Detailed Description
In order to describe the technical contents, the achieved objects and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description will be made with reference to the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a method for manufacturing a power diode includes the following steps:
s1: sequentially growing a buffer layer, a GaN layer, an AlGaN layer, a lightly doped GaN layer and a heavily doped GaN layer on a substrate to obtain an epitaxial wafer;
s2: etching to expose part of AlGaN layer, and preparing cathode electrode on the heavily doped GaN layer; an anode electrode was prepared on the bare AlGaN layer.
From the above description, the beneficial effects of the invention are as follows: the invention provides a preparation method of a novel power diode, and the power diode prepared by the method has a horizontal structure, so that the anode and the cathode are well conducted, meanwhile, a heavily doped GaN layer and a lightly doped GaN layer are designed at the cathode position, the advantages of a vertical structure are achieved, and a higher breakdown voltage is achieved while good electric contact is achieved.
The lightly doped gallium nitride layer has two functions, on one hand, the barrier layer AlGaN is protected, the influence of surface defects and the like is reduced, and on the other hand, the breakdown resistance is improved by thickening the thickness of the GaN layer; the heavily doped GaN layer has the main effects of reducing contact resistance, improving ohmic contact capability and reducing concentration of a reverse electric field. The order of the lightly doped GaN layer and the heavily doped GaN layer cannot be changed, the work function of the gallium nitride is high, ohmic contact is difficult to form between the gallium nitride and the metal electrode, and the heavily doped gallium nitride can exert the maximum effect only by being directly connected with the metal electrode, so that good ohmic contact is realized.
Further selecting homogeneous GaN or AlN substrate.
From the above description, it is clear that the homogeneous substrate has small defect density and lattice mismatch of GaN and AlN epitaxial materials, and epitaxial growth is relatively easy, which is advantageous for improving crystal quality and improving the working capacity of the power semiconductor device.
Further, the growth of the lightly doped GaN layer is performed in a reaction chamber, and the electron concentration in the reaction chamber is 1×10 16 ~5*10 16 cm -3 。
Further, the thickness of the lightly doped GaN layer is 0.5-3 μm.
From the above description, the lightly doped GaN layer has the function of improving breakdown resistance, and the lightly doped GaN layer has low doping concentration and slightly thick thickness, which are all in a certain interval. The lightly doped GaN layer is too thick or the doping concentration is too low, so that the series resistance is obviously increased, the loss is increased, the effect is difficult to generate if the lightly doped GaN layer is too thin, and the doping concentration needs to balance the intrinsic carrier concentration to realize the maximization of the effect.
Further, growing the heavily doped GaN layer is performed in a reaction chamber with an electron concentration of 1×10 18 ~5*10 18 cm -3 。
From the above description, it is known that the heavily doped GaN layer needs a larger doping amount, and the main effect is to reduce the contact resistance.
Further, the thickness of the heavily doped GaN layer is 0.2-1 μm.
Further, the substrate is placed in a reaction chamber, the reaction chamber is treated for 5-10 min by using hydrogen atmosphere at 1000 ℃, and then the growth of S1 is carried out.
As is apparent from the above description, this step is used to remove surface particles, organic matters, and the like remaining on the surface portion of the substrate.
Further, the growth of the buffer layer is performed in a reaction chamber at a temperature of 400-600 ℃ and a pressure of 400-600 Torr.
Further, the thickness of the buffer layer is 0.5 to 3 μm.
From the above description, the substrate is the basis of epitaxial structure growth, and heteroepitaxy has a plurality of optional substrate types, and due to the non-uniformity of crystal lattices, a gallium nitride buffer layer is required to realize the crystal lattice transformation of subsequent GaN growth, so that a high-quality epitaxial layer is obtained.
Further, the growth of the GaN layer is performed in a reaction chamber at a temperature of 1000-1100 ℃ and a pressure of 100-500 Torr.
Further, the GaN layer has a thickness of 0.5 to 2.0 μm.
From the above description, the GaN layer further optimizes the growth process, and improves the quality of gallium nitride crystal.
Further, the GaN layer is grown in a reaction chamber, the temperature of the reaction chamber is 1000-1200 ℃, and the pressure is 100-500 Torr.
Further, the thickness of the GaN layer is 50-500 nm.
Preferably, the thickness of the GaN layer is 200-300 nm.
Further, the AlGaN layer is grown in a reaction chamber, the temperature of the reaction chamber is 1000-1200 ℃, the pressure is 50-150 Torr, and the Al molar content is 7% -30%.
Further, the AlGaN layer has a thickness of 3 to 25 μm.
Preferably, the AlGaN layer has a thickness of 15 to 20 μm.
From the above description, gaN and AlGaN layers are used to realize polarization, which is a key structure for generating two-dimensional electron gas.
Further, the distance between the lightly doped GaN layer and the anode electrode is 3-50 μm.
From the above description, it is clear that the anode and the lightly/heavily doped layers are spatially separated, and that large leakage is likely to occur if the distance is too close to the strong electric field.

The order of the lightly doped GaN layer 7 and the heavily doped GaN layer 7 cannot be changed, the work function of the gallium nitride is high, ohmic contact is difficult to form between the gallium nitride and the metal electrode, and the heavily doped gallium nitride can exert the maximum effect only by being directly connected with the metal electrode, so that good ohmic contact is realized.
The power diode of the invention obtains a novel semiconductor device after packaging protection is finished, the on-resistance of the semiconductor device is equivalent to that of a horizontal structure, but the breakdown voltage is improved by 1-2.5 compared with that of a similar horizontal structure, and the power diode is suitable for high-voltage application and application scenes with high reliability requirements such as new energy automobiles, rail transit, photovoltaics, data centers and the like.
The foregoing description is only illustrative of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and all equivalent changes made by the specification and drawings of the present invention, or direct or indirect application in the relevant art, are included in the scope of the present invention.
