Description
技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及半导体技术领域,特别是涉及一种半导体结构及其制备方法。The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a semiconductor structure and a preparation method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
氮化镓(GaN)作为一种宽禁带半导体材料具有极大的电学性能优势,氮化镓铝/氮化镓(AlGaN/GaN)异质结结构因为其强大的自发极化和压电极化效应,会在靠近界面处的GaN一侧感生出高浓度的二维电子气,由于电子被限制在势阱中,且该区域杂质掺杂极少,因此电离杂质散射和合金无序散射较小,二维电子气具有极高的迁移率和电子饱和速率。除此之外,由于GaN材料固有的宽禁带属性,其临界击穿场强极大,适合制作大功率微波二极管,而减小氮化镓微波二极管电容是提升器件工作频率与效率的主要途径。Gallium nitride (GaN), as a wide-bandgap semiconductor material, has great electrical performance advantages. The aluminum gallium nitride/gallium nitride (AlGaN/GaN) heterojunction structure has strong spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric properties. The ionization effect will induce a high concentration of two-dimensional electron gas on the GaN side close to the interface. Since the electrons are confined in the potential well and there are very few impurities in this area, the ionized impurity scattering and alloy disorder scattering are relatively small. Small, two-dimensional electron gases have extremely high mobility and electron saturation rates. In addition, due to the inherent wide bandgap properties of GaN materials, its critical breakdown field strength is extremely large, making it suitable for making high-power microwave diodes. Reducing the capacitance of gallium nitride microwave diodes is the main way to improve the operating frequency and efficiency of the device. .
当前的横向氮化镓微波二极管在阳极的下方引入刻蚀凹槽,使得异质结结构被破坏,刻蚀凹槽区域电容被消除,器件电容得到很大程度的减小,如图1所示。但该方式仍旧会引入部分寄生电容,影响器件性能。The current lateral gallium nitride microwave diode introduces an etching groove under the anode, so that the heterojunction structure is destroyed, the capacitance in the etching groove area is eliminated, and the device capacitance is greatly reduced, as shown in Figure 1 . However, this method will still introduce some parasitic capacitance, affecting device performance.

The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention.

本申请提供了一种改进的半导体结构,通过减少或消除阳极与二维电子气的交叠来减少或消除由二者交叠产生的寄生电容,提升器件性能(如器件的频率特性)。The present application provides an improved semiconductor structure that improves device performance (such as the frequency characteristics of the device) by reducing or eliminating the overlap of the anode and the two-dimensional electron gas to reduce or eliminate the parasitic capacitance generated by the overlap of the two.
在一实施例中,如图12所示,本申请的半导体结构100包括外延结构10以及设于外延结构10上的阴极20和阳极60。其中,外延结构10包括衬底11以及沿衬底11的厚度方向依次设置的缓冲层12、沟道层13、势垒层14,并且,在沟道层13与势垒层14的界面附近靠近沟道层13的一侧感生出高浓度的二维电子气2DEG。示例性的,阳极60俯视下可以是指形或圆形,阴极20位于阳极60的附近,可选的,阴极20与阳极60之间的间距小于或等于20μm。In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12 , the semiconductor structure 100 of the present application includes an epitaxial structure 10 and a cathode 20 and an anode 60 provided on the epitaxial structure 10 . The epitaxial structure 10 includes a substrate 11 and a buffer layer 12, a channel layer 13, and a barrier layer 14 that are sequentially arranged along the thickness direction of the substrate 11, and are close to the interface between the channel layer 13 and the barrier layer 14. A high concentration of two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG is induced on one side of the channel layer 13 . For example, the anode 60 may be finger-shaped or circular in plan view, and the cathode 20 is located near the anode 60. Optionally, the distance between the cathode 20 and the anode 60 is less than or equal to 20 μm.
进一步的,外延结构10开设有凹槽,至少部分阳极60位于外延结构10的凹槽中,且凹槽中断外延结构10中的二维电子气2DEG,从而消除凹槽区域的电容。Further, the epitaxial structure 10 is provided with grooves, at least part of the anode 60 is located in the grooves of the epitaxial structure 10, and the grooves interrupt the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG in the epitaxial structure 10, thereby eliminating the capacitance in the groove area.
