五、發明說明(1) 詳細說明: (發明所屬之技術領域) 本發明係關於室溫時之帶隙爲2.8電子伏特(electron vo It) (eV)以上3.4eV以下之磷化硼(BP)層或含有磷化硼 並以一般式 BaAlpGaYIm-a_卜YPsAseNm(〇<〇^l,〇M<l, 〇$γ<1,0<α + β + γ$1,0<δ$1,0$ε<1,0<δ + ε$1)記述之磷 化硼(ΒΡ)系混晶層,具備這些ΒΡ層或ΒΡ系混晶層之半 導體元件,及這些BP層或BP系混晶層之製造方法。 (以往技術) 由屬於元素週期表之III之硼(B)和V族之元素作成之 ΠΙ-V族化合物半導體有氮化硼(BN),磷化硼(BP)和砷 化硼(BAs)。例如,六面體晶之氮化硼(ΒΝ)係爲室溫時 之帶隙(band gap)爲7.5電子伏特(eV)之間接遷移型半導 體(參照(培風館(公司),1 995年3月30日發明初版,寺 本嚴著「半導體裝置槪論」第28頁)。砷化硼(BAs)熟 知係爲室溫時之帶隙約爲〇.85eV之間接遷移型之in-v 族化合物。(參照上述之「半導體裝置槪論」)。 另外,磷化硼(BP)係作成爲一種III-V族化合物半導 體(參照 Nature,179(Νο·4569)(1957),1075 頁),至於 間接遷移型半導體之帶隙有數種値。例如,B.Stcne等 氏對堆積在石英板上之多結晶之B P膜藉光學上之吸收 法得出約6eV之室溫帶隙(參照Phys. Rev. Lett.,Vol.4, N o. 6( 1 9 60),2 8 2〜2 84 頁)。另外,依 J.L· Peret 歸納出 559899 五、發明說明(2) BP 之帶隙約爲 6.0eV(參照 J.Am.Ceramic Soc.,47(l) ( 1 964),第44〜46頁)。另外,N.Sclar根據離子半徑値 及共有半徑値給與絕對零度( = 0K)之帶隙爲6.20eV(參照 J.Appl.Phys.,3 3 ( 1 0)( 1 962)第 2999〜3 002 頁)。另外,依 Manca之說,則是提示4.2eV之帶隙(參照J.Phys. Chem, Solids,20(1961),268〜273 頁)。 另外,R.J.Archer 等氏從由磷化鎳(nickel phosphide) 融液成長之單結晶BP得出立面體BP之室溫帶隙爲 2eV(參照 phys.Rev,Lett·,12(19)(1964),第 538 〜540 頁)。藉根據結合能量値之理論計算得出2 . 1 eV帶隙(參 照 J.Appl.Phys.,3 6( 1 96 5),第 3 3 0〜331 頁)。磷化硼(BP) 之帶隙有上述那樣之大差異(參照J.Phys. Chem. solid, 29( 1 96 8),第1 02 5〜1 03 2頁),及BP之帶隙約爲2eV之 情形係自來之通例(參照(1) R C A R e v i e w,2 5 ( 1 9 6 4),第 159 〜167 頁),(2)Z.anory.allg.Chem.第 349(1967) ’ 第 151 〜157 頁,(3)上述之 J.Appl.Phys.,36(1965)。(4)上述 之「半導體裝置槪論」,及(5)參照培風館,1 994年5 月2 0日發行初版,赤崎勇編著「111 - V族化合物半導 體」,第150頁)。 磷化硼(BP)及以組成式BxAlyGau-YNkPJiK , 〇Sy<l,O^X + Y^l,0<Z^1)記述之BP系混晶係被利用做 爲構成半導體發光元件之功能層。例如,由BP作成之 單一層(單層)用於在短波長可視發光二極體(L E D)或者 559899 五、發明說明(3) 雷射二極體(LD)上構成緩衝層以往係有其例(日本專利 申請公報特開平2-275 682號)。另外,也知曉從BP單 層和BxAlyGa^.YNuPz混晶單層之超晶格構造構成Pn 接合型之異類接合構造之發光部之例(參照日本專利申 請公報特開平1 0-2425 1 4號說明書)。另外,也有從與 BxAlyGai_x_YNi_zPz混晶單層行超晶格構造構成_壁層 之技術(參照日本專利申請公報特開平2-2 8 8 3 7 1號說明 書)。室溫時之帶隙作爲2eV之磷化硼(BP),因不對發 光層施予障壁作用之故,上述之以往例,係利用將BP 和氮化鋁(A1N)等拌和混晶以提高室溫時之帶隙到,例 如,2.7eV之含氮混晶層(參照上述之日本專利申請公報 特開平第2-288371號)。 另外,也知悉利用BP單層以構成異類雙極性電晶 (h e t e 1· 〇 b i ρ ο 1 a r t r a η s i s t 〇 r) ( Η B T)之例(參照 J · E 1 e c t r 〇 c h e m · Soc.,1 2 5 (4)( 1 97 8 ),第 63 3 〜6 3 7 頁)。此以往之 HBT,係 使用藉乙硼烷(B2H6)/膦(PH3)系氣相成長法,在具有 (1〇〇)面之矽(Si)結晶基板上成長,帶隙爲2. OeV之BP 單層(參照上述之 J.Electro Chem· Soc.,1 25( 1 978))。另 外,也有揭示將帶隙爲2.OeV之BP單層做爲窗(window) 層以構成太陽電池(solai· cell)之技術(參照上述之J. Electrochem. Soc.,125(1978))。 如上述,以往之半導體元件係由帶隙約爲2 e V之磷化 硼(B P )或者含有該帶隙之B P之混晶構成。在以室溫之 559899 五、發明說明(4) 帶隙爲1.1 eV之Si做爲母體材料而構成之上述太陽電 池之技術上揭露出即使係爲將帶隙作成2. OeV之BP 層,即因母體爲Si之故而使帶隙變大,導致無法有效 地利用窗層(參照上述之J.Electrochem. Soc.,125 ( 1 97 8))。但是另外一方面,以Si爲基板形成BP層之以 往技術,有這樣之報告,其即依做爲基板之Si單結晶 之面方位,帶隙有被窄化之情事(參照西永頌著「應用 物理」,第45卷第9號(1976),第891〜897頁)。另有 報告指示相較於形成在具有(100)面之Si基板上之BP 層,在具有(1 1 1)面之Si基板上者,因其面缺陷密度 大,故形成在具有(Π1)面之Si基板上之BP層逐變成不 透明(參照上述之「應用物理」,第895〜8 96頁)。另 外,有報告指示因面缺陷多之故晶格常數也變大,進而 帶隙更形狹窄(參照上述之「應用物理」,第896頁)。 晶格常數和帶隙具有關連(correlation)—事自來即已知 曉,帶隙隨著晶格常數變小而增大一事係眾所皆知(參 照上述之「ΠΙ-V族化合物半導體」,第31頁)。換言 之,據以往之硏究例,指示依形成ΒΡ層之條件,結果 ΒΡ層之帶隙變成比通用之約2eV更小之ΒΡ帶隙。因此 種低度之帶隙,導致具有無法簡便地從磷化硼(BP)結晶 層構成高耐壓之耐環境型半導體元件之缺點。 (發明欲解決之課題) 例如,室溫時之發光波長爲45 0nm(iianometer)之異類 559899 五、發明說明(5) 接合型之藍色led或LD係利用室溫,帶隙爲2.8eV之 發光層。另外,欲使障壁(clad)作用及於此發光層,須 由室溫時之帶隙至少約爲2eV以上之半導體材料構成障 壁層。是故,以往在構成磷化硼(BP)系發光元件之異.類 接合發光部之際,具有無法從室溫時之帶隙約爲2eV之 磷化硼(BP)構成障壁層之缺點。因此,以往之技術係如 上述那樣,形成含有BP之混晶,例如,形成 BxAlyGamN^Pz之多元結晶以作成帶隙高之障壁層 (參照上述日本專利申請公報特開平2-2 8 8 3 7 1號)。但 是,構成元素數多之混晶之情形,控制構成元素之組成 比等則需要高度之技術,且更不易得出良質之結晶層一 事係爲眾知者(參照上述「半導體裝置槪論」,第24 頁)。是於。以往之成膜技術具有無法簡便地形成障壁 層那類之BP系混晶層之問題點。 另外,例如,以往之npn型HBT,帶隙爲2.0eV之 BP層係被用作爲η型射極(emitter)(參照上述之J. Electrochem, Soc.,125(1978))。另一方面,P 型基極 (base)層係使用P形之Si層(參照上述之J· Electrochem Soc.,1 2 5 ( 1 97 8))。Si之帶隙約爲l.leV,因此,BP射極 層和Si基極層之異類接合構造間之帶隙之差異僅約爲 0.9eV。若因射極層和基極層之帶隙之差異作得比以往 者大之B P層構成時能更抑制從基極層流至射極層之基 極電流之洩漏,提高電流傳送率(=射極電流/集極 559899 五、發明說明(6) (collector)電流)之特性(參照上述之赤崎勇編著「III-V 族化合物半導體」,第23 9〜242頁),進而推知能得出 優良特性之HBT。 屬於閃鋅礦(Z i n c b 1 e n d e)結晶型,正確的說,屬於立 面體硫化鋅礦型(3?1^^1以)(參照飛利浦(?11丨11]3)著, 「半導體結合論」吉岡書店(公司),1 9 8 5年7月25日 發行,第3版),第14〜15頁)之磷化硼(BP)單結晶之晶 格常數係爲4.5 3 8 A(參照上述之「半導體裝置槪論」, 第28頁)。另外,有將氮(N)組成比爲0.97之立面體晶 之鱗氮化鎵(gallium nitride phosphide)混晶(組成式)Ga N 0.9 7PG. 03或者銦(In)之組成比爲0.1之氮化鎵·銦 0&0.9〇111〇.1()>^等之晶格常數作成爲4.538人之111族氮化 物半導體者。因此,若利用BP層和上述那樣之III族氮 化物半導體時則能構成,例如,顯現高電子移動性優良 之晶格匹配積層系之二維電子場效型電晶體(TEGFET)(K Seager著「半導體之物理學(下)」(參照吉岡書店(公 司)1991年6月25日發行第1版,第3 5 2〜3 5 3頁)。例 如,能將上述直接電子遷移型之III族氮化物半導體作 爲二維電子(TEG)之電子行走層,另外將間接電子移動 型之BP層作爲間隔(間隔)層或者電子供給層而構成 TEGFET。利用BP層之III族氮化物半導體TEGFET, 若係由對電子行走層作異類接合之間隔層或電子供給層 之帶隙作成比以往者大之磷化硼(BP)構成時則與電子行 559899 五、發明說明(7) 走層作異類接合之界面上之障壁差能更大。因此之故, 在異類接合之界面附近之電子行走層內之領域變成優於 畜積一維電子’進而得出顯現筒電子移動性之III族氮 化物半導體TEGFET。 若能利用室溫帶隙作得大之BP層時則也能使其與其 它半導體層之傳導帶之不連續性(d i s c ο n t i n u i t y)作得更 大。帶(band)之不連續性大,障壁差作得大之異類接合 構成能有效率地蓄積二維電子,進而有效於呈現高電子 移動性。屬於磁電轉換元件之赫爾(Hall)元件,若利用 電子移動性大之構造體時能良好地得出對磁性之靈敏度 更高之元件(參照片岡昭榮著「磁電轉換元件」(日刊工 業新聞社(公司),昭和46年2月1日發行第4版,第 5 6〜58頁)。因此,推知實現具備帶隙作得比以往者大之 BP層之異類接合構成也對構成發揮高積靈敏度(product sensitivity)(參照上述之「磁電轉換元件」,第56頁)之 高靈敏度之赫爾元件有所貢獻。 另外,以S i單結晶做爲基板之,例如,宵特基 (schottky)障壁(barrier)二極體,若能形成具有大於約 2eV之室溫帶障之BP層時則能助於構成具有高耐電壓 特性之肯特基障壁二極體。帶隙作得愈大,愈能將半導 體材料特性上之固有載體(intrinsic carrier)密度抑制得 低(參照上述之「III-V族化合物半導體」,第172〜174 頁),進而推知能良好地構成能在高溫下動作之耐環境 559899 五、發明說明(8) 元件。 如上述之以往例’利用帶隙作成約爲2 e V之B P層以 構成半導體一事係自來之通例。推知若能製出帶隙作成 更大之B P層時則能達成半導體元件特性之改善,提 昇。過去之硏究例,得知也有如上述那樣,形成具有約 6eV高之帶隙BP層之例(參照上述之phyS. Rev. Lett., 4(6)( 1 960))。但是,這是多結晶層,對構成半導體元件 之活性層和功能層並非一定合宜。但是,帶隙若變爲這 麼大之寬廣間隙(wide gap)半導體時則不易藉摻雜 (doping)控制傳導及載體密度。適合於構成TEGFEG之 間隙層和電子供給層或者HBT之射極層等之半導體元 件之功能層係爲室溫帶隙作成約3 e V之B P結晶層。 依有關化合物半導體之帶隙之過去硏究,得知帶隙係 隨著構成元素之平均原子序號愈小而變大之傾向(參照 笛木和男他著「應用化學序列3電子材料之化學」(參 照九善(公司),昭和56年7月20曰發行),第26〜29 頁)。平均原子序號係爲構成化合物半導體之元素之原 子序號之算術平均値。第1圖係示出各種族化合 物半導體之室溫帶隙與平均原子序號之關係。例如,由 鎵(原子序號=31)和砷(原子序號=3 3)作成之砷化鎵 (0&六8)(平均原子序號=32)之室溫帶隙係爲1.436乂(參照 上述之「半導體裝置槪論」,第28頁)。這種關係in-γ 族化合物半導體亦通用,揭露具有構成原子之平均原子序號 -10- 559899 五、發明說明(9) 愈小帶隙愈大之傾向。(參照K .

Description of the invention (1) Detailed description: (Technical field to which the invention belongs) The present invention relates to boron phosphide (BP) with a band gap at room temperature of 2.8 electron volts (eV) and 3.4 eV or less. Layer or contains boron phosphide and uses the general formula BaAlpGaYIm-a_Bu YPsAseNm (〇 < 〇 ^ l, 〇M < l, 〇 $ γ < 1,0 < α + β + γ $ 1,0 < δ $ 1,0 $ ε < 1,0 < δ + ε $ 1) The boron phosphide (BP) -based mixed crystal layer described above, a semiconductor device including these BP layers or BP-based mixed crystal layers, and the BP layer or BP-based mixed crystal layer Production method. (Prior art) Group III-V compound semiconductors made of boron (B) and group V elements of the periodic table include boron nitride (BN), boron phosphide (BP), and boron arsenide (BAs) . For example, hexahedral crystal boron nitride (BN) is an indirect migration semiconductor with a band gap of 7.5 electron volts (eV) at room temperature (see (Peifeng Hall (Company), March 1995) The first edition of the invention was published on the 30th. Teramoto wrote "Semiconductor Device Theory" on page 28.) Boron arsenide (BAs) is a well-known in-v group compound with indirect migration at a band gap of about 0.85 eV at room temperature. (Refer to "Semiconductor Device Theory" above.) In addition, boron phosphide (BP) is a type III-V compound semiconductor (see Nature, 179 (No. 