Description

半導體裝置Semiconductor device

本發明是有關於一種半導體裝置。The present invention relates to a semiconductor device.

氮基半導體具有高電子崩潰電場與高電子飽和速度,因此,氮基半導體被期望作為具高崩潰電壓與低開啟電阻之半導體裝置的半導體材料。許多使用氮基相關材料的半導體裝置具有異質結構(heterojunctions)。異質結構係利用二種具有不同帶隙能量的氮基半導體組成,且可於接合平面附近形成二維電子氣(two-dimensional electron gas, 2DEG)層。具有異質結構的半導體裝置可達成低開啟電阻。此類的半導體裝置稱為高電子遷移率電晶體(high electron mobility transistors, HEMT)。Nitrogen-based semiconductors have high electron collapse electric fields and high electron saturation speeds. Therefore, nitrogen-based semiconductors are expected to be used as semiconductor materials for semiconductor devices with high breakdown voltages and low on-resistance. Many semiconductor devices using nitrogen-based materials have heterojunctions. The heterostructure is composed of two nitrogen-based semiconductors with different band gap energies, and a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) layer can be formed near the bonding plane. Semiconductor devices with heterostructures can achieve low on-resistance. Such semiconductor devices are called high electron mobility transistors (HEMT).

FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2A-2A of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2B is a view taken along line 2B-2B of FIG. 1. Sectional view. Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B. The semiconductor device includes an active layer 110, a source electrode 120, a drain electrode 130, a gate electrode 140, a source pad 150, a drain pad 160, and at least one source external connection element 170. The active layer 110 has an active region 112. The source electrode 120, the drain electrode 130, and the gate electrode 140 are disposed on the active region 112 of the active layer 110. The source pad 150 is electrically connected to the source electrode 120, and the source pad 150 includes a body portion 152, a plurality of branch portions 154, and a current dispersion portion 156. The body portion 152 is at least partially disposed in the active region 112 of the active layer 110. For example, the projection of the body portion 152 on the active layer 110 is located in the active area 112 or overlaps with the active area 112. That is, the body portion 152 overlaps at least part of the source electrode 120, at least part of the drain electrode 130, and / or at least part of the gate electrode 140. The body portion 152 extends along the first direction D1. The branch portion 154 extends along the second direction D2. The second direction D2 is different from the first direction D1. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the first direction D1 is substantially perpendicular to the second direction D2. The current dispersion portion 156 connects the main body portion 152 and the branch portion 154 and extends along the first direction D1. The width W1 of the current dispersion portion 156 is larger than the width W2 of the branch portion 154 of the one and is less than half the width W3 of the main body portion 152. The source external connection element 170 is placed on the body portion 152, contacts the body portion 152, and is separated from the current dispersion portion 156. That is, the source external connection element 170 is a non-contact current dispersion portion 156. "Essential" is used to modify any relationship that can be slightly changed, but this slight change does not change its essence.

另外,汲極墊160電性連接汲極電極130,且汲極墊160包含本體部162、複數個分支部164與一電流分散部166。本體部162至少部分置於主動層110的主動區112。舉例而言,本體部162於主動層110的投影位於主動區112 中,或者與主動區112重疊。亦即,本體部162重疊至少部分的源極電極120、至少部分的汲極電極130與/或至少部分的閘極電極140。本體部162沿著第一方向D1延伸。亦即,本體部152與162實質平行。分支部164沿著第二方向D2延伸。亦即,分支部154與164實質平行。分支部154與164沿著第一方向D1交替排列。電流分散部166連接本體部162與分支部164,並沿著第一方向D1延伸。電流分散部166的寬度W4大於一之分支部164的寬度W5且小於本體部162的寬度W6的一半。In addition, the drain pad 160 is electrically connected to the drain electrode 130, and the drain pad 160 includes a body portion 162, a plurality of branch portions 164, and a current dispersion portion 166. The body portion 162 is at least partially disposed in the active region 112 of the active layer 110. For example, the projection of the body portion 162 on the active layer 110 is located in the active area 112 or overlaps with the active area 112. That is, the body portion 162 overlaps at least part of the source electrode 120, at least part of the drain electrode 130, and / or at least part of the gate electrode 140. The body portion 162 extends along the first direction D1. That is, the body portions 152 and 162 are substantially parallel. The branch portion 164 extends along the second direction D2. That is, the branch portions 154 and 164 are substantially parallel. The branch portions 154 and 164 are alternately arranged along the first direction D1. The current dispersion portion 166 connects the main body portion 162 and the branch portion 164 and extends along the first direction D1. The width W4 of the current dispersion portion 166 is larger than the width W5 of the branch portion 164 of the one and is less than half the width W6 of the main body portion 162.

