- Various methods such as these can be adopted. Since the semiconductor layer 20Y is epitaxially grown on the silicon substrate, lattice defects can be reduced as compared with the case where the semiconductor layer 20Y is epitaxially grown on the sapphire substrate.
- the semiconductor layer 20Y a semiconductor layer with less dopant than the semiconductor base substrate 20X can be used.
- the semiconductor layer 20Y is formed so that the dopant concentration gradually decreases from the semiconductor base substrate 20X side to the upper surface side.
- the upper surface portion of the semiconductor layer 20Y is formed to have a relatively low dopant concentration (for example, less than 1 ⁇ 10 16 atoms / cm 3 ).
- non-doped silicon is silicon that is simply not doped with the intention of impurities, and is not limited to intrinsic silicon that does not contain impurities.
- the semiconductor layer 20Y of the present embodiment employs p-type silicon and is formed so that the dopant concentration of the upper surface portion is low.
- the dopant concentration of the semiconductor layer 20Y can be controlled by adjusting the amount of impurities supplied during the epitaxial growth. By making this impurity supply zero, non-doped silicon can be formed.

- the ratio of Ni to Fe is 0.3 or more. In this example, it was set to 0.4 or more.
- This metal supply step may be performed simultaneously with the activation step or subsequent to the activation step.
- Such a metal may be supplied by including a desired amount in the activated atmosphere in advance, or a metal supplier (such as a metal plate containing Fe and Ni) in the activated atmosphere. And a desired amount may be supplied by etching (sputtering).
- the metal supply body can be substituted by a vacuum chamber, a stage for holding the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor substrate 20Z, or the like.
- etching the same FAB gun as in the activation step may be used. This metal supply step may be performed simultaneously with the activation step or subsequent to the activation step.
- the abundance ratio of Ni to Fe can be controlled by adjusting the supply amount of each atom.

- the activation process and the metal supply process are performed simultaneously, and at least the semiconductor substrate 20Z and the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor substrate 20Z are in the chamber of the vacuum apparatus. It can also be realized by individually activating in a state where they do not face each other (non-opposing state).
- the non-opposing state means physically non-facing or non-facing temporally.
- Both main surfaces 10a and 20a of the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor substrate 20Z are at the same time an FAB gun. In the state of being irradiated and activated at the same time, it means a state where they are not opposed to each other.
- FIG. 4 shows a case where the support substrate 10 is also activated in a non-opposing state.
- the metal is supplied by sputtering one metal supplier that has a higher ratio of Fe than Ni, it is activated by individually irradiating the FAB gun in a non-opposing state.
- the inventors have confirmed through experiments that the Ni ratio can be dramatically increased.
- the ratio of Ni to Fe can also be controlled by the FAB gun irradiation method.
- the degree of activation differs between the semiconductor substrate 20Z and the support substrate 10 made of a material whose surface state is stable at room temperature. And it is thought that the supply amount of the metal in the activated state affects the metal amount and metal composition of the interface inclusions 30. For this reason, as described above, it is necessary to ensure a non-opposing state with respect to the semiconductor substrate 20Z having a higher degree of activation than the support substrate 10.
- one main surface 20 a of the semiconductor substrate 20 ⁇ / b> Z is irradiated with a FAB gun, and then, as shown in FIG.
- the two activations are temporally separated to realize the “non-opposing state”.
- the other may be physically isolated in a standby chamber in the vacuum apparatus, or may be isolated by sequentially entering the vacuum apparatus.
- the present invention is not limited to this example.
- the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor substrate 20 may be arranged to face each other with a shield interposed therebetween, and the FAB gun may be irradiated at the same time.
- the “non-opposing state” can be physically realized by the shield.
- a ceramic material having high stability with respect to the FAB gun can be employed.
- Room temperature means room temperature, but it means that heating is not actively performed, and a temperature increase associated with the activation / bonding process is allowed. Specifically, a temperature of 10 ° C. or higher and 150 ° C. or lower is also included.
