Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nitride semiconductor substrate manufacturing method and a nitride semiconductor device manufacturing method.
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a nitride-based semiconductor substrate and a method for manufacturing a nitride-based semiconductor device used for nitride-based semiconductor lasers and the like that are expected to be applied in the fields of optical information processing and wireless communication.
- Nitride-based semiconductors that contain nitrogen (N) as a group V element are promising as materials for short-wavelength light-emitting elements and high-power semiconductor circuits because of their large band gap.
- LEDs Blue light emitting diodes
- semiconductor lasers having an oscillation wavelength in the 400 nm band have attracted attention and are now reaching a practical level.
- Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of a conventional GaN semiconductor laser.
- a GaN Noffer layer 1700 As shown in Fig. 1, on the sapphire substrate 1700, there is a GaN Noffer layer 1700, n-GaN layer 1700, n-AlGaN cladding layer 1 7 0 4, n- G a n light guide layer 1 7 0 5, G a - !
- Sapphire, S i C (silicon-carbon), or S i (silicon) are used as substrates for growing G a N-based crystals, but none of these substrates are lattice matched to G a N. Crystal growth becomes difficult. For this reason, there are many dislocations (edge dislocations, screw dislocations, mixed dislocations). For example, when a sapphire substrate or SiC substrate is used, there are approximately 1 X 10 9 cm 2 dislocations. As a result, the threshold current of the semiconductor laser increases and the reliability decreases.
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of a GaN crystal formed by ELOG. On the sapphire substrate 180 1, GaN crystals 1 8 0 2 are formed by the M0 VPE method or the like.
- This G a N crystal 1 8 0 2
- S i O 2 1 8 0 3 is formed by the C VD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method.
- This Si 0 2 1 8 0 3 is processed into stripes by photolithography and etching.
- a GaN-based semiconductor layer 1804 is deposited by selective growth using the exposed portion of the GaN crystal 1802 as a seed crystal.
- the MOVPE method or the hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVP E method) is used as the growth method.
- the laterally grown region 1 8 0 5 has a dislocation density of about lxl 0 7 cn 2 It can be reduced to. Then, an attempt is made to improve the reliability by forming an active region on the upper portion of the region 180 with few dislocations. 2 is the same as that of the conventional semiconductor laser shown in FIG. 1, and therefore, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.
- the N d: YAG laser A method of separating (lifting off) a GaN-based semiconductor layer in the vicinity of a sapphire substrate by irradiating a laser beam using the third harmonic (wavelength 3 55 nm) is shown.
- the reason why the GaN-based semiconductor layer can be separated by irradiating laser light in this way is that the GaN-based semiconductor layer near the sapphire substrate is low in quality and has a high carrier concentration. It is.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-1 9 1 6 5 7 discloses a method for growing a nitride semiconductor
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2 0 0 1-9 3 8 3 7 discloses a semiconductor thin film. Each structure and its fabrication method is disclosed.
- the difference between the lattice constant of the sapphire substrate and the lattice constant of the GaN semiconductor layer grown on the sapphire substrate is large, a semiconductor in which a GaN semiconductor layer is stacked on the sapphire substrate.
- the device has a structure in which stress is applied to the GaN-based semiconductor layer side. As a result, electrical characteristics are reduced, and reliability such as yield and productivity is also reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the sapphire substrate and the GaN-based semiconductor layer and form an element on the GaN-based semiconductor substrate.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a method for manufacturing a nitride semiconductor substrate excellent in controllability of separation between the sapphire substrate and the GaN-based semiconductor layer. There is to do.
- a method for manufacturing a nitride-based semiconductor substrate according to the present invention includes a step of depositing a first nitride-based semiconductor layer on a substrate, and the first nitride-based semiconductor layer described above.
- a step of applying a thermal annealing to the substrate on which the first and second nitride semiconductor layers are deposited is a step of applying a thermal annealing to the substrate on which the first and second nitride semiconductor layers are deposited.
