Description

Method for growing GaN film on graphene
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to a method for growing a GaN film on graphene.
Background
The third generation semiconductor material represented by GaN has important application value in the fields of illumination, display, energy communication, national defense, military industry and the like, and is classified as a strategic advanced electronic material by China. At present, a single crystal GaN self-supporting substrate is expensive, epitaxial growth of a GaN-based device structure is mainly based on a heterogeneous substrate, and lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch inevitably exist between an epitaxial GaN material and the substrate in heterogeneous epitaxy, so that a large number of point defects, line defects and residual stress exist in the GaN material and a device thereof, and the improvement of the performance of the GaN-based device is seriously hindered.
Van der waals epitaxy of GaN material on two-dimensional materials provides a new approach to solve the above problems. Sp is formed between C atoms in the graphene two-dimensional material2Hybrid sigma covalent bonds, three covalent bonds per carbon atom, no dangling bonds at the surface, and bonding together between layers by weak van der waals forces. The GaN epitaxial on the graphene can not form strong covalent bonds at the interface, so that the crystal lattice of the nitride material at the interface can not generate large strain as that of the traditional heteroepitaxy, and the stress of the GaN film can be greatly reduced. Meanwhile, due to weak acting force between the graphene and the epitaxial layer, the epitaxial thin film layer can be easily peeled from the substrate sheet and transferred to other flexible substrate materials, and a new functional device is realized. However, graphene has a lack of dangling bonds on the surface, has low surface energy, is not easy to nucleate GaN, and is difficult to obtain a continuous GaN film. Therefore, the problem that the GaN film is difficult to form on the graphene is solved, and the method has important significance for preparing high-crystal-quality GaN materials and high-performance GaN-based optoelectronic devices on the graphene.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problem that GaN film forming on graphene is difficult. From the perspective of improving the nucleation density of the graphene surface, the epitaxial growth of the GaN film on the graphene is carried out by adopting a low-temperature and high-temperature two-step AlN buffer layer growth process. The method can obtain the high-density AlN nucleation islands on the graphene, and can promote the transverse combination of the high-density AlN nucleation islands, so that sufficient nucleation sites can be provided for the subsequent growth of the GaN, and the epitaxial growth of the GaN film is realized.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the invention provides a method for growing a GaN film on graphene (see figures 1 and 2 and description of figures), which is characterized in that: growing a graphene layer 2 on a substrate layer 1, and then preprocessing the surface of the grown graphene layer 2 by using plasma; then sequentially epitaxially growing an AlN buffer layer 3 (with the thickness of 20-400 nm) and a GaN layer 4 (with the thickness of 1-3 microns) on the graphene layer 2 by adopting an MOCVD method, wherein the growth sources are trimethyl aluminum, trimethyl gallium and high-purity ammonia gas, the growth temperature is 700-1300 ℃, and the growth pressure is 50-400 mbar; thereby growing a GaN film on the graphene.
Furthermore, the working gas of the plasma is nitrogen, oxygen or ammonia, the processing power is 10-200W, and the processing time is 1-150 s.
Furthermore, the AlN buffer layer 3 is prepared by a two-step temperature growth method, namely, a low-temperature AlN layer with the thickness of 10-100 nm is epitaxially grown on the graphene layer 2 at a low temperature (700-900 ℃), and then a high-temperature AlN layer with the thickness of 10-300 nm is continuously epitaxially grown at a raised temperature (1000-1300 ℃).
Further, the substrate layer 1 is a sapphire, SiC, Si, GaN, AlN or diamond substrate.
Further, the method for growing the graphene layer may be a redox method, a CVD method, or a thermal decomposition SiC method, and the number of graphene layers is 1 or more and 6 or less.
The invention has the advantages that: according to the method, the epitaxial growth of the GaN film on the graphene is carried out by adopting a low-temperature and high-temperature two-step AlN buffer layer growth process, the method not only can obtain high-density AlN nucleation islands on the graphene, but also can promote the transverse combination of the high-density AlN nucleation islands, so that sufficient nucleation sites can be provided for the subsequent growth of the GaN, and the epitaxial growth of the GaN film is realized. Therefore, the epitaxial growth of the GaN film with low stress and high crystal quality can be realized on the graphene, and the development of the GaN material on the graphene and the photoelectric device thereof is promoted.

