Description
本発明は、グラファイト薄膜の形成方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for forming a graphite thin film.
近年、新しい電子材料としてグラフェン、及びその積層体であるグラファイト薄膜に注目が集まっている。グラファイト薄膜の形成方法としては、以下の（１）、（２）の方法が提案されている（特許文献１参照）。
（１）基板上にグラフェンを形成するための金属触媒を用意し、加熱した金属触媒へ炭素を含むガスを供給し、金属触媒上で反応させて炭素を析出させる方法。
（２）基板上にグラフェンを形成するための金属触媒を用意し、加熱した金属触媒へ炭素を含むガスを供給し、金属触媒中に炭素を固溶させ、金属触媒を冷却する過程で金属触媒表面に炭素を析出させる方法。
In recent years, attention has been focused on graphene as a new electronic material and a graphite thin film that is a laminate thereof. As a method for forming a graphite thin film, the following methods (1) and (2) have been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

特許文献１記載の方法により形成されたグラファイト薄膜は金属上にあり、このままでは電子デバイスへ応用し難い。そのため、金属上にあるグラファイト薄膜を、シリコン等の基板へ転写する提案がなされている（特許文献２参照）。 The graphite thin film formed by the method described in Patent Document 1 is on a metal and is difficult to apply to an electronic device as it is. Therefore, a proposal has been made to transfer a graphite thin film on a metal to a substrate such as silicon (see Patent Document 2).
しかしながら、グラファイト薄膜を転写する過程において、グラファイト薄膜にしわが生じたり、未転写部分が発生する等、グラファイト薄膜に欠陥を誘起してしまう。
本発明は以上の点に鑑みなされたものであり、転写を必ずしも必要としない、グラファイト薄膜の形成方法を提供することを目的とする。
However, in the process of transferring the graphite thin film, defects are induced in the graphite thin film, such as wrinkles in the graphite thin film and untransferred portions.
This invention is made | formed in view of the above point, and it aims at providing the formation method of a graphite thin film which does not necessarily require transcription | transfer.
本発明のグラファイト薄膜の形成方法は、物理気相堆積法により、（ａ）炭素と（ｂ）Ｆｅ、Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ、Ｐｔ、Ａｇ、及びゲルマニウムのいずれかである金属とを含む薄膜Ａを基板上に形成し、前記（ｂ）成分の融点より低い熱処理温度での熱処理により前記（ｂ）成分を粒子状に凝集させることで、前記基板上にグラファイト薄膜を形成する。本発明によれば、転写を行わなくても、グラファイト（グラフェンシートの積層体）薄膜を形成することができる。 Method of forming a graphite film of the present invention, by a physical vapor deposition method, (a) and carbon (b) Fe, Co, Ni , Cu, thin film comprises Pt, Ag, and a metal is either germanium A Is formed on the substrate, and the component (b) is aggregated in the form of particles by a heat treatment at a heat treatment temperature lower than the melting point of the component (b), thereby forming a graphite thin film on the substrate. According to the present invention, a graphite (laminated graphene sheet) thin film can be formed without transferring.
本発明のグラファイト薄膜の形成方法における各段階を図示すると、図１に示すとおりとなる。図１の（１）は、使用する基板１を示す。図１の（２）は、基板１の上に、物理気相堆積法により、炭素原子３、（ｂ）成分の原子５が堆積し、薄膜Ａ（符号７）を形成している状態を示す。このとき、（ｂ）成分が金属であると、薄膜Ａは金属炭素混合膜となる。図１の（３）は熱処理後、グラファイト薄膜９が基板上に析出している状態を示す。このとき、グラファイト薄膜９の上には、（ｂ）成分の層１１が残存している。図１の（４）は、（ｂ）成分の層１１を除去し、基板１上にグラファイト薄膜９が形成されている状態を示す。 Each stage in the method for forming a graphite thin film of the present invention is illustrated as shown in FIG. FIG. 1 (1) shows a substrate 1 to be used. (2) of FIG. 1 shows a state in which a carbon atom 3 and an atom 5 of the component (b) are deposited on the substrate 1 by physical vapor deposition to form a thin film A (symbol 7). . At this time, if the component (b) is a metal, the thin film A becomes a metal carbon mixed film. (3) in FIG. 1 shows a state in which the graphite thin film 9 is deposited on the substrate after the heat treatment. At this time, the layer 11 of the component (b) remains on the graphite thin film 9. (4) of FIG. 1 shows a state in which the layer 11 of the component (b) is removed and the graphite thin film 9 is formed on the substrate 1.
