Description
本發明是有關於一種半導體元件,且特別是有關於一種半導體基板。
對於GaN類的半導體元件來說,由於其具有高電子遷移率、耐高壓、低通道電阻以及切換快速的優點,因此已逐漸被廣泛應用。在GaN類的半導體元件的製造過程中,通常會對基底上的緩衝層進行碳摻雜來提高緩衝層的阻值,以降低GaN類的半導體元件在操作時產生的漏電流。
然而,經摻雜碳的緩衝層雖然可具有較高的阻值,但經碳摻雜的緩衝層會具有缺陷,且此缺陷會形成載子捕捉點。如此一來,當GaN類的半導體元件在操作時容易產生電流崩塌(current collapse)的問題。
本發明提供一種半導體基板,其具有高阻值的緩衝層以及較高品質的GaN層。
本發明提供一種半導體基板的製造方法,其用以製造具有高阻值的緩衝層以及較高品質的GaN層的半導體基板。

在本發明的半導體基板的一實施例中,上述緩衝層的材料例如為GaN、AlGaN、InGaN或AlInGaN。
在本發明的半導體基板的一實施例中,更包括配置於所述緩衝層與所述第一GaN層之間的第二GaN層。
本發明的半導體基板的製造方法包括:於基底上形成緩衝層;於所述緩衝層的部分表面中形成摻雜區;於所述緩衝層上形成罩幕層,其中所述罩幕層位於所述摻雜區上方;以及於所述緩衝層上形成第一GaN層,其中所述第一GaN層覆蓋所述罩幕層。
在本發明的半導體基板的製造方法的一實施例中,在形成所述摻雜區之後以及在形成所述罩幕層之前,更包括於所述緩衝層上形成第二GaN層。
本發明的半導體基板的製造方法包括:於基底上形成緩衝層;於所述緩衝層的整個表面中形成摻雜區;於所述緩衝層上形成第一罩幕層,其中所述第一罩幕層暴露出部分所述摻雜區;於所述緩衝層上形成第一GaN層,其中所述緩衝層覆蓋所述第一罩幕層;於所述第一GaN層上形成第二罩幕層,其中所述第二罩幕層位於未被所述第一罩幕層覆蓋的所述摻雜區上方;以及於所述第一GaN層上形成第二GaN層,其中所述第二GaN層覆蓋所述第二罩幕層。
在本發明的半導體基板的製造方法的一實施例中,上述摻雜區中的摻質例如為中性原子。

在本發明的半導體基板的製造方法的一實施例中,上述第二GaN層的形成方法例如為進行磊晶成長製程。
基於上述,在本發明中,將中性原子植入緩衝層中,可使緩衝層非晶化以使其具有較高的阻值,進而使得最終所形成的元件可具有較低的漏電流。此外,在本發明中,先藉由罩幕層覆蓋品質較差的GaN層的區域,再進行磊晶成長製程來形成另一層GaN層,因此使得最終所形成的GaN層能夠具有較佳的品質。
為讓本發明的上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。
圖1A至圖1D為依照本發明第一實施例所繪示的半導體基板的製造方法的剖面示意圖。首先,請參照圖1A,提供基底100。基底100例如為Si基底、SiC基底、藍寶石基底或GaN基底。然後,選擇性地於基底100上形成成核層102。成核層102的材料例如是AlN。成核層102的形成方法例如是進行化學氣相沉積製程。成核層102的厚度例如介於10 nm至500 nm之間。接著,於成核層102上形成緩衝層104。緩衝層104的材料例如是GaN、AlGaN、InGaN或AlInGaN。緩衝層104的形成方法例如是進行磊晶成長製程。緩衝層104的厚度例如介於100 nm至10 µm之間。
在形成緩衝層104之後,於緩衝層104上形成暴露出緩衝層104的部分表面的罩幕層105。然後,以罩幕層105為罩幕,進行植入製程,將中性原子植入緩衝層104的部分表面中,以形成摻雜區106。在本實施例中,中性原子例如是N或Ar。在植入中性原子之後,可使緩衝層104非晶化,使得緩衝層104具有較高的阻值,進而使得最終所形成的元件可具有較低的漏電流。此外,在本實施例中,僅將中性原子植入緩衝層104的表面處,但本發明不對摻雜區106的深度進行限定。在其他實施例中,也可以將中性原子植入深至緩衝層104的底部,亦即所形成的摻雜區106的深度可等於緩衝層104的厚度。在本實施例中,緩衝層104的經罩幕層105覆蓋的區域與緩衝層104的未經罩幕層105覆蓋的區域的尺寸比例並不受限制,可以視實際需求而為任何的尺寸比例。
另外,在上述的植入製程中,以垂直植入的方式來植入中性原子,因此罩幕層105下方不會形成摻雜區106,但本發明不限於此。在其他實施例中,也可以將中性原子以傾斜植入的方式來植入緩衝層104中。中性原子的植入角度θ例如是小於20度,但不限於此。如此一來,除了可形成摻雜區106之外,罩幕層105下方的緩衝層104中也會形成摻雜區106a,亦即相鄰的摻雜區106之間具有摻雜區106a,如圖3所示。基於傾斜植入的特性,所形成的摻雜區106a的厚度會小於摻雜區106的厚度。形成摻雜區106a的目的在於形成高阻值絕緣層,以抑制緩衝層104產生漏電流的現象。
然後,請參照圖1B,移除罩幕層105。之後,於緩衝層104上形成GaN層108。GaN層108的形成方法例如是進行磊晶成長製程。GaN層108包括位於摻雜區106上方的區域108a以及非位於摻雜區106上方的區域108b。由於在植入中性原子以形成摻雜區106之後,會於摻雜區106處形成缺陷,因此在以磊晶成長製程來形成GaN層108時,形成於摻雜區106上方的GaN層108(區域108a)的品質會劣於非形成於摻雜區106上方的GaN層108(區域108b)的品質。之後,於GaN層108上形成罩幕層110。罩幕層110位於區域108a的上方,亦即罩幕層110覆蓋GaN層108中具有較差品質的部分。罩幕層110的材料例如為氮化矽或氧化矽等的介電材料。
