The semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a first nitride semiconductor layer disposed on the substrate; a second nitride semiconductor layer provided on the first nitride semiconductor layer and having a band gap larger than that of the first nitride semiconductor layer; a third nitride semiconductor layer doped with impurities and provided on the second nitride semiconductor layer; a gate electrode disposed on the third nitride semiconductor layer; a first semiconductor layer disposed on the third nitride semiconductor layer; and a via electrically connected to the gate electrode, wherein the gate electrode and the third nitride semiconductor layer define a schottky contact, and the first semiconductor layer and the via define an ohmic contact.
Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more particularly, to a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same.
Background
Components comprising direct bandgap semiconductors, such as semiconductor components comprising group III-V materials or group III-V compounds (class: group III-V compounds), may operate or work under a variety of conditions or in a variety of environments (e.g., at different voltages and frequencies).
The semiconductor components may include heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs, heterojunction bipolar transistor), heterojunction field effect transistors (HFETs, heterojunction field effect transistor), high-electron-mobility transistor, modulation-doped field effect transistors (MODFETs), and the like.
Taking a high electron mobility transistor as an example, it can be divided into: current injection PGAN HEMTs (power gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors) and voltage driven PGAN HEMTs (power gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors).
In the current injection PGAN HEMT, a current is injected into a Gate (Gate) region of a transistor, and by changing the magnitude of the injected current, the open/close state of a conductive path between the Gate and the source can be controlled. When the injected current reaches a certain threshold, the transistor is in an on state, allowing current to flow. Conversely, when the injected current is below the threshold, the transistor is in an off state, allowing no current to pass.
The voltage-driven PGAN HEMT is a transistor structure that realizes a switching function by controlling the voltage between the gate and the source. In this structure, the voltage between the gate and the source is adjusted, thereby controlling the open and closed states of the conductive path. When the applied voltage reaches a certain threshold value, the transistor is turned on; when the voltage is below the threshold, the transistor is turned off.
But it has the following disadvantages: the current injection type PGAN HEMT adopts a grid design of ohmic contact, so that the grid leakage is relatively large while the larger saturation current is realized, the efficiency of a power transistor is reduced due to the existence of the grid leakage, and the problems of heat effect or unstable current and the like can be caused.
Voltage driven PGAN HEMTs typically employ a gate design with schottky contacts, which are metal-semiconductor contacts with small gate leakage characteristics. However, since PGAN (GaN material) is in a floating state, a problem of trapping effect at an interface may be caused, affecting the overall performance of the transistor.

In a specific implementation, the gate electrode 20 defines a schottky contact with the third nitride semiconductor layer 18, wherein the gate electrode 20 may be a schottky gate.
The Schottky contact (Schottky contact) refers to a contact between a metal and a semiconductor. In schottky contacts, a barrier is formed between a metal and a semiconductor, which can control the flow of electrons, thereby achieving rectification and modulation of current. Schottky contacts are formed by the energy band difference between metals and semiconductors. When the metal contacts the semiconductor, a potential barrier is formed at the interface, and the current can only conduct unidirectionally (rectify) due to the potential barrier formed by the Schottky contact, so that the switching speed is high and the reverse leakage current is low.
The first semiconductor layer 40 is disposed on the third nitride semiconductor layer 18, the first semiconductor layer 40 is adjacent to the gate electrode 20, and the first semiconductor layer 40 is doped with impurities, which are commonly used to modify the conductivity of the semiconductor. The first semiconductor layer 40 may be PGAN.
In the semiconductor device, the gate electrode 20 is generally used to control the flow of current in the semiconductor material. The gate electrode 20 changes the charge distribution in the semiconductor material by an applied voltage signal, thereby regulating the transmission of current. The first semiconductor layer 40 is a layer of semiconductor material in direct contact with the gate electrode 20. In the specific semiconductor device 1a, the gate electrode 20 is located above the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 and forms a schottky contact with the third nitride semiconductor layer 18. And the gate electrode 20 can control or regulate the charge distribution and current transmission in the first semiconductor layer 40 by contact with the first semiconductor layer 40, realizing a current control function for the entire semiconductor device 1 a.
The semiconductor device 1a further includes: the through hole 50, the through hole 50 is a hole structure penetrating the gate electrode 20, and is an electrically connected channel. The via 50 passes through a region of the gate electrode 20 for establishing electrical connection with the gate electrode 20.
