イオン注入工程は、圧電単結晶基板にイオンを注入することで、圧電単結晶基板の中で注入された元素の濃度がピークになるイオン注入層を形成する。接合工程は、圧電単結晶基板のイオン注入層側の面と支持体であるSOI基板の半導体薄膜層側の面とを接合する。剥離工程は、圧電単結晶基板を加熱してイオン注入層を剥離面とした剥離を行い、圧電単結晶薄膜をSOI基板の半導体薄膜層側の面に形成する。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric device including a support and a piezoelectric single crystal thin film bonded to the surface of the support. This method for manufacturing a piezoelectric device includes at least an ion implantation process, a bonding process, and a peeling process.
In the ion implantation process, ions are implanted into the piezoelectric single crystal substrate to form an ion implantation layer in which the concentration of the element implanted in the piezoelectric single crystal substrate reaches a peak. In the bonding step, the surface on the ion implantation layer side of the piezoelectric single crystal substrate and the surface on the semiconductor thin film layer side of the SOI substrate as a support are bonded. In the peeling step, the piezoelectric single crystal substrate is heated to perform peeling using the ion implantation layer as a peeling surface, and a piezoelectric single crystal thin film is formed on the surface of the SOI substrate on the semiconductor thin film layer side.
また、上記剥離工程において、圧電単結晶薄膜を剥離した圧電単結晶基板はイオン注入工程で再利用することができる。即ち、1枚の圧電単結晶基板から複数の圧電単結晶薄膜を形成することができるため、単結晶の圧電材料を節約することができる。 In the ion implantation step of this manufacturing method, the ion implantation depth is determined by the ion implantation energy, and the ion implantation layer can be formed at a desired depth by changing the ion implantation energy. Then, in the peeling step, the piezoelectric single crystal thin film is formed on the SOI substrate by performing peeling using the ion implantation layer as a peeling surface. That is, since the thickness of the piezoelectric single crystal thin film is determined by the ion implantation energy, the thickness of the piezoelectric single crystal thin film can be freely adjusted. Therefore, according to this manufacturing method, an extremely thin piezoelectric single crystal thin film having a desired thickness can be formed on the SOI substrate by an ion implantation process, a bonding process, and a peeling process. Here, the SOI substrate is a substrate in which an oxide film and a semiconductor thin film layer are stacked in this order on a silicon substrate having a predetermined thickness. An ultrathin thin film refers to a thin film having a thickness of 10 μm or less.
In the peeling step, the piezoelectric single crystal substrate from which the piezoelectric single crystal thin film has been peeled can be reused in the ion implantation step. That is, since a plurality of piezoelectric single crystal thin films can be formed from one piezoelectric single crystal substrate, single crystal piezoelectric material can be saved.
また、SOI基板上に形成される圧電単結晶薄膜の厚みが極めて薄いため、圧電単結晶薄膜は、圧電単結晶薄膜とSOI基板との線膨張係数の差による応力の影響を受けやすい。そこで、この製造方法では、誘電体膜を圧電単結晶基板のイオン注入層側の面に形成し、当該線膨張係数の差を緩衝する誘電体膜を圧電単結晶薄膜とSOI基板との間に形成しても構わない。 In this manufacturing method, when the peeling step is finished, a piezoelectric device having a structure in which an electrode film is formed on the surface of the piezoelectric single crystal thin film on the semiconductor thin film layer side can be formed.
In addition, since the thickness of the piezoelectric single crystal thin film formed on the SOI substrate is extremely thin, the piezoelectric single crystal thin film is easily affected by stress due to the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the piezoelectric single crystal thin film and the SOI substrate. Therefore, in this manufacturing method, a dielectric film is formed on the surface of the piezoelectric single crystal substrate on the side of the ion implantation layer, and a dielectric film that buffers the difference in linear expansion coefficient is provided between the piezoelectric single crystal thin film and the SOI substrate. It may be formed.

By forming a piezoelectric single crystal thin film made of lithium niobate on the surface of the SOI substrate on the semiconductor thin film layer side, a highly sensitive piezoelectric sensor with high conversion efficiency between electric energy and mechanical energy can be obtained.
On the other hand, lithium tantalate is a material that is easily available and has moderate piezoelectricity.
