Abstract

本發明的目的是提供一種半導體特性出色的結晶性層疊結構體。 一種結晶性層疊結構體,其特徵在於,具備底層基板,以及直接或介由其他層設置於該底層基板上的結晶性氧化物薄膜,且該結晶性氧化物薄膜具有剛玉結構;其中,所述結晶性氧化物薄膜的表面粗糙度Ra是0.1μm以下。

Description

結晶性層疊結構體,半導體裝置
本發明涉及結晶性層疊結構體以及半導體裝置。
在被成膜樣品上形成結晶性高的氧化鎵系薄膜的方法有:使用霧CVD(Mist CVD)法等水微粒(water fine particles)的成膜方法。在該方法中,將乙醯丙酮鎵(Gallium acetylacetonate)等鎵化合物溶解於鹽酸等酸中而製成原料溶液。將該原料溶液微粒化,由此形成原料微粒,將該原料微粒以載氣向被成膜樣品的成膜面供給,使原料霧(mist)反應而在成膜面上形成薄膜,由此在被成膜樣品上形成結晶性高的氧化鎵系薄膜。
為了使用氧化鎵系薄膜而形成半導體設備,控制氧化鎵系薄膜的導電性是必要的。專利文獻1及非專利文獻1[Electrical Conductive Corundum-Structured α-Ga2O3 Thin Films on Sapphire with Tin-Doping Grown by Spray-Assisted Mist Chemical Vapor Deposition(Japanese Journal of Applied Physics 51(2012)070203)]中,公開了一種向α-氧化鎵薄膜摻入雜質的技術(Technologies for doping)。
但是,根據專利文獻1及非專利文獻1方法,雖然可以形成導電性出色的α-氧化鎵薄膜,不過存在膜表面不平滑的特有問題,作為用於半導體裝置來說還不能很好地滿足使用。另外,為了使膜表面平滑,可以考慮進行蝕刻法等表面處理,不過出現的問題是:薄膜受損,半導體特性損壞。
本發明的目的是提供一種半導體特性出色的結晶性層疊結構
本發明的另一目的在於提供所述結晶性層疊結構體的制備方法。
本發明的再一目的在於提供一種半導體裝置。
本發明人為了達成上述目進行了認真研究,發現藉由使用異常粒抑制劑的摻雜(doping)處理,可以得到結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜表面平滑之結晶性層疊結構體,進一步進行反復研究從完成本發明。
本發明提供一種結晶性層疊結構體,具備底層基板(base substrate),以及直接或介由其他層設置於該底層基板上的結晶性氧化物薄膜,且該結晶性氧化物薄膜具有剛玉結構,所述結晶性氧化物薄膜的表面粗糙度(Ra)是0.1μm以下。
就本發明的結晶性層疊結構體而言,結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜的表面平滑,半導體特性出色。

【圖2】是本發明的實施例中使用的霧CVD裝置的構成圖。
本發明的結晶性層疊結構體,具備底層基板,以及直接或介由(隔著)其他層設置於該底層基板上的結晶性氧化物薄膜,且該結晶性氧化物薄膜具有剛玉結構,所述結晶性氧化物薄膜的表面粗糙度(Ra)是0.1μm以下。所述表面粗糙度(Ra)如果是0.1μm以下的話就沒有特別限定,在本發明中優選為30nm以下,更加優選為10nm以下。另外表面粗糙度(Ra)是根據JIS B0601測得的算術平均粗糙度值。
所謂「結晶性層疊結構體」,是含有一層以上的結晶層的結構體,也可以含有結晶層之外的層(例如:無定形層(Amorphous layer))。並且結晶層優選為單晶層,也可以是多結晶層。所述結晶性氧化物薄膜可以是成膜後進行退火處理的,藉由退火處理,在結晶性薄膜和歐姆電極(Ohmic electrode)之間也可以形成歐姆電極氧化的金屬氧化物薄膜。歐姆電極有例如銦或鈦等。
<底層基板>
就底層基板而言,如果成為上述結晶性氧化物薄膜的支持體的話就沒有特別限定,通常為絕緣體基板,本發明中優選為具有剛玉結構的基板。具有剛玉結構的基板有例如藍寶石基板(例如:c面藍寶石基板(c-plane sapphire substrate)),或α型氧化鎵基板等。另外,不具有剛玉結構的底層基板有例如具有六方晶結構(hexagonal structure)的基板(例如:6H-SiC基板,ZnO基板,GaN基板)等。優選為在具有六方晶結構的基板上,直接或介由其他層(例如:緩衝層)形成結晶性氧化物薄膜。底層基板的厚度在本發明中沒有特別限定,優選為50~2000μm,更優選為200~800μm。
