Abstract
The single crystal growth method according to the present invention has a density of 0.5 g / m 3 to 1 g / m 3 and is characterized by growing a single crystal using a raw material in which Si powder is mixed with SiC powder.
Therefore, according to the present invention, a semi insulating single crystal can be easily manufactured. That is, a semi insulating single crystal having a carrier concentration of 1 × 10 16 or less and high transmittance can be produced. In the case of such semi-insulating single crystal, the resistance is large, and the circuit or the wiring can be prevented from being energized in the highly integrated circuit or the nano-width wiring.
Description
The present invention relates to a single crystal growth method and a single crystal raw material, and relates to a single crystal growth method and a single crystal raw material for growing a semi insulating single crystal.
As Si used as a representative semiconductor device material shows physical limitations, broadband semiconductor materials such as SiC, GaN, AlN, and ZnO are in the spotlight as next-generation semiconductor device materials. Here, SiC has excellent thermal stability and excellent oxidation resistance compared to GaN, AlN, and ZnO. In addition, SiC has an excellent thermal conductivity of about 4.6 W / cm ℃, and has the advantage that can be produced as a large-diameter substrate of 2 inches or more in diameter, has been spotlighted compared to substrates such as GaN, AlN and ZnO.
On the other hand, in order to solve the problem that the circuit becomes highly integrated and the width of the wiring is reduced to nano size, the current between the circuits is applied, a semi-insulating single crystal is used as the substrate. Here, semi-insulating single crystal refers to a single crystal having a carrier concentration of 1 × 10 16 or less. In the case of general SiC single crystal substrates, which are not semi-insulated, the conductivity is strong, so that current between circuits is energized.
In addition, conventionally, SiC single crystals were produced using SiC powders of yellow-green color. However, when manufacturing a single crystal substrate using the SiC powder as described above, there is a disadvantage that the transmittance is low. In addition, the carrier concentration of the single crystal can be inferred through the transmittance. The lower the transmittance, the higher the carrier concentration, making it difficult to produce a semi-insulating single crystal. In order to solve this problem, conventionally, vanadium (Vanadium) powder is mixed with SiC powder, and a semi-insulating single crystal is manufactured using this as a raw material. However, the difference between the sublimation temperature of vanadium (Vanadium) and the sublimation temperature of SiC is large, there is a problem that the vanadium is not uniformly doped in the single crystal. As such, if vanadium is unevenly doped in a single crystal, charge mobility is reduced, resulting in a problem of deterioration of product characteristics.
One technical problem of the present invention is to provide a single crystal growth method and a single crystal raw material for growing a semi insulating single crystal.

In addition, as described above, in order to grow a semi-insulating single crystal, the Si powder is included in an amount of 1 wt% to 5 wt%. Here, the single crystal in semi-insulating state has a carrier concentration of 1 × 10 16 / cm 3 It means the following single crystal. For example, if the Si powder is added below 1 wt%, semi-insulating single crystals cannot be grown. On the other hand, when the Si powder is added in excess of 5wt%, Si is excessively added so that Si is sublimed at low temperature during single crystal growth, causing defects, that is, polymorphism or polycrystal. In this embodiment, the SiC powder is used as a raw material in which 1wt% to 5wt% of Si powder is added.

Hereinafter, a single crystal growth method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1.
In an embodiment, 6H-SiC single crystals are grown on
Subsequently, the
As described above, when single crystals are grown by using a raw material in which Si is excessively formed in SiC, the single crystals according to the embodiment have higher transmittance, lower carrier concentration, and higher resistance than conventional single crystals. In this case, as described above, the single crystal according to the embodiment exhibits semi insulating properties having a carrier concentration of 1 × 10 16 / cm 3 or less. In addition, the single crystal according to the embodiment has a high resistance of 1 × 10 5 dBm or more.
In the following, the characteristics of the single crystal prepared using the raw material according to the comparative example and the single crystal manufactured using the raw material according to the embodiment are compared with reference to 4a to 7b. In this case, the single crystal according to the embodiment has a density of 1 g / m 3 to 3 g / m 3 , and is grown using SiC powder using a raw material having 1 wt% to 5 w% of Si powder. In addition, the single crystal according to the comparative example has a density of 1 g / m 3 to 3 g / m 3 , and was grown using SiC powder as a raw material. In Comparative Example, nitrogen (N 2 ) is mixed and doped during single crystal growth.
4A is an XRD graph of a single crystal in an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4B is an XRD graph of a single crystal according to a comparative example. Referring to FIG. 4A, in the case of the first single crystal grown using the raw material according to the embodiment, a peak of Si appears between 27 ° and 30 °, and a peak of αC Si between 34 ° and 78 ° appears. This is because single crystals were grown using a raw material in which Si powder was added to SiC powder. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4A, a single crystal containing SiC and Si can be produced. Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 2B, in the case of the second single crystal grown using the raw material according to the comparative example, the SiC peak of the a phase appears at 34 ° to 76 °. However, the peak of Si does not appear. This is because, in the comparative example, the raw material including only SiC powder was used instead of the raw material including Si powder as in the example.
