▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - The method involves forming (S2) an epitaxial structure on a semiconductor substrate. The epitaxial structure includes a gallium-nitride layer and an indium-aluminum-nitride barrier layer formed on the surface of the gallium-nitride layer. A graphene film is formed (S3) on the surface of the indium-aluminum-nitrogen barrier layer. A source electrode and a drain electrode are formed (S4) on the surface of the graphene film. A gate opening is defined (S5) on the epitaxial structure between the source electrode and the drain electrode. The gate opening penetrates the graphene film to expose the indium-aluminum-nitrogen barrier layer. A dielectric passivation layer is formed on the indium-aluminum-nitrogen barrier layer corresponding to the gate opening. A gate structure is formed (S6) on the dielectric passivation layer to prepare a gallium-nitride device. USE - Method of manufacturing gallium nitride device structure based on graphene covering layer. ADVANTAGE - Since the graphene film is used to cover the surface of the indium-aluminum-nitrogen barrier layer, the problems of tunnel leakage and current collapse effects caused by device surface defects are solved. The heat dissipation effect is improved in a simple way, since the graphene film is used as a heat dissipation layer. The ohmic contact resistance is effectively reduced. The gate tunneling current is reduced by covering the graphene film. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a gallium-nitride device structure based on graphene covering layer.
