SiC MESFET工艺技术研究与器件研制

针对SiC衬底缺陷密度相对较高的问题,研究了消除或减弱其影响的工艺技术并进行了器件研制.通过优化刻蚀条件获得了粗糙度为2.07 nm的刻蚀表面;牺牲氧化技术去除刻蚀带来的表面损伤层,湿氧加干氧的氧化方式生长的SiO2钝化膜既有足够的厚度又保证了致密性良好的界面,减小了表面态对栅特性和沟道区的影响,获得了理想因子为1.17,势垒高度为0.72 eV的良好的肖特基特性;等平面工艺有效屏蔽了衬底缺陷对电极互连引线的影响,减小了反向截止漏电流,使器件在1 mA下击穿电压达到了65 V,40 V下反向漏电流为20μA.为了提高器件成品率,避免或减小衬底缺陷深能级对沟道电流的影响,使用该工艺制备的小栅宽SiCMESFET具有195 mA/mm的饱和电流密度,-15 V的夹断电压.初步测试该器件有一定的微波特性,2 GHz下测试其最大输出功率为30 dBm,增益大于5 dB.

Study on the Process and Manufaction of SiC MESFET

To avoid the influence of high defect density on SiC substrate,the manufacturing process was studied for reducing the defects.RMS of the etching surface was about 2.07 nm by optimizing the etching.The affected layers bringing by etching was removed through sacrificial oxidation.The influence of surface state to gate characteristic and channel region was reduced by wetting oxidation adding dry oxidation.This oxidation can obtain enough thickness of SiO2 and ensure the good compact interface,so the better Sch...