<結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜>
就結晶性氧化物薄膜而言,如果是具有剛玉結構的結晶性氧化物的膜的話就沒有特別限定,就本發明中的所述結晶性氧化物薄膜而言,磁性金屬(例如Fe,Co,Ni等)不作為含有的主要成分而非磁性金屬(例如Ga,Ti,V,In等)作為主要成分含有,其半導體特性更加出色,是優選的。並且,所述結晶性氧化物薄膜,優選為單晶,也可以為多結晶。就所述結晶性氧化物薄膜的組成而言,優選為所述薄膜中含有的金屬元素中的鎵,銦,鋁及鐵共計的原子比(相對於所有金屬元素)為0.5以上,更加優選為金屬元素中鎵的原子比為0.5以上。該優選的原子比具體而言是例如0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1,也可以在上述例舉的任意2個數值間的範圍內。
原子比為所述優選的原子比的話,可以更適當地使上述原料溶液中的 異常粒抑制劑的功能得以發揮,可以更加降低所述結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜的表面粗糙度。
另外,就結晶性氧化物薄膜的組成而言,例如優選為InXAlYGaZFeVO3(0X2.5,0Y2.5,0Z2.5,0V2.5,X+Y+Z+V=1.5~2.5),1Z。更加優選為X,Y,Z以及V,分別具體為例如0,0.01,0.05,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1,1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5,1.6,1.7,1.8,1.9,2,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5。另外X+Y+Z+V優選為,具體而言例如是1.5,1.6,1.7,1.8,1.9,2,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5。另外所述X,Y,Z,V,以及X+Y+Z+V也可以分別在此例舉的任意2個數值的範圍內。另外上述一般式,表示具有剛玉結構的網格點上的原子組成,沒有表示為「X+Y+Z+V=2」,這也是明顯的,也可以含有非化學計量氧化物氧化物,也可以含有金屬不足氧化物(metal-deficient oxide),氧不足氧化物(oxygen-deficient oxide)。
結晶性氧化物薄膜,可以直接形成於底層基板上,也可以介由其他層而形成。其他層有例如其他組成的剛玉結構結晶薄膜、剛玉結構以外的結晶薄膜或無定形(amorphous)薄膜等。
就結晶性氧化物薄膜而言,在其至少一部分(更具體而言是厚度方向的一部分)摻入雜質是優選的,結構可以是單層結構,也可以是多層結構。為多層結構時,結晶性氧化物薄膜由例如絕緣性薄膜和導電性薄膜層疊而 構成,不過本發明不受其限定。另外,由絕緣性薄膜和導電性薄膜層疊而構成多層結構時,絕緣性薄膜和導電性薄膜的組成,可以相同也可以相互不同。絕緣性薄膜和導電性薄膜的厚度比沒有特別限定,優選為(導電性薄膜的厚)/(絕緣性薄膜的厚)的比為0.001~100,更加優選為0.1~5。進一步優選的比具體而言例如是0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1,1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5,1.6,1.7,1.8,1.9,2,3,4,5,也可以是在此例舉的任意2個值間的範圍內。
導電性薄膜摻入賦予導電性的雜質也是可以的。就雜質的摻入濃度而言,根據對於導電性膜所要求的特性而適當的決定,例如為1E15/cm3~1E20/cm3。另外,對於摻入的雜質種類沒有特別限定,例如為由Ge,Sn,Si,Ti,Zr及Hf中的至少1種組成的摻雜劑等。就絕緣性薄膜而言,通常不需要摻入雜質,不過也可以在不呈現導電性的程度內摻入雜質。
結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜的厚度沒有特別限定,可以是不到1μm,也可以是1μm以上,不過本發明中所述結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜的膜厚優選為1μm以上,更加優選為1~20μm。在這樣優選的膜厚下,不僅不損害半導體特性,表面平滑性更加出色,而且退火處理時可以降低電阻,可以得到更好的半導體特性。