4569) (1957), p. 1075), and indirect There are several types of band gaps in migrating semiconductors. For example, B. Stcne et al. Obtained a room temperature band gap of approximately 6 eV by optical absorption method on a polycrystalline BP film deposited on a quartz plate (see Phys. Rev. Lett ., Vol.4, No. 6 (1 9 60), 2 8 2 ~ 2 84). In addition, according to JL · Peret, it is summarized as 559899 5. Description of the invention (2) The band gap of BP is about 6.0eV ( (See J. Am. Ceramic Soc., 47 (l) (1 964), pp. 44 ~ 46). In addition, N.Sclar provides absolute ions based on ion radius 値 and common radius 値. The band gap of zero degree (= 0K) is 6.20eV (refer to J.Appl.Phys., 3 3 (1 0) (1 962) pages 2999 ~ 3 002). In addition, according to Manca, it is 4.2eV. Band gap (refer to J. Phys. Chem, Solids, 20 (1961), pages 268 to 273). In addition, RJArcher et al. Obtained the facade from a single crystal BP grown from a nickel phosphide melt. The room temperature band gap of bulk BP is 2 eV (see phys. Rev, Lett ·, 12 (19) (1964), pages 538 to 540). The band gap of 2.1 eV is calculated based on the theory of combined energy 値 (see J.Appl.Phys., 36 (1962 5), pp. 3-30 to 331). The band gap of boron phosphide (BP) has such large differences as described above (see J. Phys. Chem. Solid, 29 (1 96 8), page 1 02 5 ~ 1 03 2), and the case where the band gap of BP is about 2eV is a common case (refer to (1) RCAR eview, 2 5 (1 9 6 4), 159 to 167), (2) Z. anory.allg. Chem. 349 (1967), pp. 151 to 157, (3) J. Appl. Phys., 36 (1965). (4) The "Semiconductor Device Theory" mentioned above, and (5) With reference to the Peifeng Museum, the first edition was issued on May 20, 1994, and Akasaki edited "111-V compound semiconductors", p. 150). Boron phosphide (BP) and the BP-based mixed crystal system described by the composition formula BxAlyGau-YNkPJiK, 〇Sy < l, O ^ X + Y ^ l, 0 < Z ^ 1) are used as a function of constituting a semiconductor light-emitting element Floor. For example, a single layer (single layer) made of BP is used to form a buffer layer on a short-wavelength visible light-emitting diode (LED) or 559899. 5. Description of the invention (3) A laser diode (LD) has a buffer layer in the past. Example (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-275 682). In addition, an example of a light-emitting portion of a Pn junction type heterojunction structure formed from a superlattice structure of a BP monolayer and a BxAlyGa ^ .YNuPz mixed crystal monolayer is also known (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 0-2425 1 No. 4 Instructions). In addition, there is also a technique for constructing a wall layer from a single-layer row superlattice structure mixed with BxAlyGai_x_YNi_zPz (refer to Japanese Patent Application Publication No. Hei 2-2 8 8 3 7 1). The band gap at room temperature is 2eV of boron phosphide (BP), and because the barrier layer is not provided to the light-emitting layer, the above-mentioned conventional example uses a mixed crystal of BP and aluminum nitride (A1N) to improve the room. The temperature band gap is, for example, a nitrogen-containing mixed crystal layer of 2.7 eV (refer to the aforementioned Japanese Patent Application Publication No. Hei 2-288371). In addition, an example of using a BP single layer to constitute a heterobipolar transistor (hete 1 · 〇bi ρ ο 1 artra η sist 〇r) (Η BT) is also known (see J · E 1 ectr 〇chem · Soc., 1 2 5 (4) (1 97 8), pages 63 3 to 6 3 7). OeV 的 This conventional HBT is grown by using a diborane (B2H6) / phosphine (PH3) based vapor phase growth method on a silicon (Si) crystal substrate having a (100) plane. BP single layer (refer to J. Electro Chem. Soc., 1 25 (1 978) above). In addition, there is also disclosed a technique for forming a solar cell (solai · cell) by using a BP single layer having a band gap of 2. OeV as a window layer (refer to the aforementioned J. Electrochem. Soc., 125 (1978)). As described above, a conventional semiconductor device is composed of boron phosphide (B P) having a band gap of about 2 e V or a mixed crystal of B P containing the band gap. OeV's BP layer, which is technically disclosed in the above-mentioned solar cells constructed with Si at room temperature of 559899 V. Description of the invention (4) Band gap of 1.1 eV as the parent material The band gap is enlarged because the precursor is Si, which makes it impossible to effectively use the window layer (refer to the aforementioned J. Electrochem. Soc., 125 (1 97 8)). However, on the other hand, in the conventional technology of forming a BP layer using Si as a substrate, there are reports that the band gap is narrowed according to the plane orientation of the Si single crystal of the substrate (refer to Xiyong Song "Application Physics ", Vol. 45 No. 9 (1976), pp. 891 ~ 897). Another report indicates that, compared with a BP layer formed on a Si substrate having a (100) plane, a Si substrate having a (1 1 1) plane has a higher surface defect density and is therefore formed on a substrate having a (Π1) The BP layer on the surface Si substrate gradually becomes opaque (see "Applied Physics" above, pp. 895-8896). In addition, there are reports indicating that the lattice constant becomes larger due to the large number of surface defects and the band gap becomes narrower (see “Applied Physics” above, p. 896). There is a correlation between the lattice constant and the band gap-it has been known since nature that it is well known that the band gap increases as the lattice constant becomes smaller (refer to the above-mentioned "III-V compound semiconductor", Page 31). In other words, according to the previous research examples, it is instructed that, depending on the conditions for forming the BP layer, the band gap of the BP layer becomes a BP band gap smaller than the general 2eV band gap. Therefore, such a low band gap has the disadvantage that it is not easy to construct an environment-resistant semiconductor device with a high withstand voltage from a boron phosphide (BP) crystal layer. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) For example, the luminous wavelength at room temperature is 45 0nm (iianometer) and other 559899. 