Fig. 5 shows the preparation method of a kind of AlN template that fourth embodiment of the invention provides, and is applicable to the AlN template that in the first to the 3rd embodiment, any embodiment provides.As shown in Figure 5, the method comprises the steps.
Step 501, provide substrate.
This substrate can be Si, SiC, sapphire, ZnO, GaAs, GaP, MgO, Cu and W substrate.Preferably, this substrate is Sapphire Substrate.
Step 502, at deposited on substrates AlN film.
Wherein, AlN film is included in an AlN layer of deposited on substrates, is mixed with oxygen in an AlN layer, and from an AlN layer and substrate interface to the direction on the surface of an AlN layer, the content of the oxygen in an AlN layer increases gradually.
To adopt PVD technique depositing Al N thin film over the substrate 10, introduce the deposition process of AlN film, this deposition process comprises step 5021 and step 5022.
Step 5021, by substrate arrangement in vacuum environment, and substrate to be toasted; Baking time is 1 ~ 15 minute, and baking temperature is 300 ~ 900 degrees Celsius, and baking pressure is less than 10 -7torr.
Particularly, first, substrate is positioned on the pallet of SiC material, and pallet is put into PVD sputtering machine table, and be sent to board deposition chambers.Secondly, after substrate is put into, deposition chambers is vacuumized, start while vacuumizing to carry out heat temperature raising to substrate.Base vacuum is evacuated to lower than 10 -7during Torr, heating-up temperature is stabilized in 300 ~ 900 degrees Celsius, toasts substrate, baking time is 1 ~ 15 minute.
Step 5022, complete baking after, be mixed with Ar, N 2and O 2atmosphere or be mixed with Ar, N 2with under the atmosphere of oxygen-containing gas, Al target is sputtered, with at deposited on substrates AlN film; Meanwhile, in deposition process, increase O gradually 2or the flow of oxygen-containing gas; Depositing temperature is 400 ~ 800 degrees Celsius, and deposition pressure is 1 ~ 10mTorr, and sputtering power is 1KW ~ 10KW, and sputtering duration is 10 seconds ~ 1000 seconds.
Wherein, this sputtering duration is the sedimentation time of AlN film.Sputtering power and sputtering duration affect the thickness of AlN film, and when sputtering power is 1KW ~ 10KW, when sputtering duration is 10 seconds ~ 1000 seconds, the thickness of AlN film is 1 ~ 1000nm.
Particularly, after completing baking, pass into Ar, N 2and O 2(O 2can be substituted by oxygen-containing gas).Wherein, Ar:N 2flow-rate ratio can be 1:3 ~ 1:10, the O that initial time passes into 2flow can be Ar and N 2both flows and 0.1%, 0.2% or 0.5%.In deposition process, Ar, N 2and O 2it is good that PVD deposition chambers pressure is maintained 1 ~ 10mTorr by the total gas couette of three.Meanwhile, substrate heating temperature is set to depositing temperature, good deposition temperature range is between 400 ~ 800 degrees Celsius.After depositing temperature is stablized 10 ~ 60 seconds, open shielding power supply, Al target is sputtered, now will be mixed with the AlN crystalline membrane of oxygen at deposited on substrates.Wherein, sputtering power can be set as 1KW ~ 10KW depending on the requirement of deposition rate, and sputtering duration is 10 seconds ~ 1000 seconds depending on the different set of AlN crystalline membrane thickness.Meanwhile, in the deposition process of AlN crystalline membrane, increase the O passed into gradually 2flow.The O passed into 2the mode that increases of flow can be increase continuously, such as linear increment, like this, the content of the oxygen in the AlN film of deposition is continually varying.This increases mode also can be that interval is increased, and such as ladder increases progressively, and like this, the AlN film of deposition is stepped construction, and the content of oxygen in AlN film is interval variation.This increases mode can also be to increase continuously and interval is increased to combine and increased, such as first linear increment again ladder increase progressively.
Suppose that the content of the oxygen in the AlN film deposited increases progressively from substrate/AlN film interface to the direction ladder on the surface of AlN film, so, when depositing Al N thin film, 5 ~ 10 layer growths can be divided by AlN film, in every layer, oxygen is uniformly distributed, the content successively gradual change of the oxygen in 5 ~ 10 layers.Comprise 6 AlN sublayers for AlN film, when depositing Al N thin film, the sputtering power that can set Al target is 3KW; 1st AlN sublayer is to the 6th AlN sublayer, and the deposition duration of each AlN sublayer is 10 seconds, and the deposit thickness of each like this AlN sublayer is about 4nm.Further, the O passed into during growth regulation 1 AlN sublayer 2flow is Ar, N 2flow and 0.5%, the oxygen flow passed into during growth the 2 to 6 AlN sublayer is thereafter adjusted to Ar and N successively 2flow and 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%.So just having prepared gross thickness is that 24nm is thick, divides 6 layers of AlN template of carrying out oxygen doping amount layering gradual change.
Suppose the AlN film deposited be in the content of oxygen increase progressively from substrate/AlN film interface to the dimension linear on the surface of AlN film, so, when depositing Al N thin film, linearly can increase the flow of oxygen or the oxygen-containing gas passed into.Such as, in the deposition process of AlN crystalline membrane, the sputtering power that can set Al target is 2KW, and sputtering duration is 100 seconds, and now the thickness of AlN crystalline membrane is about 25nm.Meanwhile, in these 100 seconds, by O 2flow is by Ar and N 2both flows and 10% linear increment to Ar and N 2both flows and 12%.
Optionally, AlN film is also included in the 2nd AlN layer that an AlN layer deposits, and is mixed with oxygen in the 2nd AlN layer, and the oxygen in the 2nd AlN layer is equally distributed; And from an AlN layer to the 2nd AlN layer, the content of oxygen increases gradually; The thickness of the 2nd AlN layer is greater than 1nm.Then, this deposition process also comprises step 5023.