进一步的,阳极60于二维电子气2DEG所在平面的正投影与二维电子气2DEG无重合部分。示例性的,“阳极60于二维电子气2DEG所在平面的正投影与二维电子气2DEG无重合部分”可表示阳极60与二维电子气2DEG未形成交叠的位置关系,也可表示阳极60与二维电子气2DEG的相对面积为0。如此,有利于减少半导体结构100的寄生电容,提升器件的性能。Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the anode 60 on the plane where the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG is located has no overlap with the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG. For example, "the orthographic projection of the anode 60 on the plane where the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG is located does not overlap with the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG" can mean that the anode 60 and the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG do not form an overlapping positional relationship, or it can also mean that the anode The relative area of 60 and the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG is 0. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the parasitic capacitance of the semiconductor structure 100 and improve the performance of the device.
上述半导体结构,由于阳极60于二维电子气2DEG所在平面的正投影与二维电子气2DEG无重合部分,因此可有效减少或消除阳极60与二维电子气2DEG的交叠,进而减少或消除由二者交叠产生的寄生电容,提升器件性能。In the above semiconductor structure, since the orthographic projection of the anode 60 on the plane of the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG does not overlap with the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG, the overlap between the anode 60 and the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG can be effectively reduced or eliminated, thereby reducing or eliminating The parasitic capacitance generated by the overlap of the two improves device performance.
在另一些实施例中,继续参考图12,阳极60与阴极20之间还设置有介质层40。介质层40作为钝化层,可有效抑制器件电流崩塌,避免器件的工作性能退化。示例性的,介质层40可以是氮化硅(SiN)或二氧化硅(SiO2)等绝缘介质。In other embodiments, with continued reference to FIG. 12 , a dielectric layer 40 is further disposed between the anode 60 and the cathode 20 . The dielectric layer 40 serves as a passivation layer, which can effectively suppress device current collapse and avoid device performance degradation. For example, the dielectric layer 40 may be an insulating medium such as silicon nitride (SiN) or silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ).
在另一些实施例中,继续参考图12,外延结构的凹槽的底面位于沟道层13与势垒层14的界面以下5nm~25nm的位置处。如此,有利于保证凹槽能够中断二维电子气2DEG。若凹槽的底面位于沟道层13与势垒层14的界面下方5nm以内,则仍旧容易产生较大的寄生电容,另外,考虑实际工艺实现,需过刻10nm~20nm;若继续深刻,虽然对器件性能影响不大,但会增加制备时间和成本。综上,将凹槽的刻蚀至沟道层13与势垒层14的界面以下5nm~25nm的位置处既能减少寄生电容,也不会增加较多的制备时间和成本。In other embodiments, continuing to refer to FIG. 12 , the bottom surface of the groove of the epitaxial structure is located 5 nm to 25 nm below the interface between the channel layer 13 and the barrier layer 14 . In this way, it is helpful to ensure that the groove can interrupt the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG. If the bottom surface of the groove is located within 5 nm below the interface between the channel layer 13 and the barrier layer 14, it is still easy to generate a large parasitic capacitance. In addition, considering the actual process implementation, it needs to be over-etched by 10 nm to 20 nm; if it continues to be deep, although It has little impact on device performance, but will increase preparation time and cost. In summary, etching the groove to a position 5 nm to 25 nm below the interface between the channel layer 13 and the barrier layer 14 can reduce the parasitic capacitance without increasing the preparation time and cost.
