Definitions
- the invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular relates to a low thermal resistance silicon-based gallium nitride microwave millimeter-wave device material structure and a preparation method.
- gallium nitride have larger band gap, higher critical breakdown electric field, higher electron saturation drift speed, stable chemical performance, as well as physical properties such as high temperature resistance and radiation resistance
- the use of gallium nitride materials to make electronic devices can further reduce chip area, increase operating frequency, increase operating temperature, reduce on-resistance and improve breakdown voltage, etc.
- GaN materials are used in There is great potential in the preparation of microwave and millimeter-wave devices.
- the heterostructure can form a two-dimensional electron gas, and can obtain electron mobility above 1500 cm 2 /V ⁇ s, saturation electron velocity up to 1.5 ⁇ 10 cm 7 /s, and high electron mobility above 1 ⁇ 10 13 cm -2 at room temperature. Two-dimensional electron gas concentration, so that high-speed Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) and High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) devices based on gallium nitride materials can have lower conductivity. on-resistance and higher output current.
- SBD Schottky Barrier Diode
- HEMT High Electron Mobility Transistor
- the higher critical breakdown electric field strength of the gallium nitride material can make the electronic device have a higher breakdown voltage, so that the device can work at a higher working voltage, so that the device has a higher microwave output power density .
- gallium nitride devices Compared with silicon or gallium arsenide microwave electronic devices of the same output power, gallium nitride devices have higher power added efficiency and thus lower energy loss.
- GaN-based materials are mainly deposited on foreign substrates. So far, the substrates used for the growth of gallium nitride materials are mainly silicon carbide and silicon.
- SiC-based GaN devices benefit from the smaller lattice mismatch between SiC and GaN, the higher thermal conductivity of SiC, lower thermal resistance and higher output power density. R & D comparison Earlier, the technology was relatively mature. SiC-based GaN microwave devices have been widely used in military radar, satellite, communication base stations and other fields.
- silicon carbide-based gallium nitride device due to the relatively high price and small size of the silicon carbide substrate, the cost of the silicon carbide-based gallium nitride device is relatively high.
- silicon-based GaN devices due to the large size and low cost of silicon substrate wafers, and the large-scale production advantages of silicon production lines, silicon-based GaN devices have relatively low cost and high cost performance. Silicon-based GaN microwave and millimeter-wave devices are expected to be widely used in mobile communication terminals such as 5G communication base stations and mobile phones in the future.
- GaN-on-SiC devices Compared with GaN-on-SiC devices, an important disadvantage of GaN-on-Si devices is that the thermal resistance is relatively high, resulting in poor heat dissipation performance, thus limiting the output power of GaN-on-Si microwave and millimeter-wave devices. density and efficiency.
- the thermal conductivity of the silicon substrate is relatively poor.
- the room temperature thermal conductivity value of a typical silicon carbide substrate is 4.0W/cm ⁇ K, while the silicon substrate is only 1.5W/cm ⁇ K.
- the epitaxial delay of GaN-based materials is performed on the silicon substrate. Due to the relatively large lattice mismatch between silicon and GaN crystal materials, it is necessary to insert between the active structure of the GaN device and the silicon substrate.

- the crystal material quality of such nucleation layer and transition layer is relatively poor, and the defects are relatively high Many
- the thermal conductivity is also very poor.
- the heat generated by the device itself cannot be dissipated by the buffer layer, the nucleation layer, the transition layer and the substrate in time, resulting in the accumulation of heat in the channel into an obvious self-heating effect.

The first is the thermal conductivity of the GaN channel and buffer layer materials and the following nucleation layers, transition layers and substrate layers.
- the second is the interface thermal resistance between the layers.
- the interface thermal resistance mainly describes the thermal conduction process that occurs between the material interfaces, and its value is the reciprocal of the thermal boundary conductivity. Different thermal conductivities of interface materials lead to thermal coupling.
- the phonon propagation efficiency at the interface determines the interface thermal resistance (TBR). Meanwhile, the lattice mismatch and defects at the interface will increase the TBR.
- the self-heating effect caused by the larger TBR will be more obvious, which is an important factor limiting the heat dissipation performance of the device, so it must be minimized to obtain the optimal performance.
- the silicon substrate should be thinned as much as possible, and then the device after the thinned substrate is diced and transferred to a heat sink with high thermal conductivity.
- most of the products of GaN-on-silicon microwave and millimeter-wave devices are to thin the silicon substrate to 100 ⁇ m, and the technology under development is to thin the silicon substrate to 50 ⁇ m.

