背景技术Background technique
电力电子器件是电力电子系统的核心元件。随着电力电子技术的快速发展,传统的硅材料以及第二代半导体材料局限性日益凸显,由于电力系统在高频化、低损耗和大功率容量等方面的迫切需求。以GaN和SiC为代表的第三代宽禁带半导体材料得到了飞速的发展。GaN具有禁带宽度大、饱和空穴漂移速度高、临界击穿电场大、化学性质稳定等特点。与SiC材料相比,GaN具有其独特的特性,例如压电极化和自发极化效应,由于极化效应的存在,AlGaN/GaN异质结结构中具有高密度、高迁移率的二维电子气(2DEG)面密度约10 13cm -2,迁移率高于1500cm 2/(V·s)。采用AlGaN/GaN异质结制备的HEMT,使得GaN器件具有低导通电阻和高工作频率,可以实现大功率、更高频率、更小体积和更高温度的要求。 Power electronic devices are the core components of power electronic systems. With the rapid development of power electronics technology, the limitations of traditional silicon materials and second-generation semiconductor materials have become increasingly prominent due to the urgent needs of power systems in terms of high frequency, low loss, and high power capacity. The third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials represented by GaN and SiC have been developed rapidly. GaN has the characteristics of large forbidden band width, high saturation hole drift speed, large critical breakdown electric field, and stable chemical properties. Compared with SiC materials, GaN has its unique characteristics, such as piezoelectric polarization and spontaneous polarization effects. Due to the polarization effect, the AlGaN/GaN heterojunction structure has high-density and high-mobility two-dimensional electrons. The surface density of 2DEG is about 10 13 cm -2 , and the mobility is higher than 1500 cm 2 /(V·s). The HEMT prepared with AlGaN/GaN heterojunction enables GaN devices to have low on-resistance and high operating frequency, which can achieve the requirements of high power, higher frequency, smaller volume and higher temperature.
商用的p-GaN栅HEMT阈值电压在+1.5V左右,最高的正向栅极工作电压约为7V,而电力系统中Si基的功率开关器件阈值电压普遍在3V以上,并且正向栅极工作电压可以达到18V。除了提高p-GaN栅HEMT阈值电压和栅电压摆幅外,发展GaN功率单片集成,以减小封装中的寄生电感和缩短栅极回路,也是提高电路稳定性、提高开关速度的重要研究方向。单芯片集成最常用的CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)反相器,具有低的功耗、高噪声容限、高逻辑摆幅、高输入阻抗和低输入电容等优点。The threshold voltage of commercial p-GaN gate HEMT is about +1.5V, and the highest forward gate operating voltage is about 7V, while the threshold voltage of Si-based power switching devices in power systems is generally above 3V, and the forward gate works The voltage can reach 18V. In addition to increasing the threshold voltage and gate voltage swing of p-GaN gate HEMT, the development of GaN power monolithic integration to reduce parasitic inductance in the package and shorten the gate loop is also an important research direction to improve circuit stability and increase switching speed . The single chip integrates the most commonly used CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) inverter, which has the advantages of low power consumption, high noise tolerance, high logic swing, high input impedance and low input capacitance.
目前,研制的GaN CMOS的性能与理论性能之间差距较大,其中n沟道AlGaN/GaN HEMT器件研究已经比较成熟。基于极化2DHG的p沟道GaN HEMT器件仍然是GaN领域的重要研究方向。p沟道GaN器件还面临许多的问题,其中最主要的问题是空穴的低迁移率和常关型的技术。目前报道的空穴最高迁移率为43cm 2/V·s,如此低的空穴迁移率使得p沟道器件电流密度非常低。同时,2DHG的面密度可以达到10 13,较难耗尽,这使得实现高电流密度、 高开关比的常关型p沟道器件非常困难。目前实现常关型p沟道器件的方法主要有凹槽栅、AlGaN盖帽层及2DEG背栅调控技术,然而这些技术都会牺牲器件的输出电流和开关比。凹槽栅结构具有其独特的优势,例如,结构上容易实现、低栅极漏电和大栅极电压摆幅等,是当下最流行的实现p沟道GaN HEMT的一种方法。但是,由于刻蚀所带来的刻蚀损伤和界面态问题一直难以解决,使得现有p沟道HEMT器件的性能距离理论值相差甚远。例如,现有的一种p沟道GaNHEMT器件的结构如图1a-图1b所示,该器件采用不同浓度的双层Mg掺杂的p-GaN盖帽层结构,器件性能如图2a、图2b所示,导通电阻400Ω·mm,输出电流5mA/mm,开关比为6×105。器件性能已经达到目前所研究的p沟道GaN HEMT器件较高水平,但是与GaN的理论极限还有很大的距离,器件的输出电流、导通电阻和开关比还有很大的改进空间。 At present, there is a large gap between the performance and theoretical performance of the developed GaN CMOS. Among them, the research on n-channel AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices has been relatively mature. The p-channel GaN HEMT device based on polarization 2DHG is still an important research direction in the GaN field. P-channel GaN devices still face many problems, the most important of which is the low mobility of holes and normally-off technology. The highest hole mobility reported so far is 43cm 2 /V·s. Such a low hole mobility makes the current density of p-channel devices very low. At the same time, the areal density of 2DHG can reach 10 13 , which is more difficult to deplete, which makes it very difficult to realize a normally-off p-channel device with high current density and high switching ratio. At present, the methods to realize normally-off p-channel devices mainly include groove gate, AlGaN cap layer and 2DEG back gate control technology, but these technologies will sacrifice the output current and switching ratio of the device. The grooved gate structure has its unique advantages, such as easy realization in structure, low gate leakage and large gate voltage swing, etc., and it is currently the most popular method to realize p-channel GaN HEMT. However, it has been difficult to solve the problems of etching damage and interface state caused by etching, so that the performance of the existing p-channel HEMT devices is far from the theoretical value. For example, the structure of an existing p-channel GaN HEMT device is shown in Figure 1a-Figure 1b. The device adopts a p-GaN cap layer structure doped with two layers of Mg at different concentrations. The device performance is shown in Figure 2a and Figure 2b. As shown, the on-resistance is 400Ω·mm, the output current is 5mA/mm, and the on-off ratio is 6×105. The device performance has reached the higher level of the p-channel GaN HEMT devices currently studied, but there is still a long way to go to the theoretical limit of GaN. There is still much room for improvement in the output current, on-resistance and switching ratio of the device.
