Description
本発明は、デバイス作製用基板、その製造方法及び近赤外線発光デバイスに関する。特に、格子歪みがなく、平坦な一面を有するデバイス作製用基板、その製造方法及び近赤外線発光デバイスに関する。 The present invention relates to a device manufacturing substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and a near-infrared light emitting device. In particular, the present invention relates to a device manufacturing substrate having no flat lattice distortion and a flat surface, a manufacturing method thereof, and a near infrared light emitting device.
格子歪みがなく、平坦な一面を有するInGaAs(砒化インジウムガリウム)薄膜は、その上に、バンドギャップ及び格子定数を広い範囲で自由に制御可能なデバイスを構築できる基板として検討されている。特に、高移動度電子半導体デバイスや近赤外発光デバイス等への応用が期待されている。 An InGaAs (indium gallium arsenide) thin film having a flat surface without lattice distortion has been studied as a substrate on which a device capable of freely controlling a band gap and a lattice constant in a wide range can be constructed. In particular, application to high mobility electronic semiconductor devices, near-infrared light emitting devices, and the like is expected.
通常、前記InGaAs薄膜は、市販されているGaAs(砒化ガリウム)半導体基板上にエピタキシャル成長させて作製される。
しかし、エピタキシャル成長の際、前記InGaAs薄膜の格子定数とGaAs基板の格子定数の相違により、InGaAs薄膜にGaAs基板との格子不整合に起因する歪みが生じ、更に、貫通転位などの欠陥が伝搬するという問題があった。
Usually, the InGaAs thin film is produced by epitaxial growth on a commercially available GaAs (gallium arsenide) semiconductor substrate.
However, during epitaxial growth, due to the difference between the lattice constant of the InGaAs thin film and the lattice constant of the GaAs substrate, distortion is caused in the InGaAs thin film due to lattice mismatch with the GaAs substrate, and defects such as threading dislocations propagate. There was a problem.
この問題を解決するために様々な対策が取られてきた。
例えば、特許文献1では、欠損型化合物層である(Ga2Se3)を界面に導入する事により歪みを緩和し、転位の発生伝搬を抑制している。しかし、Seを含む化合物の導入は、蒸気圧が高いためにGaAsの品質を大幅に低下させた。
Various measures have been taken to solve this problem.
For example, in Patent Document 1, distortion is mitigated by introducing (Ga 2 Se 3 ), which is a defect type compound layer, into the interface, and dislocation propagation is suppressed. However, the introduction of a compound containing Se significantly reduced the quality of GaAs due to the high vapor pressure.
特許文献2では、多孔質化したGaAsを界面に導入する事により、転位の抑制を試みている。しかし、多孔質化したGaAs形成では、複雑なプロセスの導入が必要となり、歩留まりが悪化し、コストを高めた。 In Patent Document 2, an attempt is made to suppress dislocation by introducing porous GaAs into the interface. However, the formation of porous GaAs requires the introduction of a complicated process, which deteriorates the yield and increases the cost.
