Description
Technical Field
The invention particularly relates to a nitride epitaxial structure, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of semiconductors.
Background
Gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN) and other wide bandgap semiconductor materials are used as representatives of third-generation semiconductor materials, have the advantages of high breakdown field strength, heat conductivity, electron mobility and the like, are core bases of new-generation photoelectrons, power electrons and high-frequency microelectronics in the future, and are ideal materials for preparing photoelectric devices and high-power electronic devices. Gallium nitride (GaN) is used as a third-generation semiconductor material, has the advantages of high breakdown field strength, high thermal conductivity, high electron mobility and the like, and is widely applied to the aspects of microwave radio frequency, semiconductor illumination, power electronic devices and the like. Gallium nitride-based High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) are considered to be ideal devices for high frequency, high power amplifiers required for next generation communication technologies based on the inherent characteristics of gallium nitride materials and the formation of two-dimensional electron gases at the AlGaN/GaN heterojunction interface. AlGaN/GaN HEMTs have been demonstrated to be capable of 20W mm in the X band -1 Is operated at a speed of (3).
Typically, gallium nitride is a material selected from the group consisting of silicon (Si), sapphire (Al 2 O 3 ) Heteroepitaxially grown on these substrates, but with low thermal conductivity (Si-130W m) -1 ·K -1 ,Al 2 O 3 ~ 40 W·m -1 ·K -1 ) Resulting in nitride-based semiconductor devicesThe heat dissipation performance is poor, and due to larger lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch in heterogeneous epitaxy, larger stress, defects and even cracks are usually generated in the epitaxial growth of nitride, so that the performance of subsequent devices is seriously affected. When the device is in a high bias voltage working state, excessive power dissipation leads to device temperature rise, and the traditional low-heat conductivity substrate and a heat dissipation path have limited heat dissipation capability, so that heat is prevented from diffusing to the surrounding environment, further phonon scattering is enhanced, carrier mobility in a potential well is reduced, static I-V characteristics of the device are attenuated, the phenomenon is called self-heating effect, and the application of the nitride semiconductor device under a high power condition is severely limited.
Diamond has the highest thermal conductivity in nature (more than 2000W m at room temperature) -1 ·K -1 ) The self-heating effect of the device can be effectively improved, and the reliability and performance of the device can be improved. However, single crystal diamond is a cubic crystal, gallium nitride used for power device fabrication is a hexagonal crystal, and (0001) gallium nitride is intended to be directly epitaxially grown on diamond, and (111) plane diamond is selected as a substrate. There are also difficulties in epitaxially growing gallium nitride material on (111) plane diamond substrates. On one hand, the (111) plane diamond substrate is difficult to grow and expensive, so that the whole manufacturing cost of the device is high; on the other hand, gallium nitride has large lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch with diamond, and it is difficult to obtain high quality gallium nitride material.
In recent years, more and more attention has been focused on two-dimensional materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), transition Metal Dihalide Carbon (TMDC), and the like. Among the various two-dimensional materials, graphene offers promising properties for use as a substrate, such as high conductivity, excellent mechanical strength, optical transparency, amphoteric doping, and large-area production, and has been found to receive a great deal of attention since 2004. Nitride is grown on graphene, so-called quasi-van der Waals epitaxy (QvdwE), which is a non-corresponding epitaxial mode, i.e., the epitaxial layer and the substrate are not strictly lattice-matched, so that the strain caused by interface lattice mismatch can be relieved by using weak van der Waals force of an interface, and the defect density is reduced to obtain a nitride material with low stress and low defect density. In addition, nitride materials grown on graphene can be obtained only through simple mechanical stripping, a power device with high heat dissipation performance can be prepared by transferring the nitride materials onto a metal substrate, and foldable display can be realized by transferring the nitride materials onto a flexible substrate.
Currently, most of the graphene used in QvdwE technology is transferred to an epitaxial substrate after a metal substrate (such as copper, nickel, platinum, etc.) is grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). For graphene with the thickness of only atoms or a few nanometers, the graphene is extremely easy to damage and form wrinkles in the transfer process due to low overall strength, and the PMMA transfer glue residues exist, so that the crystal quality of the subsequent epitaxial nitride is seriously affected. In addition, graphene can be directly formed on the surface through high-temperature sublimation of the SiC substrate, so that QvdwE of subsequent nitrides can be performed. The graphene prepared by the method does not need to be transferred, but the self-supporting SiC substrate is high in price, and is unfavorable for the wide application of QvdwE technology.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly aims to provide a nitride epitaxial structure, and a preparation method and application thereof, thereby overcoming the defects in the prior art.
In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the technical scheme adopted by the invention comprises the following steps:
in one aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a nitride epitaxial structure, including:
firstly, forming a silicon carbide film on the surface of a substrate;
converting at least a surface layer region of the silicon carbide film to form a graphene layer;
and growing a nitride monocrystal on the surface of the graphene layer to form a nitride epitaxial structure.
Further, the preparation method specifically comprises the following steps: and (3) annealing the silicon carbide film at the temperature of 1200-1650 ℃ for 5-300min so as to convert at least the surface layer region of the silicon carbide film into a graphene layer, wherein after the annealing is finished, the region from the surface to the set depth of the silicon carbide film is converted into the graphene layer, and the rest part is reserved and the silicon carbide layer is formed.
