Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a gallium nitride power transistor with a longitudinal structure.
Background
Compared with a transverse structure transistor, the longitudinal structure power transistor is mainly subjected to pressure bearing by the drift layer, so that the breakdown voltage can be increased by increasing the thickness of the drift layer, meanwhile, the area of the device is kept unchanged, the wafer utilization rate is increased, and the power density of the device is improved. In addition, the peak electric field is moved from the surface to the interior of the device, so that the current collapse effect is weakened, and the reliability is improved.
In the GaN field effect transistor structure with various longitudinal structures, the groove MOSFET can reduce the leakage under the off-state withstand voltage through the p-type GaN current blocking layer, and reduce the grid leakage through the insulated oxide layer. However, in the conventional trench MOSFET structure, the current blocking layer is planar p-type GaN which is epitaxially grown together with the drift layer, as shown in fig. 1(a), the trench is usually formed by dry etching the epitaxial layer, and the structure and the related process still have some key problems which affect the electrical performance and reliability of the device:
(1) the reliability of the gate dielectric is reduced due to the overlarge electric field of the gate dielectric layer. GaN devices can operate at larger voltages due to the large forbidden bandwidth. When the groove MOSFET is in a larger off-state withstand voltage, a larger electric field exists in the gate dielectric layer. In addition, because the dry etching is difficult to control the etching depth, the bottom of the groove usually extends into the drift layer, and the electric field of the gate dielectric layer is further increased. On the other hand, grooves etched by dry etching may have sharper corners where the smaller radius of curvature causes electric field lines to be concentrated, as shown in fig. 2 (a). Under a larger gate dielectric layer electric field, a large number of interface state defects brought by etching can cause the insulation capability of the gate dielectric layer to be reduced, the grid leakage current is increased, the capture of electrons by defect states is intensified, and the reliability and the voltage resistance of a device are seriously reduced.
(2) The process of ion implantation to form pGaN presents difficulties. In a conventional Si, SiC based device, in order to reduce the large electric field intensity of the gate oxide, a deep pGaN well is usually formed on both sides of the trench by ion implantation to shield the electric field at the gate oxide, as shown in fig. 1(b) and fig. 2 (b). However, because the GaN material has the characteristics of high density, high hardness and the like, the conventional p-type ion implantation process cannot be directly grafted to the GaN longitudinal conduction device. On the other hand, activating the ion-implanted acceptor impurity Mg in GaN requires a high temperature of about 1300 ℃, which causes GaN to decompose at high temperature, resulting in nitrogen vacancies. In addition, the ion implantation also causes certain lattice damage, which degrades the device performance.
(3) The trench sidewall lattice damage introduced by dry etching further degrades channel electron mobility. When the groove MOSFET is started, a current channel is formed by inverting the heavily doped p-type GaN, ionized impurities of the heavily doped p-type GaN are scattered greatly, and the electron mobility of the channel of the groove MOSFET is smaller. The grooves of the conventional grooved MOSFET are usually formed by dry etching, which causes lattice damage on the surface of the groove, increases surface roughness scattering, further reduces the electron mobility of the channel, and further increases the on-resistance of the device.