前記金属としては、例えば、Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Pt、Ag等が挙げられる。グラフェンを形成する上で触媒として機能する金属が好ましい。
前記物理気相堆積法（Physical Vapor Deposition）としては、例えば、スパッタ、蒸着等が挙げられる。物理気相堆積法により形成された薄膜Ａは熱的に非平衡な状態にある。
Examples of the metal include Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pt, and Ag. A metal that functions as a catalyst in forming graphene is preferred.
Examples of the physical vapor deposition method include sputtering and vapor deposition. The thin film A formed by physical vapor deposition is in a thermally non-equilibrium state.
薄膜Ａを形成する方法としては、例えば、炭素を含むガス中で、（ｂ）成分をスパッタする方法が挙げられる。この炭素を含むガスとしては、例えば、炭化水素(例えば、メタン、エタン、エチレン等)を含むガスが挙げられる。この方法によれば、スパッタガスに由来する炭素と、スパッタターゲットに由来する（ｂ）成分とを含む薄膜Ａを形成することができる。 Examples of the method for forming the thin film A include a method of sputtering the component (b) in a gas containing carbon. Examples of the gas containing carbon include a gas containing a hydrocarbon (for example, methane, ethane, ethylene, etc.). According to this method, it is possible to form the thin film A including carbon derived from the sputtering gas and the component (b) derived from the sputtering target.
また、薄膜Ａを形成する別の方法としては、スパッタ装置に、（ｂ）成分のターゲットとともに、炭素（例えばグラファイト）のターゲットも取り付け、同時スパッタにより、（ｂ）成分と炭素とを含む薄膜Ａを形成する方法がある。また、炭素を（ｂ）成分に加えたものをターゲットとして、（ｂ）成分と炭素とを含む薄膜Ａを形成する方法もある。 As another method of forming the thin film A, a thin film A containing the component (b) and carbon is attached to the sputtering apparatus by attaching a carbon (for example, graphite) target together with the component (b) target. There is a method of forming. There is also a method of forming the thin film A containing the component (b) and carbon by using a target obtained by adding carbon to the component (b).
前記熱処理における熱処理温度は、（ｂ）成分の融点より低い。このことは、例えば基板と（ｂ）成分との不要な反応を抑制する点で有利である。熱処理は、高真空下で行ってもよいし、不活性ガス雰囲気（常圧又は減圧）下で行ってもよい。 The heat treatment temperature in the heat treatment is lower than the melting point of the component (b) . This is advantageous in that, for example, an unnecessary reaction between the substrate and the component (b) is suppressed. The heat treatment may be performed under a high vacuum, or may be performed under an inert gas atmosphere (normal pressure or reduced pressure).
前記（ｂ）成分を除去する方法としては、例えば、熱処理後、（ｂ）成分を可溶な液体と接触させることで、前記（ｂ）成分を除去する方法が挙げられる。（ｂ）成分を可溶な液体は特に限定されず、例えば、無機酸（硫酸、硝酸、塩酸等）を用いることができる。 Examples of the method for removing the component (b) include a method for removing the component (b) by bringing the component (b) into contact with a soluble liquid after heat treatment. The liquid in which the component (b) is soluble is not particularly limited, and for example, an inorganic acid (sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc.) can be used.
また、前記（ｂ）成分がゲルマニウムである場合は、（ｂ）成分を除去する方法として、例えば、１Ｐａ以上の圧力下で熱処理を行う方法が挙げられる。この場合、ゲルマニウムが雰囲気中の酸素と反応し酸化ゲルマニウムとなり昇華することで除去される。ゲルマニウムを昇華させる熱処理は、炭素を基板上に析出させる熱処理時であってもよいし、それとは別の炭素の析出後の熱処理であってもよい。 When the component (b) is germanium, examples of the method for removing the component (b) include a method of performing a heat treatment under a pressure of 1 Pa or more. In this case, germanium reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to form germanium oxide, which is removed by sublimation. The heat treatment for sublimating germanium may be at the time of heat treatment for precipitating carbon on the substrate, or may be heat treatment after precipitation of carbon other than that.
