Description
本出願は、2019年11月5日出願の日本出願第2019-200738号に基づく優先権を主張し、前記日本出願に記載された全ての記載内容を援用するものである。
III族窒化物系の半導体素子の多くは、基板上にエピタキシャル成長した半導体層を備える。半導体層の性能を把握する為には、半導体層のシート抵抗値を測定することが有効である。シート抵抗値は、半導体素子の動作特性(例えば最大順方向ドレイン電流Ifmaxなど)と高い相関を有するからである。シート抵抗値の測定は、例えば渦電流法により行われる。半導体素子の性能を正確に把握するためには、シート抵抗値を精度良く測定することが望ましい。しかしながら、半導体層を成長して成長炉から基板を取り出すと、成長炉外の環境に含まれる種々の物質がIII族原子(例えばGa)と結合する。これらの物質は次第にIII族原子から離れ、代わりに酸素原子がIII族原子に結合する。従って、半導体層の表面の酸化度合いは、最初は低く、時間と共に徐々に増加する。シート抵抗値は半導体層の表面の酸化度合いに依存するので、半導体層のシート抵抗値を精度良く測定するためには、半導体層の成長した基板を成長炉外に取り出した後、半導体層を長時間(経験的には48時間程度)放置し、十分に酸化が進んでシート抵抗値が安定したのちに測定する必要がある。このことは、生産リードタイムの長時間化を招き、生産効率が低下する要因となる。
本開示によれば、エピタキシャル基板のシート抵抗値をより短い時間で安定させることができる。
最初に、本開示の実施形態を列記して説明する。本開示の一実施形態に係るエピタキシャル基板の製造方法は、III族窒化物半導体層を基板上にエピタキシャル成長させる工程と、基板を成長炉から取り出す工程と、酸素を含む雰囲気にIII族窒化物半導体層の表面を晒しつつ、表面に紫外光を照射する工程と、III族窒化物半導体層のシート抵抗値を測定する工程と、を備える。
本開示のエピタキシャル基板の製造方法の具体例を、以下に図面を参照しつつ説明する。なお、本発明はこれらの例示に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。以下の説明では、図面の説明において同一の要素には同一の符号を付し、重複する説明を省略する。
