Description

Structure for reducing heterojunction bipolar transistor b-c junction capacitance and manufacturing method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a structure for reducing heterojunction bipolar transistor b-c junction capacitance and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
With the development of HBT technology, higher demands are being placed on high frequency parameters. The high frequency parameters are mainly two, namely current gain cut-off frequency (ft); the second is the highest oscillation frequency (fmax). The highest oscillation frequency (fmax) is inversely proportional to the product of the base resistance (Rb) and the b-c junction capacitance (Cbc), and therefore in order to increase the highest oscillation frequency (fmax), the b-c junction capacitance (Cbc) and the base resistance (Rb) must be reduced. The traditional method for reducing the b-c junction capacitance (Cbc) is to reduce the base metal Width (WB) directly by a photoetching method so as to reduce the BC junction area (Abc) and achieve the effect of reducing the b-c junction capacitance (Cbc); however, a decrease in the base metal Width (WB) results in an increase in the base resistance Rb, which adversely affects both the current gain cutoff frequency (ft) and the maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of the device.

Example 1
Referring to the process flow diagram of fig. 1, a method for reducing the b-c junction capacitance of a heterojunction bipolar transistor is specifically described by taking the formation of a base metal with a bottom line width of about 0.25 μm as an example:
first, a chip structure including an epitaxial layer 1, an emitter structure (an emitter mesa 2 and an emitter metal 3) and a passivation layer 4 is provided after partial processing is completed. The above structure is processed by a known process, wherein after the emitter metal 3 is formed, 1 layer of 20-80 nm SiN or SO is deposited by PVCVD 2 As passivation layer 4, the resulting structure is shown in fig. 1 a;
then, coating a first photoresist 5 with the thickness of 0.5-1.0 μm on the chip structure, wherein the first photoresist 5 is a positive photoresist AR80 (from Tokyo reaction), exposing by using an I-line photoetching machine, and developing by using TMAH (concentration of 2.38%) developing solution to obtain a first window 51 with a first line width a of 0.45 +/-0.05 μm, and the obtained structure is shown as a graph 1 b;
coating a layer of 0.3-0.5 μm second photoresist 6 by spin coating, wherein the second photoresist 6 is R200 photoresist (from Anzhi); then, a hot plate is used for heating reaction (the temperature is 85-105 ℃, the time is 1 min-3 min), after the hot plate is used for baking, the R200 reacts with the first photoresist 5 below the hot plate, a water-insoluble reaction layer with the thickness of 0.05-0.075 mu m is formed and attached to the surface of the first photoresist 5, and the R200 which is not in contact with the first photoresist 5 does not react; deionized water with the temperature of 90-120 ℃ is adopted, R200 is dissolved in water after water washing, the opening area is obvious, and the second photoresist 6 around the first window 51 area forms insoluble substances, so that the first window 51 is reduced to a second line width of 0.3-0.35 mu m; baking by using an oven (at 120-150 ℃ for 30-60 min), wherein the backflow action causes the original trapezoidal photoresist to slightly flow, so that the sharp corner on the surface forms a fillet, and the photoresist at the bottom slightly flows to the side edge by about 0.025 mu m, thereby reducing the first window 51 to a third line width b of 0.25 mu m +/-0.03 mu m after natural cooling, and obtaining a structure as shown in fig. 1 c;
removing the passivation layer 4 in the first window 51 by wet or dry etching, wherein the etching stop method is not limited to grabbing an end point or controlling time, so as to obtain the first opening 41 with the third line width b, and then removing the first photoresist 5 and the second photoresist 6 attached to the first photoresist 5 by using an organic solvent such as NMP, so as to obtain the structure shown in fig. 1 d;
coating a third photoresist 7, wherein the third photoresist can be a positive photoresist or a negative photoresist, forming a second window 71 on the first opening 41 through exposure and development, the second window 71 has a fourth line width c, the fourth line width c is larger than the third line width b, optimally, the first opening 41 is positioned in the middle of the second window 71, the fourth line width c is larger than the third line width b by more than 0.4 μm, and the fourth line width c can be adjusted according to the actual requirement on the base metal width, so that the obtained structure is as shown in fig. 1 e;
and (3) carrying out evaporation on the base metal 8, wherein the used metal components are Pt/Ti/Pt/Au/Ti, the thickness of each metal component is 10-500 nm, the specific thickness is adjusted according to design requirements, then removing the third photoresist 7 to obtain the base metal 8 in contact with the epitaxial layer 1 at the first opening 41, and the structure is shown in figure 1 f.
Referring to fig. 2, the resulting heterojunction bipolar transistor structure comprises an epitaxial layer 1, an emitter structure (emitter mesa 2 and emitter metal 3), a passivation layer 4 and a base metal 8. The emitter electrode platform 2 and the emitter electrode metal 3 are arranged on the epitaxial layer 1, and the passivation layer 4 covers the epitaxial layer 1 and the emitter electrode structure; the passivation layer 4 is provided with a first opening 41 on the epitaxial layer 1, and the base metal 8 is disposed in the first opening 41 and extends to cover the surface of the passivation layer 4 at two sides of the first opening 41, that is, the obtained base metal 8 has a bottom line width b (same as a third line width) and a top line width c (same as a fourth line width). In this embodiment, the base-emitter-base structure (2B1E) is formed, where the distance between the bottom edge and the top edge of the base metal 8 is x (i.e., x is (c-B)/2), the line width of the emitter mesa 2 is d, the distance between the base top metal and the edge of the base mesa is e, the distance between the base bottom metal and the emitter mesa is f, and the B-c junction width is 2(e + c + f-x) + d.
In addition, other conventional subsequent processes are not described in detail.
Comparative example
Referring to fig. 3, a second opening 42 with a line width c is formed directly on the passivation layer 4 by one-step photoresist, and then the base metal 8' is deposited to obtain the structure. In the figure, the bottom and top linewidths of the base metal 8' are the same, both being the same as the top linewidth c of example 1 (without affecting the base resistance Rb); similarly, if the line width of the emitter mesa 2 is d, the distance from the base top metal to the edge of the base mesa is e, and the distance from the base bottom metal to the emitter mesa is f (which affects the reliability of the product, so the comparative example is the same as example 1), the b-c junction width is 2(e + c + f) + d.
It can be seen that, compared with the comparative example, in the embodiment 1, on the premise of not influencing the base resistance Rb, the b-c junction width is reduced by 2x, so that the b-c junction area is reduced, and the effect of reducing the b-c junction capacitance (Cbc) is achieved.
Furthermore, it is expected that the same effect will be obtained for the emitter-base-emitter structure.
The above embodiments are merely provided to further illustrate the structure and the manufacturing method for reducing the junction capacitance of the heterojunction bipolar transistor b-c according to the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical spirit of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
