Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor field effect transistor, a semiconductor integrated circuit, and methods for manufacturing them.
- Field effect transistors are widely used as electronic components such as amplifiers and switches, and are classified into several types depending on the form of a current path (channel).
- One type uses two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG).
- Force Field effect transistors using 2DEG are divided into two types depending on the form of the interface that forms 2 DEG.
- One is 2DEG formed at the interface of the oxide film Z semiconductor crystal, and the other is formed at the interface of the same semiconductor crystal Z semiconductor crystal.
- a typical example of the former is a Si-MOS field effect transistor, and a typical example of the latter is a GaN-based high electron mobility field effect transistor (GaN-HEMT).
- a Si-MOS field effect transistor has a configuration in which a channel with an inverted polarity is formed at the Si oxide film ZSi semiconductor crystal interface by controlling the gate bias, and the gate bias is forward (n-type channel). If it is applied to a positive voltage), more carriers can be induced at the interface within the range of the breakdown voltage of the oxide film, and a higher current density can be obtained. is doing. However, since electrons travel through different interfaces of the crystal system, they are scattered by the disorder of the crystal lattice at the interface, so that sufficient electron travel speed cannot be obtained, and there are limits to amplification of high-frequency signals and high-speed switching. There is a problem.
- GaN-HEMT an AlGa N layer, which is a similar semiconductor crystal with different affinity, and a GaN layer are bonded to form a channel in which carriers are induced at the bonding interface. ing. Since this interface is a heterojunction interface of similar crystals, electron scattering is small and a high electron traveling speed can be realized, which is suitable for high-frequency signal amplification and high-speed switching.
- the forward gate via It is almost impossible to improve the drain current density by applying the source. This is because the difference in electron affinity between crystals of the same type is small, so that the induced carriers easily pass through the crystal with low electron affinity and flow into the gate electrode, so-called gate leakage occurs.
- Non-patent Document Do a method for increasing the difference in electron affinity between the AlGaN layer and the GaN layer by increasing the A1 composition of the AlGaN layer.
- Non-patent Document Do a method of laminating a film made of a material having an electron affinity smaller than that of the semiconductor crystal layer in contact with the semiconductor crystal layer is also known (Non-patent Document 2).
