When the nitride semiconductor continues to grow beyond the upper end face of the mask 13, each nitride semiconductor crystal 15 will pass through each window 4 and grow laterally on the upper face of each selective growth mask 13. The nitride semiconductor 15 grown in the lateral direction is different from the nitride semiconductor grown in the vertical direction in the bottom layer 12. The crystal defects of the bottom layer 12 are covered by the selective growth mask, so the crystal defects of the bottom layer 12 are difficult to transfer.

Similarly, when a sapphire substrate having an A plane as the main plane is used, for example, when the ORF plane is configured as the R plane, a plurality of individual line masks extending parallel to each other are formed in the vertical direction of the R plane. The line mask tends to grow in the width direction, so nitride semiconductor crystals with fewer crystal defects can be grown.

Therefore, when forming a plurality of parallel individual line masks extending in the vertical direction of the (⑴) plane, adjacent vaporized semiconductor crystals are integrated with each other on the top of the selective growth mask 13 to form nitride semiconductors with few crystal growth defects. Crystals. < Growth of gaseous semiconductor crystals > The nitride semiconductor crystals grown by the present invention can use a gaseous Group 3 element source and a gaseous gas source in order to communicate with any known MOVPE, MDE, HVPE, etc. of the nitride semiconductor growth method. All methods can make it grow. It is more desirable that the nitride semiconductor crystal be grown at MovpE 'in the early stage and then grown at MOVEE4 HVPE. Especially, as described in detail later, nitride semiconductor crystals are initially grown by MOVPE, and then grown by HVPE to be thicker. When growing a nitride semiconductor with MOVPE, it is desirable to adjust the molar ratio of the nitrogen source gas to the Group 3 source gas (nitrogen source / 3 group source molar ratio, hereinafter referred to as the v / m ratio) to 2000 or less. The ideal gas source / 3 family source molar ratio is below 1 800, and the more ideal nitrogen source / 3 family source molar ratio is below 1500. The lower limit of the molar ratio of the nitrogen source / 3 family source is not particularly limited as long as it is above the stoichiometric ratio, but it is preferably 10 or more, more preferably 30 or more, and most preferably 50 or more. When the value of the molar ratio exceeds 2000, a triangle-shaped nitride semiconductor is grown from the window 14, and as a result, the defects will grow along with it. Therefore, fewer crystal defects will stop on the way, and the number of long-term crystal sinks will increase. When the molar ratio of the nitrogen source and the / 3 group source is adjusted below 2000, each crystal 15 grows in each window 丨 4, and the side is roughly dimensional ------------ ^-(Please read the back (Note 4 '' on this page), ιτη printed by the Consumer Standards Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 17

Description of the Invention () Hold the surface perpendicular to the upper surface of the growth mask selection, and grow laterally from the upper surface of the growth mask 13 to the left and right. The same vertical surfaces of the grown adjacent crystals will be in contact on the selective growth mask Π, and these crystals will be integrated into one body. Therefore, on the upper surface of the selective growth mask, crystal defects easily stop halfway. In addition, crystal defects elongated from the window 14 are also easily stopped. Therefore, nitride semiconductor crystals with less crystal sinking can be grown. MOVPE is particularly desirable when performed under reduced pressure of 50 to 400 torr. In MOVPE, the nitrogen source gas is, for example, a hydrogen gas such as ammonia, hydrazine, or the like. The Group 3 source gas is organic aluminum gas or organic indium gas such as trimethylgallium (hereinafter referred to as TMI). HVPE is also used to grow nitride semiconductor crystals.

In HVPE, the growth of nitride semiconductor crystals is several times faster than that of MOVPE. Therefore, a nitride semiconductor, such as 300 μm, can be grown in a few hours. In the present invention, although the nitride semiconductor crystal is related to the selection of the width of the growth mask ', it is grown at a thickness of 1 μm or more, and it is currently desired to be 5 mm or more, and most preferably a thickness of 10 μm or more. This is to make the nitride semiconductor crystal cover the lower limit of the thickness of the nitride semiconductor crystal thickness on the selective growth mask. If the thickness is less than 1 μm, the grown nitride semiconductor crystal will be difficult to be deposited on the selective growth mask.

