High-melting-point and high dissociation pressure due to GaN, GaN bulk growths are extremely difficult, at present still can not be in industry Middle acquisition GaN circular wafers, therefore the preparation of GaN semiconductor devices depends on heterogeneous wafer substrate epitaxial growing film at present Method carry out.But usually cause heterogeneous there are bigger lattice mismatch and thermal mismatching between GaN material and foreign substrate Often there is very high dislocation density, these dislocations strongly limit GaN base electronic device in the GaN film material that extension obtains Performance and quality.
At present, commercialized GaN base device is substantially heteroepitaxial growth, and substrate used mainly has sapphire (Al2O3), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon (Si) etc., the problem of the following aspects is primarily present using foreign substrate growth GaN:
(1) mismatch problems between the coefficient of thermal expansion between GaN material and substrate.If the heat of GaN epitaxy film and substrate is swollen Swollen coefficient has big difference, and cracking is easily generated in thin film growth process, but also can reduce the reliability of GaN base device, special It is other for high power device, because junction temperature is higher when device works, coefficient of thermal expansion difference is easy to that different zones is caused to dissipate greatly Heat is uneven, causes the damage of device.
(2) lattice mismatch issue between GaN material and substrate.Larger lattice mismatch can be in extension between epitaxial layer and substrate Larger residual stress is generated in layer, occurs a large amount of lattice defects in the film, causes film crystal of poor quality, and then influences device Part performance.
(3) when hetero-epitaxy gives birth to GaN film, usually since the factors such as stress generate warpage, it is unfavorable for large area film Preparation.
In addition, when preparing GaN base LED component, in order to enhance device light extraction efficiency, it is necessary to portion or external system in the chip The scattering center of light is made, weakens total reflection of the light in interface, matte usually is carried out to chip surface, substrate.But GaN materials Expect that chemical stability is very high, wet-method etching difficulty is big, and the cost of manufacture for leading to GaN base LED component is also higher.
Si substrates compared with sapphire, SiC substrate there is cheap, large size single crystal to be easy to get (6 inches, 8 English Very little, 12 inch substrates have commercial offers) advantage, and the electrical and thermal conductivity of Si is good, and epitaxial growth is in the future on Si substrates The important channel that realization GaN single crystal film is cheap, prepared by large area, and Si Grown GaN films are expected to realize Photoelectron and microelectronics it is integrated.But the lattice mismatch of Si substrates and GaN be up to 20% and thermal mismatching be up to 34% (Si heat be swollen Swollen coefficient:3.59×10-6/ DEG C, GaN coefficient of thermal expansion:5.45×10-6/℃;Si lattice constantsGaN lattice constants), the GaN film for growing high quality is extremely difficult, easily generates high dislocation density, film warpage, cracking etc. and asks Topic.In addition, Ga metals have the problem of melt back corrosion to Si substrates, cause epitaxial growth control condition harsh.

The present invention provides a kind of GaN layer transfer monocrystal thin films preparation method based on silicon foreign substrate, the preparation method Including at least following steps:
Step 1 is first carried out, as shown in Figure 1 to 4, provides a silicon substrate 101, etches the silicon substrate 101 and forms silicon Column array 103.
As an example, as shown in Figure 1, the silicon substrate 101 selects monocrystalline silicon (111) crystal face substrate.
In the step, the process for forming silicon column array 103 is:
1-1) mask is formed in 101 surface of silicon substrate;
1-2), as shown in figures 2 a and 2b, the mask is patterned using uv-exposure photoetching process, forms periodical column Array mask 102;Wherein, Fig. 2 a are vertical view, and Fig. 2 b are side view.
1-3), it as shown in figure 3, using inductively coupled plasma dry etch process, is formed on the silicon substrate 101 Periodic silicon column array 103;
1-4), as shown in figure 4, the removal periodical columnar arrays mask 102.For example, institute is removed using acetone solution State mask 102.
As an example, for the ease of obtaining continuous GaN film layer, between the silicon column of the silicon column array 103, distance is not Preferably more than 10 μm, otherwise follow-up discrete seed crystal needs long-time lateral growth that can just be merged into continuous GaN single crystal film.
As an example, the silicon column end face diameter of the silicon column array 103 is not less than the 50% of 103 length of silicon column array It is advisable, to ensure that the silicon column there are enough mechanical strengths, convenient for the mechanical stripping transfer of the follow-up GaN film layer and lining Bottom is cleaned.
As an example, the surface area that the surface area of the silicon column array 103 accounts for the silicon substrate is advisable no more than 5%, with Realize that Seed crystal substrate heteroepitaxial growth reaches quasi- homo-substrate effect.
