一种或多种。缓冲层32可缓冲衬底上方外延结构中的应力,避免外延结构开裂。该缓冲层32可包括GaN、AlGaN、AlInGaN中的一种或多种。
沟道层21、势垒层22以及p型半导体层23可以通过原位生长,也可以是通过原子层沉积(ALD,Atomic layer deposition)、或化学气相沉积(CVD,Chemical VaporDeposition)、或分子束外延生长(MBE,Molecular Beam Epitaxy)、或等离子体增强化学气相沉积法(PECVD,Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition)、或低压化学蒸发沉积(LPCVD,Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition),或金属有机化合物化学气相沉积(MOCVD,Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition)、或其组合方式制得。应该理解,这里描述形成沟道层21、势垒层22,本申请可以通过本领域的技术人员公知的任何方法形成沟道层、势垒层及半导体层。
步骤2:如图2所示,在p型半导体层23上方的栅极区域制备介质层24。
在所述p型半导体层23上形成介质层,刻蚀p型半导体层23上方的栅极区域以外区域的介质层,使得只在p型半导体层23上方的栅极区域形成介质层24,所述介质层24覆盖栅极区域下方的p型半导体层23。
步骤3:如图3所示,在所述p型半导体层23上方的栅极区域以外的区域制备n型半导体层25。
选择性生长n型半导体层25,只在p型半导体层23上方的栅极区域以外的区域形成n型半导体层25,所述n型半导体层25覆盖栅极区域以外区域的p型半导体层23。
进一步的,所述n型半导体层包括n型GaN基半导体层,如在GaN中掺杂n型杂质,形成n-GaN。
步骤4:如图4所示,激活介质层24覆盖的p型半导体层中的p型杂质,形成激活区域231。
本实施例中,可以选择对外延结构进行退火来形成激活区域,所述退火包括在无氢环境进行,选择性激活介质层24覆盖的p型半导体层23中的p型杂质,形成激活区域231;而被n型半导体层25覆盖的p型半导体层23,由于n型半导体层25的阻挡,H原子无法溢出,p型半导体层中的p型杂质无法被激活,形成非激活区域232。可以理解的是,所述激活区域231可以大于覆盖p型半导体层23的介质层24,可以小于覆盖p型半导体层23的介质层24,也可以等于覆盖p型半导体层23的介质层24,本案中对所述激活区域231的大小不做限制。
本实施例中,形成激活区域231的具体方式为在无氢退火环境中,p型半导体层23中氢成分通过介质层24溢出,激活了p型半导体层23中的p型杂质。而被n型半导体层25覆盖的p型半导体层23,由于n型半导体层25的阻挡,H原子在退火环境无法溢出,与p型半导体层中的p型杂质键合(比如Mg-H),p型半导体层中的p型杂质无法激活,形成非激活区域232。
本申请对于介质层的材料种类不做特别限制,所述介质层24的材料种类只需满足:在激活p型半导体层中的p型杂质过程中,保证H原子的溢出,具体地,形成激活区域231之后,所述介质层24中的H含量可例如不大于10%。所述介质层可例如为SiO2、Al2O3中的至少一种。
步骤5:如图5所示,去除介质层24,在p型半导体层23的激活区域231的上方制备栅极43。
所述介质层24可通过湿法刻蚀来去除,在介质层24去除的位置,即激活区域231上方沉积栅极材料形成栅极43。
进一步的,所述半导体结构的制备方法还包括步骤6:如图6所示,在源极区域和漏极区域制备源极41、漏极42,所述源极41、漏极42贯穿n型半导体层、p型半导体层。
具体的,可在栅极两侧刻蚀凹槽,所述凹槽贯穿n型半导体层25、p型半导体层23的非激活区域232,停止于势垒层22;在凹槽中沉积金属制备源极、漏极,形成欧姆接触。
进一步的,所述凹槽的刻蚀方法可为干法刻蚀。
可以理解的是,所述步骤5与所述步骤6的顺序是可以调换的,即所述源极、栅极、漏极制备的先后顺序是不限定的,只要在外延结构上形成栅极、源极、漏极即可。
本发明提供的半导体结构的制备方法,通过选择性外延生长的方法,不需要对n型半导体层以及p型半导体层进行刻蚀,避免了刻蚀深度无法控制、刻蚀表面损伤等问题;有效减少栅极漏电,保持沟道区域低电阻,抑制电流崩塌,提高器件可靠性、稳定性。
应当理解,虽然本说明书按照实施方式加以描述,但并非每个实施方式仅包含一个独立的技术方案,说明书的这种叙述方式仅仅是为清楚起见,本领域技术人员应当将说明书作为一个整体,各实施方式中的技术方案也可以经适当组合,形成本领域技术人员可以理解的其他实施方式。
上文所列出的一系列的详细说明仅仅是针对本申请的可行性实施方式的具体说明,它们并非用以限制本申请的保护范围,凡未脱离本申请技艺精神所作的等效实施方式或变更均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
