Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、青、緑色発光ダイオード、青色レーザーダイオード等に使用される窒化物系化合物半導体の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
サファイア基板上に気相法で直接成長させた窒化ガリウムインジウム化合物半導体(GaIn1−xN、0<X<1、以下GaInNと記す。)、あるいはサファイア基板上に高温で気相法により窒化アルミニウムガリウム化合物半導体(Al1−xN、0≦X≦1、以下AlGaNと記す。)を成長後、該膜上に成長させたGaInNの発光特性は悪く、青、緑色発光ダイオード、青色レーザーダイオードに使用できなかった。
そのために、500℃程度の低温でAlGaNのバッファ層を形成させ、ついでそのバッファ層の形成温度よりも高温の1000℃程度でAlGaNを形成させた後、GaInNを形成している。この方法は有機金属気相成長法(以下MOCVD法と記す。)のGaInN形成工程前に、基本的に低温と高温のAlGaNの形成工程が必要であり、昇温・降温によるエネルギー消費の増加、装置への負担等の問題があった。このために、微細な凹凸を有するサファイア基板上にAlGaNのバッファ層を高温で形成させ、引き続いてAlGaN、GaInNを形成させる方法(特開2002−164295)が提案されている。この高温バッファ層を用いた方法で製造したGaInNの発光特性は良いが、更に結晶特性を向上させることが好ましい。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
高温バッファー層上の形成は三次元成長をしやすく、高密度の転位が生じやすい。AlGaNのバッファ層を高温で形成後、AlGaN、GaInNを形成させる方法において結晶特性を向上させる必要がある。
【0004】
【問題を解決するための手段】
上記の問題を解決するために、AlGaNの高温バッファ層を形成、引き続いてAlGaNの高温バッファ層上に窒化珪素化合物からなるバッファ体を形成する手段を採用した。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明は、基板上に形成した高温バッファ層上に、窒化珪素化合物バッファ体を形成し、ついでAlGaNを高温で形成し、引き続きGaInNを形成させ、転位の少ない、発光特性の良いGaInNを作成する事をはかることである。
【0006】
高温バッファ層は、800℃〜1150℃の温度でアンモニアガスとトリメチルガリウム(TMGa、以下TMGと記す。)やトリメチルアルミニウム(TMAl、以下TMAと記す。)の有機金属原料ガスを基板に単独か共供給し、厚み1から100nmのAlGaN膜を形成する。結晶性を改善するために、更にIn原料を供給してもよい。又アンモニアガスを供給する前に、短時間TMGやTMAを供給し、基板表面の揮散防止或いは窒化防止をはかってもよい。
【0007】
窒化珪素化合物バッファ体は500℃〜1100℃の温度でシラン等のSi含有化合物とアンモニアを100秒程度反応させ高温バッファ層上に形成する。低温で窒化珪素化合物バッファ体を形成すると、窒化物系化合物半導体膜の結晶特性が良い場合のバッファ体は電子顕微鏡観察ではサファイア基板を覆うように層状に形成されていず、ナノメータサイズの孔を有するポーラス状態である。反応時間が短く窒化珪素化合物がつながっていない状態、或いは反応時間が長く、窒化珪素化合物が微細な孔が少ない状態の表面上に形成された窒化物系化合物半導体膜の結晶性は好ましくない。高温バッファ層上に高温で窒化珪素化合物バッファ体を形成すると、バッファ体はテラス的か、若干ファセット島状的形成が見られる場合もある。窒化珪素化合物バッファ体は結晶状態あるいは非晶質状態のいずれでもよい。
【0008】
窒化物系化合物半導体の形成は気相法、特にMOCVD法で行うのが好ましい。AlGaNを成長する温度範囲は800℃から1150℃で、2次元的成長がしやすい900℃以上が好ましく、又1150℃以上では、AlGaNの分解が激しくなるので、1100℃以下が好ましい。GaInNの成長温度範囲は500℃から900℃で、発光特性を良くするために600℃以上が好ましく、又GaInNの分解が800℃以上では激しくなるので、800℃以下が好ましい。
【0009】
基板はサファイア基板(Al)やSi基板、ZnO基板、SiC基板、LiGaO基板、MgAl基板等を用いることができる。

【0016】

【0017】
成長後、TMG用のキャリアガス、TMI用のキャリアガス、アンモニアガスを止めて窒素ガスを12リットル/分で流しながら室温まで冷却し、MOCVD装置からウエーハを取り出した。
【0018】
このようにして形成したn型GaNとアンドープGaInNとp型GaNとアンドープGaInNとの積層構造のアンドープGaInN層とp型GaN層およびアンドープGaInN層の一部をエッチングしてn型GaNの一部を露出させ、p型GaNおよびn型GaNそれぞれの層にオーミックオーミックコンタクトがとれるITO(p電極)とTi/Au(n電極)を形成した。
【0019】
この後、サファイアの基板の裏面を研磨して100ミクロン程度まで薄くし、サファイア基板側からレーザーを照射しチップ状に分離する。このチップをpn接合形成面を上向きにしてステムに接着した後、チップのn側電極およびp側電極を各々ステム上の電極にワイヤで結線し、その後樹脂モールドして発光素子を作成した。
【0020】

