The gate 707 is composed of a fourth metal layer, which is nickel or gold alloy.
Referring to fig. 5, in the invention, the first buffer layer 1301 and the post-treatment layer 1302 can be grown by PVD, so that the first buffer layer 1301 with better quality can be obtained, and the subsequent preparation and application of the gallium nitride-based semiconductor device can be facilitated.
Referring to fig. 6, the present embodiment further provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, which includes the following steps:
in step 701, for example, an aluminum nitride first buffer layer 1301, an aluminum oxide post-treatment layer 1302, an aluminum gallium nitride second buffer layer 1303, and a gallium nitride barrier layer 1304 are sequentially deposited on a semiconductor substrate 1300, thereby obtaining a gallium nitride-based epitaxial wafer.
In step 702, a layer of hafnium oxide (HfO2) may then be deposited on the surface of the gan-based epitaxial wafer using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process to form a dielectric layer 705. The thickness of the hafnium oxide may be 2000 angstroms, for example.
In step 703, the dielectric layer 705 is dry etched to form a source 704 contact hole and a drain 706 contact hole that are oppositely disposed.
In step 704, a first metal is deposited in the source 704 contact holes and the drain 706 contact holes, and on the surface of the dielectric layer 705. Specifically, a magnetron sputtering coating process may be adopted to sequentially deposit a first titanium metal layer, an aluminum metal layer, a second titanium metal layer and a titanium nitride layer in the contact hole of the source 704 and the contact hole of the drain 706 and on the surface of the dielectric layer 705 to form the first metal layer, where the thickness of the first titanium metal layer may be, for example, 200 angstroms, the thickness of the aluminum metal layer may be, for example, 1200 angstroms, the thickness of the second titanium metal layer may be, for example, 200 angstroms, and the thickness of the titanium nitride layer may be, for example, 200 angstroms. The first metal is then patterned and etched to expose a portion of the surface of dielectric layer 705. Wherein the photolithography process comprises gumming, exposing and developing. Thus, the first metal layer over the contact hole of the source 704 forms the source 704 of the device, and the first metal layer over the contact hole of the drain 706 forms the drain 706 of the device.
In step 705, dry etching is performed on the exposed surface of the dielectric layer 705 and the gallium nitride layer to form a contact hole 707 for the gate. The contact hole of the gate 707 completely penetrates through the dielectric layer 705 and penetrates through the gallium nitride layer to reach the bottom of the gallium nitride layer, the gate 707 is in a conical structure, and the ratio of the upper edge to the lower edge of the conical structure is 1: 2-1: 4.
in step 706, a magnetron sputtering coating process is adopted to deposit a silicon nitride layer in the contact hole of the gate 707, wherein the silicon nitride layer is not higher than the contact hole of the gate 707, and then Ni/Au is deposited on the silicon nitride layer and on the outer edge of the contact hole of the gate 707 to be used as a second metal, wherein the thickness ratio of the Ni/Au metal is 0.01-0.04 μm/0.08-0.4 μm, so that the gate 707 is formed.