5. Description of the invention (5) The bonding type blue LED or LD uses room temperature with a band gap of 2.8eV. Luminescent layer. In addition, in order for the clad to act on this light-emitting layer, the barrier layer must be made of a semiconductor material with a band gap of at least about 2 eV or more at room temperature. For this reason, conventionally, in the formation of boron phosphide (BP) -based light-emitting devices, there has been a disadvantage that boron phosphide (BP), which has a band gap of about 2 eV at room temperature, cannot form a barrier layer when bonding light-emitting parts. Therefore, the conventional technique is to form a mixed crystal containing BP as described above, for example, to form a multiple crystal of BxAlyGamN ^ Pz to form a barrier layer with a high band gap (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-2 8 8 3 7 number 1). However, in the case of mixed crystals with a large number of constituent elements, controlling the composition ratio of the constituent elements requires a high degree of technology, and it is more difficult to obtain a good crystalline layer (refer to the above-mentioned "semiconductor device theory", Page 24). Yes. The conventional film formation technology has a problem that a BP-based mixed crystal layer such as a barrier layer cannot be easily formed. In addition, for example, in the conventional npn-type HBT, a BP layer system with a band gap of 2.0 eV is used as an n-type emitter (see J. Electrochem, Soc., 125 (1978) described above). On the other hand, a P-type base layer is a P-shaped Si layer (refer to J. Electrochem Soc., 1 2 5 (1 97 8)). The band gap of Si is about l.leV. Therefore, the difference in the band gap between the heterojunction junction structure of the BP emitter layer and the Si base layer is only about 0.9 eV. If the structure of the BP layer is larger than the former due to the difference in the band gap between the emitter layer and the base layer, the leakage of the base current flowing from the base layer to the emitter layer can be more suppressed, and the current transfer rate (= Emitter current / collector 559899 5. The characteristics of the invention (6) (collector) current (refer to the above-mentioned "III-V compound semiconductor" edited by Yu Akasaki, p. 23 9 ~ 242), and it can be inferred that HBT with excellent characteristics. It belongs to the crystal type of Zincb 1 ende. To be more precise, it belongs to the cubic zinc sulfide type (3? 1 ^^ 1) (refer to Philips (? 11 丨 11) 3). On "Yoshioka Bookstore (Company), July 25, 1965, 3rd Edition), pages 14 ~ 15) The lattice constant of boron phosphide (BP) single crystal is 4.5 3 8 A ( (See "Semiconductor Device Theory" above, page 28). In addition, there is a gallium nitride phosphide mixed crystal (compositional formula) having a composition ratio of nitrogen (N) of 0.97, and the composition ratio of Ga N 0.9 7PG. 03 or indium (In) is 0.1. The lattice constants of gallium nitride, indium & 0.900110.1 () > ^ etc. are made as a Group 111 nitride semiconductor of 4.538 people. Therefore, if a BP layer and a group III nitride semiconductor as described above are used, it can be constructed, for example, a two-dimensional electronic field-effect transistor (TEGFET) (K Seager, which exhibits a lattice-matched multilayer system with excellent high electron mobility). "Physics of Semiconductors (Part 2)" (refer to Yoshioka Bookstore (Company), 1st edition, June 25, 1991, pages 3 5 2 to 3 5 3). For example, the above-mentioned direct electron transfer type III A nitride semiconductor is used as a two-dimensional electron (TEG) electron walking layer, and an indirect electron-moving BP layer is used as a spacer (spacer) layer or an electron supply layer to form a TEGFET. A group III nitride semiconductor TEGFET using the BP layer, if When it is composed of a gap layer that heterogeneously bonds the electron walking layer or a band gap of the electron supply layer, which is made of boron phosphide (BP) that is larger than the previous one, it is connected to the electronic line 559899. 5. Description of the invention (7) The heterogeneous bonding of the walking layer The barrier difference at the interface can be greater. Therefore, the field in the electron walking layer near the heterojunction interface becomes better than the one-dimensional electron of the product, and a group III nitride showing the electron mobility of the tube is obtained. Semiconductor TEGFET. If the BP layer with a large room temperature band gap can be used, the discontinuity of the conduction band between it and other semiconductor layers can be made larger. The discontinuity of the band Large heterogeneous junctions with large barriers can efficiently accumulate two-dimensional electrons, which is effective in showing high electron mobility. Hall elements, which are magnetoelectric conversion elements, use structures with large electron mobility. A device with higher sensitivity to magnetism can be obtained in good time (see photo "Osaka Sakae's" Magnetoelectric Conversion Device "(Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun (Company), 4th edition, February 1st, Showa 46, Issue 5 6 ~ (Page 58). Therefore, it is inferred that the realization of a heterogeneous junction structure having a BP layer having a band gap larger than that of the conventional one also exerts high product sensitivity on the structure (refer to the above-mentioned "Magnetoelectric Conversion Element", page 56). A high-sensitivity Hull element contributes. In addition, using Si single crystal as a substrate, for example, a Schottky barrier diode, if it can form a room temperature band greater than about 2eV The barrier BP layer can help to form a Kentky barrier barrier diode with high withstand voltage characteristics. The larger the band gap is, the lower the intrinsic carrier density in the characteristics of semiconductor materials can be suppressed (see The above-mentioned "Group III-V compound semiconductor", pp. 172 to 174), and it is further inferred that an environment-resistant 559899 capable of operating at high temperatures can be well formed. 5. Description of the invention (8) The device. It is a common practice for the gap to form a BP layer of about 2 e V to constitute a semiconductor. It is inferred that if the band gap can be made to form a larger B P layer, the characteristics of the semiconductor device can be improved and improved. In the past research examples, it was found that there is also an example in which a band gap BP layer having a height of about 6 eV is formed as described above (refer to the aforementioned phyS. Rev. Lett., 4 (6) (1 960)). However, this is a polycrystalline layer, which is not necessarily suitable for the active layer and the functional layer constituting a semiconductor device. However, if the band gap becomes such a wide wide gap semiconductor, it is difficult to control doping and carrier density by doping. The functional layer suitable for semiconductor elements such as the gap layer and electron supply layer of TEGFEG or the emitter layer of HBT is a B P crystal layer with a band gap of about 3 e V at room temperature. Based on the past research on the band gap of compound semiconductors, we know that the band gap tends to become larger as the average atomic number of the constituent elements is smaller (refer to "Fujigi and Otoko" Applied Chemistry Sequence 3 Electronic Material Chemistry "(see Jiushan (Company), July 20, Showa 56), pages 26 ~ 29). The average atomic number is the arithmetic mean of the atomic numbers of the elements constituting the compound semiconductor. Fig. 