Under the condition that the nitride semiconductor dry conductor is difficult to grow in the lateral direction ', it is difficult to make the crystal defects 、, 丨, and trap v. Although the upper limit of the crystal thickness of the nitride semiconductor to be grown is JI, ..., and the type is limited, when the crystal is grown by MOVPE, it is preferable to be 70 or less. If it grows thicker than 70, the growth time will be too long, and the surface of the nitride semiconductor crystals will have coarse chains, and the growth mask will tend to be easily decomposed, which is not a good thing. In the present invention, when it is to be grown to a substrate that can support a gaseous semiconductor device, its gaseous semiconductor crystals (for example, Crystal 16, or Crystal Π, Crystal Π 6, Crystal 76) are pure gas. The best way is to marry or push η impurity gallium nitride. In order to grow thicker nitride semiconductor junctions with fewer defects, the initial idea is to grow gaseous semiconductor crystals with MOVPE, and then change to η. On movpe crystals, it is ideal to grow nitride semiconductor crystals. Figures 5A and 511B are sectional views for explaining a method for growing such a thick nitride semiconductor crystal. According to the i-th view or the second view described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 1C, the nitride semiconductor crystal i7 of the same kind is grown on the nitride semiconductor crystal 16 grown by MOVPE i 7. It is grown to a thickness greater than that of the nitride semiconductor crystal 16. When the nitride semiconductor crystal 17 is regrown by the HVPE on the MOVPE junction e16 in this way, there are almost no crystal defects extending in the longitudinal direction, and a nitride semiconductor having very few crystal defects can be grown as a whole 7. The crystal defects of HVPE nitride semiconductor crystals 7 and 7 will be less than the MOVPE nitride semiconductor crystals 16 below it. For example, finally, a vaporized semiconductor crystal substrate 17 with crystal defects of IX lOVcm2 or less in the surface area can be obtained. The crystal defects in the surface area are ideal at 5 xi 〇4 / cm. It is more ideal that it is less than lXlOVcm2, and the ixl03 / cm is described as the first ratio (please read the precautions on the back first) (Fill in this page)

The "surface area" refers to the surface on the opposite side of the heterogeneous substrate 11 of the nitride semiconducting crystal (the area up to a height of 5 degrees from the growth terminal surface). (TEM) is measured. In the present invention, the crystal defect of the nitride nitride semiconductor crystals grown is the average of the defect density measured by visual inspection of the TEM (ie, good observation of the naked eye on the simplified photo). (The same applies to the following examples.) The thickness of the HVPE vaporized semiconductor semiconductor crystal 17 is thicker than that of the MvvE gas semiconductor crystal 16, and it is preferably more than 10 mm, and more preferably 50 or more. 100 陴 or more is the most ideal. When less than 10 _, the number of crystal defects tends to be difficult to reduce. The upper limit of the thickness is not particularly limited, but it is preferably less than 1 1. Growth to more than i 叩At the above thicknesses, due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the nitride semiconductor and the heterogeneous substrate, the entire wafer is warped, and there is a tendency that it is difficult to uniformly grow HvpE nitride semiconductors. When the semiconductor crystal 16 and / or 17 are grown, it is desirable to dope n-type impurities in the nitride semiconductor, and it is more desirable that the concentration of the n-type impurity is between 16 or 17 in each crystal. Among them, those with doped η-type impurities with a slope are more ideal. The concentration gradient can be continuous or step-shaped. Especially in each of crystals 16 and 17, the concentration gradient of η-type impurities is It is desirable that the n-type impurity concentration becomes smaller as it leaves the heterogeneous substrate 换. In other words, the closer the n-type impurity in the crystal 16 is to the heterogeneous substrate 11, the higher its doping concentration. Similarly, in the crystal 1 7 The closer the n-type impurity in the substrate to the heterogeneous substrate 1, the higher the doping concentration is. In this way, the closer the crystals are to the growth surface (the main surface), the smaller the n-type impurity concentration will be in the future. After making the component, set the η side power to 20.

Γ、 Explanation of the invention (For example, removing the heterogeneous substrate 11, the bottom layer 12, and the growth mask 13 when printing, such as removing the heterogeneous substrate 11, the bottom layer 12, and the growth mask 13 in order to expose the nitride semiconductor 16 ′ or the nitride semiconductor crystal substrate 16 When the 'is removed to expose the nitride semiconductor substrate 17, the surface regions of the nitride semiconductor crystals 16 and 17 doped with high-concentration η impurities can be exposed on the back side. Therefore, by using the exposed surface as the η-side electrode formation surface, Reduce the forward voltage (Vf) of the device and increase the output. In addition, from the device structure side grown on the nitride semiconductor crystal substrate, the high-concentration n-type can be doped when the f electrode is provided on the etching surface Nitride semiconductor crystals of impurities or 17 are used as the n-electrode formation layer. In the present invention, n-type impurities doped in the nitride semiconductor crystals are made of silicon (Si), iron (Ge), tin (Sn), and sulfur ( S) and other Group 4 elements, with Shi Xi and / or tin as the imagination. These n-type impurities can be used as hydrides or gaseous organometallic compounds in the growth of argon semiconductors. N-type impurities are based on 5Xl 〇iVCm3 ~ 5x102i / cm3 is ideally doped. When less than 5x1016 / Cm3, the carrier concentration of nitride semiconductor crystal 16 or 17 is insufficient, and its resistivity will increase. In addition, when the concentration of n-type impurities exceeds 5 X 1 0 / cm, the impurity concentration is too high, crystallinity will deteriorate, and crystal defects tend to increase. Η-type impurities are in the range of 1 x 10 "/ cm3 to 1 x 10 2 W. Doping within the range is the most ideal. In addition, in the present invention, the conversion from M0 VPE to HvPE can also be carried to the vaporizer semi-conductor at MOVPEit. Before (for example, in the state of FIG. B), the nitride semiconductor crystal 15 has been grown laterally on the upper surface of the mask 13 with MovpE, but before the adjacent nitride semiconductor crystals 15 are integrated with each other, The HVPE nitride semiconductor crystal n can be grown.

