Abstract:
An enhancement-mode GaN-based HEMT device on Si substrate and a manufacturing method thereof. The device includes a Si substrate, an AlN nucleation layer, AlGaN transition layers, an AlGaN buffer layer, a low temperature AlN insertion layer, an AlGaN main buffer layer, an AlGaN/GaN superlattice layer, an GaN channel layer, and an AlGaN barrier layer. Both sides of a top end of the HEMT device are a source electrode and a drain electrode respectively, and a middle of the top end is a gate electrode. A middle of the AlGaN barrier layer is etched through to form a recess, and a bottom of the recess is connected to the GaN channel layer. A passivation protective layer and a gate dielectric layer are deposited on the bottom of the recess, and the gate electrode is located above the dielectric layer.