就本發明的結晶性層疊結構體而言,將原料溶液微粒化而生成原料微 粒,將該原料微粒以載氣向成膜室供給,在配置於所述成膜室內的底層基板上形成具有剛玉結構的結晶性氧化物薄膜時,於所述結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜使用異常粒抑制劑而進行摻雜處理,由此製造出所述結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜的表面粗糙度(Ra)為0.1μm以下。在本發明中優選為:在所述原料溶液中含有異常粒抑制劑而進行摻雜處理。藉由在所述原料溶液中含有異常粒抑制劑而進行摻雜處理,可以高效率地製得結晶性層疊結構體,且結晶性層疊結構體具備工業上有益的表面粗糙度為0.1μm以下的結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜。
異常粒抑制劑是指,具有在成膜過程中抑制產生副產物粒子(grains as byproducts)之效果,如果可以使結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜表面粗糙度為0.1μm以下的話就沒有特別限定,在本發明中優選由Br以及I中的至少1種組成的異常粒抑制劑。為了穩定地形成膜,於薄膜中導入異常粒抑制劑Br或I的話,可以抑制由異常粒成長導致的表面粗糙度的惡化。另外本發明中,異常粒抑制劑最優選為Br,使用Br使得特別是含有的主要成分為α-Ga2O3的結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜表面可以非常平滑。異常粒抑制劑的添加量如果可以抑制異常粒的話就沒有特別限定,優選為在原料溶液中體積比為50%以下,更加優選為30%以下,最優選為10~20%的範圍內。在這樣的優選的範圍內使用異常粒抑制劑,可以使得異常粒抑制劑功能得以發揮,由此抑制結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜的異常粒的成長,使表面平滑。
對於結晶性氧化物薄膜的形成方法沒有特別限定,可以是將例如鎵化 合物,銦化合物,鋁化合物以及鐵化合物,對應於結晶性氧化物薄膜的組成而進行組合,將得到的組合原料化合物進行酸化反應,從而可以形成。由此,在底層基板上可以從底層基板側結晶生長出結晶性氧化物薄膜。鎵化合物以及銦化合物也可以是:將鎵金屬或銦金屬作為起始材料在剛要成膜之前變為鎵化合物及銦化合物。鎵化合物,銦化合物,鋁化合物以及鐵化合物有例如:各個金屬的有機金屬絡合物(例如:乙醯丙酮(Acetylacetonate)絡合物)或鹵化物(氟化,氯化,溴化或碘化物)。
更具體而言,就結晶性氧化物薄膜而言,從溶解有原料化合物的原料溶液生成原料微粒,將該原料微粒向成膜室供應,在所述成膜室內使所述原料化合物反應,由此可以得以形成。原料溶液的溶劑優選為水,過氧化氫水(hydrogen peroxide water),有機溶劑。如果向薄膜摻雜雜質時,在摻雜劑原料的存在下,使上述原料化合物進行氧化反應即可。摻雜劑原料優選為包含於原料溶液中,且與原料化合物一起被微粒化。
摻雜劑原料有例如:摻入的雜質之金屬單體或化合物(例如鹵化物,氧化物)等。為了控制導電性有Ge,Sn,Si,Ti,Zr,Hf等n型摻雜劑,不過不受其限定。導入異常粒抑制劑Br或I的10倍以上的n型摻雜劑使得載體密度(Carrier density)容易控制。在本發明中,需要使異常粒抑制劑的功能得以發揮,所以就摻雜劑原料而言,通常使用與異常粒抑制劑不同之物。
在本發明中,所述結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜中的所述異常粒抑制劑的含量優選為3E+15~7E+18(atoms/cc),更加優選為3E+15~3E+18(atoms/cc),最優選為1E+16~2E+18(atoms/cc)。
在本發明中,也可以在成膜後進行退火處理。退火處理的溫度沒有特別限定,不過優選為600℃以下,更加優選為550℃以下,最優選為500℃以下。在這樣優選的溫度下進行退火處理,可以更適當地降低上述結晶性氧化物半導體薄膜的電阻。就退火處理的處理時間而言,如果不阻礙本發明的目的就沒有特別限定,優選為10秒~10小時,更加優選為10秒~1小時。
