Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device having an n-type gallium nitride compound semiconductor and an electrode that is in ohmic contact with the semiconductor, and a method for manufacturing the same.
- Gallium nitride compound semiconductor (hereinafter also referred to as "G a N-based semiconductor”.) Has the formula A 1 a I n b G a Bok ab N (0 ⁇ a ⁇ 1, 0 ⁇ b ⁇ 1, 0 ⁇ a + b ⁇ 1) is a compound semiconductor made of Group III nitride, for example, GaN, InGaN, A1GaN, A1InGaN, A1N, In Examples of arbitrary compositions such as N are shown.
- part of Group 3 element is replaced with B (boron), T 1 (thallium), etc.
- part of N nitrogen
- P phosphorus
- a s arsenic
- S b antimony
- B i bismuth
- GaN-based semiconductor light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) that generate light in the wavelength range from green to ultraviolet have been put into practical use and attracting attention.
- This light-emitting element has a p ⁇ junction diode structure in which an n-type GaN-based semiconductor and a p-type GaN-based semiconductor are bonded as a basic structure.
- the light emission mechanism of this light-emitting element is simply described as follows: an electron injected into a ⁇ -type G a ⁇ -based semiconductor and a hole injected into a p-type G a N-based semiconductor are at or near the pn junction.
- n-type ohmic electrode In order to efficiently inject electrons into the n-type G a N-based semiconductor, an electrode that is in ohmic contact with the n-type G a N-based semiconductor (hereinafter also referred to as “n-type ohmic electrode”). It is used. In an LED, an n-type ohmic electrode is also commonly used as a contact electrode.
- the contact electrode is an electrode to which a bonding wire, solder or the like used for electrical connection between the element and an electrode outside the element is joined.
- Contact electrodes include bonding wires (eg, Au wires) or solder Good bonding properties with (for example, A u—S n eutectic) are required. This is because if this connectivity is poor, defects are likely to occur in the process of mounting the element.
- n-type ohmic electrode a single-layer film of A 1 (aluminum) or T i
- a multilayer film in which an A 1 layer was laminated on a (titanium) layer was used (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-458686, USP 5,563,422).
- these electrodes are mainly composed of the A 1 layer, they have low heat resistance and, for example, have a problem that they are easily deformed when heat-treated. This is because A 1 has a low melting point, and a thermal expansion coefficient of 8 1. 3] ⁇ Because it is extremely large compared to semiconductors, it tends to generate thermal stress inside the electrode.
- this electrode is also in contact with the n-type GaN semiconductor in the A 1 layer, it is necessary to reduce the contact resistance by performing a heat treatment at a temperature of about 400 ° C. There is a problem that the surface becomes rough and the bonding property between the bonding wire or solder and the electrode is deteriorated.
- This electrode has the same characteristics as the contact resistance with the n-type GaN-based semiconductor after heat treatment is affected by the diffusion state of A 1 and Au caused by thermal stress. There is a problem that it is difficult to manufacture well.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-8 4 10 describes that a Ti W alloy layer, a Ge (germanium) layer, and an R h (rhodium) layer are stacked, A processed n-type ohmic electrode is disclosed.
- the principle by which this electrode forms good ohmic contact with the n-type G a N semiconductor is unknown, but it is probably because good ohmic contact is formed regardless of the stacking order of the three metal layers. It is presumed that the product of the chemical reaction involving all three metal layers plays a role. Therefore, in the formation of this electrode, three layers are laminated. Therefore, it is presumed that the characteristics of the obtained electrode will not be stable unless the conditions for the heat treatment and the conditions for the subsequent heat treatment are controlled strictly. Therefore, it is considered that a semiconductor device employing this electrode is not suitable for mass production.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device having a novel n-type ohmic electrode that forms a good ohmic contact with an n-type GaN-based semiconductor. Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor element having an n-type ohmic electrode that can be suitably used as a contact electrode. Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor element having an n-type ohmic electrode excellent in heat resistance. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing the semiconductor element.
- a semiconductor element comprising: an n-type gallium nitride compound semiconductor; and an electrode that is in ohmic contact with the semiconductor; and the TiW alloy layer that is in contact with the semiconductor.
- a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising a step of forming a Ti W alloy layer as a part of an electrode on a surface of an n-type gallium nitride compound semiconductor.
- the TiW alloy is an alloy substantially composed of Ti and W (tungsten). According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a semiconductor element having an n-type ohmic electrode that forms a good ohmic contact with an n-type GaN-based semiconductor. Ma In addition, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a semiconductor element having an n-type ohmic electrode that can also be suitably used as a contact electrode. Further, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor element having an n-type ohmic electrode with excellent heat resistance can be obtained.

- the meanings of the symbols in Fig. 1 are as follows.
- the present invention can be applied to any element including an n-type GaN-based semiconductor and an electrode in ohmic contact with the semiconductor, that is, an n-type ohmic electrode.
- the semiconductor element of the present invention may include a portion made of a semiconductor other than a GaN-based semiconductor.
- the semiconductor element of the present invention is typically a light emitting element, and may be, for example, a light receiving element or an electronic element such as a transistor.
- the composition of the n-type GaN-based semiconductor on which the n-type ohmic electrode is formed is arbitrary.

