Description

Conduction spinel structure MgIn 2O 4/ MgO compound lining material and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the epitaxially grown conduction spinel structure of a kind of InN-GaN of being applicable to base blue-light semiconductor MgIn 2O 4/ MgO compound lining material and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
The broad-band gap III-V group iii v compound semiconductor material that with GaN is representative is receiving increasing concern, they will be at blue, green light LED (LEDs) and laser diode (LDs), high density information read-write, subsurface communication, deep quest, laser printing, biology and engineering in medicine, and ultrahigh speed microelectronic component and hyperfrequency microwave device aspect are with a wide range of applications.
Because GaN fusing point height, hardness is big, saturated vapor pressure is high, so want the GaN body monocrystalline of growing large-size to need high temperature and high pressure, Polish high pressure research center has made just under the high pressure of 1600 ℃ high temperature and 20kbar that bar is wide to be the GaN body monocrystalline of 5mm.Current, the technology of GaN body monocrystalline of growing large-size more immature, and growth is with high costs, from practical application quite long distance is arranged still.
Sapphire crystal (α-Al 2O 3), be easy to preparation, low price, and have the good characteristics such as high-temperature stability, α-Al 2O 3It is at present the most frequently used InN-GaN epitaxial substrate material (referring to Jpn.J.Appl.Phys., the 36th volume,, the 1568th page in 1997).
The MgO crystal belongs to cubic system, and NaCl type structure, lattice constant are 0.4126nm, and fusing point is 2800 ℃.Because the lattice mismatch of MgO crystal and GaN reaches 13%, and not enough stable in MOCVD atmosphere, thereby use less.
At present, typical GaN base blue-ray LED is made on Sapphire Substrate.Its structure is as follows from top to bottom: p-GaN/AlGaN barrier layer/InGaN-GaN quantumwells/AlGaN barrier layer/n-GaN/4 μ m GaN.Because sapphire has high resistivity, so the n-type of device and p-type electrode must be drawn from the same side.This has not only increased the manufacture difficulty of device, has also increased the volume of device simultaneously.According to interrelated data, for the Sapphire Substrate of a slice 2 inches diameter size, present technology can only be produced about about 10,000 of GaN device, and if backing material has suitable conductivity, then when simplifying device making technics, its number can increase to present 3~4 times.
In sum, technology substrate (α-Al formerly 2O 3And MgO) the remarkable shortcoming that exists is:
(1) with α-Al 2O 3Make substrate, α-Al 2O 3And the lattice mismatch between the GaN makes the GaN film of preparation have higher dislocation density and a large amount of point defects up to 14%;
(2) because the lattice mismatch of MgO crystal and GaN reaches 13%, and stable inadequately in MOCVD atmosphere, thereby use less;
(3) above transparent oxide substrate is all non-conductive, and the element manufacturing difficulty is big, has also increased the volume of device simultaneously, has caused the waste of great deal of raw materials.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to overcome the shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art, provides a kind of as the epitaxially grown conduction spinel structure of InN-GaN base blue-light semiconductor MgIn 2O 4/ MgO compound lining material and preparation method thereof.
Conduction spinel structure MgIn of the present invention 2O 4/ MgO compound lining material is actually at the MgO monocrystalline and is provided with one deck MgIn 2O 4And consist of, this compound substrate is suitable for epitaxial growth high quality InV-GaN base blue-light semiconductor film.
Report translucent conduction CdO film first in 1907, caused people's big interest; But up to World War II, because military demand, transparent conductive oxide (transparent conductive oxide, TCO) just paid attention to widely and used by film.In decades subsequently, found and studied the TCO film of a variety of materials, and constantly expanded their purposes.
At present, the TCO film is mainly used in flat-panel monitor and building two big fields.In 2O 3: Sn (tin-doped indium oxide, ITO) film has that the transparency is good, resistivity is low, easy erosion is drawn and the easy advantage such as low temperature preparation, is the preferred material of the TCO film that uses in the field of flat panel displays always.SnO 2: the F film is because Heat stability is good, characteristics such as chemical stability is good, hardness is high, production equipment is simple, process cycle is short, the prices of raw and semifnished materials are cheap and production cost is low, in large tracts of land TCO films for building such as Energy Saving Windows are used, has the absolute predominance that can not be substituted.
But, in the different application of TCO film neck city, different requirements has been proposed for the performance of TCO film.And each TCO material all has characteristic separately, can not satisfy all application requirements.For example, transparency electrode in the flat-panel monitor requires the TCO film to have characteristics such as lower resistivity, easily etching, surfacing is smooth, so ito thin film meets its requirement most; But, ito thin film expensive and not corrosion resistance make it on glass of building market at all can't with SnO 2: the F film contends with.
In order to develop the TCO film that is fit to special purpose, some research groups make up various TCO materials, prepare the TCO film that some have new feature.Because the polynary TCO film that the TCO combination of materials consists of can be adjusted electricity, optics, chemistry and the physical property of film by changing component, thereby obtain the not available performance of single TCO material, satisfies the needs of some special occasions.
MgIn 2O 4(Indium magnesium oxide, IMO) is ternary TCO material, MgIn 2O 4Belong to inverse spinel structure, natural magnesium aluminate (MgAl 2O 4) crystal structure of a kind of uniqueness of having is called as spinel structure, this structure belongs to cubic system, face-centered cubic lattice.The chemical species of spinel structure is various, can roughly reduce three types by the calking distribution situation of metal ion in crystal structure: positive spinel type structure, inverse spinel structure, osculant spinel structure.Because this structural difference, the crystal of most of positive spinel type structures is insulators, and the crystal conduction performance of most of inverse spinel structures is good, and some of them can be used as semiconductor substrate materials, for example MgIn 2O 4The conductive capability of the crystal of osculant spinel structure is not as good as the crystal of inverse spinel structure.The MgIn of inverse spinel structure 2O 4Belong to cubic system, lattice paprmeter is 0.8864nm, the about 3.5eV of its optical band gap (being optical energy gap), and room-temperature conductivity can reach 2.3 * 10 2S/cm.
