Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a vertical-structure gradient aluminum component aluminum gallium nitride metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor MOSFET which can be used as a high-voltage and high-power electronic device.

Background

The AlGaN belongs to a super-wide bandgap semiconductor material, and the forbidden band width of the AlGaN is 4-6eV according to the difference of aluminum components in the AlGaN, so that the critical breakdown electric field strength of 8-12MV/cm is obtained, and the Baligy value reaches 104The above characteristics show that the AlGaN has great development potential in the field of power electronics. Meanwhile, the AlGaN material also has higher thermal conductivity, so that the AlGaN device can stably work in a high-temperature environment. In addition, the AlGaN material can be doped in an n-type and a p-type manner, so that the AlGaN material has the possibility of preparing devices with complex structures and excellent performance.

At present, most of AlGaN MOSFETs use sapphire as substrate materials, although the technology for growing AlGaN on the sapphire substrate is mature, the growth thickness of the AlGaN materials on the sapphire is limited by huge lattice mismatch between the sapphire and the AlGaN, and the AlGaN materials are easy to crack in the growth process, so that the AlGaN MOSFETs of the sapphire substrate have single structures and are all horizontal structures. Sanyam Bajaj and hirori Okumura have published papers on aluminum gallium nitride field effect transistors on sapphire substrates in 2018, respectively. The thickness of the AlGaN wafer channel layer selected by the AlGaN wafer is 100-250nm, and the thickness of the field effect transistor channel is thin, so that the application of a complex terminal structure in a device is limited, and the breakdown voltage of the device cannot be further improved by depending on the terminal structure. In addition, the horizontal structure MOSFET only can increase the breakdown voltage by increasing the distance between the grid and the drain, and the power device wastes a larger area and is difficult to apply to a large-scale circuit.

Compared with a sapphire substrate, the lattice mismatch between the aluminum nitride substrate and the aluminum gallium nitrogen epitaxy is small, the thermal expansion coefficients are basically the same, the vertical MOSFET can be prepared by adopting the aluminum nitride as the substrate of the aluminum gallium nitrogen MOSFET device, and the performance of the device is greatly improved. Yoshihiro Irokawa published a paper about an aluminum nitride substrate in 2012, which prepared the aluminum nitride substrate using a physical vapor transport method and prepared a schottky diode on the aluminum nitride substrate. The threading dislocation of the aluminum nitride substrate provides a leakage path for the device, so that the prepared Schottky diode has high leakage current and cannot be practically applied. In addition, the aluminum nitride single crystal substrate which is available at present is expensive in sale price, the price of the aluminum nitride single crystal substrate with the diameter of 5 cm is as high as 5 ten thousand yuan RMB, and the high price limits research on related devices by research institutions.
