Abstract

The invention discloses a gallium nitride transistor structure and a preparation method thereof. The gallium nitride transistor structure includes: a substrate 1; a GaN-based buffer layer 2 located onthe substrate 1; an InxAlyGa1-x-yN / GaN heterojunction epitaxial structure positioned on the GaN-based buffer layer 2; a source electrode 6 positioned at one end of the surface of the InxAlyGa1-x-yN / GaN heterojunction epitaxial structure; a drain electrode 5 positioned at the other end of the surface of the InxAlyGa1-x-yN / GaN heterojunction epitaxial structure; and a p-type oxide film and a gate 7which are located at the surface of the InxAlyGa1-x-yN / GaN heterojunction epitaxial structure. The p-type oxide film is arranged between the source electrode 6 and the drain electrode 5 at the surface of the InxAlyGa1-x-yN / GaN heterojunction epitaxial structure to obtain the GaN transistor structure of the p-type oxide intercalation to suppress the current collapse effect, and the virtual gate effect is relieved by neutralizing electrons in the hole in the p-type oxide and captured by surface traps.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and in particular relates to a gallium nitride transistor structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Devices based on traditional semiconductor materials such as Si and GaAs are limited by the properties of the material itself, so it is difficult to further improve the corresponding indicators of power semiconductor devices. In recent years, the third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials based on group III nitrides have developed rapidly. GaN has excellent material properties such as wide band gap, high saturation electron drift rate, high breakdown field strength and high thermal conductivity, and has great development potential in the fields of high frequency, high temperature, high power and ultraviolet LEDs. In addition, GaN also has excellent electronic properties, and can form a modulation-doped AlGaN / GaN heterostructure with AlGaN, and obta...
