- a buffer layer 4 made of GaN

- the electron supply layer 6 has a two-dimensional electron gas layer 5a formed immediately below the heterojunction interface between the two layers having a larger band gap energy than the electron transit layer 5.
- the two-dimensional electron gas layer 5a is used as a carrier. That is, when the source electrode 7S and the drain electrode 7D are operated, the electrons supplied to the electron transit layer 5 travel at a high speed in the two-dimensional electron gas layer 5a and move to the drain electrode 7D. At this time, by controlling the voltage supplied to the gate electrode 7G and changing the thickness of the depletion layer immediately below the gate electrode 7G, the electrons moving to the source electrode 7S force drain electrode 7D, that is, the drain current, are controlled. can do.
- the buffer layer 4 included in the HEMT 1 will be described.
- the noffer layer 4 is doped with an impurity force S and has a high resistance so as to reduce the leakage current generated in this layer without deteriorating the current collapse as a characteristic of HEMT1.
- Such a buffer layer In the formation of 4 the present inventors first found that it is preferable to dope carbon (C) as an impurity into this layer.
- the present inventors presume that the impurity concentration force in the nota layer 4 contributes to the resistance of this layer and the current collab of HEMT1, and as an impurity that makes it easier to control the addition concentration in device fabrication.
- carbon is preferred. Specifically, by using carbon as an impurity, the impurity concentration distribution in the notch layer 4 is made finer than when doping Zn, Mg, etc. used in Patent Documents 1 and 2. It became possible to control. In particular, at the interface with the electron transit layer 5, the carbon concentration can be changed steeply in the stacking direction without diffusing carbon in the electron transit layer 5.
- FIG. 1 is a graph showing the results of this derivation.
- the withstand voltage of HEMT1 is a characteristic that uniquely corresponds to the resistance of the nother layer 4, and the resistance of the buffer layer 4 increases as the withstand voltage increases.
- the current collapse is performed by sweeping the source-drain voltage (voltage between the source electrode 7S and the drain electrode 7D) in the range of 0 to 10V and 0 to 30V when HEMT1 is turned on. It is the ratio of the current value obtained for 10V. In other words, this current collabs indicates that the larger the value is and closer to “1.0”, the better the reproducibility of the output current characteristic of HEMT1.
- Carbon concentration is S IMS (secondary
- the current collab decreases (deteriorates) as the carbon concentration in the buffer layer 4 increases, and particularly when the carbon concentration increases to about IX 10 2 ° cm 3 or more. It turns out that falls rapidly.
- the withstand voltage that is, the resistance of the buffer layer 4 decreases as the carbon concentration in the noffer layer 4 decreases, particularly when the carbon concentration decreases to about 1 X 10 17 cm 3 or less. I understand that At this time, the layer thickness of the electron transit layer 5 is set to 0.
- the carbon concentration doped into the notfer layer 4 is equal to or less than the concentration at which the current collab changes rapidly with respect to this carbon concentration, and with respect to this carbon concentration. It has been found that it is preferable that the breakdown voltage of HEMT1 is equal to or higher than the concentration at which it rapidly changes. Specifically, it has been found that the carbon concentration doped in the notch layer 4 is preferably 1 ⁇ 10 17 cm 3 or more and IX 10 2 ° cm 3 or less. When the carbon concentration is within this range, HEMT1 has practically effective characteristics with current collabs of 0.8 or higher and breakdown voltage of 400V or higher.
- the breakdown voltage is 75 OV or more.
- the withstand voltage required when using AC power supplied as a commercial power supply in Japan is about 400V. If the withstand voltage is 750V or more, it is also required for commercial power supply in most other countries. Can satisfy the withstand voltage. Furthermore, if the carbon concentration is 5 ⁇ 10 17 cm 3 or more and 5 ⁇ 10 18 cm 3 or less, the withstand voltage is 750 V or more and the current collapse can be 0.9 or more, which is more preferable.
