Abstract
【解決手段】直径が100mm以上であり、酸素濃度が1×1017cm-3以下であり、転位密度が2×104cm-2以下であり、積層欠陥の面積比率が2.0%以下である炭化珪素単結晶基板100を基板ホルダ160に保持し、チャンバ120内の露点を測定、監視しながら炭化珪素をエピタキシャル成長させた炭化珪素エピタキシャル基板。
【選択図】図3
Description
最初に本開示の実施態様を列記して説明する。
〔9〕炭化珪素単結晶基板の直径は200mm以上でもよい。
以下、本開示の一実施形態(以下「本実施形態」と記す)について詳細に説明するが、本実施形態はこれらに限定されるものではない。以下の説明では、同一または対応する要素には同一の符号を付し、それらについて同じ説明は繰り返さない。本明細書の結晶学的記載においては、個別方位を[]、集合方位を<>、個別面を()、集合面を{}でそれぞれ示している。ここで結晶学上の指数が負であることは、通常、数字の上に”−”(バー)を付すことによって表現されるが、本明細書では数字の前に負の符号を付すことによって結晶学上の負の指数を表現している。
第1実施形態は炭化珪素単結晶基板である。図1は本実施形態に係る炭化珪素単結晶基板の一例を示す概略平面図である。炭化珪素単結晶基板100は、直径が100mm以上の基板である。炭化珪素単結晶基板100の直径は150mm以上であってもよいし、200mm以上であってもよい。直径が大きくなるほど、転位および積層欠陥が発生しやすくなることも考えられる。そのため直径が大きくなるほど、本実施形態による転位および積層欠陥の低減効果が顕著になることが期待される。直径の上限は特に制限されない。直径の上限は、たとえば250mmでもよい。炭化珪素単結晶基板100の厚さも特に制限されない。炭化珪素単結晶基板100の厚さは、たとえば100μm以上10mm以下でもよい。
本実施形態によれば炭化珪素エピタキシャル基板も提供される。図8は、本実施形態に係る炭化珪素エピタキシャル基板の構成の一例を示す概略断面図である。図8に示されるように、炭化珪素エピタキシャル基板1000は、炭化珪素単結晶基板100と、炭化珪素単結晶基板100上にあるエピタキシャル層1001と、を備える。前述のように炭化珪素単結晶基板100は、直径が100mm以上であり、酸素濃度が1×1017cm-3以下であり、転位密度が2×104cm-2以下であり、積層欠陥の面積比率が2.0%以下である。
第2実施形態は結晶成長装置である。本実施形態に係る結晶成長装置には、昇華法により単結晶を成長させるための単結晶成長装置の他、CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition)法等の気相成長法によって基板上にエピタキシャル層を成長させるためのエピタキシャル成長装置等も含まれる。
