Abstract

The invention discloses a method of high quality nonpolar GaN self-supporting substrate. We make the high quality nonpolar GaN self-supporting substrate from the lithium aluminate or lithium gallate acid substrate. After washing it, the lithium aluminate or lithium gallate acid substrate is put into the reactor, raise the temperature to the growth temperature of between 800deg.C and 950deg.C and choose the NH3 and HCl as the raw gases until the growth finishes. The features of the invention lie in the following aspects: because the lattice constant of the lithium aluminate (001) or lithium gallate acid is almost same with that of the GaN (11-20) and has no great structural mismatch, the dislocation density of the GaN film is relatively low and the film has high quality.

Description

A kind of method for preparing high-quality non-polar GaN self-supporting substrate
One, technical field
The present invention relates to utilize hydride vapour phase epitaxy method at novel substrate lithium aluminate (LiAlO2) (perhaps lithium gallium oxide, LiGaO2) growing GaN film and obtain the method and the technology of self-supporting non-polar GaN backing material on the substrate.
Two, technical background
With GaN and InGaN, AlGaN alloy material is that the III group nitride material of representative is the novel semiconductor material of extremely paying attention in the world in recent years.The direct band gap of its 1.9-6.2eV continuous variable, excellent physics, chemical stability, high saturated electron drift velocity, superior functions such as high disruptive field intensity and high heat conductance make it become the most preferably material of short wavelength's semiconductor photoelectronic device and high frequency, high pressure, the preparation of high temperature microelectronic component.
The III group-III nitride has broad application prospects in field of optoelectronic devices such as light demonstration, optical storage, optical illumination.Aspect light demonstration and optical illumination, super large-screen and full color display with the making of high efficiency blue-green light LED, the multidate information that can be used for the various occasions in indoor and outdoor shows, makes ultra-large type, whole plane, high definition, radiationless, low-power consumption, true color large scale display field also account for quite great proportion.The high efficiency white light emitting diode is as the novel high-efficiency and energy-saving solid light source, useful life was above 100,000 hours, comparable incandescent lamp economize on electricity 5-10 doubly, reach the dual purpose that economizes on resources, reduces environmental pollution, will worldwide cause an epoch-making deep revolution of lighting electric light source surely.
Aspect optical storage and optical detection, the blue-light semiconductor laser is used to make DVD of future generation, can improve storage density more than 20 times than present CD CD.And the characteristics of gallium nitride material broad-band gap have also guaranteed its application prospect at semiconductor device such as high temperature, high-power and ultraviolet light detectors.It has advantages such as high reliability, high efficiency, response fast, long-life, total solidsization, volume are little, will bring into play significant role in fields such as spaceship, the detection of rocket plumage cigarette, Atmospheric Survey, fire.
In the end of the year 1994, Japanese Giat Ind SA takes the lead in releasing III group-III nitride brightness blue light Light-Emitting Diode (LED), and the said firm releases green light LED again subsequently, has now formed the large-scale production ability.In December nineteen ninety-five, the said firm develops first III group-III nitride Multiple Quantum Well laser diode (LD) in the world, and the device stream time surpasses 10,000 hours at present, has released be pilot.It is 100,000 hours GaN based high-power semiconductor laser that Sony has been released life expectancy in October, 2002.From the market angle, the market of GaN base LED constantly enlarges, and its market is with the speed increment in every year 30%.
But, GaN base LED and LD product be dropped into the consumption market, must do to improve accordingly and improve to the brightness and the process yield of GaN light-emitting diode and laser diode.The key of blue light GaN base LED and LD production development is the GaN crystal substrates that will obtain the fabricating low-defect-density of reasonable price, to adapt to the oriented growth of film GaN crystal in LED and the LD, does not also have the GaN substrate of this low defective in the market.
Therefore, lacking the GaN epitaxial substrate is the most basic factor that hinders III group nitride material and device technology development, is the current forward position high-tech of attaching great importance in the world, has very important technology and Practical significance.
Because the fusing point high (~3000 ℃) of GaN, and about 1600 ℃, can decompose, be difficult to grow GaN monocrystalline more than 4 inches with traditional crystal technique, can only accomplish especially that at present several millimeters are square, can not reach the requirement of making microelectronic component and opto-electronic device far away.Thereby the GaN backing material technology of the suitable scale manufacturing of exploitation is most important to development GaN semiconductor device industry.
Solving the major technique of this difficult problem at present, is GaN horizontal extension technology.Horizontal extension is exactly deposit masking material on the GaN planar materials that has obtained (as SiO2, Si3N4, W etc.) and carves specific graphical window, carries out the secondary epitaxy of GaN more thereon." accurate free " growth conditions owing to meet, and the direction of growth is perpendicular to the direction of climbing of former GaN dislocation, thereby the Grown GaN film has very high quality.Employing horizontal extension technology can reduce the dislocation density in the epitaxial loayer significantly, typically can be from~10 10/ cm 2Be reduced to<10 6/ cm 2After horizontal extension GaN substrate on carry out thick film growth, and be aided with film-substrate separation technology, with substrate and GaN divided thin film from, just can obtain the more GaN backing material of low-dislocation-density.
The GaN backing material that adopts horizontal extension technology and HVPE thick film growing technology and lift-off technology to obtain, can be directly used in the high-power III-N semiconductor short wavelength laser of development on the one hand, high temperature, high frequency, high power electronic device, multiple novel semi-conductor devices such as UV photodetector part.On the other hand, GaN substrate itself also has huge market value.Owing to may have bigger horizontal tension in the ELOG film, may limit its application aspect bluish violet light laser.But by on ELOG GaN substrate, carry out more higher-quality GaN HVPE growth of low-dislocation-density or epitaxial growth, can eliminate the effect of tension force.The GaN substrate also can be used for wide bandgap materials such as growing high-quality ZnO.Still there is not at present GaN substrate product in enormous quantities, large-size high-quality in the world.
This invention is to utilize novel substrate to come the growing nonpolar face GaN film, utilizes nature difference unique between substrate and the GaN to obtain the GaN backing material of self-supporting.This novel backing material is exactly LiAlO2 (or LiGaO2).。Because the Grown GaN film is (10-10) orientation (see figure 1) on lithium aluminate (100) substrate, the c axle of polarity is in GaN growth for Thin Film face, so can obtain nonpolar GaN film.