- the electrode A having the TiW alloy layer in contact with the Si-doped GaN layer has good heat resistance, whereas the electrode A has the TiW alloy layer, but the TiW alloy layer has It can be seen that the electrode B which is not in contact with the Si-doped G a N layer has low heat resistance.
- Electrode B also includes an A1 layer with a low melting point and a very large difference in thermal expansion from G a N. This is one of the reasons why electrode B has low heat resistance. it is conceivable that.
- a sample for evaluation was produced as follows. First, in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1, a GaN-based semiconductor layer having a light-emitting diode structure is grown by sequentially growing a GaN-based semiconductor layer from the first buffer layer to the p-type contact layer on the sapphire substrate. A wafer on which a laminate was formed was fabricated. Next, the formation of the p-side ohmic electrode was omitted, and the formation of the n-side electrode was performed.

- RF sputtering was used to form each metal layer included in the n-side electrode of each sample.
- the deposition conditions for the Ti W alloy layers contained in Sample A and Sample D were the same as the deposition conditions for the Ti W alloy layers used in Experimental Example 1.
- the T i W alloy layer of sample A was formed using a T i—W target containing 10 wt% of Ti as in Experiment 1, whereas the T i W alloy layer of sample D was A Ti-w target containing 90 t% of Ding 1 was formed.
- the Ti concentration in the Ti W alloy layer of Sample D is considered to be about 7 Ow t ° / 0 or less.
- n-side electrode pattern The ning was performed in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1 for all samples. The wafer that had been subjected to the formation of the n-side electrode in this way was used as a sample for evaluation.
- the contact resistance of the n-side electrode of each sample is the voltage required to pass a current of 2 O mA between the n-side electrodes of two adjacent elements on the wafer (hereinafter also referred to as “n ⁇ n voltage”). It was evaluated by. Since the voltage drop when the current flows inside the n-type contact layer is negligibly small, the n ⁇ n voltage reflects the contact resistance between the n-side electrode and the n-type contact layer. In other words, the higher the n ⁇ n voltage, the higher the contact resistance between the n-side electrode and the n-type contact layer. When the n-n voltage of each sample when the n-side electrode was still formed by sputtering was measured using a photo probe, the results were as follows.
- the n_n voltage of 0.3 V of sample A and sample D can be said to be approximately the same as 0.2 V which is the n ⁇ n voltage of the sample of Example 1 measured separately, and is sufficiently low in practical use. It can be called a value. From this, it can be seen that the electrode in contact with the n-type GaN-based semiconductor with the Ti W alloy layer can be used as an ohmic electrode having a low contact resistance as it is formed. Also, when the surface of the electrode of sample A and sample D was observed with a differential interference microscope, it was extremely smooth.
- the electrode of sample A is in contact with the n-type contact layer with a Ti W alloy layer containing Ti at a relatively low concentration (as mentioned above, it is considered to be 8% or less). It is noteworthy that the n ⁇ n voltage of the sample was less than half of the n ⁇ n voltage of sample B in which the W layer was provided with an electrode in contact with the n-type contact layer. This indicates that the properties of the Ti W alloy layer at the electrode of Sample A are not simply an average of the properties of Ti and the properties of W. On the other hand, sample A and support Since the n ⁇ n voltage of the sample D is equivalent, the contact resistance of the electrode that contacts the n-type GaN-based semiconductor in the TiW alloy layer is the same as that of the TiW alloy layer without heat treatment. It can be seen that it hardly depends on the T i concentration. This indicates that this electrode has stable characteristics and is easy to manufacture.
- each sample was heat-treated at 500 ° C. for 1 minute in a nitrogen gas atmosphere.
- the n-n voltage of each sample after this heat treatment was as follows.
- the surface of the electrode was not roughened by the heat treatment, and the n ⁇ n voltage was not substantially changed by the heat treatment. Therefore, sputtering using a Ti—W target containing 10 wt% of Ti was performed. It can be seen that the electrode in contact with the n-type GaN-based semiconductor in the TiW alloy layer formed by the method has extremely excellent heat resistance.
- this electrode may be used after being formed by sputtering and then subjected to heat treatment under the conditions used in Experimental Example 3 in advance. When the heat treatment is performed, the structure of the electrode is stabilized, so that the characteristics of the electrode can be prevented from changing greatly when the element is exposed to high temperatures during use.
- the electrode of sample D is a Ti W alloy layer formed using a target with a Ti content of 90 wt% and is in contact with the n-type contact layer. As it rose, the surface condition also worsened. This tendency was common to the electrode of sample C that was in contact with the n-type contact layer in the Ti layer. from this result,
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
- the p-side bonding electrode P 22 can be configured in the same manner as the n-side electrode P 1, and in this case, these are formed in the same process. Therefore, the manufacturing process can be simplified.
- This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-1 1 26 1 0 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-3 1 74 1 filed in Japan, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
