본 발명은 산화아연 단결정의 성장에 있어서 성장 속도의 이방성을 제어하여 <100> 방향으로의 성장을 증가시킬수 있는 산화아연 단결정의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 기존의 KOH와 LiOH으로 이루어진 혼합용액에 NH4Cl를 첨가한 용액을 광화제로서 사용함으로써 산화아연 벌크(bulk) 단결정을 제조하는 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for producing a zinc oxide single crystal that can increase the growth in the <100> direction by controlling the anisotropy of the growth rate in the growth of the zinc oxide single crystal, more specifically, a mixture consisting of conventional KOH and LiOH A method of producing a zinc oxide bulk single crystal by using a solution obtained by adding NH 4 Cl to a solution as a mineralizer.
산화아연 단결정은 태양전지의 투명 전극, 표면 탄성파 소자, 산화물 반도체 등의 분야에 사용되는 유용한 물질이다.Zinc oxide single crystal is a useful material used in fields such as transparent electrodes, surface acoustic wave devices, and oxide semiconductors of solar cells.
일반적으로 수열법에 의한 산화아연 단결정의 제조시 광화제로서 KOH와 LiOH의 혼합수용액을 사용하는데, 이 때 결정이 주로 <001> 방향으로만 성장하기 때문에 <001> 방향에 대한 <100> 방향의 성장속도의 비가 0.1 이하에 불과하여 벌크 단결정을 얻기 어렵다는 문제점이 있다.In general, a mixed aqueous solution of KOH and LiOH is used as a mineralizer in the production of a zinc oxide single crystal by hydrothermal method. In this case, since the crystal grows mainly in the <001> direction, the <100> direction relative to the <001> direction is used. There is a problem that it is difficult to obtain a bulk single crystal because the growth rate ratio is only 0.1 or less.
산화아연은 최근 청색 및 자외 영역에서의 LED (light emitting diode) 소자 제조에 널리 이용되는데 기존의 소자 제조에서는 사파이어 단결정 기판을 이용한 이종 에피탁시(hetero-epitaxy) 기술을 사용함으로써 성장된 박막의 내부에 결함이 많이 존재하여 제조된 소자의 발광 효율이 떨어지는 문제점이 있었다. Zinc oxide has recently been widely used in the manufacture of light emitting diode (LED) devices in the blue and ultraviolet regions. In conventional device fabrication, zinc oxide has been grown by using hetero-epitaxy technology using a sapphire single crystal substrate. There is a problem in that the luminous efficiency of the device manufactured due to the presence of a large number of defects.
이러한 문제점을 해결하는 방법으로 산화아연 단결정 기판을 사용한 동종 에피탁시(homo-epitaxy) 기술이 최근 개발되고 있으나 산화아연의 (001) 방향 성장 속도가 느려 대형의 단결정 기판을 구하기 어려운 문제점이 있다.A homo-epitaxy technique using a zinc oxide single crystal substrate has been recently developed as a method of solving such a problem, but there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain a large single crystal substrate due to the slow growth rate of (001) direction of zinc oxide.
이에 본 발명자들은 a 축 방향의 크기가 작은 주상형의 종자결정을 사용하면서도 결정 성장속도의 이방성을 제어함으로써 <100> 방향으로의 성장을 증가시킬 수 있는 산화아연 벌크 단결정의 제조방법을 개발하기 위해 계속 연구를 진행한 결과, 기존에 광화제로서 사용되는 KOH와 LiOH의 혼합수용액에 NH4Cl를 첨가함으로써 <100> 방향의 성장을 증가시킬 수 있음을 발견하여 본 발명을 완성하였다.Accordingly, the present inventors have developed a method for producing a zinc oxide bulk single crystal capable of increasing growth in the <100> direction by controlling anisotropy of crystal growth rate while using seed crystals having a columnar seed having a small size in the a-axis direction. As a result of further research, the present invention was found to be able to increase the growth in the <100> direction by adding NH 4 Cl to a mixed aqueous solution of KOH and LiOH, which is used as a mineralizer.
본 발명의 목적은 산화아연의 벌크(bulk) 단결정 제조시, <100> 방향의 성장을 증가시킬 수 있는 산화아연 단결정의 제조방법을 제공하는 것이다.It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for preparing zinc oxide single crystals which can increase the growth in the <100> direction when producing bulk single crystals of zinc oxide.
상기 목적을 달성하기 위해, 본 발명에서는 광화제로서 KOH, LiOH 및 NH4Cl 의 혼합 수열 용액의 존재 하에 산화아연 분말 소결체 및 산화아연 종자결정을 사용하여 수열법에 의해 산화아연 단결정을 제조하는 방법을 제공한다.In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a method for producing a zinc oxide single crystal by hydrothermal method using a zinc oxide powder sintered body and zinc oxide seed crystals in the presence of a mixed hydrothermal solution of KOH, LiOH and NH 4 Cl as a mineralizer.

본 발명에 따르면, 광화제로서 KOH, LiOH 및 NH4Cl 함유 수열 용액을 사용하는데, 각 성분의 농도는 예를 들면 1 내지 4 M KOH, 0.5 내지 1.5 M LiOH 및 0.5 내지 1 M NH4Cl 로 하는 것이 적합하다. 광화제 용액은 KOH 수용액에 LiOH 및 NH4Cl을 첨가함으로써 얻을 수 있다.According to the invention, hydrothermal solutions containing KOH, LiOH and NH 4 Cl are used as mineralizers, the concentration of each component being for example 1 to 4 M KOH, 0.5 to 1.5 M LiOH and 0.5 to 1 M NH 4 Cl. It is appropriate. The mineralizer solution can be obtained by adding LiOH and NH 4 Cl to an aqueous KOH solution.
본 발명에 따른 산화아연 단결정의 제조 방법은, 구체적으로 산화아연 분말 소결체를 오토클레이브 (autoclave) 형태 반응기의 하단에 장착하고 산화아연 종자 결정은 상기 반응기의 상단에 장착한 다음, 상기 반응기에 광화제 용액을 채우고, 반응기를 밀봉한 다음, 상단부는 약 330 내지 350℃, 하단부는 350 내지 370℃로 승온하고 유지시킴으로써 수행할 수 있다. 이 때 반응기의 압력은 대략 350-400 기압으로 유지한다.In the method for producing a zinc oxide single crystal according to the present invention, specifically, the zinc oxide powder sintered body is mounted at the bottom of an autoclave type reactor, and the zinc oxide seed crystal is mounted at the top of the reactor, and then the mineralizer is added to the reactor.

At this time, the pressure of the reactor is maintained at approximately 350-400 atmospheres.
이때, 상기 광화제 용액은 산화아연 분말을 약 5 내지 10 g/ℓ의 농도로 광화제 용액에 첨가한 후 예를 들면 60 내지 70 ℃로 가열함으로써 산화아연이 포화된 용액 형태로 사용하는 것이 반응기 벽면 위의 자발 핵생성에 의한 결석 현상을 억제시킬 수 있으므로 바람직하다. In this case, the mineralizer solution is used to add zinc oxide powder to the mineralizer solution at a concentration of about 5 to 10 g / ℓ and then heated to 60 to 70 ℃ for use in the form of a zinc oxide saturated solution It is preferable because it can suppress the stones due to spontaneous nucleation on the wall surface.