-2的二维电子气浓度,由此基于氮化镓材料研制的高速肖特基二极管(Schottky Barrier Diode,简称SBD)和高电子迁移率晶体管(High Electron Mobility Transistor,简称HEMT)器件能够具有更低的导通电阻和更高的输出电流。另外,氮化镓材料的较高的临界击穿电场强度可以使电子器件具有更高的击穿电压,从而使器件能够在更高的工作电压下工作,使器件拥有更高的微波输出功率密度。跟同等输出功率的硅或者砷化镓微波电子器件相比,氮化镓器件具有更高的功率附加效率,从而具有更低的能量损耗。
由于氮化镓自支撑衬底技术的不成熟,目前氮化镓微波毫米波器件中,氮化镓基的材料主要淀积在异质衬底上。目前为止用于氮化镓材料生长的衬底主要有碳化硅和硅。碳化硅基氮化镓的器件得益于碳化硅与氮化镓的较小的晶格失配、碳化硅较高的导热性能,具有较低的热阻和较高的输出功率密度,研发比较早,技术也比较成熟。碳化硅基氮化镓的微波器件已经广泛应用于军事雷达、卫星、通信基站等领域。但是,受限于价格比较高、尺寸比较小的碳化硅衬底,碳化硅基氮化镓器件的成本比较高。而硅基氮化镓器件由于硅衬底晶圆的大尺寸、低成本、和硅生产线的规模生产优势,其成本比较低,性价比比较高。硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件以后有望大规模应用于5G通信基站和手机等移动通信终端。
但是,与碳化硅基氮化镓器件相比,硅基氮化镓器件的一个重要缺点是热阻比较高,从而散热性能比较差,因此限制了硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件的输出功率密度和效率。首先,硅衬底的热导率比较差,典型碳化硅衬底的室温热导率值为4.0W/cm·K,而硅衬底只有1.5W/cm·K。其次,在硅衬底上进行氮化镓基的材料外延时,由于硅与氮化镓晶体材料的晶格失配比较大,需要在氮化镓器件有源结构与硅衬底之间插入很厚的成核层和过渡层,例如渐变铝组分的铝镓氮材料或者氮化铝/氮化镓超晶格材料,这种成核层和过渡层的晶体材料质量比较差,缺陷比较多,热导率也很差。器件自身产生的热量不能及时的被缓冲层、成核层、过渡层以及衬底耗散掉,从而导致热量在沟道里累积成明显的自热效应。决定硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件自热效应严重与否取决于两个方面,第一是GaN沟道与缓冲层材料及以下成核层、过渡层以及衬底各层的热导率,第二便是各 层之间的界面热阻。界面热阻主要描述了发生于材料界面之间的热传导过程,其值为热边界传导率的倒数。界面材料的不同热导率导致了热耦合,声子在界面传播效率决定了界面热阻(TBR)的大小,同时界面的晶格失配与缺陷会使TBR增大。较大的TBR所引起的自热效应将更加明显,是限制器件散热性能的重要因素,因此必须将其降至最小,以得到最优的性能。
目前提高硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件散热性能的方法主要有几种技术路线:
1、器件裸芯工艺完成后,尽量减薄硅衬底,然后将减薄衬底后的器件划片后转移到一个具有高热导率的热沉上。目前硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件的产品大部分是将硅衬底减薄到100μm,处于开发状态的技术是将硅衬底减薄到50μm。比如,“A.Pantellini,A.Nanni,C.Lanzieri,“Thermal behavior of AlGaN/GaN HEMT on silicon Microstrip technology,”6th European Microwave Integrated Circuit Conference,Oct.2011”,提出了一种通过减薄硅衬底提高器件散热性能的方法,这种方法的缺点是硅衬底减薄后的工艺操作难度加大,从而导致器件的成品率降低。
2、在硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件的表面上淀积一层高热导率介质材料,比如,“N.Tsurumi,H.Ueno,T.Murata,H.Ishida,Y.Uemoto,T.Ueda,K.Inoue,T.Tanaka,“AlN Passivation Over AlGaN/GaN HFETs for Surface Heat Spreading”,IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices,Vol.57,No.5,pp.980-985,May 2010”提出了在氮化镓微波毫米波器件的表面上淀积一层氮化铝、“Z.Lin,C.Liu,C.Zhou,Y.Chai,M.Zhou and Y.Pei,"Improved performance of HEMTs with BN as heat dissipation,"2016 IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference(INEC),Chengdu,2016,pp.1-2.”提出了在硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件的表面上淀积一层氮化硼、“Marko J.Tadjer,Travis J.Anderson,Karl D.Hobart,Tatyana I.Feygelson,Joshua D.Caldwell,Charles R.Eddy,Jr.,Fritz J.Kub,James E.Butler,Bradford Pate,and John Melngailis,“Reduced self-heating in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs using nanocrystalline diamond Heat-spreading films”,IEEE electron device letters,Vol.33.No.1,pp.23-25,Jan.2012”提出了在氮化镓微波毫米波器件的表面上淀积一层纳米晶粒金刚石等,这类在氮化镓微波毫米波器件的表面上淀积高热导率介质材料的方法存在的缺点是:这些高热导率材料往往会带来额外的应力,影响器件的性能,或者造成器件长期可靠性的降低。
3、优化硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件的版图设计,比如“K.Belkacemi and R.Hocine,“Efficient 3D-TLM Modeling and Simulation for theThermal Management of Microwave AlGaN/GaN HEMT Used in High Power Amplifiers SSPA,”Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications,Vol.8,No.23,1-19,2018”提出了增加栅指间距,减少栅极密度,以减小发热源密度的方法,这种方法的缺点是会增加器件的面积,另外散热的效果也不高。
综上,如何提高硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件的散热性能仍是目前亟待解决的问题。