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the room temperature band gap and the average atomic number of various compound semiconductors. For example, the room temperature band gap of gallium arsenide (0 & 6: 8) (average atomic number = 32) made of gallium (atomic number = 31) and arsenic (atomic number = 3 3) is 1.436 乂 (refer to the above " On Semiconductor Devices ", page 28). This relationship is also common for in-γ group compound semiconductors, and it has been revealed that the average atomic number of constituent atoms is -10- 559899 5. Explanation of the invention (9) The smaller the band gap, the larger the tendency. (Refer to K. S e a g e 1, "Physics of Semiconductors (Part 1)" (Yoshioka Bookstore (Company), 1st edition, June 10, 1991), p. 36). From the tendency of the room temperature band gap related to the average atomic number, it can be inferred that the ion-binding property makes a relatively large band gap of a III-V compound semiconductor. It is assumed that this tendency is also commonly applied to constituent elements that have a small difference in electronegativity. When covalently bonded BP is crystallized, the band gap of the BP single crystal layer is estimated to be about 3 eV. In addition, according to the "Dielectric Method" proposed by Van Vechten (see (1) J. A. Van Vechten, phys. Rev. Lett. 51 8 2 (1 96 9) »page 891) and (2) refer to Akasaki Yong edited "Group III nitride semiconductor" (Peifeng Pavilion (Company) 's first edition, December 8, 999, pages 19 ~ 21)), and calculated the band gap of BP single crystal as 2.98 eV. The theoretical calculation of this band gap, the lattice constants of single crystals of carbon (diam) (C) and silicon (Si) are set to 3.567A and 4.531A, respectively. In addition, the distances between the nearest atoms of C (diamond) and Si are set to 1.54A and 2.3 4A, respectively (refer to "Basic Chemistry Guidebook" (Nine Goods (Company), issued on August 20, Showa 45, No. 3rd Edition) 'p. 1 25 9). In addition, other calculations that are necessary for calculation are the use indications (see "Group III nitride semiconductors" above, pages 20 to 21). The current status of the project 'is suitable for the formation of a single layer of such a semiconductor device. It has not been revealed that the room temperature band gap is about 3 e V of boron phosphide (B P) and the boron phosphide (BP) containing the BP crystal. crystal. This is because the method for forming a β P crystal layer with excellent crystallinity is not clear. That is, the method of obtaining a BP-based mixed crystal with a suitable band gap when constructing -11- 559899 V. Invention Description (10) 'Semiconductor Element' is not clear. In order to improve the characteristics of a semiconductor device using a BP crystal layer, it is necessary to invent a method for forming a BP crystal layer with a band gap of about 3 eV. However, the formation of a BP crystal layer by a vapor phase growth method or the like has been carried out regardless of its origin, but a method of forming a BP crystal layer having a band gap around 3 eV is not disclosed. The present invention was created with the background of the above-mentioned prior art.

(Embodiment of the Invention) A semiconductor element provided with a semiconductor layer of boron phosphide (BP) or boron phosphide (BP) -based mixed crystal according to the present invention may be 1-6-559899. 5. The semiconductor element of the semiconductor layer described in (15) may be, for example, , Semiconductor (Silicon), scaled gallium (GaP), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and other semiconductor single crystals as substrate. For example, when LEDs or LDs or light-receiving elements are used as substrates, these semiconductor single crystals having conductivity have the advantage that they can be easily configured as light-emitting and light-receiving elements because the electrodes can be easily arranged. Compared with ιπ-ν group compound semiconductors, silicon with a high melting point (Si single crystal) has heat resistance that can withstand the growth of the epitaxial film at high temperatures around 1 000 ° C, so it can be used well Is the substrate. In addition, it can be used well as a substrate when integrating various elements. Oxide single crystals, such as sapphire (saPphire) (a-Al203 single crystal), use their electrical insulation properties to exert, for example, the function of preventing leakage of the operating current of the device. For this reason, for example, it can be well applied to an electric field effect type transistor (FET) that suppresses the amount of leakage of a drain current. In addition, diamond or silicon carbide (SiC) has a relatively high thermal conductivity. Therefore, it is particularly suitable as a substrate for power FETs and the like required for device cooling. As a substrate, the good surface orientation is a low-order miller index surface such as {1 00}, {1 1 〇}, or {Π 1}. By using these low-density exponential surfaces as angles ranging from several degrees to several tens degrees as the surface, single Si crystals can be used as substrates. Zinc-blende-type crystals such as Si, GaP, or GaAs have {1 1 1} crystal planes, which are denser than the U ○} crystal planes. Therefore, the atomic diffusion constituting the growth layer of the crystal film can be effectively inhibited from intruding into the substrate -17- 559899 5. Description of the invention (16) The plate. Single crystals with high-order Mild index surfaces such as {3 Π} and {5 11} can inhibit the invasion of constituent elements of the growth layer such as channeling (see RGWILSON and GRBREWER, ION BEAMS With Application to Ion Implantation 5, (John Wiley & Sons Inc., 1 973), pages 263 to 265, inside a single crystal substrate. However, reflecting the orientation of the surface of the substrate, the growth method of the upper crystal film growth layer has also become high-order, leading to problems such as the complexity of the process of cutting individual components. A feature of a semiconductor device having a semiconductor layer made of boron phosphide (BP) of the present invention is a boron phosphide (BP) semiconductor layer having a band gap in a specific range. A semiconductor device including a semiconductor layer made of a boron phosphide (BP) -based mixed crystal of the present invention is characterized by having a BP-based mixed crystal including a BP having a specific band gap. The BP-based mixed crystal system is a group III-V compound semiconductor mixed crystal containing boron (B) and phosphorus (P) as constituent elements. For example, the system is the general formula BuAlpGaYlni-a-piPsAseNj.s-dO'aSl, 〇 < β < 1,0 < γ < 1,0 < α + β + γ < 1,0 < δ < 1, 〇 < ε < 1,0 < δ + ε < 1) is a mixed crystal already described. More specifically, the system is a mixture of scaly inscriptions and sheds (B χ A11-χ P: 0 SXS 1), gallium phosphide and boron (BxGa ^ xPWSXSl), and indium phosphide and boron (Bxlrih PiO ^ XSl). crystal.

The mechanical or electrical specifications of boron phosphide (BP) or BP-based mixed crystal layer are appropriately selected depending on the components.

