GaAlAs MO− using trimethylgallium TMG, trimethylaluminum TMA and AsH3
Due to the presence of Al in vapor phase epitaxial growth by CVD,
It is known that a large amount of electron traps are mixed into GaAlAs crystals, and this is thought to be related to the fact that Al is easily oxidized. Carrier gases used for vapor phase growth include H 2 O, O 2 , CO, and CO 2
Impurities including oxygen are considered, and efforts are being made to purify the gas used, but this is currently incomplete. The cause is thought to be H 2 O, O 2 , CO, and CO 2 adsorbed on the inner wall of the gas piping system of the MO-CVD device, or O 2 from AsH 3 and H 2 S gas for which there is no purification device. As for the carrier gas itself, there is a purification device that uses a Pd diffusion film that is expected to have almost perfect purity, but although the above-mentioned causes can be improved with long-term use of the device, oxygen leakage from the growth device is also a problem. Yes, it is incomplete.

FIG. 1 schematically shows a conventionally known GaAlAs epitaxial growth apparatus. Ultra-high purity H 2 gas is supplied to the carrier gas by a Pb diffusion membrane type purifier 9, and there is no suitable purifier.
H 2 gas containing AsH 3 and H 2 S is supplied from cylinders 7 and 8, respectively. Raw materials TMG, TMA,
DMZn (Zn(CH 3 ) 2 ) is vaporized by cylinder-type bubblers 3 , 4 , and 5 and supplied to the growth reaction tube 13 . The susceptor 15 in the reaction tube 13 is heated by induction using the high-frequency coil 14, and the substrate 11 placed on the susceptor 15 is heated, resulting in a thermal decomposition reaction.
GaAlAs is epitaxially grown. Stainless steel pipes are mainly used for gas passages such as gas piping. Here, H 2 S and AsH 3 are gases made based on high-purity hydrogen, but as residual gases, there are also cylinders 7 and 8, gas piping pipe 1, pressure regulator 10, flow meter 2, A large amount of H 2 O, O 2 , CO, and CO 2 are adsorbed on the inner wall of the valve 6 when the growth apparatus is assembled.
in H2 gas for a long period of time without being easily desorbed.
Source of H2O , O2 , CO, and CO2 . Furthermore, there is a possibility that O 2 leaks from various devices in the growth apparatus, which prevents epitaxial growth of high-quality GaAlAs. Crystals with high carrier concentration cannot be obtained, and the epitaxial layer tends to have high resistance.
Mobility is low. The mobility of Ga0.7A10.3As is less than 1/2 that of GaAs.

[Function] The present invention removes impurities in the gas, such as H 2 O, O 2 , CO, and CO 2 , by bringing a gas used for treatment into contact with substances that are extremely easily oxidized, such as Al and Mg. In a normal reaction, an oxide film is formed on the surfaces of Al and Mg, which causes the oxidation reaction to stop or slow down. By the way, if the above substances are alloyed, the influence of the oxide film will be reduced. Alloys of the above substances, Ga, In, Sn, Pb, and low melting point metals become liquid at relatively low temperatures. Liquid metals do not form stable oxide films. Note that Al, Mg
It is possible to expect a similar effect by heating to high temperatures without alloying, but when considering the growth of GaAlAs, AsH 3 and TMA in the raw material gas
The decomposition reaction of (Al(CH 3 ) 3 ) progresses, creating obstacles that make it difficult to control the growth of GaAlAs.

In FIG. 2, a boat 20 is disposed inside the reaction tube 13, and a processing gas is blown onto the boat 20 to remove easily oxidizable metals such as Al and Mg and Ga and In. , Sn, and Pb are filled with alloys with low melting point metals. The alloy 19 in the boat 20 heated by the heater 18 inside or outside the reaction tube 13 is in a liquid state, and by blowing gas, the liquid flows and the oxide film is easily removed. The heating temperature is, for example, as an alloy.
When a Ga-Al (30%) alloy containing 30 atomic % of Al is used, it becomes a liquid alloy by heating to about 300°C.
Since Al in Ga is selectively oxidized, easily vaporized oxides such as Ga 2 O 3 are not generated. It is also a purpose
AsH 3 , TMG, the raw material for epi-growth of GaAlAs
(Ga(CH 3 ) 3 ) and TMA (Al(CH 3 ) 3 ) do not decompose because the temperature is too low for thermal decomposition reactions. Therefore, it is contained in the raw material and its carrier gas.
Since the oxygen in H 2 O, O 2 , CO, and CO 2 combines with Al in the alloy, the oxygen content in the gas is almost completely removed, and the properties of GaAlAs are significantly improved because no oxygen is mixed in. . The mobility of Ga0.7Al0.3As crystals is now approximately 90% higher than that of GaAs. Also, in the growth of GaAs, by reducing oxygen, the degree of carbon incorporation has been reduced, and an impurity concentration of about 10 14 cm -3 can now be obtained. This is thought to be because oxygen has an important effect on carbon contamination, and was found to be effective for GaAs growth as well.

Furthermore, in this example, the molten alloy was placed inside the reaction tube as a method for removing oxygen from the gas, but depending on the case, it is also possible to place it inside or in front of the gas piping system. In particular, it is effective to intensively deoxidize AsH 3 gas and H 2 S gas for doping, which do not pass through a purification device.
Further, an oxide film is formed on the above alloy, and this serves to reduce oxidation reactions. Therefore, if spraying reactive gas is insufficient to remove the oxide film formed on the alloy surface, actively stir the alloy alloy liquid mechanically or remove the oxide film formed on the top surface of the melt. The action of the present invention can be made more effective by squeezing the oxidized film so that the alloy always has a clean surface.