Specifically, the number of layers of the formed graphene layer can be controlled by controlling the temperature and time of the annealing treatment, for example, when the temperature of the annealing treatment is 1200-1650 ℃ and the time is 5-60min, the formed graphene layer is single-layer graphene, when the temperature of the annealing treatment is 1200-1650 ℃ and the time is 60-150min, the formed graphene layer is 2-layer graphene, and when the temperature of the annealing treatment is 1200-1650 ℃ and the time is 150-300min, the formed graphene layer is more than 3 layers of graphene.
Further, the preparation method specifically comprises the following steps: at least the surface layer region of the silicon carbide film is converted into single-layer graphene, when the graphene layer is single-layer graphene, the electrostatic potential of the silicon carbide layer can penetrate through the graphene layer, and the electrostatic potential can penetrate through the graphene to generate orientation guidance on the nitride single crystal, so that the orientation and the polarity of the nitride single crystal are matched with the lattice information of the composite substrate comprising the silicon carbide layer and the substrate, and the quality of the nitride single crystal is better.
Specifically, direct epitaxy of a nitride single crystal on a hetero-substrate such as diamond is heteroepitaxy, and there are problems of large lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch due to the difference in lattice constant and thermal expansion coefficient between the hetero-substrate such as diamond and nitride such as gallium nitride, whereas when nitride is epitaxially grown on graphene, nitride and graphene are not connected by covalent bonds but are not connected by van der Waals force, which is a weak interaction force, so that misfit dislocation caused by lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch can be alleviated, and stress can be reduced, and specifically, the dislocation density of GaN is lowered as the dislocation density of an aluminum nitride buffer layer is lowered, because dislocation of AlN is extended upward into GaN during epitaxy.
More specifically, the orientation and polarity of the nitride single crystal are identical to those of the silicon carbide layer. For example, when single-layer graphene is formed on the surface layer of the SiC layer with the orientation of (0001) and the Si polarity, the out-of-plane orientation and the polarity of AlN formed by growth on the single-layer graphene will be (0001) and the AlN polarity, and the in-plane orientation will be identical to that of the SiC layer, that is, as the result of directly heteroepitaxial AlN on the SiC substrate, the electrostatic potential penetration effect of the SiC layer on the single-layer graphene can enhance the van der waals force of the interface, realize the epitaxy with strong interface interaction, and will not generate misfit dislocation, thereby realizing the "remote epitaxy" of the nitride single crystal.
Further, the thickness of the graphene layer is 0.34-34nm, preferably 1-27 nm, and the thickness of the silicon carbide layer is 2-2000 nm.

or placing the substrate with the graphene layer formed on the surface in a reaction chamber, introducing a nitrogen source and a gallium source into the reaction chamber at 600-1200 ℃, controlling the introducing speed of the gallium source to be 0-100 sccm and the introducing speed of the nitrogen source to be 8-15 slm, and thus growing a monocrystalline gallium nitride layer on the surface of the graphene layer.
Further, the preparation method further comprises the following steps: and carrying out surface treatment on the graphene layer by at least adopting oxygen-containing plasma, nitrogen-containing plasma or ammonia gas, and then growing a nitride monocrystal on the graphene layer.
Specifically, when the number of layers of the graphene layer is more than two, van der waals with weak interfaces can cause grain boundary defects in the nitride single crystal to generate dislocation, and the graphene layer is subjected to surface treatment by oxygen-containing plasma, nitrogen-containing plasma or ammonia gas, so that C-O dangling bonds can be formed in the graphene layer, and the nitride single crystal and the graphene layer are combined through the dangling bonds, thereby relieving mismatching dislocation caused by lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch, reducing the grain boundary defects, reducing dislocation density and the like.
Specifically, the growth rate of the nitride single crystal on the single-layer graphene is about 0.9 times that of the two or more layers of graphene without plasma treatment, and the growth rate of the nitride single crystal on the two or more layers of graphene after plasma treatment is improved by 1.5 times compared with that of the single crystal without plasma treatment.
Specifically, an oxygen-containing plasma is adopted to perform surface treatment on the graphene layer, a C-O suspension bond is formed in the graphene layer, then a monocrystalline aluminum nitride buffer layer is grown on the surface of the graphene layer, and Al in the monocrystalline aluminum nitride buffer layer is combined with the C-O suspension bond to form a C-O-Al bond; or, firstly adopting nitrogen-containing plasma or ammonia gas to carry out surface treatment on the graphene layer, forming a C-N suspension bond in the graphene layer, then growing a monocrystalline aluminum nitride buffer layer on the surface of the graphene layer, wherein Al in the monocrystalline aluminum nitride buffer layer is combined with the C-N suspension bond to form a C-N-Al bond, and correspondingly, when a monocrystalline gallium nitride layer grows on the surface of the graphene layer, ga in the monocrystalline gallium nitride layer can be combined with the C-O suspension bond to form a C-O-Ga bond and combined with the C-N suspension bond to form a C-N-Ga bond.
