实现III族氮化物半导体集成电路的关键在于突破利用III族氮化物半导体的互补型电路技术。以传统的硅基集成电路为例,其逻辑电路的基础结构是以互补型金属氧化物半导体(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor,CMOS)构成的。CMOS是由P沟道MOS器件和N沟道MOS器件共同构成的互补型集成电路。对于III族氮化物半导体材料来说,基于二维电子气(Two-Dimensional Electron Gas,2DEG)的N沟道晶体管(High Electron Mobility Transistor,HEMT)发展较为成熟,而对于P型AlGaN/GaN结构的研究较少,具有很多挑战,比如如何克服源区、漏区的P型掺杂困难,实现P沟道器件和N沟道器件的单片集成等。因此,当前互补型高迁移率晶体管(Complementary High Mobility Transistor,CHMT)技术的难点在于研制P沟道晶体管(High Hole Mobility Transistor,HHMT),即以异质材料界面处的二维空穴气(Two-Dimensional Hole Gas,2DHG)作为P沟道层来制作P沟道晶体管,并与N沟道晶体管实现单片集成。
另外,也仍存在其它技术难点需要攻克。由于III族氮化物半导体异质结具有强极化效应,在异质结界面处存在较高浓度的二维载流子气,使用这种二维载流子气制作的高迁移率晶体管通常是常开型的。然而,在实际电路应用中,为节省功率及控制方便,通常需要常关型的晶体管。因此,具有高耐受电压、高功率和低导通电阻等高性能的增强型高迁移率晶体管的实现一直是业界重点关注的问题之一。

具体地,如图41所示,本公开内容的集成电路结构是基于III族氮化物半导体的互补型集成电路,包括:至少一个第一晶体管和至少一个第二晶体管。第一晶体管包括:具有第一极化结的第一氮化物半导体结构,其具有第一导电类型二维载流子气;第一栅电极,其设置在所述第一氮化物半导体结构上;第一源电极和第一漏电极,其相对分布在所述第一栅电极的两侧,并与所述第一导电类型二维载流子气耦合。第二晶体管包括:具有第二极化结的第二氮化物半导体结构,其具有第二导电类型二维载流子气;第二栅电极,其设置在所述第二氮化物半导体结构上;第二源电极和第二漏电极,其相对分布在第二栅电极的两侧,并与所述第二导电类型二维载流子气电耦合。所述第一极化结与所述第二极化结具有不同的晶向;所述第一导电类型二维载流子气与所述第二导电类型二维载流子气的导电类型不同;所述第一导电类型二维载流子气与所述第二导电类型二维载流子气分别在平行于所述第一极化结与所述第二极化结方向上形成载流子沟道。
本公开内容的集成电路结构可广泛用于具有反相器、放大器、逆变器、与非门、或非门等模拟和/或数字集成电路的电子设备中,以实现运算、放大、传输、变换/转换、逻辑等功能。
参照图1-图7来描述根据本公开的一种集成电路结构。图1示意的是高电子迁移率晶体管(High Electron Mobility Transistor,HEMT)及高空穴迁移率晶体管(High Hole Mobility Transistor,HHMT)的电路符号。HEMT 100包括第一源电极101、第一漏电极103、第一栅电极102和第一体电极104,其中在第一源电极101和第一漏电极103之间是二维电子气(Two-Dimensional Electron Gas,2DEG)沟道105,实心圆球代表电子。HHMT 200包括第二源电极201、第二漏电极203、第二栅电极202和第二体电极204,其中在第二源电极201和第二漏电极203之间是二维空穴气(Two-Dimensional Hole Gas,2DHG)沟道205,空心圆球代表空穴。第一栅电极102和第二栅电极202分别控制HEMT 100和HHMT 200导 电沟道的导通和关断,第一体电极104和第二体电极204分别控制HEMT100和HHMT200的阈值电压。在本公开中,HEMT100可作为第一晶体管,HHMT200可作为第二晶体管,反之亦可。