Description of the invention (17) The electron supply layer of TEGFET, for example, uses a layer thickness of about 10 nm to about 5 nm, and a carrier concentrate of about 1 X 1 〇18 cm -3 to about 5 X 1 〇 18 cm-3 η-shaped PB layer and so on. A light-emitting diode (LED) is used to efficiently lead light out of the outside. The window layer is a conductive shape of the base layer corresponding to the cover layer, etc., which is η-shaped or p-shaped, exceeding, for example, about 1 It is composed of BP or BP mixed crystal layer with good conductivity of x 丨 〇18 cm-3. In addition, the laser diode (LD), the current narrow layer is composed of a conductive layer opposite to the base layer of the upper cover layer and the like, or a BP or BP mixed crystal layer with high resistance. . Boron phosphide (BP) two-dimensional semiconductors are indirect transfer semiconductors (see "Semiconductor Device Theory" above, page 28). In contrast, the ionic binding property of Philips of BP is as small as 0.006 (refer to the above-mentioned "Semiconductor Bond Theory", pages 49 to 51). Therefore, the electrical activation rate of the dopant is high, and it is easy to obtain a low-resistance BP crystal layer with a high carrier concentration. The present invention makes good use of such a low-resistance BP layer, for example, a current diffusion layer of an LED and an ohmic contact layer of an LD or FET to form a BP-based semiconductor element. In addition, a BP-based semiconductor device that requires a conductive buffer layer, and such a low-resistance BP layer can be suitably used to form a conductive buffer layer. The BP crystal layer and the BP-based mixed crystal layer according to the present invention use, for example, the well-known organic metal chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method (see Inst. Phys. Conf. Ser.? N ο. 1 2 9 (IOP 5 Pub 1 ishing Ltd., 1 9 93), pages 157 ~ 162), molecular wire crystal film (MB E) method (see -19-559899 V. Description of the invention (18) J. Solid State Chem 133 (1997 ), Pages 269 to 272), and grow by a vapor phase growth method such as a halide method or a hydride method. The organometallic vapor deposition method is a vapor growth method using an organic compound of boron (B) as a source of boron (B). MOCVD method, for example, boron phosphide · gallium (BxGai_xP: 0 $ X $ l) mixed crystal system uses diethyl ((C2D3B), trimethylgallium ((CH3) 3Ga), or triethylgallium ( (C2H5) 3Ga), phosphine (PH3) or trihydroxy (Ui alkyl) phosphorus and other organic compounds made of organic materials and grow. Halogen (halide) of the crystalline layer of boron phosphide (BP) vapor phase To grow, for example, a halide of boron (B) such as boron trichloride (BC13) can be used as the source of boron (B), and a halide of phosphorus such as phosphorus trichloride (PC13) can be used as phosphorus ( P) Source (refer to "Journal of the Japan Society for Crystal Growth"), Vo 1.24, No. 2 (1 997), p. 150). In addition, there is also a halide method using boron trichloride (BC13) as a source of boron (B) (refer to Appl. 1 "5., 42 (1) (1 97 1), pp. 420 ~ 424). Hydride (1 ^ (11 heart (1) method is 'for example' using borane (BH3) or diborane (B2H6), etc. as a source of boron (B), using phosphine (PH3), etc. As a source of phosphorus (P), the BP crystal layer can be grown. (Refer to (1) J. Crystal Growth, 24/25 (1974), pages 193 to 196, and (2) J. Crystal Growth, 1 3 2 ( 1 9 93), pp. 611 ~ 613). According to the vapor phase growth method, for example, compared to the conventional method of cultivating phosphorus from a nickel (Ni) -phosphorus (P) melt or copper (Cu) -phosphorus (P) melt. The so-called liquid phase growth method of boron (BP) crystals (refer to J · E 1 ec 11. 〇chem. S 〇c., 1 2 0 (6) (1 9 7 3), 8 0 2 to 8 0 6 Page) 'It has simple and easy to control the layer of β P-based mixed crystal layer-20-559899 V. Description of the invention (19) The advantage of thick and mixed crystal composition ratio. In addition, according to the vapor phase growth method, it also has a BP layer or BP-based mixed crystal layers can easily form heterojunction structures with other semiconductor crystal layers Advantages. Especially according to the MOCVD method, which can instantly change the piping system of the gas source material to be supplied to the growth reactor, the composition of the crystal layer can be changed rapidly. The so-called jitter that changes the composition rapidly by borrowing a Hetero joint interface The heterogeneous joint interface structure can efficiently accumulate low-dimensional electrons. Therefore, the heterogeneous joint interface structure that is shaken with the BP layer or the BP-based mixed crystal layer formed by the MOCVD method has, for example, a method that achieves excellent electron mobility BF of TEGFET and other semiconductor elements. The temperature required to grow the BP layer or BP mixed crystal layer depends on the vapor phase growth method and the crystal form of the substrate as the crystalline material and the BP layer or BP mixed crystal layer of the target object. However, to obtain a single-crystal BP layer, it has almost nothing to do with some of the above-mentioned vapor phase growth methods, which requires a high temperature of more than .750 ° C. To use triethylboron ((C2H5) 3B) / phosphine (PH3) / hydrogen (112) reaction system at atmospheric pressure (approximately atmospheric pressure) or reduced pressure MOCVD method to obtain a single crystal BP layer, the appropriate temperature is 75 0 ° C above 1200 ° C to F (refer to the United States Patent US-6,0 69,02 1 No.) In other words, the substrate material must be selected from crystals that have heat resistance that will not deteriorate at such high temperatures. The substrate materials that have heat resistance in this high temperature area include boron phosphide (BP) single crystals (see ( 1) Z. anorg · allg · Chem ·, 349 (1967), (2) Kristall und Technik, 2 (4) (1967), pages 523 to 534, (3) Kristall und technik, 4 (4) 1 969), 4 8 7 ~ 493), and (4) above -21-559899 V. J. Electro Chem. Soc. 120 (1973) described in the description of the invention (20). Examples of sapphire (α-Α12〇3), silicon carbide (SiC) (refer to J. Appl Phys., 42 (l) (197 1) above, and silicon (silicon single crystal). High temperature exceeding 1200 ° C, The bulk of boron phosphide described by the molecular formulas B6P and B13P2 becomes easy to form (refer to J. Am Ceram. Soc., 47 (l) (1964), pages 44 ~ 46). However, it is not conducive to obtaining a single body A single crystal layer made of boron phosphide (b οr ο nm ο η 〇ph 〇sphide). Can be formed from a single crystal BP layer or a BP mixed crystal layer, for example, an electron supply layer of a TEGFET. In addition, it can constitute The barrier layer of LED or LD. The crystal form (structure) of the growing BP layer or its mixed crystal layer is generally a diffraction pattern (diffraction pattern η) generated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron diffraction. ). The spot-like diffraction points are caused by single crystals (see J. Crystal Growth, 70 (1 984), pages 5 07 to 514). In addition, according to the MOCVD method of the same reaction system To obtain a heterogeneous or polycrystalline BP crystal layer, the appropriate temperature is a lower temperature of 250 ° C ~ 75 ° C (see Said US-6,069,021 is a BP layer or a BP-based mixed crystal layer made of amorphous (am 〇rph 〇us) as the main body. When the BP layer or the BP mixed crystal layer formed on the substrate is mismatched, In the case of a multilayer structure of a phosphorous semiconductor device used for a growth layer, it has the effect of mitigating lattice mismatch, thereby achieving a growth layer with excellent crystallinity. In addition, it effectively prevents the substrate material and The difference in thermal expansion coefficient of the growth layer causes the growth layer to be peeled from the substrate surface. Therefore, for example, amorphous -22- 559899 is used as the main component. The BP layer of the body of the invention (21) can be used as a phosphorus system. Buffer layer for semiconductor devices. In addition, the buffer layer can also be made of, for example, a single crystal layer of boron phosphide (BP) grown at a higher temperature on an amorphous boron phosphide layer grown at a lower temperature. Structure (refer to the above-mentioned US Patent No. 6,0 2 9, 0 2 1). Even when using a substrate with a mismatch relationship with BP on the lattice, as long as there is an amorphous substrate interposed therebetween BP can A BP single crystal layer with excellent crystallinity is easily obtained. For example, a boron phosphide-based semiconductor light-emitting device has the advantage of forming a light-emitting portion that obtains high-intensity light emission on a buffer layer made of a self-laminated structure. In addition, for example, phosphating Boron-based HBT can help to obtain a good collector layer or 畐 丨 J collector (sub--) with few crystal defects such as misfit transitions caused by lattice mismatch on the buffer layer of the multilayer structure. collector) 〇 From the BP-based mixed crystal layer, a growth layer that can be lattice-matched to a single