- the annealing of the nitride-based semiconductor fil on the dopant-containing substrate results in higher concentration of the dopant atom in the film than can s often be achieved by doping during growth or via ion-implantation, which damages the crystal.
- nitride-based semiconductor films can be treated and exhibit enhanced dopant concentration and electrical conductivity.
- a wider variety of electronic and/or light-emitting structures is made possible, since growth or processing steps which would normally result m low dopant concentration and/or implantation damage can be avoided. This can result in improved device performance for nitride-based semiconductor films treated using the above described method.
- FIG. 1 is a flowchart of process steps used in one embodiment of the present invention for treating one or more nitride-based semiconductor layers or films grown upon a dopant-containing substrate.
- Block 100 represents the step of growing one or more nitride-based semiconductor layers or films on a substrate using any growth technique.

- the nitride-based semiconductor film is an AIN film grown on a SiC substrate by MOCVD. As grown, the film is highly resistive due to the low Si concentration in the MOCVD grown material.
- Block 101 represents the step of thermal annealing of the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films and the substrate. Specifically, this step involves heating a sample comprised of the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films and the substrate with a duration and temperature sufficient to allow the dopants to diffuse from the substrate into the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films.
- the heating occurs at a temperature of about 1000°C to about 2500°C, and at a pressure less than about 100 atmospheres.
- the heating occurs in an inert environment, or in the presence of nitrogen (N 2 ), or in the presence of argon (Ar), or in the presence of ammonia (Nth), or in the presence of hydrogen (3 ⁇ 4), or in the presence of oxygen (Oz), or in the presence of a forming gas, or in the presence of another process gas.
- annealing an A1N film up to 1000 nm thick for 60 minutes at about 1700°C is sufficient to increase the Si concentration in the film by two orders of magnitude, and to make the film electrically conductive.

- the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films could be used as a conductive growth template for the growth of subsequent semiconducting layers, or could be characterized, or could be packaged into an electronic or opto-electronic device.
- FIG. 2 is a graph of Si (cm-3) vs. etch depth (a.u.) that plots secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) data showing the Si concentration for three samples comprised of AIN films grown on SiC substrates; (1) where the films are as-grown (with an Si concentration of 4el 7 cm 3 ), (2) following an anneal at 1700°C for 30 minutes, and (3) following an anneal at l700°C for 60 minutes (with an Si concentration of 2el9 cm 3 or greater).
- SIMS secondary ion mass spectroscopy
- the main concern is the highly uniform Si concentration in the sample annealed at 1700°C for 60 minutes, with doping levels high enough for many (opto-)e!ectronic applications.
- the Si concentrations have been calibrated using ion- implanted AlGaN:Si reference samples.
- the SIMS etch depth profile is not quantitative, but the sharp spike in Si concentration marks the SiC substrate.
- the sample thickness into which the Si has diffused to nearly uniform levels is known from other measurements (refiectometry, spectroscopic e!lipsometry, electron microscopy) to be about 800 nm. Thinner samples and longer anneal durations may allo higher Si concentrations
- the Si has only partially diffused into the sample. This is evidenced by the relatively steep slope in the etch depth profile as compared to that of the 60 minute annealed sample. The sense of the slope also confirms that the SiC substrate is acting as a diffusion source of Si atoms.
- AIN samples annealed for 6, 12, 30, and 60 minutes showed enhanced electrical conductivity as measured using In-solder contacts. While a full Hall effect experiment has not been done due to equipment limitations, resistance-based results suggest resistivities on the order of 1 kQ-cm or less based on similar measurements on MOCVD-grown n- AlGaN reference samples of known resistivity and with similar Si concentrations.
- the present invention is intended to include the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films grown or processed using the steps described above.
- the substrates employed may comprise SiC, MgAkOg MgO, or any other dopant-containing material.
- the substrate can be insulating, semi-insulating, or semiconducting.
- the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films may comprise a nitride alloy that contains some aluminum, such as AIN, AlInN, AlGaN, A1BN or AllnGaN, for example.
- nitride-based semiconductor layers or films may be comprised of various thicknesses.
- the present invention considers the substrate characteristics of the nitride- based semiconductor layers or films needed to ensure the presence of dopant elements and enhancement of electrical conductivity during high-temperature annealing treatment.
- the key advantage of the dopant-containing substrate and annealing is that the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films can be altered in some desirable way without the need for doping in-situ during growth or by ion implantation, which have many limitations discussed above.
- the substrate to act as a source for dopant atoms to diffuse from the substrate into the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films improves a characteristic of the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films after the annealing as compared the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films before the annealing.
- the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films have an enhanced electrical conductivity after the annealing as compared to the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films before the annealing.
- the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films are more heavily doped as compared to doping of the nitride-based semiconductor layers or films in-situ during growth or by ion implantation.
