Abstract

The invention discloses a Raman characterization method of corrosion stress of an alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film. The Raman characterization method comprises the following steps of 1, cleaning the surface of an alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film, 2, carrying out a Raman scattering test on the alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film to obtain a frequency shift value of an uncorroded E2 phonon mode, 3, carrying out a KOH solution corrosion test and decontamination treatment on the alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film, and carrying out a Raman scattering test on the corroded alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film to obtain a frequency shift value of a corroded E2 phonon mode, and 4, according to an offset delta E2 which is the difference of the frequency shift value of the corroded E2 phonon mode of the alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film and the frequency shift value of the uncorroded E2 phonon mode of the alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film, calculating corrosion stress of the alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film by a formula of sigma xx=delta E2/k, wherein k is a constant. Through adopting two Raman scattering tests on an alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film before and after the corrosion, the Raman characterization method eliminates the influence from a substrate on alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film stress, wherein when a conventional Raman characterization method is adopted, the influence exists. Through the Raman characterization method, calculated corrosion stress of an alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer film has a small error. Therefore, the Raman characterization method can be utilized for characterization of corrosion stress of alpha surface GaN epitaxial layer films having different structures.

Description

The Raman characterization method of a face GaN epitaxial loayer thin film corrosive stress
Technical field
The invention belongs to microelectronics technology, relate to corrosion and the characterizing method of semiconductor material, specifically a kind of Raman characterization method of thin film corrosive stress.
Background technology
The Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technology based on silicon materials take integrated circuit as sign has brought up modern information society.It is generally acknowledged, the manufacturing limit of silicon materials is 10nm live widths.Be subjected to the restriction of physical principle, just unlikely produce stable performance, high frequency, high speed and powerful photoelectric device that integrated level is higher less than 10nm.Therefore, current technical progress on silicon materials will seem more and more difficult, and people place hope on third generation semiconductor material, i.e. the electronic behavior of III-V group-III nitride and alloy material thereof.That cause at first that people pay close attention to is the GaN of wurtzite structure, and it has high electron mobility, and high thermal conductivity and good current capacity etc. are well suited for and make power device, photoelectric device, HEMT, LED and LD.But owing to being difficult to produce large-sized monocrystalline, make people can only use MOCVD, on the substrate of some stable performances, these substrates generally have the methods such as MBE and ELOG with the GaN film growth, sapphire, SiC, ZnO, LiAlO 2Deng.People wish that it can replace silicon, provide the current information era development desired high speed, and high frequency and powerful demand overcome the more and more less dimension limit effect that runs into of present electron device.
The GaN of wurtzite structure is a kind of of close-packed hexagonal structure, the characteristics of this structure, make in the nitride material of wurtzite structure and exist very large spontaneous polarization effect and piezoelectric polarization effect, these effects are useful to power device, it can in the situation that the heterojunction boundary place that makes different materials of need not adulterating forms highdensity 2DEG, make device with high electron mobility become possibility.In addition, according to the quantum well devices that the GaN of wurtzite structure makes, its light emitting region has comprised the frequency range of blue light, makes the general lighting pattern that subversive change occur.Particularly at the r face, namely
Figure BDA0000094839060000011
The nonpolar a face of the Grown on Sapphire Substrates of face
Figure BDA0000094839060000012
Material can be eliminated the red shift of wavelength that occurs because of quantum confinement Stark effect.But the dislocation desity in nonpolar a face GaN is very high, for example, adopts the material of mocvd method growth, and line dislocation density has reached 3 * 10 10/ cm 2, and the density of stacking fault has reached 3.5 * 10 5/ cm 2
The reason that causes a face GaN material to have highdensity dislocation like this and defective mainly contains two: the one, lack the backing material that is complementary with the GaN lattice parameter; The 2nd, the lattice mismatch between backing material and epitaxial loayer film and thermal mismatching and the stress that causes.Fig. 1 is the Lattice Matching schematic diagram of a face GaN epitaxial loayer film and r surface sapphire substrate, as can be seen from Figure 1, the a face GaN epitaxial loayer film of growing on the r surface sapphire substrate, the lattice mismatch that causes due to the size of lattice parameter separately, the dislocation that tends to form and larger stress, thereby affect the crystalline quality of a face GaN epitaxial loayer film, and then have influence on the luminescent properties of material.
Although people generally use horizontal outgrowth (ELOG) method can reduce greatly dislocation and the defective of GaN film now, but the stress that causes because of lattice mismatch and thermal mismatching is to produce the main cause that the GaN membraneous material has highdensity dislocation like this and defective, it is the key factor of GaN epitaxial loayer crystalline quality, emission wavelength and the luminescence efficiency of GaN based quantum well have directly been affected, therefore, the sign for the epitaxial loayer membrane stress just seems particularly important.
Although GaN membraneous material, heterojunction and quantum well devices thereof all have the stronger stronger resistance to corrosions such as antiacid alkali resistant, theoretical according to elastic stress, the size of stress can accelerated corrosion speed, reduce reliability and the service life of materials and devices, the corrosion stress that discharges therefrom can compare acquisition by the frequency displacement with the front Raman scattering of corrosion.The method of measuring at present membrane stress is a lot, mainly contain the Raman method, x-ray diffraction method, double crystal diffraction method and laser interferance method etc., these methods all need by the counting lattice parameter, with the lattice parameter of body material, namely theoretical lattice parameter compares, and calculates the strain parameter of epitaxial loayer film, then theoretical according to elastic strain, obtain the stress state of epitaxial loayer film, means are comparatively complicated, and the error that produces therefrom is also larger; And conventional Raman characterizes the method for stress, because single just utilizes the skew at Raman phonon peak, can't eliminate the skew at the phonon peak that brings out because of backing material, and extension layer film stress is produced larger error.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to avoid above-mentioned the deficiencies in the prior art, a kind of Raman characterization method of a face GaN epitaxial loayer thin film corrosive stress is proposed, by the relative size to Raman scattering peak frequency displacement before and after thin film corrosive, eliminate because of and backing material between the skew at the stress phonon peak that brings out, the sign of realization to extension layer film corrosion stress.
