 例えば、III-V族化合物半導体層としてGaAs層(ヤング率E2:80GPa)を用いる場合は、下地基板のヤング率E1は、80GPa以上であることが好ましく、120GPa以上であることがさらに好ましい。 For example, when a GaAs layer (Young's modulus E2: 80 GPa) is used as the III-V group compound semiconductor layer, the Young's modulus E1 of the base substrate is preferably 80 GPa or more, and more preferably 120 GPa or more.
 例えば、III-V族化合物半導体層としてGaN層(ヤング率E2:200GPa)を用いる場合は、下地基板のヤング率E1は、200GPa以上であることが好ましく、300GPa以上であることがさらに好ましい。 For example, when a GaN layer (Young's modulus E2: 200 GPa) is used as the III-V group compound semiconductor layer, the Young's modulus E1 of the base substrate is preferably 200 GPa or more, and more preferably 300 GPa or more.
 下地基板2に含まれる酸化物系焼結体としては、Al(アルミナ)、MgO(マグネシア)、SiO(シリカ)、希土類酸化物(Y、Sc、CeO等)
、ZrO、MgAlO(スピネル)を挙げることができる。なお、これらの酸化物系焼結体は、単独で用いてもよいが、複数の酸化物系焼結体を組み合わせた、複合酸化物系焼結体として用いてもよい。複合酸化物系焼結体としては、ムライト、AlON、サイアロン、YSiO等を挙げることができる。なお、ムライトは酸化アルミニウム(アルミナ)と酸化ケイ素(シリカ)の化合物であるが、本発明においては、アルミナとシリカを3:2の割合で混合して焼結して得られたムライト(3Al・2SiO)を好ましく使用することができる。
Examples of the oxide-based sintered body included in the base substrate 2 include Al 2 O 3 (alumina), MgO (magnesia), SiO 2 (silica), rare earth oxides (Y 2 O 3 , Sc 2 O 3 , CeO 2). etc)
, ZrO 2 , Mg 2 AlO 4 (spinel). In addition, although these oxide type sintered compacts may be used independently, you may use as a complex oxide type sintered compact combining several oxide type sintered compacts. Examples of the complex oxide-based sintered body include mullite, AlON, sialon, Y 2 SiO 5 and the like. In addition, although mullite is a compound of aluminum oxide (alumina) and silicon oxide (silica), in the present invention, mullite (3Al 2) obtained by mixing and sintering alumina and silica in a ratio of 3: 2. O 3 · 2SiO 2 ) can be preferably used.
 酸化物系焼結体は、Al、MgO、SiO、希土類酸化物、ZrO及びMgAlOからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種類を含むことが好ましい。中でも、酸化物系焼結体として、Al、MgO、SiO及びムライトからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種類を用いると、より容易に、GaAsやGaNの平均線熱膨張係数に近い平均線熱膨張係数を有する下地基板を得ることができる。 The oxide-based sintered body preferably includes at least one selected from the group consisting of Al 2 O 3 , MgO, SiO 2 , rare earth oxide, ZrO 2 and Mg 2 AlO 4 . In particular, when at least one selected from the group consisting of Al 2 O 3 , MgO, SiO 2 and mullite is used as the oxide-based sintered body, it is more easily close to the average linear thermal expansion coefficient of GaAs or GaN. A base substrate having an average linear thermal expansion coefficient can be obtained.
 下地基板2は、酸化物系焼結体に加えて、非酸化物系焼結体を含むことができる。これによると、よりIII-V族化合物半導体層の平均線熱膨張係数に近い平均線熱膨張係数の下地基板を得ることができる。具体的な非酸化物系焼結体としては、AlN、SiC、Si、GaN等を挙げることができる。なお、これらの非酸化物系焼結体も、酸化物系焼結体の場合と同様に、複数の非酸化物系焼結体を組み合わせて用いてもよい。 The base substrate 2 can include a non-oxide-based sintered body in addition to the oxide-based sintered body. According to this, a base substrate having an average linear thermal expansion coefficient closer to the average linear thermal expansion coefficient of the III-V group compound semiconductor layer can be obtained. Specific examples of the non-oxide-based sintered body include AlN, SiC, Si 3 N 4 , and GaN. Note that these non-oxide-based sintered bodies may be used in combination with a plurality of non-oxide-based sintered bodies as in the case of the oxide-based sintered body.