- the semiconductor substrate 20Z is thinned from the other main surface 20b side (D2 direction side in the drawing) of the semiconductor substrate 20Z shown in FIG. 3C, and as shown in FIG.
- the semiconductor unit 20 is used.
- the thickness of the semiconductor base substrate 20X is reduced.
- various methods such as abrasive polishing, chemical etching, and ion beam etching can be employed, and a plurality of methods may be combined.
- the thinned semiconductor base substrate 20X is further etched with an etchant to reduce the thickness of the semiconductor layer 20Y together with the thinned semiconductor base substrate 20X.
- This etching can be performed by employing a selective etching solution in which the etching rate varies greatly depending on the difference in dopant concentration.
- the selective etching solution include a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, and acetic acid, and a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, and water.
- a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, and acetic acid is employed as an etching solution.
- etching proceeds when the dopant concentration is high, but when the dopant concentration is low, 7 ⁇ 10 17 atoms / cm 3 to 2 ⁇ 10 18 atoms / It is adjusted so that the etching rate is remarkably reduced with cm 3 as a boundary.
- Other methods for selective etching include an electric field etching method in about 5% hydrogen fluoride solution, a pulse electrode anodizing method in KOH solution, and the like.
- the semiconductor layer 20Y is etched halfway through the transition region where the dopant concentration is gradually changing.
- the semiconductor layer whose thickness is reduced by etching is referred to as a semiconductor portion 20. Examples of the thickness of the semiconductor unit 20 include a range of several hundred nanometers to about 2 microns.
- the composite substrate 1 shown in FIG. 1 can be manufactured through the above steps.
- the amount of metal atoms constituting the interface inclusions 30 may be 1 ⁇ 10 12 atoms / cm 2 or less.
- the amount of the interfacial inclusion 30 is adjusted as described above and the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor portion 20 are directly joined by activating them at room temperature, the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor portion 20 are joined together. Even if heated later, the metal does not segregate in the interface region. Although the mechanism is unknown, it is presumed that the amount of metal atoms constituting the interface inclusions 30 and the presence of unbonded dangling bonds remaining after bonding at the bonding interface are related.
- the FAB gun for joining the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor unit 20 is irradiated with the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor. It is realizable by performing separately with the part 20 in a non-opposing state.
- the FAB gun irradiated on one side simultaneously etched a member located around one side, and the etching was performed. There is a risk that suspended matter will adhere to the other.
- the FAB gun by irradiating the FAB gun in a non-facing state, it is possible to suppress the floating metal atoms etched with the activation of one surface from adhering to the other activated surface. . Thereby, the metal atom amount used as the interface inclusion 30 can be made low.
- the distance between the FAB gun and the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor unit 20 can be shortened, It is also effective to make the irradiation angle with respect to the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor part 20 close to 90 °.
- the amount of the interface inclusions 30 is 1 ⁇ 10 10 atoms / cm 2 or more, the interface inclusions 30 remain due to a mismatch between the lattice constant of the support substrate 10 and the lattice constant of the semiconductor portion 20 in the bonding step. It is possible to stabilize dangling bonds.
- the ratio of Ni to Fe may be increased when the amount of the interfacial inclusion 30 is small or the amount of Fe is small.
- the bonding can be maintained by reducing the amount of Fe and suppressing metal diffusion while increasing the proportion of Ni.
- the ratio of Ni to Fe is 5 or more
- the ratio of Ni to Fe is 0. It has been confirmed that by using 5 to 2 or more, metal diffusion can be suppressed while joining can be maintained.
- Ar may be included as the interface inclusions 30. In that case, Ar can getter Fe, and diffusion of Fe into the semiconductor portion 20 can be suppressed.
- the amount of Ar per unit area is larger than the amount of Fe and smaller than the amount of atoms constituting the semiconductor portion 20.
- the number of atoms per unit area of the elements constituting the semiconductor unit 20 is 1.35 ⁇ 10 15 atoms / cm 2 when calculated from the abundance constituting one atomic layer of Si. . If the semiconductor part 20 is a compound semiconductor, the value is the sum of the number of atoms per unit of each element constituting the compound.
