Description
本発明は、ダイヤモンド電界効果トランジスタ及びその作製方法に関し、より詳細には、室温以上でも安定な表面層を有するダイヤモンド電界効果トランジスタ及びその作製方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a diamond field effect transistor and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly to a diamond field effect transistor having a surface layer that is stable even at room temperature or higher and a manufacturing method thereof.
ダイヤモンド半導体は、半導体最大の絶縁耐圧、熱伝導性を有するばかりでなく、電子や正孔の移動度やドリフト速度も高く、もしダイヤモンド・トランジスタが実用化できれば、既存の半導体の性能を遥かに超える、最高の性能を持つ高周波電力トランジスタが実用可能になる(非特許文献1参照)。 Diamond semiconductors not only have the highest withstand voltage and thermal conductivity of semiconductors, but also have high electron and hole mobility and drift speed. If diamond transistors can be put to practical use, they will far exceed the performance of existing semiconductors. Thus, a high-frequency power transistor having the best performance can be put into practical use (see Non-Patent Document 1).
図6に、従来の水素終端ダイヤモンド電界効果トランジスタ(FET)の作製工程を示す。ダイヤモンド結晶層1を用意し、そのダイヤモンド結晶層1をCVDリアクター内で水素プラズマに曝し、ダイヤモンド表面を水素ラジカル(Hで表す)で終端する(図6(a))。そのようにして水素を含む表面層2を形成する。次に、水素を含む表面層2上の一部の領域に、金薄膜31、32を空間的に分離して蒸着する(図6(b))。それが各々ソース電極31、ドレイン電極32になる。次に、ソース電極31とドレイン電極32との間に、空間的に分離して、Al薄膜4を蒸着する。これがゲート電極4になる(図6(c))。次に、試料に二酸化炭素(CO2)又は水(H2O)を吸着させ、CO2又はH2Oを含む表面層55を形成する。(図6(d))。このデバイスを動作させる場合の配線を図6(f)に示す。 FIG. 6 shows a manufacturing process of a conventional hydrogen-terminated diamond field effect transistor (FET). A diamond crystal layer 1 is prepared, the diamond crystal layer 1 is exposed to hydrogen plasma in a CVD reactor, and the diamond surface is terminated with hydrogen radicals (represented by H) (FIG. 6A). Thus, the surface layer 2 containing hydrogen is formed. Next, the gold thin films 31 and 32 are spatially separated and deposited in a partial region on the surface layer 2 containing hydrogen (FIG. 6B). These become the source electrode 31 and the drain electrode 32, respectively. Next, the Al thin film 4 is deposited in a spatially separated manner between the source electrode 31 and the drain electrode 32. This becomes the gate electrode 4 (FIG. 6C). Next, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) or water (H 2 O) is adsorbed on the sample to form a surface layer 55 containing CO 2 or H 2 O. (FIG. 6 (d)). The wiring for operating this device is shown in FIG.
このような従来技術に基づき作製したダイヤモンドFET(ゲート長10μm)のドレイン電流電圧特性を図7(a)に示す。従来技術によるダイヤモンドFETの特性は、ゲート電圧−3Vにおける最大ドレイン電流密度は5mA/mmであった。 FIG. 7A shows drain current-voltage characteristics of a diamond FET (gate length: 10 μm) manufactured based on such a conventional technique. The characteristic of the diamond FET according to the prior art is that the maximum drain current density at a gate voltage of −3 V is 5 mA / mm.
しかしながら、図8に、従来の水素終端ダイヤモンドFETのゲート電圧−3Vでのドレイン電流密度の試料温度特性を示すように、昇温すると、室温から140℃にかけてドレイン電流密度は徐々に減少するという課題があった。これは、表面層2の二酸化炭素(CO2)又は水(H2O)が蒸発してしまうためで、昇温によって一度減少したドレイン電流密度は、再び室温に戻してもドレイン電流密度は元に戻らない。以下の記述では、ドレイン電流密度が急激に減少する試料温度をTCと呼ぶことにする。 However, FIG. 8 shows that the drain current density gradually decreases from room temperature to 140 ° C. when the temperature rises, as shown in the sample temperature characteristics of the drain current density at a gate voltage of −3 V of the conventional hydrogen-terminated diamond FET. was there. This is because carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) or water (H 2 O) in the surface layer 2 is evaporated, and the drain current density once reduced by the temperature rise is the original even if the drain current density is returned to room temperature again. Do not return to. In the following description, it will be referred to as sample temperature drain current density decreases rapidly with T C.