在另一些实施例中,阳极60包括沿外延结构10的厚度方向层叠设置的第一金属层和第二金属层,第一金属层位于外延结构10和第二金属层之间,其中,第一金属层的材质为低功函数金属,第一金属层的厚度的取值范围为30nm~400nm,第二金属层的厚度小于或等于400nm。可选的,第一金属层的材质包括钼(Mo)、钨(W)、镍(Ni)中的至少一种,第二金属层的材质包括金(Au)。通过使各金属层的厚度满足上述范围,一方面可避免因金属过薄导致金属层在制备时不能较好地覆盖凹槽(例如在凹槽底部边缘角的地方发生金属与外延结构10接触不紧密、连续性差)的问题,另一方面也可避免因金属过薄导致的金属层本身不连续的问题。In other embodiments, the anode 60 includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer stacked along the thickness direction of the epitaxial structure 10 , the first metal layer is located between the epitaxial structure 10 and the second metal layer, wherein the first metal layer The material of the metal layer is a low work function metal, the thickness of the first metal layer ranges from 30 nm to 400 nm, and the thickness of the second metal layer is less than or equal to 400 nm. Optionally, the material of the first metal layer includes at least one of molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and nickel (Ni), and the material of the second metal layer includes gold (Au). By making the thickness of each metal layer meet the above range, on the one hand, it can be avoided that the metal layer is not able to cover the groove well during preparation due to the metal being too thin (for example, the metal does not contact the epitaxial structure 10 at the bottom edge corner of the groove). tightness and poor continuity). On the other hand, it can also avoid the problem of discontinuity in the metal layer itself caused by too thin metal.
在另一些实施例中,衬底10采用厚度为100μm~600μm的碳化硅(SiC)衬底或厚度为100μm~600μm蓝宝石衬底或厚度为100μm~1000μm的硅(Si)衬底或100μm~600μm的氮化镓(GaN)衬底。In other embodiments, the substrate 10 is a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate with a thickness of 100 μm ~ 600 μm or a sapphire substrate with a thickness of 100 μm ~ 600 μm or a silicon (Si) substrate with a thickness of 100 μm ~ 1000 μm or 100 μm ~ 600 μm. Gallium Nitride (GaN) substrate.
在另一些实施例中,缓冲层12采用厚度为1μm~6μm的氮化镓(GaN)缓冲层或厚度为1μm~6μm的氮化镓铝(AlGaN)渐变缓冲层。In other embodiments, the buffer layer 12 uses a gallium nitride (GaN) buffer layer with a thickness of 1 μm to 6 μm or an aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) gradient buffer layer with a thickness of 1 μm to 6 μm.
在另一些实施例中,沟道层13采用厚度为100nm~400nm的非故意掺杂氮化镓(GaN)沟道层。In other embodiments, the channel layer 13 uses an unintentionally doped gallium nitride (GaN) channel layer with a thickness of 100 nm to 400 nm.
本申请还提供了一种如前文所述的半导体结构的制备方法。该制备方法通过至少去除介质层顶面的阳极来减少或消除阳极与二维电子气的交叠,进而减少或消除由二者交叠产生的寄生电容,提升器件性能(如器件的频率特性)。The present application also provides a method for preparing the semiconductor structure as described above. This preparation method reduces or eliminates the overlap between the anode and the two-dimensional electron gas by removing at least the anode on the top surface of the dielectric layer, thereby reducing or eliminating the parasitic capacitance generated by the overlap between the two, and improving device performance (such as the frequency characteristics of the device) .
在一实施例中,如图2所示,该制备方法包括以下步骤:In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, the preparation method includes the following steps:
S100、提供形成有阴极的外延结构。S100. Provide an epitaxial structure with a cathode formed thereon.
示例性的,如图4所示,外延结构10上设置有阴极20。其中,外延结构10可包括衬底11以及沿衬底11的厚度方向依次设置的缓冲层12、沟道层13、势垒层14,并且,在沟道层13与势垒层14的界面附近靠近沟道层13的一侧感生出高浓度的二维电子气2DEG。For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , a cathode 20 is provided on the epitaxial structure 10 . The epitaxial structure 10 may include a substrate 11 and a buffer layer 12 , a channel layer 13 , and a barrier layer 14 sequentially arranged along the thickness direction of the substrate 11 , and near the interface between the channel layer 13 and the barrier layer 14 A high concentration of two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG is induced on the side close to the channel layer 13 .
S200、在外延结构和阴极上形成介质层。S200. Form a dielectric layer on the epitaxial structure and the cathode.
