Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of microelectronics, and more particularly to a nitride high voltage device and a method of fabricating the same.
- Wide bandgap compound semiconductor materials show great potential in high frequency, high temperature, high power, etc. due to their large forbidden band width, high electron saturation drift speed, high breakdown field strength, and good thermal conductivity. Nitride high-voltage devices are attracting the attention of many researchers around the world for their superior performance and great development potential.
- the technology for growing nitride high-voltage devices by growing nitride epitaxial layers on the silicon substrate is becoming more mature because of its lower cost and greatly promotes the marketization of nitride high-voltage devices.
- the silicon material itself has electrical conductivity and the breakdown electric field is relatively small, under the condition of high voltage, the silicon substrate is equivalent to a low resistance region, which cannot effectively prevent leakage of the device; when the applied voltage is high enough to reach the critical breakdown electric field of silicon
- the bottom of the silicon village first breaks down, which in turn causes longitudinal breakdown of the epitaxial layer, so that the breakdown of the silicon nitride high voltage device is basically through the longitudinal breakdown of the silicon substrate, especially when the silicon village bottom is grounded. Reduce it by half compared to when it is not grounded.
- the breakdown voltage of the silicon nitride high-voltage device is mainly related to the thickness of the epitaxial layer
- the thickness of the silicon nitride epitaxial layer is generally small, for example, about 2 ⁇ m to 7 ⁇ m, so the nitrogen on the silicon substrate
- the highest breakdown voltage of a high voltage device is typically no more than 2000V, which is much less than the highest breakdown voltage of a nitride high voltage device on a sapphire or silicon carbide substrate.
- the thickness of the nitride epitaxial layer In order to increase the breakdown voltage of the silicon nitride high voltage device, it can be realized by increasing the thickness of the nitride epitaxial layer and increasing the withstand voltage of the silicon substrate.

- As the thickness increases a large number of defects including dislocations exist in the epitaxial layer. As the operating voltage increases, the leakage current also increases. increase.
- stripping off the silicon substrate can eliminate the impact of the silicon substrate on the breakdown voltage and greatly increase the breakdown voltage of the device, but the thickness of the silicon substrate used to grow the nitride is several hundred microns or even more than one. Millimeters, the bottom stripping process on the back is relatively cumbersome, so it is necessary to consider other ways to improve the pressure resistance of the silicon village.
- the applied high voltage is generally applied to the drain of the device, and the gate-drain region is the main tolerant region of the high voltage. Especially in the case of the ground connection of the silicon village, the voltage mainly falls between the drain and the bottom electrode of the silicon village. Silicon Village is also the easiest to break through in this area. Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a nitride high voltage device and a method of manufacturing the same.
- the nitride epitaxial layer having a higher breakdown electric field is isolated from the easily-breakable silicon substrate, or further added.
- Other high-critical electric field materials can avoid the premature breakdown of the silicon substrate in this area, which can greatly increase the breakdown voltage of the device.
- oxidation of the silicon material in the isolation region to form a silicon dioxide layer can further increase the breakdown voltage of the device.
- the isolation region can be realized by wet etching and/or dry etching.
- a selective etching process and/or a dry etching process can be used to improve the lateral side of the silicon village. Corrosion/etching speed to improve isolation.
- the device is less prone to longitudinal breakdown, mainly through lateral breakdown of the nitride epitaxial layer, so the thickness of the nitride epitaxial layer does not need to grow too thick, and the thin epitaxial layer can also achieve high impact.
- the voltage is applied, and the opening etching process of the front nitride epitaxial layer is also easy to control when the thickness of the epitaxial layer is thin, which greatly improves the production efficiency and process controllability.
- the area between the gate and the drain is the main source of high voltage
- the load zone, the breakdown mainly occurs on the bottom of the silicon village in this area.

- the structure or device manufacturing process of the nitride channel layer or the barrier layer on the silicon substrate can also be changed, and the silicon-based nitride high-voltage device enhancement device can also be realized, such as using a fluoride ion bombardment gate.
- the material region under the metal can form an enhanced device or the like.
- the nitride high voltage device of the present invention and the method of manufacturing the same have the following beneficial effects:
- a partial spatial isolation region is formed by partially removing a portion of the silicon substrate below the nitride epitaxial layer between the gate and the drain, and the region is penetrated by the nitride epitaxial layer having a higher electric field and the silicon bottom liquid which is easily broken down. Isolation, avoiding the breakdown that may be caused by the silicon substrate, thereby realizing a device that can withstand high breakdown voltage;
