Abstract
After depositing a gallium nitride cap layer and doping Mg impurities by using a traditional preparation method, the nitride cap layer under a non-grid electrode is not further etched, but an n-type doped GaN protective layer is formed by continuously depositing and etching, and then the gallium nitride cap layer under the grid electrode is annealed, so that the Mg impurities are activated to form the P-type nitride cap layer. The original Mg doped nitride cap layer activated below the gate electrode exhausts two-dimensional electron gas in a channel under the gate, so that the threshold voltage of the device is improved, and the device is enhanced. Compared with the dry etching process adopted by the conventional P-type nitride enhanced HEMT device, the preparation method avoids the dry etching step during the manufacturing, reduces the damage of etching to the surface of the barrier layer, and reduces the dynamic resistance degradation and reliability degradation caused by the surface state; the uniformity and batch repeatability in the chip of the product are improved, and the yield of the product is improved.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a P-type nitride enhanced HEMT device and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Gallium nitride is a typical material of third-generation semiconductors, has a large forbidden band width (3.4eV), high electron mobility and high electron saturation velocity, and has a wide application potential in the fields of next-generation radio frequency devices, power electrical devices and the like. Particularly, gallium nitride materials and other group III-V nitride materials (e.g., AlGaN) can form High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) having a heterojunction structure because spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization effects characteristic of nitride materials form a high concentration (1 × 10) at the heterojunction interface 13 cm -2 ) And high mobility (2000 cm) 2 V.s), and thus GaN HEMT has the characteristics of high breakdown voltage, low on-resistance, high switching frequency, small size and the like, and has become a future power switch due to the characteristics of high frequency, high efficiency, high temperature resistance, small size and the likeOne of the important candidates for a device. The P-type nitride enhanced HEMT is taken as a first-generation GaN power switch device and has important application in the fields of future wireless charging, envelope tracking, laser radar, electric vehicles and the like.
Because the concentration of 2DEG (two-dimensional electron gas) at the nitride heterojunction interface is very high and is formed when the heterojunction structure is formed, and the gate Schottky barrier of the device cannot completely exhaust the 2DEG below the gate, the prepared nitride high electron mobility device is depletion type, and a certain reverse voltage is required to be applied to the gate to ensure that the two-dimensional electron gas in the channel of the device is depleted to reach an off state. However, when the gallium nitride-based HEMT is applied to various high-power applications as a power electronic device, an enhancement transistor is usually preferred to ensure the safe operation of the power electronic system and reduce the requirements of a negative voltage generating circuit and a protection circuit, thereby simplifying the circuit and system design, reducing static power consumption and the like.
Currently, reported methods for implementing a gallium nitride based enhancement type HEMT device include a Cascode structure, a thin barrier layer, a trench gate, a pn junction under the gate, fluorine plasma implantation under the gate, and the like, wherein a P-type gallium nitride is taken as a gate cap layer (see fig. 1, fig. 2, and fig. 3) because of its excellence in high threshold voltage (about 2V), high gate voltage swing, good threshold voltage stability, and the like, so that the P-type gallium nitride is favored by the industry, and has become a main method for implementing a gallium nitride based enhancement type HEMT device.
However, the technology still has defects at present, and since various research institutions and enterprises at present basically adopt a dry etching method to prepare a P-nitride enhanced device, the P-nitride enhanced device is usually prepared based on an AlGaN/GaN heterojunction material, and a P-cap layer required in the device is a region below a gate electrode, the nitride cap layer needs to be etched in a large-area and very precise dry etching manner, and even if P-nitride residues of several nm or over-etching of a barrier layer can have serious influence on a channel region of the device. However, the etching selection ratio of the current dry etching process to the P-type nitride cap layer and the barrier layer is not very high, and meanwhile, the etching effect in the ICP dry etching, such as the micro-trench effect, the load effect and the like, can have important influences on the uniformity, the yield and the like of the device. In addition, a plasma physical bombardment process exists in the ICP dry etching, so that the barrier layer can be damaged by plasma in the etching process, and the performance of the device is further influenced.