示例性的,如图6所示,可通过等离子体增强化学气相沉积工艺在外延结构10和阴极20上沉积介质层40。示例性的,介质层40包括氮化硅(SiN)或二氧化硅(SiO2)等绝缘介质。For example, as shown in FIG. 6 , the dielectric layer 40 may be deposited on the epitaxial structure 10 and the cathode 20 through a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process. For example, the dielectric layer 40 includes an insulating medium such as silicon nitride (SiN) or silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ).
S300、去除部分介质层和与该部分介质层对应的预定厚度的外延结构,以形成中断外延结构中的二维电子气的阳极凹槽。S300. Remove part of the dielectric layer and the epitaxial structure with a predetermined thickness corresponding to the part of the dielectric layer to form an anode groove that interrupts the two-dimensional electron gas in the epitaxial structure.
示例性的,可在介质层40上依次进行匀胶、烘胶、曝光、显影,形成图案化的光阻层,再通过刻蚀技术刻蚀介质层40至势垒层14的表面,再通过刻蚀技术进一步刻蚀与去除的介质层40对应的势垒层14及沟道层13(也就是预定厚度的外延结构),直至势垒层14与沟道层13的界面以下5nm~25nm,也就是说,预定厚度的取值范围可以是势垒层14的厚度再加上5nm~25nm;再将当前结构依次放入丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水溶液中超声清洗预定时间,最后用氮气吹干,完成如图7所示的阳极凹槽50的制作。可以看到,阳极凹槽50中断了外延结构10中的二维电子气2DEG,减少了寄生电容,同时也没有过度深刻,节约了制备时间和成本。可选的,阴极20与阳极凹槽50之间的间距小于或等于20μm。For example, glue leveling, baking, exposure, and development can be performed sequentially on the dielectric layer 40 to form a patterned photoresist layer, and then the dielectric layer 40 is etched to the surface of the barrier layer 14 through etching technology, and then the dielectric layer 40 is etched to the surface of the barrier layer 14 through The etching technology further etches the barrier layer 14 and the channel layer 13 (that is, the epitaxial structure of a predetermined thickness) corresponding to the removed dielectric layer 40 until it is 5 nm to 25 nm below the interface between the barrier layer 14 and the channel layer 13. That is to say, the value range of the predetermined thickness can be the thickness of the barrier layer 14 plus 5 nm to 25 nm; then the current structure is placed in acetone, absolute ethanol, and deionized water solution for ultrasonic cleaning for a predetermined time, and finally it is cleaned with nitrogen Blow dry to complete the production of the anode groove 50 as shown in Figure 7. It can be seen that the anode groove 50 interrupts the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG in the epitaxial structure 10, reducing the parasitic capacitance without being too deep, saving preparation time and cost. Optionally, the distance between the cathode 20 and the anode groove 50 is less than or equal to 20 μm.
S400、在阳极凹槽的表面和与阳极凹槽的表面连接的介质层的表面形成阳极。S400. Form an anode on the surface of the anode groove and the surface of the dielectric layer connected to the surface of the anode groove.
由于光刻工艺存在误差,光阻无法正好涂覆至阳极凹槽50的边缘,因此为保障阳极完整覆盖阳极凹槽50,需在光刻时保留一部分延展至阳极凹槽50之外(如与阳极凹槽50连接的介质层40的表面)的阳极,从而形成如图8所示的与二维电子气2DEG交叠的阳极部分(虚线圆圈示出)。另一方面,通过使各金属层的沉积厚度满足上述范围,一方面可避免因金属过薄导致金属层在制备时不能较好地覆盖阳极凹槽50(例如在阳极凹槽50底部边缘角的地方发生金属与外延结构10接触不紧密、连续性差)的问题,另一方面也可避免因金属过薄导致的金属层本身不连续的问题。Due to errors in the photolithography process, the photoresist cannot be coated exactly to the edge of the anode groove 50 . Therefore, in order to ensure that the anode completely covers the anode groove 50 , a portion extending outside the anode groove 50 needs to be retained during photolithography (such as with The anode groove 50 is connected to the anode on the surface of the dielectric layer 40 , thereby forming an anode portion (shown by a dotted circle) overlapping the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG as shown in FIG. 8 . On the other hand, by making the deposition thickness of each metal layer meet the above range, on the one hand, it can be avoided that the metal layer is too thin and cannot cover the anode groove 50 well during preparation (for example, at the bottom edge corner of the anode groove 50 This prevents problems such as loose contact and poor continuity between the metal and the epitaxial structure 10. On the other hand, it can also avoid the problem of discontinuity of the metal layer itself caused by the metal being too thin.