图2示出了一种III族氮化物半导体的集成电路结构10的平面图和A-A向剖视图。根据附图2,集成电路结构10包括成核层121、第一氮化物半导体层122、第二氮化物半导体层123和多个电极101、102、103、104、201、202、203、204。正如下面将要更详细描述的,集成电路结构10包括形成在第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124内或其上的第一导电类型(例如N-沟道或N-类型)的至少一个第一晶体管100,以及形成在第一氮化物半导体层122的第二区域125内或其上的第二导电类型(例如P-沟道或P-类型)的至少一个第二晶体管200。由于晶体管100、200在相同半导体层(即第一氮化物半导体层122)上形成,所以集成电路结构10和晶体管100、200都被认为是单片集成的。此外,由于晶体管100、200是不同导电类型,所以集成电路结构10可被认为是互补型集成电路。再者,由于在其上形成晶体管100、200的基层是第一氮化物半导体层122,所以集成电路结构10在本公开中可被称为互补型氮化物集成电路结构。
示例性的,成核层121可以是AlN层。可选地,也可没有成核层。第一氮化物半导体层122可由无掺杂剂的GaN形成。可选地,第一氮化物半导体层122也可包括一个或多个氮化物半导体子层,可由选自于GaN、InN、AlN、AlGaN、InAlN、InGaN、AlGaInN或其它合适的合金材料形成。第一氮化物半导体层122可以具有1微米至10微米范围内的厚度。可选地,第一氮化物半导体层122可以更厚或更薄。应注意,本公开中所述的数值范围仅作为示例而非对本公开的限制。另外,第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124是远离成核层121的区域,第一氮化物半导体层122的第二区域125是与成核层121相对或相邻的区域。所述第一区域124和所述第二区域125的表面是不同的晶面,例如前者是(0001)面,后者是(0001
-)面。换句话说,第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124与第二区域125的晶向不同,例如前者是<0001>晶向,后者是
晶向,所述<0001>晶向与
晶向互为反方向。
为了增强氮化物集成电路结构10的机械稳定性,可使第一氮化物半导体层122外延在另一个衬底120上。衬底120可为硅衬底、蓝宝石衬底、碳化硅衬底或氮化镓衬底等等。换句话说,可被用于实现第一氮化物半导体层122的外延生长的衬底可以由选自与硅、蓝宝石、碳化硅、氮化镓或任何其它合适的材料来形成。可选地,第一氮化物半导体层122本身可包括衬底120。因此,本公开所用的术语“第一氮化物半导体层”可以指氮化镓衬底或生长在衬底上的氮化物半导体层。可选地,为调谐阈值电压或实现常关型特性,或为了实现欧姆接触,可对第一氮化物半导体层122进行适当掺杂,后面会进一步详细论述。
第二氮化物半导体层123形成在第一氮化物半导体层122上,与第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124和第二区域125分别形成叠层结构。第二氮化物半导体层123是势垒层,或是载流子供给层,例如可由从III族氮化物的合金形成。可选地,第二氮化物半导体层123可包括一个或多个氮化物半导体子层,可由AlGaN、InAlN、InGaN、AlN或其它合适的合金材料形成。第二氮化物半导体层123可由具有在大约20%至30%范围内的铝原子百分比的AlGaN合金形成。可选地,铝的百分比可更低或更高。
第一氮化物半导体层122具有第一带隙,并且第二氮化物半导体层123具有第二带隙,第二带隙大于第一带隙。第一氮化物半导体层122例如GaN层可以具有大约3.4eV的带隙,第二氮化物半导体层123例如AlGaN层可以具有大约4.0eV的带隙。可选地,第二氮化物半导体层123的带隙可更高或更低。在任何情况下,第一氮化物半导体层122和第二氮化物半导体层123的带隙彼此不同。由此,第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124与第二氮化物半导体层123在接触界面具有第一极化结126,形成第一氮化物半导体结构;第一氮化物半导体层122的第二区域125与第二氮化物半导体层123在接触界面具有第二极化结127,形成第二氮化物半导体结构。换句话说,第一氮化物半导体结构包括第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124与第二氮化物半导体层123的叠层结构,该叠层结构可以是多个子层的叠层结构;第二氮化物半导体结构包括第一氮化物半导体层122的第二区域125与第二氮化物半导体层123的叠层结构,该叠层结构可以是多个子层的叠层结构。可选地,叠层结构例如可以是第一氮化物半导体层122的第一子层/第二子层和第二氮化物半导体层123的第一子层/第二子层的叠层结构。所述第一氮化物半导体结构和所述第二氮化物半导体结构是同时或分别形成的。由于自发极化和压电极化效应的存在,并且第一氮化物半导体层122和第二氮化物半导体层123缺乏反转对称性,因此与<0001>晶向或