crystal substrate can be formed. For example, a boron phosphide-gallium mixed crystal (Bo. ^ Gao 98P) with a boron composition ratio of 0.02 (boron phosphide mixed crystal ratio = 2%) (refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1 1-266006) is A BP-based mixed crystal layer with a lattice constant of 5.43 09A. Therefore, from Bo.c2Gao.98P (refer to the aforementioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1 1-26 600 6), a growth layer matching the lattice of Si single crystal (lattice constant = 5.4 3 0 9 A) and The Si single crystal lattice matching growth layer used as the substrate can also be composed of BP mixed crystal ratio of 33% boron indium phosphide mixed crystal (BG.33In〇.67P). It can be composed of a PB mixed crystal growth layer that matches the lattice of the substrate, for example, a good buffer. In addition, it is possible to construct a magnetic induction layer exhibiting a Hall element suitable for obtaining a high product sensitivity. -23- 559899 5. Invention Description (22). In addition, it can be suitably used for a light transmitting layer (window layer) of a light receiving element. The semiconductor device provided with a semiconductor made of boron phosphide (BP) of the present invention is composed of a semiconductor layer having boron phosphide (BP) having a band gap at room temperature of 2.8 electron volts (eV) or more and 3.4 eV or less. In addition, a semiconductor device including a semiconductor layer made of a boron phosphide (BP) -based mixed crystal of the present invention is a BP-based mixed crystal composed of a BP having a band gap of 2.8 electron volts (eV) or more and 3.4 eV or less at room temperature. Semiconductor layer. The room temperature is about 20 ° C. That is, the BP or BP mixed crystal layer with an intermediate band gap previously unknown is used to form a BP-based semiconductor, using a band gap larger than 2eV of the conventional BP, but not as high as 4.2eV to 6.0eV reported in the past. element. A boron phosphide (BP) layer with a band gap of 2.8 e V to 3.4 e V at room temperature can be formed by specifying its growth conditions. In particular, it can be formed by setting both the growth rate and the supply ratio of raw materials to a predetermined range. The growth rate of the boron phosphide (BP) layer or the BP-based mixed crystal layer is well between 20A and 300A per minute. If the growth rate is a slow rate of 20 A / min or less, the phosphorus (P) constituent element or its compound cannot be sufficiently inhibited from detaching from the surface of the growth layer and volatilizing. As a result, film formation may not be achieved. If it is set to exceed a rapid growth rate of 300 A / m i η, the band gap obtained is unstable and unsatisfactory. In addition, if the growth rate is increased in vain, the polycrystalline crystal layer tends to be generated, which is not good for obtaining a single crystal layer. In addition, in accordance with the growth rate, the supply ratio of good raw materials is specified. -24- 559899 V. Description of the invention (23) The range is 15 or more and 60 or less. In the case of forming the BP layer, the supply ratio of the raw material means the ratio of the supply amount of the phosphorus (P) source to the growth reaction system and the supply amount of the boron source. In addition, if it is a case where a BP-based mixed crystal is formed, it means the ratio of the total supply amount of the Group V element source containing scale (P) to the total supply of the Group 111 element source containing Boron (B). Taking the formation of boron phosphide · indium (BxInuPiO ^ XSl) mixed crystal as an example, it means that for the growth reaction system, the supply amount of phosphorus (P) source is the total amount of boron (B) source and indium (In) source. ratio. That is, it is a so-called V / III ratio. If the V / III ratio is less than 15, the surface of the growth layer may cause unwanted clutter. On the contrary, if the ratio of π / ν exceeds 60, it is easy to form a phosphorus-rich (P) growth layer from the perspective of stoichiometric theory. Excessive phosphorus (P) enters the position where boron (B) should occupy on the crystal lattice, and becomes a donor (refer to "The 100th Collection of Semiconductor Technology in the Ultra LSI Era [5]" by Ohno Shono (Ohm Issued by the company (company) on May 1, Showa 59, Electronic Journal Electronic Volume 29 No. 5 (May, Showa 59) Addendum, page 1 21). BP or BP is a type of mixed crystal The sphalerite crystal originally had a valence electron band structure that can easily obtain the narrow band gap of the P-shaped semiconductor layer (refer to Ikuko Toshiaki and Ikuko Toyoaki co-authored "Basic Introduction to Compound Semiconductors", issued by Peifeng Pavilion (Company) September 10, 1991 (First edition, pages 14-17). Nevertheless, the stoichiometric composition tends to form phosphorus-rich (P), which leads to problems that prevent the formation of low-resistance P-shaped crystal layers. Review the past gas phase growth The formation conditions of the BP layer on the method, diborane (B 2 Η 6) / phosphine (P Η 3) / hydrogen (Η 2) series hydride method, there are descriptions of growth -25- 559899 V. Description of the invention (24 ) When the speed is about 120A / min ~ 70A / min (refer to the above Jpn. J. Appl, Phys., 1 3 (1 974)). In addition, the hydride growth method indicates that the V / III ratio (= PH3 / B2H6) must be about 50 or more to grow the BP layer (refer to Jpn J. Appl above). Phys., 1 3 (1 974). In particular, it is stated that in order to obtain a single crystal BP layer, the V / III ratio must be increased to 25 0 (refer to Jpn · J. Appl. Phys., 1 3 (1 974 above). )). In other cases where diborane and phosphine are used as the raw materials to form the BP layer, the minimum growth rate must be set to 400 A / min (see "Semiconductor Technology (Part 1)" by Kemono Shono. Consortium) 9th printing issued on June 25, 992), pages 74 to 77). To obtain a BP layer that exhibits semiconductor properties, V / III must be 100 times or more (refer to the above-mentioned "Semiconductor Technology (I)" ", Pages 76 to 77). Therefore, the conventional B2H6 / PH3 / H2 hydride method has not reached the low growth rate mentioned in the present invention, and the V / III ratio satisfies the specified range of the present invention. In the halide method using chloride as a raw material, although the V / III ratio is set to satisfy the scope of the present invention, it is used as a halide of the raw material. During vapor phase growth, the BP layer or Si layer plate itself is eroded due to the halide generated by decomposition, which causes the problem that it is difficult to obtain a BP layer with a flat surface. At the same time, the growth rate and V / Under the conditions of both III ratios, it is appropriate to grow the BP layer or the BP-based mixed crystal layer by the M CVD method. In particular, the MOCVD method using a triborate (t r a a 1 ky 1 boron) compound as a source of boron (B) (see inst. Phys. Conf. Ser., No. l29 above) can be used well. Among trihydroxy boron compounds, especially -26- 559899 V. Description of the invention (25) MOCVD method using triethylboron ((C2H03B) can easily perform an amorphous BP layer at a low temperature, or The formation of BP-based mixed crystal layer, and the formation of single crystal layer can also be performed at high temperature. Trimethylboron ((H3) 3B) is the same as the boron and diborane at room temperature, and it should be a low temperature. The formation of a BP layer or a BP crystal layer is not as suitable as trimethyl boron. To form a BP layer or a BP crystal layer at a low temperature is suitable as a boron (B) source is a boiling point M 'organic liquid at normal temperature Boron compounds. For example, when a triethylboron / phosphine / hydrogen MOCVD reaction system is used to form a single crystal layer of boron phosphide (BP), the growth temperature is 85 (TC above 1150. (: Below. More preferably, the system 90 ° C or higher and 1100 ° C or lower. A good temperature is 95 ° T: ~ 105 ° t. For example, when the V / III ratio is set to 30 at 950 ° C, it is stable. A single crystal layer of boron phosphide (BP) with a band gap of 2.9 eV is obtained. The band gap (= Eg) is, for example, from the general photo luminescen ce: PL) method, cathode cold light (cathode 1 uminescence: CL), or the relationship between absorption coefficient and photon (phot ο η) energy (refer to Zeager's "Physics of Semiconductors (Part 2)" above, pp. 390 ~ 450 Figure 2 shows the photon energy of an un-dope BP layer on the surface of a Si single crystal substrate having a P-shaped (1 Π) plane with boron (B) added under the above conditions. The dependence of the absorption coefficient (absorption c (Efficient). The band gap at room temperature obtained from the relationship between the self-absorption coefficient (a: cm 1 and photon energy (hv: eV) is about 3. leV. That is, related For BP crystals, the rate of change (temperature coefficient) of the band gap according to temperature is known to be negative (-) 4.5x1 0_4eV per unit of absolute temperature (refer to the above-mentioned Z. -27- 559899. V. Description of the