- It should be noted that similar reference signs and letters represent similar items in the following drawings and thus, once a certain item is defined in a drawing, it is not required to be further defined and explained in the following drawings. In the description of the present disclosure, terms “first”, “second”, “third”, “fourth” and the like are only adopted for distinctive description and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance.

Those skilled in the art can understand the real meanings of the terms in the present disclosure based on the particular condition.
- In the prior art, in common semiconductor devices, the heat dissipation problem during the use of the semiconductor device is mainly solved in the following three ways.
- (1) Using substrate materials with higher thermal conductivity for the manufacture of semiconductor devices; for instance, polishing off the silicon carbide substrate, and forming a diamond film or a diamond-like carbon film on the back of the epitaxial layer by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), sputtering, or bonding etc. However, the disadvantage of such a method is increase in the process complexity and cost.
- (2) Optimizing the packaging process; for instance, using a tube shell structure etc. with better heat dissipation effect. However, the disadvantage of such a method is that the temperature inside the semiconductor device cannot be effectively, uniformly and timely dissipated through the tube shell, resulting in the temperature at the center of the device still being the highest and the temperature inside the device still being unevenly distributed.
- (3) Adjusting the gate pitch; for instance, while increasing the pitch between adjacent gates or reducing the length of the gates, increasing the gates to achieve the same net active region. However, such a method would cause the heat load generated in the center of the chip to spread in a wider range. Especially in a semiconductor chip composed of a plurality of semiconductor devices, this will result in a larger semiconductor chip area and reduce the number of chips per wafer.
- In summary, the existing three heat dissipation solutions have certain limitations when solving the heat dissipation problem of semiconductor devices. In this regard, the inventor found through research that the heat of the existing semiconductor device is mainly generated in the active region of the device, especially the gate position, then, at the center of the active region of the semiconductor device, by increasing the lengths of the source ohms and drain ohms in the gate length direction, the distances between adjacent gate fingers are increased to reduce the distance between adjacent temperature peak points to achieve the purpose of improving the temperature distribution gradient, to improve the problem of heat dissipation at the center position of the semiconductor device. Specifically, it will be described in details in conjunction with different embodiments below.

Dn-2, Dn-1, Dn; the pitch of two gates T1 and Tn at the two outermost ends in thesemiconductor device 10 in the gate length direction is L, assuming that the maximum gate pitch of the respective gate pitches is D4, the maximum gate pitch D4 satisfies -
- Preferably, considering the actual area utilization rate of the
active region 30 of the device, the maximum gate pitch satisfies the following condition: -
- Further, referring to
FIG. 2 again, the minimum gate pitch of the respective gate pitches is within a second preset range determined according to a pitch of twogates 12 at the two outermost ends in thesemiconductor device 10 in the gate length direction and a total number ofgates 12 of thesemiconductor device 10, the second preset range is (L/(n−1)2, L/(n−1)), that is, the minimum gate pitch Lmin satisfies the following condition: -
- where L is the pitch of two
gates 12 at the two outermost ends in thesemiconductor device 10 in the gate length direction, and n is the total number ofgates 12 of thesemiconductor device 10. Preferably, in order to reduce the difference between the highest temperature and the lowest temperature, and to balance the heat distribution of the entire device, the minimum gate pitch Lmin is greater than or equal to L/2(n−1). Specifically, assuming that the minimum gate pitch of the respective gate pitches as shown inFIG. 2 is D1, then the minimum gate pitch D1 satisfies: -
- In another embodiment, in order to further meet the combination of the internal structure requirements of the device and the planar layout, the maximum gate pitch Lmax is located between
adjacent gates 12 on both sides of thesource 13, and the minimum gate pitch Lmin is located betweenadjacent gates 12 on both sides of thedrain 14. Based on the setting of the gate pitch in thesemiconductor device 10 above, on the premise of ensuring the reduction of the heat loss of thesemiconductor device 10 and improving the reliability and output power thereof, there are various design forms of the respective gate pitches. - For instance, as shown in
FIG. 2 again, the gate pitch D4 of the respective gate pitches is the maximum, that is, the maximum gate pitch Lmax is betweenadjacent gates 12 on both sides of thesource 13, thesource 13 is located within D4, the gate pitch D1 is the minimum, and thedrain 14 is located within D1, that is, the minimum gate pitch Lmin is located betweenadjacent gates 12 on both sides of thedrain 14, thus, other gate pitches may be set to be less than or equal to D4, or greater than or equal to D1, for instance, the respective gate pitches may include at least two gate pitches as the maximum gate pitch, or the respective gate pitches may include at least two gate pitches as the minimum gate pitch, etc.; the maximum gate pitch may be located at a center position of theactive region 30, and in a direction from the center position of theactive region 30 to a position away from the center position, two pitches of the maximum gate pitch and the minimum gate pitch are arranged alternately. - For another instance, the plurality of gate pitches formed by the plurality of
