  • Publication number: 20240006219
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a support structure, and a first dielectric layer and a growth substrate sequentially formed on the support structure, where a gravity center of the support structure and a gravity center of the growth substrate are disposed in a staggered manner, so that the direct contact between the growth substrate and the graphite disk can be avoided, a centrifugal force on the growth substrate exerted by the graphite disk to the support structure can be transferred, thereby further ensuring a quality of the growth substrate, and significantly reducing a probability of cracking to ensure a crystal quality of a subsequent epitaxial layer. The support structure is formed at the bottom of the growth substrate, so that a mechanical strength of the semiconductor structure can be effectively improved, a stability can be enhanced, and a deformation of the semiconductor structure can be suppressed.

    Abstract: A semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method therefor are provided by embodiments of the present application. A buffer layer is disposed on a substrate layer, and the buffer layer includes a first buffer layer and a second buffer layer. By doping a transition metal in the first buffer layer, a deep level trap may be formed to capture background electrons, and diffusion of free electrons toward the substrate may also be avoided. In the second buffer layer, by decreasing a doping concentration of the transition metal or not doping intentionally the transition metal, a tailing effect is avoided and current collapse is prevented. By doping periodically C in the buffer layer, C may be as an acceptor impurity to compensate the background electrons, and then a concentration of the background electrons is reduced.
