Description

수소를 이용한 산화아연계 P 형 반도체 박막 및 그 제조방법Zinc Oxide P-type Semiconductor Thin Film Using Hydrogen and Its Manufacturing Method
본 발명은 수소를 이용한 산화아연계 p 형 반도체 박막 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는, 전이금속이 도핑된 산화아연(ZnO)을 주성분으로 하는 산화아연계 물질에 수소를 과 주입함으로써 반도체 특성을 p타입 특성으로 변화시키는 것으로 수소를 이용한 산화아연계 p 형 반도체 박막 및 그 제조방법을 기술적 요지로 한다.The present invention relates to a zinc oxide based p-type semiconductor thin film using hydrogen and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, by injecting hydrogen into a zinc oxide based material mainly composed of a transition metal doped zinc oxide (ZnO). The zinc oxide-based p-type semiconductor thin film using hydrogen and a method of manufacturing the same are described in detail by changing semiconductor characteristics into p-type characteristics.
청색광, 혹은 그보다 단파장의 빛을 낼 수 있는 반도체 물질의 연구는 디스플레이 소자로서 유용할 뿐 아니라 차세대 DVD의 핵심 기술이기도 하므로 그 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 또한 대표적인 물질로서 SiC와 GaN, ZnO 등이 알려져 있다.The study of semiconductor materials capable of emitting blue light or shorter wavelengths is increasing in importance because it is not only useful as a display device but also a core technology of the next generation DVD. SiC, GaN, ZnO and the like are also known as representative materials.
SiC는 화학적으로 안정한 결합을 가지고 있으나, 실용화하기에는 수명과 휘도가 낮다는 문제가 있어서 현재는 GaN에 의한 청색광 연구만 활발한 실정이다.SiC has a chemically stable bond, but there is a problem in that it has a low lifespan and low luminance to be practically used, and at present, only research on blue light by GaN is active.
그러나 GaN 물질을 재료로 사용하기 위해서는 가격적 측면에서 많이 비싸다는 단점이 있다. 이를 대체하기 위해서 가장 주목받고 있는 물질이 ZnO(산화아연)이다. However, there is a disadvantage in that it is very expensive in terms of price to use GaN material as a material. In order to replace this, ZnO (zinc oxide) is the most attracting material.
ZnO 물질은 넓은 밴드갭과 상온에서 60meV의 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지를 가지고 있어서 높은 내부 양자 효율을 기대할 수 있는 물질이며, 또한, ZnO 기판을 이용하면 기판과 박막 사이의 격자 부정합에 의한 결함들을 최소화할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 고품위 박막 성장 및 고효율 발광 다이오드 제작이 가능하다. ZnO material has a large band gap and a large exciton coupling energy of 60 meV at room temperature, and thus can expect high internal quantum efficiency. Also, ZnO substrate can minimize defects due to lattice mismatch between the substrate and the thin film. Through this, high quality thin film growth and high efficiency light emitting diode can be manufactured.
그러나 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 ZnO 박막은 자유전자를 제공하는 결함으로 인해 p-type 박막 구현에 어려움이 있다. However, despite these advantages, ZnO thin films have difficulty in implementing p-type thin films due to defects providing free electrons.
p-type ZnO가 제작 되었다는 보고 역시 몇몇 그룹에 국한되어 있다. Reports of p-type ZnO production have also been limited to a few groups.
국내, 일본과 미국의 몇몇 그룹에서 N, As, P 등을 첨가하여 p-type ZnO박막을 제작하고 있으나 재현성에 많은 문제가 되고 있다. Several groups in Korea, Japan, and the United States are producing p-type ZnO thin films by adding N, As, P, etc., but there are many problems in reproducibility.
또한, 현재 ZnO 물질에 수소를 주입하는 경우는 전기전도도, 투과도, 자기적 특성 등을 향상시키기 위한 목적으로 국한되어 있으며, 수소 주입을 통하여 산화아연계 물질로 p형 반도체를 제작하였다는 보고는 전무한 실정하다.In addition, hydrogen injection into ZnO materials is currently limited to the purpose of improving the electrical conductivity, permeability, magnetic properties, etc., and there have been no reports of the production of p-type semiconductors from zinc oxide-based materials through hydrogen injection.