晶向垂直的晶面(0001)面和(0001
-)面是极性面,在两者接触的过渡区域分别形成极化结。
继续参照图2,第一极化结126及第二极化结127具有不同的晶向,例如前者是<0001>晶向,后者是
晶向,并且,第一极化结126和第二极化结127具有垂直界面。相对应的,在第一极化结126的垂直界面处有很强的极化正电荷,在第二极化结127的垂直界面处有很强的极化负电荷,由此,因这些极化正电荷或负电荷的存在,会分别吸引并导致界面处二维电子气(例如可称为第一导电类型或第二导电类型)与二维空穴气(相对应地,例如可称为第二导电类型或第一导电类型)的生成。正如在下文将要更详细描述的,第一导电类型二维载流子气与第二导电类型二维载流子气分别在平行于第一极化结126与第二极化结127方向上形成载流子沟道。其中,二维电子气位于与第一晶体管100的导电沟道105相对应的区域中,并提供在第一晶体管100的第一源电极101、第一漏电极103之间流动的电流;二维空穴气位于与第二晶体管200的导电沟道205相对应的区域中,并提供在第二晶体管200的第二源电极201、第二漏电极203之间流动的电流。

此外,虽然第一晶体管100和第二晶体管200被示为彼此直接相邻,但是两者可以在空间上彼此分离(虽然仍然在相同的第一氮化物半导体层122上),其中任何数目的插入器件,和/或一种或多种隔离结构可存在于晶体管100、200之间。例如,如图32所示,隔离结构可以包括隔离沟槽及填入沟槽的隔离介质。
除了可以实现各种互补氮化物集成电路结构10的电路的上述例子,各种氮化物集成电路结构10可以被实现在包括各种其它类型电路的电子设备中。这种电路包括但并不限于AC至DC转换器(整流器)、DC至DC转换器、DC至AC逆变器、AC至AC转换器、放大器以及各种其它类型的电路。因此,上述给出的例子并不意在限制性的。
氮化物集成电路结构10还可以包括附加有源和/或无源器件的任何组合,包括至少一个第一晶体管100(例如HEMT)和至少一个第二晶体管200(例如HHMT)、二极管、电阻、电容、电感等等,这些 连同各种器件之间的导电互连的任何组合,能够实现运算、放大、传输、转换、逻辑等功能。
以下参照图8-40来详细描述用于制造上述氮化物集成电路结构10的制造方法。为实现前述互补型氮化物集成电路结构10,需要在一衬底上形成HEMT和HHMT,优选的是同时实现HEMT和HHMT,当然也可分别实现HEMT和HHMT,并通过形成含掺杂结构的沟道结构而实现常关型晶体管。当然,从原理上说,也可由沟道结构外的掺杂氮化物半导体栅电极实现。在本公开中,主要就形成含掺杂结构的沟道结构进行说明。另外,从原理上说,要同时实现HEMT和HHMT,可以有三种工艺路线:无限制生长得到的垂直沟道,水平沟槽限制生长得到的垂直沟道,垂直沟槽限制生长得到的垂直沟道。但是由于水平沟槽限制可以获得最高的集成密度并且工艺相对简单,所以,在本公开中只以这种情况说明。
如图8-9所示,提供一衬底120,所述衬底可以是采用(110)或(112)面的硅衬底。可选地,衬底120可为蓝宝石衬底、碳化硅衬底或氮化镓衬底等等。在所述衬底120第一表面801上形成第一绝缘层802,示例性的,所述第一绝缘层802为热氧化或气相沉积形成的SiO
2层。示例性地,所述第一绝缘层802的厚度约为0.5微米。第一绝缘层802上形成有光刻胶层,光刻胶层上形成有可露出下方的第一绝缘层802的开口。
如图10所示,在所述第一绝缘层802上的光刻胶层上形成的开口处,刻蚀所述第一绝缘层802和其下方的所述衬底120,形成垂直的多个第一沟槽803,所述第一沟槽803是间隔排列,所述第一沟槽的侧壁具有六角对称的晶格结构,例如Si(111)面。
如图11所示,在前述形成的结构基础上,共面沉积形成牺牲层804,示例性地,所述牺牲层804是氮化硅层,其厚度约为100纳米。可以理解的是,所述第一绝缘层802和牺牲层804的选择,以其二者之间具有高蚀刻选择比即可,例如在刻蚀所述牺牲层804时,刻蚀剂对所述牺牲层804的进行刻蚀时,基本上不对第一绝缘层802进行蚀刻,或对其蚀刻极其缓慢。
