Examples of these preferred embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings and described in accordance with the drawings are exemplary only, and the invention is not limited to these embodiments.
It should be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and/or processing steps closely related to the scheme according to the present invention are shown in the drawings, and other details not so relevant to the present invention are omitted.
The embodiment provides a method for manufacturing an aluminum nitride-silicon carbide composite film, which comprises the following steps:
step 1, providing a 6H-SiC monocrystal silicon carbide substrate, and putting the silicon carbide substrate into an HF solution or an HCl solution for ultrasonic cleaning for 8-10 minutes.
And 2, putting the silicon carbide substrate obtained in the step 1 into an acetone solution for ultrasonic cleaning for 10-12 minutes.
And 3, putting the silicon carbide substrate subjected to the step 2 into an isopropyl alcohol solution, and ultrasonically cleaning for 8-12 minutes.
And 4, putting the silicon carbide substrate subjected to the step 3 into an ethanol solution, and ultrasonically cleaning for 7-8 minutes.
And 5, carrying out nitrogen blow-drying on the silicon carbide substrate after the step 4 to finish cleaning.
And 6, roughening the carbon surface of the silicon carbide substrate by using a diamond polishing solution to form a roughened carbon surface, wherein the surface roughness of the roughened carbon surface is 3-10 nm (detected by a commercial atomic force microscope and fitted by self-contained software).
And 7, carrying out epitaxial growth of aluminum nitride on the roughened carbon surface, specifically:
introducing ammonia gas for 3-10 minutes at the temperature of 1300-1350 ℃, then introducing a nitrogen source and an aluminum source according to the flow ratio of the nitrogen source to the aluminum source of more than 90:1, and epitaxially growing a first aluminum nitride film with the thickness of 10-50 nm at the growth rate of 50-200 nm/h;
introducing a nitrogen source and an aluminum source at the temperature of 1350-1400 ℃, wherein the flow ratio of the nitrogen source to the aluminum source is 60-90: 1, and a second sub aluminum nitride layer with the thickness of 500 nm-1000 nm is epitaxially grown on the first sub aluminum nitride layer at the growth rate of 200 nm/h-500 nm/h;
and introducing a nitrogen source and an aluminum source at the temperature of 1400-1450 ℃, wherein the flow ratio of the nitrogen source to the aluminum source is 35-60: 1, and extending a third sub-aluminum nitride layer with the thickness of 1000-10000 nm on the second sub-aluminum nitride layer at the growth rate of 500-2000 nm/h to form the aluminum nitride layer with the pore structure. The specific surface topography is shown in fig. 2.
Wherein, the specific growth principle is as follows: the formation of porous aluminum nitride is a result of controlling the growth of aluminum nitride using growth kinetics. Initially, aluminum nitride non-uniformly nucleates on the carbon face of the roughened silicon carbide substrate, forming aluminum nitride islands. Then the small islands grow gradually and are connected with each other. At this time, at a specific V/III ratio (nitrogen source/aluminum source ratio, generally between 50 and 300), it is difficult for the aluminum nitride islands to be completely merged to form a continuous aluminum nitride film, and a large number of pores are thus formed and retained.
And 8, repeating the cleaning process from the step 1 to the step 5.
The aluminum nitride thin film of the aluminum nitride-silicon carbide composite film manufactured by the manufacturing method of the embodiment has a structure with a plurality of holes. The purpose of roughening the carbon surface of the silicon carbide substrate in the manufacturing method of the invention is to improve the probability of forming a pore structure in the epitaxial growth process of the aluminum nitride film. The aluminum nitride film with the porous structure can relieve tensile stress generated during growth on the silicon carbide substrate and relieve cracks, so that the growth thickness of the aluminum nitride film can reach more than 3 microns, a sensor or an optical device based on the aluminum nitride-silicon carbide composite film can be manufactured, and the application range of the aluminum nitride-silicon carbide composite film is further improved.
In addition, in the process of forming the third aluminum nitride layer in the step 7, the temperature is increased to 1450-1600 ℃, and when the growth rate of the aluminum nitride is increased to 3000-7000 nm/h, the aluminum nitride film with the cavity structure can be obtained, that is, the pore structure of the aluminum nitride film can be sealed by increasing the growth temperature and the growth rate of the aluminum nitride, so that the surface of the aluminum nitride-silicon carbide composite film is smoother, and the application range is further expanded.