- the upper limit of the amount of Ar is set to 1.35 ⁇ 10 15 atoms / cm 2 , it is preferably 1 ⁇ 10 14 atoms / cm 2 or less. In this case, it is possible to satisfactorily suppress the occurrence of lattice defects or the like in the semiconductor portion 20. More preferably, it is preferable to set it as 5 * 10 ⁇ 13 > atoms / cm ⁇ 2 > or less. This is because if the amount of surplus Ar is large relative to the amount of metal, there is a risk that Ar serves as a nucleus to form an amorphous part. With this configuration, Fe can be gettered and the crystallinity of the semiconductor portion 20 can be maintained.
- the main surface 10a of the support substrate 10 and the main surface 20a of the semiconductor substrate 20Z are irradiated with a FAB gun to activate both main surfaces 10a and 20a.
- the irradiation energy of the FAB gun is not particularly mentioned, but the irradiation energy may be varied.
- the inventors repeated experiments and found that the degree of activation required for bonding differs between the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor substrate 20Z. The reason is not clear, but the following mechanism can be considered. In the first place, if the semiconductor substrates 20Z are joined together, they can be joined easily. However, it has been difficult to join the semiconductor substrate 20Z and a dissimilar material such as sapphire. For this reason, bonding has been realized by including metal in the bonding interface. Inferring from these phenomena, it is considered that it is difficult to activate a material made of a material whose surface state is stable at room temperature. From this, when bonding the support substrate 10 to the semiconductor substrate 20Z, it is considered that the degree of activation of the bonding partner has a greater influence on the bonding than the degree of activation of itself.
- the support substrate 10 is an insulating substrate, and the surface state is stable at room temperature.
- the degree of activation of the semiconductor substrate 20Z which is a bonding partner is important. That is, it is preferable that the degree of activation of the semiconductor substrate 20Z is higher than the degree of activation of the support substrate 10. More specifically, the degree of activation of the semiconductor substrate 20Z needs to be equal to or higher than that used in a general room temperature bonding method, and on the contrary, the degree of activation of the support substrate 10 is a general room temperature bonding. Bonding is achieved even if the degree of activation used in the method is significantly lower. These are the results of repeatedly confirming the bonding test after the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor substrate 20Z are activated by changing the activation degree individually.
- the “activation degree” can be inferred from the output of the FAB gun, the distance between the FAB gun and the surface of the object to be irradiated, etc. at the time of cumulative irradiation.
- the activation process is performed by dividing it into a first activation process and a second activation process. That is, in the first activation process, at least the main surface 20a of the semiconductor substrate 20Z is activated. At this time, activation is performed by irradiating the FAB gun while maintaining a state not facing the main surface 10a of the support substrate 10.
- the second activation process is performed.
- the surface (main surface 10a) of the support substrate 10 is activated by irradiating the FAB gun under a condition that the integrated irradiation energy is smaller than that in the first activation step.
- the energy from the FAB gun that actually reaches the surface to be activated is different from the value of the irradiation conditions of the FAB gun.
- the energy that actually reaches the surface to be activated depends on the product of the acceleration voltage and irradiation time of the FAB gun.
- the integrated irradiation energy in the second activation step is the integrated irradiation energy (second value) necessary for removing carbon and hydrogen adsorbed on the surface (main surface 10a) of the support substrate 10.
- the value is between the integrated irradiation energy (first value), which is a general activation condition, and is closer to the second value. More specifically, it is set to a value equivalent to or slightly exceeding the second value.
- the acceleration voltage of the FAB gun for irradiation in the second activation process is set to about 1/3 to 2/3 and the irradiation time is set to about 1/10 to 1/3 as compared with the irradiation in the first activation process. It has been confirmed that high bonding strength is achieved.
- first activation step and the second activation step may be performed simultaneously, or the second activation step may be performed after the first activation step.
- the second activation process is performed following the first activation process.
