Description
本發明大體上與一種供磊晶成長的複合基板及其製作方法有關,更具體言之,其係關於一種具有供磊晶成長的抗應力層的複合基板及其製作方法。The present invention is generally related to a composite substrate for epitaxial growth and its manufacturing method, more specifically, it relates to a composite substrate with an anti-stress layer for epitaxial growth and its manufacturing method.
近幾年氮化鎵(GaN)材料在業界受到多方面的關注及應用,如未來5G市場、電動車、雷達衛星通訊、無線電傳輸以及醫療技術。因為氮化鎵材料具有高能帶、高擊穿電場、高導熱率、高飽和電子速度以及元件體積小等特性,這些特性使得氮化鎵在高功率及高速電晶體管的應用上被視為是相當理想的材料,尤其是在高電子移動率晶體電晶體(high electron mobility transistor, HEMT)等高頻元件或是發光二極體(LED)元件的應用上相當廣泛。In recent years, gallium nitride (GaN) materials have received attention and applications in various fields in the industry, such as the future 5G market, electric vehicles, radar satellite communications, radio transmission, and medical technology. Because gallium nitride materials have the characteristics of high energy band, high breakdown electric field, high thermal conductivity, high saturation electron velocity and small device volume, these characteristics make gallium nitride considered to be quite suitable for high-power and high-speed transistor applications. Ideal materials are widely used in high-frequency components such as high electron mobility transistors (high electron mobility transistors, HEMTs) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
矽基板在價格成本上有其競爭優勢,因此將氮化鎵生長在矽基板上的電路設計方案正在蓬勃地研究與發展。然而,氮化鎵與矽基板在先天上的晶格常數與熱膨脹係數等性質差異過大,如此將氮化鎵直接成長在矽基板上的異質磊晶方式會造成過大的晶格失配(約17%)及熱膨脹係數失配(約54%),成長期間會產生很大的拉應力,形成高密度的螺旋錯位,進而使晶圓翹曲甚至產生裂紋,如此在電性方面會導致所形成的氮化鎵元件漏電流增加並降低載子遷移率與運作效率。Silicon substrate has its competitive advantage in price and cost, so the circuit design scheme of growing gallium nitride on silicon substrate is being vigorously researched and developed. However, the inborn lattice constant and thermal expansion coefficient of gallium nitride and silicon substrate are too different, so the heteroepitaxy method of growing gallium nitride directly on the silicon substrate will cause too large lattice mismatch (about 17 %) and thermal expansion coefficient mismatch (about 54%), a large tensile stress will be generated during the growth period, forming a high-density spiral dislocation, which will cause the wafer to warp or even crack, which will lead to the formation of GaN device leakage increases and reduces carrier mobility and operating efficiency.
有鑑於上述氮化鎵磊晶在矽基板上成長的習知問題,本發明提出了使用具有高強度與較高晶格匹配度的抗應力層的複合基板來供氮化鎵磊晶成長,並且在磊晶成長表面形成規律排列的梯形微圖案來在磊晶過程中達到將缺陷彎曲的效果,以獲得低翹曲度、低應力以及高磊晶品質的氮化鎵層結構。In view of the above known problems of GaN epitaxy growth on silicon substrates, the present invention proposes to use a composite substrate with a high-strength and high-lattice-matched anti-stress layer for GaN epitaxy growth, and Regularly arranged trapezoidal micropatterns are formed on the epitaxy growth surface to achieve the effect of bending defects during the epitaxy process, so as to obtain a GaN layer structure with low warpage, low stress and high epitaxy quality.

