Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of lattice-mismatched epitaxy, and in particular to the field of creating lattice-mismatched devices based on relaxed InGaAs alloys on Si substrates.
- lattice-matched epitaxial layers i.e. the crystal structure of the layer has the same lattice constant as that of the substrate.
- This lattice-matching criterion has been important in creating high quality materials and devices, since lattice-mismatch will create stress and in turn introduce dislocations and other defects into the layers. The dislocations and other defects will often degrade device performance, and more importantly, reduce the reliability of the device.
- lattice-mismatched layers are numerous.
- one important composition is in the range of 20-60% In. These compositions allow the fabrication of 1.3 and 1.55 ⁇ m optical devices as well as high electron mobility transistors with superior performance on GaAs-based epitaxial layers integrated on Si substrates. Alloys in the desired composition range are lattice- mismatched to GaAs, and thus usually suffer from high dislocation densities.
- One known method to minimize the number of dislocations reaching the surface of a relaxed, mismatched layer is to compositionally grade the material (in this case through grading the In composition) so that the lattice-mismatch is extended over a great thickness.
- the final surface must be smooth with respect to standard optical lithography techniques and the total layer structure InGaAs epitaxial films/GaAs epitaxial films/Si substrate must be able to accommodate thermal expansion mismatch.
- Compositional grading is typically accomplished in InGaAs alloys by grading the In composition at a low growth temperature, typically less than 500°C.
- the dominant technique for depositing relaxed InGaAs layers is molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). MBE has a limited growth rate; therefore, the growth of these relaxed buffers is tedious and costly.
- the initial substrate is typically bulk GaAs, not a GaAs epitaxial film of high material quality on Si, and the surface of the InGaAs film is generally not smooth enough for high density optical lithography.
- a supply of virtual InGaAs substrates (a Si substrate with a high quality, relaxed InGaAs layer at the surface) with a low surface roughness would be in demand commercially.
- MOCVD metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
- Another object of the invention is to allow the fabrication of relaxed high quality InGaAs alloys on a Si substrate with the MOCVD technique. These virtual InGaAs substrates can be used in a variety of applications, in particular 1.3 and 1.55 ⁇ m optical devices and high-speed microwave transistors. It is a further object of the invention to provide the appropriate conditions during growth in which it is possible to achieve high quality material and devices using this InGaAs/GaAs.
- the invention provides a method of processing semiconductor materials, including providing a virtual substrate of a GaAs epitaxial film on a Si substrate; and epitaxially growing a relaxed graded layer of In x Ga ⁇ . x As at a temperature ranging upwards from about 600°C with a subsequent process for planarization of the
- the invention also provides a semiconductor structure including a substrate of a
- FIGs. 1 A and IB are schematic process flows of two methods of producing epitaxial GaAs-on-Si virtual substrates
- FIG. 2 is a simplified block diagram of a semiconductor structure in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating RMS roughness for structures grown at different temperatures
- FIG. 9 is a simplified block diagram of a semiconductor structure of the invention with a device configured thereon;
- FIGs. 10A and 10B are surface scanned images of III-V compound epitaxial graded layers before and after a planarization step.
- FIG. 1A shows an exemplary embodiment of a virtual substrate structure 100.
- the structure is produced by grading SiGe from 0 to 100%) Ge and depositing a uniform cap of Ge (104) on a Si substrate 102, and thereafter depositing an epitaxial layer 106 of GaAs. Since GaAs is lattice matched to Ge, the grading procedure results in a low defect density, GaAs film.
- This virtual substrate growth is actually a multi-step process that involves epitaxy, planarization, and careful preparation of the Ge surface prior to the GaAs epitaxy. These processes are described in detail in Currie et. al., Appl. Phys. Lett., 72, 1718 (1998) and Ting et. al., J. Elec. Mater., 27, 451 (1998), both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- FIG. IB is another exemplary embodiment of a GaAs virtual substrate structure 110.
- This structure is produced by grading SiGe to uniform 100% Ge 114 on a Si substrate 112, and thereafter depositing an epitaxial layer 116 of GaAs, as previously described.
- the GaAs/SiGe/Si substrate is produced, it is bonded (118) to a second Si substrate 120 having a semiconductor or dielectric layer 122.
- the first Si substrate and the SiGe graded layers are subsequently removed (124) to provide a high quality GaAs layer directly on Si, thus the resulting structure 110.
- Ge has a thermal expansion coefficient similar to III-V materials, the removal of the SiGe buffer eliminates a thermally mismatched layer and thus allows for the growth of thicker
- the second silicon substrate can have a surface layer dielectric, enabling the production of GaAs/Insulator/Si substrates.
- the introduction of dielectric layers can be useful as a diffusion barrier between the InGaAs and Si during subsequent device processing.
