Description

Method for manufacturing gate electrode of gallium nitride high electron mobility transistor
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of processing and manufacturing of compound semiconductors, in particular to a method for manufacturing a gate electrode of a gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistor.
Background
The characteristic high electron mobility, high two-dimensional electron gas surface density and high breakdown electric field of the GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) enable the GaN high electron mobility transistor to have higher power output density, and the GaN high electron mobility transistor is regarded as the first choice technology of the next generation radio frequency/microwave power amplifier.
With the rapid increase of the demand of Field Effect Transistor (FET) high frequency application, the cut-off frequency f of the device is increasedTIt becomes increasingly important.
As an important parameter for representing the high-speed performance of the transistor, the cut-off frequency f of the deviceTThe approximate formula of (c) is:
Figure BDA0001321892650000011
wherein v issIs the saturation mobility rate of carriers, LgIs the device gate length. It can be seen that the gate length has a decisive influence on the cut-off frequency of the device.
Reducing the gate length of the device is the most direct method for improving the frequency performance, and generally, when the target gate length is less than 0.5 μm, a T-shaped gate structure is considered, which aims to reduce the gate length of the device without excessively increasing the gate resistance.
Due to the particularity of the gallium nitride device, a layer of Si is grown before the gate process3N4The medium is used for protecting the surface and inhibiting the surface state. In the subsequent gate process, a two-step photolithography method is generally used to fabricate the T-shaped gate: first step fine line photoetching for etching Si3N4Simultaneously defining the length dimension of the gate; the second step of photoetching adopts negative glue or reversal glue for defining a gate cap and forming a gate electrode through a stripping process.
The scheme mainly has the following defects: usually, the lines obtained by the first step of photolithography are very thin, and are all below 0.5 μm, and then Si with the depth of about 100nm is etched downwards3N4The medium has small line openings and certain depth, so that the conventional evaporation process is difficult to completely fill the groove with metal, and incomplete filling often causes potential reliability hazards of devices.