首先請參照第1圖,其為根據本發明較佳實施例中將一藍寶石基板與一矽基板貼合的截面示意圖。在第1圖的步驟中,首先提供一支撐基板100作為整體結構的支撐基礎並提供較佳的散熱性質。在此實施例中,支撐基板100可為一矽基板或矽晶圓,例如具有<100>或<111>晶格方向的結晶矽。在其他實施例中,支撐基板100也可為碳化矽或是矽鍺等其他散熱性佳的基板。另一方面,提供一藍寶石(sapphire)基板或晶圓102,來做為後續磊晶成長的基礎層與抗應力層。藍寶石基板的強度高(楊氏係數大於350 Gpa),且與矽質的支撐基板100的晶格不匹配度較低(小於13%,使用矽質基板或晶圓的晶格不匹配度為16%),故可做為一優良的抗應力層。藍寶石基板可具有任何晶面,例如晶格方向為<100>的晶面,來供磊晶成長。First, please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic cross-sectional view of laminating a sapphire substrate and a silicon substrate according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the steps in FIG. 1 , a supporting
在第1圖的步驟中,支撐基板100會與藍寶石基板102進行貼合。在進行貼合步驟之前,先對支撐基板100與藍寶石基板102進行SC1與SC2濕式化學清洗製程,其可包含使用氨水與雙氧水的溶液以及鹽酸與雙氧水的溶液對基板的表面進行清洗,去除表面的微粒子與金屬雜質。在清洗步驟後,將支撐基板100與藍寶石基板102對準並於真空環境下進行緊密鍵合。鍵合後的基板之後會在含氧的環境下進行高溫熱處理,例如在950℃~1250℃的高溫含氧環境下持續2~5個小時的熱退火處理。如此,使得矽質的支撐基板100與藍寶石基板102之間產生鍵合,其鍵合能量大於0.2 mJ/cm
2,形成緊密鍵合的複合基板或複合晶圓。
In the step shown in FIG. 1 , the
在其他實施例中,如第2圖所示,支撐基板100在與藍寶石基板102鍵合之前可先進行一高溫氧化處理,致使在支撐基板100的表面形成一氧化矽層104,其厚度介於1~3μm,膜厚均勻度小於3%。此氧化矽層104的存在將有助於提升後續支撐基板100與藍寶石基板102之間的鍵合力,亦可透過控制此氧化矽層104的厚度來調整後續鍵合完成的複合基板的整體翹曲度。此實施例同樣是將所形成的氧化矽層104與藍寶石基板102鍵合後進行上述的高溫熱處理,完成支撐基板100與藍寶石基板102之間的鍵合。In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, before the supporting
此外,在其他實施例中,如第3圖所示,亦可在支撐基板100與藍寶石基板鍵合成複合晶圓之後對支撐基板100的背面進行高溫氧化處理,如此形成另一氧化矽層105來做為複合基板的應力補償層。同樣可以透過控制此背面的氧化矽層105的厚度來調整複合基板的翹曲度。In addition, in other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, after the
如前文所述,由於氮化鎵磊晶層與矽基板有很大的晶格失配與熱膨脹係數失配,故其成長期間會產生很大的拉應力,造成晶圓翹曲。透過在氮化鎵磊晶層與矽基板設置一中介的藍寶石層/基板,由於該藍寶石層與氮化鎵磊晶層之間具有較低的晶格失配與熱膨脹係數失配,故可以達到一緩衝層的作用,降低磊晶所產生的應力。再者,由於藍寶石層具有較高的強度與抗應變特性,其可抑制剩餘的應力對基板造成翹曲的影響。As mentioned above, due to the large lattice mismatch and thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between the GaN epitaxial layer and the silicon substrate, a large tensile stress will be generated during its growth, causing the wafer to warp. By setting an intermediary sapphire layer/substrate between the GaN epitaxial layer and the silicon substrate, since the sapphire layer and the GaN epitaxial layer have low lattice mismatch and thermal expansion coefficient mismatch, it can achieve The function of a buffer layer reduces the stress generated by epitaxy. Furthermore, since the sapphire layer has higher strength and strain resistance, it can suppress the influence of remaining stress on the substrate warpage.
接下來請參照第4圖,其為根據本發明另一實施例中將兩矽基板上的抗應力層對接形成一共同的抗應力層的截面示意圖。在本發明實施例中,可以將兩組複合基板對接方式來形成抗應力層與磊晶基礎層。如第4圖所示,提供兩組如第3圖所示支撐基板與藍寶石基板鍵合後的複合基板,其分別包含第一基板100a與第一藍寶石基板(或晶圓)102a以及第二基板100b與第二藍寶石基板(或晶圓)102b,其中第一藍寶石基板102a與第二藍寶石基板102b在鍵合過後皆已進行過平坦化製程,如一化學機械平坦化(CMP)製程,使厚度減薄至2~10μm。而在此實施例中,第一基板100a與第二基板100b較佳為具有<111>晶格方向的矽基板或晶圓。Next, please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic cross-sectional view of connecting the anti-stress layers on two silicon substrates to form a common anti-stress layer according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the anti-stress layer and the epitaxial base layer can be formed by abutting two sets of composite substrates. As shown in Figure 4, two sets of composite substrates are provided after bonding the supporting substrate and the sapphire substrate as shown in Figure 3, which respectively include the
