Problems solved by technology

Looking at the preparation of GaN-based HEMTs at home and abroad in recent years, although enhanced devices have been realized, they all remain at the preparation level. Only after the device is prepared can the value of the threshold voltage be measured, so it is impossible to predict the threshold voltage. range, and it is impossible to manufacture HEMT devices with specific threshold voltage values

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for manufacturing a threshold voltage controllable GaN-based enhanced device based on a real-time monitoring open gate structure parameter, which mainly solves the problem that the threshold voltage cannot be accurately controlled in the prior art. The method comprises the steps of: growing a GaN buffer layer, an AlN insert layer, an AlGaN barrier layer and a GaN cap layer on a substrate in sequence from bottom to top; manufacturing source and drain electrodes on the GaN cap layer; calculating the remaining thickness of the barrier layer and the on-resistance of an open gate structure according to the design requirement of the threshold voltage; according to the calculated theoretical values, making a groove of the corresponding depth in the AlGaN barrier layer between the source and drain electrodes; performing quick thermal annealing on the sample in an N2 atmosphere; manufacturing a gate electrode above the groove; and manufacturing a metal connector above the source and drain electrodes, thus completing the manufacturing of the device. The method can be used for manufacturing a device having specific threshold voltage according to actual needs, and the device can be applied to an integrated circuit having high frequency and high power.