在本實施方式中,電流分散部156可改善源極墊150的電流集聚(current crowding)問題。具體而言,電流自源極外部連接元件170經由源極墊150而流至源極電極120。電流依序流經本體部152、電流分散部156與分支部154而到達源極電極120。若源極外部連接元件170太過於靠近分支部154,亦即電流分散部156的寬度W1過小,則會產生電流集聚效應而惡化半導體裝置的性能。若源極外部連接元件170太過於遠離分支部154,亦即電流分散部156的寬度W1過大,則半導體裝置的佈線面積(layout area)便會增加。因此,當電流分散部156的寬度W1大於一之分支部154的寬度W2且小於本體部152的寬度W3的一半時,電流集聚效應與半導體裝置的佈線面積將一併獲得改善。類似的,當電流分散部166的寬度W4大於一之分支部164的寬度W5且小於本體部162的寬度W6的一半時,電流集聚效應與半導體裝置的佈線面積將一併獲得改善。In this embodiment, the current dispersing portion 156 can improve the current crowding of the source pad 150. Specifically, a current flows from the source external connection element 170 to the source electrode 120 through the source pad 150. The current flows sequentially through the body portion 152, the current dispersion portion 156, and the branch portion 154 to reach the source electrode 120. If the source external connection element 170 is too close to the branch portion 154, that is, the width W1 of the current dispersion portion 156 is too small, a current accumulation effect may occur and the performance of the semiconductor device may be deteriorated. If the source external connection element 170 is too far away from the branch portion 154, that is, the width W1 of the current dispersion portion 156 is too large, the layout area of the semiconductor device will increase. Therefore, when the width W1 of the current dispersion portion 156 is larger than the width W2 of the branch portion 154 of the one and is less than half the width W3 of the body portion 152, the current accumulation effect and the wiring area of the semiconductor device will be improved together. Similarly, when the width W4 of the current dispersing portion 166 is greater than the width W5 of the branch portion 164 of the one and is less than half the width W6 of the body portion 162, the current accumulation effect and the wiring area of the semiconductor device will be improved together.

在第1圖中,對於源極墊150,電流分散部156分開本體部152與分支部154。換言之,電流分散部156置於本體部152與分支部154之間。或者,本體部152與分支部154置於電流分散部156的相對兩側。在一些實施方式中,源極墊150為一體成型。亦即,本體部152、分支部154與電流分散部156為一體成型。分支部154突出於電流分散部156,因此源極墊150為指叉形。另外,在第1圖中,電流分散部156與本體部152具有實質相同的長度。In FIG. 1, with respect to the source pad 150, the current dispersion portion 156 separates the body portion 152 and the branch portion 154. In other words, the current dispersion portion 156 is interposed between the body portion 152 and the branch portion 154. Alternatively, the body portion 152 and the branch portion 154 are disposed on opposite sides of the current dispersion portion 156. In some embodiments, the source pad 150 is integrally formed. That is, the body portion 152, the branch portion 154, and the current dispersion portion 156 are integrally formed. Since the branch portion 154 protrudes from the current dispersion portion 156, the source pad 150 has an interdigitated shape. In addition, in FIG. 1, the current dispersion portion 156 and the main body portion 152 have substantially the same length.

