A kind of vertical gas flow pattern MOCVD gas transport nozzle arrangement
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the equipment of semiconductor material growing, especially relate to a kind of vertical gas flow pattern MOCVD gas transport nozzle arrangement.
Background technology
Metal organic chemical vapor deposition equipment (MOCVD) is a visual plant for preparing semiconductor material at present, especially has remarkable advantages at fermentation such as preparation superlattice, SQWs, has been used for scale operation in photoelectronic industry.The used starting material of MOCVD all feed reaction chamber with the form of gas, and these gases are easy at room temperature react mutually, such as: NH during the growth P-type GaN material
3As the N source, trimethyl-gallium (TmGa) is as the Ga source, two luxuriant magnesium (Cp
2Mg) as doped source, though when room temperature NH
3Also can with Cp
2The Mg reaction forms adducts, and these adductss are solid, are adsorbed on easily in the pipeline, make Mg be difficult to be transported to reaction chamber, can't be incorporated among the GaN.Therefore, all reactant gases is separately fed reaction chamber at all type of production MOCVD of usefulness at present.Reaction tubes for vertical stratification; If the outlet of shower nozzle is too near apart from substrate; The gas that then flows at a high speed can't thorough mixing, thereby the homogeneity of utilization rate of raw materials or material growth is impacted, if shower nozzle is too far away apart from substrate; Then pre-reaction is big, causes utilization rate of raw materials low equally.And for horizontal reaction chamber, the distance that gas level flows through is also very long, can produce very big pre-reaction.Therefore; We can say at present nearly all employing the growth gasses MOCVD that separately feeds chamber designs faced all that gas mixes and pre-reaction between competitive relation, this competitive relation also can have a negative impact to the crystal mass of institute's growth material, utilization rate of raw materials etc.Obviously, if with reactant gases before getting into reaction chamber with regard to thorough mixing, and make shower nozzle to the distance of substrate when smaller, then can thorough mixing, again can the better controlled pre-reaction.Yet the front is mentioned, and mixes in advance to produce some solid-state adductss, has influenced normally transporting of gas.Therefore, as long as address this problem, then in advance hybrid nozzle will be unusual ideal designs.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of vertical gas flow pattern MOCVD gas transport nozzle arrangement that can reactant gases be mixed in advance, feed then reaction chamber, guarantee the normal conveying of gas, it has overcome the competitive relation between existing gas mixing of present nearly all MOCVD and the pre-reaction.
The objective of the invention is to realize like this:
A kind of vertical gas flow pattern MOCVD gas transport nozzle arrangement; Comprise a dead front type shell of forming by top board, sidewall and base plate; The part that the inside of dead front type shell is divided into three independences and seals each other by last la m and following la m; Be respectively incubation cavity, gas mixing chamber and waterway; Air inlet port between following la m and base plate is communicated with the reaction chamber below the air outlet of gas mixing chamber and air inlet port; Air inlet port is responsible for the reactant gases that mixes in the gas mixing chamber is transported in the reaction chamber, on the corresponding side walls of waterway two ends, is separately installed with cooling water inlet pipe and cooling water outlet pipe, and characteristic is: first inlet pipe and second inlet pipe are installed on the gas mixing chamber corresponding side walls; The gas that first inlet pipe and second inlet pipe are responsible for two types is transported to respectively in the gas mixing chamber, all is tied with the heating zone at the outer wall of first inlet pipe and second inlet pipe.
First inlet pipe in opposite directions and second inlet pipe are installed in respectively on the corresponding side walls of gas mixing chamber two ends; Or first inlet pipe in the same way and second inlet pipe are installed in respectively on the corresponding same avris wall of gas mixing chamber; Or, the inlet pipe threeway with first inlet pipe and second inlet pipe is installed on the gas mixing chamber corresponding side walls.
On the corresponding side walls of incubation cavity two ends, be separately installed with insulation liquid liquid-inlet pipe and insulation liquid drain pipe; In incubation cavity, pretend water or oil into insulation liquid; In incubation cavity, pretend water into insulation liquid; Temperature is controlled at 30-90 ℃ of scope, or in incubation cavity, pretends the oil into insulation liquid, and temperature is controlled at 30-150 ℃ of scope.
The air outlet of air inlet port is made as 10-20mm to the distance of substrate.
Two kinds of different types of reactant gasess among the present invention are passed in gas mixing chamber or the inlet pipe threeway through first inlet pipe and second inlet pipe and carry out pre-mixing; Two kinds of reactant gasess just mix before getting into reaction chamber in advance, and the gas that mixes after finishing vertically sprays the entering reaction chamber through air inlet port then.The heating zone can be heated first inlet pipe and second inlet pipe, and temperature is controlled at 30-100 ℃ of scope.Water or oil as insulation liquid are housed in the incubation cavity at gas mixing chamber top, and to the heating of the mixed gas in the gas mixing chamber, temperature is controlled at 30-150 ℃ of scope.Water back and be to make some organic source (like CP with the purpose of moist closet heated air mixing section
2Mg) and NH
3The adducts that forms can have high saturated vapor pressure and be brought into reaction chamber.In addition, the air outlet and the distance between the substrate of air inlet port are controlled at the 10-20mm scope, and its purpose is to reduce the transport time of reactant gases in the high-temperature zone as far as possible, thereby reduce the occurrence probability of pre-reaction.The present invention can make the gas thorough mixing, can reduce pre-reaction to a great extent again, has overcome the competitive relation of gas mixing with pre-reaction.And for organic source and NH
3Between form the problem that adducts influences gas transport, also the way through heated air pipeline and gas mixing chamber has obtained solution well.
The applicant has done following two kinds of experiments: first kind to the heating of gas pipeline and gas mixing chamber, and second kind is heated to 80 ℃ with gas pipeline and gas mixing chamber, growth P-type GaN under all identical condition of all the other conditions then, and carried out the SIMS test.The result shows, gas pipeline and gas mixing chamber do not carried out the sample of heat growth, and the concentration of Mg is less than 1 * 10
17Cm
-3(almost do not mix, CP is described
2Mg almost is not transported to reaction chamber), and gas pipeline and gas mixing chamber are heated to the sample of 80 ℃ of growths, the concentration of Mg has reached 1 * 10
19Cm
-3(suitable) with the result of type of production MOCVD growth.Experiment proof: gas pipeline and gas mixing chamber heating have been solved CP with getting instant result
2The problem that Mg transports.
Therefore; The present invention has can mix reactant gases, feed then reaction chamber in advance, guarantee the normal advantage of carrying of gas; The present invention mixes under the sufficient prerequisite at gas, has avoided the pre-reaction of inter gas, can improve source utilization ratio and crystal mass.