Alternatively, the structure of the fifth country A can be obtained from a heterogeneous substrate 11 On the back surface, at least the heterogeneous substrate 11, the bottom layer 12 and the selective growth masks 13 a to 13 e are polished and removed in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the heterogeneous substrate 11 to obtain a nitride semiconductor crystal 16 and an argon semiconductor crystal 17. Double-layered nitride semiconductor substrate. If the semiconductor semi-conductor crystal 16 is also removed, as shown in the fifth country B, it can be composed of H VPE nitride semiconductor crystal} 7 Bulk nitride semiconductor semiconductor substrate. As can be seen from the above description, the HVPE nitride semi-conductor substrate has the characteristic that the crystal defects in the surface area are below 1 X 105 / cm2. The HVPE nitride semiconductor substrate has a doped η-type impurity, the η-type impurity has a concentration gradient in the nitride semiconductor substrate, and the closer to the main surface (that is, the more it leaves the heterogeneous substrate U, the closer it is to Growth terminal surface), the smaller the n-type impurity concentration of any one of three or more features. From another point of view, the substrate thus obtained is characterized by having first and second major surfaces' doped with n-type impurities, and those impurities have a gradient in concentration on the substrate. In addition, in the present invention, before a substantial portion of a nitride semiconductor crystal (for example, a nitride semiconductor crystal 16 or the like is grown on a mask to crystallize it), it may be first grown by a nitride. Buffer layer composed of semiconductor ^ The buffer layer may be composed of a nitride semiconductor such as aluminum nitride (A1N), gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum-gallium nitride (AlGaN), indium-gallium nitride (InGaN), and the bottom layer 12 Similarly, at a low temperature of less than 900 ° C, a thickness of tens of angstroms to hundreds of angstroms is grown. After the low-temperature buffer layer is grown, the substantially semi-conductive blade semiconductor crystal is grown. It also belongs to the scope of the present invention. This buffer layer is to relax the heterogeneous substrate and nitride semiconductors grown in the future. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page).

When a defective nitride semiconductor is crystallized, a new mask can be formed on the part and a new nitride semiconductor can be grown on the mask. The principle of the nitride semiconductor growth method according to the third aspect of the present invention will be described below. A method for growing a nitride semiconductor according to a third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that after a nitride semiconductor is grown on a support of the present invention, the nitride semiconductor is used as a so-called seed crystal, and a new nitride semiconductor is grown in the longitudinal direction. Suppressed, essentially growing only in the lateral direction 'and then causing it to grow longitudinally and laterally. In the present invention, the inhibition of the growth of nitride semiconductors in the longitudinal direction is at least to prevent the growth of nitride semiconductors from proceeding in the longitudinal direction, and to cause the nitride semiconductors to grow in the lateral direction or to expose the initially grown nitride semiconductors to the vertical surfaces. This can be achieved by growing the new nitride semiconductor light from the exposed surface. In this way, the nitride semiconducting impurity whose growth direction is suppressed starts to grow from the longitudinal direction to the lateral direction. When the growth is continued, in addition to the lateral growth, the longitudinal direction starts to grow again. In this way, crystals of nitride semiconductors having fewer crystal defects can be obtained. This method of growing a nitride semiconductor body that controls the growth direction of a nitride semiconductor in accordance with the third aspect of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to Figs. 7A to 7D. As shown in FIG. 7A, a nitride semiconductor layer 71 is formed on a support body 10 made of a heterogeneous substrate 11 with or without a bottom layer 12 formed thereon. It is ideal on substantially the entire surface, and the support body 10 includes a heterogeneous substrate II and a bottom layer 12 as described above.