接著,與第1圖之步驟相同,在進行貼合步驟之前,先對兩組複合基板進行SC1與SC2濕式化學清洗製程,去除表面的微粒子與金屬雜質。在清洗步驟後,將第一藍寶石基板102a與第二藍寶石基板102b對準並於真空環境下進行緊密貼合。貼合後的基板之後會在含氧的環境下進行高溫熱處理,例如在950℃~1250℃的高溫含氧環境下持續2~5個小時的熱退火處理。如此,使得兩個藍寶石基板之間產生化學鍵結,其鍵合能量大於0.2 mJ/cm
2,形成緊密鍵合的複合基板或複合晶圓。在此實施例中,鍵合後的第一藍寶石基板102a與第二藍寶石基板102b會共同作為一抗應力層,而其中一基板(如第一基板100a)作為支撐基板。另一基板(如第二基板100b)則會以平坦化製程減薄,使其厚度介於2~300μm。同時,第二基板100b的表面為<111>晶格方向,可作為磊晶基礎層來供GaN-HEMT的磊晶成長。
Next, the same as the steps in Figure 1, before the bonding step, the SC1 and SC2 wet chemical cleaning processes are performed on the two sets of composite substrates to remove the fine particles and metal impurities on the surface. After the cleaning step, the
此實施例的優點在於可以使用含有矽基板/藍寶石基板的複合基板並透過很簡單的鍵合製程來製作出支撐基板/抗應力層/磊晶基礎層的三層結構,如第5圖所示,最下層的第一基板100a作為支撐基板,位於中間鍵合後的第一藍寶石基板102a與第二藍寶石基板102b共同作為抗應力層,最上方薄化後的第二基板100b作為磊晶基礎層。The advantage of this embodiment is that a composite substrate containing silicon substrate/sapphire substrate can be used to produce a three-layer structure of supporting substrate/anti-stress layer/epitaxy base layer through a very simple bonding process, as shown in Figure 5 , the lowermost
復參照第5圖,在兩複合基板接合後,接下來在薄化後的第二基板100b上形成規律排列且均勻分佈的微圖案106,圖形的高度可為0.2~5μm。如圖中所示,微圖案106的截面均勻地分布在第二藍寶石基板102b上,且形成微圖案106後的第二基板100b並不會露出下方的第二藍寶石基板102b。在此實施例中,三角形截面的微圖案106可以透過等向性蝕刻製程蝕刻具有<111>晶格方向的第二基板100b來直接形成。Referring back to FIG. 5, after the two composite substrates are bonded, regularly arranged and evenly
在本發明實施例中,在磊晶基礎面上形成微圖案106,如三角形截面的微圖案,因為這些微圖案具有<111>晶格方向的斜面的緣故,其可達成吾人所欲的側向磊晶成長(epitaxial lateral overgrowth, ELOG)功效。這樣的磊晶方式可以在磊晶過程中將所產生的缺陷彎曲,避免缺陷擴散增加。同時,三角形截面的微圖案106也可以在磊晶界面處吸收磊晶成長時的應力,有助於產生低缺陷密度、高磊晶品質的氮化鎵磊晶層。In the embodiment of the present invention, micropatterns 106, such as triangular cross-section micropatterns, are formed on the epitaxial base surface, because these micropatterns have slopes in the <111> lattice direction, which can achieve the desired lateral direction. Epitaxial growth (epitaxial lateral overgrowth, ELOG) function. Such an epitaxy method can bend the generated defects during the epitaxy process to avoid increased defect diffusion. At the same time, the
在其他實施例中,微圖案106也可以透過光刻製程的方式來形成有別於前述所示的三角形截面圖案,如第6圖所示,其步驟可包含在第二基板100b的表面形成一圖案化光阻(未圖示),該光阻已透過曝光顯影等步驟定義有微圖案106。再以該光阻為遮罩進行異向性乾式蝕刻,將光阻上的微圖案106轉移到第二基板100b,之後再將該光阻去除。在其他實施例中,亦可採用網版印刷或是雷射雕刻等方式來在藍寶石基板102的表面形成微圖案106。In other embodiments, the micro-pattern 106 can also be formed through a photolithography process to form a triangular cross-sectional pattern different from that shown above. As shown in FIG. 6, the step can include forming a A patterned photoresist (not shown), the photoresist has been defined with a
