Description

Gallium nitride junction barrier Schottky diode with slant field plate and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and particularly relates to a gallium nitride junction barrier Schottky diode which can be used for manufacturing various high-power electronic devices.
Background
The gallium nitride power device attracts the rapid development of the gallium nitride power device in the application field of the power device due to the characteristics of high breakdown, high mobility, high frequency, high efficiency and the like. Compared with the traditional material, the Schottky diode prepared by adopting the gallium nitride material has high reliability and stability, so that the performance of the Schottky diode can be well exerted under severe working conditions of high power, high temperature and the like. The conventional vertical gan schottky diode has a forward and reverse operation principle that barrier height changes when metal and semiconductor are in contact, but the reverse withstand voltage characteristic is not outstanding, so that the actual breakdown voltage deviates from a theoretical value to a certain extent. In order to increase the breakdown voltage and reduce the reverse leakage effect, the junction barrier Schottky diode structure is applied.
With the development of the integrated circuit industry, the requirements for high-power and high-frequency devices are increasingly greater at the present stage, and the performance of the power device directly determines the quality and efficiency of the product. Taking a diode as an example, in such a working environment, the device is required to have the capability of fast turning on and off and the superior performance of voltage resistance and high temperature resistance, and the forward and reverse characteristics of the diode are particularly important. In addition, the reduction of reverse leakage achieves the aims of saving energy and reducing consumption while improving the product efficiency.

At present, relatively few research reports about the gallium nitride junction barrier Schottky diode exist, so that the gallium nitride junction barrier Schottky diode has great research value. However, the conventional junction barrier schottky diode structure is not protected by a terminal structure, so that the reverse performance of the device is not outstanding enough. In addition, because the P-type junction of the existing structure is made of a homogeneous material, the depletion degree is not high when the device works reversely, and the leakage current is large.
