Description
本発明に用いるフラックス法は、フラックスとなるアルカリ金属と、原料であるIII 族金属とを含む混合融液に、窒素を含むガスを供給して溶解させ、液相でIII 族窒化物半導体をエピタキシャル成長させる方法である。本発明では、混合融液中に種基板1を配置し、その種基板1上にIII 族窒化物半導体を結晶成長させる。
本発明のIII 族窒化物半導体の製造方法では、混合融液中に種基板(種結晶)1を配置し、その種基板1上にIII 族窒化物半導体を育成する。この種基板1には、以下の構成のものを用いる。
本発明のIII 族窒化物半導体の製造方法では、たとえば以下の構成の結晶製造装置を用いる。
次に、本発明のIII 族窒化物半導体の製造方法について、図4を参照に説明する。
比較例として、実施例1と同一構成の種基板100を用い、炭素の添加量を変えた以外は同一の育成条件のフラックス法によって、種基板100上にGaN結晶を育成した。炭素の添加量は、Naに対して0.6mol%とし、実施例1に比べてCの添加量を増やした。育成したGaN結晶の厚さは0.55mmであった。