- the suspended suspended matter generated in the first activation process reaches the surface (main surface 10a) of the support substrate 10. Even so, it is difficult to adsorb because it is not activated. Moreover, even if it adsorb
- the main surface 20a of the semiconductor substrate 20Z activated in the first activation step is exposed in an activated state in the vacuum chamber. For this reason, the floating substance in the vacuum chamber is easily attached (adsorbed) to the main surface 20a of the activated semiconductor substrate 20Z. Therefore, an additional irradiation step may be provided, and a step of irradiating the FAB gun again to remove deposits on the surface and then joining the two may be performed.
- the integrated irradiation energy of the FAB gun in the additional irradiation step may be substantially the same as the conditions in the second activation step. Such an additional irradiation step may be performed simultaneously with the second activation step.
- the second activation process and the additional irradiation process it is possible to suppress the abundance of foreign substances and interface inclusions.
- the main surface 20a of the semiconductor substrate 20Z is simultaneously irradiated with the FAB gun, so that the number of foreign matters having a size of 0.12 to 0.5 ⁇ m is mainly applied. It was confirmed that the number was 100 or less in the surface 20a.
- the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor substrate 20Z are activated and bonded with general irradiation energy in the room temperature bonding method, it is confirmed that 1000 or more foreign matters are attached.
- the bonding strength can be ensured by irradiating the main surface 20a of the semiconductor substrate 20Z with the FAB gun again in the additional irradiation step.
- the second activation step if only the support substrate 10 is irradiated with the FAB gun, the sputtered atoms float in the vacuum chamber and reattach to the surface of the activated semiconductor substrate 20Z. There was a risk of lowering. This becomes prominent when time elapses after the activation until the two are joined.
- the main irradiation of the semiconductor substrate 20Z is performed in the additional irradiation step. It is effective to irradiate the surface 20a with the FAB gun again.
- the second irradiation is performed with a smaller acceleration voltage or a shorter time than the first irradiation. This is because the constituent member containing metal is newly sputtered by the second irradiation, and the increase of metal atoms is suppressed.
- the second irradiation of the FAB gun has a small acceleration voltage, it is sufficient for reactivation of the surface once activated. That is, the dangling bonds are formed by cutting the atomic bonds of the semiconductor substrate 20Z by the first irradiation of the FAB gun, and the C, H, etc. adhering to the dangling bonds are only removed by the second irradiation. The degree of conversion can be increased.
- the FAB gun When the additional irradiation step is performed simultaneously with the second activation step, the FAB gun may be irradiated with the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor substrate 20Z facing each other. Even in this case, since the integrated irradiation energy estimated by the product of the acceleration voltage of the FAB gun and the irradiation time is smaller in the second irradiation than in the first irradiation, the metal present at the interface Bonding is possible with a small atomic weight. For example, compared to the first irradiation, the acceleration voltage of the FAB gun for the second irradiation is set to about 1/3 to 2/3 and the irradiation time is set to about 1/10 to 1/3, thereby reducing the amount of metal atoms. It was confirmed that a high bonding strength was achieved while maintaining the effect. Further, it has been confirmed that the ratio of metal can be maintained while the ratio of Ni is kept high.
- the irradiation of the FAB gun in the second activation process may be in a non-opposing state.
- the activation surfaces can be joined immediately after activation by setting the second irradiation time of the FAB gun to about 1/10 to 1/3 of the first irradiation time. Can do.
- the time from the activation of the main surface 10a of the support substrate 10 and the main surface 20a of the semiconductor substrate 20Z in the activation process to the bonding of the main surfaces 10a and 20a to each other in the bonding process is within 5 minutes. This is because the bonding strength decreases with time.
- the bonding strength was 300 kg / cm 2 .
- the bonding strength after leaving for 5 minutes after irradiation with the FAB gun was greatly reduced to 10 to 50 kg / cm 2 .
- the irradiation time and irradiation intensity of the FAB gun there are no particular restrictions on the irradiation time and irradiation intensity of the FAB gun, but the irradiation time may be shortened. This is because as the irradiation time becomes longer, the arithmetic average roughness of the irradiated surface becomes larger, and there is a possibility that bonding becomes difficult in the subsequent bonding step.
- the irradiation time of the FAB gun is preferably within 5 minutes. More preferably, it may be within 1 minute.
