Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a method for manufacturing a gallium oxide pn diode, which can be used for electronic systems of communication, power electronics, signal processing and aerospace.
Technical Field
Gallium oxide is a novel ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor material, and the gallium oxide semiconductor material can be used for preparing a high-power device due to the characteristics of the wide bandgap of 4.6-4.9eV and the high critical breakdown field strength of 8 MV/cm. With the continuous progress of scientific technology, in the fields of communication, power electronics, signal processing, aerospace and the like, the performance of the traditional third-generation semiconductor GaN and SiC power devices cannot meet the requirement of higher working performance, and the gallium oxide power devices have lower on-resistance, lower power consumption and higher Bari plus merit figure under the same breakdown voltage.
At present, gallium oxide power devices mainly comprise diodes and triodes, wherein the diodes mainly comprise schottky diodes and heterojunction pn diodes. The pn diode is a p-n junction formed by a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor, forms space charge layers on both sides of the interface, is favorable for minority carrier operation, and is widely used for various rectifying circuits, detecting circuits, voltage stabilizing circuits and modulating circuits.
Due to the difficulty of achieving gallium oxide P-type doping, heterojunction pn-diodes are currently made mainly using other P-type semiconductor materials, such as nickel oxide, copper oxide, tin oxide in combination with n-type gallium oxide. Two very important device parameters for measuring the performance of a diode are reverse breakdown voltage and on-resistance, and the larger the reverse breakdown voltage is, or the smaller the on-resistance is, the better the performance of the device is. However, the forward characteristic and breakdown voltage of the gallium oxide diode at present are far from the limit of gallium oxide, and the barying plus optimum value BFOM of a gallium oxide device is far lower than an ideal value, so that the high-power output performance of the gallium oxide device is influenced, and the application of the gallium oxide device in the high-voltage field is limited.
Ma Xiao Hua et al, in patent document 202111069074.7 entitled "high breakdown voltage gallium oxide power diode and method for making same", propose to use thin NiO layer with P-type characteristic and beta-Ga 2 O 3 The drift layer forms a heterogeneous PN junction structure to reduce the peak electric field at the edge of the device, improve the interface characteristic of anode metal and gallium oxide, reduce reverse leakage current and improve the breakdown voltage of the gallium diode.
Luxing et al, in patent document 201710057175.X, a gallium oxide-based hetero PN junction diode and a method for manufacturing the same, propose to form a hetero PN junction by using an amorphous or polycrystalline p-type oxide semiconductor layer and a monocrystalline n-type doped gallium oxide voltage-resistant layer, so as to reduce reverse leakage current and improve the breakdown voltage of the gallium diode.
Although the two methods can improve the reverse breakdown voltage of the device, the forward on-resistance of the device is also seriously increased while the reverse breakdown voltage of the device is improved, and the barying optimum value of the device cannot be improved to the maximum.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a gallium oxide pn diode based on p-type doping concentration gradually changed from the center to the periphery and a preparation method thereof aiming at overcoming the defects of the prior art, so that the reverse breakdown voltage is improved, the on-resistance is reduced, and the barying plus merit value BFOM of a gallium oxide device is improved.
The technical idea of the invention is as follows: the p-type doping concentration of a p-type semiconductor layer in the pn junction is gradually changed from the center to the periphery, so that after the low-doped gallium oxide drift layer is contacted with the p-type semiconductor layer with the gradually changed doping concentration, the p-type semiconductor with high doping concentration at the periphery relieves the peak electric field at the edge of the gallium oxide drift layer and the p-type semiconductor with low doping concentration at the center relieves the peak electric field in the p-type semiconductor layer, and the breakdown voltage of the device is improved; meanwhile, ohmic contact is easier to form after the anode metal is contacted with the p-type semiconductor layer with high doping concentration, and the Bariga optimal value BFOM of the gallium oxide device is improved.

2. A manufacturing method of a gallium oxide pn diode based on P-type doping concentration gradually changed from the center to the periphery is characterized by comprising the following steps:

2) epitaxially forming a gallium oxide drift layer on the front side of the cleaned gallium oxide substrate by adopting a hydride vapor phase epitaxy technology (HVPE) method, depositing ohmic cathode metal on the back side by adopting magnetron sputtering in an argon atmosphere, and carrying out ohmic annealing on the ohmic cathode metal;

3b) setting the magnetron sputtering process conditions of 100-150W of power, 5-50 percent of oxygen to argon, 10-90 minutes of processing time, 4-10mtorr of pressure and 25 ℃ of ambient temperature;
3c) forming a circular P-type material with lower doping concentration by adopting magnetron sputtering deposition according to the circular pattern subjected to primary photoetching, and stripping off the P-type material deposited on the gallium oxide drift layer without the photoetching pattern;
3d) performing secondary photoetching on the front surface of the gallium oxide drift layer to form a circular ring pattern, increasing the proportion of oxygen to argon in a magnetron sputtering process, depositing a circular ring wrapping a circular P-type material deposited at the previous time by magnetron sputtering according to the circular ring pattern subjected to the secondary photoetching, wherein the P-type doping concentration is higher than that of the previous deposition, and stripping off the P-type material deposited at the position without the photoetching pattern on the gallium oxide drift layer;
3e) carrying out n times of photoetching on the front surface of the gallium oxide drift layer to form a ring pattern, improving the proportion of oxygen to argon in a magnetron sputtering process, depositing a ring wrapping a ring P-type material deposited by the previous n-1 deposition by adopting magnetron sputtering according to the ring pattern subjected to n times of photoetching, wherein the P-type doping concentration is higher than that of the previous n-1 deposition, and stripping off the P-type material deposited on the gallium oxide drift layer without the photoetching pattern; repeating the steps until the total width of the P-type material formed by deposition according to the photoetching pattern is equal to the width of the anode metal, forming a P-type semiconductor layer with doping concentration from the center to the periphery from low to high, wherein n is an integer greater than 2;
4) depositing a high-doping-concentration P-type semiconductor layer on the front surface of the P-type semiconductor layer with the doping concentration from the center to the periphery from low to high:

5) and forming an anode pattern on the front surface of the high-doping-concentration P-type semiconductor layer by adopting a photoetching process, and depositing anode metal by adopting electron beam evaporation according to the anode pattern to finish the manufacture of the device.

Secondly, the semiconductor with low doping concentration in the center of the P-type semiconductor layer with gradually changed doping concentration from the center to the periphery can relieve the internal peak electric field of the P-type semiconductor and improve the reverse breakdown voltage of the device.
Third, the high doping concentration p-type semiconductor layer can form excellent ohmic contact after contacting with the anode metal above the p-type semiconductor layer, thereby reducing the on-resistance.