invention (26) anorg. Allg. Chem., 3 49 (l 967)). The negative sign of this temperature coefficient means the lower the temperature, the higher the band gap. Therefore, for example, the band gap system of the BP layer at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (= 77K) It is about 3.2 eV. In this way, the growth rate and V / III ratio can be made within the scope of the present invention, and the present invention can be obtained. BP layer. In addition, FIG. 3 shows magnesium (Mg) grown by using the same MOCVD reaction system as above, and the growth rate and the V / III ratio were set to 100A / min and 60 at a temperature of 95 ° C. An example of the CL spectrum of a doped P-shaped boron phosphide (BP) layer. This spectrum is measured at a temperature of 30K. Boron phosphide (BP) is an indirect migration semiconductor, so CL spectrum is suitable for obtaining at 77K or lower. The carrier concentration of the P-shaped BP layer used as the sample was about 8 × 1018 αιΤ3. In addition, the layer thickness is about 2.2 // m. The components of the CL spectrum shown in Figure 3, if analyzed by a general peak separation method, are spectra with a peak wavelength of about 3 78 5A (shown by the symbol "SP 1" in Figure 3), and The spectrum of the peak wavelength is about 5696A (indicated by the symbol "SP2"). "SP2" can be speculated to be caused by the "deep" impurity level. In addition, the characteristic of the spectrum shown by "SP2" is that the emission intensity is confirmed to decrease with time. On the other hand, "SP 1" is a spectrum estimated to be a band-end absorption, and a band gap of about 3.2 eV can be calculated from its peak wavelength (3 7 8 5 A). For example, an undoped boron phosphide (BP) layer grown by the MOCVD method of triethylboron ((C2H5) 3B) / phosphine (PH3) / hydrogen (H2) is used as an example. Generally, an amorphous layer has High band gap. In particular, for example, at room temperature, the band gap of a BP amorphous layer containing distortion caused by the lattice mismatch with the base layer of -28- 559899 V. Invention description (27) generally becomes 3.0 e V To 3.4 e V. Generally, the band gap of a BP polycrystalline layer grown by increasing the growth rate tends to become smaller. In particular, for a film having a layer thickness greater than about 2 to 3 "m, the band gap may be reduced to about 2.8 eV to 3.0 eV. In addition, a single layer grown under the conditions of a growth rate and a V / III ratio in the appropriate range described above The crystalline BP layer can obtain the intermediate band gap between the amorphous layer and the polycrystalline layer. By using the boron phosphide (BP) having the band gap of the present invention, it is possible to form a band gap that has never existed, and generally BaAlpGaym α_β_γP §AseN 1 _δ-ε (〇 < α £ ΐ), 0 < β < 1 »0 < γ < 1 »0 < (χ + β + γ = 1, 〇 < δ < 1 > 0 < ε < 1 »〇 $ δ + ε ^ 1) described in the PB-based mixed crystal. For example, by using boron phosphide (BP) of the present invention with a band gap of 2.8eV or more and 3-4eV or less, a phosphorous boron arsenide mixed crystal with a band gap of 1.5eV or more and 3.4eV or less at room temperature (B δδA5ε: 0 < δ < 1 ’〇 < ε < 1 'δ + ε = 1). Using conventional BP crystals with a band gap of about 2.0 eV, only a band gap with boron arsenide (B as) of about 1.5 eV or more can be formed (refer to the above-mentioned "II__group compound semiconductor", page 150), phosphorus B P δ A s mixed crystal with a narrow band gap of about 2.0 eV (Bp) < δ < 1,0 < ε < 1, δ + ε = 1). In addition, the use of boron phosphide (BP) related to the present invention with a band gap of 2.8eV to 3.4eV can form a boron phosphide-gallium mixed crystal (BxGa ^) with a band gap of 2.3eV to 3.4eV at room temperature. xP: 0 < X < 1). Because the band gap of gallium phosphide (GaP) at room temperature is 2 · 3 e V (refer to the "Semiconductor Theory" above, page 28), if the crystal is mixed with boron phosphide (BP) to Increasing the mixed crystal ratio of BP-29- 559899 5. In the description of the invention (28), that is, by increasing the composition ratio (= X) of boron (B), a mixed crystal of (BxGanPiiXXcl) with a content of 2.3 eV or more can be formed. However, the BxGauPWKl) mixed crystal formed by the conventional BP with a band gap of 2.0eV can only form a BxGa ^ xPacXd) mixed crystal with a narrow band gap of about 2.0eV to 2.3eV. Such as B X G a 1 _ X P (0 < X < 1) The mixed crystal has the advantage that a BP-based mixed crystal that does not contain arsenic as a constituent element can constitute a boron phosphide-based semiconductor device that has been considered to prevent pollution to the environment. The BP-based mixed crystal composed of the BP crystal of the present invention having a band gap of 2.8 eV or more and 3.4 eV or less, as in the above-mentioned example, has a wide range not found in conventional BP-based mixed crystals and has a high band gap. For this reason, for example, it is particularly useful in forming a barrier layer for a light-emitting layer provided to emit short-wavelength light. For example, a Bο.μΑΙο.μP mixed crystal with a boron composition ratio (= X) of 0.90 can be used for a light-emitting layer made of a gallium nitride-indium mixed crystal (Ga.75In (). 25N) of a cubic crystal. Form the barrier layer. In addition, boron phosphide (BP) or BP-based mixed crystal systems are sphalerite-type crystals, and are in a band structure that can be easily obtained from their valence electron bands (refer to the "Basic Introduction to Compound Semiconductors" above) to obtain P The shape of the layer. Therefore, for example, unlike a hexahedral gallium nitride (h-GaN), a barrier layer of a P-shape and a low resistance can be easily formed. Near-ultraviolet light with a blue-violet emission wavelength of 443 0A is emitted from the light-emitting layer of GamInmN in the façade crystal. The heterojunction structure has the advantage of a single or double heterojunction structure with a blue band emitting pn junction type light emitting portion. Even more -30- 559899 V. Description of the invention (29). The mixed crystal systems of BG.9GA1 (). 1 () P and Ga.75In (). 25N have the same lattice constant (= 4.62 8 A) (The lattice constant of the indium nitride (InN) of the cubic crystal is calculated at 4.98 A: refer to the above-mentioned "Group 111-V compound semiconductor", page 330). In other words, since the BP mixed crystal of the present invention can form a barrier layer matching the row lattice of the light-emitting layer, it can constitute a light-emitting portion of the lattice matching system. The crystalline layer having a mutual lattice matching relationship becomes a good crystalline layer with few crystal defects caused by the lattice matching. For this reason, high-intensity light emission is emitted from the light-emitting part of the lattice matching system one by one, which is further helpful for realizing a boron phosphide-based semiconductor light-emitting device with high brightness. Furthermore, a crystalline layer having a mutual lattice matching relationship means a crystalline layer having a relationship in which the degree of lattice mismatch is within ± 0.4%. In addition, by using the boron phosphide (BP) layer or the BP-based mixed crystal layer of the present invention, a light-emitting portion suitable for constituting a lattice matching system of LED or LD can be conveniently constructed. For example, the composition ratio of the barrier layer made of η-formed p-shaped boron phosphide (BP: lattice constant: 4.5 3 8 A) and self-phosphorus (P) is 0.03 phosphorous gallium nitride (GaNQ.97P (). H: Lattice constant = 4.5 3 8 A) Mixed light-emitting layers can form a lattice-matching system, for example, a pn-junction light-emitting portion. In addition, from a planar crystal with a disk composition ratio of 0.10 / < £ G a N 〇9 ο Ρ ο 1 () Create a Z light emitting layer and a barrier layer made of boron phosphide · gallium (B0.93Ga0.07P) with a gallium (Ga) composition ratio of 0.07. , Can easily constitute the light-emitting part of the lattice matching system. Similarly, using a gallium nitride arsenide (GaNuAsxiOSXy) as a light-emitting layer can also form a lattice-matching light-emitting portion. However, compared to the growth energy of gallium nitride (GaN) under standard conditions (-) 26.2Kcal / -31-559899 V. Description of the invention (30) mol, the growth energy of GaAs is (-) 19.2 kcal / mol. (Refer to Japanese Patent Application Publication No. Hei 10-3483487). On the other hand, the growth energy of GaP is smaller than (-) 29.2 kcal / mol, and the growth energy of GaN is smaller (refer to the aforementioned Japanese Patent Application Publication No. Hei 10-53487). For this reason, compared to the GaNi.xASx mixed crystal, the GaNuPx mixed crystal can be formed easily and easily. The barrier layer, compared to the GaN, _XPX light-emitting layer, is composed of a BP layer or a BP-based mixed crystal layer with a larger band gap at room temperature. From about (KleV or more, preferably 0.3 eV or more, a high band gap BP layer or a BP-based mixed crystal layer can constitute a barrier layer functioning sufficiently as a barrier layer of the light