The above-mentioned formation of GaN doped with n-type impurities is particularly ideal. The imaginary layer 71 is formed at a high temperature, specifically 900 ° C to 1100 ° C, at a temperature of 950C to 1050C to grow on the support. The nitride semiconductor layer 71 _ The thickness of the exposed portion of the recessed portion (this item is also described in detail below) after the formation of the growth control mask is not particularly limited. However, the thickness of the nitride semiconductor layer 71 formed from the side surface of the recessed portion is required to have a certain thickness. Above 100 angstroms, it is preferably about i to about 10 μm, and more preferably about 1 to about 5 μm. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the nitride semiconductor layer 71 formed on the support 10 , Many recesses are formed (6 recesses can be seen in FIG. 7B) The first nitride semiconductor layer 71 is selectively exposed on the side surface of each of the recessed portions 72. Then, on the upper surface of the nitride semiconductor layer 7, only a plurality of recessed portions are collectively referred to as the recessed portions 72). The first growth control masks indicated by symbols 73a to 73g and the second growth control masks indicated by symbols 74a to 74f are formed on the bottom surfaces of the recesses 72a to 72f. The i-th growth control masks 73a to 73g also have This is collectively referred to as the i-th growth control mask or mask 7j '. The second growth-control masks 74a to 74f may be collectively referred to as the second growth-control mask or mask 74.

Most of the recesses 72a to 72f, if they are to be on the side, Any shape of the nitride semiconductor layer 71 can be selectively exposed. For example, the nitride semiconductor layer 71 can be formed in an individual cylindrical shape, a square cylindrical shape, or a groove shape. The bottom surface of each of the recessed portions 72 is formed on the upper surface of the support 10. The surface is ideally a substantially parallel surface.

Although the depth of the recess 72 will reach the thickness of the nitride semiconductor layer 71 or the growth control mask. The thickness of the mold 74 depends on the thickness, etc. In short, as long as the second growth control mask 74 to be formed on the bottom surface of the recess is not exposed to the heterogeneous substrate u, and the second growth control mask 74 can be formed sufficiently The thickness of the nitride semiconductor layer 72 does not hinder the growth of a new nitride semiconductor that grows laterally from the side of the nitride semiconductor layer 72 facing the side of the recess 72. The depth of formation of each recess 72 is preferably not to expose the heterogeneous substrate 11, and the depth of formation is preferably halfway through the thickness direction of the nitride semiconductor layer. For example, when the recessed portion 72 is formed to the depth where the heterogeneous substrate U is exposed, when the second growth control mask 74 is formed, it is difficult to form the second growth control mask 74 near the corners of the bottom surface of the recessed portion 72. When the control mask fails to completely cover the surface of the heterogeneous substrate η, a new nitride semiconductor is grown from the heterogeneous substrate 11 and there is a possibility that a crystal defect is generated therefrom. The recesses 72 may have different depths, but generally the depths of the recesses 72 are all the same. When the recessed portion 72 is to be provided, any method may be used as long as the nitride semiconductor layer 71 can be partially removed, and for example, etching processing, cutting, and the like can be used. The recessed portion 72 'formed by parallel grooves having a rectangular cross-section or the recessed portion 72 formed by a grid structure can be easily formed during cutting. When forming the recessed portion 72 in the nitride semiconductor layer 71 by the engraving method, a mask pattern of various shapes in a photolithography technique is used, and a resist pattern is used as a photomask in a line shape or a grid shape. It is formed on the nitride semiconductor layer 71 and can be formed after etching. The nitride semiconductor layer 71 is etched by methods such as wet etching and dry etching. In order to form a smooth surface, dry etching is preferably used. Dry etching includes, for example, reactive ion etching (hereinafter referred to as RIE) and reactivity.

For example, a nitride semiconductor etching method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-1 78G3 previously published by the applicant can be used. In addition, when the recessed portion 72 is formed by an etching method, the side surface of the formed recessed portion 72 may be substantially perpendicular to the heterogeneous substrate, or may be in an upslope shape or inversely abutment shape as shown in FIG. 7B. The method of forming the 73 and the second mask 74 differs by how much the recess 72 is formed by the etching method or the cutting method. When the recess 72 is to be formed by etching, the first! After a mask material layer is formed on the nitride semiconductor layer 71, a resist film is formed thereon, a predetermined pattern is copied, exposed, developed, and a first mask 73 is formed. Concavity 72. Next, a growth control mask material layer is formed on the nitride semiconductor 71 having the i-th mask 73 and the recessed portion 72 formed, that is, the bottom surface, side pairs, etc. of the mask 73 and the recessed portion 72, for example, fluorinated The dry etching of carbon (CF.4) and oxygen (ο) gas selectively etches the mask material on the side of the recess 72 to form a second mask 74. When formed in this manner, for example, in FIG. 7B, The first mask 73 is shown in the figure as a single layer. In fact, it is a two-layer structure in which a mask material layer is further formed on the first mask 73. Of course, the second mask 74 may be formed before the second mask 74 is formed. After the second mask 73 is removed, the first mask 73 and the second mask 74 are each formed on the portion formed by the first mask 73 and the bottom surface of the recess 72 by the same method. The recess 7 is formed by cutting. At this time, the nitride semiconductor layer 71 is removed from above with a dicing saw, and after forming the recessed portion 72, a growth control mask is formed on the entire surface of the nitride semiconductor layer 71 including the recessed portion 72 as described above .-------- -^: ------ π ------ ^ (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Printed by the Industrial Standards and Consumer Cooperatives of the Ministry of Economic Affairs

