Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及半导体制造及设计技术领域,特别涉及一种半导体结构及其形成方法。The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing and design, in particular to a semiconductor structure and a forming method thereof.
背景技术 Background technique
近年来,发光二极管(light emitting diode,LED)以其寿命长、发光效率高、体积小、坚固耐用、颜色丰富,被广泛应用于显示屏、背光源、特种照明等领域。LED的核心是LED外延片,其主要结构包括:衬底、缓冲层、N型半导体层、有源区发光层、电子阻挡层、P型半导体层。作为LED外延片核心的有源区发光层介于N型半导体层与P型半导体层之间,使P型半导体层和N型半导体层的界面构成的PN结。由于衬底和膜层不同的热膨胀系数,以及淀积方法的制约,因此致使了在膜层生长后,会由于热失配而在膜层内会产生内应力,例如对于LED领域的Al2O3(蓝宝石)衬底来说,在Al2O3衬底生长的GaN外延片就会产生拉应力,再例如如果在SiC衬底生长的GaN外延片会产生压应力。然而蓝宝石衬底非常昂贵,而且晶圆不易做大,因此导致目前的LED非常昂贵。由于Si材料便宜,工艺成熟,且有大直径晶圆,因此,目前出现了很多基于Si材料的应用,如光电、微波等应用需要用到不同的材料,如GaN等。In recent years, light emitting diodes (light emitting diodes, LEDs) have been widely used in display screens, backlight sources, special lighting, and other fields due to their long life, high luminous efficiency, small size, durability, and rich colors. The core of the LED is the LED epitaxial wafer, and its main structure includes: a substrate, a buffer layer, an N-type semiconductor layer, an active region light-emitting layer, an electron blocking layer, and a P-type semiconductor layer. As the core of the LED epitaxial wafer, the light-emitting layer in the active area is between the N-type semiconductor layer and the P-type semiconductor layer, so that the interface between the P-type semiconductor layer and the N-type semiconductor layer forms a PN junction. Due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the substrate and the film layer, as well as the constraints of the deposition method, after the film layer grows, internal stress will be generated in the film layer due to thermal mismatch, such as Al 2 O in the LED field 3 (sapphire) substrates, GaN epitaxial wafers grown on Al 2 O 3 substrates will generate tensile stress, and for example, GaN epitaxial wafers grown on SiC substrates will generate compressive stress. However, the sapphire substrate is very expensive, and the wafer is not easy to make large, so the current LED is very expensive. Because Si material is cheap, the process is mature, and there are large-diameter wafers, there are currently many applications based on Si materials, such as optoelectronics and microwave applications, which require different materials, such as GaN.
但是,Si和这些III-V族化合物半导体材料存在很大的热应力失配,热应力失配将在较大外延厚度时会引起薄膜出现龟裂(Crack),外延出来的薄膜质量不佳,因此限制了薄膜的厚度。However, there is a large thermal stress mismatch between Si and these III-V compound semiconductor materials. The thermal stress mismatch will cause cracks in the film when the epitaxial thickness is large, and the quality of the epitaxial film is not good. The thickness of the film is thus limited.

在本发明的实施例中,第二多孔结构层3400和第三多孔结构层3200中的孔隙率和孔径均小于第一多孔结构层3300中的孔隙率和孔径。其中,第一半导体材料衬底3100与第二半导体材料层3500的材料不同,例如,第一半导体材料衬底3100可包括Si、低Ge组分SiGe或其组合等,而第二半导体材料层3500可包括III-V族化合物半导体材料。这样,在本发明实施例中,由于第一多孔结构层3300的孔隙率和孔径都较大,因此可以通过上述第一多孔结构层3300将后续的热失配应力释放。另外,在本发明的实施例中,通过孔隙率和孔径都较小的第二多孔结构层3400可以改善第一半导体材料衬底3100与第二半导体材料层3500之间的位错。其次,在本发明的实施例中,第三多孔结构层3200的厚度大于第一多孔结构层3300的厚度,例如第一多孔结构层3300的厚度约为几十nm到几百nm之间,而第二多孔结构层3400的厚度约为几nm到几十nm之间,第三多孔结构层3200的厚度约为几十nm到几十μm之间,由于孔隙率不同,这样可在第三多孔结构层3200和第一多孔结构层3300之间容易进行切割剥离,从而方便后续工艺中去除多孔结构层。In an embodiment of the present invention, the porosity and pore size of the second porous structure layer 3400 and the third porous structure layer 3200 are smaller than those of the first porous structure layer 3300 . Wherein, the materials of the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 and the second semiconductor material layer 3500 are different, for example, the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 may include Si, low Ge composition SiGe or a combination thereof, while the second semiconductor material layer 3500 Group III-V compound semiconductor materials may be included. In this way, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the porosity and pore size of the first porous structure layer 3300 are relatively large, the subsequent thermal mismatch stress can be released through the above-mentioned first porous structure layer 3300 . In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, dislocation between the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 and the second semiconductor material layer 3500 can be improved by the second porous structure layer 3400 having a smaller porosity and pore size. Secondly, in the embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the third porous structure layer 3200 is greater than the thickness of the first porous structure layer 3300, for example, the thickness of the first porous structure layer 3300 is about tens to hundreds of nm. , while the thickness of the second porous structure layer 3400 is about several nm to tens of nm, and the thickness of the third porous structure layer 3200 is about tens nm to tens of μm. Due to the difference in porosity, such Cutting and peeling can be easily performed between the third porous structure layer 3200 and the first porous structure layer 3300, thereby facilitating removal of the porous structure layer in subsequent processes.