<結晶性層疊結構體的構成例子>
本實施方式的結晶性層疊結構體及使用它的半導體裝置的合適的例子如圖1所示。在圖1的例子中,底層基板1上形成結晶性氧化物薄膜3。就結晶性氧化物薄膜3而言,從底層基板1側開始按順序層積絕緣性薄膜3a和導電性薄膜3b而被構成。在導電性薄膜3b上形成柵極絕緣膜(Gate insulator film)5。在柵極絕緣膜5上形成柵電極(Gate electrode)7。並且在導電性薄膜3b上,夾住柵電極7,形成源極和漏極電極9(Source and drain electrodes)。以這樣的構成,藉由施加於柵電極7的柵極電壓可以控制形成於導電性薄膜3b的耗盡層(Depletion layer),電晶體工作(FET設備)成為可能。
使用本實施方式的結晶性層疊結構體所形成的半導體裝置有例如MIS或HEMT等電晶體、TFT、使用半導體-金屬連接的肖特基勢壘二極體(Schottky barrier diode)、與其他P層組合的PN或PIN二極體、或發受光元件(Light emitting and receiving element)。
【實施例】
以下說明本發明的實施例。以下的實施例中,根據霧CVD法形成摻入雜質的結晶性氧化物薄膜,不過本發明不受這些實施例的限定。
1.CVD裝置
首先以圖2說明本實施例中使用的CVD裝置19。CVD裝置19具備:安置有底層基板等被成膜樣品20的樣品台21、供給載氣的載氣源22、對於從載氣源22送出的調節載氣流量進行調節的流量調節閥23、收納原料溶液24a的霧發生源24、容納水25a的容器25、安裝於容器25底面的超聲振盪子26、由內徑40mm的石英管組成的成膜室27、以及設置於膜室27周邊的加熱器28。樣品台21由石英組成,安置被成膜樣品20的面從水平面開始傾斜。成膜室27和樣品台21均由石英製得,由此抑制了:形成於被成膜樣品20上的薄膜內混入裝置帶來的雜質。
2.原料溶液的製造
調製溴化鎵和氧化鍺水溶液,使得鍺相對於鎵的原子比為1:0.05。這時為了促進溶解氧化鍺,含有體積比為10%的48%溴化氫溶液。
另外,分別使用碘化鎵以及碘化氫溶液以代替溴化鎵以及溴化氫溶液,其他條件與上述相同,調整水溶液。
2.成膜準備
接著,作為被成膜樣品20,邊長為10mm的正方形且厚600μm的c面藍寶石基板被設置於樣品台21上,使加熱器28工作,使成膜室27內的溫度上升到500℃。接著,開啟流量調節閥23,從載氣源22向成膜室27內供給載氣,成膜室27的氣體環境被載氣充分置換後,調節載氣流量為5L/min。載氣用的是氧氣。
3.薄膜形成
接著,使超聲振盪子26以2.4MHz的頻率振盪,該振盪通過水25a傳播到原料溶液24a,由此使原料溶液24a微粒化而生成原料微粒。該原料微粒由載氣被導入成膜室27內,在成膜室27內反應,在被成膜樣品20的成膜面中的CVD反應使得薄膜形成於被成膜樣品20上。
4.評估
對於形成的薄膜的相進行鑒定。該鑒定使用薄膜用XRD衍射裝置,以從15度到95度的角度進行2 θ/ω掃描。使用CuK α線進行檢測。該結果是:形成的薄膜是具有剛玉結構的α-氧化鎵。
將直徑0.5mm的銦電極按照1mm的端子間距離進行壓接(pressure-bonded)後,在氮氣環境下進行500℃下20分鐘的退火處理。退 火後進行XRD測量,確認結果如下:不發生相變,維持α-氧化鎵的結晶結構。
另外本實施例的薄膜的膜厚以干涉式膜厚計進行測量。
6.表面粗糙度
得到厚度1.5μm的α-氧化鎵薄膜樣品,使用顯微鏡測量含有以及不含有異常粒抑制劑(Br、I)的樣品之表面粗糙度。如表1所示,不含異常粒抑制劑的樣品凹凸得厲害;然而含有異常粒抑制劑的情況為:顯示為幾nm到幾十nm的Ra值,且沒有觀察到異常粒,表面平滑性出色的厚膜。
另外作為比較例,以CMP法對沒有異常粒抑制劑的α-氧化鎵薄膜樣品(厚1μm以下)進行表面處理的情況下,薄膜消失,藍寶石基板呈現出全部露出的狀態。
(試驗例)
與上述同樣,得到具有異常粒抑制劑的各種樣品分別約10個。針對得的樣品,使用SIMS分析膜中的異常粒抑制劑的含有量(原子比)之範圍,結 果如表2所示。
本發明的結晶性層疊結構體可以用於MIS或HEMT等電晶體、TFT、使用半導體-金屬連接的肖特基勢壘二極體(Schottky barrier diode)、與其他P層組合的PN或PIN二極體、或發受光元件(Light emitting and receiving element)等半導體裝置中。