- the irradiation time of the FAB gun is shortened, the activation becomes insufficient, and there is a possibility that the bonding becomes difficult in the subsequent bonding process. Therefore, this is compensated by increasing the irradiation intensity of the FAB gun.
- the actual activation degree can be estimated from the amount of Ar present. It has been confirmed that even when the irradiation time is shortened, bonding can be reliably performed when the Ar amount is 5 ⁇ 10 12 atoms / cm 2 or more, more preferably 1.5 ⁇ 10 13 atoms / cm 2 or more.
- the amount of Ar is preferably set to 1 ⁇ 10 14 atoms / cm 2 or less.
- the irradiation intensity is set so that the Ar amount on the activated surface is 5 ⁇ 10 12 atoms / cm 2 or more and 1 ⁇ 10 14 atoms / cm 2 or less. You only have to set it.
- Such an Ar amount can be measured by TXRF (total reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis).
- the composite substrates of Examples 1 to 4 were manufactured based on the above-described composite substrate 1 and the steps of the first manufacturing method described above. In addition, composite substrates of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in which the amount of metal in the interface inclusions 30 was varied were also manufactured.
- a sapphire substrate was used as the support substrate 10, and single crystal silicon was used as the semiconductor portion 20.
- a room temperature bonding apparatus as a bonding apparatus, activation of the bonding surface was performed with an FAB gun. Note that the stage for fixing the vacuum chamber, the substrate and the like of the room temperature bonding apparatus is made of SUS and also serves as a metal supply body. Moreover, the activation process and the metal supply process were performed simultaneously.
- the conditions of the activation process and the metal supply process of the joint surface between the support substrate 10 and the semiconductor unit 20 (semiconductor substrate 20X) were as follows.
- Example 1 FAB gun irradiation condition: acceleration voltage 1.0 kV, current 100 mA, irradiation time 5 minutes
- Activation condition non-opposing state (when one is activated, the other is moved to another space, thereby making it non-temporally and physically The opposite state was realized.
- FAB gun irradiation conditions acceleration voltage 1.8 kV, current 100 mA, irradiation time 5 minutes
- Activation conditions non-opposing state
- Example 3 After activation under the same conditions as in Example 2, an additional FAB gun was irradiated under the following conditions.
- FAB gun irradiation conditions accelerating voltage 1.0 kV, current 100 mA, irradiation time 5 minutes
- Activation conditions opposite state (arranged facing each other and irradiated simultaneously. The same applies hereinafter)
- Example 4 After activation under the same conditions as in Example 2, an additional FAB gun was irradiated under the following conditions.
- FAB gun irradiation conditions acceleration voltage 1.0 kV, current 100 mA, irradiation time 1 minute Activation conditions: opposite state (Comparative Example 1)
- FAB gun irradiation conditions acceleration voltage 1.0 kV, current 100 mA, irradiation time 1 minute Activation conditions: opposite state (Comparative Example 2)
- FAB gun irradiation conditions acceleration voltage 1.8 kV, current 100 mA, irradiation time 5 minutes
- Activation conditions opposite state
- the metal atom density (unit: 10 12 atoms / cm 2 ) and the composition ratio (Cr: Fe: Ni) of Cr, Fe, and Ni constituting SUS as the metal supplier were as follows.
- the metal atom density is described in the order of Cr / Fe / Ni.
- Example 1 Metal atom density 1.8 / 4.4 / 31, composition ratio 0.41: 1: 7.05
- Example 2 Metal atom density 1.2 / 4.4 / 30, composition ratio 0.27: 1: 6.82
- Example 3 Metal atom density 6.5 / 27/43, composition ratio 0.24: 1: 1.59
- Example 4 Metal atom density 24/110/63, composition ratio 0.22: 1: 0.57
- Comparative Example 1 Metal atom density 44/190/34, composition ratio 0.23: 1: 0.18
- Comparative Example 2 Metal atom density 37/160/45, composition ratio 0.23: 1: 0.28
- the bonding strength of the composite substrates of Examples 3 and 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was measured.
