Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for depositing a nucleation layer consisting of elements of the III and V main groups directly on the surface of a substrate of an element of the main group IV, together with one containing the element of the III main group first gaseous starting material, a second gaseous starting material containing the element of the V main group is brought into a process chamber containing the substrate at a process temperature of greater than 500 ° C. At least at the beginning of the deposition of the nucleation layer, a gaseous starting material containing an element of the V main group is additionally fed into the process chamber, which effects doping in the layer.
- the invention further relates to a layer sequence produced by the method, in particular an HFET transistor.
- JP 2013030725 A A generic method is described in JP 2013030725 A.
- silicon is to be incorporated into the nucleation layer as a dopant in a high concentration in order to suppress mechanical bending.
- HFETs High Electron Mobility Transistor
- heterostructure field-effect transistors consist of a layer sequence in which a nucleation layer of A1N is first deposited on a silicon substrate. On the nucleation layer, a buffer layer of GaN is deposited. On the buffer layer, an AlGaN layer is deposited as an active layer, so a two-dimensional electron gas is formed between the active layer and the buffer layer.
- a third gaseous starting material is fed into the process chamber together with the first and second gaseous starting material, the third gaseous starting material exhibiting a certain doping effect.
- the first and the second gaseous starting material are fed into the process chamber such that a stoichiometrically correct multicomponent crystal, in particular III-V crystal, is deposited on the surface of the substrate.
- the substrate is a silicon substrate with a (111) or (llO) orientation.
- the Ele- of the III main group may be aluminum, but also gallium or indium; the element of the V main group can be nitrogen, but also arsenic or phosphorus.
- the first gaseous starting material may be an aluminum, gallium or indium-containing organometallic compound, for example TMA1.
- the second gaseous starting material may be a V-hydrogen compound, in particular a nitrogen-hydrogen compound, for example NEh.
- the process temperatures at which the nucleation layer is deposited, in which preferably aluminum and nitrogen are incorporated in a 1: 1 ratio, are in the range between 800 and 1200 ° C.
- the deposition process is carried out at a total pressure of 30 to 300 mbar.
- the molar ratio of di- th gaseous starting material for the first gaseous starting material ie preferably Getting Connected of the nitrogen to the aluminum compound V, about 10 to 5,000.
- the growth rate of the nucleation layer set via the partial pressure of the first gaseous starting material (III main group) is preferably between 0.01 and 2 gm / h.
- a third gaseous starting material is fed into the process chamber, which results in an n-doping, in particular a weak n-doping, the dopant concentration in the layer being lower as lxl0 19 cnr 3 .
- This third starting material which has the function of a dopant, can be fed both over the entire duration of the deposition of the nucleation layer and only partially at the beginning of the deposition of the nucleation layer.
- Suitable starting materials are the water compounds of silicon or germanium.
- the third gaseous starting material may correspond, for example, to the structural formula Si n H 2n + 2 or Ge n H 2n + 2. In principle, any silicon or germanium-containing gaseous starting material comes into consideration.
- the partial pressure of the third gaseous starting material or the gas flow of the third gaseous starting material into the process chamber is preferably set such that the dopant level is in the range of 1 ⁇ 10 17 to 1 x 10 18 cnr 3 lies.
- an AlN nucleation layer is applied to the surface of a silicon substrate by feeding together with TM Al and NTh a silicon hydrogen compound or a germanium hydrogen compound, for example silane or german, into the process chamber.
- a buffer layer be deposited on the nucleation layer which consists of the material system of the group III nitrides, in particular AlN, GaN, InN, AlGaN, InGaN or AlInGaN.