在本发明的一个实施例中,第一半导体材料衬底3100为硅衬底或低锗组分的锗硅层,第三多孔结构层3200、第一多孔结构层3300和第二多孔结构层3400均为多孔硅结构层或者多孔锗硅结构层。In one embodiment of the present invention, the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 is a silicon substrate or a silicon germanium layer with a low germanium composition, the third porous structure layer 3200, the first porous structure layer 3300 and the second porous structure layer The structural layers 3400 are all porous silicon structural layers or porous germanium silicon structural layers.
如图4所示,为本发明实施例二的半导体结构的形成方法流程图,包括以下步骤:As shown in FIG. 4, it is a flowchart of a method for forming a semiconductor structure according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, including the following steps:
步骤S401,提供第一半导体材料衬底3100,第一半导体材料衬底3100可包括Si、低Ge组分SiGe或其组合等。In step S401, a first semiconductor material substrate 3100 is provided, and the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 may include Si, SiGe with a low Ge composition, or a combination thereof.
步骤S402,在第一半导体材料衬底3100之上形成第三多孔结构层3200、第一多孔结构层3300和第二多孔结构层3400。其中,第三多孔结构层3200和第二多孔结构层3400的孔隙率和孔径均小于第一多孔结构层3300中的孔隙率和孔径。第三多孔结构层3200的厚度大于第一多孔结构层3300的厚度,例如第一多孔结构层3300的厚度约为几十nm到几百nm之间,而第二多孔结构层3400的厚度约为几nm到几十nm之间,第三多孔结构层3200的厚度约为几十nm到几十μm之间。在本发明的实施例中,可通过多种方式在第一半导体材料衬底3100之上形成第三多孔结构层3200、第一多孔结构层3300和第二多孔结构层3400,例如:Step S402 , forming a third porous structure layer 3200 , a first porous structure layer 3300 and a second porous structure layer 3400 on the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 . Wherein, the porosity and pore diameter of the third porous structure layer 3200 and the second porous structure layer 3400 are smaller than those of the first porous structure layer 3300 . The thickness of the third porous structure layer 3200 is greater than the thickness of the first porous structure layer 3300, for example, the thickness of the first porous structure layer 3300 is about tens to hundreds of nm, while the second porous structure layer 3400 The thickness of the third porous structure layer 3200 is between several tens of nm and several tens of nm. In the embodiment of the present invention, the third porous structure layer 3200, the first porous structure layer 3300 and the second porous structure layer 3400 can be formed on the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 in various ways, for example:
方式一,method one,
对第一半导体材料衬底3100进行阳极氧化,同时向第一半导体材料衬底3100施加多级脉冲形式的阳极电流以在第一半导体材料衬底3100的顶部形成第三多孔结构层3200、第一多孔结构层3300和第二多孔结构层3400。其中,在该实施例中多级脉冲形式的阳极电流是指分两级或多级逐渐提高电流的幅度,从而达到第一多孔结构层3300的孔隙率和孔径均大于第三多孔结构层3200和第二多孔结构层3400的孔隙率和孔径的目的。Anodize the first semiconductor material substrate 3100, and at the same time apply anodic current in the form of multilevel pulses to the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 to form a third porous structure layer 3200, a second porous structure layer 3200 on the top of the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 A porous structure layer 3300 and a second porous structure layer 3400 . Wherein, in this embodiment, the anode current in the form of multi-level pulse means that the magnitude of the current is gradually increased in two or more levels, so that the porosity and pore diameter of the first porous structure layer 3300 are larger than those of the third porous structure layer. 3200 and the purpose of the porosity and pore size of the second porous structure layer 3400.
方式二,way two,
为了方便第一多孔结构层3300的形成,在进行阳极氧化之前,还需要对第一半导体材料衬底3100进行注入,注入深度的注入层的厚度可控制为第一多孔结构层3300的厚度。这样在进行阳极氧化之后注入层就可被腐蚀为第一多孔结构层3300。In order to facilitate the formation of the first porous structure layer 3300, the first semiconductor material substrate 3100 needs to be implanted before anodic oxidation, and the thickness of the implanted layer at the implantation depth can be controlled to be the thickness of the first porous structure layer 3300 . In this way, the injection layer can be etched into the first porous structure layer 3300 after anodization.