 下地基板2は、主表面の面粗さRaが0.1nm~3.0nmであることが好ましい。これにより、下地基板とIII-V族化合物半導体層との接着性が向上する。接着性向上の観点から、下地基板の主表面は可能な限り平滑であることが好ましく、上記Raは0.1nm~2.0nmであることがより好ましく、0.1nm~1.0nmであることが更に好ましい。なお、ここで主表面とは、表面のうち最も面積の大きい主要な面をいう。 The base substrate 2 preferably has a surface roughness Ra of the main surface of 0.1 nm to 3.0 nm. This improves the adhesion between the base substrate and the III-V compound semiconductor layer. From the viewpoint of improving adhesiveness, the main surface of the base substrate is preferably as smooth as possible, and Ra is more preferably 0.1 nm to 2.0 nm, and more preferably 0.1 nm to 1.0 nm. Is more preferable. Here, the main surface means a main surface having the largest area among the surfaces.
 下地基板2の厚さは特に限定されないが、III-V族化合物半導体をエピタキシャル成長させる際において充分な強度を持っていることが望ましい。下地基板2の厚さは、化合物半導体層の厚さよりも大きいと、III-V族化合物半導体エピタキシャル成長時の加熱に伴う反りの発生を効果的に抑制することができる。下地基板2の厚さは、厚い方が好ましいが、厚すぎると、III-V族化合物半導体をエピタキシャル成長させる際において適用が困難になる可能性がある。上記の観点から下地基板の厚さは、400μm~700μmであることが好ましい。 The thickness of the underlying substrate 2 is not particularly limited, but it is desirable that it has sufficient strength when epitaxially growing a III-V compound semiconductor. When the thickness of the base substrate 2 is larger than the thickness of the compound semiconductor layer, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of warp accompanying heating during III-V compound semiconductor epitaxial growth. The base substrate 2 is preferably thick, but if it is too thick, it may be difficult to apply when epitaxially growing a group III-V compound semiconductor. From the above viewpoint, the thickness of the base substrate is preferably 400 μm to 700 μm.
 [下地基板の製造方法]
 下地基板2は、通常の焼結体の製造方法を用いて製造できる。したがって、製造に際して特別な設備などを設ける必要がなく、また、従来の製造方法の知識を活用して製造することができるため、コストの上昇を招くことなく、容易に、III-V族化合物半導体層に近い平均線熱膨張係数を有する下地基板を製造することができる。下地基板2の製造方法の一例について、以下に説明する。
[Manufacturing method of base substrate]
The base substrate 2 can be manufactured using a normal method for manufacturing a sintered body. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide special equipment for manufacturing, and since it can be manufactured utilizing the knowledge of the conventional manufacturing method, the III-V compound semiconductor can be easily manufactured without increasing the cost. A base substrate having an average linear thermal expansion coefficient close to that of the layer can be produced. An example of the manufacturing method of the base substrate 2 will be described below.
 まず粉末準備工程を実施する。これは具体的には、上述した酸化物系焼結体を含む下地基板を形成する材料としての粉末を準備する工程である。該粉末準備工程では、III-V族化合物半導体層の平均線熱膨張係数に近い平均線熱膨張係数を有する下地基板を得ることができるように、原料粉末の種類及び混合比率を適宜選択する。 First, the powder preparation process is performed. Specifically, this is a step of preparing a powder as a material for forming the base substrate including the oxide-based sintered body described above. In the powder preparation step, the type and mixing ratio of the raw material powder are appropriately selected so that a base substrate having an average linear thermal expansion coefficient close to the average linear thermal expansion coefficient of the III-V compound semiconductor layer can be obtained.
