Description
図1は、本実施の形態に係る半導体層の電気的欠陥濃度評価方法による評価に適した半導体素子の一例である半導体素子1の垂直断面図である。
基板10と電極13の間には、直流可変電源14により電圧を印加することができる。そして、電流計15aにより基板10を流れる電流(基板電流)を、電流計15bにより電極13を流れる電流(電極電流)を測定することができる。
以下、この半導体素子1を用いて2種類の電気的欠陥濃度評価方法について説明する。なお、以下の説明において、各部の電荷や電気容量は、単位面積当たりのものとする。
第1の方法は、電流計15aにより測定される基板電流から半導体層の電気的欠陥の濃度を求める方法である。
第2の方法は、電流計15aにより測定される基板電流と電流計15bにより測定される電極電流の差から半導体層の電気的欠陥の濃度を求める方法である。
実施例において、図1に示された構造を有する半導体素子1を、電気的欠陥濃度評価方法の試料として用いた。半導体素子1は、(111)面を主面とするSiからなる基板10と、基板10上にバッファ層11を介して形成されたGaN層12と、GaN層12に接続されたTi/Al/Ni/Au積層構造を有する電極13とを有する。GaN層12は、C(炭素)が添加されたGaN膜からなるC-GaN層12aと、C-GaN層12a上の不純物が添加されていないGaN膜からなるアンドープGaN層12bを有する。バッファ層11、C-GaN層12a、及びアンドープGaN層12bの厚さは、それぞれ3.5μm、730nm、570nmであった。また、電極13は、半径が560μm、面積が1mm2の円形の電極であった。
上記実施の形態の半導体の電気的欠陥濃度評価方法によれば、深い欠陥準位にトラップされた電荷の濃度を調べることができる。このため、上記実施の形態の半導体の電気的欠陥濃度評価方法は、深い欠陥準位を有するワイドバンドギャップ半導体、例えばバンドギャップが2.5eV以上の半導体層の電気的欠陥濃度評価方法として特に有用である。
