Description
本發明係有關一種半導體結構及其製造方法,尤其是一種半導體基板超穎結構及其製造方法。 The present invention relates to a semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a semiconductor substrate metastructure and a manufacturing method thereof.
由於發光二極體(LED)具有體積小、使用壽命長以及反應快等優點,漸漸取代了以往的燈泡、日光燈管等傳統光源。然而,當應用於照明領域時,與螢光燈管相比,LED在發光效率上仍有改善空間,也因此各家廠商無不致力於發光效率的提升,以期能提供人們更好的發光元件。 Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have gradually replaced traditional light sources such as light bulbs and fluorescent tubes due to their small size, long service life, and fast response. However, when used in the field of lighting, compared with fluorescent tubes, LEDs still have room for improvement in luminous efficiency. Therefore, various manufacturers are committed to improving the luminous efficiency in order to provide people with better light-emitting components. .
一般來說,市售白光LED均以藍光LED晶粒作為激發源,而藍光LED晶粒大都是以氮化鎵系列(如GaN、GaInN等)作為主要的發光材料,並將氮化鎵沉積於具有相同晶體結構的藍寶石基板(氮化鎵與藍寶石基板皆為六方晶型的晶體結構)上,以形成藍光LED晶粒。而為了能有效提高LED的發光效率,在現有的技術中,更在藍寶石基板上進行圖案化,藉由規則排列的圖案來增加內部量子效率(Internal Quantum Efficiency)與提高光萃取效率(Extraction Efficiency),有效的增加LED的亮度。 In general, commercially available white LEDs use blue LED chips as the excitation source, while blue LED chips mostly use gallium nitride series (such as GaN, GaInN, etc.) as the main luminescent material, and gallium nitride is deposited on the On a sapphire substrate with the same crystal structure (both gallium nitride and sapphire substrate have a hexagonal crystal structure), blue LED chips are formed. In order to effectively improve the luminous efficiency of LEDs, in the prior art, patterning is performed on a sapphire substrate, and regular patterns are used to increase the internal quantum efficiency (Internal Quantum Efficiency) and improve the extraction efficiency (Extraction Efficiency) , effectively increase the brightness of the LED.
一般而言,關於磊晶之應力問體,針對發光二極體之磊晶結構在N型半導體層與發光層之間,會設置一層超晶格層(Super-lattice layer),藉由超晶格層用以降低因晶格不匹配所產生之殘餘應力,可使得磊晶結構之界面 差排缺陷的密度降低。由於超晶格層由多對(pairs)交互堆疊之兩種半導體材料層所構成。較常使用的材質例如是由氮化鋁鎵/氮化鎵(AlGaN/GaN)或者是由不同摻雜銦金屬比例的氮化銦鎵/氮化銦鎵(Inx1Ga1-x1N/Inx2Ga1-x2N)所組成。雖然超晶格層可降低應力累積以提升磊晶品質。 Generally speaking, regarding the epitaxial stress, for the epitaxial structure of the light-emitting diode, a super-lattice layer is provided between the N-type semiconductor layer and the light-emitting layer. The lattice layer is used to reduce the residual stress caused by lattice mismatch, which can make the interface of the epitaxial structure The density of dislocation defects is reduced. Since the superlattice layer is composed of two layers of semiconductor materials stacked alternately in pairs. The more commonly used materials are, for example, aluminum gallium nitride/gallium nitride (AlGaN/GaN) or indium gallium nitride/indium gallium nitride (Inx1Ga1-x1N/Inx2Ga1-x2N) with different indium metal ratios. composition. Although the superlattice layer can reduce the stress accumulation to improve the epitaxial quality.
然而,磊晶製程中所發生之缺陷問題,並非僅發生於N型半導體層與發光層之間,而是從緩衝層形成於基板上的製程開始,即開始需要注意差排缺陷,通常容易長成貫穿差排缺陷(threading dislocation densities,TDDs),例如:刃差排、螺旋差排或混合差排。 However, the defect problem occurred in the epitaxial process is not only between the N-type semiconductor layer and the light-emitting layer, but starts from the process of forming the buffer layer on the substrate, that is, it is necessary to pay attention to the misalignment defects, which are usually easy to grow. Threading dislocation densities (TDDs), such as flute, helical, or mixed dislocations.
現今對於藍寶石基板的技術手段為另設置一層半導體層於藍寶石基板上,而形成一層超穎結構,但是為了形成此一層超穎結構需另外利用回火製程,使其固化於藍寶石基板上,因而導致另外藍寶石基板殘餘熱應力,縱使解決了磊晶所造成之缺陷問題卻另外衍生了熱應力問題,為此需拉長製程時間,或輔以其他技術手段消除熱應力。如此讓基板之生產製程甚為複雜。 The current technical means for the sapphire substrate is to provide another layer of semiconductor layer on the sapphire substrate to form a layer of metastructure, but in order to form this layer of metastructure, an additional tempering process is required to cure it on the sapphire substrate, resulting in In addition, the residual thermal stress of the sapphire substrate, even if the defect problem caused by epitaxial deposition is solved, the thermal stress problem is also derived. Therefore, it is necessary to lengthen the process time, or supplemented by other technical means to eliminate the thermal stress. This makes the production process of the substrate very complicated.
