具体实施方式Detailed ways
为使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例只是本申请的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。通常在此处附图中描述和示出的本申请实施例的组件可以以各种不同的配置来布置和设计。In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments It is only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and illustrated in the drawings herein may be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations.
因此,以下对在附图中提供的本申请的实施例的详细描述并非旨在限制要求保护的本申请的范围,而是仅仅表示本申请的选定实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
在现有的P-GaN器件中,形成欧姆接触或肖特基接触主要取决于与P-GaN层接触的金属的功函数的大小,即栅极漏电流的大小主要取决于与P-GaN层接触的金属电极(栅极)的金属类型,因此,实际应用中,为了实现P-GaN器件的常闭性的同时,一般会尽量在较小的漏电流的前提下获取较大的正向栅极偏压,以提高器件的可靠性。In the existing P-GaN devices, the formation of ohmic contact or Schottky contact mainly depends on the work function of the metal in contact with the P-GaN layer, that is, the gate leakage current mainly depends on the size of the contact with the P-GaN layer. The metal type of the metal electrode (gate) that is in contact. Therefore, in practical applications, in order to achieve the normally closed property of the P-GaN device, generally try to obtain a larger forward gate on the premise of a smaller leakage current. extreme bias to improve device reliability.
目前,相对于欧姆接触,反向偏置的肖特基接触具有较小的漏电流,但即便如图1所示的经过优良处理后的金属/P-GaN肖特基结,当栅极偏置电压小于7V时,耗尽的P-GaN层内部也会存在完全峰值电场,导致雪崩击穿的风险出现。Currently, reverse-biased Schottky contacts have less leakage current than Ohmic contacts, but even with a well-treated metal/P-GaN Schottky junction as shown in Figure 1, when the gate is biased At voltages less than 7V, there is also a full peak electric field inside the depleted P-GaN layer, leading to the risk of avalanche breakdown.
此外,如图2所示,在一些其他的实施方式中,为了减少和重新分布如图1中所示的P-GaN层内部的峰值电场,可将N型杂质(如硅杂质)通过离子注入的方式注入到P-GaN层的部分区域中,以在热激活后形成N-GaN边缘保护环。但实际实施时,为了获得较高的掺杂剂活化效率,一般需要采用大于5e15cm-2的高注入剂量,以产生足够的电子浓度,导致即使在高达1200℃的温度下,也无法有效消除由于离子注入带来的损伤。加之,在采用MOCVD(金属有机物化学气相淀积,Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition)外延生长的P-GaN层内固有存在的穿透位错空洞,使得P-GaN器件中存在异常泄漏路径,导致漏电流大,器件可靠性差。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, in some other embodiments, in order to reduce and redistribute the peak electric field inside the P-GaN layer as shown in FIG. 1, N-type impurities (eg, silicon impurities) may be ion-implanted into a partial region of the P-GaN layer to form an N-GaN edge guard ring after thermal activation. However, in actual implementation, in order to obtain a high dopant activation efficiency, a high implantation dose greater than 5e 15 cm -2 is generally required to generate sufficient electron concentration, resulting in ineffectiveness even at temperatures as high as 1200 °C. Eliminate damage due to ion implantation. In addition, the inherent threading dislocation voids in the P-GaN layer epitaxially grown by MOCVD (Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) cause abnormal leakage paths in P-GaN devices, leading to leakage. The current is large and the device reliability is poor.
对此,如图3所示,本申请实施例提供一种半导体器件10及其制作方法,其中,在完成如图3所示的半导体器件10中的P型半导体层17的外延生长后,继续基于该P型半导体层17的表面采用原位生长的方式在栅极13与P型半导体层17之间制作形成一N型半导体层18,使得P型半导体层17与N型半导体层18之间形成反向N/P结,能够在减少和重新分布图1中所示的P-GaN层内部的峰值电场、避免图2中所示的注入损伤的同时,还可进一步减小栅极漏电流,提高栅极偏置电压范围,确保半导体器件10的可靠性。下面结合附图对本实施例中提供的方案进行详细阐述。In this regard, as shown in FIG. 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides a

进一步地,为了验证本申请实施例中给出的半导体器件10的性能,请结合参阅4(a)-图4(b)以及图5(a)-图5(b),其中,图4(a)为在栅极偏置电压由0V增加到6V时(步进值为1V),图2中所示的P-GaN器件中的导带边缘轮廓示意图,从中可以看出当栅极偏置电压分别为图4(b)所示的0V和6V时,图2中所示的P-GaN器件中的势垒层上的势垒消失。图5(a)为在栅极偏置电压由0V增加到30V时(步进值为3V)本申请中所示的半导体器件中的导带边缘轮廓示意图,从中可以看出当栅极偏置电压分别为图5(b)所示的0V和30V时,本申请中给出的半导体器件10中的势垒层上的势垒仍然存在。Further, in order to verify the performance of the
此外,请再结合参阅图6(a)-图6(b),分别为图2中所示的P-GaN器件的性能仿真图以及本申请中给出的半导体器件10的性能仿真示意图,其中,从图6(a)中可以看出,图2中给出的P-GaN器件在栅极偏置电压(Vgs)达到阈值电压1V时,2DEG(二维电子气)的密度达到2e12cm-2,当栅极偏置电压持续增大并达到大约6V时,2DEG(二维电子气)的密度为2e13cm-2且饱和。而由图6(b)中可以看出,当本申请中给出的半导体器件10的栅极偏置电压达到阈值电压12V时,2DEG的密度可达到2e12cm-2,但若要2DEG的密度达到2e13cm-2且饱和,栅极偏置电压可增大至大约30V左右,由此可以得出,本申请中给出的半导体器件10具有较大的栅极电压范围。In addition, please refer to FIG. 6(a)-FIG. 6(b), which are respectively the performance simulation diagram of the P-GaN device shown in FIG. 2 and the performance simulation diagram of the
综上,相对于图2中给出的P-GaN器件中基于P-GaN层并采用离子注入的方式在栅极13与P-GaN层之间形成N-GaN层的方案,本申请实施例一中在完成P型半导体层17的外延生长后,继续采用原位生长形成N型半导体层18以得到栅极13、N型半导体层18、P型半导体层17这种叠层结构,能够有效避免由于离子注入带来的注入损伤的问题。同时,相对于反向偏置的肖特基结,由于本申请中的N型半导体层18与P型半导体层17之间可形成有欧姆接触的反向偏置的n/p结,还可有效减小栅极漏电流,增加所述半导体器件10在栅极漏电流可接受范围内时的栅极13电压的范围,即使将栅极13偏置电压调整到较高值(如30V)时,也不会损害N型半导体层18、P型半导体层17的结构,并可维持二维电子气。To sum up, compared to the scheme of forming an N-GaN layer between the