之後,請參照圖1C,於GaN層108上形成GaN層112。GaN層112的形成方法例如是進行磊晶成長製程。在本實施例中,由於GaN層108中具有較差品質的區域108a已被罩幕層110覆蓋,因此在形成GaN層112時,會自GaN層108中具有較佳品質的區域108b開始成長。此外,基於磊晶成長的特性,當自區域108b開始成長至超過罩幕層110的頂面高度時,會產生橫向成長的現象,使得最終所形成的GaN層112能夠覆蓋罩幕層110,且由於於罩幕層110的頂面不具有如同摻雜區106的缺陷,因此GaN層112整體皆可具有較佳的品質。如此一來,GaN層112可做為最終所形成的元件的通道層,且因其具有良好的品質而可提升元件的電子傳輸效能。
特別一提的是,在圖1B所述的步驟中,在移除罩幕層105之後,先於緩衝層104上形成GaN層108,再於GaN層108上形成罩幕層110,但本發明不限於此。在緩衝層104的材料是GaN的情況下,可省略形成GaN層108的步驟,直接於緩衝層104上形成罩幕層110。此時,罩幕層110覆蓋存在有缺陷的摻雜區106。之後,如圖1C中所述形成GaN層112。此時,GaN層112形成於緩衝層104上。由於存在有缺陷的摻雜區106已被罩幕層110覆蓋,因此在形成GaN層112時,會自以GaN為材料的緩衝層104開始成長。同樣地,基於磊晶成長的特性,最終所形成的GaN層112能夠覆蓋罩幕層110,且GaN層112整體皆可具有較佳的品質。
至此,完成了本實施例的半導體基板10的製造。包括具有較高阻質的緩衝層104以及具有較佳品質的GaN層112的半導體基板10可應用於各種GaN類的半導體元件,本發明並不對此進行限定。
圖2A至圖2D為依照本發明第二實施例所繪示的半導體基板的製造方法的剖面示意圖。在本實施例中,與第一實施例相同的元件將以相同的元件符號表示,且將不再對其進行描述。
首先,請參照圖2A,於基底100上形成成核層102。然後,於成核層102上形成緩衝層104。接著,進行植入製程,將中性原子植入緩衝層104的整個表面中,以形成摻雜區200。在本實施例中,中性原子例如是N或Ar。在植入中性原子之後,可使緩衝層104非晶化,使得緩衝層104具有較高的阻值,進而使得最終所形成的元件可具有較低的漏電流。此外,在本實施例中,僅將中性原子植入緩衝層104的表面處,但本發明不對摻雜區200的深度進行限定。在其他實施例中,也可以將中性原子植入深至緩衝層104的底部,亦即所形成的摻雜區200的深度可等於緩衝層104的厚度。之後,於緩衝層104上形成罩幕層202。罩幕層202覆蓋部分緩衝層104。罩幕層202的材料例如為氮化矽或氧化矽等的介電材料。
然後,請參照圖2B,於緩衝層104上形成GaN層204。GaN層204的形成方法例如是進行磊晶成長製程。GaN層204包括非位於罩幕層202上方的區域204a以及位於罩幕層202上方的區域204b。由於在植入中性原子以形成摻雜區200之後,會於摻雜區200處形成缺陷,因此在以磊晶成長製程來形成GaN層204時,形成於摻雜區200上方的GaN層204(區域204a)會具有較差的品質。然而,基於磊晶成長的特性,當自摻雜區200的表面開始成長至超過罩幕層202的頂面高度時,會產生橫向成長的現象,且由於罩幕層202的頂面不具有如同摻雜區200的缺陷,因此形成於罩幕層202上的GaN層204(區域204b)可具有較佳的品質。
接著,請參照圖2C,於GaN層204上形成罩幕層206。罩幕層206位於未被罩幕層202覆蓋的摻雜區200上方,亦即罩幕層206覆蓋GaN層204中具有較差品質的部分(區域204a)。罩幕層206的材料例如為氮化矽或氧化矽等的介電材料。
之後,請參照圖2D,於GaN層204上形成GaN層208。GaN層208的形成方法例如是進行磊晶成長製程。在本實施例中,由於GaN層204中具有較差品質的區域204a已被罩幕層206覆蓋,因此在形成GaN層208時,會自GaN層204中具有較佳品質的區域204b開始成長。此外,基於磊晶成長的特性,當自區域204b開始成長至超過罩幕層206的頂面高度時,會產生橫向成長的現象,使得最終所形成的GaN層208能夠覆蓋罩幕層206,且由於罩幕層206的頂面不具有如同摻雜區200的缺陷,因此GaN層208整體皆可具有較佳的品質。如此一來,GaN層208可做為最終所形成的元件的通道層,且因其具有良好的品質而可提升元件的電子傳輸效能。
至此,完成了本實施例的半導體基板20的製造。包括具有較高阻質的緩衝層104以及具有較佳品質的GaN層208的半導體基板20可應用於各種GaN類的半導體元件,本發明並不對此進行限定。
雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明的精神和範圍內,當可作些許的更動與潤飾,故本發明的保護範圍當視後附的申請專利範圍所界定者為準。
