Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a thin film of high quality at lower temperature than a conventional one at a high growing velocity thereby to be able to largely reduce a growing time by a gas source ALE method by using one or more types of H2S2, H2S3, H2S4 as compound gas containing group VI element. CONSTITUTION:When one or more types of compound gas containing group 11 element and one or more types of compound gas containing group VI element are simultaneously or alternately introduced onto a substrate to form a thin compound film made of the group II and VI elements, one or more of H2S2, H2S3, H2S4 are used as compound gas containing group VI element. For example, zinc diethyl 13 is used as the group II source, H2S2 15 is used as group VI source, and a ZnS film is formed by a gas source ALE method on a crystalline substrate 9 of GaAs or Si or an amorphous substrate made of glass. Since H2S2, H2S3, H2S4 called 'hydrogen polysulfide' feasibly radiate sulfur by heating or light irradiating, they are used as sulfur supply gas source to obtain a thin film of high quality at lower temperature than a conventional one at a high growing velocity.

FF-VI group compounds such as ZnS and Zn5e have long been attracting attention as electroluminescent materials. In recent years, the quality of I[-Vf group compound thin films has been improved due to advances in thin film growth techniques such as MBE, MOCVD, and ALE methods. As a result, applications to devices have been actively investigated. Among new film forming techniques, MOCVD and gas source ALE are attracting particular attention because they are relatively easy to increase in area. M
The OCV D method is a method of forming a film by vaporizing an organic metal liquid or solid and thermally decomposing it on the growth surface of a substrate.

Generally, since this MOCVD method is a low-temperature growth method, it has the characteristics that there is little contamination of impurities from the tube wall, etc., and that intrinsic defects such as pores are less likely to occur. For this reason, this growth technique is attracting attention as a means of forming thin films of Group II and Group VI compounds having high quality crystallinity.

For forming a thin film of a group II and VI compound by the MOCVD method, a group (1) alkyl compound and (2) a hydrogen hydride are generally used.

On the other hand, the principle of the ALE method is to alternately supply constituent elements of the compound to be obtained or compounds containing the elements, and deposit monoatomic layers one by one to form a compound thin film. AL
The E method is a film forming method that actively utilizes monoatomic layer adsorption of compound constituent elements.

In order to form a monoatomic adsorption layer, it is thought that it can be obtained by setting the substrate temperature to a relatively high temperature and reevaporating atoms (or molecules) in the second and higher layers that do not contribute to chemical bonding with the underlying layer. ing.

In the ALE method, as described above, manufacturing conditions are selected in which only a monoatomic layer is adsorbed and deposited. The ALE method for forming a compound thin film under such conditions is not dependent on the amount of introduced substance and can form a compound thin film on the order of atomic layers over a wide area. The film thickness can be precisely controlled by the number of cycles of alternating introduction of substances. Further, when the ALE method is used, a polycrystalline thin film with a large dalein size can be obtained even on an amorphous substrate, and its application to a thin film El-element is being considered.

Among the thin films of group (1)-(2) compounds, ZnS and its mixed crystal ZnS x S e )-x are important as materials for blue light emitting devices or thin film electroluminescent devices. Conventionally, an alkyl compound such as dimethylzinc has been used as a group III source. This alkyl compound has 10
Decomposes at low temperatures between 0 and 200°C. On the other hand, among the group (III) sources, H2S, diethyl sulfur, dimethyl sulfur, thiophene, etc. are used as sulfur sources. but,

For this reason, the rate of sulfur incorporation into the film is low, and the partial pressure of the sulfur source or the amount introduced must be increased compared to the partial pressure of the group II source. In the MOCVD method,
The film formation rate is determined by the supply amount of the sulfur source, and the temperature is 200°C.
At a growth temperature of 100%, the film formation rate decreased significantly. on the other hand,
In the ALE method, the supply amount or supply time of the sulfur source had to be set longer than the time for introducing the group III source.

For this reason, the process time is extremely long in the gas source ALE method in which a group Ⅰ source and a group Ⅱ source are introduced alternately. Therefore, increasing the rate of sulfur incorporation into the film,
It is highly desirable to shorten the process time. Increasing the supply amount of the sulfur source is disadvantageous in the following respects. (2) In the MOCVD method, the uniformity of gas mixing with the (2) group source deteriorates. (2) In gas source ALE, impurities are introduced into the film due to the long gas switching time, which deteriorates the quality of the film. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a sufficiently high sulfur concentration on the growth surface with a small amount of sulfur source.
This was difficult with conventional technology.