示例性的,步骤S400可包括以下步骤:S410、在介质层40和外延结构10上形成图案化的光阻层;S420、通过沉积工艺在介质层40、外延结构10和图案化的光阻层上形成阳极金属层;S430、通过剥离工艺去除图案化的光阻层和图案化的光阻层上的阳极金属层,保留介质层和外延结构上的阳极金属层形成阳极60。Exemplarily, step S400 may include the following steps: S410, forming a patterned photoresist layer on the dielectric layer 40 and the epitaxial structure 10; S420, forming a patterned photoresist layer on the dielectric layer 40, the epitaxial structure 10 and the patterned photoresist layer through a deposition process. An anode metal layer is formed on the photoresist layer; S430, the patterned photoresist layer and the anode metal layer on the patterned photoresist layer are removed through a stripping process, leaving the dielectric layer and the anode metal layer on the epitaxial structure to form an anode 60.
示例性的,在一具体实施方式中,可在刻蚀完阳极凹槽50的结构上依次进行匀胶、烘胶、曝光、显影,并使用磁控溅射设备或电子束蒸发设备在阳极凹槽50的表面先沉积厚度为30nm~400nm低功函数金属钼(Mo)或钨(W)或镍(Ni),再沉积0~400nm的金属金Au,再用丙酮溶液浸泡,使得光阻区域的金属被剥离,再将该外延片依次放入洁净丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水溶液中超声清洗预定时间,最后用氮气吹干,完成如图8所示的阳极60的制作。可选的,阳极可采用肖特基金属,也可采用其他适于制备阳极的金属。For example, in a specific embodiment, glue leveling, baking, exposure, and development can be performed sequentially on the structure of the anode groove 50 after etching, and magnetron sputtering equipment or electron beam evaporation equipment can be used to etch the anode groove 50 . The surface of the tank 50 is first deposited with low work function metal molybdenum (Mo) or tungsten (W) or nickel (Ni) with a thickness of 30 nm to 400 nm, and then metal gold Au with a thickness of 0 to 400 nm is deposited, and then soaked in an acetone solution to form a photoresist area. The metal is peeled off, and then the epitaxial wafer is placed in clean acetone, absolute ethanol, and deionized water solution for ultrasonic cleaning for a predetermined time, and finally dried with nitrogen to complete the production of the anode 60 as shown in Figure 8. Optionally, the anode can be made of Schottky metal or other metals suitable for preparing anodes.
S500、至少去除所述介质层顶面的阳极。S500: Remove at least the anode on the top surface of the dielectric layer.