 次に成形工程を実施する。これは具体的には、プレス成形又はCIP(Cold Isostatic Pressing;冷間等方圧加工法)により成形する。たとえば粉末準備工程で準備した混合粉末を、まずプレス成形により予備成形した後、CIPを行ない、成形体を得ることが好ましい。ただしここではプレス成形とCIPとのいずれか一方のみを行なってもよいし、たとえばプレス成形を行なった後にCIPを行なうなど、両方を行なってもよい。 Next, the molding process is performed. Specifically, this is formed by press molding or CIP (Cold Isostatic Pressing). For example, it is preferable that the mixed powder prepared in the powder preparation step is first preformed by press molding, and then CIP is performed to obtain a compact. However, only one of press molding and CIP may be performed here, or both CIP may be performed after press molding, for example.
 ここでプレス成形においてはたとえば10MPa以上300MPa以下、特に20MPaの圧力を用いることが好ましく、CIPにおいてはたとえば160MPa以上250MPa以下、特に180MPa以上230MPa以下の圧力を用いることが好ましい。 Here, in press molding, for example, a pressure of 10 MPa to 300 MPa, particularly 20 MPa is preferably used, and in CIP, for example, a pressure of 160 MPa to 250 MPa, particularly 180 MPa to 230 MPa is preferably used.
 次に焼結工程を実施する。焼結工程として具体的には、大気雰囲気下に成形体を載置して焼結する大気焼結法や、たとえばアルゴン雰囲気下に成形体を載置して加圧焼結するHIP(Hot Isostatic Pressing;熱間等方加圧)を用いることが好ましい。あるいは上記方法の代わりにホットプレス法を用いてもよい。大気焼結法とHIPなどとのいずれかのみを行なってもよいし、たとえば大気焼結法を行なった後にHIPを行なうなど、複数を行なってもよい。さらにHIP後に再度熱処理を行なってもよい。 Next, the sintering process is performed. Specifically, the sintering process includes an atmospheric sintering method in which a molded body is placed and sintered in an air atmosphere, or a HIP (Hot Isostatic) in which a molded body is placed in an argon atmosphere and pressure-sintered. (Pressing; hot isostatic pressing) is preferably used. Alternatively, a hot press method may be used instead of the above method. Only one of the atmospheric sintering method and HIP may be performed, or a plurality of operations may be performed, for example, HIP is performed after the atmospheric sintering method is performed. Further, heat treatment may be performed again after HIP.
 大気焼結法においては具体的には、成形体を大気雰囲気中に載置し、1400℃以上1700℃以下に加熱し、1時間以上3時間以下保持することが好ましい。このようにすれば、密度が95%以上の焼結体を形成することができる。またHIPにおいては、上記焼結体を(あるいはホットプレスによる焼結を行なっていない成形体を)アルゴン雰囲気中に載置し、150MPa以上250MPa以下の圧力を加えながら1500℃以上1800℃以下に加熱し、1時間以上3時間以下保持することにより焼結する。上述した圧力及び温度により焼結を行なえば、形成される焼結体の密度を、最終的に形成される基板に要求される条件を満たすに足りる密度とすることができる。これは加圧により焼結体の組成変形が起こるとともに、拡散機構により当該焼結体内部の空孔が外部へ除去されるためである。 Specifically, in the air sintering method, it is preferable that the molded body is placed in an air atmosphere, heated to 1400 ° C. or higher and 1700 ° C. or lower and held for 1 hour or longer and 3 hours or shorter. In this way, a sintered body having a density of 95% or more can be formed. In HIP, the above sintered body (or a molded body that has not been sintered by hot pressing) is placed in an argon atmosphere and heated to 1500 ° C. or higher and 1800 ° C. or lower while applying a pressure of 150 MPa or higher and 250 MPa or lower. And sintering by holding for 1 hour or more and 3 hours or less. If the sintering is performed with the pressure and temperature described above, the density of the formed sintered body can be set to a density sufficient to satisfy the conditions required for the finally formed substrate. This is because compositional deformation of the sintered body occurs due to pressurization, and voids inside the sintered body are removed to the outside by the diffusion mechanism.
