Description

A kind of for improving the preparation method of patterned substrate of epitaxial quality
Technical field
The invention belongs to the preparing technical field of LED backing material, relate generally to a kind of preparation method of patterned substrate.
Background technology
GaN semiconductor is because its application in high efficiency solid state lighting has been subject to the extensive concern of industry.GaN normally forms by MOCVD technology growth in foreign substrate.Due to Al 2o 3have larger lattice mismatch with GaN, conventional solution is first at Al 2o 3grown one deck low temperature GaN resilient coating, by continued growth high temperature GaN epitaxial loayer again after high annealing, thereby reduces the not matching degree between lattice.Therefore, Al 2o 3still become the best substrate of current growing GaN.
The GaN crystal mass of low temperature buffer layer has determined the crystal mass of high temperature epitaxy layer subsequently to a great extent; In order to obtain better epitaxial quality, conventionally can pass through wet etching or dry etching means at Al 2o 3substrate surface is prepared micron order or nano level 3-D graphic array, thereby improves epitaxial loayer crystal mass, improves light extraction efficiency, this graphical Al simultaneously 2o 3substrate has been widely used in GaN base LED and has produced.As shown in Figure 1, traditional graphical Al 2o 3substrate preparation flow, adopts the techniques such as even glue, exposure, development and ICP, can prepare the graphical Al with given shape, size 2o 3substrate.
But, still there is all challenges in preparation PSS stage and growing epitaxial stage: due to Al 2o 3material hardness is high, and chemical stability is good, no matter be therefore wet etching or dry etching, graphical process is all very difficult; In addition, GaN extension ratio on PSS substrate is more difficult in smooth substrates superficial growth, and initial low temperature GaN resilient coating only can be in the planar section growth of PSS substrate, but not whole surface, grown after GaN resilient coating and also needed a step high-temperature annealing process could eliminate dislocation, therefore epitaxial growth window is very narrow.
The present invention is directed to above problem and propose a kind of New Graphics substrate preparation process: at the long Al that has AlN inculating crystal layer 2o 3on substrate, prepare patterned Si0 2.This technology can significantly be simplified dry etching and prepare graphical Al 2o 3substrate, provides wider epitaxial growth window, and rework operation is simple, cost is low, has met the needs of current large-scale production.
Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes a kind of length has AlN inculating crystal layer to form graphical Si0 2substrat structure and preparation method thereof, while making GaN growth by heteroepitaxy on the one hand, produce cross growth, provide good of heap of stone brilliant basis by AlN inculating crystal layer for GaN epitaxial growth on the other hand, thereby reduce defect, improve epitaxial crystal quality.
The preparation method of this patterned substrate, mainly comprises the following steps:
1) Al after polishing 2o 3substrate surface uses magnetron sputtering means deposition one deck AlN film, as the inculating crystal layer of follow-up GaN growth;
2) on AlN thin layer, adopt PECVD technology growth one deck Si0 2film;
3) at Si0 2on film, spin coating one deck positive photoresist (PR), exposes to it by stepper, obtains column type photoresist mask after development;
4) to Si0 2film carries out wet etching, and corrosion rate is controlled between 200-300nm/min, Si0 2the film formation graphic array that is corroded under the protection of photoresist mask, until corrosion location exposes AlN top layer;
5) divest photoresist, finally obtain thering is Si0 on AlN inculating crystal layer 2the Al of graphic array 2o 3substrate;
6) direct growth GaN epitaxial loayer after cleaning print.
Based on such scheme, the present invention also further does following optimization and limits and improve:
Step 1) thickness of depositing Al N film is 20-100nm, step 2) growth Si0 2the thickness of film is 1.0-2.0 μ m.
Step 2) thickness of spin coating positive photoresist is 1.5-3.0 μ m; After development, obtain column type photoresist mask, footpath, the end is 1.0-5.0 μ m, and figure spacing is 0.3-2.0 μ m.
Step 4) to carry out the main component with buffer oxide etching liquid (BOE) that wet etching adopts be HF and NH 4f, both proportionings (volume ratio) HF:NH 4f=1:6.
Step 5) to divest the stripper that photoresist adopts be sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide mixed solution (SPM), both proportionings (volume ratio) H 2sO 4(mass fraction concentration 98%): H 2o 2(mass fraction concentration 30%) is 3:1-4:1.
This graphical Al of the present invention 2o 3substrat structure, is characterized in: at Al 2o 3substrate surface is coated with one deck AlN film, as the inculating crystal layer of follow-up GaN growth; The graphical Si0 that grows and form through wet etching in described seed crystal surface 2array.
The thickness of above-mentioned AlN film is 20-100nm, Si0 2the thickness of film is 1.0-2.0 μ m; Described graphical Si0 2the surface of film is graphic array, and at the bottom of figure, footpath is 1.0-5.0 μ m, and graphic element spacing is 0.3-2.0 μ m.
Further optimize, the thickness of above-mentioned AlN film is 30nm, Si0 2the thickness of film is 1.5 μ m; At the bottom of figure, footpath is 2 μ m, and graphic element spacing is 1 μ m.
The present invention can make the crystal mass of GaN material increase substantially, and growth window increases.Use the present invention to prepare graphical SiO 2substrate growing GaN extension, (102) (002) crystal face halfwidth all can be reduced to below 300arcses, and the smooth zero defect of epi-layer surface.Specifically there is following beneficial effect:
1. obtain graphical Si0 2than obtaining, graphic sapphire operation is easier, can be cost-saving.
2. can freely adjust graphical Si0 according to the pattern of photoresist mask 2pattern, easy and simple to handle.
3. in epitaxial process, due to Si0 2larger with GaN lattice mismatch, therefore GaN only can grow on exposed AlN inculating crystal layer, and the unmatched Si0 of lattice 2hinder GaN in its superficial growth, when extension continues, the GaN meeting cross growth on AlN seed crystal is by Si0 2figure overrides.This structure has increased the probability of horizontal extension, finally obtains a smooth epitaxial surface, has improved epitaxial crystal quality, has expanded growth window.
4. due to Al 2o 3hardness is high, stable chemical nature, therefore the graphical Al of traditional scheme 2o 3substrate do over again difficulty in process and cost higher, and the graphical Si0 of the present invention 2just can do over again with BOE solution corrosion, simple to operate, cost is low.