步骤S403,在第二多孔结构层3400之上形成第二半导体材料层3500。其中,第二半导体材料层3500可包括III-V族化合物半导体材料等。Step S403 , forming a second semiconductor material layer 3500 on the second porous structure layer 3400 . Wherein, the second semiconductor material layer 3500 may include III-V compound semiconductor materials and the like.
如图5所示,为本发明实施例三的半导体结构图。该半导体结构包括第一半导体材料衬底1100、形成在第一半导体材料衬底5100之上的第一多孔结构层5200和第二多孔结构层5300,以及形成在第二多孔结构层5300之上的第二半导体材料层5400。在该实施例中,第一多孔结构层中包括多个第一区域6100和间隔在两个第一区域6100之间的第二区域6200,其中,第一区域6100的孔隙率及孔径均大于第二区域6200的孔隙率及孔径。可通过以下方法形成这样的第一多孔结构层。如先在第一半导体材料衬底之上形成掩膜层,之后刻蚀该掩膜层以形成多个开口,通过这些开口对第一半导体材料衬底进行注入以在开口处形成第一注入区域,接着进行阳极氧化,由于注入引起的损伤,因此第一注入区域在经过阳极氧化之后就可以形成第一区域。这样,就可以将第一区域中的孔隙率及孔径做的更大,更有利于释放应力,同时由于第一区域之间设有孔隙率及孔径较小的第二区域作为支撑,从而不会因为释放应力而导致塌陷。As shown in FIG. 5 , it is a semiconductor structure diagram of Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The semiconductor structure includes a first
在本发明中,在后续的外延工艺冷却之后,通过上述多孔结构层的机械形变可以释放热失配应力,从而可以使产生的III-V族薄膜避免Crack现象,因此通过本发明可以生长比较厚的III-V族材料。另外,在本发明中还可在多孔结构层之上再形成一层更低孔隙率和孔径的多孔结构层,从而可以消除第一半导体材料和第二半导体材料之间的位错。更为优选地,还可在第一半导体材料衬底与上述多孔结构层之间再形成一层更低孔隙率和孔径的多孔结构层,从而方便对多孔结构层的去除。本发明通过多孔结构层能够释放Si材料与外延材料的热失配应力,防止比较大厚度下外延膜龟裂等问题的发生,提高外延膜晶体质量。因此通过本发明能够在Si衬底上外延大厚度的与Si材料存在较大热失配应力的外延材料层(如GaN等),而且多孔Si材料在后续工艺中可以被去除掉,因此也不会对后续器件工艺造成影响。In the present invention, after the subsequent epitaxial process is cooled, the thermal mismatch stress can be released through the mechanical deformation of the porous structure layer, so that the produced III-V thin film can avoid the Crack phenomenon, so it can grow thicker by the present invention. of III-V materials. In addition, in the present invention, a porous structure layer with lower porosity and pore size can be formed on the porous structure layer, so that the dislocation between the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material can be eliminated. More preferably, another layer of porous structure layer with lower porosity and pore diameter can be formed between the first semiconductor material substrate and the above-mentioned porous structure layer, so as to facilitate the removal of the porous structure layer. The invention can release the thermal mismatch stress between the Si material and the epitaxial material through the porous structure layer, prevent the occurrence of problems such as cracking of the epitaxial film at a relatively large thickness, and improve the crystal quality of the epitaxial film. Therefore, the epitaxial material layer (such as GaN, etc.) that has a large thermal mismatch stress with the Si material can be epitaxed on the Si substrate by the present invention, and the porous Si material can be removed in the subsequent process, so there is no It will affect the subsequent device process.
本发明采用在孔隙率大的多孔硅上外延与Si材料热失配较大半导体材料层,可以通过脆弱的多孔硅层在冷却过程中发生部分形变释放掉热失配应力,保证外延薄膜材料层的完好,可以外延比较厚的外延材料层。其次,通过图形化的多孔硅(即多个第一区域和第二区域的多孔硅结构)可以控制热失配应力的释放,提供良好的机械支撑,进一步提高外延薄膜的质量。The present invention adopts epitaxy on the porous silicon with large porosity and a large thermal mismatch semiconductor material layer with the Si material, which can release the thermal mismatch stress through the partial deformation of the fragile porous silicon layer during the cooling process, so as to ensure the epitaxial thin film material layer Intact, can epitaxial thicker epitaxial material layer. Secondly, the release of thermal mismatch stress can be controlled through the patterned porous silicon (that is, the porous silicon structure of multiple first regions and second regions), providing good mechanical support and further improving the quality of the epitaxial film.