5A is a photograph showing a single crystal according to an embodiment, and FIG. 5B is a photograph showing a single crystal according to a comparative example. 6 is a graph showing transmittances of single crystals according to Examples and single crystals according to Comparative Examples.
First, referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the single crystal according to the comparative example has a higher transmittance than the single crystal according to the embodiment. That is, as shown in Figure 6, the transmittance of the single crystal according to the embodiment at a wavelength of 430nm to 800nm is 60% to 65%, the transmittance of the single crystal according to the comparative example is 50% to 59%. That is, the transmittance of the single crystal according to the embodiment is higher than that of the single crystal according to the comparative example. This density than the comparative example the case of the embodiment, because hayeotgi using raw materials of low 0.5g / m 3 to about 1g / m 3. That is, a large number of pores are generated between the particles of the raw material having a low density, and oxygen penetrates into the pores of the raw material, resulting in a single crystal raw material having high oxygen saturation. Due to such high oxygen saturation, the single crystal according to the embodiment has a higher transmittance than the single crystal raw material according to the comparative example. In the graph of the transmittance of the single crystal according to the comparative example, a sudden change in the transmittance was observed at 570 nm to 700 nm. That is, as the wavelength increases from 570 nm to 630 nm, the transmittance rapidly decreases from 58% to 50%, and as the wavelength increases from 630 nm to 700 nm, the transmittance rapidly increases from 50% to 57%. Such rapid change in transmittance means that nitrogen (N 2 ) is incorporated into the single crystal during single crystal growth according to a comparative example. When nitrogen (N 2 ) is mixed, there is a problem that the transmittance of the single crystal is lowered. Therefore, the transmittance according to the embodiment in which nitrogen (N 2 ) is not mixed during the single crystal growth is higher than that of the single crystal according to the comparative example. The transmittance data can be inferred that the carrier concentration of the single crystal according to the embodiment is lower than the carrier concentration of the single crystal according to the comparative example. On the other hand, in the transmittance graph of the single crystal according to the embodiment, there is no sudden change in the transmittance. Through this, it can be seen that nitrogen is not mixed during single crystal growth according to the embodiment.
FIG. 7 is a graph illustrating a Raman spectrum of a single crystal according to an embodiment of the present invention and a single crystal according to a comparative example.
Referring to the Raman spectrum shown in FIG. 7, two peaks appear in the wavelength range of 50 nm to 800 nm, and one peak appears in the wavelength range of 950 nm to 975 nm. In this case, each of the two peaks within the wavelength of 750 nm to 800 nm is a peak in which the lattice of the single crystal vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the electromagnetic wave, and a peak in the wavelength of 950 nm to 975 nm is the peak at which the lattice of the single crystal vibrates horizontally in the electromagnetic wave. The position of these three peaks means that the single crystal according to the embodiment and the single crystal according to the comparative example are 6H-SiC single crystals. In addition, the electrical properties can be known from the intensity of the Raman spectrum. The lower the carrier concentration, the higher the intensity and the sharper the shape of the peak. On the contrary, the higher the carrier concentration, the lower the intensity and the morphology of the peak is gentle. In addition, when the carrier concentration is 1 × 10 16 / cm 3 or less, it is referred to as semiintrinsic single crystal. Referring to FIG. 7, the carrier concentration of the single crystal according to the embodiment is 5 × 10 16 / cm 3 , and the carrier concentration of the single crystal according to the comparative example is 5.6 × 10 18 / cm 3 . Thus, the single crystal to which 1wt% to 5wt% of Si is added has the characteristics of a semicrystalline single crystal, that is, the single crystal according to the comparative example does not have the characteristics of the semicrystalline single crystal. In addition, the single crystal according to the embodiment has a high resistance of 1 × 10 5 Ωcm or more, but the single crystal according to the comparative example has a low resistance of 0.1 Ωcm or less. Therefore, the single crystal according to the embodiment can be easily used in an integrated circuit and an electric device requiring a nano-sized wiring. However, when the single crystal according to the comparative example is applied to an integrated circuit or an electric element requiring a nano-width wiring, there is a problem that the circuit or wiring may be energized. The single crystal wafer according to the embodiment is more transparent than the single crystal wafer according to the comparative example. And the single crystal according to the comparative example is green.
Such a semi-insulated single crystal wafer can be used as a substrate of an electronic device, for example, MEFEST, which requires highly integrated circuits and nano-sized wiring.