Thereby, ohmic contact is formed between the first semiconductor layer 40 and the via hole 50. Ohmic contact refers to a low-resistance contact mode existing between two materials, and can effectively transfer current. The ohmic contact establishes a good electrical connection between the first semiconductor layer 40 and the via 50 so that current can flow freely between them for low resistance, efficient energy transfer and signal conduction. And the gate electrode 20 and the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 define schottky contacts, so that current can be conducted (rectified) only in one direction due to a potential barrier formed by the schottky contacts, with a high switching speed and a low reverse leakage current.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 1, the upper surface 40s1 of the first semiconductor layer 40 is coplanar with the upper surface 20s1 of the gate electrode 20.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 2, the upper surface 40s1 of the first semiconductor layer 40 is not coplanar with the upper surface 20s1 of the gate electrode 20.

The first semiconductor layer 40 is adjacent to the gate electrode 20 and may be characterized in that the first semiconductor layer 40 is located between the first portion 201 and the second portion 202 of the gate electrode 20.
Note that the gate electrode 20 has a first portion 201 and a second portion 202, and is spaced apart in the X-axis direction, which means that the gate electrode 20 is divided into two different regions, which may be referred to as the first portion 201 and the second portion 202, respectively. An alternative implementation of the first semiconductor layer 40 in spatial contact abutment with the gate electrode 20 is: the first semiconductor layer 40 is located between the first portion 201 and the second portion 202 of the gate electrode 20.
It will be appreciated that by dividing the gate electrode 20 into different regions, more precise control of the current flow may be achieved. For example: the first portion 201 is responsible for controlling the switching state or regulating the threshold of current flow, while the second portion 202 is used to provide higher current handling capability. The magnitude and direction of the current can be flexibly adjusted through the two portions of the gate electrode 20 to meet the requirements of a particular device.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 1, 2, and 3, the semiconductor device 1a further includes a second semiconductor layer 30 disposed between the first semiconductor layer 40 and the third nitride semiconductor layer 18, and having a band gap greater than that of the first semiconductor layer 40. The second semiconductor layer 30 adjoins the gate electrode 20. And, optionally, the second semiconductor layer 30 is doped with an impurity (e.g., P-type or N-type impurity), and the second semiconductor layer 30 may be P-AlGaN.
The second semiconductor layer 30 is provided between the first semiconductor layer 40 and the third nitride semiconductor layer 18, that is, the second semiconductor layer 30 and the first semiconductor layer 40 are stacked in this order in a direction away from the third nitride semiconductor layer 18.
And further in combination with the possible implementation of the foregoing, that is, in an implementation in which the gate electrode 20 has the first portion 201 and the second portion 202, and the first portion 201 is spaced from the second portion 202 along the first direction (X-axis), the abutment of the second semiconductor layer 30 with the gate electrode 20 may be expressed as: the second semiconductor layer 30 is located between the first portion 201 and the second portion 202 of the gate electrode 20. And in the space formed by the first portion 201 and the second portion 202 of the gate electrode 20, the first semiconductor layer 40 is located above, i.e., in a direction away from the third nitride semiconductor layer 18, and the second semiconductor layer 30 is located below, i.e., in a direction close to the third nitride semiconductor layer 18.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 4, the gate electrode 20 further includes: third portion 203, first portion 201 is spaced from third portion 203 along a second direction (Y-axis) different from the first direction. And the first semiconductor layer 40 is located between the first portion 201 and the third portion 203 of the gate electrode 20. The second semiconductor layer 30 is located between the first portion 201 and the third portion 203 of the gate electrode 20.
In this design, the gate electrode 20 is subdivided into three sections: a first portion 201, a second portion 202, and a third portion 203. The first portion 201 and the third portion 203 are spaced apart in the Y-axis direction, and the first portion 201 and the second portion 202 are spaced apart or opposite to each other in the X-axis direction, and the second portion 202 and the third portion 203 are also spaced apart in the Y-axis direction, and the first semiconductor layer 40 is also located between the first portion 201 and the third portion 203 of the gate electrode 20 and between the third portion 203 and the second portion 202 on the basis of the structure. Thus, the area of ohmic contact (the first semiconductor layer 40 and the gate electrode 20, and the second semiconductor layer 30 and the gate electrode 20) can be increased by changing the vertically continuous gate electrode 20 to be vertically split, so as to further reduce the interface state.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 5, the first semiconductor layer 40 has a plurality of portions 411 spaced apart from each other, the gate electrode 20 has a plurality of portions 211 spaced apart from each other, and the plurality of portions of the first semiconductor layer 40 and the plurality of portions of the gate electrode 20 are staggered with each other. Thus, the gate electrode 20 which is laterally continuous can be changed to be laterally split, the gate length can be effectively reduced, the high frequency characteristic of the device can be improved, the gate resistance can be reduced, and the forward saturation current can be improved.