如图12所示,进行干法刻蚀,去除所述第一绝缘层802表面上的所述牺牲层804和所述第一沟槽803底部上的所述牺牲层804,保留所述第一沟槽803侧表面,比如第一侧表面805和第二侧表面806上的所述第一牺牲层804。
如图13所示,通过氧化工艺,在所述沟槽的底面上形成第二绝缘层807(二氧化硅层),所述第一沟槽803的侧表面,比如第一侧表面805和第二侧表面806由于保留的所述第一牺牲层804的保护没有被氧化,所述第二绝缘层807可以避免在后续生长氮化物半导体时镓原子与硅衬底的不兼容,避免出现回熔(melt-back)现象。同时,该第二绝缘层807还可以有效阻绝氮化物半导体与硅衬底之间的漏电流,并降低硅衬底所带来的寄生电容。
如图14所示,通过选择性湿法腐蚀,利用所述第一牺牲层804和所述第二绝缘层807的刻蚀选择比,去除所述第一沟槽803侧表面,比如第一和第二侧表面805、806上的所述第一牺牲层804。
如图15所示,通过氧化工艺,在所述第一沟槽803的第一和第二侧表面805、806上分别形成较薄的第三绝缘层808(二氧化硅层),第三绝缘层808的厚度设置为与第一、第二绝缘层的厚度的不同。第三绝缘层808的厚度满足在后续去除所述第三绝缘层808时候,仍然还有足够厚的第一和第二绝缘层以保护所述衬底即可。这些绝缘层可以避免在后续生长氮化物半导体时镓原子与硅衬底的不兼容,避免出现回熔(melt-back)现象,对于硅衬底上制作氮化物半导体器件是必不可少的。
如图16所示,在前述结构上涂敷光刻胶809,通过本领域技术人员熟知的曝光显影工艺,在所述第一沟槽803之间形成光刻图形以暴露所述第一沟槽803之间的部分所述第三绝缘层808和所述第一绝缘层802。
如图17所示,去除暴露出的所述多个第一沟槽803的侧表面上的部分所述第三绝缘层808和所述第一绝缘层802,由于所述第一绝缘层802的厚度远大于所述第三绝缘层808的厚度,因此,在去除部分所述第三绝缘层808的过程中,所述暴露的第一绝缘层802部分仅被蚀刻很少的厚度并不会被完全去除。然后去除剩下的所述光刻胶809,从而使得在所述第一沟槽803中暴露出所述衬底120的一部分侧表面805、806。
如图18所示,由于硅衬底与镓之间的回熔(melt-back)效果,硅衬底上不能直接沉积GaN。通常需要先沉积AlN的成核层,再在此基础上形成后续的氮化物半导体结构。因此,在暴露出的所述第一沟槽803侧表面805、806上分别形成单晶AlN成核层121,所述单晶AlN晶体的生长方向是<0001>,其 表面是(0001)面。需要指出的是,AlN的选择性很低,在通常的工艺条件下容易在绝缘层上也生成多晶或非晶的AlN,这对形成所需的结构是不利的。因此,需要在形成了成核层后另行去除二氧化硅层上的AlN。或者在生长AlN成核层时引入含氯气体以保证仅在所述硅衬底上生长而不在所述二氧化硅层生长。
可以理解的是,如果采用其他衬底例如Al
2O
3,则成核层也可以是GaN。此时通过工艺调节可以较容易实现仅在暴露的衬底表面成核。
如图19所示,然后以成核层121为核心侧向外生长第一氮化物层半导体122,由于所述第一沟槽803的存在,所述第一氮化物半导体层122从成核层开始沿着所述第一沟槽803开始侧向外延生长,生长方向为<0001>,所述<0001>晶向与
晶向互为反方向。所述第一氮化物半导体层122还可以在所述沟槽外生长,通过平坦化或蚀刻技术去除所述第一沟槽803外的第一氮化物半导体层122。侧向外延可以有效提升侧向外延区域的氮化物半导体晶体质量,进而提升器件的电学性能。去除所述沟槽外的第一氮化物半导体层122。可以理解的是,所述第一氮化物半导体层122在所述第一沟槽803外的生长也可以不必去除,而形成突出所述第一沟槽803的部分。
根据本实施例,第一氮化物半导体层122可由无掺杂剂的GaN形成。可选地,第一氮化物半导体层122也可包括一个或多个氮化物半导体子层,可由GaN、InN、AlN、AlGaN、InAlN、InGaN、AlGaInN或其它合适的合金材料形成。第一氮化物半导体层122可以具有1.0微米至10微米范围内的厚度。可选地,第一氮化物半导体层122可以更厚或更薄。应注意,本公开中所述的数值范围仅作为示例而非对本公开的限制。
可以理解的是,在生长所述第一氮化物半导体层之前,还可以先沉积形成一缓冲层,当然也可以不形成缓冲层。
