Description

掺杂少量钒的半绝缘碳化硅单晶、衬底、制备方法 技术领域
本申请涉及一种掺杂少量钒的高质量半绝缘碳化硅单晶、衬底及其制备方法,属于半导体材料领域。
背景技术
半绝缘碳化硅(SiC)单晶衬底由于具有禁带宽度大、电阻率及热导率高、击穿场强大等优异的物理性能而成为制备GaN基高频微波器件的优选半导体材料。随着5G技术的不断发展,市场端对半绝缘碳化硅单晶衬底的需求数量不断扩大,更重要的,批量商业化的应用对碳化硅半绝缘单晶衬底的质量要求也提出了更高的要求。
目前已经产业化的半绝缘碳化硅单晶制备是在物理气相法(PVT)的基础上,通过引入高浓度的钒杂质作为深能级补偿中心实现半绝缘特性,由此制备的碳化硅单晶称为掺杂半绝缘碳化硅单晶;或者通过在晶体制备过程中不断降低晶体中的浅能级杂质浓度并引入一定数量的本征点缺陷实现其半绝缘特性,由此制备的碳化硅单晶称为高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶。
掺杂半绝缘碳化硅单晶在制备过程中由于有高浓度钒引入,容易在晶体中形成钒的沉淀物并诱生微管缺陷,降低晶体质量;此外,研究表明高浓度的钒在器件中作为电子俘获中心,会引起背栅效应,降低甚至破坏器件性能。因此,随着衬底制备技术和器件制备技术的发展,高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶衬底逐渐成为主流。高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶中较低的浅能级杂质能够降低晶体中的有效载流子浓度,同时通过引入的特定数量的本征点缺陷将费米能级钉扎在禁带中心,从而实现晶体的半绝缘特 性。然而,本征点缺陷在晶体中具有较高的迁移速率,在一定温度下(如GaN外延层制备的温度条件下)会发生迁移扩散并湮灭,这会引起衬底电阻率的不稳定性,同样对器件性能的稳定性造成影响。
掺杂半绝缘碳化硅单晶中钒浓度[V]通常为1×10 17~1×10 18cm ‐3,相应的氮浓度[N]高于10 17cm ‐3量级,其制备过程中的高浓度钒掺杂具有较高的技术壁垒,且制备晶体中易形成含大量缺陷和不可控的浅能级杂质浓度,造成晶体质量不可控。高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶中[N]为10 15cm ‐3量级,相应的点缺陷浓度为1×10 15cm ‐3量级及以上,其制备过程中的氮等浅能级杂质浓度去除需要较高的技术成本和资金成本。
发明内容

作为一种实施方式,所述的半绝缘碳化硅单晶由包括下述步骤的方 法制备:
(1)对碳化硅单晶长晶使用的石墨保温毡和石墨坩埚进行高温提纯。石墨坩埚内放置碳化硅粉料,粉料粒度控制在50‐500μm,数量控制在坩埚容积的50%‐80%。将石墨坩埚置于石墨保温并封装于碳化硅长晶炉后,在温度1800‐2500℃、压力5‐50mbar下高温处理20‐100h。该步骤使坩埚内的粉料升华并形成高温气体,高温气体在逸散的过程中能够浸润到石墨坩埚和石墨保温毡中并驱逐其吸附的氮等杂质元素,从而获得高纯度的石墨材料。
(2)将钒元素均匀的掺杂于碳化硅粉料中。钒元素在碳化硅粉料合成过程中的掺杂可以通过与碳化硅粉料混合的方式进行,也可以内置于石墨容器中后埋于混合后的碳化硅粉料中。为了控制后续引入到碳化硅单晶中的钒掺杂浓度,碳化硅粉料中的钒掺杂浓度应相应的进行控制,每1kg反应源粉中应放置0.01‐1g钒元素,其反应后在碳化硅粉料中的浓度应在1×10 16cm ‐3~1×10 17cm ‐3量级,以实现后续长晶过程中的少量钒的含量范围目的。具体的,碳化硅粉料经过与钒混合均匀后,或在石墨容器中放置钒掺杂浓度后的碳化硅粉料反应过程可参考已公开的专利文件。
(3)通过反应获得含有一定掺杂钒浓度的碳化硅粉料后,将少量钒掺杂碳化硅粉料置于石墨坩埚中并封装入长晶炉膛,开始晶体生长。晶体生长过程包括1200℃‐2000℃、800‐1000mbar、5‐50h的高温预处理以去除炉膛内吸附的氮等杂质。本申请引入少量的钒元素,因此相比于高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶,本步骤的提纯过程可以较大的简化,只需将过量的氮元素去除即可,相比高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶的制备过程可以降低技术成本和籽晶成本。完成炉膛内的提纯预处理后,将温度以10‐30℃/min的速率提高至2200℃以上的温度,同时将压力降至5‐50mbar,以使石墨坩埚内的少量钒掺杂碳化硅粉料充分升华。升华后的气相及释放出的钒 元素随着温度梯度传输至籽晶处并结晶。根据重掺杂半绝缘碳化硅单晶生长过程可知,钒元素会在晶体生长过程中占据晶体生长界面一部分晶格位置,从而实现钒元素的掺杂。由于少量钒掺杂碳化硅粉料中含有的钒元素已被限制在1×10 16cm ‐3~1×10 17cm ‐3的含量,经过气相传输过程后,由于传输过程的损耗及钒元素与碳化硅粉料的再结合,最终掺杂进入到晶体中的钒元素浓度应在5×10 15cm ‐3~1×10 17cm ‐3之间。这些进入到碳化硅单晶的钒元素既能作为施主存在,也能作为受主存在,从而补偿掉碳化硅单晶中的浅能级杂质。
(4)碳化硅单晶生长结束后,将碳化硅单晶取出石墨坩埚。由于在碳化硅单晶生长过程中生长界面处于较高的温度,生长界面处部分原子脱离晶格位置形成一定浓度的本征点缺陷。将碳化硅单晶放置于退火炉中,在1800‐2000℃温度下进行10‐50h的退火处理,可去除本征点缺陷。退火过程中,存在于碳化硅单晶中的本征点缺陷经过迁移而湮灭,本征点缺陷的浓度下降至不影响晶体电学性能的水平。
本申请制备的碳化硅单晶的电阻率由残余的浅能级杂质和少量的钒元素决定。由于浅能级杂质和少量的钒元素都占据晶格位置,其具有很高的热稳定性,这也就意味着本申请的碳化硅单晶可以获得具有高度稳定的电阻率。