- the present inventors have found that the distance from the layer serving as the current path between the electrodes to the buffer layer as the high resistance layer (layer thickness) in the compound semiconductor layer is 1S breakdown voltage and current collaboration. I guess it will contribute. In the field effect transistor, this distance corresponds to the layer thickness from the channel layer to the high resistance layer.
- the channel layer is a two-dimensional electron gas layer 5a formed immediately below the heterojunction interface between the electron transit layer 5 and the electron supply layer 6, and the two-dimensional electron gas layer 5a to the buffer layer 4 Is approximately equal to the thickness of the electron transit layer 5. Therefore, the present inventors have actually derived the correspondence relationship between the layer thickness of the electron transit layer 5, the withstand voltage, and the current collabs.
- FIG. 3 is a graph showing the derivation result. From Fig. 3, it can be seen that the current collab decreases as the thickness of the electron transit layer 5 decreases, especially when the layer thickness is about 0.05 ⁇ m or less. In addition, the breakdown voltage decreases as the layer thickness of the electron transit layer 5 increases, and particularly when the layer thickness is about 1.0 m or more, the breakdown voltage rapidly decreases. At this time, the carbon concentration of the noffer layer 4 is set to 1 ⁇ 10 19 cm 3 .
- the present inventors determined that the layer thickness of the electron transit layer 5, that is, the layer thickness from the heterojunction interface between the electron transit layer 5 and the electron supply layer 6 to the buffer layer 4, is equal to this layer thickness.
- the current collab is not less than the thickness at which the abrupt change occurs, and not more than the thickness at which the withstand voltage of the HEMT1 changes abruptly with respect to this layer thickness.
- the electronic travel layer It was found that the layer thickness of 5 is preferably 0.05 ⁇ m or more and 1 ⁇ m or less. When the thickness of the electron transit layer 5 is within this range, HEMT1 has practically effective characteristics with current collabs of 0.8 or more and withstand voltage of 400 V or more.
- the breakdown voltage is S750V or more. In this case, the breakdown voltage required for commercial power can be satisfied in most countries including Japan. Furthermore, if the thickness of the electron transit layer 5 is 0.05 m or more and 0.1 m or less, a withstand voltage of 800 V or more can be obtained, which is particularly suitable for applications requiring a withstand voltage.
- the buffer layer 4 is formed so that the doped carbon concentration is 1 ⁇ 10 17 cm 3 or more and 1 ⁇ 10 2Q cm 3 or less.
- the electron transit layer 5 is formed so that the layer thickness is 0.05 m or more and: m or less.
- the notch layer 4 is increased in resistance without deteriorating current collabs, and the leakage current generated in the notch layer 4 is reduced.
- the electron transit layer 5 is made of high-purity GaN so that current collabs do not occur due to the impurity concentration of this layer.
- the carbon concentration is 1 ⁇ 10 17 cm. 3 or less
- HEMT1 is mounted on substrate 2 with MOC VD (Metal Organic and hemical Vapor

- a low temperature buffer layer 3 having a GaN force of 30 nm thickness and epitaxial growth is grown on the substrate 2 at a growth temperature of 550 ° C.
- TMGa and NH were introduced at flow rates of 58 ⁇ mol / min and 12 lZmin, respectively.
- a buffer layer 4 made of GaN doped with carbon having a layer thickness of 3 ⁇ m is grown epitaxially on the low-temperature buffer layer 3 at a growth temperature of 1050 ° C. At this time, by controlling the growth rate, the carbon concentration in the buffer layer 4 is set to 1 ⁇ 10 17 cm 3 or more and 1 ⁇ 10 2Q cm 3 or less. [0049] Continue! /, Introduce TMGa and NH at flow rates of 19 ⁇ mol / min and 12 lZmin, respectively.
- an electron transit layer 5 made of GaN having a layer thickness of 0.05 to 0.1 ⁇ m is grown epitaxially on the buffer layer 4 at a growth temperature of 1050 ° C.
- trimethylaluminum (TMA1), TMGa, and NH are introduced at flow rates of 100 molZmin, 19 ⁇ mol / min, and 12 lZmin, respectively.