Description of the invention () ~ '-, the material layer, with the drying of carbon fluoride (CF4) and oxygen (〇2) gas vessels, only the growth control mask material layer on the side of the recess 72 Etching is performed to form the first and second growth control masks 73 and 74 at the same time. Regarding the thickness, both the i-th growth control mask 73 and the second growth-control mask 74 may have different thicknesses, as described later, which do not hinder the growth of nitride crystals. For example, the second growth control mask 74, especially when the underlayer 12 is not formed on the heterogeneous substrate 11, has a thickness sufficient to prevent the heterogeneous substrate u on the bottom surface of the recess 72 from being exposed, and Z is formed so as to be subjected to heat. Ying Le will not produce a sufficient thickness of pinholes in the cymbals. Of course, it should not be thick enough to hinder the growth of the semiconducting Zhao crystal of the nitride semiconductor 71 part exposed from the side of the recess. When pinholes are generated in the second mask 74, the nitride semiconductor may grow from the pinholes in the longitudinal direction, which may be a cause of crystal defects later. For example, if the first growth control mask 73 is formed relatively thin, the barrier height (the height of the first growth control mask 73) to be crossed by the nitride semiconductor is low, and it is easy to pass it. Horizontal growth. The formation of such a growth control mask should be clear to the operator. To form it in this way, the formation of the mask can be divided into two steps. It is desirable that the first growth control mask 73 has the same relationship with the heterogeneous substrate 11 as the first growth control mask 73 for the heterogeneous substrate 11 described above. Therefore, all of the items described under "Relationship between heterogeneous substrates and selective growth masks" are applicable to the i-th growth control mask, that is, the first growth control mask 73 has a substantially short cross-section. Most of the individual lines are ideal. At this time, the respective lines are formed on the sapphire A plane and parallel to each other in the vertical direction of the sapphire R plane, or on the spinel (111) plane, the vertical directions to the spinel (110) plane are Parallel extension 29 This paper scale is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2i0x297) A7 B7 406445 V. Description of the invention (formed ideally. Therefore, each recess 72 is controlled by the linear growth The top φ ′ of each wall defined by the plurality of individual grooves formed by the mask 73 extending in the same direction between adjacent grooves has a plane shape that is the same as the plane shape of each linear growth control mask 73 The width of each of the linear growth control masks 73 (equivalent to the width Ws of the first selected growth mask) is preferably i to 20_, and more preferably 10 to 20 ,, and the interval is It is more preferable to use i to 20, and 2 to 5 mm. In this way, the recess 72, the i-th and the second growth control cover 73 and 74 are formed, as shown in 7 @ C, so that the The vapor phase growth method described in the first and second aspects makes the nitride semiconductor 75 The exposed side surface of the semiconductor layer 71 grows. As explained above with reference to FIG. 7B, the nitride semiconductor layer 71 is on its upper surface (ie, the top surface of the wall between the recessed portions) in addition to the side surface of the recessed portion 72 formed therein, and The bottom surface of the recess 72 is covered by the growth control mask 73 and 74. The nitride semiconductor layer 7 丨 is exposed only on the side of the recess 72. Therefore, a nitride semiconductor grown in a vapor phase will only pass from the nitride semiconductor layer. The selective exposed surface of 71 grows. That is, the nitride semiconductor 75 initially starts to grow laterally from the exposed side of the nitride semiconductor layer 71. Then, as the nitride semiconductor 75 continues to grow, in addition to the lateral growth, the nitride semiconductor 75 also grows vertically. It starts to grow, and after reaching the top of the recess 72, it will grow on the ι growth control mask 73 on both sides of the recess to the left and right, and the adjacent nitride semiconducting Zhao crystal 75 will be in between as described above. According to the viewpoint and the second viewpoint, they are integrated with each other to form an integrated nitride semiconductor crystal 76 as shown in FIG. 7D.