2)本申请的碳化硅单晶的电阻率由残余的浅能级杂质和少量的钒元素决定,由于这些杂质都占据晶格位置,其具有很高的热稳定性,这也就意味着晶体可以获得具有高度稳定的电阻率,并且具有高的电阻率均匀性。
3)本申请的碳化硅单晶的制备结合现有的掺杂半绝缘碳化硅单晶和高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶制备技术,通过控制碳化硅晶体中的浅能级杂质浓度和深能级掺杂剂的浓度,可以实现具有更高电阻率稳定性的半绝缘碳化硅单晶和衬底,同时可以避免因高浓度掺杂而引起的沉淀物缺陷和电子俘获问题,从而提高碳化硅单晶衬底的质量并有助于使用该衬底的器件性能的提升。
4)本申请的碳化硅单晶中的浅能级杂质浓度不需要降到高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶的水平,可以节约成本,并且降低工艺的难度。
5)本申请的碳化硅单晶作为衬底,具有良好的电学性能稳定性;同时,对碳化硅单晶衬底进行退火前后的面型测试,弯曲度和翘曲度的绝对值变化远远小于外延工艺所要求的退火前后5μm的控制线,表明碳化硅单晶衬底内部应力极小,能够保证衬底具有优异的面型质量,从而保证了后续外延过程中衬底质量的稳定性和一致性。
6)本申请的方法制备掺杂少量钒的半绝缘单晶/单晶衬底,通过碳化硅单晶中的浅能级杂质同时引入少量的钒掺杂替代晶体中的本征点缺陷,实现其半绝缘特性,该制备方法的技术成本和资金成本低。