非特許文献1では、有機気相成長(MOCVD)法を用い、GaAs(100)基板上に1ミクロン以上の格子緩和層と呼ばれるInGaAs中間層を導入して、歪みに起因する転位がIn0.3Ga0.7As疑似基板に伝搬するのを防いでいる。しかし、500nm以上という非常に厚い格子緩和層を導入する事により、製造コストを増大させるという問題を発生させた。 In Non-Patent Document 1, an organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOCVD) method is used to introduce an InGaAs intermediate layer called a lattice relaxation layer of 1 micron or more on a GaAs (100) substrate . thereby preventing 3 Ga 0.7 propagating to As pseudo substrate. However, the introduction of a very thick lattice relaxation layer of 500 nm or more has caused a problem of increasing the manufacturing cost.
非特許文献2には、分子線エピタキシー(MBE)法を用い、GaAs(100)基板上に組成の異なるInGaAsを3層積層することにより、同様に転位がIn0.23Ga0.77As疑似基板に伝搬するのを防いでいる。しかし、3層導入により、製造コストを増大させるという問題を発生させた。また、実用の際には結晶成長に必要なコストと作製の手間を大幅に悪化させた。 Non-Patent Document 2, using a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method, GaAs (100) by three-layer different InGaAs compositions on the substrate, similarly dislocations In 0.23 Ga 0.77 As pseudo Propagation to the substrate is prevented. However, the introduction of three layers caused a problem of increasing manufacturing costs. In practical use, the cost required for crystal growth and the time and effort of production were greatly deteriorated.
本発明は、格子歪みがなく、平坦な一面を有するデバイス作製用基板、その簡便な製造方法、上記構造を用いた近赤外線発光デバイスを提供することを課題とする。 It is an object of the present invention to provide a device manufacturing substrate having no flat lattice distortion and having a flat surface, a simple manufacturing method thereof, and a near infrared light emitting device using the above structure.
本発明者は、上記事情を鑑みて、分子線エピタキシー(MBE)法を用いてGaAs(111)A基板上に高品質の単結晶InAs薄膜を結晶成長により形成する研究を行ってきた(非特許文献3)。この研究では、分子線エピタキシー法をもちいて、GaAs(111)A基板表面上にInAsを成長させた場合、成長初期に転位が導入されて急峻に歪みが緩和することにより、高品質で平坦なInAs層を成長可能であることを報告した。そしてその成長の初期において、InAs表面の面内の格子定数がGaAsからInAsへと変化することを報告した。これらの知見に基づいて、試行錯誤を行った結果、GaAsの(111)A面上に、0.7nm以上1.8nm未満の厚さのInAs薄膜(格子緩和層)を導入するだけで、格子歪みがなく、平坦な一面を有するInxGa1−xAs薄膜(0.23≦x≦0.75)(被格子緩和層)を形成することができ、本研究を完成した。また、被格子緩和層の上に量子井戸構造を形成することにより、近赤外域で発光するデバイスを作製できた。
本発明は、以下の構成を有する。
In view of the above circumstances, the present inventor has conducted research to form a high-quality single-crystal InAs thin film on a GaAs (111) A substrate by crystal growth using a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method (non-patented). Reference 3). In this study, when InAs is grown on the surface of a GaAs (111) A substrate by using molecular beam epitaxy, dislocations are introduced at the initial stage of growth and the strain is relieved sharply, so that high quality and flatness is achieved. It has been reported that an InAs layer can be grown. It was reported that the in-plane lattice constant of the InAs surface changed from GaAs to InAs at the beginning of the growth. As a result of trial and error based on these findings, it is possible to obtain a lattice by simply introducing an InAs thin film (lattice relaxation layer) having a thickness of 0.7 nm to less than 1.8 nm on the (111) A surface of GaAs.

