Description
本发明涉及半导体技术领域,具体涉及一种衬底及其制备方法。
Ⅲ-Ⅴ族化合物半导体如GaAs、InP、GaN等相对于Ge、Si等传统的半导体而言,具有电子迁移率高、禁带宽度大等优点,在微波及光电器件领域有广泛的应用。目前,生长Ⅲ-Ⅴ族化合物半导体常用的衬底有蓝宝石衬底、硅衬底和碳化硅衬底等。但上述衬底在生长Ⅲ-Ⅴ族化合物半导体(如GaN)时存在如晶格失配和热应力失配等问题,会在生长出的GaN外延层中产生翘曲甚至龟裂,同时会导致GaN外延层的穿透位错密度高,影响材料及器件的性能,给后续的器件加工工艺造成困难,提高生产成本。已知的现有技术中通过对衬底进行光刻,制作图形化,或者在外延层中间加入缓冲层来解决相关问题。
在实现本发明过程中,发明人发现现有技术中至少存在如下问题:
在衬底上低成本生长高质量的III-Ⅴ族化合物半导体结构是较困难的,
1)对衬底进行光刻或刻蚀,制作图形化的衬底,但其工艺复杂,生产成本高,还可能对后续生长的外延层造成沾污。
2)在外延层中间加入缓冲层,如多层AlGaN等,可以积聚应力,平衡外延层中由衬底施加的热张应力,实现衬底上外延层的翘曲控制。但是此结构依然存在很高的穿透位错密度,应力释放变快,限制外延层的生长厚度。
发明内容

在本实施例步骤S3中,可先将反应容器升温至随后应用本发明的衬底的半导体器件的外延层12的温度(例如Ⅲ-Ⅴ族化合物AlN的生长温度500℃-1400℃),再向反应容器中通入腐蚀性气体,如此,可在基础衬底10的裸露表面上形成凹孔101后,即在反应容器中生长外延层12。
上述制备方法中,所述反应容器较佳地为有机金属化学气相沉积反应器,当然,在其他实施例中,根据工艺的需要,该反应容器还可为原子沉积反应器或化学束外延反应器等。所述衬底20为硅衬底,当然,在其他实施例中,该衬底20还可为碳化硅衬底和氮化镓衬底;所述金属源为铝源,当然,在其他实施例中,该金属源还可为镁、铁、铟等其他金属源。所述腐蚀性气体为NH3,当然,在其他实施例中,该腐蚀性气体还可为HCl或H2或Cl2。
请参见图2,图2为应用本发明一实施例所示的衬底的半导体器件的TEM表征图,基础衬底30为硅,部分基础衬底30上覆盖有薄膜层(未标号),在部分未被薄膜层覆盖的硅衬底30的裸露表面(未标号)上形成有许多凹孔300,然后再在上面形成了外延层31(AlN)。基础衬底30的部分裸露表面上形成凹孔300可以释放生长GaN外延层时由于基础衬底30和GaN外延层之间的晶格失配和热失配所产生的应力,所以避免了生长出的GaN外延层翘曲度较高甚至产生裂纹。
本发明的该实施例具有的有益效果:该衬底的制备方法简单、高效、成本低,无需通过复杂的刻蚀工艺,就可以在衬底上形成凹孔,且可以与后续的外延生长工艺在同一反应容器连续进行,同时还能释放当在衬底上生长外延层时由因晶格失配和热应力失配所产生的应力。
本发明另一实施例中还公开了一种扩大凹孔101的直径的方法。基础衬底10为硅时,在【S3、向反应容器中通入腐蚀性气体以在至少部分所述裸露表面上形成凹孔101】后,通入Ga源或在薄膜层11外延生长含Ga的化合物(例如GaN、AlGaN、AlINGaN等),通过Ga原子与硅衬底之间的回熔反应,对凹孔
101进行进一步的刻蚀,从而增加凹孔101的直径。
本发明的该实施例具有的有益效果:通过Ga和硅的回熔反应,可扩大凹孔101的直径。
以上所述实施例的各技术特征可以进行任意的组合,为使描述简洁,未对上述实施例中的各个技术特征所有可能的组合都进行描述,当然,只要这些技术特征的组合不存在矛盾,都应当认为是本说明书记载的范围。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本发明的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对发明专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本发明的保护范围。