emitting layer. In addition, the boron phosphide of the present invention ( BP) or BP-based mixed crystals, as described above, have a band gap that can transmit visible light of short wavelengths. Therefore, for example, adjusting the boron composition ratio (= X) to obtain BxGai_xP with a band gap of 2.7eV or more (Using BP crystal with a band gap of 3.0eV at room temperature is 0.4 ^ × < 1) An LED light-emitting transmission layer (wavelength) having a transmittance with a wavelength of approximately 4 5 90 A long can be formed well. In addition, from boron phosphide-indium (BχΙηι-χΡ) mixed crystals with a band gap in the range of 2.8eV to 3.4eV, it can be used as a light-emitting LED or surface-emitting LD with a wavelength longer than approximately 4430 Α (see Iga and Koyama co-authored "Area Luminescence Laser" (Ohm (Company), issued September 25, 990, first edition, first print), pages 4-5). In addition, it can be used as a reflector for LED or surface emitting laser applications (refer to the above-mentioned "surface emitting laser", pages 118 to 119). -32- 559899 V. Description of the invention (31) A laminated structure composed of a GaNi_XPX mixed crystal and a BP layer or a BP-based mixed crystal of the present invention, which can be easily grown, can constitute a light-receiving portion for a light-receiving element. For example, a bonded structure of boron phosphide (BP) or BP-based mixed crystal layer and a semiconductor layer having a lattice mismatch with these layers of 0.4% or less can constitute a signal / noise intensity ratio, that is, a large S / N ratio , Light-receiving section for light-receiving element applications with excellent light-receiving sensitivity. In particular, for example, a boron phosphide (BP) layer and a semiconductor layer that matches the lattice of this layer, for example, a light-receiving portion made of a structure that is heterogeneously bonded to the above-mentioned GaN ^ Px layer can constitute an idling current. (Id 1 ingcur 1 · ent) A light-receiving part for a high-sensitivity light-receiving element with a low light-receiving property. In addition, the BP layer or the BP-based mixed crystal layer of the present invention is useful as a light-transmitting layer capable of efficiently introducing a light-measuring object into a light-receiving layer. In particular, short-wavelength visible light such as a BP layer or a BP-based mixed crystal layer having a relatively high range band gap of 2.8eV or more, which is not available in the past, can be efficiently transmitted even with blue light, and therefore, it can be effectively used for Short-wavelength visible light is used as the window layer of the light-receiving element of the photometric object. A heterojunction structure made of a boron phosphide (BP) layer or a BP-based mixed crystal layer and a semiconductor layer matching the lattice of these layers has the advantage of enabling carriers, such as electrons, to be transported at high speed. For example, a BP layer or a BP mixed crystal layer and a heterojunction bonding structure system of GaN ^ Px mixed crystal are suitable for forming a functional layer of a TEGFET that requires high-speed mobility of electrons. A direct migration G aN i _ XPX mixed Since the crystal layer can exhibit high electron mobility, it is particularly suitable for an electrical f-walking layer constituting a TEGFET. In addition, the BP layer or the BP-based mixed crystal layer can be composed with the electron walking layer -33- 559899 V. Description of the invention (32) Heterogeneous bonding 'to constitute an electron supply layer that obtains the function of supplying electrons in the electron walking layer. In addition, the B P layer or the B P-based mixed crystal layer of the present invention can also constitute a spacer layer disposed between the electron supply layer and the electron walking layer. The band gap of the electron supply layer or the spacer layer is preferably about 0.2 eV or more, and more preferably about 0.3 eV or more than the constituent material of the electron walking layer. According to the general formula BaAlpGaylm.a.piPsASeNne (0 < α < 150 < β < 1 »0 < γ < 1 »0 < α + β + γ < 1 »〇 < δ < 1,0 < ε < 1, 0 < δ + ε $ 1). In particular, a GaN 丨 _χ Pχ mixed crystal layer is easier to form than an arsenide for the reasons described above. In addition, if the band gap bowing based on the composition ratio of phosphorous (P) of GaNuPx mixed crystal is used (see Appl Phys Lett., 60 (20) (1992), pages 2540 ~ 2 542), change by Composition of phosphorus (p) in the field of direct migration ° /. Degree, can change the band gap. For example, if the composition ratio of phosphorus (P) is 5 ° /. It can reduce the band gap from 3.2 ^ to about 2.86 ¥. That is, it has a simple composition from GaN ^ Px mixed crystals and can correspond to the composition ratio of phosphorus (P). The band gap from the spacer layer or electron supply layer made of the BP layer or BP-based mixed crystal layer is good as described above. Advantages of the band-gap electron walking layer. For example, as shown in the pattern example in Fig. 4, on a substrate 401 made of sapphire with a plane orientation of (000 1) (C plane), for example, 2.8 eV or more in accordance with (1), 3.4 In the range below eV, it is well above 3eV, and the band gap layer thickness (= d) is about 100A of undoped high resistance boron phosphide.

The first buffer layer 502 provided on the single crystal plate 501 is formed at a low temperature. It is grown, for example, made of amorphous n-shaped boron phosphide (BP). The second buffer layer 5 0 3 is grown at a higher temperature than the first buffer layer 5 02, for example, silicon (Si ) Doped η-shaped PB single crystal layer. The magnetic induction layer 504 is composed of boron phosphide (BP) (melting point: 3 000 ° C) (refer to "Semiconductor Device Theory" above, page 28) The same high melting point gallium nitride (G aN: Hexahedral crystal h-G aN melting point)> 1 700 ° C (refer to "Semiconductor Device Theory" above) Or gallium phosphorous nitride (GaN ^ xP ^ iXXci), etc. The magnetic induction layer 504 is preferably composed of a lattice mismatch with the base layer (if the multilayer structure shown in FIG. 5 is the second buffer layer 5 03). And it is composed of materials that match the lattice. The absolute value of the degree of lattice mismatch (△: the unit is the following formula is calculated from the lattice constant (= aQ) of the base layer and the lattice constant (= a) of the stacked layer.

Furthermore, an ohmic electrode made of, for example, gold (Au) or Au alloy is placed on the 4 ends of the magnetic induction layer 504 that has a cross shape remaining as a magnetic induction portion (Hall cross portion). Such a configuration can provide a high sensitivity Hull element with a product sensitivity (p r d u c t s en t s i t i v i t y) at room temperature of approximately 15 m V / m A · K G for environmental resistance. Since the boron phosphide (BP) of the present invention has a large band gap larger than the conventional band gap (approximately 2 eV), it is possible to form a BP-based mixed crystal having a large band gap not previously available from the BP of the invention. Therefore, when the band gap is different from -38- 559899 V. Invention Description (37) When the semiconductor layer is made of a heterojunction structure, its degree of freedom can be expanded 'and various heterojunction structures can be developed. For example, BP (band gap 2eV) with a small band gap in the past cannot match the GaN line lattice of BP with a GaNQ 97 P ο · 〇3 (band gap 3 e V) '. . On the other hand, from the BP related to the present invention, especially the BP with a band gap greater than 3eV, since it can constitute a barrier layer that imparts a barrier effect on GaN 0.97 P .. 3, it can be made a "carrier" The lattice matching system is a heterogeneous joint structure. From such heterogeneous junctions, as described above, there are heterogeneous junction devices for obtaining environmentally-resistant TEGFETs, Hull elements, and the like. If a TEGFET using the BP or BP mixed crystal with a large band gap according to the present invention is used as a buffer layer, leakage of gate current can be particularly suppressed, and therefore, a TEGFET with excellent mutual conductance (gm) can be obtained. In addition, if the Hull element is composed of a B P or B P-based mixed crystal with a large band gap as described in the present invention, a buffer layer can suppress the leakage of the operating current, thereby achieving a Hull element with high integrated sensitivity. A semiconductor layer made of the BP or BP-based mixed crystal described in the present invention can exhibit a larger band gap than the conventional one, so it can create a variety of semiconductor layers and a large deviation (ba η d-〇ffset) that has not been achieved before. Heterogeneous joint construction. The heterojunction structure of a semiconductor layer made using the BP or BP-based mixed crystal described in the present invention is a heterojunction structure with a large discontinuity as described above, and therefore it is particularly superior to being used as a barrier layer.