本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
＜実施例１＞
１．グラファイト薄膜の形成方法
基板として、シリコンウェハの表面に、熱酸化により酸化膜を形成した物を用いた。この基板を、一般的なマグネトロンスパッタ装置（以下、単にスパッタ装置とする）に取り付けた。スパッタ装置には、Fe（カーボンの固溶度が高い金属、金属触媒）のターゲットを取り付け、スパッタガスとしてメタン（炭化水素）を１０％含むアルゴンガスを導入し、真空度を０．０１ｍｂａｒとした。この条件において、上述した基板上に、スパッタ（物理気相堆積法）により、膜厚２０ｎｍの薄膜Ａを形成した。この薄膜Ａは、メタン由来の炭素とＦｅとを含む薄膜であり、おおよそ２０原子％の炭素を含んでいた。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<Example 1>
1. Method for Forming Graphite Thin Film A substrate in which an oxide film was formed on the surface of a silicon wafer by thermal oxidation was used. This substrate was attached to a general magnetron sputtering apparatus (hereinafter simply referred to as a sputtering apparatus). A target of Fe (metal having high solid solubility of carbon, metal catalyst) is attached to the sputtering apparatus, and argon gas containing 10% methane (hydrocarbon) is introduced as a sputtering gas, and the degree of vacuum is set to 0.01 mbar. . Under these conditions, a thin film A having a thickness of 20 nm was formed on the above-described substrate by sputtering (physical vapor deposition method). This thin film A was a thin film containing carbon derived from methane and Fe, and contained approximately 20 atomic% of carbon.
次に、薄膜Ａを形成した基板を、真空度０．７Ｐａ、８００℃の下で、３０分間熱処理した。熱処理後の薄膜をラマン分光測定したところ、図２に示すように、グラファイトの特徴を示すGピークや２Dピークが見られた。また、熱処理後の薄膜を電子顕微鏡観察したところ、図３に示すように、薄片状の膜が観察された。また、表面上に凝集したFe粒子も観察された。ラマン分光結果および電子顕微鏡観察結果より、基板上の薄膜は、２−９層程度のグラファイト薄膜であることが分かった。このグラファイト薄膜は、熱処理により、薄膜Ａから炭素が基板上に析出して形成されたものである。 Next, the substrate on which the thin film A was formed was heat-treated for 30 minutes under a degree of vacuum of 0.7 Pa and 800 ° C. When the thin film after the heat treatment was subjected to Raman spectroscopic measurement, as shown in FIG. 2, G peak and 2D peak indicating the characteristics of graphite were observed. When the thin film after the heat treatment was observed with an electron microscope, a flaky film was observed as shown in FIG. Also, Fe particles aggregated on the surface were observed. From the results of Raman spectroscopy and observation with an electron microscope, it was found that the thin film on the substrate was a graphite thin film of about 2-9 layers. This graphite thin film is formed by depositing carbon on the substrate from the thin film A by heat treatment.
次に、熱処理後の基板を、エッチング液（濃硫酸を純水で１／１０に希釈した液）を用い、室温で２０分間エッチング処理した。エッチング処理後の基板表面をラマン分光測定したところ、図４に示すように、グラファイト薄膜が基板表面に維持されていることが確認できた。また、エッチング処理後の基板表面を電子顕微鏡観察したところ、図５に示すように、Fe粒子が除去されていることが確認できた。なお、Fe粒子が取れ難い場合は、上述したエッチング処理において、超音波を印加しながらエッチングすればよい。 Next, the substrate after the heat treatment was etched at room temperature for 20 minutes using an etching solution (a solution obtained by diluting concentrated sulfuric acid to 1/10 with pure water). As a result of Raman spectroscopic measurement of the substrate surface after the etching treatment, it was confirmed that the graphite thin film was maintained on the substrate surface as shown in FIG. Moreover, when the substrate surface after the etching treatment was observed with an electron microscope, it was confirmed that Fe particles were removed as shown in FIG. If it is difficult to remove Fe particles, etching may be performed while applying ultrasonic waves in the above-described etching process.