Description of Invention Since the surface area of the second main near house can be configured as an n + area, the n-side electrode of a nitride semiconductor device can be provided in this area to reduce the voltage facing the device. ^ The nitride semiconductor substrate of the present invention can be described as having a region (second region) with relatively few crystal defects and a region (second region) with relatively large crystal defects when viewed from the first principal surface. The state of defect unevenness is formed. The first region is a region corresponding to the masks 13 and 73, and the first region is a region corresponding to the window 14 and the recessed portion 72. The nitride semiconductor device of the present invention is a nitrogen device of the present invention. The compound substrate supports its component constructor. At this time, The nitride semiconductor substrate of the invention can remove the support body 10 and the mask (13, U3, 73, 74, etc.), support the element structure in an independent state, and retain the original state of the support body and the mask. "Support element structure" Also, the nitride half body of the present invention can be made into an independent state in advance, and then an element structure is formed thereon, and the support body 10 and the original state of the mask can be retained to form an element structure thereon. After that, the support body 10 and the mask are removed to become independent. The independent nitride semiconductor substrate of the present invention needs to have a thickness of 70 or more, and a thickness of 100 μΐη or more is desirable, and a thickness of 300 or more is more desirable. When the thickness is more than 70 mid, the nitride semiconductor substrate is not easily broken and is easy to handle. The upper limit of the thickness is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 1 μη or less. In addition, when a heterogeneous substrate is provided It is desirable that the thickness of the gaseous half-substrate of the present invention is 1 to 50 μm, and the thickness lies in this range. The whole wafer is caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the substrate 11 and the heterogeneous substrate 11

Description of the invention (The buffer layer 211 is created. The buffer layer 211 is based on A nitride semiconducting monocrystalline layer grown at a high temperature above 900t, which is a low-temperature buffer layer grown at a low temperature in order to alleviate the lattice mismatch between the substrate and the nitride semiconductor grown thereon. (For example, the buffer layer 12 in Figures A to 1 圏 c) is different. When manufacturing an LD device, the thickness of the buffer layer 211 must be 100 angstroms or less. More preferably, it is 70 angstroms or less. It is preferably 50 angstroms or less, and the first and second nitride semiconductor layers which are different or different from each other are alternately stacked, and the structure is preferably a deformed superlattice structure. When it is made into a deformed superlattice structure, its crystallinity is improved, and a high-speed out-of-zero element can be obtained. The buffer layer 211 may be omitted. A crack prevention layer 212 made of a nitride semiconductor is formed on the buffer layer 211. If the seam prevention layer 212 is formed of indium-type nitride semiconductor containing indium, it is preferably formed of indium gallium nitride (InGaN). In the nitride semiconductor containing aluminum to be formed later, it is more effective to prevent the invasion of cracks. The crack prevention layer 212 is preferably formed by inxGa | χN (0 < χ < 〇5). The formation thickness of the crack prevention layer 212 should be 100 angstroms or less, and ideally 0.5 or less. When it is thinner than 100 angstroms, it is difficult to prevent cracks. When it is thicker than 0.05 angstroms, the crystal itself tends to become black. The crack prevention layer 2 丨 2 may be omitted. On the crack prevention layer 212, an n-side cladding layer 213 made of an n-type nitride semiconductor is formed. The n-side cladding layer 213 has a dual function of a carrier blocking layer and a light blocking layer. The n-side cladding layer 213 is preferably a superlattice structure in which first and second nitride semiconductor layers having mutually different band gap energies are sequentially stacked. This superlattice structure is preferably a nitride semiconductor containing aluminum, and more preferably a semiconductor containing 18-gallium nitride (A1GaN). At this time, more impurities are added to any of the first layer and the second layer for so-called modulation doping. For 36 paper sizes, the Chinese National Standard (CNS) ..