gates 12 may sequentially decrease in a direction from a center position of theactive region 30 to a position away from the center position according to a change amount or a fixed value; for example, the differences between any two adjacent gate pitches may either be the same or substantially the same, or decrease sequentially according to an arbitrary value, which is not limited herein in Embodiment one. In addition, it can be understood that in Embodiment one, if there are an even number of gate pitches in theactive region 30 of thesemiconductor device 10, the two gate pitches located at the center position of theactive region 30 are equal and other gate pitches away from the center position relatively decrease. Specifically, as shown inFIG. 3 , assuming that the total number n of thegates 12 included in thesemiconductor device 10 is 8, the twogates 12 at the center position of theactive region 30 are T4 and T5, and the gate pitch D4 between T4 and T5 is greater than the gate pitches formed by otheradjacent gates 12 away from the center position. Accordingly, from the position where D4 is located to the edge positions on both sides of theactive region 30, the gate pitches may decrease sequentially according to a change amount or a fixed value; for instance, the difference between D3 and D4 is equal to the difference between D2 and D1, the difference between D2 and D1 is equal to the difference between D2 and D3, the difference between D4 and D3 is equal to the difference between D5 and D6, and so on. - For another instance, in the actual design of respective gate pitches, in order to effectively balance the heat distribution, in a direction from the center position of the
active region 30 to a position away from the center position of a plurality of gate pitches formed by the plurality ofgates 12, other gate pitches may be arranged at equal pitches in order in a direction from the center position of theactive region 30 to a position away from the center position, where the equal pitch may be the minimum gate pitch, or the pitch value of the equal pitch arrangement may also be any pitch value greater than the minimum gate pitch and smaller than the maximum gate pitch. - Further, the substrate may be formed of one of sapphire, silicon carbide (SiC), silicon (Si), lithium niobate, silicon-on-insulator, gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN), or any other material suitable for growing group III nitrides, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure. The material of the
semiconductor layer 11 may be, but not limited to, a group III nitride semiconductor material such as AlGaN, AlN, or InAlN. - In addition, a
gate pad 15 and adrain pad 16 are provided in the passive region of thesemiconductor device 10, and thegate pad 15 and thedrain pad 16 are located on both sides of theactive region 30, respectively. A plurality of thegates 12 are interconnected by thegate pad 15 located in the passive region of thesemiconductor device 10, and a plurality of thedrains 14 are interconnected by thedrain pad 16 located in the passive region, wherein thegate pad 15 and thedrain pad 16 may be, but not limited to, metal pads, which is not limited in this embodiment. - Alternatively, in the
semiconductor chip 20, thegate pad 15, and thedrain pad 16 located in the passive region may be jointly belong to thesame semiconductor device 10, or may be provided bydifferent semiconductor devices 10 together to constitute thesemiconductor device 10 given in Embodiment one, that is,different semiconductor devices 10 may share agate pad 15 or adrain pad 16, which is not specifically limited in Embodiment one. - Further, the
semiconductor device 10 further includes a ground electrode located on a side of the substrate away from thesemiconductor layer 11, and the plurality ofsources 13 may be connected to the ground electrode located on a side of the substrate away from thesemiconductor layer 11 through a plurality of through holes penetrating the substrate and thesemiconductor layer 11, respectively. - In order to reduce the inductance and parasitic capacitance of the device, the
source 13 needs to be provided with a through hole; therefore, the gate pitches on both sides of theadjacent source 13 and drain 14 are different. As shown inFIG. 4 , the gate finger pitch of both sides of thesource 13 is d1, and the gate finger pitch of both sides of thedrain 14 is d2, generally, the gate pitches d1 and d2 of both sides of theadjacent source 13 and drain 14 satisfy d2≤d1≤3d2. In order to reduce device losses and effectively balance the heat distribution, the maximum gate pitch is located at the center position of theactive region 30, in a direction from the center position of theactive region 30 to a position away from the center position, the respective pitches betweenadjacent gates 12 on both sides of thesource 13 decrease sequentially according to a first fixed value or a first change amount, and the respective pitches betweenadjacent gates 12 on both sides of thedrain 14 decrease sequentially according to a second fixed value or a second change amount. The first fixed value or the first change amount is not equal to the second fixed value or the second change amount. - Based on the design and description of the