实施例2 半绝缘碳化硅单晶初品的制备—混料、长晶
将碳化硅粉料与钒元素进行掺杂,制得少量钒掺杂碳化硅粉料,每1kg反应碳化硅粉料中应放置0.01‐1g钒元素,反应后钒在碳化硅粉料中的浓度应在1×10 16cm ‐3~1×10 17cm ‐3量级,以实现后续长晶过程中的钒元素的含量范围。
将少量钒掺杂碳化硅粉分别放置于实施例1处理后的热场1#、热场2#、热场3#、热场4#和热场5#的石墨坩埚中,并封装入长晶炉膛,进行长晶步骤。以热场1#为例说明长晶步骤,长晶步骤的具体长晶条件如表2所示。
本实施例中的长晶步骤包括高温预处理阶段和长晶阶段,高温预处理阶段将炉膛内吸附的氮等杂质去除干净,由于本实施例的目的是通过引入少量的钒元素,因此相比于高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶,本步骤的提纯过程可以较大的简化,只需将过量的氮元素去除即可,相比高纯半绝缘碳化硅单晶的制备过程可以降低技术成本和籽晶成本。
完成炉膛内的提纯预处理后,本申请的长晶阶段的参数控制使得石墨坩埚内的少量钒掺杂碳化硅粉料充分升华,升华后的气相及释放出的钒元素随着温度梯度传输至籽晶处并结晶。根据重掺杂半绝缘碳化硅单晶生长过程可知,钒元素会在晶体生长过程中占据晶体生长界面一部分晶格位置,从而实现钒的掺杂。由于少量钒掺杂碳化硅粉料中含有的钒元素已被限制在1×10 16cm ‐3~1×10 17cm ‐3的含量,经过气相传输过程后,由于传输过程的损耗、钒与碳化硅粉料的再结合,最终掺杂进入到碳化 硅单晶中的钒元素浓度在5×10 15cm ‐3~1×10 17cm ‐3之间。这些进入到碳化硅单晶的钒元素既能作为施主存在,也能作为受主存在,从而补偿掉碳化硅单晶中的浅能级杂质。
实施例3 半绝缘碳化硅单晶的制备—退火
将实施例2制备的碳化硅单晶初品继续进行退火处理,制备得到半绝缘碳化硅单晶。以热场1#进行碳化硅单晶长晶步骤制成的碳化硅单晶初品进行退火处理为例,说明制备碳化硅单晶的步骤。将实施例2的热场1#分别经过表2的长晶步骤制得的半绝缘碳化硅单晶初品进行退火处理分别制得碳化硅单晶1#、碳化硅单晶2#、碳化硅单晶3#、碳化硅单晶4#和碳化硅单晶5#,具体退火处理条件如表2所示。
碳化硅单晶生长结束后,将碳化硅单晶取出石墨坩埚。由于在晶体生长过程中生长界面处于较高的温度,生长界面处部分原子脱离晶格位置形成一定浓度的本征点缺陷。将碳化硅单晶放置于退火炉中,在1800‐2000℃温度下进行10‐50h的退火处理,可去除本征点缺陷。退火过程中,存在于碳化硅单晶中的本征点缺陷经过迁移而湮灭,本征点缺陷的浓度下降至室温下其本征浓度以下且不影响晶体电学性能稳定性的水平。至此,本申请制备的碳化硅单晶的电阻率由残余的浅能级杂质和少量的钒元素决定。由于浅能级杂质和少量的钒元素都占据晶格位置,其具有很高的热稳定性,这也就意味着本申请的碳化硅单晶可以获得具有高度稳定的电阻率。

由于在晶体生长过程中生长界面处于较高的温度,生长界面处部分原子脱离晶格位置形成一定浓度的点缺陷。经过本申请的退火处理,存在于晶体中的点缺陷经过迁移而湮灭,从而浓度下降至不影响晶体电学性能的水平。至此,晶体的电阻率由残余的浅能级杂质和少量的钒元素决定。由于这些杂质都占据晶格位置,其具有很高的热稳定性,这也就意味着晶体可以获得具有高度稳定的电阻率。
实施例4 半绝缘碳化硅单晶的表征
测试实施例3制备的碳化硅单晶的电阻率、晶型、杂质含量、本征点缺陷和电阻率,测试结果表明制得的碳化硅单晶具有半绝缘性,且电阻率高,经过外延工艺退火(900‐1200℃/0.5‐10h)之后的电阻率均值变化值小于55%。以碳化硅单晶1#、碳化硅单晶2#、碳化硅单晶3#、碳化硅单晶4#和碳化硅单晶5#为例说明测试的电阻率、晶型、杂质含量、本征点缺陷和电阻率的结果,如表3所示,其中,浅能级杂质含量包括N、B和Al。

实施例5 半绝缘碳化硅单晶衬底的性能测试
分别将实施例3制备的碳化硅单晶进行切割、研磨和抛光制得4‐8英寸的半绝缘碳化硅单晶衬底,将制得的半绝缘碳化硅单晶衬底进行退火处理,同时测试碳化硅单晶衬底在退火前后的电阻率和面型,测试结果显示,实施例3制备的碳化硅单晶衬底具有良好的电学性能稳定性,且衬底的内部应力极小。
以碳化硅单晶1#制得的4英寸的碳化硅单晶衬底1#为例进行说明。碳化硅单晶衬底1#经过1200℃退火2h后。测试碳化硅单晶衬底1#退火前的电阻率面扫描图如图1所示,碳化硅单晶衬底1#退火后的电阻率面 扫描图如图2所示。测试电阻率均值由4.22×10 11Ω·cm变为3.17×10 11Ω·cm,电阻率衰减<50%;同时,对碳化硅单晶衬底1#进行退火前后的面型测试,碳化硅单晶衬底1#退火前后的WARP值由8.35μm变为8.42μm,BOW值由9.62μm变为9.87μm,弯曲度和翘曲度的绝对值变化远远小于外延工艺所要求的退火前后5μm的控制线,表明碳化硅单晶衬底内部应力极小,能够保证衬底具有优异的面型质量,从而保证了后续外延过程中碳化硅单晶衬底质量的稳定性和一致性。
以上所述,仅为本申请的实施例而已,本申请的保护范围并不受这些具体实施例的限制,而是由本申请的权利要求书来确定。对于本领域技术人员来说,本申请可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本申请的技术思想和原理之内所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