For example, the n-type cladding layer 213 of such a superlattice structure may be made of n-type impurities, such as a thin layer of aluminum-gallium nitride (AlGaN) and a thin layer of pure gallium nitride (GaN) doped with silicon (si). Alternately stacked to form it. The superlattice structure provides a carrier seal layer with good crack-free crystallinity. The thickness of the η-side cladding layer 213 is preferably 100 Angstroms or more and 2 Angstroms or less, and is preferably 500 Angstroms or more, and more preferably 1 Angstrom or less. On the n-side cladding layer 213, an n-side light guide layer 2 1 4 made of a nitride semiconductor is formed. The n-side light guide layer 2 14 functions as a guide layer for light from the active layer 21 5 described below. In the case of gallium nitride (GaN) or indium-gallium nitride (InGaN), it is desirable that the thickness of the 11-side light guide layer 214 should be 100 angstroms to 5 μm, and 2,000 angstroms to 1 μm. As ideal. ^ The side light-guiding layer 214 is generally an n-type impurity doped with silicon (Si), germanium (ge), or the like as the n-type conductive type, but such impurities may not be doped. The n-side light guide layer 214 may be a superlattice constructor. The n-side light guide layer 2 14 of such a superlattice structure may include, for example, a first layer made of a hafnium nitride semiconductor such as gallium nitride (GaN), and a second nitride different from the first nitride semiconductor. Semiconductors such as indium-gallium nitride (InGaN) are formed by alternately stacking second layers. In this case, "n-type impurities may be doped in at least one of the first layer and the second layer", or do not need to be doped. The magnitude of the bandgap energy in the present invention is based on the layer with a larger bandgap energy in the superlattice structure, and the active layer in the quantum well structure is based on the well layer. On the n-side light guide layer 214, an active layer 215 made of a nitride semiconductor is formed. The active layer 2 and 5 are made of a nitride semiconductor containing indium (preferably indium-gallium nitride, InGaN or indium-aluminum nitride, 1ηA1N), and a quantum well structure with a well layer is particularly preferable.

Description of the invention () The structure is constructed by a single quantum well (SQW), or a multiple quantum with a well layer and a barrier layer Wells (MQW) can be constructed. Constructors with multiple quantum wells are ideal. For example, 'multiple quantum well structures can be constructed by alternately stacking indium-gallium vapor (InGaN) semiconductors with different compositions, or they can be constructed by alternately stacking gallium nitride (GaN) and indium-gallium nitride. The active layer may be doped with impurities in the well layer and / or the barrier layer, or may not be doped with impurities. The active layer with pure mass sub-well structure is ideal. At this time, the well layer can be replaced with indium nitride nitride (InAIN) instead of indium-gallium nitride (InGaN). On the active layer 2 1 5, a band-side energy having a larger band gap energy than the P-side light guide layer 2 1 7 to be described later is formed. The specific active layer 2 1 5 (well layer in a quantum well structure) is larger than p.侧 盖层 216。 Side cover layer 216. The formation thickness of the p-side cap layer 216 is preferably 0.1 angstrom or less, more preferably 500 angstrom or less, and most preferably 300 angstrom or less. When the thickness of the p-side capping layer 216 is greater than 0.1 μη, cracking tends to invade into the p-side capping layer 216, and it is difficult to grow the p-side capping layer 2 1 6 of a nitride semiconductor layer with good crystallinity. The p-side cap layer 2 16 is preferably made of a nitride semiconductor containing a semiconductor, particularly aluminum-gallium gas (AeGaN). At this time, if the aluminum-gallium nitride (AeGaN) having a larger composition ratio of aluminum is formed with a thinner p-side cap layer 216, the LD element is more likely to be laser oscillated. For example, when the p-side cover layer 216 is formed of AlyGai.yN with a y value of 0.2 or more in the formula, it is particularly desirable to adjust the thickness of the p-side cover layer 216 to 500 angstroms or less. The lower limit of the thickness of the ρ-side cover layer 21 6 is not particularly limited, but the formation thickness of the ρ-side cover layer 2 16 is preferably 10 Angstroms or more. The p-side capping layer 216 may be doped with a p-type impurity as the p-type, but because the thickness is too thin, it may be doped with an n-type impurity as the type of the compensated carrier, or it may not be doped with impurities. It is most desirable that the p-type capping layer 216 be doped with a p-type impurity. On the P-side cover layer 216, a band gap energy ratio of the p-side cover layer 216 is formed. 38 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) ---------- installation-( Please read the precautions on the back before you fill out this page)-* Printed by the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and printed by the Bayer Consumer Cooperative ¾ 406445 a? __ B7 V. Description of the invention () is small, and the p-side is made of nitride semiconductor Light guide layer 2 丨 7. In the p-side light guide layer 217, light from the active layer 215 serves as a guiding layer, and it is ideal to be formed of gallium halide (GaN) or indium gallium nitride (InGaN) like the n-side light guide layer 214. The p-side light guide layer 217 may be used as a buffer layer when a P-side cladding layer 2 1 8 to be described later is grown. The thickness of the p-side light guide layer 2 i 7 is 100 angstroms to 5 angstroms, and more preferably 200 angstroms! Alas, it has the role of an ideal light guide layer. The p-side light guide layer 217 is usually a p-type impurity doped with magnesium (Mg) and the like, and may be doped with no impurity. The p-side light guide layer 217 may be formed as a superlattice structure. This superlattice structure can be formed by sequentially stacking first and second nitride semiconductor layers having mutually different band gap energies. The p-type side light guide layer 217 of such a superlattice structure may be formed by alternately stacking an i-th layer made of gallium nitride (GaN) and a second layer made of indium-gallium nitride (InGaN). In this case, at least one of the first layer and the second layer may be doped with a p-type impurity or not. On the p-side light guide layer 217, a p-side cladding layer 2 1 8 made of a nitride semiconductor is formed. This cladding layer 21 8_ functions as a carrier blocking layer and a light blocking layer similarly to the η-side cladding layer 2 1 3. The ρ is a cladding layer 2-8 which is a nitride semiconductor containing aluminum, and more preferably an aluminum-gallium nitride (AlGaN) -containing one. When formed into a superlattice structure, it has the effect of reducing the resistivity of the p-side layer. This superlattice structure can be formed by sequentially stacking the first and second compound semiconductor layers with different band gap energies. In this case, by doping a plurality of impurities into one of the first layer and the second layer to do so-called modulation doping, the threshold value of the LD element can be reduced. For example, the p-side cladding layer 21 8 can be doped with a P-type impurity, such as a first thin layer composed of magnesium (Mg) aluminum-gallium argon hydride (A1GaN) and an impurity-doped gallium nitride (GaN).

