Description
本揭露係關於一種複合基板,特別是關於一種供磊晶成長的複合基板及其製作方法。 The present disclosure relates to a composite substrate, in particular to a composite substrate for epitaxial growth and a manufacturing method thereof.
氮化鎵材料因為具有寬能隙、高臨界電場、高導熱率、高飽和電子速度、高頻傳輸能力以及元件體積小等特性,使得氮化鎵在高功率及高速電晶體的應用上被視為是相當理想的材料,尤其是在高電子遷移率電晶體(high electron mobility transistor,HEMT)等高頻元件或是發光二極體(LED)元件的應用上相當廣泛。 Gallium nitride material is regarded as a high-power and high-speed transistor application because of its wide energy gap, high critical electric field, high thermal conductivity, high saturation electron velocity, high-frequency transmission capability, and small component size. As an ideal material, it is widely used in high-frequency components such as high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) or light-emitting diode (LED) components.
矽基板在價格成本上有其競爭優勢,因此將氮化鎵等III-V族半導體化合物成長在矽基板上的電路設計方案正在蓬勃地研究與發展。由於氮化鎵與矽基板在晶格常數與熱膨脹係數等性質差異過大,使得氮化鎵成長期間會產生很大的拉應力,進而使矽晶圓翹曲甚至產生裂紋,如此在電性方面會導致所形成的氮化鎵元件漏電流增加,並降低載子遷移率與運作效率。 Silicon substrates have competitive advantages in terms of price and cost. Therefore, the circuit design scheme of growing III-V semiconductor compounds such as gallium nitride on silicon substrates is being vigorously researched and developed. Due to the large difference in properties such as lattice constant and thermal expansion coefficient between GaN and silicon substrates, a large tensile stress will be generated during the growth of GaN, which will cause the silicon wafer to warp or even crack. As a result, the leakage current of the formed GaN device increases, and the carrier mobility and operating efficiency are reduced.
有鑑於此,本揭露提供了供磊晶成長的複合基板及其製作方法,此 複合基板可抗翹曲,其提供高電子遷移率電晶體的磊晶結構成長,可得到高磊晶品質且低翹曲的磊晶結構,以解決習知技術中存在的缺失。 In view of this, the present disclosure provides a composite substrate for epitaxial growth and a manufacturing method thereof.

根據本揭露之實施例,由於在複合基板100的製作過程中包括施行高溫熱處理,且經過高溫熱處理後,重摻雜基底102中會析出(precipitation)氧化物,並且當摻雜濃度較高時,氧化物析出的密度也較高,使得重摻雜基底102的機械強度增加,進而在磊晶結構200成長於複合基板100上時,可以抵抗或減緩磊晶成長時的應力所造成的翹曲形變,並且降低磊晶過程中的升降溫所造成的熱衝擊,讓磊晶結構200的表面曲率變化小。舉例來說,當重摻雜基底102是矽基基底(silicon-based substrate)時,析出的氧化物可以包括摻質的氧化物,例如硼(B)、磷(P)、砷(As)、鋱(Tb)或前述之組合之氧化物。此外,增加重摻雜基底102的厚度有助於提昇複合基板100的抗翹曲能力,並且厚度較薄的半導體層106在高溫磊晶時會產生自體排列而降低應力,因此本揭露之複合基板100對於磊晶結構200之磊晶成長,可以達到高磊晶品質且抗翹曲的效果,例如磊晶結構200和複合基板100整體的翹曲度可以小於50μm。
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, because high-temperature heat treatment is included in the manufacturing process of the
又,還可以藉由調整介電緩衝層104的組成和厚度,用以增強複合基板100整體的抗彎曲性或楊氏係數(young’s modulus),因而改善複合基板100的翹
曲程度。
In addition, the composition and thickness of the
此外,在複合基板100上磊晶成長磊晶結構200時,重摻雜基底102和半導體層106之間的鍵合界面可以釋放磊晶成長時所造成的應力,進一步防止翹曲及裂紋產生。再者,根據本揭露之實施例,半導體層106的表面上的微圖案106P可以讓磊晶結構200以側向磊晶成長(epitaxial lateral overgrowth,ELOG)方式成長,此磊晶方式可以在磊晶過程中將所產生的缺陷彎曲,避免缺陷擴散增加。同時,微圖案106P也可以增加磊晶成長的介面(boundary),吸收晶格不匹配所產生的應力,配合本揭露之複合基板100的抗翹曲特性,可以得到低缺陷密度、高磊晶品質、低翹曲度、低應力的氮化鎵磊晶結構,進而在後續應用於HEMT時,提昇HEMT的電性特性與效率,例如崩潰電壓、熱傳導及良率的提昇。

FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a
然後,施行步驟306,對重摻雜基底、或第二基板、或前述兩者進行氧化處理,至少形成一介電緩衝層包裹重摻雜基底、或第二基板,或者形成兩個介電緩衝層分別包裹前述兩者。例如,在一實施例中,如第1圖所示的介電緩衝層104包裹重摻雜基底102。在另一實施例中,介電緩衝層可包裹第二基板。在又另一實施例中,重摻雜基底和第二基板皆可各自被介電緩衝層包裹。在一實施例中,可在950℃至1250℃,例如1050℃,含氧的環境下進行熱氧化製程,以形成介電緩衝層。熱氧化製程的時間為1至6小時,介電緩衝層例如為厚度0.5μm
至2μm的氧化矽層。
Then, step 306 is performed to oxidize the heavily doped base or the second substrate, or both, to form at least one dielectric buffer layer surrounding the heavily doped base or the second substrate, or to form two dielectric buffer layers. The layers wrap the aforementioned two separately. For example, in one embodiment, the
之後,將第二基板與重摻雜基底貼合。可在常壓或真空環境下,將第二基板與重摻雜基底對準貼合,此時形成在第二基板、或重摻雜基底、或前述兩者上的介電緩衝層有利於兩者的緊密貼合。 After that, attach the second substrate to the heavily doped base. The second substrate and the heavily doped substrate can be aligned and bonded under normal pressure or in a vacuum environment. At this time, the dielectric buffer layer formed on the second substrate, or the heavily doped substrate, or both of them is beneficial to the two substrates. tight fit.
之後,施行步驟308,將第二基板與重摻雜基底貼合後,進行熱處理。根據本揭露一實施例,第二基板與重摻雜基底貼合後的熱處理可在溫度950℃至1250℃、或1050℃至1250℃,含氧的環境下進行,熱處理時間為小於2小時。此熱處理可以幫助第二基板與重摻雜基底的鍵合(bonding),並且使得重摻雜基底發生氧析出行為,此析出行為是以摻雜原子的氧化物析出,隨著熱處理時間越長,摻雜濃度越高,析出的氧化物密度越高,且析出的氧化物尺寸也越大,這將有助於提昇重摻雜基底的機械強度,在一實施例中,相較於未摻雜的第一基板,重摻雜基底的楊氏係數可提高約10至15%。 Afterwards, step 308 is performed, and heat treatment is performed after bonding the second substrate and the heavily doped base. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat treatment after bonding the second substrate and the heavily doped base can be performed at a temperature of 950° C. to 1250° C. or 1050° C. to 1250° C. in an oxygen-containing environment, and the heat treatment time is less than 2 hours. This heat treatment can help the bonding (bonding) of the second substrate and the heavily doped substrate, and make the oxygen precipitation behavior of the heavily doped substrate occur. This precipitation behavior is the oxide precipitation of doping atoms. As the heat treatment time increases, The higher the doping concentration, the higher the density of the precipitated oxide, and the larger the size of the precipitated oxide, which will help to improve the mechanical strength of the heavily doped substrate. In one embodiment, compared with the undoped For the first substrate, the Young's modulus of the heavily doped substrate can be increased by about 10 to 15%.
然後,施行步驟310,將第二基板減薄,形成半導體層於介電緩衝層上,例如第1至9圖所示的半導體層106。根據本揭露一實施例,可藉由研磨、拋光等製程,將第二基板的厚度減薄為0.5μm至3μm。
Then, step 310 is performed to thin the second substrate to form a semiconductor layer on the dielectric buffer layer, such as the
接著,施行步驟312,進行光微影及蝕刻製程,在半導體層的表面上形成微圖案,得到複合基板,其中磊晶結構係成長於半導體層的具有微圖案的表面上,例如第1至9圖所示的半導體層106的微圖案106P。可在半導體層106上塗布光阻層,進行曝光顯影(又稱光微影)製程,得到圖案化的光阻,或者利用雷射雕刻等方式得到圖案化的光阻。利用圖案化的光阻作為遮罩,對半導體層106進行蝕刻製程,在半導體層106的表面上形成微圖案106P。可以藉由光阻的圖案、半導體層106的材料、以及蝕刻製程所使用的蝕刻劑和蝕刻參數,來得到各種型態的微圖案106P。光阻的圖案可對應於欲形成的微圖案106P,並且可選用不同結晶面的半導體層106,在蝕刻後可得到不同型態的微圖案106P。蝕刻製程可以是
乾蝕刻或濕蝕刻製程,乾蝕刻例如是電漿蝕刻製程,可以使用含F、Cl、Br之蝕刻氣體的組合,或是其他蝕刻劑蒸氣,例如KOH、NaOH、HCl、HNO3等,並藉由控制蝕刻參數,例如蝕刻時間為0.5分鐘至3小時,蝕刻溫度為60℃至150℃,得到不同型態的微圖案106P。此外,根據本揭露一實施例,還可以在半導體層106上形成硬遮罩層,並經由光微影及蝕刻製程將硬遮罩層圖案化,利用圖案化的硬遮罩層作為蝕刻遮罩,對半導體層106進行蝕刻,形成微圖案106P,並且圖案化的硬遮罩層108留在微圖案106P的頂面上,如第5圖和第6圖所示。

根據本揭露之實施例,磊晶結構200係成長於複合基板100之半導體層106的具有微圖案106P的表面上。半導體層106的表面上的微圖案106P可以讓磊晶結構200以側向磊晶成長(ELOG)方式成長,在磊晶過程中將所產生的缺陷彎曲,避免缺陷擴散增加,同時微圖案106P也可以增加磊晶成長的介面(boundary),吸收晶格不匹配所產生的應力。此外,複合基板100的重摻雜基底102於高溫熱處理後會有氧化物析出,其增加了重摻雜基底102的機械強度,進而在磊晶結構200成長於複合基板100上時,可以抵抗或減緩磊晶成長時的應力所造成的翹曲形變,並且降低磊晶過程中的升降溫所造成的熱衝擊,讓磊晶結構200的表面曲率變化小。因此,本揭露之複合基板100對於磊晶結構200之磊晶成長,可以達到高磊晶品質且抗翹曲的效果,進而在後續應用於HEMT時,可以提昇HEMT的電性特性與效率。