In the present embodiment, 2 μm of the diameter selected as of the silicon column, 4 μm of height, the spacing between silicon column is 10 μm.
Secondly step 2 is performed, as shown in figure 5, forming barrier layer in the silicon substrate 101 and 103 surface of silicon column array 104。
As an example, SiO is formed in the silicon substrate 101 and 103 surface of silicon column array using thermal oxidation technology2As The follow-up barrier layer 104 for realizing GaN selective epitaxial growths.
For example, can SiO be formed by dry oxygen thermal oxide2Barrier layer 104, thickness control is in 300nm.Subsequent growth GaN Film layer, no matter using the metallorganic (such as common trimethyl gallium) of gallium or halide (such as the GaCl of gallium3) be Gallium source can use SiO2For mask blocks layer 104, regioselectivity epitaxial growth is realized.
Then step 3 is performed, as shown in fig. 6, removing the barrier layer 104 at 103 top of silicon column array, is exposed Seed crystal 105 of 103 top of silicon column array as subsequent growth.
As an example, barrier layer (the SiO using 103 top of selective etch technique removal silicon column array2) 104, exposure The silicon core at 103 top of silicon column array, the seed crystal 105 that exposed silicon core is grown as subsequent selective epitaxial form seed crystal Array.
Then step 4 is performed, as shown in fig. 7, in the 105 surface grown buffer layer 106 of seed crystal.
As an example, in seed crystal 105 surface selective vapor the epitaxial growth AlN or AlGaN as buffer layer 106.In the present embodiment, in order to avoid aluminum metal organic matter and SiO2Barrier reaction generation be not easy gasification volatilization AlOx so as to It hinders to realize selective epitaxial growth, using halide (such as the AlCl of aluminium3) it is silicon source, and add in HCl gases and improve growth Selectivity.Specifically, with AlCl3For silicon source, with H2For carrier gas (and mixing 1% HCl gases) or with H2Airborne 5% or so HCl gases AlCl is obtained by aluminum melt3Reactant air source, and with excessive NH3React growing AIN buffer layer 106, AlN bufferings The thickness control of layer 106 is in 10~30nm.
It should be noted that during grown buffer layer 106, strong corrasion during due to HCl gas high temperature can be used for pressing down Forming core processed promotes to realize thin membrane regions property growth selection.The AlN thin film buffer layers 106 formed in the present embodiment lose with GaN lattices With smaller, on the one hand as the growth of follow-up GaN film layer when, prevent the buffer layer of lattice mismatch, on the other hand can prevent Subsequent metal Ga melt backs etch the seed crystal 105 of silicon column array top.
Then step 5 is performed, as shown in Fig. 8~Figure 12, grows to form continuous GaN on 106 surface of buffer layer Film layer 108.
As an example, using the method for metal-organic chemical vapor deposition equipment (MOCVD) on 106 surface of buffer layer Growth forms continuous GaN film layer 108.
In the present embodiment, with trimethyl gallium (Ga (CH3)3) and NH3For air source, reaction growth GaN single crystal is thin at 1100 DEG C Film layer 108.
In the step, growth forms continuous GaN film layer 108 and includes procedure below:
In early growth period, attached drawing 8 is please referred to, discrete seed crystal carries out independent growths, because of the anisotropy row of crystal growth For, Polyhedral centrum only is formed in air-flow front end, so as to form pyramid-like shape crystal grain 107, wherein, each seed crystal 105 is right A pyramid-like shape crystal grain 107 (forming GaN micromeritics array) should be formed;
Then, attached drawing 9 is please referred to, with the progress of growth, crystal grain 107 continues to grow up, in the side for carrying airflow direction, Also there is polyhedron crystal face in crystal grain 107;
10~Figure 11 of attached drawing is please referred to, as crystal grain 107 continues to grow up, crystal grain 107 is long along pyramid inclined-plane lateral growth Greatly, neighboring die 107 merges, and ultimately forms continuous GaN single crystal film layer 108;
Attached drawing 12 is please referred to, it, can by controlling the growth rate of film as the growth of GaN single crystal film layer 108 thickens The front surface of continuous single crystal film (one side far from silicon substrate) to be controlled to keep the textured surfaces structure or shape of pyramid-like shape Into flat surfaces, and on the other hand, in rear surface (close to the one side of silicon substrate), because of the anisotropic properties of crystal growth, There are textured surfaces structure, but due to the crystal grain shadow effect of itself, in the gap between neighboring die 107, gas Source cannot fully be arrived at, and reactant degree of supersaturation is low, and with growing up for crystal grain 107, shadow effect gradually enhances, neighboring die Reactant degree of supersaturation is lower and lower in gap between 107, grows on the crystal face of the back of the body airflow direction of crystal grain 107 and gradually slows down, Therefore when crystal grain 107 grows up closure for single continuous GaN film layer 108, the matte waviness of film rear surface is less than film Front surface matte waviness, the position that film is connected with silicon column are the high point of rear surface matte.