示例性的,如图10所示,可通过刻蚀工艺去除介质层40顶面的阳极来减小器件的寄生电容。示例性的,如图11所示,还可通过研磨或抛光工艺去除高于介质层40顶面的阳极来减小器件的寄生电容,如此有利于简化阳极的去除工艺。示例性的,如图9所示,还可通过研磨或抛光工艺由上至下去除部分介质层和部分阳极,以使阳极60于二维电子气2DEG所在平面的正投影与二维电子气2DEG无重合部分来减小器件的寄生电容,如此既有利于对结构进一步减薄,也不会增加工艺的复杂性。示例性的,可将结构的背面键合在研磨盘上再对结构的正面进行研磨,实现如图9或图11所示的研磨效果,再将结构解键合,并依次放入洁净丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水溶液中超声清洗预定时间,最后用氮气吹干,完成如图9或图11所示的部分阳极去除。通过采用研磨或抛光的工艺去除与二维电子气交叠的阳极,简单有效,可行性强,器件的成品率也较高。For example, as shown in FIG. 10 , the anode on the top surface of the dielectric layer 40 can be removed through an etching process to reduce the parasitic capacitance of the device. For example, as shown in FIG. 11 , the anode higher than the top surface of the dielectric layer 40 can also be removed through a grinding or polishing process to reduce the parasitic capacitance of the device, which is beneficial to simplifying the anode removal process. For example, as shown in FIG. 9 , part of the dielectric layer and part of the anode can also be removed from top to bottom through a grinding or polishing process, so that the orthographic projection of the anode 60 on the plane where the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG is located is consistent with the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG. There is no overlapping part to reduce the parasitic capacitance of the device, which is beneficial to further thinning the structure and does not increase the complexity of the process. For example, the back side of the structure can be bonded to a grinding disc and then the front side of the structure can be ground to achieve the grinding effect shown in Figure 9 or Figure 11. The structure can then be debonded and put into clean acetone and anhydrous water in sequence. Ultrasonically clean in ethanol and deionized water solutions for a predetermined time, and finally blow dry with nitrogen to complete partial anode removal as shown in Figure 9 or Figure 11. By using a grinding or polishing process to remove the anode overlapping the two-dimensional electron gas, it is simple, effective and feasible, and the device yield is also high.
上述半导体结构的制备方法,通过去除介质层40顶面的阳极,可有效减少或消除阳极60与二维电子气2DEG的交叠,进而减少或消除由二者交叠产生的寄生电容,提升器件性能。The above preparation method of the semiconductor structure can effectively reduce or eliminate the overlap of the anode 60 and the two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG by removing the anode on the top surface of the dielectric layer 40, thereby reducing or eliminating the parasitic capacitance generated by the overlap of the two, and improving the device performance.
在另一些实施例中,在步骤S100之前,还包括步骤:In other embodiments, before step S100, there are also steps:
S100”、清洗外延结构。S100”, cleaning epitaxial structure.
示例性的,将外延结构先放入氢氟酸(HF)溶液或氯化氢(HCl)溶液中浸泡预定时间,再依次放入丙酮溶液、无水乙醇溶液和去离子水中超声清洗预定时间,最后用氮气吹干,完成如图3所示的洁净的外延结构10的制作。For example, the epitaxial structure is first soaked in a hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution or a hydrogen chloride (HCl) solution for a predetermined time, and then placed in an acetone solution, anhydrous ethanol solution, and deionized water for ultrasonic cleaning for a predetermined time, and finally cleaned with Blow dry with nitrogen to complete the production of a clean epitaxial structure 10 as shown in Figure 3 .
在另一些实施例中,在步骤S100之前,还包括步骤:In other embodiments, before step S100, there are also steps:
S100’、制作器件阴极。S100’, making the device cathode.
示例性的,可在洁净的外延结构10上依次进行匀胶、烘胶、曝光、显影,并使用电子束蒸发设备在外延结构10上沉积钛(Ti)/铝(Al)/镍(Ni)/金(Au)金属叠层,再将结构浸泡在丙酮溶液中,使光阻区域的金属被剥离,再将结构依次放入丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水溶液中超声清洗预定时间,用氮气吹干后放入快速退火炉进行退火,形成如图4所示的器件阴极20。可选的,阴极20可采用欧姆接触金属,也可采用其他适于制备阴极的金属。For example, the clean epitaxial structure 10 can be smoothed, baked, exposed, and developed in sequence, and electron beam evaporation equipment can be used to deposit titanium (Ti)/aluminum (Al)/nickel (Ni) on the epitaxial structure 10 /Gold (Au) metal stack, then soak the structure in an acetone solution to peel off the metal in the photoresist area, and then put the structure into acetone, absolute ethanol, and deionized water solution for ultrasonic cleaning for a predetermined time, and use nitrogen After drying, it is placed in a rapid annealing furnace for annealing to form the device cathode 20 as shown in Figure 4. Optionally, the cathode 20 can be made of ohmic contact metal, or other metals suitable for preparing cathodes.