従来技術によれば、(1)試料を昇温すると、図6(e)に示すように、水を含む表面層55は100℃で消失してしまい、ドレイン電流は劇的に減少するという課題があった。また、(2)試料を真空状態に曝した場合も、図6(e)に示すように、表面層55は蒸発してしまうため、ドレイン電流が劇的に減少してデバイス動作しなくなるという課題があった。従来のダイヤモンドFETは、このような根本的課題を抱えていたため、実用化まで至っていなかった。 According to the prior art, (1) when the temperature of the sample is raised, as shown in FIG. 6E, the surface layer 55 containing water disappears at 100 ° C., and the drain current decreases dramatically. was there. Further, (2) even when the sample is exposed to a vacuum state, as shown in FIG. 6E, the surface layer 55 evaporates, so that the drain current is dramatically reduced and the device does not operate. was there. Conventional diamond FETs have had such fundamental problems and have not yet been put into practical use.
本発明は、このような課題に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的とするところは、最高動作温度が高くドレイン電流密度が大きい、かつ、長時間の大電力動作にも耐える信頼性のある、実用的なダイヤモンドFETを提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the object of the present invention is a high maximum operating temperature, a high drain current density, and a reliability that can withstand long-time high-power operation.

A diamond crystal 1 crystal-grown by a microwave plasma CVD apparatus or the like is prepared, and hydrogen plasma (represented by H) is irradiated in a reactor of the microwave CVD apparatus to form a surface layer 2 containing hydrogen (FIG. 1A )). Since the surface of diamond crystal 1 which has been crystal-grown in a hydrogen plasma atmosphere with a microwave plasma CVD apparatus has already formed a first surface layer 2 containing hydrogen, the first surface layer 2 is sufficiently formed. In this case, the hydrogen plasma irradiation process may not be performed again.
次に、第1の表面層2上の一部の領域に、空間的に分離して、厚さ600nmの金薄膜31、32を蒸着する。これは、各ソース電極31、ドレイン電極32になる。 Next, gold thin films 31 and 32 having a thickness of 600 nm are vapor-deposited in a partial region on the first surface layer 2 in a spatially separated manner. This becomes the source electrode 31 and the drain electrode 32.
次に、ソース電極31とドレイン電極32との間に、空間的に分離して、Al薄膜4を蒸着する(図1(c))。このAl薄膜4はゲート電極4になる。 Next, the Al thin film 4 is vapor-deposited spatially separated between the source electrode 31 and the drain electrode 32 (FIG. 1C). The Al thin film 4 becomes the gate electrode 4.
次に、試料にNO2を供給し、第1の表面層2上に第2の表面層5を形成する(図1(d))。また、第2の表面層5は、ソース電極31とゲート電極4間、ゲート電極4とドレイン電極32間を結ぶように形成する。 Next, NO 2 is supplied to the sample, and the second surface layer 5 is formed on the first surface layer 2 (FIG. 1D). The second surface layer 5 is formed so as to connect between the source electrode 31 and the gate electrode 4 and between the gate electrode 4 and the drain electrode 32.

The result is shown in FIG. 7 (b). The maximum drain current density at a gate voltage of −3 V of the diamond FET of the present invention is 180 mA / mm, which is about 30 times that of the conventional one, and the transistor characteristics are greatly improved.
図8に、本発明のダイヤモンドFETと従来のダイヤモンドFETのドレイン電流の試料温度特性を示す。従来のダイヤモンドFETでは、室温から140℃にかけて、第2の表面層55が蒸発してしまうため、ドレイン電流は急激に減少する。それに対して、本発明のダイヤモンドFETは、第2の表面層5が安定しているため、300℃までFET動作する。 FIG. 8 shows the sample temperature characteristics of the drain current of the diamond FET of the present invention and the conventional diamond FET. In the conventional diamond FET, since the second surface layer 55 evaporates from room temperature to 140 ° C., the drain current rapidly decreases. In contrast, the diamond FET of the present invention operates up to 300 ° C. because the second surface layer 5 is stable.