The two-sided or single side of the GaN single crystal film layer 108 forms spontaneous suede structure, which forms follow-up LED The window texture of device reduces the manufacturing process steps of GaN device, obtains excellent performance.
In the present embodiment, the two sides of the GaN single crystal film layer 108 is respectively formed textured surfaces structure, and the GaN single crystal The matte waviness of 108 rear surface of film layer is less than front surface matte waviness.
It should also be noted that, since the ratio of silicon chip substrate area entire shared by control silicon seed array is less than 5%, silicon Seed crystal is intended only as the initial nucleation site of GaN film growth, because of the intrinsic behavior of the anisotropy of crystal growth, early growth period rank The seed crystal of section various discrete forms polyhedron-shaped GaN micromeritics by heteroepitaxial growth, and subsequent film growth is with this Crystal grain, which for crystal seed grow up, slightly merges into single continuous monocrystal thin films, because of the part of heteroepitaxial growth formation on seed crystal Dislocation can grow up with anisotropic growth of the GaN micromeritics in each crystal plane direction and be disappeared, i.e., subsequent film growth Homo-substrate growth behavior, in this way in entire GaN epitaxial film growth course, the actual use amount of foreign substrate also less than 5% so that the effect of foreign substrate epitaxial growth of the present invention, which is equal to, to be carried out using the quasi- homo-substrates of GaN outside GaN single crystal film The dislocation density in epitaxial film can be greatly reduced in epitaxial growth, improve the crystal quality of GaN epitaxial film.
After GaN micromeritics is epitaxially-formed on silicon seed array, due to the anisotropic intrinsic characteristic of crystal growth, This GaN micromeritics has polyhedral surface form, and then subsequently epitaxial growing makes using these polyhedrons as growth leading surface Grain growth, which is grown up, merges into single monocrystalline continuous film, these polyhedral surfaces are not polar surfaces (0001);It is and traditional GaN epitaxial film growth, either with Si (111), Al2O3(0001) or SiC (0001) chip is substrate, before growth All it is polarity (0001) crystal face along face, is susceptible to polarity reversion farmland in the film, influences subsequent device performance, need good Good growing surface polarity control means.Therefore, the present invention is apolar surfaces epitaxial growth, is not in crystal polarity reversion Farmland has superior crystal property.In addition, using initial GaN micromeritics polyhedron (pyramid-like shape crystal grain 107) surface as Growth front surface, the thickness direction of film and film growth front surface normal direction are inconsistent, can substantially eliminate because of crystalline substance The dislocation that lattice mismatch and thermal mismatching are formed, make most dislocations all locals with silicon column connection near, so as to substantially carry The GaN film crystal quality that high extension obtains.
In addition, when 107 array of GaN crystal grain grows up and merges into single monocrystal thin films 108, the sky between adjacent silicon column Gap is retained, i.e., is only connected between GaN film layer 108 and silicon substrate 101 by silicon column, and other places are gap, these Gap helps to eliminate between GaN film layer 108 and silicon substrate 101 stress caused by thermal mismatching, can be to avoid GaN film 108 layers of warpage and fragmentation.
Finally perform step 6, as shown in figure 13, the GaN film layer 108 is shifted in stripping, remaining silicon substrate 101 and Silicon column array 103 is recycled for the step 4).
As an example, the method stripping transfer GaN film layer 108 using the stripping of vacuum suction machinery.
Only connected between GaN film layer 108 and silicon substrate 101 by silicon column since growth obtains, and silicon materials relative to GaN material brittleness is big, and therefore, GaN film layer 108 is easily removed from silicon substrate 101 by mechanical tension and shifted, and can pass through control The applying mode of mechanical tension makes fracture position be in the junction of silicon column and GaN film layer 108.
After the GaN film layer 108 is shifted in stripping, the SiO on silicon column array 103 and its periphery2Barrier layer 104 is completely protected Stay, silicon core it is exposed also only at the top of silicon column, i.e., silicon seed array substrate can be remained completely, therefore remaining seed crystal battle array Row substrate can be reused directly, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost of GaN film layer 108.It if it is desired, can be to remaining seed Brilliant array substrate carries out lye etching removal mechanical damage, then reuses.When Seed crystal substrate reuses certain number Afterwards, because of the corrasion of metal, SiO2Barrier layer have it is certain be thinned, can be before the transfer of GaN film layer mechanical stripping SiO is thickened using atomic layer chemical vapor deposition growing method (ALD)2Barrier layer enhances the repeatable usability of seed crystal array.
