Abstract
本发明描述了生长氮化铟(InN)材料的方法,其通过在低于300℃的温度下使用脉冲生长方法生长六方和/或立方InN。还描述了一种材料,其包含具有NaCl型晶相的面心立方晶格晶体结构的InN。
Description
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求2012年6月18日提交的第61/661,016号美国临时申请的权益。
背景
在III族氮化物半导体中,氮化铟(InN)的直接带隙最小,电子饱和速度和迁移率最大,并且电子有效质量最小。长期以来,其已是用于光学、电学和光电设备技术如太阳能电池以及高电子迁移率和高频设备的有吸引力的材料。InN的热力学最稳定相是纤锌矿结构(六方相),然而,在450℃下通过等离子体辅助分子束外延(MBE)已证明闪锌矿(立方相)InN在InAs/GaAs上的生长。立方InN具有更小的带隙和优良的电子性质,因为其晶格是各向同性的且具有较低的声子散射。
简要概述
在一个实施方案中,生长氮化铟(InN)材料的方法包括在低于300℃的温度下使用脉冲生长方法生长六方和/或立方InN。
附图简要说明
图1示出三甲基铟(TMI)脉冲为0.06秒时生长率(GR)和In/N比的变化。
图2描述了源自三个样品,即Tg=183℃的GaN/Al2O3模板上(顶层)以及Tg=240℃(中间)和183℃(底层)的a-平面A12O3上的InN(60nm)的x-射线衍射(XRD)峰。
图3示出面心立方(fcc)InN晶相可能的结构的示意图以及其如何对齐至a-平面蓝宝石单位晶格。
图4描述了在由x射线光电子光谱测定的x的全部范围中AlxIn1-xN中Al含量随AlN/InN循环比的变化。AlN和InN层按权利要求1-5中所声明的生长。InN首先在GaN上生长,然后在AlN上生长。使InN和AlN的层数变化,以获得所需的Al含量浓度。
详细说明
定义
在详细描述本发明之前,应理解说明书中使用的术语是用于描述具体实施方案的目的,并不用于限制。尽管在本发明的实践中可以使用与本文描述的类似的、改良的或等同的许多方法、结构和材料而无需过度的实验,但本文还描述了优选的方法、结构和材料。在本发明的描述和权利要求中,将根据下面列出的定义使用以下术语。
本文中使用的“低温”指低于300℃的温度,且如另有特别说明,还可指更低的温度如低于280℃、低于260℃、低于240℃、低于220℃、低于200℃、低于180℃等。
铟前体包括三甲基铟(TMI)和本领域中已知的其它铟前体。
铝前体包括三甲基铝(TMA)和本领域中已知的其它铝前体。
除非上下文另外明确指明,本说明书和所附的权利要求中所用的单数形式“一个/种(a/an)”和“该(the)”,不排除复数指示物(plural referent)。
本文中使用的术语“和/或(and/or)”包括有关的列出项中的任意一种或一种或多种的所有组合。
本文中使用的术语“约(about)”当与规定的数值或范围共同使用时,指比所规定的数值或范围稍多一些或稍少一些,即在所规定的数值或范围的±10%的范围内。
说明
使用剑桥纳米技术(CNT)Fiji 200原子层沉积/外延(ALE)系统在a-平面蓝宝石、半绝缘Si(111)和GaN/蓝宝石模板上同时生长InN层。使用蓝宝石基板以确保清楚地表征绝缘体上ALE InN层的电运输性质。在任何其它表面预处理之前,晶片已用溶剂清洗,并用去离子(DI)水冲洗。用HF、HF和15%HC1、以及溶剂分别对Si(111)、GaN/蓝宝石和蓝宝石表面进行预处理。在超高纯(UHP)氩(Ar)环境中进行生长。在非原位表面预处理之后,InN生长之前,于300瓦特用50sccm N2等离子体处理基板。使用约150-1100个ALE沉积循环(见下文)以同时在不同基板上合成InN膜。本段中给出的参数值是例值,也可用其它值。
