Abstract:
A manufacturing method of a III family nitride crystal is provided to restrict generation of a crack of the III family nitride crystal when a III family nitride substrate is removed efficiently. A manufacturing method of a III family nitride crystal includes the following steps of: growing a III family nitride crystal having different one between kind and rate of constitutional atoms and the kinds and concentration of dopant on a main surface of a III family nitride substrate(10); and removing the III family nitride substrate with vapor phase etching; and spinning etching gas on the other surface of the III family nitride substrate. The spinning etching uses one kind at least selected from a group consisting of HCI gas, Cl2 gas and H2 gas. The difference of the etching temperature of the spinning etching and the growth temperature of the III family nitride crystal is 200‹C or less.
Abstract:
A nitride semiconductor substrate and a method for manufacturing the same are provided to lower a dislocation density and to increase emission efficiency. A nitride semiconductor substrate includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a network defect accumulating region(H) of a width T', and a low defect density single crystal region(Z). The network defect accumulating region repeats a closed looped unit shape penetrating from the top surface to the bottom surface. The low defect density single crystal region is enclosed by the closed loop grain boundary(K) of the network defect accumulating region, and extends from the top surface to the bottom surface.
Abstract:
A semi-insulating nitride semiconductor substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, a nitride epitaxial substrate, and a field effect transistor are provided to prevent a mixing of oxygen and to grow a uniform crystal by maintaining a growing temperature into a high temperature. A mask is formed on a base substrate. In the mask, a cover part of a dot type or a stripe type having a diameter or a width of 10~100um is arranged with an interval of 250~2000um. A nitride semiconductor crystal is grown on the base substrate by supplying a gas containing a group 3 raw material gas, a group 5 raw material gas, and iron by an HVPE(Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy) method with a temperature 1040~1150°C. The base substrate is removed. A crystal surface except for the cover part is flattened in a temperature of 1090~1150°C.
Abstract:
A method of growing a gallium nitride crystal is provided to reduce a density of dislocations effectively by forming a stable grain boundary at an interface of two different crystal regions, in an epitaxial growth method. A mask(M) inhibiting epitaxial growth of a gallium nitride crystal is formed partially on a ground substrate(U). The gallium nitride crystal is grown epitaxially on the ground substrate in which the mask is formed, while doping carbon. A first crystal region is grown from a periphery region of the mask toward inside, and an c-axis direction is reversed in the first crystal region relative to a second crystal region grown on a region where the mask is not formed in the ground substrate.

A GaN crystal substrate is provided to reduce bending of a GaN wafer by generating defects in an interface between a c-axis gross core region and a low-defect single crystal region. A low-defect single crystal region(Z) has a c-axis and an-axis. A C-facet growth region(Y)(11) has a c-axis and an a-axis which are parallel with the c-axis and a-axis of the low-defect single crystal region. A defect gathering region(H)(21) has a c-axis opposite to the direction of the c-axis of the low-defect single crystal region and an a-axis opposite to the direction of the a-axis of the low-defect single crystal region. A c-axis gross core region(F)(31) of 0.1-10/centimeter^2 has a c-axis parallel with the c-axis of the low-defect single crystal region and an a-axis different from the a-axis of the low-defect single crystal region, including at least one crystal. The low-defect single crystal region and the C-facet growth region can a random defect gathering region(G)(12) of 0~100/centimeter^2.
