Problems solved by technology

The selectivity of dry etching is poor, and there are problems such as ion radiation damage. When etching large-size SiC-based AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices, especially when etching 6-inch SiC-based AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices, these problems In turn, it is also enlarged, so it is difficult to meet the process requirements in terms of etching rate, hole uniformity, SiC and GaN selectivity, GaN and metal selection. In addition, when carving holes on large-sized SiC-based AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices , it is difficult to effectively control the warpage of the device itself

Abstract

The invention discloses a deep hole etching method of a SiC-based GaN crystal. The deep hole etching method mainly comprises the steps of processing before etching, etching a pre-etched hole, performing first dry etching on a SiC substrate layer under a first etching parameter, performing second dry etching on a GaN base layer under a second etching parameter, and finally forming a back hole by etching. When the etching method is used for etching the SiC-based GaN crystal with a large size, particularly six inches, the selective ratio of SiC to GaN is larger than 30:1 during etching of the SiC substrate, the selective ratio of the SiC to Ni is larger than 30:1, the side wall angle is 85-87 degrees, the selective ratio of the GaN to the SiC is larger than 3:1 during etching of the GaN base layer, the side wall angle is larger than 85 degrees, the finally-etched back hole is low in particle pollution, weak in metal corrosion and uniform in hole etching, and the warpage of the device can be effectively controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of field effect transistor (FET) and compound semiconductor technology, in particular to a SiC backhole etching method for SiC-based GaN crystals. Background technique [0002] As the third-generation wide bandgap compound semiconductor device, AlGaN / GaN HEMT has excellent characteristics in terms of power output and frequency characteristics, making it have a good application prospect in high temperature, high frequency, and high power devices. At present, SiC is selected as the preferred substrate material of AlGaN / GaN HEMT to manufacture SiC-based AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices. [0003] For SiC-based AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices, through-hole grounding is required to improve the frequency characteristics and reliability of the device, and facilitate the design and manufacture of microwave monolithic integrated circuits. At present, the through-holes of SiC-based AlGaN / GaN HEMT devices are selected for SiC Dry etching based on...