- an electron supply layer 6 made of AlGaN having a layer thickness of 30 nm is grown epitaxially on the electron transit layer 5 at a growth temperature of 1050 ° C.
- 100% hydrogen is used as a carrier gas for introducing TMA1, TMGa, and NH.
- a mask made of a SiO film is formed on the electron supply layer 6 by patterning using photolithography, and a source electrode 7S and a drain electrode 7D are formed.
- An opening corresponding to each electrode shape is formed in the region to be formed. Then, Al, Ti and Au are vapor-deposited in this order in this opening to form the source electrode 7S and the drain electrode 7D. Further, the mask on the electron supply layer 6 is removed and the SiO 2 film is again formed on the electron supply layer 6.
- the notch layer 4 is doped with carbon force S, and the carbon concentration in the nofer layer 4 is equal to the current of the HEMT1 with respect to this carbon concentration.
- the concentration is less than the concentration at which Collabs changes rapidly, and more than the concentration at which the pressure resistance of HEMT1 changes abruptly with respect to this carbon concentration, specifically, 1 X 10 17 cm 3 or more, 1 X 10 2 ° cm— 3 or less. Therefore, in HEMT1, the buffer layer 4 can be increased in resistance without deteriorating the current collapse, the leakage current generated in the buffer layer 4 can be reduced, and the HEMT1 itself can be increased in breakdown voltage.
- the heterojunction interfacial force in the compound semiconductor layer up to the buffer layer 4, that is, the layer thickness of the electron transit layer 5, is such that the current collab of HEMT1 is abrupt with respect to this layer thickness. More than the changing thickness and less than the thickness at which the withstand voltage of HEMT1 changes abruptly with respect to this layer thickness, specifically 0.05 ⁇ m or more and 1 ⁇ m or less. For this reason, HEMT1 can increase the resistance of buffer layer 4 without deteriorating current collapse, reduce the leakage current generated in buffer layer 4, and increase the breakdown voltage of HEMT1 itself.

- the HEMT 11 according to the second embodiment is laminated between the nother layer 14 and the electron transit layer 15, and also has a counter force accumulation layer from the electron transit layer 15 to the buffer layer 14. Since the carbon concentration transition layer 18 doped with carbon is added so that the additive concentration increases according to the distance in the direction, the current collabs, withstand voltage, and the breakdown voltage are changed according to the transition tendency (transition type) of the carbon concentration. Can be controlled finely.
- the carbon concentration of the buffer layer 14 is 1 ⁇ 10 17 cm— 3 or more and 1 ⁇ 10 2 ° cm ”3 or less
- the carbon concentration of the electron transit layer 15 is 1 ⁇ 10 17 cm 3
- the carbon concentration transition The carbon concentration in layer 18 continuously or stepwise transitions from the carbon concentration in electron transit layer 15 to the carbon concentration in buffer layer 14 depending on the distance in the stacking direction from electron transit layer 15 to buffer layer 14. Therefore, it is possible to increase the resistance of the buffer layer 14 and the carbon concentration transition layer 18 without deteriorating the current collab, and to reduce the leakage current generated in the buffer layer 14 and the carbon concentration transition layer 18.
- the HEMT11 itself can have a high breakdown voltage.
- the carbon concentration of the carbon concentration transition layer 18 has been described as transitioning from the carbon concentration of the electron transit layer 15 to the carbon concentration of the buffer layer 14, but the interface with respect to the electron transit layer 15 has been described. On the other hand, the carbon concentration of the carbon concentration transition layer 18 and the electron transit layer 15 does not necessarily have to be equal. Similarly, at the interface to the buffer layer 14, the carbon concentration transition layer 18 and the buffer layer 14 may The carbon concentration is not necessarily equal.
- the concentration of carbon Roh Ffa layer 14 is 1 X 10 17 cm 3 has been described as being 1 X 10 2Q cm 3 or less, a carbon concentration transition layer 18 at the interface to the buffer layer 14 When the carbon concentration is 1 ⁇ 10 17 cm 3 or more and 1 ⁇ 10 2Q cm 3 or less, the carbon concentration of the notfer layer 14 is not necessarily within the above range.