- the bonding strength was measured by using a thin pin adhesion strength measuring device Romulus manufactured by QUAD GROUP and using a stud pin with a diameter of 2.7 mm and a load of 0.5 kg / s.
- the composite substrates of Examples 1 and 2 had lower bonding strength than the composite substrates of Examples 3 and 4. This is presumably due to the fact that the non-opposing state is realized by separating the activation conditions in terms of time. That is, it is considered that the activity of the previously activated surface was lowered during bonding. Therefore, in order to obtain the same bonding strength as in Examples 3 and 4 while maintaining the metal amount and metal ratio in Examples 1 and 2, the non-opposing state is separated physically only as an activation condition. It is effective to realize this. In other words, it is effective to create a physically non-opposing state and activate them simultaneously. “Physically non-opposing” may be arranged in parallel in a plan view, or a shielding plate or the like may be interposed in an opposed state.

Abstract
Description
本発明の複合基板に実施形態の一例について、図面を参照しつつ説明する。
本発明の複合基板の製造方法の実施形態の一例について、図面を参照しつつ、説明する。
まず、図2(a)に示したように、支持基板10を準備する。支持基板10は、絶縁性材料からなる単結晶体であれば特に限定されないが、例えばサファイア基板を例示できる。次に、図2(b)に示すように、単結晶の半導体ベース基板20Xを準備する。この例では、シリコン(Si)で形成された半導体ベース基板20Xを準備する。この半導体ベース基板20Xのドーパント濃度は、比較的高濃度となるようにする。例えば、p型のドーパントであるホウ素を1×1018atoms/cm3以上1×1021atoms/cm3以下の濃度で含むものが例示できる。
次に、図3(a)に示したように、支持基板10の主面10aおよび半導体基板20Zの主面20a(半導体層20Yの表面)に、それぞれFAB(Fast Atom Beam)ガンによりビームを照射して、両主面10a,20aを活性化する。FABガンとしては、例えば、Arの中性原子ビームを照射するものを用いる。このように両主面10a,20aを活性化することで、両主面10a,20aにはダングリングボンドが形成される。
次に、図3(b)に示すように、活性化した支持基板10の主面10aと半導体基板20Zの主面20aとのうち、少なくとも一方に界面介在物30を構成する金属を供給する。ここで金属とは、NiおよびFeを含み、支持基板10の主成分を構成する元素、半導体基板20Zの主成分を構成する元素を除くものとする。具体的には、この例ではAl、Siを除くものとなり、例えば、Fe,Niと、Cr,Ni,Cu等とを例示することができる。ここで、NiのFeに対する存在比率は0.3以上としている。この例では0.4以上とした。なお、この金属供給工程は、活性化工程と同時に、または活性化工程に続いて行えばよい。
次に、図3(c)に示すように、活性化し、かつ金属が供給された支持基板10の主面10aと半導体基板20Zの主面20aとを常温で接触させて両者を接合する。常温とは室温を意図するが、積極的に加熱を行なわないことを意味し、活性化・接合過程に伴う温度上昇は許容するものとする。具体的には10℃以上150℃以下の温度も含むものとする。
次に、図3(c)に示す半導体基板20Zの他方主面20b側(図のD2方向側)から半導体基板20Zを薄層化して、図3(d)に示すように、半導体基板20Zを半導体部20とする。