2. Effect of Forming Method of Graphite Thin Film If the above-described method of forming a graphite thin film is used, a graphite thin film can be formed on a non-metallic substrate without performing transfer.
<Example 2>
1. Method for Forming Graphite Thin Film A substrate similar to that in Example 1 was attached to a sputtering apparatus. A Cu (metal that slightly dissolves carbon, metal catalyst) target is attached to the sputtering apparatus, and argon gas containing 10% methane (hydrocarbon) is introduced as a sputtering gas, and the degree of vacuum is set to 0.01 mbar. . Under these conditions, a thin film A having a thickness of 20 nm was formed on the above-described substrate by sputtering (physical vapor deposition method). This thin film A was a thin film containing carbon derived from methane and Cu, and contained approximately 4 atomic% of carbon.
次に、薄膜Ａを形成した基板を、真空度０．７Ｐａ、５００℃の下で、３０分間熱処理した。熱処理後の薄膜をラマン分光測定したところ、図６に示すように、グラファイトの特徴を示すGピークが見られた。また、熱処理後の薄膜を電子顕微鏡観察したところ、図７に示すように、薄片状の膜が観察された。また、表面上に凝集したCu粒子も観察された。ラマン分光結果および電子顕微鏡観察結果より、基板上の薄膜は、グラファイト薄膜であることが分かった。このグラファイト薄膜は、熱処理により、薄膜Ａから炭素が基板上に析出して形成されたものである。 Next, the substrate on which the thin film A was formed was heat-treated for 30 minutes under a degree of vacuum of 0.7 Pa and 500 ° C. When the thin film after the heat treatment was subjected to Raman spectroscopic measurement, as shown in FIG. 6, a G peak indicating the characteristics of graphite was observed. Further, when the thin film after the heat treatment was observed with an electron microscope, a flaky film was observed as shown in FIG. In addition, Cu particles aggregated on the surface were also observed. From the results of Raman spectroscopy and electron microscope observation, it was found that the thin film on the substrate was a graphite thin film. This graphite thin film is formed by depositing carbon on the substrate from the thin film A by heat treatment.
次に、熱処理後の基板を、エッチング液（濃硫酸を純水で１／１０に希釈した液）を用い、室温で４０分間エッチング処理した。エッチング処理後の基板表面をラマン分光測定したところ、図８に示すように、グラファイト薄膜が基板表面に維持されていることが確認できた。また、エッチング処理後の基板表面を電子顕微鏡観察したところ、図９に示すように、Cu粒子が除去されていることが確認できた。なお、Cu粒子が取れ難い場合は、上述したエッチング処理において、超音波を印加しながらエッチングすればよい。 Next, the substrate after the heat treatment was etched for 40 minutes at room temperature using an etching solution (a solution obtained by diluting concentrated sulfuric acid to 1/10 with pure water). When the Raman spectroscopic measurement was performed on the substrate surface after the etching treatment, it was confirmed that the graphite thin film was maintained on the substrate surface as shown in FIG. Moreover, when the substrate surface after the etching treatment was observed with an electron microscope, it was confirmed that Cu particles were removed as shown in FIG. In addition, when it is difficult to remove Cu particles, the etching may be performed while applying ultrasonic waves in the above-described etching process.

1. Method for Forming Graphite Thin Film A substrate similar to that in Example 1 was attached to a sputtering apparatus. A Ge (non-metal that slightly dissolves carbon) target was attached to the sputtering apparatus, and argon gas containing 10% methane (hydrocarbon) was introduced as a sputtering gas, and the degree of vacuum was set to 0.01 mbar. Under these conditions, a thin film A having a thickness of 20 nm was formed on the above-described substrate by sputtering (physical vapor deposition method).