在另一些实施例中,在步骤S200之前,还包括步骤:In other embodiments, before step S200, the steps are also included:
S200’、制作台面隔离结构。S200’, making the countertop isolation structure.
示例性的,在制作完阴极的外延结构10上依次进行匀胶、烘胶、曝光、显影,再通过刻蚀工艺刻蚀外延结构10的两端区域(或者称台面外区域),再将结构依次放入丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水溶液中超声清洗预定时间,用氮气吹干,完成如图5所示的台面隔离结构30的制作。For example, on the epitaxial structure 10 after the cathode is fabricated, glue spreading, baking, exposure, and development are performed in sequence, and then the two end regions (or areas outside the mesa) of the epitaxial structure 10 are etched through an etching process, and then the structure is Put it into acetone, absolute ethanol, and deionized water solution for ultrasonic cleaning for a predetermined time, and blow dry with nitrogen to complete the production of the table isolation structure 30 as shown in Figure 5.
在另一些实施例中,步骤S200中,为保证后续工艺去除搭在台面上的阳极时不损坏器件结构(如阴极金属),介质层40的沉积厚度需大于阴极20的厚度,如此可保证阴极20与阳极凹槽50之间的介质层的厚度大于阴极20的厚度,避免在后续去除阳极的工艺过程中损坏器件结构。示例性的,介质层40的沉积厚度h满足300nm<h≤1000nm;或,满足300nm<h≤600nm。通过控制沉积厚度大于300nm,可保证介质层40的厚度大于阴极20的厚度,从而避免在后续去除阳极的工艺过程中损坏阴极20,同时介质层40的沉积厚度小于或等于1000nm,可避免介质层40过厚而影响成膜质量;另外,通过控制介质层40的沉积厚度小于或等于600nm,既可减少材料浪费,也可节约后续的工艺时间。In other embodiments, in step S200, in order to ensure that the device structure (such as the cathode metal) is not damaged when the anode is removed on the table in the subsequent process, the deposition thickness of the dielectric layer 40 needs to be greater than the thickness of the cathode 20. This ensures that the cathode The thickness of the dielectric layer between 20 and the anode groove 50 is greater than the thickness of the cathode 20 to avoid damage to the device structure during the subsequent anode removal process. For example, the deposition thickness h of the dielectric layer 40 satisfies 300nm<h≤1000nm; or satisfies 300nm<h≤600nm. By controlling the deposition thickness to be greater than 300 nm, it can be ensured that the thickness of the dielectric layer 40 is greater than the thickness of the cathode 20, thereby avoiding damage to the cathode 20 during the subsequent anode removal process. At the same time, the deposition thickness of the dielectric layer 40 is less than or equal to 1000 nm, which can avoid the dielectric layer being damaged. 40 is too thick and affects the film formation quality; in addition, by controlling the deposition thickness of the dielectric layer 40 to be less than or equal to 600 nm, material waste can be reduced and subsequent process time can be saved.
在另一些实施例中,该制备方法在步骤S500之后还包括以下步骤:In other embodiments, the preparation method further includes the following steps after step S500:
S600、对阴极上的介质层进行刻蚀,以使阴极的至少部分顶面暴露于空气。S600. Etch the dielectric layer on the cathode so that at least part of the top surface of the cathode is exposed to the air.
示例性的,将制作完阳极的结构依次进行匀胶、烘胶、曝光、显影,并通过刻蚀工艺刻蚀通孔区域至阴极的金属表面,再将结构依次放入丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水溶液中超声清洗预定时间,最后用氮气吹干,完成如图12所示的半导体结构100的制备。For example, the structure of the anode after being fabricated is sequentially subjected to glue leveling, baking, exposure, and development, and the through hole area is etched to the metal surface of the cathode through an etching process, and then the structure is sequentially placed in acetone, absolute ethanol, Ultrasonically clean in a deionized water solution for a predetermined time, and finally blow dry with nitrogen to complete the preparation of the semiconductor structure 100 as shown in FIG. 12 .
