Description

Gallium nitride based high electron mobility transistor and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and particularly relates to a gallium nitride-based high-electron-mobility transistor which can be used as a basic device of a power electronic system.
Technical Field
The power electronic system is widely applied to the fields of aerospace, industrial equipment, electric automobiles, household appliances and the like, and the power device is an important element of the power electronic system and is an important tool for realizing energy conversion and control. Therefore, the performance and reliability of the power device have a decisive influence on various technical indexes and performances of the whole power electronic system.
At present, the performance of Si-based and GaAs-based semiconductor power devices approaches the theoretical limit. In order to break through the research and development bottleneck of the current semiconductor power device and further improve the performance of a power system, the gallium nitride (GaN) heterojunction-based high-electron-mobility transistor has the advantages of good high-temperature resistance, high switching speed, low on resistance, high working frequency, high voltage resistance and the like, and can meet the requirements of next-generation power electronic equipment on higher power, higher frequency, smaller volume and worse high-temperature work of the power device, so that the gallium nitride (GaN) heterojunction-based high-electron-mobility transistor has a wide application prospect.
The traditional GaN-based HEMT power device is based on a GaN-based heterojunction structure, and comprises: the structure comprises a substrate 1, a transition layer 2, a barrier layer 3, a gate column 5 and a protective layer 8; a source 5 is deposited on the left side above the barrier layer 3, a drain 6 is deposited on the right side above the barrier layer 3, a P-type layer 4 is epitaxially deposited on the barrier layer 3 between the source 5 and the drain 6, a gate 7 is deposited on the P-type layer 4, and a protective layer 8 completely covers the barrier layer 3, the P-type layer 4, the source 5, the drain 6 and the region above the gate 7, as shown in fig. 1.
When a traditional GaN-based HEMT power device works, the electric field distribution in a semiconductor between a grid and a drain of the device is extremely uneven, and an extremely high electric field is formed near the grid and the drain, so that the reliability problems of Current Collapse and the like of the device occur, and the practical application of the device is seriously influenced, which is shown in tracking Effects on Leakage and Current collagen in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, Electronic Materials,2020,49(10): 5687-. In order to effectively inhibit the current collapse effect, researchers have conducted a variety of research and exploration with great success. Liu Jing et al, by introducing a partial groove structure of a barrier layer into a GaN-based power device, reduce the electric field peak value at the edge drain side of a gate, and effectively inhibit the Current collapse effect under the bias of 20V drain compressive stress, see Current collepse application in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor with groove structure, Acta Phys.sin,2019(24) 248501. But the introduction of the grooves can lose part of the two-dimensional electron gas, so that the on-resistance of the device is increased. In order to improve the device characteristics, Nishitani et al adopts a gate-source dual Field plate structure, and weakens the electric Field near the edge of the drain electrode through the Field plate, so as to effectively inhibit Current Collapse under the drain bias of 100V, see Improved Current Collapse in AlGaN/GaN MOSHEMs with dual Field-Plates, IEEE International Meeting for Future of Electron Devices, Kansai (IMFEDK),21-22June 2018. However, the field plate structure has a complicated process, and increases the device capacitance, thereby attenuating the frequency characteristics of the device. The Sheng Gao et al introduces NiO into the deviceX/SiNXOr Al2O3/SiNXThe passivation layer effectively inhibits current collapse under 200V stress biasSee Breakdown Enhancement and Current Collapse Suppression in AlGaN/GaN HEMT by NiOx/SiNx and Al2O3the/SiNx as Gate Dielectric Layer and Passivation Layer, IEEE Electron Device Letters,2019,40(12): 1921-. However, the passivation process has poor repeatability, and can only suppress current collapse at a relatively low bias voltage, and when the device is biased at a high voltage, the current collapse is still very serious.

Secondly, the device of the invention adopts the floating island structure, when the device is in a forward blocking state, namely the drain electrode is applied with forward high-voltage bias, a space charge region formed by reverse bias of a pn junction formed by the gate island and the barrier layer of the device can expand to the drain electrode side, and along with the increase of the bias voltage of the drain electrode, the space charge region can expand to a first independent P-type semiconductor block in the floating island from the gate island to the drain electrode direction, so that the space charge region of the reverse bias pn junction formed by the first independent P-type semiconductor block and the barrier layer further expands to the drain electrode direction, and further, a second independent P-type semiconductor block to an nth independent P-type semiconductor block in the gate island to drain electrode direction are connected with the space charge region of the reverse bias pn junction formed by the barrier layer, therefore, the forward blocking voltage of the device can be improved; when the device is in a reverse blocking state, namely when a negative high-voltage bias is applied to a drain electrode, a space charge region formed by reverse bias of a pn junction formed by a drain island and a barrier layer of the device can expand towards one side of a gate island, and along with the increase of the bias voltage of the drain electrode, the space charge region can expand to a first independent P-type semiconductor block in the floating island from the drain electrode to the gate island, so that the space charge region of the reverse bias pn junction formed by the first independent P-type semiconductor block and the barrier layer further expands towards the gate island, and a structure that a second independent P-type semiconductor block in the drain electrode to gate island direction to an nth independent P-type semiconductor block and the space charge region of the reverse bias pn junction formed by the barrier layer are connected together is formed, so that the reverse blocking voltage of the device is improved.
