Description
(空孔型欠陥濃度の評価とΔα/αについて)
図1は、Δα/αのC軸方位分布依存性の調査結果を示す図であり、図2は、Δα/αの刃状成分を持つ転位密度に対する依存性の調査結果を示す図であり、図3は、Δα/αの不純物添加量(Si)に対する依存性の調査結果の図である。
一般に、HVPE法によって作製されたGaN基板は、Ga極性面を内側にした反りを有する。これは、成長初期過程における結晶粒界密度の変化に起因する内部応力によるものと考えられている。
上記の「マクロな応力」のほかにも、空孔発生に寄与すると考えられる応力の原因が、存在する。それは、刃状成分をもつ転位の存在である。刃状転位の周辺には、転位芯からの距離に反比例する応力場が存在し、これが空孔型欠陥濃度の増加に寄与していると考えられる。
GaN基板は、充分な導電性を確保するために、通常はn型の不純物を添加する。不純物は、Si、GeおよびOが代表的である。GaN基板は、これら電気的に活性な不純物を添加されると、電荷の中性条件の要請から空孔の形成エネルギーが低下し、小さなエネルギーでも空孔が形成されるようになるため、空孔が発生しやすくなることが知られている。
上記した第1の実施の形態によれば、基板の主面内で中心値が±0.03度以下であり、転位の密度が2×106cm−2以下であり、不純物の総量が1×1019cm−3以下とした結果、高温でも空孔型欠陥濃度の増大が小さい、高品質なGaN自立基板が提供される。それを用いてLED、LD等、特に大電流駆動を行う窒化物半導体装置は、動作効率や素子寿命の顕著な向上を図ることができる。
図8は、本発明の第2の実施の形態に係るLED素子寿命のΔα/αに対する依存性の調査結果を示す図である。
上記の実施の形態においてはLED素子の場合のみ記したが、これに限定されず、これ以外にもLDや電力変換素子等、高出力動作が必要な素子に対しても同様に大きな効果を発揮する。また、HVPE法で作製したGaN自立基板8に関してのみ述べたが、これに限定されず、フラックス法やアンモノサーマル法などのほかの方法を用いることも考えられる。