次に、薄膜Ａを形成した基板を、真空度０．７Ｐａ、６００℃の下で、３０分間熱処理した。熱処理後の薄膜をラマン分光測定したところ、図１０に示すように、グラファイトの特徴を示すGピークが見られた。また、熱処理後の薄膜を電子顕微鏡観察したところ、図１１に示すように、薄片状の膜が観察された。また、表面上に凝集したGe粒子も観察された。ラマン分光結果および電子顕微鏡観察結果より、基板上の薄膜は、グラファイト薄膜であることが分かった。このグラファイト薄膜は、熱処理により、薄膜Ａから炭素が基板上に析出して形成されたものである。 Next, the substrate on which the thin film A was formed was heat-treated for 30 minutes under a degree of vacuum of 0.7 Pa and 600 ° C. When the thin film after the heat treatment was subjected to Raman spectroscopic measurement, as shown in FIG. 10, a G peak indicating the characteristics of graphite was observed. When the thin film after the heat treatment was observed with an electron microscope, a flaky film was observed as shown in FIG. Further, Ge particles aggregated on the surface were also observed. From the results of Raman spectroscopy and electron microscope observation, it was found that the thin film on the substrate was a graphite thin film. This graphite thin film is formed by depositing carbon on the substrate from the thin film A by heat treatment.
次に、熱処理後の基板を、エッチング液（濃硫酸を純水で１／１０に希釈した液）を用い、室温で４０分間エッチング処理した。エッチング処理後の基板表面をラマン分光測定したところ、グラファイト薄膜が基板表面に維持されていることが確認できた。また、エッチング処理後の基板表面を電子顕微鏡観察したところ、Ge粒子が除去されていることが確認できた。 Next, the substrate after the heat treatment was etched for 40 minutes at room temperature using an etching solution (a solution obtained by diluting concentrated sulfuric acid to 1/10 with pure water). When the Raman spectroscopic measurement was performed on the substrate surface after the etching treatment, it was confirmed that the graphite thin film was maintained on the substrate surface. Moreover, when the substrate surface after the etching treatment was observed with an electron microscope, it was confirmed that Ge particles were removed.

上記のグラファイト薄膜の形成方法を用いれば、転写を行わなくても、非金属の基板上にグラファイト薄膜を形成することができる。
＜実施例４＞
１．グラファイト薄膜の形成方法
前記実施例３と同様に、基板上に薄膜Ａを形成した。次に、薄膜Ａを形成した基板を、真空度２Ｐａ、６００℃の下で、３０分間熱処理した。熱処理後の薄膜をラマン分光測定したところ、図１２に示すように、グラファイトの特徴を示すGピークが見られた。また、熱処理後の薄膜を電子顕微鏡観察したところ、図１３に示すように、薄片状の膜が観察された。一方、Ge粒子は見られなかった。熱処理の工程において、雰囲気中の酸素とGeとが反応して酸化ゲルマニウムとなり昇華したためであると考えられる。ラマン分光結果および電子顕微鏡観察結果より、基板上の薄膜は、グラファイト薄膜であることが分かった。このグラファイト薄膜は、熱処理により、薄膜Ａから炭素が基板上に析出して形成されたものである。
2. Effect of Forming Method of Graphite Thin Film If the above-described method of forming a graphite thin film is used, a graphite thin film can be formed on a non-metallic substrate without performing transfer.
<Example 4>
1. Method for Forming Graphite Thin Film Similarly to Example 3, a thin film A was formed on a substrate. Next, the substrate on which the thin film A was formed was heat-treated for 30 minutes under a degree of vacuum of 2 Pa and 600 ° C. When the thin film after the heat treatment was subjected to Raman spectroscopic measurement, as shown in FIG. 12, a G peak indicating the characteristics of graphite was observed. When the thin film after the heat treatment was observed with an electron microscope, a flaky film was observed as shown in FIG. On the other hand, Ge particles were not seen. This is probably because oxygen and Ge in the atmosphere reacted in the heat treatment step to form germanium oxide and sublimate. From the results of Raman spectroscopy and electron microscope observation, it was found that the thin film on the substrate was a graphite thin film. This graphite thin film is formed by depositing carbon on the substrate from the thin film A by heat treatment.