图1示出三甲基铟(TMI)脉冲为0.06秒时生长率(GR)和In/N比的变化。随着温度从160℃升至183℃,GR从降至对于小温度窗,GR保持恒定,并于220℃再次降低至对于220-260℃之间的Tg,GR保持恒定。220-260℃之间的温度范围是第二原子层外延(ALE)窗。在第一低温ALE窗中,InN生长是富N的(In/N<1),而对于高温ALE窗,其是富In的(In/N>1)。已测定MBE生长的InN的In/N比为2.8±0.7(参见Piper et al.,J.Vac.Sci.Technol.A 23,617(2005))。因此,ALE InN具有较好的化学计量组成。
图2描述了三个样品,即Tg=183℃时GaN/Al2O3模板上(顶层)以及Tg=240℃(中间)和183℃(底层)时a-平面A12O3上的InN(60nm)的XRD峰。在底图中,有能指示具有指数(200)和(400)的面心立方(FCC)结构或具有指数(index)(110)和(220)的CsCl结构的一组峰。还测定了以透射以及掠入射反射模式的该样品的24小时长劳厄衍射(LD)图案。在两种模式中都观察到劳厄斑,说明该样品具有外延性,没有粉末/多晶性。这也由底图中的已解析到(resolved)Kα1和Kα2组分的二阶峰(插图)证实。通过15求和扫描获得所述峰以增强信号。一阶和二阶峰的FWHM值分别是494和371弧秒(arc-sec)。所述一阶峰是两个Kα组分的卷积(convolution)。为了证实所述结构,检验三阶峰,所述三阶峰是不可测得的,因为其发生在高得多的角度,而样品只有60nm厚。同样,头两个峰的d-间距与ICDD数据库中的任何InN晶相都不匹配。该结果表明183℃下蓝宝石上的InN具有高度定向的外延结构。所述数据的进一步分析揭示第一峰的d-间距与已报道的国际衍射数据中心(ICDD)数据库中的任何已知的InN晶相都不匹配,而是与之前未报道过的面心立方(FCC)结构对应。如Cryst.Growth Des.2013,13,1485-1490所描述的,通过电子显微镜印证了该XRD数据,所述文献通过引用并入本文。
图3示出面心立方(fcc)InN晶相单位晶格与a-平面蓝宝石基板单位晶格对齐的示意图。由所测定的假设为FCC结构的InN膜的晶格参数,我们看到其仅仅与蓝宝石的面内c-向有2.8%失配,与面内m-向有18.9%失配。这进一步说明其是a-平面蓝宝石上生长的InN膜的最可能的相。
以前报道(参见引用文献21)已有于450℃下通过等离子体辅助分子束外延(MBE)在InAs/GaAs上生长立方InN,但是已证明所述InN具有ZnS(闪锌矿)晶相而不是本文中获得的NaCl型晶相。
表1总结了要合成各种材料的不同参数及其值。每个ALE循环首先由加到恒定的30和100sccm UHP氩载气流中的60ms三甲基铟(TMI)脉冲(经验上认为是自限型ALE生长模式,较长脉冲并不提供显著更好的生长)组成。每次TMI脉冲之后,主泵浦阀关闭5秒,从而能用In原子饱和该表面。使用20秒长300瓦特N2等离子体暴露以向铟饱和的表面提供氮前体。要除去未反应的前体,每次脉冲后用UHP氩将沉积室吹扫(purge)10秒。电阻式加热反应器卡盘,并使用热电偶,通过CNT用高温计校准温度。给定的参数值是例值。可以用其它值。
对于AlInN的ALE生长,以数字化合金(digital alloy)的方式逐层生长InN和AlN层。为生长Al0.90In0.10N,交替地生长AlN和InN。对于每两个InN循环一层A1N,生成Al0.79In0.21N。对于每三个InN循环一层AlN,生成Al0.68In0.32N。因此,通过改变InN和AlN层数组合,可以由原子层外延获得广范围的x的AlxIn1-xN膜。这样,在整个所需化学计量学范围中实现AlInN三元合金,这被认为是首次完成的。给定的参数值是例值。可以用其它值。
