- the first group of the invention of the present invention relates to a high-purity hBN single crystal that emits ultraviolet light in the far ultraviolet region, a process for synthesizing the same, and a light emitting device comprising the single crystal.
- the high-purity hBN single crystal that emits ultraviolet light in the far ultraviolet region is obtained by subjecting the raw material hBN to high-temperature and high-pressure treatment in the presence of high-purity Al-Li metal or Al-Li earth boronitride solvent. And a recrystallization process.
- Temperature and pressure conditions for that purpose require high temperature and high pressure. As a rough guide, 20,000 atmospheres and 1500 ° C or more are preferable. These conditions are the temperature and pressure conditions under which the raw material boron nitride is recrystallized into hBN in the presence of a solvent, during which the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal boronitride used as the solvent is oxidized, It must be stable without being decomposed.
- cBN can be recrystallized into hBN even under thermodynamically stable conditions.However, as the pressure increases, the conversion to cBN proceeds easily, and hBN recrystallization proceeds. Requires a high reaction temperature, which is a stable condition for hBN. That is, about 6 GPa is appropriate as the upper limit pressure for hBN recrystallization, and at pressures higher than this, the synthesis conditions must be set in the thermodynamic stability conditions of hBN, and the temperature at that time must be set. Is around 3000 ° C, which is not suitable for obtaining crystals of sufficient size. For this reason, considering the economics of industrial production, the upper limit of the synthesis conditions for the single crystal may be about 60,000 atmospheres.
- a high-brightness light-emitting high-purity hBN crystal was synthesized in the hBN recrystallized region shown by hatching in FIG.
- boronitrides and the like of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals easily react with moisture and oxygen, and hBN recrystallized in a reaction system containing these oxides and the like as impurities has an effect of impurities such as oxygen and the like.
- the present invention uses conventional low-pressure phase boron nitride as a raw material, dissolves the raw material using a high-purity solvent, and recrystallizes the raw material. Emission in the short wavelength range of 235 nm or less, which could not be obtained with Thus, it is possible to provide a high-purity hBN single crystal that emits high-intensity ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 210 nm to 220 nm, particularly at a wavelength of 215 nm.
- the first group of the invention will be specifically described based on embodiments and drawings. However, these examples and the like are disclosed as aids for easy understanding of the invention, and the present invention is not limited to the examples and the like.
- a hexagonal boron nitride sintered body (particle size: about 0.5 ⁇ m) that has been deoxygenated by heat treatment at 1500 ° C in a vacuum and 2000 in a nitrogen stream is a high-pressure vessel with a barium boronitride solvent.
- Preparation of these solvents and filling of samples with capsules were all performed in a dry nitrogen atmosphere.
- the high-pressure reaction vessel was treated with a belt-type ultra-high pressure generator at 20,000 atmospheres, 1700 ° C, and pressure for 20 hours.
- the heating rate was about 50 ° CZ minutes. After cooling at 500 for about 7 minutes, the pressure was released and the sample was collected together with the molybdenum capsule in the pressure vessel.
- the molybdenum capsule was removed by mechanical or chemical treatment (mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid), and the sample was recovered. A colorless, transparent, hexagonal columnar crystal (approximately 1 to 3 mm) is obtained. In the crystal, optical microscopy, SEM observation, phase identification by X-ray diffraction, and evaluation of optical characteristics (transmittance, force luminescence) was done. From the X-ray diffraction pattern of the crystal grains, it was confirmed that the crystal was a single phase of hBN. As shown in Fig.
- a hexagonal boron nitride sintered body (particle size: about 0.5 xm) that has been deoxidized by heat treatment at 1500 ° C in a vacuum and 2000 in a nitrogen stream is a weight ratio of barium boronitride to lithium boronitride.
- Molybdenum capsules were filled together with the solvent mixed at 1: 1. High-pressure treatment was performed in the same manner as in Example 1, and a sample was collected. The recovered sample had the same form as in Example 1, and it was confirmed that the sample was an hBN crystal. Measurement at a wavelength of 215 nm Broad emission was observed around 300 nm together with high-intensity emission.
- a hexagonal boron nitride sintered body (particle size: about 0.5 m) that has been deoxygenated by heat treatment at 1500 ° C in a vacuum and 2000 ° C in a nitrogen stream is a barium boronitride / lithium boronitride weight ratio of 1 : Filled in a molybdenum capsule together with the solvent mixed in 1. Preparation of these solvents and filling of samples into capsules were all performed in a dry nitrogen atmosphere. The molybdenum reaction vessel was treated in a nitrogen stream at 1 atmosphere, 1500 ° C, and pressure for 2 hours. The heating rate was about 10 ° CZ minutes. After cooling at about 20 ° CZ, molybdenum force was recovered.
- the molybdenum capsule was removed by mechanical or chemical treatment (mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid), and the sample inside was recovered. A part of the solvent showed decomposition, but some recrystallization was observed at the interface with the hBN raw material.
- the solvent component is removed by acid treatment, and after washing, the obtained hBN crystal is subjected to optical microscopic observation, SEM observation, phase identification by X-ray diffraction, and optical property test (transmittance, force luminescence) An evaluation was performed. As a result, broad-spectrum emission near 300 nm was observed along with high-intensity emission at a wavelength of 215 nm by force luminescence measurement.
- Example 2 In the process described in Example 1, if the solvent used contained oxygen impurities due to partial oxidation, this solvent was reused in the hBN synthesis experiment again. A single crystal is synthesized. However, according to the force luminescence measurement, a broader wavelength around 300 nm than at a wavelength of 215 nm was observed. Strong light emission was observed. It is considered that the high-luminance short-wavelength light emission characteristics were impaired by the influence of impurities such as oxygen. In Comparative Example 2 above, in order to produce the present high-purity hBN single crystal and to exhibit good high-luminance emission characteristics, it is important that the solvent used be recrystallized using a high-purity solvent.