Description of the invention (2) It is formed by alternately laminating thin films. ? The side cladding layer 218 is formed to a thickness of 100 angstroms or more and 2 acres or less, and more preferably 500 angstroms or more. In addition, those who form the P-side cladding layer 218 into a super-changer structure have a tendency to reduce the resistance of the ρ-side layer as described above, compared to those who form the η-side cladding 2 1 3 into a superlattice structure. It is desirable to reduce the forward voltage of the LD element. For example, a double-heterostructure gaseous semiconductor device having an active layer 215 with a quantum structure, especially in an LD device, where the band gap energy is larger than that of the active layer 2L5 near the active layer 215, and the thickness 0 > 1 A capping layer 216 containing a nitride semiconductor containing aluminum, which is located farther from the active layer 215 than the capping layer 216, and has a p-side light guide containing a nitride semiconductor whose band gap energy is smaller than that of the capping layer 216. Layer 217; and is located farther away from the active layer 2 1 5 than the p-side light guide layer 2 1 7, and its band gap energy is set to be greater than that of the P-side light guide layer 217 'a super crystal containing a nitride semiconductor containing aluminum The lattice structure p-side cladding 218 'is very ideal. At this time, the p-side cap layer 216 has a larger band-gap energy ', so that electrons injected from the p-side layer are blocked in the cap layer 216. As a result, electrons do not overflow the active layer 215, so that the leakage reduction current of the 'LD device is reduced. The structure of the LD element is basically composed of an n-side cladding layer 213, an n-side light guiding layer 214, an active layer 215, a p-side light guiding layer 217, and a p-side cladding layer 218. In order to install a p-electrode, a p-side contact layer 219 made of a p-type nitride semiconductor is formed on the p-side cladding layer 218. The p-side contact layer 219 is inxAlyGaix yN (0 helmet X, 0 $ y, x + y $ l) 'doped with p-type impurities, especially doped with p-type impurities, especially magnesium (Mg) gallium nitride.

Electrically connected to the p-side base electrode 222 of the p-electrode 220 »In the nitride semiconductor substrate 1000, as described above, the n-type impurity is doped, so that the n-side electrode 223 can be formed on substantially the entire surface of the back surface of the nitride semiconductor substrate 1000. The η-side electrode 223 is made of a metal such as aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tungsten (W), copper (Cu), zinc (Zη), tin (Sn), or indium (In), or a laminate of these metals. When an alloy of these metals is formed, a more ideal resistive contact with the η-type layer (the back surface of the substrate 1000 in this example) can be achieved.

In the nitride semiconductor layer under the active layer of the LED wafer, the crystal defect is that there are fewer parts above the first selective growth mask and more parts above the window. As described above, in a region where there are few crystal defects, more area of the active layer is provided 'to obtain a highly reliable device. At 20 mA, the LED obtained in this example emits 520 nm green light, and its output is more than two times that of the conventional vapor semiconductor semiconductor device structure grown on a sapphire substrate, and the electrostatic withstand voltage is also 2 Above 侉, it has very excellent characteristics. In addition, the shape of the first selective growth mask in this embodiment is a line shape, but it can also be pre-matched to the shape of the wafer to be cut (for example, a square shape) so that the selective growth mask is formed regularly. Dots are formed, and wafers are cut out at positions corresponding to the window of the selective growth mask. * Example 13 This example can refer to the eleventh circle.