In one possible implementation, the semiconductor device 1a further includes: the first electrode 61, the second electrode 62, and the gate electrode 20 may be disposed between the first electrode 61 and the second electrode 62.
In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 1, the semiconductor device 1a further includes: the packaging layer 70, the packaging layer 70 refers to an external protection layer for packaging other film layers, and the packaging layer 70 has the main functions of providing mechanical protection, electrical connection, heat dissipation and the like.
In summary, the structure of the semiconductor device 1a described in the present application can be summarized as follows: a substrate 12 providing the basic support for the entire device, a first nitride semiconductor layer 14, a second nitride semiconductor layer 16, a third nitride semiconductor layer 18), each stacked on top of the previous layer. Wherein the band gap of the second nitride semiconductor layer 16 is larger than that of the first nitride semiconductor layer 14. And the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 is doped with impurities, the electrical properties of which are adjusted. The gate electrode 20 is located on the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 and forms a schottky contact with the third nitride semiconductor layer 18. The gate electrode 20 has a complex geometry including spaced apart first 201, second 202 and third 203 portions (as shown in fig. 4) that are spaced apart in different directions.
The first semiconductor layer 40 is located on the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 and defines an ohmic contact with a via 50, the via 50 extending through a portion of the gate electrode 20.
In addition, in an alternative design, the first semiconductor layer 40 may be divided into a plurality of portions, which are staggered with portions of the gate electrode 20.
In an alternative embodiment, the second semiconductor layer 30 is arranged between the first semiconductor layer 40 and the third nitride semiconductor layer 18, and has a band gap that is greater than the band gap of the first semiconductor layer 40. This layer may also be doped with impurities and in some versions be located between certain portions of the gate electrode 20.
While with respect to the surfaces of the first semiconductor layer 40 and the gate electrode 20, both may be coplanar, or the upper surfaces of both may not be coplanar.
In summary, when a positive voltage is applied to the gate electrode 20, holes in the first semiconductor layer 40 are injected downward, but due to the existence of the barrier of the second semiconductor layer 30, holes are accumulated at the interface between the first semiconductor layer 40 and the second semiconductor layer 30, and these accumulated holes are neutralized with trap electrons at the schottky interface, thereby improving the interface state.
The disclosed embodiment also provides a semiconductor device 1a including:
a substrate 12;
a first nitride semiconductor layer 14 provided on the substrate 12;
a second nitride semiconductor layer 16 provided on the first nitride semiconductor layer 14 and having a band gap larger than that of the first nitride semiconductor layer 14;
a third nitride semiconductor layer 18 doped with impurities and provided on the second nitride semiconductor layer 16;
a gate electrode 20 disposed on the third nitride semiconductor layer 18;
a carrier providing layer adjacent to the gate electrode 20, wherein the carrier providing layer is configured to generate a first carrier to neutralize a second carrier located within the traps of the gate electrode 20.
In one possible implementation, the method further includes:
a barrier layer provided between the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 and the carrier providing layer, wherein the band gap of the barrier layer is larger than that of the carrier providing layer. The barrier layer includes the second semiconductor layer 30, and the carrier providing layer includes the first semiconductor layer 40.
In one possible implementation, the barrier layer is doped with impurities.
In one possible implementation, the carrier-providing layer is doped with impurities.
In one possible implementation, the gate electrode 20 has a first portion 201 and a second portion 202, the first portion 201 being separated from the second portion 202 by a carrier providing layer. It should be noted that the carrier providing layer is adjacent to the gate electrode 20, and the carrier providing layer is configured to generate a first carrier to neutralize a second carrier located in the trap of the gate electrode 20.
It should be noted that the first semiconductor layer 40 is disposed between two portions of the gate electrode 20, so that better current control and performance optimization can be achieved. When a positive voltage V1 is applied to the gate electrode 20, holes in the first semiconductor layer 40 are injected downward, and since the band gap of the second semiconductor layer 30 is larger than that of the first semiconductor layer 40, a potential barrier is generated, and the existence of the potential barrier plays a key role in the movement of holes. Holes accumulate at the interface of the first semiconductor layer 40 and the second semiconductor layer 30, and these accumulated holes are neutralized with the trapped electrons at the schottky interface, thereby functioning to improve the interface state (as shown in fig. 6).