이하 본 발명의 실시예를 구체적으로 설명한다.Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
< 제1실시예 >First Embodiment
먼저 박막증착단계를 설명한다. First, the thin film deposition step will be described.
상기 박막증착단계는 기판 상면에 산화아연계 박막을 증착시키는 단계로, 상기 기판은 실리콘, 사파이어, 유리 기판 등 다양한 기판이 가능하나 본 발명의 제1실시예에서는 n-type 반도체인 실리콘(Si) 기판을 사용한다. The thin film deposition step is a step of depositing a zinc oxide thin film on the upper surface of the substrate, the substrate can be a variety of substrates such as silicon, sapphire, glass substrate, but in the first embodiment of the present invention silicon (Si) Use a substrate.
상기 실리콘 기판 상면에 산화 아연계 박막을 형성시키는 과정은 진공챔버 내에서 진행된다. The process of forming the zinc oxide-based thin film on the upper surface of the silicon substrate is performed in a vacuum chamber.
상기 진공챔버 내부를 진공으로 만들기 위해서, 고진공 펌프로 터보분자 펌프를 사용하고, 저 진공 펌프로는 회전펌프를 사용하여 진공시스템을 구성한다. In order to vacuum the inside of the vacuum chamber, a turbomolecular pump is used as a high vacuum pump, and a rotary pump is used as a low vacuum pump to construct a vacuum system.
전형적인 진공 배기 방법으로 먼저 회전펌프로 어느 정도 진공(약 10-3 Torr)을 배기한 후, 고진공 펌프인 터보분자 펌프에 의해서 원하는 진공도(약 10-6 Torr)를 얻게 된다. 스퍼터 기체의 압력은 최대유량 100sccm의 유량흐름 조절기(mass flow controller; MFC)로 조절하였고, 진공도와 펌프 배관의 진공도는 이온 개이지(ion gauge)와 컨벡션 게이지(convectron gauge)로 측정하였다. In a typical vacuum evacuation method, a certain amount of vacuum (about 10 -3 Torr) is first evacuated by a rotary pump, and a desired vacuum degree (about 10 -6 Torr) is obtained by a high molecular pump turbomolecular pump. The pressure of the sputter gas was controlled by a mass flow controller (MFC) with a maximum flow rate of 100 sccm, and the vacuum degree and the vacuum degree of the pump pipe were measured by an ion gauge and a convectron gauge.
플라즈마 방전을 위해 주파수 13.56 MHz와 최대출력 300W인 고주파 발생장치와 정합기를 이용한다. 플라즈마 손상을 줄이기 위해서 기판 앞에 메쉬를 부착할 수도 있다. A high frequency generator and matching device with a frequency of 13.56 MHz and a maximum output of 300 W is used for plasma discharge. Meshes may be attached in front of the substrate to reduce plasma damage.
타겟(target)은 전이금속( Al, Cu, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni)이 첨가된 ZnO 세라믹으로 2인치(inch) 원판형을 사용한다. The target is a ZnO ceramic to which transition metals (Al, Cu, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) are added, and a 2-inch disc shape is used.
본 발명에서는 코발트(Co)가 첨가된 ZnO 타겟(target)인 Zn1-XCoXO(0.07≤x≤0.2, 이하 'ZCO'라 함)타겟을 사용하며, 특히 Co가 10 mol% 첨가된 산화아연계 타겟(target)을 사용한다. In the present invention, a Zn 1-X Co X O (0.07≤x≤0.2, hereinafter referred to as 'ZCO') target, which is a ZnO target added with cobalt (Co), is used, in particular, 10 mol% of Co is added. Zinc oxide based targets are used.
진공챔버는 초기진공을 10-6 Torr까지 충분히 배기한 후, 아르곤(Ar)을 MFC로 주입하여 증착압력(약 1x10-2Torr)으로 만든다. 여기서 아르곤(Ar)은 스퍼터링(sputtering)을 일으키기 위한 가스로 사용된다. The vacuum chamber sufficiently exhausts the initial vacuum to 10 -6 Torr, and then injects argon (Ar) into the MFC to make the deposition pressure (about 1x10 -2 Torr). Here, argon (Ar) is used as a gas for causing sputtering.