Detailed Description
Example 1:
1. 3 graphene layers 2 are grown on the SiC substrate 1 by a thermal decomposition SiC method. The SiC substrate 1 was annealed at 900 ℃ for 1 hour under an argon atmosphere at an annealing pressure of 400 mbar. Then, heating is continued to 1600 ℃ in an argon atmosphere at 800mbar for 3 hours, and the growth of 3 graphene layers 2 on the surface of the SiC substrate 1 is realized. And then, treating the surface of the graphene layer by adopting a plasma surface pretreatment technology, wherein the working gas for plasma treatment is nitrogen, the temperature is room temperature, the power is 50W, and the treatment time is 30 s. Then, an MOCVD method is adopted to sequentially prepare an AlN buffer layer 3 (with the thickness of 200nm, wherein a low-temperature AlN layer with the thickness of 40nm is firstly extended, and then a high-temperature AlN layer with the thickness of 160nm is increased in temperature and is remained) and a GaN layer 4 (with the thickness of 2 μm) on the graphene layer 2 prepared on the SiC substrate 1. The initial low-temperature growth temperature and the subsequent high-temperature growth temperature of the AlN buffer layer 3 are 780 ℃ and 1100 ℃, and the growth pressure is 100 mbar; the growth source is trimethyl aluminum and high-purity ammonia gas; the growth temperature of the GaN layer 4 is 1050 ℃, the growth pressure is 200mbar, and the growth source is trimethyl gallium and high-purity ammonia gas. The specific growth parameters of each layer of the epitaxial film are shown in Table 1.
2. Fig. 3 is a comparison graph of room temperature raman spectra of the untreated graphene and the nitrogen plasma treated graphene according to the present invention, where the D peak intensity in the raman spectrum of the nitrogen plasma treated graphene is significantly increased compared to the untreated graphene, which indicates that the nitrogen plasma treatment introduces defects on the surface of the graphene layer 2.
3. Fig. 4 shows a raman spectrum of the GaN layer 4 on the graphene layer 2 prepared in example 1. E of the GaN layer 4 can be seen2(high) a phonon frequency of 567.9cm-1. For unstressed GaN films, E2(high) the phonon frequency is 568.0cm-1When the film is subjected to in-plane tensile/compressive stress, E is caused2(high) the phonon frequency is red-shifted [ i.e. E ]2(high) phonon frequency below 568.0cm-1]Bluing (i.e. E)2(high) phonon frequency greater than 568.0cm-1]. The in-plane stress σ of the GaN layer 4 can be calculated by the formula σ ═ Δ ω/κ, where Δ ω is E of the GaN layer 42(high) phonon frequency and E of unstressed GaN film2(high) difference in phonon frequency, κ is the raman strain factor (calculated as-3.4 cm @)-1·GPa-1) The in-plane stress value of the GaN layer 4 is calculated to be about +0.03GPa (the symbol + indicates that the in-plane stress is applied); while tensile stress in GaN thin films (with a thickness of about 2 μm) prepared on SiC substrates is generally reported to be about 0.7GPa, the use of the graphene layer 2 as a substrate in the present invention can reduce the tensile stress of GaN thin films by an order of magnitude.
4. Fig. 5 shows rocking curves of (002) plane and (102) plane of X-ray diffraction (XRD) of GaN layer 4 on graphene layer 2 prepared in example 1, and the full widths at half maximum of the rocking curves of (002) plane and (102) plane were obtained as 232arcsec and 290arcsec, respectively. The half-widths of the rocking curves of the (002) plane and the (102) plane of a GaN thin film on a commonly reported foreign substrate such as a Si substrate are about 270arcsec and 520arcsec respectively; the full widths at half maximum of the rocking curves of the (002) plane and the (102) plane of the GaN film on the sapphire substrate are respectively about 201arcsec and 275arcsec, which shows that the crystal quality of the GaN film grown on the graphene is equivalent to that of the GaN film directly grown on other common foreign substrates.
5. Fig. 6 shows Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images of the GaN layer 4 on the graphene layer 2 prepared in example 1, which shows that a smooth continuous GaN film can be obtained on graphene using a low-temperature, high-temperature two-step AlN buffer layer growth process.
