Abstract
【解決手段】半導体デバイス100では、表面10aが特定の面方位を有した上で、S換算で30×1010個/cm2〜2000×1010個/cm2の硫化物、及び、O換算で2at%〜20at%の酸化物が表面層12に存在することにより、エピタキシャル層22とIII族窒化物半導体基板10との界面においてCがパイルアップすることを抑制できる。これにより、エピタキシャル層22とIII族窒化物半導体基板10との界面における高抵抗層の形成が抑制される。したがって、半導体デバイス100の発光強度を向上させることができる。
【選択図】図9
Description
図1は、第1実施形態に係るIII族窒化物半導体基板10を示す概略断面図である。III族窒化物半導体基板10(以下、「窒化物基板10」という)は、図1に示すように、互いに対向する表面10a及び裏面10bを有しており、表面10aには、表面層12が形成されている。
0.05≦PV/Q≦3.0 …(1)
PV/Qが0.05よりも小さい場合には、表面粗さが増加する傾向がある。PV/Qが3.0よりも大きい場合には、表面改質の効果が小さくなる傾向がある。
−50x+1400≦y≦−50x+1900 …(2)
yが式(2)の上限値を超えると、ポリシングパッドや研磨設備への腐食作用が強くなり、安定した状態で研磨することが困難となる傾向があると共に、基板表面の酸化が過度に進行する傾向がある。yが式(2)の下限値未満であると、基板表面の酸化作用が弱くなり易く、研磨レートが低下する傾向がある。
図4は、第1実施形態に係るエピタキシャル基板20を示す概略断面図である。エピタキシャル基板20は、図4に示すように、ベース基板としての上記窒化物基板10と、窒化物基板10の表面10a上に積層されたエピタキシャル層22とを有している。
図9は、第1実施形態に係る半導体デバイス100を示す概略断面図である。半導体デバイス100は、図9に示すように、エピタキシャル基板20と、エピタキシャル層22の表面23全体を覆って形成された電極90Aと、窒化物基板10の裏面10b全体を覆って形成された電極90Bとを有する。電極90A,90Bは、例えば金属蒸着により形成される。電極90A,90Bの形成位置は、必要に応じて適宜変更可能であり、電極90Bが窒化物基板10に電気的に接続されており、電極90Aがエピタキシャル層22に電気的に接続されていればよい。
まず、n型GaN結晶(ドーパント:O)をHVPE法によりc軸方向に成長させた。次に、GaN結晶をc軸に垂直又は平行にスライスし、直径50mm×厚さ0.5mmのGaN基板をそれぞれ得た。また、GaN結晶をc軸からm軸方向に傾斜、又は、c軸からa軸方向に傾斜させてスライスし、直径50mm×厚さ0.5mmのGaN基板をそれぞれ得た。
GaN基板の裏面をセラミックス製の結晶ホルダにワックスで貼り付けた。ラップ装置に直径380mmの定盤を設置し、ダイヤモンドの砥粒が分散されたスラリーをスラリー供給口から定盤に供給しながら、定盤をその回転軸を中心にして回転させた。次に、結晶ホルダ上に重りを載せることによりGaN基板を定盤に押し付けながら、GaN基板を結晶ホルダの回転軸を中心にして回転させることにより、n型GaN結晶の表面のラッピングを行った。
図3と同様の構成を有するポリシング装置を用いて、GaN基板の表面のCMPを行った。CMPは以下の条件で行った。ポリシングパッドとしては、ポリウレタンのスウェードパッド(ニッタ・ハース株式会社製、Supreme RN-R)を用いた。定盤としては、直径380mmの円形のステンレス鋼定盤を用いた。GaN基板とポリシングパッドとの接触係数Cは、1.0×10−6m〜2.0×10−6mとした。ポリシング圧力は10kPa〜80kPaとし、GaN基板及びポリシングパッドの回転数はいずれも30回/min〜120回/minとした。スラリー(CMP溶液)には、砥粒として粒径200nmのシリカ粒子を水に20質量%分散させた。スラリーにはpH調整剤としてクエン酸、H2SO4を添加し、酸化剤としてジクロロイソシアヌル酸ナトリウムを添加して、スラリーのpH及び酸化還元電位を下記式(3)の範囲に調整した(x:pH、y:酸化還元電位(mV))。
−50x+1400≦y≦−50x+1900 …(3)
図11に示す構成を有するレーザダイオードを以下の手順により作製した。まず、GaN基板10をMOCVD炉内のサセプタ上に配置した後、表面10a上にエピタキシャル層52を形成し、エピタキシャル基板50を得た。