- Compositionally graded buffers are implemented in lattice mismatched heteroepitaxy to maintain a low threading dislocation density and to achieve a completely relaxed growth template.
- MOCVD is a well-established growth technique that is capable of growth rates significantly greater than that of MBE. Therefore, MOCVD is a more practical growth tool for fabricating graded buffers.
- the ability to grow In x Gai_ x As graded buffers with MOCVD facilitates the manufacture of commercial lattice-mismatched devices, including 1.3 ⁇ m wavelength emitting lasers on GaAs substrates or virtual GaAs substrates on Si.
- FIG. 2 is a simplistic block diagram of a semiconductor structure 200 including a substrate 202 of epitaxial GaAs on
- Si on which is grown a relaxed graded layer 204 of In x Ga ⁇ . x As.
- Exemplary samples were grown in a Thomas Swan atmospheric research reactor on bulk n + GaAs substrates.
- the buffers were characterized with plan-view and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (PV-TEM and X-TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD).
- PV-TEM and X-TEM characterization were done with a JEOL 2000FX microscope.
- the XRD was performed with a Bede D 3 triple axis diffractometer.
- the AFM experiments were conducted with a Digital Instruments D3000 Nanoscope. In order to explore graded In x Ga ⁇ . x As relaxation, exemplary samples were graded to xi n ⁇ O.06 (« 0.4%) mismatch). Such a small amount of mismatch produces excellent relaxed layers independent of most growth parameters.
- the trimethylgallium (TMG) flow was fixed at 0.030 sccm throughout the graded buffer growth sequence. Compositional grading was accomplished by stepping the trimethylindium (TMI) flow rate by approximately 0.005 sccm up to a final flow rate.
- a visual inspection of the surface morphology reveals a strong dependence on growth temperature, a surprising result for such a low lattice mismatch.
- the sample grown at 550°C is not specular to the eye, i.e., it is visibly rough.
- a criterion for applications is that there must be a great amount of strain relief in conjunction with a low threading dislocation density.
- the table shows that the indium composition steadily increased with decreasing temperature (with the exception of the structure grown at 600°C), which is due to the lower cracking temperature for TMI.
- the growth rate decreased with decreasing temperature, which in turn provided for a higher grading rate at lower temperature. It should be noted that there is a small error ( ⁇ 30 ⁇ A) in the measurement of the graded buffer thickness due to the calibration of the TEM and the tilting of the TEM specimens.
- the structure grown at 500°C had a noticeably greater residual strain in the structure, and there is no general trend among the other samples.
- the efficiency of the graded buffers at relieving strain was compared by calculating the equilibrium plastic strain rate (strain/thickness) and the overall equilibrium plastic strain.
- the equilibrium plastic rate is given by
- the percentage of the equilibrium strain relieved (percent relaxation) is also listed in the table of FIG. 4. All the samples showed a similar degree of relaxation ( ⁇ 80- 85%o). At such a low mismatch, it is difficult to distinguish the most effective growth conditions for strain relief. The disparities in strain relief were expected to be more pronounced at higher indium compositions. In general, higher growth temperatures allow for more efficient strain relief.
- FIGs. 5 and 6 show the X- TEM micrographs of these two structures. Both structures have threading dislocation densities below the X-TEM limit ( ⁇ 10 8 /cm 2 ). Thus, the very poor structure morphology of the 550°C sample is not due to a very high defect density in the top In x Ga ⁇ _ x As layer.
- the uniform cap layer of the structure grown at 550°C does show additional semicircular regions in the top of the film.
- the sharpest peak in the 2 ⁇ direction is from the sample grown at 700°C.
- the spread in the 2 ⁇ direction for the 550°C sample is consistent with a spread in lattice constant due to indium composition variations or defect formations.
- the surface roughening In the low temperature growth regime (500°C), the surface roughening is kinetically limited, as the atoms do not have the mobility to attach to sites that cause the long-range variations seen at higher growth temperatures.
- the high temperature growth regime >600°C
- FIG. 9 is a simplified block diagram of a semiconductor structure 900 of the invention with a device configured thereon.
- a virtual substrate 902 of In x Ga ⁇ . x As is created, new optoelectronic and electronic devices can be configured on top of the structure.
- heterostructure devices composed of other alloy compositions can now be fabricated on these substrates.
- an InGaAs graded layer 904 and uniform cap layer 906 can be provided on the substrate 902.
- Layers 908, 910, 912 provided thereafter can be layers of the Al y (In x Ga ⁇ _ x ) ⁇ . y As alloy family.
- layers 908 and 912 are the cladding layers of a heterostructure laser, and layer 910 is the active region.
- FIGs. 10A and 10B show AFM images of InGaP graded layers on GaP substrate after epitaxy and after epitaxy and a planarization step, respectively. The rms roughness after the planarization step is far improved from the original surface after epitaxy.
