Abstract

The invention discloses an enhanced high electronic mobility transistor and a manufacturing method thereof. The transistor comprises a substrate, a channel layer located above the substrate, a barrier layer located on the channel layer, a groove located in the barrier layer; a secondary growth semiconductor epitaxial layer located on the groove, an orthotopic dielectric layer located on the secondary growth semiconductor epitaxial layer, a grid electrode located on the orthotopic dielectric layer, a source electrode located on the barrier layer and a drain electrode located on the barrier layer, wherein a two-dimensional electron gas is formed at an interface position of the barrier layer and the channel layer. By using the enhanced high electronic mobility transistor, material damages and defects caused by etching can be reduced, an interface state density of the groove and the secondary growth semiconductor epitaxial layer and an interface state density of the orthotopic dielectric layer and the secondary growth semiconductor epitaxial layer are decreased, electric leakage of the grid electrode is reduced, a breakdown voltage and power performance of the transistor are increased and a degradation effect of a dynamic conduction resistor is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to an enhanced high electron mobility transistor and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials represented by GaN (gallium nitride) have excellent properties such as wide bandgap, high breakdown electric field strength, high saturation electron drift velocity, high thermal conductivity, and high concentration of two-dimensional electron gas at the heterogeneous interface. Compared with Si (silicon) materials, GaN is more suitable for making power electronic devices with high power, high voltage and high switching speed. Compared with traditional Si devices, GaN devices can carry higher power density and have higher energy conversion efficiency, which can reduce the volume and weight of the entire system, thereby reducing system cost. [0003] At present, a large part of research is only aimed at de...