可选地,还可在第一氮化物半导体层122形成至少一个第二导电类型(例如P-类型)的掺杂区域150,其与前述第一栅电极102在<0001>晶向投影方向上至少部分重叠,并与第一导电类型二维载流子气电耦合,从而基本耗尽该第一导电类型二维载流子气,以实现第一晶体管100为常关型。所述第二导电类型的掺杂区域150的掺杂浓度、尺寸参数等可以通过器件参数设置,以满足基本耗尽第一导电类型二维载流子气,也即耗尽95%-100%的第一导电类型二维载流子气。第一导电类型二维载流子气的浓度越高,相应的掺杂浓度可以随之提高。
可选地,还可在第一氮化物半导体层122形成至少一个第一导电类型(例如N-类型)的掺杂区域140,其与前述第二栅电极202在<0001(—)>晶向投影方向上至少部分重叠,并与第二导电类型二维载流子气电耦合,从而基本耗尽该第二导电类型二维载流子气以实现第二晶体管200为常关型。所述第一导电类型(例如N-类型)的掺杂区域140的掺杂浓度、尺寸参数等可以通过器件参数设置,以满足基本耗尽第二导电类型二维载流子气,也即耗尽95%-100%的第二导电类型二维载流子气。第二导电类型二维载流子气的浓度越高,相应的掺杂浓度可以随之提高。
可选地,还可在第一氮化物半导体层122同时形成至少一个第二导电类型(例如P-类型)的掺杂区域150和第一导电类型(例如N-类型)的掺杂区域140,其分别基本耗尽第一栅电极102和第二栅电极202附近的二维载流子气,以同时实现第一晶体管100和第二晶体管200为常关型。
如图20所示,对所述第一氮化物半导体层122之间的硅衬底120进行刻蚀,去除所述第一绝缘层802以及部分的所述硅衬底120,形成多个第二沟槽810。在对硅衬底120进行刻蚀后,第一氮化物半导体层122除成核层外侧表面还可能保存有第三绝缘层808。在此可以去除该第三绝缘层808,由此暴露了所述第一氮化物半导体层122的<0001>和
方向上的侧表面180、190,其对应晶面分别为(0001)面和(0001
-)面。换句话说,第一氮化物半导体层122的<0001>方向上的侧表面180为所述第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124,第一氮化物半导体层122的
方向上的侧表面190为所述第一氮化物半导体层122的第二区域125。可选地,也可以先保留第三绝缘层808并在较后的步骤中去除,在此不再赘述。
如图21所示,在所述刻蚀后的衬底120上形成第四绝缘层811以填充所述第二沟槽810,并平坦化,以隔离暴露的所述硅衬底,所述第四绝缘层811示例性的可以为二氧化硅层。
如图22所示,刻蚀掉所述第二沟槽810内的底部及侧壁上的部分所述第四绝缘层811,以暴露部分 所述第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124和第二区域125。
如图23所示,然后在暴露的所述第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124和第二区域125上形成第二氮化物半导体层123,与第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124和第二区域125分别形成叠层结构。可选地,第二氮化物半导体层123是势垒层,或是载流子供给层,可包括一个或多个氮化物半导体子层。第二氮化物半导体层123,可由AlGaN、InAlN、InGaN、AlN或其它合适的合金材料形成。第二氮化物半导体层123可由具有在大约20%至30%范围内的铝原子百分比的AlGaN合金形成。可选地,铝的百分比可更低或更高。
可选地,第一氮化物半导体层122具有第一带隙,并且第二氮化物半导体层123具有第二带隙,第二带隙大于第一带隙。第一氮化物半导体层122例如GaN层可以具有大约3.4eV的带隙,第二氮化物半导体层123例如AlGaN层可以具有大约4.0eV的带隙。可选地,第二氮化物半导体层123的带隙可更高或更低。在任何情况下,第一氮化物半导体层122和第二氮化物半导体层123的带隙彼此不同。
由于自发极化和压电极化效应的存在,并且第一氮化物半导体层122和第二氮化物半导体层123缺乏反转对称性,因此与<0001>晶向或
晶向垂直的晶面(0001)面和(0001