(本発明の実施形態)
<デバイス作製用基板>
まず、本発明の実施形態であるデバイス作製用基板について説明する。
図1は、本発明の実施形態であるデバイス作製用基板の一例を示す側面図である。
図1に示すように、本発明の実施形態であるデバイス作製用基板31は、GaAs基板11と、GaAsバッファ層12と、InAs薄膜13と、InM(III)As膜14とをこの順序で積層してなる。
(Embodiment of the present invention)
<Device fabrication substrate>
First, a device manufacturing substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a side view showing an example of a device fabrication substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, a device manufacturing substrate 31 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a GaAs substrate 11, a GaAs buffer layer 12, an InAs thin film 13, and an InM (III) As film 14 stacked in this order. Do it.
InAs薄膜13の膜厚は0.7nm以上1.8nm以下とされている。InAs薄膜13を導入することにより、InAs薄膜13がその上に積層されるInM(III)As膜14を格子緩和して、格子歪みがなく、平坦な一面を有するInM(III)As膜14を形成できる。
0.7nm未満では、InAsを格子緩和できず、その上に形成するInM(III)As膜14も格子緩和できない。そのため、格子歪みがなく、平坦な一面を有するInM(III)As膜14を形成できない。例えば、InxGa1−xAs は、一定の値まで格子緩和せず(GaAsの格子定数に合わせたまま)に成長し、その後、格子不整合転位が形成されることにより、表面が著しく荒れる。
The thickness of the InAs thin film 13 is 0.7 nm or more and 1.8 nm or less. By introducing the InAs thin film 13, the InM (III) As film 14 on which the InAs thin film 13 is laminated is lattice-relaxed, and the InM (III) As film 14 having no flat lattice distortion and having a flat surface is obtained. Can be formed.
If the thickness is less than 0.7 nm, InAs cannot be lattice-relaxed, and the InM (III) As film 14 formed thereon cannot be lattice-relaxed. Therefore, the InM (III) As film 14 having no lattice distortion and having a flat surface cannot be formed. For example, In x Ga 1-x As grows without lattice relaxation to a certain value (while maintaining the lattice constant of GaAs), and then a lattice mismatch dislocation is formed, so that the surface becomes extremely rough. .
また、1.8nm超でも、InAs薄膜がInAs本来の特性を持ち始め、InAsとInxGa1−xAsの間の格子不整合により、InxGa1−xAs層の平坦性を悪化させる。格子歪みがなく、平坦な一面を有するInM(III)As膜14を形成できない。 In addition, even if it exceeds 1.8 nm, the InAs thin film starts to have InAs inherent characteristics, and the flatness of the In x Ga 1-x As layer is deteriorated due to lattice mismatch between InAs and In x Ga 1-x As. . There is no lattice distortion and the InM (III) As film 14 having a flat surface cannot be formed.
InM(III)As薄膜14は、InxM(III)1−xAs薄膜(0.23≦x≦0.75)であることが好ましい。これにより、InAs薄膜の平坦化が実現できる。0.23未満では格子定数がGaAsと近すぎるために、表面平坦性を悪化させる可能性があり、0.75超では、格子定数及びバンドギャップがInAsバルクと近くなりすぎるため、近赤外域デバイ作製用の基板として適さない。Gaの代わりにAlを用いた場合においても、同様の効果が期待できる。M(III)はIII族の金属原子であり、例えば、Ga、Alである。 The InM (III) As thin film 14 is preferably an In x M (III) 1-x As thin film (0.23 ≦ x ≦ 0.75). Thereby, planarization of the InAs thin film can be realized. If it is less than 0.23, the lattice constant is too close to GaAs, which may deteriorate the surface flatness. If it exceeds 0.75, the lattice constant and the band gap are too close to the InAs bulk. It is not suitable as a substrate for manufacturing. A similar effect can be expected when Al is used instead of Ga. M (III) is a Group III metal atom, for example, Ga or Al.
GaAs基板の(111)A面上にInAs薄膜13を形成してもよいが、GaAs基板の(111)A面上に成膜されたGaAsバッファ層の(111)A面上にInAs薄膜13を形成することが好ましい。GaAs基板上にInAs薄膜13を成膜する場合に比べて、より清浄化された面にInAs薄膜13を成膜でき、不純物欠陥等を少なくできるためである。 Although the InAs thin film 13 may be formed on the (111) A surface of the GaAs substrate, the InAs thin film 13 is formed on the (111) A surface of the GaAs buffer layer formed on the (111) A surface of the GaAs substrate. It is preferable to form. This is because the InAs thin film 13 can be formed on a cleaner surface and the impurity defects and the like can be reduced as compared with the case where the InAs thin film 13 is formed on the GaAs substrate.

A step of forming a GaAs buffer layer may be provided.

所定の波長の発光が可能な材料を選択し、量子井戸での閉じ込め効果を勘案することにより、所望の近赤外域領域で発光させることができる。
Examples of the quantum well structure 51 include an In x Ga 1-x As quantum well / In x Al 1-x As structure and an InAs quantum dot / InAlGaAs structure.
By selecting a material that can emit light of a predetermined wavelength and considering the confinement effect in the quantum well, light can be emitted in a desired near-infrared region.

The lattice relaxation layer is an InAs thin film having a thickness of 0.7 nm to 1.8 nm, and the lattice relaxation layer is an InM (III) As thin film (where M (III) is a group III metal atom.

The film thickness can be precisely limited to form a laminated film, and a desired quantum well structure can be formed. Thereby, an excellent near-infrared light emitting device can be constructed.
本発明の実施形態であるデバイス作製用基板は、前記M(III)がGa又はAlである構成なので、GaとAlの比率を変える事により禁制帯幅を制御できる。 Since the device manufacturing substrate according to the embodiment of the present invention has a configuration in which the M (III) is Ga or Al, the forbidden bandwidth can be controlled by changing the ratio of Ga and Al.

Since the structure is used, a flat surface having no lattice constant distortion can be formed.
