Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of monocrystal of gallium phosphide growth method, adopt this method can control crystal diameter preferably, the crystal boundary diameter is even, can improve working (machining) efficiency and higher yield rate is arranged.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has adopted following technical scheme:
High-pressure liquid encapsulation pulling method, 1~3 inch monocrystal of gallium phosphide of can growing are adopted in this monocrystal of gallium phosphide growth.
Single crystal diameter control uses the pontoon material to be silicon nitride (Si
3N
4), the pontoon internal diameter is φ 20~80mm.
The growth method of this monocrystal of gallium phosphide, it may further comprise the steps: get the raw materials ready, shove charge vacuumizes, inflates; Temperature increasing for melting materials, seed crystal welding, seeding, shouldering, float needle one takes off, and float needle two takes off; Diameter control, ending in procedure for preparation, is placed with gallium phosphide polycrystal, pontoon, doping agent and boron oxide in the crucible; Described pontoon material is a silicon nitride, the internal diameter φ 20~80mm of pontoon, and the pressure-controlling behind the burner hearth inflated with nitrogen is in 1.0~5.0MPa (absolute pressure.
In the described temperature increasing for melting materials operation, rotate seed rod with 1-30 rev/min speed, with 5-50 rev/min speed counter-rotation crucible pole; The seeding operation is the cooling seeding, and rate of temperature fall is controlled at 0.03~2.0 ℃/min, when the solid phase of seeing solid-liquid interface is grown up, begins to lift, and pull rate is controlled at 1~15mm/h.
Differential weight shows that increasing crucible when 0.1~1.5g/min is above rises progressively to 0.2~1.8mm/hr, along with the crystalline adjustment temperature of growing up is controlled the pontoon rotating speed, so that the pontoon rotating speed is at the uniform velocity slack-off, reaches the purpose of controlling the crystalline speed of growth,
When the pontoon rotating speed reaches 2.0~5.0 seconds/stable earlier temperature once when changeing, accomplish run-bake-needle fault for the first time; Control pontoon rotating speed reaches 2.5~6.0 seconds/more than changeing, accomplishes run-bake-needle fault for the second time.
In the diameter control operation, steadily control the pontoon rotating speed 2.5~6.0 seconds/change with the control crystal diameter, when boat changes cooling when accelerating, heat up when boat changes when slowing down, temperature rate is controlled at 0.03~3.0 ℃/min.
Before crystal growth finishes, heat up, make the pontoon rotating speed reach 2.0~4.0 seconds/commentaries on classics, crucible changes, the crucible liter when time at the bottom of the pontoon contact crucible stops, and begins to fall the crucible position of crucible when getting back to seeding.
The present invention has following characteristics:
1. because the present invention adopts pontoon control crystal diameter; Pontoon density is between boron oxide and gallium phosphide; Can float on the gallium phosphide melt face; Temperature variation causes that the interior solid-liquid interface of pontoon rises or decline is less to diameter influences, therefore can better control crystal diameter through control pontoon rotating speed, grows 1~3 inch monocrystal of gallium phosphide.
2. because the present invention adopts suitable pulling rate, crucible raising speed rate and rate of temperature fall in technological process, help single crystal growing, reduce dislocation desity, improve the monocrystalline yield rate.
Monocrystal of gallium phosphide growth method of the present invention adopts pontoon control crystal diameter, 1~3 inch monocrystal of gallium phosphide of growing preferably.In the crystal pulling process, adopt suitable process method, help improving the monocrystalline yield rate.The crystal boundary diameter is even, and this handicraft product quality is reached advanced world standards in addition, and the monocrystalline crystalline quality is higher, and electrical parameter such as mobility index can be stablized and reach 130~140cm