-)面是极性面,在两者接触的过渡区域分别形成极化结。因此,第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124与第二氮化物半导体层123在接触界面具有第一极化结126,形成第一氮化物半导体结构;第一氮化物半导体层122的第二区域125与第二氮化物半导体层123在接触界面具有第二极化结127,形成第二氮化物半导体结构。换句话说,第一氮化物半导体结构包括第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124与第二氮化物半导体层123的叠层结构,该叠层结构可以是多个子层的叠层结构。第二氮化物半导体结构包括第一氮化物半导体层122的第二区域125与第二氮化物半导体层123的叠层结构,该叠层结构可以是多个子层的叠层结构。可选地,叠层结构例如可以是第一氮化物半导体层122的第一子层/第二子层和第二氮化物半导体层123的第一子层/第二子层的叠层结构。所述第一氮化物半导体结构和所述第二氮化物半导体结构是同时形成的。
可选地,所述第一极化结126及第二极化结127具有不同的晶向,例如前者是<0001>晶向,后者是
晶向,并且,第一极化结126和第二极化结127具有垂直界面。第一导电类型二维载流子气与第二导电类型二维载流子气分别在平行于第一极化结126与第二极化结127方向上形成载流子沟道。
如图24所示,在前述结构上形成第五绝缘层812以填充所述第二沟槽810,并光刻所述第五绝缘层812形成源电极、漏电极以及栅电极窗口。如图2所示,采用本领域技术人员公知的技术,例如电子束蒸发技术在源电极窗口、漏电极窗口以及栅电极窗口蒸发Ti、Al、Ti、TiN四层金属,例如厚度可为20nm、130nm、25nm、70nm,并通过剥离、退火后,形成与二维载流子气欧姆接触的欧姆电极,以及与所述第二氮化物半导体层123绝缘或成肖特基接触的栅电极,也即形成所述HEMT100和HHMT200的源电极101、201,漏电极103、203,以及栅电极102、202。具体地,第一源电极101、第一漏电极103相对分布在第一栅电极102的两侧,并与第一导电类型二维载流子气耦合,构成至少一个第一晶体管100。第二源电极201、第二漏电极203相对分布在第二栅电极202的两侧,并与第二导电类型二维载流子气耦合,构成至少一个第二晶体管200。
如图25、图3所示,为控制晶体管的阈值电压,还可在前述结构上形成体电极104、204,其分别与该第二导电类型(例如P-类型)的掺杂区域150以及该第一导电类型(例如N-类型)的掺杂区域140电连接。具体地,可选地,第一晶体管100还包括第一体电极104,其与第一栅电极102相对设置在第一氮化物半导体结构的侧表面上;第二晶体管200还包括第二体电极204,其与第二栅电极202相对设置在第二氮化物半导体结构的侧表面上。
可选地,可以采用氧化工艺形成第六绝缘层811’替代第四绝缘层811对上述第二沟槽中的硅衬底120进行隔离。具体地,以刻蚀部分硅衬底后得到的结构,如图20所示的结构为基础介绍,对其重新编号为图26。以下仅介绍与前述内容不同的结构或方法,具有相同结构及方法的内容就不再详细介绍。
如图27所示,对图26所示的结构进行氧化,在所述第二沟槽810暴露的硅衬底120及所述第一氮化物半导体层122的侧面上形成第六绝缘层811’。由于氮化物半导体不容易被氧化,所以在第一氮化物半导体层122表面形成的第六绝缘层811’相对较薄。
如图28所示,去除环绕所述第一氮化物半导体层122侧面上的第六绝缘层811’,以暴露部分所述 第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124和第二区域125。也可以在形成图20(26)结构的过程中先保留第一氮化物半导体层122侧面上的第三绝缘层808。该第三绝缘层可以保护在图27所示的氧化过程中保护第一氮化物半导体层122侧面并在以后的图28所示步骤中被去除。
如图29所示,然后在暴露的所述第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124和第二区域125上形成第二氮化物半导体层123,与第一氮化物半导体层122的第一区域124和第二区域125分别形成叠层结构。可选地,第二氮化物半导体层123的材质与前述实施例相同。可选地,叠层结构例如可以是第一氮化物半导体层122的第一子层/第二子层和第二氮化物半导体层123的第一子层/第二子层的叠层结构。所述第一氮化物半导体结构和所述第二氮化物半导体结构是同时形成的。