 以上により焼結がなされた焼結体に対して、加工工程を行う。これは具体的には、まず上記焼結体を所望の(下地基板2の)厚みとなるようにスライス加工により切断(切削加工)する。これにより、所望の厚みを有する下地基板2の下地が完成する。なおここで所望の厚みとは、最終的に形成したい下地基板2の厚みと、後工程における下地基板2の主表面の研磨しろ等を考慮した上で決定することが好ましい。 A processing step is performed on the sintered body sintered as described above. Specifically, first, the sintered body is cut (cut) by slicing so as to have a desired thickness (of the base substrate 2). Thereby, the foundation | substrate of the base substrate 2 which has desired thickness is completed. Here, the desired thickness is preferably determined in consideration of the thickness of the base substrate 2 to be finally formed, the allowance for polishing the main surface of the base substrate 2 in a later step, and the like.
 次に、上記下地基板2の下地の主表面を研磨する。具体的には、上述したように最終的に形成される下地基板2の主表面を、平均粗さRaが所望の値となるように研磨する工程である。 Next, the base main surface of the base substrate 2 is polished. Specifically, this is a step of polishing the main surface of the base substrate 2 finally formed as described above so that the average roughness Ra becomes a desired value.
 下地基板2の主表面を、優れた平坦度を達成するために研磨する場合は、粗研磨と通常研磨と、ダイヤ砥粒を用いた研磨との3段階の研磨を順に行なうことが好ましい。具体的には、第1段階である粗研磨及び第2段階である通常研磨において、研磨機を用いて主表面を鏡面加工する。ここで粗研磨と通常研磨とでは、研磨に用いる砥粒の番手が異なる。具体的には、粗研磨においては砥粒の番手が#800~#2000であるGC砥石を、通常研磨においては砥粒の粒径が3~5μmであるダイヤモンド砥石を用いることが好ましい。 When the main surface of the base substrate 2 is polished in order to achieve excellent flatness, it is preferable to sequentially perform three-stage polishing including rough polishing, normal polishing, and polishing using diamond abrasive grains. Specifically, in the first stage of rough polishing and the second stage of normal polishing, the main surface is mirror-finished using a polishing machine. Here, the count of abrasive grains used for polishing differs between rough polishing and normal polishing. Specifically, it is preferable to use a GC grindstone with an abrasive grain number of # 800 to # 2000 for rough polishing, and a diamond grindstone with an abrasive grain diameter of 3 to 5 μm for normal polishing.
 次に第3段階である仕上げ加工としての研磨は、上述したようにダイヤ砥粒を用いて行うことが好ましい。ダイヤ砥粒は硬度が非常に高く、かつ砥粒の平均粒径が0.5μm~1.0μm程度と非常に小さいことから、高精度な鏡面加工用の砥粒として用いることに適している。当該砥粒を用いて例えば10分間研磨加工を行なう。このようにすれば、上述した主表面の平均粗さRaが0.1nm以上3.0nm以下である平坦性の高い主表面を実現することができる。 Next, the polishing as the finishing process, which is the third stage, is preferably performed using diamond abrasive grains as described above. Diamond abrasive grains are extremely high in hardness, and the average grain diameter of the abrasive grains is as small as about 0.5 μm to 1.0 μm, so that they are suitable for use as abrasive grains for high-precision mirror finishing. For example, polishing is performed for 10 minutes using the abrasive grains. By doing so, it is possible to realize a main surface with high flatness, in which the above-described average roughness Ra of the main surface is not less than 0.1 nm and not more than 3.0 nm.

[Production Example 1]
(Preparation of III-V compound semiconductor layer)
A GaAs wafer having a diameter of 100 mm and a thickness of 250 μm was prepared as a III-V group compound semiconductor layer.
 (下地基板の作製)
