Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a semiconductor device containing an insertion layer of aluminum gallium nitride and indium gallium nitride and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Group iii nitride semiconductor materials are known as third generation semiconductor materials, including gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN), indium nitride (InN), and tri-and quaternary alloys formed therebetween, such as aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN), indium aluminum nitride (InAlN), and indium gallium nitride (InGaN). Gallium nitride (GaN) -based group iii nitride semiconductor materials having a wide direct substitution gap (eg=3.36 eV), a high melting point, a high thermal conductivity, a high saturated electron velocity, a high critical breakdown field strength, and a high electron room temperature mobility are widely used in high temperature, high voltage, and high frequency switching devices such as metal semiconductor field effect transistors (MESFETs), high Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs), heterojunction Field Effect Transistors (HFETs), light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), and the like.
Since it is currently difficult to obtain a large-sized group iii nitride single crystal material, in order to obtain a high-quality group iii nitride epitaxial layer, heteroepitaxial growth is generally performed on a substrate material such as silicon, sapphire, or silicon carbide. However, as the thickness of the group iii nitride epitaxial layer increases, more dislocation defects and larger internal stress are generated on the group iii nitride thin film, which results in cracking of the group iii nitride epitaxial layer, and seriously affects the performance of the semiconductor device.

According to the semiconductor device, the insert layer formed by inserting the gallium aluminum nitride layer and the gallium indium nitride layer is inserted in the middle of the III-group nitride epitaxial layer, and the lattice mismatch and the thermal mismatch between the III-group nitride epitaxial layer and the substrate are effectively relieved by changing the aluminum doping concentration to adjust the structure of the gallium aluminum nitride layer in the insert layer; and the compressive stress in the insertion layer can compensate a part of tensile stress in the III-nitride epitaxial layer, so that dislocation and tensile stress of the III-nitride epitaxial layer are effectively reduced. Therefore, a high quality group iii nitride epitaxial layer can be obtained by providing an insertion layer containing aluminum gallium nitride and indium gallium nitride.

In this embodiment, the material of the buffer layer 103 is aluminum gallium nitride. Buffer layer 103 is constructed from one or more aluminum gallium nitride layers. Preferably, the thickness of the buffer layer 103 is 5um or less. It is understood that in other embodiments, the material of the buffer layer 103 is aluminum nitride, gallium nitride, silicon nitride, or other group iii nitrides, or combinations thereof.

In the present embodiment, the material of the first group iii nitride epitaxial layer 104 is gallium nitride, and the material of the second group iii nitride epitaxial layer 106 is aluminum gallium nitride.
A gallium nitride aluminum/gallium nitride heterostructure is formed between the gallium nitride epitaxial layer and the gallium nitride aluminum epitaxial layer, and is a core component of the semiconductor device. Triangle potential wells are formed at the interface of the nitrogen gallium aluminum/gallium nitride heterostructure, the Debroil wavelength of electrons is larger than the width of the potential wells, energy in the direction vertical to the surface is quantized to form sub-energy bands, the freedom degree of the electrons in the direction vertical to the surface is lost, only the freedom degrees in the two directions along the surface exist, and electrons with very high migration speed in the potential wells are two-dimensional electron gas (2 DEG).

The insert layer 105 is located in the middle of the group iii nitride epitaxial layer, and has the main function of enabling the epitaxial layer to be in a compressive strain state, reducing stress and dislocation in the epitaxial layer, and further eliminating cracks in the epitaxial layer, so that a high-quality crack-free group iii nitride epitaxial layer is obtained. In this embodiment, the insertion layer 105 is located in the middle of the first group iii nitride epitaxial layer 104, and the material of the insertion layer 105 is gallium indium nitride and gallium aluminum nitride, where the aluminum nitride material may change the aluminum doping concentration (mass fraction of aluminum relative to the aluminum nitride layer) according to the epitaxial layer growth requirement. Preferably, the thickness of the insertion layer 105 is 100nm or less.
As shown in fig. 2, the interposer 105 has a superlattice layer structure formed by alternately stacking gallium aluminum nitride layers 111 and gallium indium nitride layers 112 in this order.

Preferably, the doping concentration of aluminum in the gallium aluminum nitride layer 111 is 1 or less.
Preferably, a plurality of insertion layers 105 including a gallium aluminum nitride layer 111 and an indium gallium nitride layer 112 are present in the first group iii nitride epitaxial layer 104 and the first group iii nitride epitaxial layer 106.
In addition, the embodiment also provides a manufacturing method of the semiconductor device containing the silicon-doped aluminum nitride layer, which specifically comprises the following steps:
Step one: a seed layer 102 comprising silicon doped aluminum nitride is deposited on the provided substrate 101.
In this embodiment, the seed layer 102 is formed by vapor phase epitaxy (MOCDV) by injecting trimethylaluminum in an NH3 atmosphere at 1000 degrees or higher.
The step of removing the native oxide layer of the substrate 101 with wet or dry etching is also included before forming the seed layer 102.
Step two: a buffer layer 103 is formed on the seed layer 102.
Step three: nucleation sites are formed on buffer layer 103 to promote island growth and island union of the group iii nitride, and first group iii nitride epitaxial layer 104 is formed gradually.
Step four: an insertion layer 105 is formed on the surface of the previously grown group iii nitride layer, and then group iii nitride continues to be grown on the insertion layer 105 to form a first group iii nitride epitaxial layer 104 with the previously grown group iii nitride layer. Forming the insertion layer 105 in the first group iii nitride epitaxial layer 104 can reduce internal stress and dislocation generated as the layer thickness of the group iii nitride layer increases.
Step five: a second group iii nitride epitaxial layer 106 is formed on the first group iii nitride epitaxial layer 104, completing the growth of the group iii nitride epitaxial layer.
