As shown in fig. 1, the method for manufacturing the gallium oxide schottky diode according to the embodiment of the invention includes steps S1 to S7.
In step S1, the gallium oxide substrate is cleaned. Specifically, a gallium oxide substrate is selected, and is cleaned using standard organic and inorganic cleaning processes. The gallium oxide substrate material may be N-doped gallium oxide.
In one embodiment, in a 200 ℃ water bath, 3:1, treating the gallium oxide substrate by a sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide mixed solution for 15min.
In step S2, a gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12 is epitaxially grown on the front surface of the gallium oxide substrate 11 using an MOCVD (Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition ) process, as shown in fig. 2. The thickness of the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12 is 500nm-5 μm. In one embodiment, a gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12 is epitaxially grown to a thickness of 3 μm.
Further, standard organic cleaning of the post-epitaxial gallium oxide substrate may be performed. In one embodiment, the samples were individually heated in a water bath and sonicated for 5min with alcohol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, and deionized water.
In step S3, a Ti metal layer 13 is deposited on the back surface of the gallium oxide substrate 11 using an electron beam evaporation process, and a first Au metal layer (chemically inert metal layer) 14 is deposited on the Ti metal layer 13, as shown in fig. 3.
In this step, specifically, a sample is placed in an electron beam evaporation apparatus, metal plating is performed on the back surface of the gallium oxide substrate 11 after epitaxy, and after a Ti metal layer is deposited at 20nm to 80nm, a first Au metal layer with poor inter-diffusion is deposited at 100nm to 150nm. In one embodiment, the vacuum is less than 5X 10 at room temperature -5 Under experimental conditions of Pa, a 20nm Ti metal layer 13 and a 100nm first Au metal layer 14 were deposited sequentially.
In step S4, the gallium oxide substrate on which the Ti metal layer and the first Au metal layer are deposited is subjected to a high temperature annealing treatment to form an ohmic contact electrode.
In this step, specifically, the sample after the completion of the deposition is subjected to an annealing treatment under a nitrogen atmosphere at an annealing temperature of 450 ℃ to 500 ℃ in order to improve the reliability of ohmic contact, thereby forming a gallium oxide-based ohmic contact electrode. In one embodiment, the annealing temperature is 450 ℃, annealing for 30s.
In step S5, an etched region and a non-etched region are formed on the gallium oxide intrinsic layer using an inductively coupled plasma etching process.
In this step, specifically, as shown in fig. 4 (a), a photoresist 21 is spin-coated on the surface of the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12, and the pattern on the mask is transferred to the surface of the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12 using a photolithography technique; the sample was placed in an inductively coupled plasma etching apparatus, as shown in fig. 4 (b), and the region not covered with the photoresist 21 was etched to an etching depth of 5nm to 20nm, forming a patterned etched region, and the non-etched region (photoresist-covered region) was circular with a circular diameter of 50 μm to 150 μm. In one embodiment, the etch depth is 10nm and the etch rate is 20nm/min.
After etching is completed, the sample is taken out and the photoresist 21 is removed, and the sample can be soaked in acetone or N-methyl pyrrolidone solution for water bath heating or ultrasonic treatment to obtain an etching pattern on the gallium oxide substrate, as shown in (c) of fig. 4. In one embodiment, after etching is completed, the gallium oxide sample is immersed in acetone for 80 ℃ water bath stripping, and photoresist generated in the photolithography technique is removed.
Further, the etching damage on the surface can be eliminated by wet etching for 1min in phosphoric acid solution.
In step S6, a layer of nitrogen silicon zirconium dielectric layer is deposited on the etched area by using a magnetron sputtering process.
In this step, specifically, as shown in fig. 5 (a), a photoresist 21 is spin-coated on the surface of the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12, and a desired design pattern is formed using a photolithography technique, the desired pattern being an unetched region; a layer of zirconium silicon nitride dielectric (chemically inert dielectric) 15 having a thickness of 25nm to 50nm is deposited on the surface of the sample using a magnetron sputtering coating technique, as shown in FIG. 5 (b). In one embodiment, a gallium oxide substrate with a mask pattern is placed in a magnetron sputtering device, and a film is coated on the surface of the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12 to form a nitrogen silicon zirconium dielectric layer 15, and experimental conditions are as follows: 80W, 1.8X10 -1 Pa、15min。

In one embodiment, after the coating is completed, the gallium oxide sample is immersed in acetone for 80 ℃ water bath stripping, and photoresist generated in the photolithography technique is removed.
In step S7, an electron beam evaporation technology is used to deposit a Ni metal layer in the medium layer-free region in the middle of the nitrogen silicon zirconium medium layer, and deposit a second Au metal layer on the Ni metal layer to obtain the Schottky electrode, wherein the radius of the Ni metal layer is 5-20 μm larger than that of the non-etched region (gallium oxide intrinsic layer region without the medium layer) on the gallium oxide intrinsic layer.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6 (a), a photoresist layer is spin-coated on the surface of the zirconium silicon nitride dielectric layer 15, a desired design pattern is formed by using a photolithography technique, and the radius of the non-photoresist region above the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12 is 5 μm-20 μm larger than the radius of the non-etched region of the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12, and both are concentric circles; the sample was placed in an electron beam evaporation apparatus, as shown in fig. 6 (b), a Ni metal layer 16 of 20nm to 80nm was deposited on the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12, and since the deposition thickness of the Ni metal layer 16 was greater than the etching depth in step S5, and the radius of the non-photoresist region over the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12 was greater than the radius of the non-etched region of the gallium oxide intrinsic layer 12, the edge portion of the Ni metal layer was located on the upper layer of the zirconium silicon nitride dielectric layer. Then, as shown in fig. 6 (c), the second Au metal layer 17 having poor inter-diffusion of 50nm to 150nm is deposited again.
In one embodiment, a gallium oxide substrate with a mask pattern is placed in an electron beam evaporation device for metal coating, and experimental conditions are as follows: room temperature, vacuum degree less than 5×10 -5 Pa, a 20nm Ni metal layer 16 and a 100nm second Au metal layer 17 are sequentially deposited, and the Schottky electrode with the diameter of 60 μm and the field plate length of 10 μm are obtained.
And taking out the sample after the deposition is finished, removing the photoresist, and soaking in acetone or N-methyl pyrrolidone solution for water bath heating or ultrasonic treatment to obtain the Schottky electrode pattern. In one embodiment, after the coating is completed, the gallium oxide sample is immersed in acetone for 80 ℃ water bath stripping, and photoresist generated in the photolithography technique is removed.