基於上述之問題,本發明提供一種半導體結構及其基板製造方法,其依據不同蝕刻圖案進行蝕刻,以讓基板上形成不同單位面積之超穎結構,並讓不同單位面積之超穎結構對稱排列,藉此不僅可消除應力問題,更可讓基板上之磊晶層平坦。 Based on the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a semiconductor structure and a method for manufacturing a substrate thereof, wherein etching is performed according to different etching patterns, so that metastructures with different unit areas are formed on the substrate, and the metastructures with different unit areas are symmetrically arranged, In this way, not only the stress problem can be eliminated, but also the epitaxial layer on the substrate can be made flat.

於步驟S151中,如第七E圖所示,透過氣相沉積法,例如:化學氣象沉積法(CVD),將金屬鉻沉積於該光阻層14,而形成一第二遮罩層16,接續於步驟S152中,如第七F圖所示,在該第二遮罩層16上對應該光阻層14上的該第一蝕刻圖案142與該第二蝕刻圖案144,而對應形成一第三蝕刻圖案162與一第四蝕刻圖案164。之後,於步驟S153中,如第七G圖所示,進行乾式蝕刻,而將該第一遮罩層12上的該光阻層14與該第二遮罩層16去除,同時依據該光阻層14上的該第一蝕刻圖案142與該第二蝕刻圖案144而形成微結構,即該光阻層
14去除後,形成複數個第一蝕刻柱142A、第二蝕刻柱144A甚至是對應於該第三蝕刻圖案162與該第四蝕刻圖案164之第三蝕刻柱162A與第四蝕刻柱164A。於步驟S154中,如第七H圖所示,進一步將該第一蝕刻柱142A、該第二蝕刻柱144A、該第三蝕刻柱162A與該第四蝕刻柱164A,藉由蝕刻製程中的乾式蝕刻或是濕式蝕刻去除掉,以露出該基板30並對應將第一遮罩層12蝕刻出該第一微結構122以及該第二微結構124。於步驟S155中,如第七I圖所示,依據該第一微結構122以及該第二微結構124進行蝕刻,因而產生對應於第一磊晶區域E1之第一超穎結構102,同時產生對應於第二磊晶區域E2之第二超穎結構104。

如第八A圖所示,以上實施例為該光阻層14屬於正光阻,或該光阻層14上設置該第二遮罩層16作為舉例,以增加抗蝕刻能力。除此之外,本發明之另一實施例更可為去除該第二遮罩層16,使該光阻層14轉為負光阻之揭示,即步驟S152中,去除該第二遮罩層16,而讓該光阻層14轉換成負光阻,如第八B圖所示。
As shown in FIG. 8A, in the above embodiment, the
請參閱第九A圖,其為本發明之另一實施例之製造基板之流程圖。其中第六A圖與第九A圖之差異在於第九A圖省略形成該第一遮罩層12之步驟,因此,本發明之半導體基板結構之製造方法,其步驟包含:步驟S210:提供基材;步驟S230:形成光阻層於氧化層上;步驟S240:定義第一蝕刻圖案與第二蝕刻圖案於光阻層;以及步驟S250:依據光阻層以及第一蝕刻圖案與第二蝕刻圖案之排列進行蝕刻製程,以形成基板。
Please refer to FIG. 9A, which is a flowchart of manufacturing a substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the sixth A and the ninth A is that the ninth A omits the step of forming the
步驟S210、步驟S230與步驟S240相當於上述步驟S110、步驟S130與步驟S140,因此不再贅述,其對應之圖式第十A圖至第十C圖之圖式不
再贅述。於步驟S250中,請進一步參閱第九B圖以及對應第十D圖至第十G圖,其步驟如下:步驟S251:形成第二遮罩層於光阻層上;步驟S252:依據第一蝕刻圖案與第二蝕刻圖案定義對應之第三蝕刻圖案與第四蝕刻圖案於第二遮罩層上;步驟S253:依據第二遮罩層、光阻層及其第一蝕刻圖案與第二蝕刻圖案及對應之第三蝕刻圖案與第四蝕刻圖案進行乾式蝕刻,以形成基板並使基板之表面形成第一超穎結構與第二超穎結構。由於步驟S251至步驟S253相當於上述步驟S151至步驟S155,因此不再贅述。此外,本實施例中,由於該第二遮罩層16形成於該光阻層14之上,因而讓該光阻層14最後的該第一蝕刻柱142A與該第二蝕刻柱144A的所在位置與該第一遮罩層12之該第一微結構122與該第二微結構124所在位置錯位,或反轉,因而形成為負光阻。
Step S210 , step S230 and step S240 are equivalent to the above-mentioned steps S110 , step S130 and step S140 , so they will not be described again, and the corresponding diagrams in the tenth A to the tenth C diagram are not the same.