Because of the absence of the surface layer 2, IDMAX is lower than that of the first embodiment, but is significantly higher than that of the conventional diamond FET (6 mA / mm, 100 ° C.).
(実施形態4)
図4に、本発明の実施形態4に係るダイヤモンドFETの作製工程を示す。実施形態4と実施形態1との差異は、電極設置前に第2の表面層5を形成する点にある。
(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 4 shows a manufacturing process of a diamond FET according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. The difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the second surface layer 5 is formed before the electrodes are installed.
マイクロ波プラズマCVD装置などで結晶成長したダイヤモンド結晶1を用意し、マイクロ波CVD装置のリアクター内で水素プラズマ(Hで表す)を照射し、水素を含む表面層2を形成する(図4(a))。マイクロ波プラズマCVD装置で、水素プラズマ雰囲気内で結晶成長したダイヤモンド結晶1表面は、既に水素を含む表面層2を形成しているので、第1の表面層2が十分形成されている場合、改めて水素プラズマ照射処理をしなくても良い。 A diamond crystal 1 crystal-grown by a microwave plasma CVD apparatus or the like is prepared and irradiated with hydrogen plasma (represented by H) in a reactor of the microwave CVD apparatus to form a surface layer 2 containing hydrogen (FIG. 4A )). Since the surface of the diamond crystal 1 which has been grown in a hydrogen plasma atmosphere by a microwave plasma CVD apparatus has already formed a surface layer 2 containing hydrogen, if the first surface layer 2 has been sufficiently formed, it is again necessary. It is not necessary to perform the hydrogen plasma irradiation treatment.
次に、試料にNO2を供給し、第1の表面層2上に第2の表面層5を形成する(図4(b))。 Next, NO 2 is supplied to the sample, and the second surface layer 5 is formed on the first surface layer 2 (FIG. 4B).
次に、第2の表面層5上の一部領域に、空間的に分離して、厚さ600nmの金薄膜31、32を蒸着する。これは、各々ソース電極31、ドレイン電極32になる(図4(c))。 Next, gold thin films 31 and 32 having a thickness of 600 nm are deposited in a partial region on the second surface layer 5 in a spatially separated manner. This becomes the source electrode 31 and the drain electrode 32, respectively (FIG. 4C).
次に、ソース電極31、ドレイン電極32との間に、空間的に分離して、Al薄膜4を蒸着する(図4(d))。このAl薄膜4はゲート電極4になる。 Next, the Al thin film 4 is deposited by being spatially separated between the source electrode 31 and the drain electrode 32 (FIG. 4D). The Al thin film 4 becomes the gate electrode 4.
次に、第2の表面層5上全体を覆うように、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)、テトラフルオロエチレンからなる保護層6を堆積させる(図4(e))。 Next, a protective layer 6 made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or tetrafluoroethylene is deposited so as to cover the entire surface of the second surface layer 5 (FIG. 4E).
このようにして作製された本発明のダイヤモンドFETに対し、図4(f)のように配線してドレイン電流電圧特性を測定し、その結果を図7(b)に示す。本発明のダイヤモンドFETのゲート電圧−3Vにおける最大ドレイン電流密度は180mA/mmと従来の約30倍になり、トランジスタ特性は大きく向上している。 The diamond FET of the present invention thus manufactured is wired as shown in FIG. 4 (f) and the drain current / voltage characteristics are measured. The result is shown in FIG. 7 (b). The maximum drain current density at a gate voltage of −3 V of the diamond FET of the present invention is 180 mA / mm, which is about 30 times that of the conventional one, and the transistor characteristics are greatly improved.
図8に、本発明によって作製したFETのドレイン電流の試料温度特性を示す。従来の方法では、室温から140℃にかけて、第2の表面層55が蒸発してしまうため、ドレイン電流は急激に減少する。それに対して、本発明によれば、300℃まで第2の表面層5が安定して、FET動作した。 FIG. 8 shows a sample temperature characteristic of the drain current of the FET manufactured according to the present invention. In the conventional method, since the second surface layer 55 evaporates from room temperature to 140 ° C., the drain current rapidly decreases.