semiconductor device 10 given in Embodiment one, as shown inFIG. 5 , Embodiment three of the present disclosure further provides asemiconductor chip 20 including a plurality ofsemiconductor devices 10, and the plurality ofsemiconductor devices 10 are connected in parallel. A gate pitch between devices is formed betweenedge gates 12 of any twoadjacent semiconductor devices 10 of thesemiconductor chip 20, and the gate pitches between devices decrease sequentially according to a third fixed value or a third change amount. The setting of the gate pitch between thesemiconductor devices 10 in thesemiconductor chip 20 can effectively alleviate the heat generation between the device edges and balance the heat distribution of the entire chip. It should be understood that thesemiconductor device 10 given in this embodiment has the same structural features as thesemiconductor device 10 described in Embodiment one, so this embodiment will not repeat them. - Alternatively, in order to improve the heat distribution while obtaining a better chip layout, in an embodiment, the third fixed value or the third change amount is less than or equal to twice of the maximum gate pitch inside the
semiconductor device 10 in thesemiconductor chip 20. Alternatively, when the plurality ofsemiconductor devices 10 include acenter device 40 located at the center of theactive region 30 and anedge device 50 away from the center of theactive region 30, the center gate pitch of theedge device 50 is defined as the gate pitch formed by twoadjacent gates 12 at the center of theedge device 50, and the edge gate pitch of thecenter device 40 is defined as the gate pitch formed by any twoadjacent gates 12 away from the center of thecenter device 40. Then, the center gate pitch of theedge device 50 is different from the edge gate pitch of thecenter device 40, for instance, the center gate pitch of theedge device 50 may be greater or smaller than the edge gate pitch of thecenter device 40, or the center gate pitch of thecenter device 40 is different from the center gate pitch of theedge device 50, for instance, the center gate pitch located at thecenter device 40 is greater than the center gate pitch of theedge device 50, or the center gate pitch of eachedge device 50 decreases sequentially according to a change amount or a fixed value, and so on. - As shown in

A gate pitch L between devices is formed betweenedge gates 12 of any twoadjacent semiconductor devices 10 of thesemiconductor chip 20. The distribution rule of the gate pitches inside the plurality ofsemiconductor devices 10 is the same; alternatively, the pitches of thegates 12 on both sides of thesource 13 inside thesemiconductor device 10 are equal and d1, the pitches of thegates 12 on both sides of thedrain 14 inside thesemiconductor device 10 are equal and d2, and they satisfy d2≤d1≤2d2 and are arranged alternately inside eachsemiconductor device 10. The distance L between theedge gates 12 of twoadjacent semiconductor devices 10 at the center of theactive region 30 of thesemiconductor chip 20 is the largest, in a direction from the center position of theactive region 30 of thesemiconductor chip 20 to a position away from the center position, the gate pitches between devices gradually decrease, and ΔL≤2d1. In practical applications, the center loss of theactive region 30 is adjusted according to the size of the chip, alternatively, at least two identical gate pitches between devices may be set near the center position of theactive region 30 of thesemiconductor chip 20. -
FIG. 7 is a top view of a semiconductor chip provided by Embodiment five of the present disclosure. Thesemiconductor chip 20 includes a plurality ofsemiconductor devices 10 which are connected in parallel. Eachsemiconductor device 10 includes a plurality ofgates 12, a plurality ofdrains 14, and a plurality ofsources 13, thegates 12 being located between thesources 13 and thedrains 14. Therein, in thesemiconductor chip 20, a gate pitch is formed between any twoadjacent gates 12, the formed respective gate pitches include at least two unequal gate pitches, the maximum gate pitch of the respective gate pitches is within a first preset range determined according to a pitch of twogates 12 at the two outermost ends in thesemiconductor chip 20 in the gate length direction and a total number ofgates 12 of thesemiconductor chip 20. - Specifically, as shown in
FIG. 8 , assuming that the pitch of twogates 12 at the two outermost ends in thesemiconductor device 20 in the gate length direction is L and the total number ofgates 12 of thesemiconductor device 20 is n, the first preset range satisfies (L/(n−1), L), that is, the maximum gate pitch Lmax in thesemiconductor device 20 satisfies -
- Alternatively, in actual implementation, the minimum gate pitch Lmin of the gate pitches satisfies
-
- By setting the gate pitch in the
semiconductor chip 20, the heat dissipation performance of thesemiconductor chip 20 may be effectively improved while maintaining the overall size and output power of the chip. - Compared with the above-mentioned Embodiment three, Embodiment five is different in that in the plurality of
semiconductor devices 10 in thesemiconductor chip 20 given in this embodiment, all the gate pitches in at least onesemiconductor device 10 are equal. For instance, as shown inFIG. 9 , assuming that thesemiconductor chip 20 includes threesemiconductor devices 10, which are onecenter device 40 and twoedge devices 50 on both sides of thecentral device 40, respectively, all the gate pitches in therespective edge devices 50 may be equal, such as D1=D2=D3, D9=D10=D11, and so on. It should be noted that, in addition to this, in this embodiment, the structure of eachsemiconductor device 10 in the above-mentionedsemiconductor chip 20 may also refer to the specific description of each gate pitch of thesemiconductor device 10 in the above-mentioned Embodiment one; for instance, in the plurality of gate pitches formed by the plurality ofgates 12, in a direction from the center position of theactive region 30 of thesemiconductor chip 20 to a position away from the center position, the respective gate pitches decrease sequentially according to a fixed value or a change amount, etc. This embodiment will not repeat them here specifically. - Compared with Embodiment three, this embodiment also provides that the edge gate pitches between a plurality of
