Description

AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diode based on groove-type guard ring structure and manufacturing method
Technical Field

Background
The power semiconductor device is a core element of power electronic technology, and with the increasingly prominent energy and environmental problems, the development of a novel high-performance and low-loss power device becomes one of effective ways for improving the utilization rate of electric energy, saving energy and relieving the energy crisis. In the research of power devices, a severe restriction relationship exists between high speed, high voltage and low on-resistance, and the key for improving the overall performance of the device is to reasonably and effectively improve the restriction relationship. With the development of microelectronic technology, the performance of the traditional first-generation Si semiconductor and second-generation GaAs semiconductor power devices is close to the theoretical limit determined by the materials. In order to further reduce the chip area, improve the working frequency, improve the working temperature, reduce the on-resistance, improve the breakdown voltage, reduce the whole volume and improve the whole efficiency, the wide-bandgap semiconductor material represented by GaN is free from the aspects of preparing high-performance power devices and has huge application potential by virtue of the larger bandgap, higher critical breakdown electric field and higher electronic saturation drift velocity, and excellent physical and chemical properties such as stable chemical performance, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance and the like. Among them, the GaN-based schottky barrier diode is an important GaN-based device, which is a majority carrier semiconductor device, and the minority carrier charge storage effect is weak.

However, when the heterojunction AlGaN/GaN schottky diode is reversely biased, an electric field below the anode is not uniformly distributed in the horizontal direction, that is, the closer to the edge of the electrode, the denser the distribution of electric field lines, so that the maximum value of the electric field appears at the edge below the anode, avalanche breakdown easily occurs at the edge, actual breakdown voltage and output power of the AlGaN/GaN schottky diode are reduced, reverse leakage current is increased, and reliability of the device is reduced.