스퍼터링(sputtering)은 고주파 전원 40W, 기판의 온도는 350℃에서 증착한다. 기판과 타겟(target) 사이 거리는 약 8㎝이고, 30rpm 속도로 기판을 회전시켰다. Sputtering is a high frequency power supply 40W, the temperature of the substrate is deposited at 350 ℃. The distance between the substrate and the target was about 8 cm and the substrate was rotated at a speed of 30 rpm.
그리고 매 실험시마다 타겟(target) 표면의 오염부를 제거하기 위해 5분 동안 프리 스퍼터링(pre-sputtering)을 실시한 후, n-type 반도체인 실리콘(Si) 기판 위에 산화아연계 박막인 ZCO 박막의 두께가 1000Å 내지 3000Å이 되도록 증착한다. 본 발명의 실시예에서는 약 1000Å이 되도록 산화 아연계 박막을 증착하였다. In each experiment, pre-sputtering was performed for 5 minutes to remove contaminants on the target surface, and then the thickness of the ZCO thin film, which is a zinc oxide thin film, was formed on the silicon (Si) substrate, which is an n-type semiconductor. It is deposited so that it is 1000 mV to 3000 mV. In the embodiment of the present invention, a zinc oxide-based thin film was deposited to be about 1000 kPa.
본 발명에서 상기 전이금속의 첨가량이 0.07≤x≤0.2이 되는 이유는 상기 전이금속 첨가량이 0.07보다 작게 되면 전이금속 첨가의 효과가 거의 나타나지 않은바, 이는 본 발명의 수소를 주입하더라도 본 발명의 산화아연계 박막이 p-type 반도체 특성을 나타내지 않았으며, 전이금속 첨가량이 0.2보다 크게 되면 코발트 등의 전이금속이 메탈 클러스트를 형성하여 반도체 특성을 저하시키는 결과를 초래하였다. The reason why the amount of the transition metal added in the present invention is 0.07 ≦ x ≦ 0.2 is that when the amount of the transition metal added is less than 0.07, the effect of the transition metal addition is hardly observed. The zinc-based thin film did not exhibit p-type semiconductor characteristics, and when the amount of transition metal added was greater than 0.2, transition metals such as cobalt formed metal clusters, resulting in deterioration of semiconductor characteristics.
다음은 금속층 형성단계가 진행되는바, 상기 ZCO 박막의 상면에 금속 박막을 형성한 후 수소 주입처리를 하게 된다. Next, the metal layer forming step is performed, and the hydrogen injection process is performed after the metal thin film is formed on the upper surface of the ZCO thin film.
상기 금속 박막은 백금, 팔라듐, 은, 구리 등의 금속 촉매를 사용하여 형성시키며 상기 금속 촉매가 하이드로젠 스필오버(hydrogen spillover) 특성을 가지고 있어, ZCO 박막 내부로 수소의 주입량을 향상시키고 효율적인 수소의 저장과 방출이 가능하도록 돕는다. 본 발명에서는 금속 촉매로써 백금을 사용하였다.The metal thin film is formed using a metal catalyst such as platinum, palladium, silver, copper, etc., and the metal catalyst has a hydrogen spillover characteristic, thereby improving the injection amount of hydrogen into the ZCO thin film and Help to store and release. In the present invention, platinum was used as the metal catalyst.
금속 박막인 백금 박막은 ZCO 박막 위에 화학증착법(chemical vapor deposition), 스퍼터링(Sputtering) 또는 스핀코팅 중 하나를 이용하여 백금(Pt) 박막을 증착시키되, 상기 백금 박막은 두께가 1㎚ ~ 20nm 되도록 증착하여 Pt/ZCO 구조를 형성시켰다. The platinum thin film, which is a metal thin film, is deposited on a ZCO thin film by using one of chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, or spin coating, wherein the platinum thin film is deposited to have a thickness of 1 nm to 20 nm. To form a Pt / ZCO structure.