復參照第6圖,在此實施例中,於前述實施例不同的是,由於採用光阻以及異向性蝕刻製程的緣故,微圖案106具有矩形的截面,也就是其具有筆直的側壁,並不像前述實施例中的三角形截面般。再者,微圖案106會裸露出下方的第二藍寶石基板102b,且可在第二基板100b圖案化後進行一氧化製程在其表面形成一層共形的氧化矽層108。在此實施例中,磊晶是從具有<100>晶格方向的第二藍寶石基板102b表面開始成長的,且由於矽質的第二基板100b表面形成有氧化矽層108的緣故,磊晶層不會從第二基板100b表面成長。Referring again to FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the difference from the previous embodiments is that due to the use of photoresist and anisotropic etching processes, the
現在請參照第7圖。在此實施例中,於前述實施例不同的是,所形成的微圖案106在截面視角下呈現由下往上漸縮的梯形。在製程方面,其同樣可以透過光刻製程,先在第二基板100b的表面形成一圖案化光阻(未圖示),該光阻已透過曝光顯影等步驟定義有微圖案106。再以該光阻為遮罩進行等向性乾蝕刻製程或濕蝕刻製程,將光阻上的微圖案106轉移到第二基板100b,之後再將該光阻去除。由於採用等向性乾蝕刻製程的緣故,所形成的微圖案106會具有晶格方向上的斜面。與前述實施例相同,可在第二基板100b圖案化後進行一氧化製程在表面形成共形的氧化矽層108。在此實施例中,由於微圖案106有斜面的存在,其可達成吾人所欲的側向磊晶成長功效,可在磊晶過程中將所產生的缺陷彎曲,避免缺陷擴散增加。同時,由於在此實施例中,微圖案106的底部有底切特徵106a的存在,後續磊晶成長時該些底切特徵106a的位置容易形成孔洞,其有助於降低磊晶成長時的應力,以產生低缺陷密度、高磊晶品質的氮化鎵磊晶層。Now refer to Figure 7. In this embodiment, different from the previous embodiments, the formed
除了上述實施例外,在其他實施例中,微圖案106也可以透過硬遮罩的方式來形成。例如,如第8圖所示,首先,對矽質的第二基板100b進行氧化反應或氮化反應,形成高溫之氧化矽或氮化矽遮蔽層110。之後,在遮蔽層110的表面形成圖案化光阻(未圖示),該光阻已透過曝光顯影等步驟定義有微圖案106。之後以該光阻為遮罩進行乾蝕刻或溼蝕刻製程,將光阻上的微圖案106轉移到遮蔽層110,並透過轉移的微圖案106裸露出遮蔽層110下方的矽質第二基板100b,在露出第二基板100b即停止蝕刻動作,之後將該光阻去除。接著,再以遮蔽層110為蝕刻遮罩進行等向性的乾蝕刻或溼蝕刻製程,將微圖案106轉移第二基板100b中。須注意在此實施例中,所形成的微圖案106並未完全延伸穿過第二基板100b,也就是其並未裸露出下方的第二藍寶石基板102b。此外,此實施例中的微圖案106截面是呈倒梯形態樣的。再者,可以在微圖案106形成後於微圖案106的底面再形成另一遮蔽層112,其同樣可以透過氧化反應或氮化反應的方式來形成。形成該遮蔽層112的步驟可包含:再次對矽質的第二基板100b進行氧化反應或氮化反應,以在其表面(包含微圖案106的斜面與底面)形成氧化矽或氮化矽材質的遮蔽層112。接著,進行一光刻製程移除位於微圖案106斜面上的遮蔽層112,例如使用光阻遮蓋遮蔽層110與微圖案106底面上的遮蔽層112後進行蝕刻製程,如此僅留下位於微圖案106底面上的遮蔽層112。In addition to the above-mentioned embodiments, in other embodiments, the
此實施例的優點在於,倒梯形微圖案106的斜面為裸露出的<111>晶格方向的矽基板,而其頂部與底部的<100>晶格方向的平面分別被遮蔽層110與112所屏蔽,其後續在進行磊晶成長時,磊晶只會從裸露出的矽質<111>斜面生長,其可達成吾人所欲的側向磊晶成長功效,而磊晶成長時頂部與底部的平面有遮蔽層110與112屏蔽可以蓋住原本矽質第二基板100b的<100>晶格方向的表面,阻止磊晶從該晶格方向產生磊晶堆積。這樣的磊晶方式可以在磊晶過程中將所產生的缺陷彎曲,避免缺陷擴散增加。同時,倒梯形截面型態的微圖案106可以在磊晶界面處吸收磊晶成長時的應力,有助於產生低缺陷密度、高磊晶品質的氮化鎵磊晶層。The advantage of this embodiment is that the slope of the inverted
請參照第9圖,其為根據本發明較佳實施例中在矽質第二基板100b表面所形成規律排列的微圖案106範例的頂示意圖。在本發明實施例中,微圖案106在頂視角度下可為線形或是多邊形,其均勻規律地分佈在第二基板100b表面上,圖形的寬度可為0.5~5μm,圖形之間的間距可為0.5~10μm。Please refer to FIG. 9 , which is a schematic top view of an example of regularly arranged
現在請參照第10圖。在第二基板100b的表面形成微圖案106後,接下來則進行磊晶製程在第二基板100b具有微圖案106的表面上形成磊晶層114。更具體言之,以第6圖的實施例為例,可以透過有機金屬化學氣相沉積法(MOCVD)在第二基板100b的表面生長出氮化鎵(GaN)磊晶層114,所形成的磊晶層114可包含極性、半極性或是非極性的氮化鎵磊晶層。在實作中,可在本發明所提供的複合基板上進行氮化鎵元件之製作,其結構順序可能依序包含成核層、緩衝層、高反射層、通道層以及/或阻障層等層結構。由於本發明重點並非是氮化鎵元件之製作,實施例中僅以一磊晶層114來表示。
以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例,凡依本發明申請專利範圍所做之均等變化與修飾,皆應屬本發明之涵蓋範圍。