另外,對於汲極墊160,電流分散部166分開本體部162與分支部164。換言之,電流分散部166置於本體部162與分支部164之間。或者,本體部162與分支部164置於電流分散部166的相對兩側。在一些實施方式中,汲極墊160為一體成型。亦即,本體部162、分支部164與電流分散部166為一體成型。分支部164突出於電流分散部166,因此汲極墊160為指叉形。另外,在第1圖中,電流分散部166與本體部162具有實質相同的長度。In addition, for the drain pad 160, the current spreading portion 166 separates the body portion 162 and the branch portion 164. In other words, the current dispersion portion 166 is interposed between the body portion 162 and the branch portion 164. Alternatively, the body portion 162 and the branch portion 164 are disposed on opposite sides of the current dispersion portion 166. In some embodiments, the drain pad 160 is integrally formed. That is, the body portion 162, the branch portion 164, and the current dispersion portion 166 are integrally formed. Since the branch portion 164 protrudes from the current dispersion portion 166, the drain pad 160 has an interdigitated shape. In addition, in FIG. 1, the current dispersion portion 166 and the main body portion 162 have substantially the same length.

源極外部連接元件170毗鄰電流分散部156的邊緣172對齊本體部152與電流分散部156之間的界面Is。在一些實施方式中,源極外部連接元件170可為凸塊(bump)或者連接線(wire)以將源極墊150連接至外部元件或電路。The source external connection element 170 is aligned with the interface Is between the body portion 152 and the current dispersing portion 156 adjacent to the edge 172 of the current dispersing portion 156. In some embodiments, the source external connection element 170 may be a bump or a wire to connect the source pad 150 to an external element or circuit.

在一些實施方式中,源極墊150滿足:1≦L2/((W1+W3)/2)≦3,其中L2為分支部154的長度。電流分散部156的寬度W1與本體部152的寬度W3的總和與源極之電流分散部156和分支部154之間的交接處的電流集聚效應有關。在一些實施方式中,當寬度W1與寬度W3的總和增加時,交接處的電流密度會降低。另外,分支部154的長度L2與源極的總電阻有關。在一些實施方式中,若長度L2增加,則源極的總電阻亦增加。因此,當源極墊150滿足上式關係式時,源極的電流集聚效應與總電阻皆會被改善。In some embodiments, the source pad 150 satisfies: 1 ≦ L2 / ((W1 + W3) / 2) ≦ 3, where L2 is the length of the branch portion 154. The sum of the width W1 of the current dispersion portion 156 and the width W3 of the main body portion 152 is related to the current accumulation effect at the junction between the current dispersion portion 156 and the branch portion 154 of the source. In some embodiments, as the sum of the width W1 and the width W3 increases, the current density at the junction decreases. The length L2 of the branch portion 154 is related to the total resistance of the source. In some embodiments, if the length L2 is increased, the total resistance of the source is also increased. Therefore, when the source pad 150 satisfies the above formula, the current accumulation effect and the total resistance of the source are improved.

類似的,在一些實施方式中,汲極墊160滿足:1≦L5/((W4+W6)/2)≦3,其中L5為分支部164的長度。電流分散部166的寬度W4與本體部162的寬度W6的總和與汲極之電流分散部166和分支部164之間的交接處的電流集聚效應有關。在一些實施方式中,當寬度W4與寬度W6的總和增加時,交接處的電流密度會降低。另外,分支部164的長度L5與汲極的總電阻有關。在一些實施方式中,若長度L5增加,則汲極的總電阻亦增加。因此,當汲極墊160滿足上式關係式時,汲極的電流集聚效應與總電阻皆會被改善。Similarly, in some embodiments, the drain pad 160 satisfies: 1 ≦ L5 / ((W4 + W6) / 2) ≦ 3, where L5 is the length of the branch portion 164. The sum of the width W4 of the current dispersion portion 166 and the width W6 of the main body portion 162 is related to the current accumulation effect at the junction between the current dispersion portion 166 and the branch portion 164 of the drain. In some embodiments, as the sum of the width W4 and the width W6 increases, the current density at the junction decreases. The length L5 of the branch portion 164 is related to the total resistance of the drain. In some embodiments, if the length L5 is increased, the total resistance of the drain is also increased. Therefore, when the drain pad 160 satisfies the above-mentioned relationship, both the current accumulation effect and the total resistance of the drain will be improved.
