Description

A kind of preparation method of nitride LED with vertical structure
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of semiconductors, refer in particular to a kind of growing method that designs for the growth that realizes gallium nitride-based vertical structure LED epitaxial material, can realize in conjunction with MOCVD and HVPE and by peeling off certainly of nitride.
Background technology
The spectrum of nitride polynary system material is from 0.7ev to 6.2ev, it is luminous to be used for interband, color covers from infrared to ultraviolet wavelength, aspect optoelectronic applications, has great application prospect as blue light, green glow, ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LED), short wavelength laser diode aspects such as (LD).Nitride LED is widely used in display, illumination, indicator light, billboard, traffic lights etc., and the light compositing light source is quickened in conduct in agricultural, the instrument of conduct diagnosis and treatment in medical treatment; Nitride royal purple light LD is just becoming the core components and parts of the Blue Ray of commander's DVD memory technology of future generation, has vast market prospect.Particularly people are more and more higher for the expection that light-emitting diode is applied to general illumination in recent years, make that the development of nitride based LED is swift and violent day by day.But will really realize the general illumination of nitride based LED or be called semiconductor lighting, also must improve the performance of nitride LED in the production cost that significantly reduces nitride LED, mainly be aspects such as luminous efficiency, heat dispersion and life-span.
People generally acknowledge that the nitride LED of vertical stratification can have extraordinary current expansion performance and heat dispersion at present, thereby may realize higher luminous efficiency and longer life-span.The method of existing realization nitride vertical stratification LED mainly contains four kinds: first kind is to use the Sapphire Substrate heteroepitaxy the most extensive, that performance is best, because the non-conductive LED that needs the removal sapphire can make vertical stratification of Sapphire Substrate, more common way is to remove substrate by laser lift-off after heteroepitaxy now, subject matter is that laser lift-off equipment is relatively more expensive, the while stripping technology is more complicated also, need to realize the transfer of nitride film, exist the not high problem of rate of finished products by bonding technology at least once; Second kind is to remove substrate by the mode of mechanical lapping after the heteroepitaxy on the substrates such as sapphire or SiC, and the problem of this method is substrate, and often hardness is bigger, grinds time-consuming taking a lot of work, and cost is higher; The third method is exactly a direct extension nitride material on conductive substrates, and such as the substrates such as Si of metal substrate or low-resistance, its problem is that epitaxial crystal is of poor quality, does not still have very ripe technological development; The 4th kind just is to use sacrifice layer, realize peeling off of substrate by removing sacrifice layer, this method need be transferred to nitride material other support substrates equally and get on, and the sacrifice layer of laterally removing between substrate and the epitaxial loayer also greatly reduces the time efficiency and the rate of finished products of this method, thereby do not obtain using in actual production.
Based on the two-forty and the high-quality of HVPE method growing nitride, HVPE is used for the substrate and the template of growing nitride by people.Because the problem of nitride production efficiency etc., the nitride cost is high, has limited the especially extremely important general illumination of cost field of its possibility that is used for LED greatly.HVPE growing nitride template is one of feasible LED growth substrates, but the removal problem that faces initial substrates such as sapphire etc. equally makes HVPE nitride template be used for making slow progress in the LED growth.
The be applied to HVPE legal system successful from lift-off technology is equipped with the gallium nitride homo-substrate, and Hitachi's cable uses from stripping means and obtains 3 inches gallium nitride substrate and kept very high rate of finished products.But still there are not researcher or company to use so far from the grow gallium nitride based LED of vertical stratification of stripping means.Even its reason mainly be the nitride LED of MOCVD growth can be from peeling off also since thickness cross thin and can't realize self-supporting; Use HVPE thick film template to be used for often not possessing of LED preparation, can't peel off certainly but nitride and substrate form strong bonding from the up-stripping layer of peeling off.
The present invention just is being based on the analysis to above method, accurately control LED structure and weak bond in conjunction with HVPE high-speed rapid growth nitride, MOCVD growth and close peeling off certainly of realization, growth can self-supporting the nitride LED structural material and be used for the preparation of vertical stratification LED, can satisfy the large-scale production requirement of general illumination high-performance, low cost and high finished product rate fully, will help semiconductor lighting to move towards general illumination.
The present invention is specially adapted to realize disposable epitaxial growth of gallium nitride based vertical structure LED epitaxial material on the equipment of HVPE and MOCVD combination such as MOHVPE or the SHMOCVD, it is simple to have process route, the rate of finished products height, advantages such as material property is good are the effective solutions of realizing low cost, high-performance and the high finished product rate of nitride vertical stratification LED.Certainly the repeatedly extension that also can be used for HVPE and MOCVD makes up and realizes identical vertical stratification LED.
