Description

Epitaxial growth method for improving quality of nonpolar GaN material by inserting InGaN layer
The technical field is as follows:
the invention belongs to the technical field of GaN material epitaxy, and relates to a technology for improving the quality of a nonpolar GaN material and reducing dislocation.
Background art:
gallium nitride (GaN) has the characteristics of direct wide bandgap, stable chemical property and high temperature resistance, and is widely applied to luminescent devices, photoelectric detectors, solar cells and the like. The traditional GaN film prepared on a sapphire substrate grows along the c axis of a polar axis, and a strong polarization electric field can appear in an active region of a device, so that electron hole pairs are separated, a quantum confinement Stark effect appears, and the luminous efficiency of the device is reduced. To avoid polarization effects, a-plane or m-plane nonpolar GaN material may be grown on the substrate. Due to the fact thatThe bulk GaN substrate is small in size and high in price, and currently, the main nonpolar GaN material is grown on an external substrate, such as a r-plane sapphire substrate, and a-plane nonpolar GaN is heteroepitaxially grown. Hetero-epitaxial a-plane nonpolar GaN with c-axis and m-axis at the growth plane (11)20) And the crystal lattice mismatch with the r-plane sapphire substrate is large, the crystal lattice mismatch is 1.2% along the c axis, and the crystal lattice mismatch is 16% along the m axis, so that the quality of the heteroepitaxial GaN material is poor, and the epitaxial material shows anisotropy. The quality of non-polar GaN material is a greater distance from commercial production requirements than polar GaN material grown along the c-axis. Although many in-situ defect and dislocation removal techniques are widely used for the growth of non-polar GaN materials, such as two-step growth method of converting three-dimensional growth into two-dimensional growth, SiN insertion layer technique, pattern substrate technique, etc. The two-step growth method is simple and effective, but a thicker three-dimensional GaN layer needs to be grown to reduce dislocation, and the thicker three-dimensional GaN layer can degrade the surface appearance of the material. In any method, the problem of material quality is not completely solved, and at present, two main problems exist in the growth of the non-polar GaN material, one is poor surface appearance, and a large number of stripes and triangular pits which fluctuate along the c axis exist; another is the presence of a large number of defects including threading dislocations and basal plane stacking faults.
Therefore, there is a need to provide a method for growing a non-polar GaN material based on a sapphire substrate, which has a low dislocation density and a good surface morphology and can improve the quality of a non-polar GaN film, so as to solve the above problems. The InGaN insertion layer method provided by the inventor is combined with a two-step growth method, so that dislocation can be continuously reduced, and the surface appearance of the material is improved.
The invention content is as follows:
the invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art, and the quality of a nonpolar a-plane GaN thin film material growing on a sapphire substrate is improved, the dislocation density is reduced, and the surface appearance is improved by a Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) method.

The conventional method is a two-step growth method, a three-dimensional nonpolar GaN film grows under the conditions of high pressure and high V/III ratio, dislocation can be reduced, but the excessively thick three-dimensional GaN grows to bring rough surface appearance and influence the quality of materials grown subsequently. On the basis, the two-dimensional nonpolar GaN film grows under the conditions of low pressure and low V/III ratio, and the surface appearance can be improved. However, the nonpolar GaN thin film grown by the two-step growth method still has high dislocation density and a rough surface, which is not beneficial to the growth of subsequent semiconductor devices. According to the invention, the InGaN insertion layer is introduced, and has the capabilities of relieving stress generated due to different lattice constants, changing the dislocation transmission direction and cutting off partial dislocation, and blocking transmission of threading dislocation generated by mismatch of most sapphire substrates and GaN epitaxial layers. Therefore, the grown nonpolar GaN film has lower dislocation density and better surface appearance. Can improve the defects of the original two-step growth method.
