Description

A kind of method of preparing gallium nitride monocrystal substrate by precrack
Technical field
The present invention relates to photoelectric material and devices field, be specifically related to a kind of method of preparing gallium nitride monocrystal substrate by precrack.
Background technology
Gallium nitride GaN base III/V group-III nitride is the semiconductor material with wide forbidden band of important direct band gap, and semiconductor devices under blue, green, purple, ultraviolet light and the opto-electronic device such as white light emitting diode LED, short wavelength laser diode LD, ultraviolet light detector and power electronic device and electronic device and specific condition etc. has wide practical use in field.
Due to high melting temperature and higher nitrogen saturated vapour pressure, make to prepare large area GaN monocrystalline very difficult, the heteroepitaxial growth GaN base device on the substrate such as sapphire or carborundum of large mismatch of having to. Although this heterogeneous epitaxial technology based on cushion technology has been obtained huge success, but this method can not be given full play to the superior performance of GaN base semiconductor material, its subject matter is: owing to having larger lattice mismatch and thermal stress mismatch between GaN and sapphire, cause thus 10 1.9cm-2Misfit dislocation, have a strong impact on crystal mass, reduce the luminous efficiency of LED; 2. sapphire is insulator, and under normal temperature, resistivity is greater than 1011Ω cm, so just cannot make the device of vertical stratification, conventionally can only make N-type and P type electrode at epitaxial layer upper surface, therefore make efficient lighting area reduce, and has increased photoetching and etching process in device preparation simultaneously, and the utilization rate of material is reduced; 3. sapphire heat conductivility is bad, is about 0.25W/cmK 100 DEG C of thermal conductivities, and this performance impact for GaN base device is very large, and particularly, in large area high power device, heat dissipation problem is very outstanding; 4. in the making of GaN base laser, because sapphire hardness is very high, and between sapphire lattice and GaN lattice, there is the angle of one 30 degree, so be difficult to obtain the cleavage surface of GaN base LD epitaxial layer, the chamber face that also just can not obtain by the method for cleavage GaN base LD, therefore GaN single crystalline substrate also has particular importance meaning for the making of GaN base laser. Based on above reason, further improve and development of new GaN base semiconductor laser, high-power and high-luminance LED, High-Power Microwave device etc. for semiconductor lighting, its only way which must be passed is the GaN monocrystalline homo-substrate material of use fabricating low-defect-density and controllable optical, electrology characteristic.
The method of growing GaN single crystalline substrate comprises the methods such as high temperature and high pressure method, the hot method of ammonia, sodium flux growth metrhod and hydride vapour deposition (Hydridevapor~phaseepitaxy) HVPE at present. First three methods, high temperature and high pressure method, the hot method of ammonia and sodium flux method, or need high-temperature high-pressure apparatus, or need sodium potassium isoreactivity molten mass, dangerous large, research unit is few. All can only obtain 10 millimeters of magnitude crystal in beginning time more than ten years, substantially can not use as substrate, be mainly used for the research of material fundamental property. HVPE growing technology is due to advantages such as its equipment is relatively simple, cost is low, fast growths, and even, large scale GaN/Al can grow2O3Thick film compound substrate. Then, removing the foreign substrate such as sapphire by methods such as laser lift-offs, can obtain Free-standing GaN single crystalline substrate, is the main flow technology of preparing of current GaN single crystalline substrate.
HVPE prepares GaN single crystalline substrate, and the main problem facing is how GaN single-crystal thick films to be separated with foreign substrate such as sapphires. For separating of GaN single-crystal thick films and substrate, mainly contain: the method for laser lift-off (laserlift-off), use LASER HEATING Sapphire Substrate and GaN single-crystal thick films interface, GaN single-crystal thick films is separated; The method of sacrificial substrate (SacrificialSubstrate), main thought is the substrate that can remove by the method for chemical attack or etching by using, as metal, GaAs or Si substrate, obtains Free-standing GaN single crystalline substrate; Self-separation technology (self-separation), main thought is by various cushions, insert layer or nano graph layer, regulate and make stress concentrate on these insert layer places in conjunction with growth conditions, make spontaneous the stripping down from Sapphire Substrate of GaN single-crystal thick films at temperature-fall period. But all there is equipment complexity in these methods, separation difficulty, the shortcoming such as GaN single-crystal thick films is easily broken, and yield rate is low, makes holding at high price of GaN single crystalline substrate.