Specifically, when a positive voltage is applied to the gate electrode 20, an electric field over the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 causes holes in the first semiconductor layer 40 to be injected downward into the third nitride semiconductor layer 18. However, since the band gap of the second semiconductor layer 30 is larger than that of the first semiconductor layer 40, it creates a potential barrier, which means that holes are blocked at the second semiconductor layer 30 when attempting to migrate toward the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 deeper. And holes accumulate at the interface of the first semiconductor layer 40 and the second semiconductor layer 30 due to the existence of this potential barrier, forming a region with a higher hole concentration. When there is a schottky contact between the semiconductor and the metal (e.g., gate electrode 20), the contact interface typically has some electron states, known as trap states. These trap states are due to the different band structures that exist between the semiconductor and the metal, resulting in unfilled electron states at the interface between them. Due to the accumulation of holes between the first semiconductor layer 40 and the second semiconductor layer 30, the holes may recombine with trapped electrons of the schottky interface, thereby neutralizing the interface state, which may help reduce the interface state density between the semiconductor and the metal, thereby improving device performance, such as reducing leakage current, improving switching speed, and the like.
The embodiment of the disclosure further provides a method for manufacturing a transistor structure, which is used for manufacturing the transistor structure provided in the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, and the manufacturing method includes:
step S1: providing a substrate 12;
step S2: forming a first nitride semiconductor layer 14 on the substrate 12;
step S3: forming a second nitride semiconductor layer 16 on the first nitride semiconductor layer 14, and having a band gap larger than that of the first nitride semiconductor layer 14;
step S4: forming a third nitride semiconductor layer 18 on the second nitride semiconductor layer 16, the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 being doped with impurities;
step S5: forming a gate electrode 20 on the third nitride semiconductor layer 18;
step S6: forming a first semiconductor layer 40 on the third nitride semiconductor layer 18;
step S7: forming a via 50 electrically connected to the gate electrode 20;
wherein the gate electrode 20 defines a schottky contact with the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 and the first semiconductor layer 40 defines an ohmic contact with the via 50.
In a possible implementation manner, as shown in fig. 8, the method for manufacturing the transistor structure further includes: the second semiconductor layer 30 is formed on the third nitride semiconductor layer 18, wherein the first semiconductor layer 40 is formed on the second semiconductor layer 30, and the band gap of the second semiconductor layer 30 is larger than that of the first semiconductor layer 40.
In one possible implementation, the second semiconductor layer 30 is doped with impurities. Wherein the first semiconductor layer 40 is doped with impurities.
In one possible implementation, the step of fabricating the gate electrode 20 specifically includes: forming an electrode material layer on the third nitride semiconductor layer 18; and removing a portion of the electrode material layer to form the gate electrode 20 having a first portion 201 and a second portion 202 spaced apart from the first portion 201.
Note that the first nitride semiconductor layer 14, the second nitride semiconductor layer 16, the third nitride semiconductor layer 18, and the gate electrode 20 may be formed by chemical vapor deposition (chemical vapor deposition, CVD), physical vapor deposition (physical vapor deposition, PVD), atomic layer deposition (atomic layer deposition, ALD), or other suitable techniques. The patterns (patterns) of the first nitride semiconductor layer 14, the second nitride semiconductor layer 16, the third nitride semiconductor layer 18, and the gate electrode 20 may be formed through a photolithography (photo lithography) process, an etching process, and other suitable processes.
Thus, when a positive voltage is applied to the gate electrode 20, an electric field over the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 causes holes in the first semiconductor layer 40 to be injected downward into the third nitride semiconductor layer 18. However, since the band gap of the second semiconductor layer 30 is larger than that of the first semiconductor layer 40, it creates a potential barrier, which means that holes are blocked at the second semiconductor layer 30 when attempting to migrate toward the third nitride semiconductor layer 18 deeper. And holes accumulate at the interface of the first semiconductor layer 40 and the second semiconductor layer 30 due to the existence of this potential barrier, forming a region with a higher hole concentration. When there is a schottky contact between the semiconductor and the metal (e.g., gate electrode 20), the contact interface typically has some electron states, known as trap states. These trap states are due to the different band structures that exist between the semiconductor and the metal, resulting in unfilled electron states at the interface between them. Due to the accumulation of holes between the first semiconductor layer 40 and the second semiconductor layer 30, the holes may recombine with trapped electrons of the schottky interface, thereby neutralizing the interface state, which may help reduce the interface state density between the semiconductor and the metal, thereby improving device performance, such as reducing leakage current, improving switching speed, and the like.