Repeat. In step S250, please further refer to the ninth B and the corresponding tenth D to ten G, the steps are as follows: step S251: forming a second mask layer on the photoresist layer; step S252: according to the first etching The pattern and the second etching pattern define the third etching pattern and the fourth etching pattern on the second mask layer; Step S253 : according to the second mask layer, the photoresist layer and the first etching pattern and the second etching pattern and the corresponding third etching pattern and the fourth etching pattern are dry-etched to form a substrate and form the first meta-structure and the second meta-structure on the surface of the substrate. Since steps S251 to S253 are equivalent to the above-mentioned steps S151 to S155, they will not be repeated here. In addition, in this embodiment, since the
請參閱第十一圖,其為本發明之另一實施例之製造基板之流程圖。其中第九A圖至第九B圖與第十一圖之差異在於第十一圖簡化步驟S250,也就是第十一圖省略了第二遮罩層之步驟。對應如圖第十二A圖至第十二D圖所示,其步驟如下:步驟S310:提供基材;步驟S330:形成光阻層於基材上;步驟S340:定義第一蝕刻圖案與第二蝕刻圖案於光阻層;以及步驟S350:依據光阻層及其第一蝕刻圖案與第二蝕刻圖案進行蝕刻,使基板之表面依據第一蝕刻圖案與第二蝕刻圖案形成第一超穎結構與第二超穎結構。 Please refer to FIG. 11, which is a flow chart of manufacturing a substrate according to another embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the ninth diagrams A to ninth B and the eleventh diagram is that the eleventh diagram simplifies the step S250, that is, the eleventh diagram omits the step of the second mask layer. Corresponding to the twelfth A to the twelfth D, the steps are as follows: step S310: providing a substrate; step S330: forming a photoresist layer on the substrate; step S340: defining the first etching pattern and the first etching pattern Two etching patterns are formed on the photoresist layer; and step S350 : performing etching according to the photoresist layer and its first etching pattern and second etching pattern, so that the surface of the substrate forms a first metastructure according to the first etching pattern and the second etching pattern with the second metastructure.
步驟S310、步驟S330與步驟S340相當於上述步驟S210、步驟S230與步驟S240,因此不再贅述。於步驟S350中,直接以該光阻層14直接蝕

Step S310 , step S330 and step S340 are equivalent to the above-mentioned step S210 , step S230 and step S240 , and thus will not be described again. In step S350, the
如此,如本發明提供較佳之基板結構,用於氮化鎵磊晶層,並藉由基板10A上之該第一超穎結構102以及該第二超穎結構104形成一漸變式結構,例如:自中央向外縮減間隔,即第一間隔D1至第三間隔D3遞減,或者遞增,藉此氮化鎵磊晶層於第一磊晶區域E1所產生之缺陷會因磊晶應力而逐漸向外擠壓至第二磊晶區域E2,使第一磊晶區域E1之磊晶層平坦化。該漸變式結構更可為該第一超穎結構102以及該第二超穎結構104之面積大小自第一超穎結構102向第二超穎結構104而向外不斷改變面積或排列間隔。如第十三A圖所示,基板10A如以上所述之實施例,該第一超穎結構102向外至該第二超穎結構104之排列間隔自第一間隔D1遞減至第三間隔D3,另外,如第十三B圖所示,本發明亦可針對該第一超穎結構102向外至該第二超穎結構104之單位面積自一第一單位面積A1遞減至一第二單位面積A2以及後再遞減至一第三單位面積A3,除了排列間隔遞減或面積遞減之外,更可為排列間隔遞增或面積遞增。

綜上所述,本發明之半導體基板結構及其製造方法,其提供蝕刻圖案呈現對稱且漸變式結構之排列,因而讓基材經蝕刻製程後,在其上表面形成對應之第一超穎結構與第二超穎結構,並基於第二超穎結構在第一磊晶區域外,及第一超穎結構在第一磊晶區域內,因而讓磊晶層可在磊晶完成後,向外推擠缺陷至邊緣,因而讓第一磊晶區域內的磊晶層為平坦化,並在第一磊晶區域外清楚表示切割圖案。 To sum up, the semiconductor substrate structure and the manufacturing method thereof of the present invention provide a symmetrical and gradient structure arrangement of the etching pattern, so that the corresponding first metastructure is formed on the upper surface of the substrate after the etching process. and the second metastructure, and based on the fact that the second metastructure is outside the first epitaxial region, and the first metastructure is in the first epitaxial region, so that the epitaxial layer can be moved outward after the epitaxial is completed.