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a nitride compound semiconductor used for blue, green light emitting diodes, blue laser diodes, and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Indium gallium nitride compound semiconductor (Ga x In 1-x N, 0 <X <1, hereinafter referred to as GaInN) grown directly on the sapphire substrate by the vapor phase method, or vapor phase method at a high temperature on the sapphire substrate. After growing an aluminum gallium nitride compound semiconductor (Al x G 1-x N, 0 ≦ X ≦ 1, hereinafter referred to as AlGaN), the light emission characteristics of GaInN grown on the film are poor, and blue, green light emitting diodes, It could not be used for the blue laser diode.
Therefore, an AlGaN buffer layer is formed at a low temperature of about 500 ° C., and then AlGaN is formed at about 1000 ° C., which is higher than the formation temperature of the buffer layer, and then GaInN is formed. This method basically requires a low-temperature and high-temperature AlGaN formation step before the GaInN formation step of metal organic chemical vapor deposition (hereinafter referred to as MOCVD method). There was a problem such as a burden on the device. For this purpose, a method (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-164295) has been proposed in which an AlGaN buffer layer is formed at a high temperature on a sapphire substrate having fine irregularities, and subsequently AlGaN and GaInN are formed. Although the emission characteristics of GaInN manufactured by the method using this high-temperature buffer layer are good, it is preferable to further improve the crystal characteristics.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Formation on the high-temperature buffer layer is easy to grow three-dimensionally, and high-density dislocations are likely to occur. After forming the AlGaN buffer layer at a high temperature, it is necessary to improve crystal characteristics in the method of forming AlGaN and GaInN.
[0004]
[Means for solving problems]
In order to solve the above problem, means for forming a high-temperature buffer layer of AlGaN and subsequently forming a buffer body made of a silicon nitride compound on the high-temperature buffer layer of AlGaN was adopted.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, a silicon nitride compound buffer is formed on a high-temperature buffer layer formed on a substrate, then AlGaN is formed at a high temperature, GaInN is subsequently formed, and GaInN with less dislocations and good emission characteristics is produced. To do things.
[0006]
The high-temperature buffer layer is formed of an ammonia gas and an organic metal source gas such as trimethylgallium (TMGa, hereinafter referred to as TMG) or trimethylaluminum (TMAl, hereinafter referred to as TMA) at a temperature of 800 ° C. to 1150 ° C. Then, an AlGaN film having a thickness of 1 to 100 nm is formed. In order to improve crystallinity, an In raw material may be further supplied. Also, before supplying ammonia gas, TMG or TMA may be supplied for a short time to prevent volatilization or nitridation of the substrate surface.
[0007]
The silicon nitride compound buffer body is formed on the high temperature buffer layer by reacting a Si-containing compound such as silane with ammonia at a temperature of 500 ° C. to 1100 ° C. for about 100 seconds. When a silicon nitride compound buffer body is formed at a low temperature, the buffer body in the case where the crystal characteristics of the nitride compound semiconductor film are good is not formed in layers so as to cover the sapphire substrate by electron microscope observation, and has nanometer-sized holes. It is a porous state. The crystallinity of the nitride-based compound semiconductor film formed on the surface in which the reaction time is short and the silicon nitride compound is not connected, or the reaction time is long and the silicon nitride compound has few fine holes is not preferable. When the silicon nitride compound buffer body is formed on the high temperature buffer layer at a high temperature, the buffer body may have a terrace-like or slightly faceted island-like formation. The silicon nitride compound buffer body may be in a crystalline state or an amorphous state.
[0008]
The formation of the nitride-based compound semiconductor is preferably performed by a vapor phase method, in particular, an MOCVD method. The temperature range for growing AlGaN is 800 ° C. to 1150 ° C. and is preferably 900 ° C. or higher, which facilitates two-dimensional growth, and if it is 1150 ° C. or higher, decomposition of AlGaN becomes severe, so 1100 ° C. or lower is preferable. The growth temperature range of GaInN is from 500 ° C. to 900 ° C., preferably 600 ° C. or higher for improving the light emission characteristics, and is preferably 800 ° C. or lower because decomposition of GaInN becomes severe at 800 ° C. or higher.
[0009]
As the substrate, a sapphire substrate (Al 2 O 3 ), a Si substrate, a ZnO substrate, a SiC substrate, a LiGaO 2 substrate, a MgAl 2 O 4 substrate, or the like can be used.
[0010]
[Example 1]

[0017]
After the growth, the carrier gas for TMG, the carrier gas for TMI, and the ammonia gas were stopped and cooled to room temperature while flowing nitrogen gas at 12 liters / minute, and the wafer was taken out from the MOCVD apparatus.
[0018]
The n-type GaN, the undoped GaInN, the p-type GaN, and the undoped GaInN layer, and the p-type GaN layer and a part of the undoped GaInN layer, which are formed in this way, are etched to remove a part of the n-type GaN. Exposed, ITO (p electrode) and Ti / Au (n electrode) were formed in each layer of p-type GaN and n-type GaN so that ohmic ohmic contact can be made.
[0019]
Thereafter, the back surface of the sapphire substrate is polished to a thickness of about 100 microns, and laser is irradiated from the sapphire substrate side to separate it into chips. After bonding this chip to the stem with the pn junction formation surface facing upward, the n-side electrode and p-side electrode of the chip were each connected to the electrode on the stem with a wire, and then resin molded to produce a light emitting device.