여기서 상기 백금 박막의 두께가 20nm보다 크게 되면 백금층의 두께에 의해 ZCO 박막 내부로 유입되는 수소의 저장효율이 감소하게 된다. If the thickness of the platinum thin film is greater than 20 nm, the storage efficiency of hydrogen introduced into the ZCO thin film is reduced by the thickness of the platinum layer.
상기의 과정을 거치게 되면 Pt/ZCO/Si 구조를 가지는 물질이 형성되고, 상기 Pt/ZCO/Si 구조를 가지는 물질에 수소를 주입시키는 수소 주입단계가 진행된다. Through the above process, a material having a Pt / ZCO / Si structure is formed, and a hydrogen injection step of injecting hydrogen into the material having the Pt / ZCO / Si structure is performed.
수소주입단계는 가스 전기로를 이용하여 350℃이하의 온도에서 진행되는바, 본 발명의 실시예에서는 300℃의 온도에서 진행된다. 여기서 온도가 높으면 수소주입시간이 단축되고, 온도가 낮으면 주입 시간을 늘리면 되는바, 유리의 연하점 이하인 약 350℃이하에서 진행되기만 하면 된다. The hydrogen injection step is carried out at a temperature of less than 350 ℃ using a gas electric furnace, in the embodiment of the present invention proceeds at a temperature of 300 ℃. Here, if the temperature is high, the hydrogen injection time is shortened, and if the temperature is low, the injection time may be increased.
상기의 가스 전기로를 이용하여 300℃의 온도에서 아르곤가스:수소가스의 함량비가(90wt%:10wt%) 함유된 가스를 흘려서 수소를 상기 ZCO 박막 내부로 주입한다. 또는 고압고온장비를 사용하여 300℃의 온도, 고압(10~1000bar) 하에서 Ar:H 의 함량비가(90wt%:10wt%) 함유된 가스를 주입하여 수소를 주입하여도 무방하다. Hydrogen is injected into the ZCO thin film by flowing a gas containing an argon gas: hydrogen gas content ratio (90 wt%: 10 wt%) at a temperature of 300 ° C. using the gas electric furnace. Alternatively, hydrogen may be injected by injecting a gas containing an Ar: H content ratio (90wt%: 10wt%) at a temperature of 300 ° C. and a high pressure (10 to 1000 bar) using a high pressure and high temperature equipment.
상기의 과정을 거치면 본 발명에 따른 산화아연계 p 형 반도체 박막이 제조된다. Through the above process, a zinc oxide p-type semiconductor thin film according to the present invention is prepared.
이를 확인하기 위해 상기 박막을 이용하여 홀 측정 및 Pt/ZnCoO/Si 구조 다이오드의 전류-전압 특성을 측정하였다. To confirm this, the thin film was used to measure the hole and the current-voltage characteristics of the Pt / ZnCoO / Si structure diode.
도1에서 본 발명에 따른 박막의 케리어 덴서티(carrier density)가 양의 값을 가지는바, 이는 Pt/ZnCoO 박막이 p-type 산화물 구조체임을 의미한다. In Figure 1, the carrier density of the thin film according to the present invention has a positive value, which means that the Pt / ZnCoO thin film is a p-type oxide structure.
그리고, 도2에서 Pt/ZnCoO/Si 구조 다이오드의 전류-전압 특성이 p-n 접합(junction)특성을 나타내는바, 이는 Pt/ZnCoO 박막이 p-type 산화물 구조체임을 의미한다.In addition, the current-voltage characteristic of the Pt / ZnCoO / Si structure diode in FIG. 2 shows a p-n junction characteristic, which means that the Pt / ZnCoO thin film is a p-type oxide structure.
이상에서와 같이, 본 발명은 산화아연계 물질에 수소를 주입함으로써 350℃ 이하의 비교적 낮은 온도에서의 수소 분위기 열처리만을 통해서 p형 반도체를 제작할 수 있다.As described above, the present invention can produce a p-type semiconductor through only hydrogen atmosphere heat treatment at a relatively low temperature of 350 ° C. or less by injecting hydrogen into the zinc oxide-based material.