实施例一
请参见图1,图1是本发明实施例提供的一种低热阻硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件材料结构的结构示意图。该低热阻硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件材料结构包括:
硅衬底层1;高热导率介质层2,位于硅衬底层1的上表面,且与硅衬底层1之间形成凹凸不平的第一图案化界面;缓冲层3,位于高热导率介质层2的上表面,且与高热导率介质层2形成凹凸不平的第二图案化界面;沟道层4,位于缓冲层3的上表面;复合势垒层5,位于沟道层4的上表面,从而构成低热阻硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件材料结构。
在上述器件材料结构中,第一图案化界面和第二图案化界面的界面形状可以相同,也可以不同,只要满足凹凸不平的状态即可。
在一个具体实施例中,第一图案化界面和第二图案化界面均包括形成有若干凹槽G的界面;若干凹槽G可以规则排列,也可以不规则排列;每个凹槽G的形状可以为规则的,例如矩形、三角形、梯形等,也可以为不规则形状;在俯视图上,若干凹槽G的面积与图案化界面的面积比为1%~99%。可以理解的是,硅衬底层1的上表面设有规则排列或者不规则排列的凹槽G,以与高热导率介质层2形成图案化界面;缓冲层3的下表面设有规则排列或者不规则排列的凹槽G,以与高热导率介质层2形成图案化界面。
具体地,若干凹槽G规则排列,且每个凹槽G的形状为矩形,从俯视图上看,器件表面形成条纹状凹槽。更为具体地,当凹槽G为矩形时,凹槽G的深度可以为10nm~2000nm,凹槽G的宽度可以为10nm~10μm。
在一个具体实施例中,硅衬底层1为高阻硅,掺杂类型为n型或p型,电阻率为3000~30000Ω·cm,硅衬底层1的晶向为[111]。优选地,硅衬底层1电阻率为5000Ω·cm。

首先,采用湿法化学腐蚀技术或等离子体刻蚀技术,将制作得到的第十一晶圆110中的硅晶圆31去除,制作形成第十三晶圆130,如图6t所示。
然后,采用湿法化学腐蚀技术或等离子体刻蚀技术,将制作的第十三晶圆130中的第二二氧化硅层32和第一二氧化硅层21去除,最终形成本实施例的硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件材料结构,如图4所示。其中,高热导率介质层2包括第一部分91和第二部分101。
至此,完成硅基氮化镓微波毫米波器件材料结构的制备。
本实施例提供的制备方法通过光刻工艺和刻蚀工艺对缓冲层下表面与硅衬底上表面进行图案化制备,以形成条纹状凹槽,再使用磁控溅射和晶圆键合的方法淀积高热导率介质层材料,与缓冲层以及硅衬底界面分别形成了图案化界面,与平面化界面相比,条纹凹槽不仅减小了晶格间的压应力,而且增大了高热导率介质层/缓冲层、高热导率介 质层/硅衬底层的界面接触面积,使界面热阻(TBR)降低,从而减小了器件的热阻,降低了器件工作的沟道温度,提高了硅基氮化镓微波毫米波功率器件的散热性能。
以上内容是结合具体的优选实施方式对本发明所作的进一步详细说明,不能认定本发明的具体实施只局限于这些说明。对于本发明所属技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明构思的前提下,还可以做出若干简单推演或替换,都应当视为属于本发明的保护范围。