上述の複合基板1において、界面介在物30を構成する金属原子量を1×1012atoms/cm2以下としてもよい。界面介在物30の量を上述の通りに調整し、かつ、支持基板10と半導体部20とを常温で活性化することにより直接接合する場合には、たとえ支持基板10と半導体部20とを接合後に加熱したとしても、界面領域に金属が偏析することがない。メカニズムは不明であるが、界面介在物30を構成する金属原子量と、接合界面に接合後にも残存する未結合のダングリングボンドの存在が関係するものと推察される。
上述の複合基板1において、界面介在物30の存在量が少ないときやFe量が少ないとき程、NiのFeに対する比率を高めてもよい。この場合には、Feの量を削減して金属拡散を抑制する一方で、Niの割合を高めることで接合を維持できる。例えば、Feが1010atoms/cm2オーダーの場合には、NiのFeに対する比率を5以上とし、Feが1011atoms/cm2オーダーの前半の場合には、NiのFeに対する比率を0.5~2以上とすることにより、金属の拡散を抑制する一方で、接合を維持できることを確認している。
上述の複合基板1において、界面介在物30としてArを含有させてもよい。その場合には、ArがFeをゲッタリングすることができ、Feが半導体部20へ拡散することを抑制することができる。このようなArの単位面積当たりの存在量としては、Feの存在量よりも多く、半導体部20を構成する原子の存在量より少なくする。半導体部20を構成する元素の単位面積当たりの原子数は、本実施例の場合には、Siの1原子層を構成する存在量から求めると、1.35×1015atoms/cm2である。仮に半導体部20が化合物半導体の場合には、化合物を構成する元素のそれぞれの単位当たりの原子数を足し合わせた値となる。
上述の第1の製造方法の例では、支持基板10の主面10aと半導体基板20Zの主面20a(半導体層20Yの表面)とをFABガンを照射して、両主面10a,20aを活性化する場合について、FABガンの照射エネルギーについては特に言及していないが、照射するエネルギーを異ならせたりしてもよい。
上述の例では活性化工程において、支持基板10の主面10aと半導体基板20Zの主面20aとを活性化させてから、接合工程において、両主面10a,20aを互いに接合させるまでの時間について特に制限を設けなかったが、両主面10a,20aを活性化させてから接合するまでの間の時間は、5分以内とすることが好ましい。時間の経過とともに、接合強度が低下するからである。
FABガン照射条件:加速電圧 1.0kV,電流 100mA,照射時間 5分
活性化条件 :非対向状態(一方を活性化するときに他方を別空間に移動させることにより、時間的・物理的に非対向状態を実現した。以下同じ。)
(実施例2)
FABガン照射条件:加速電圧 1.8kV,電流 100mA,照射時間 5分

(実施例3)
実施例2と同条件で活性化したのちに、追加で以下の条件でFABガンを照射した。
FABガン照射条件:加速電圧 1.0kV,電流 100mA,照射時間 5分
活性化条件 :対向状態(互いに向かい合わせて配置し、同時に照射した。以下、同じ)
(実施例4)
実施例2と同条件で活性化したのちに、追加で以下の条件でFABガンを照射した。
FABガン照射条件:加速電圧 1.0kV,電流 100mA,照射時間 1分
活性化条件 :対向状態
(比較例1)
FABガン照射条件:加速電圧 1.0kV,電流 100mA,照射時間 1分
活性化条件 :対向状態
(比較例2)
FABガン照射条件:加速電圧 1.8kV,電流 100mA,照射時間 5分
活性化条件 :対向状態
このような条件で活性化工程および金属供給工程を行なった後に、TXRF(全反射蛍光X線分析法)にて接合前の支持基板10および半導体部20の接合面の金属量を測定した。なお、TXRFはテクノス社製のTREX630を用いた。
実施例2:金属原子密度 1.2/4.4/30,構成比 0.27:1:6.82
実施例3:金属原子密度 6.5/27/43, 構成比 0.24:1:1.59
実施例4:金属原子密度 24/110/63, 構成比 0.22:1:0.57
比較例1:金属原子密度 44/190/34, 構成比 0.23:1:0.18
比較例2:金属原子密度 37/160/45, 構成比 0.23:1:0.28
この結果、同じ金属供給体(SUS)を用いても、活性化の方法を変えることで、Niのみの比率を制御できることが分かった。なお、Crの比率は活性化の手法に依存しないことも確認できた。さらに、実施例1,2と実施例3,4とを比較すると、一回非対向状態で活性化することで、その後対向状態でFABガンを照射してもNi比率をSUSの組成に比べ高い状態を維持できることを確認した。なお、実施例3と実施例4とを比較すると、FABガンの照射時間を長くすることで、界面介在物30を構成する金属量が多くなることを確認した。
