Description
本開示に係る実施の形態1の研磨方法について図1~図4を用いて説明する。まず、図1に示す工程において、研磨を行う被加工物基板100を準備する。被加工物基板100の材質は、ダイヤモンド、SiC(炭化珪素)およびGaN(窒化ガリウム)の何れか用いることができるが、窒化物半導体層を形成することを考慮すると極めて熱伝導率の高いダイヤモンドを用いることが特に好適である。なお、図1等では被加工物基板100の表面のμmレベルの凹凸ASを強調して表している。
次に、触媒金属膜MFを形成した後の被加工物基板100に対して、図3に示す研磨装置PMを用いて研磨を行う。図3は研磨装置PMの構成を模試的に示している。図3に示されるように、研磨装置PMは、酸化剤薬液OSを貯留する薬液槽CBと、定盤回転機構RDと結合され、薬液槽CB内で触媒金属膜MFが対面するように被加工物基板100を搭載する研磨定盤PDと、研磨定盤PD上で被加工物基板100を保持する基板保持盤HBと、基板保持盤HBを介して被加工物基板100を加圧して研磨定盤PDに押しつけながら回転させる基板回転機構RMを備えている。
次に、図5~図10用いて本開示に係る実施の形態2の半導体基板の製造方法について説明する。
なお、以上説明した実施の形態1および実施の形態2では、成長基板1の主面上にヘテロエピタキシャル成長によって半導体層2を形成するものとして説明したが、半導体層2はヘテロエピタキシャル成長で形成された半導体層に限定されるものではなく、ホモエピタキシャル成長で形成された半導体膜で構成しても良い。
以下、実施の形態1の研磨方法および実施の形態2の半導体基板の製造方法の実施例を、実施例1~4としてより詳細に説明するが、実施の条件はこれらに限定されるものではない。
実施例1、2および比較例においては、被加工物基板としてダイヤモンドを用いた。実施例3においては、被加工物基板として6H-SiC基板を用いた。実施例4においては、被加工物基板としてGaN基板を用いた。各被加工物基板は10mm角サイズに裁断して使用した。
実施例1、3および4においては、触媒金属膜としてスパッタリング法で形成されたニッケル膜を用いた。ニッケル膜の厚さは10μmとした。
実施例1、実施例3~4、および比較例においては、研磨装置で用いる研磨定盤の材質として、ニッケルを用いた。実施例2においては、研磨装置で用いる研磨定盤の材質として、鋳鉄を用いた。
実施例1~4および比較例の各被加工物基板の研磨においては、1重量パーセント(wt%)に希釈した過酸化水素水を酸化剤薬液として用いた。
実施例1~4および比較例の各被加工物基板の研磨前後の主面形状の変化を、走査型白色干渉計を用いた光学的な形状評価手法を用いて表面形状評価した。
実施例1~4および比較例の各被加工物基板の研磨条件として、研磨圧力0.5MPa、被加工物基板の回転数50rpm、研磨定盤の回転数50rpmとした。研磨途中、5時間ごとに被加工物基板を研磨装置から取り外して主面形状を評価し、被加工物基板の主面の形状測定点の全点において表面算術粗さ(Ra)が0.5nm未満となった状態を研磨完了とみなし、研磨と基板主面の形状評価を繰り返しながら、最大50時間までの研磨を行った。
実施例1~4、比較例において、Si基板上にヘテロエピタキシャル成長により窒化ガリウム膜を形成して窒化物半導体層とし、アクリル接着剤でガラス基板で構成される支持基板に接着した後、Si基板を機械研削法によって除去し、除去面に化学機械研磨法により精密研磨を実施した。その後、ガラス基板と接着した窒化ガリウム膜と、実施例1~4および比較例で形成した各被加工物基板とを、表面活性化常温接合により接合し、窒化物半導体層と各被加工物基板とが一体化された半導体基板を製造した。
実施例1~4および比較例において、製造された半導体基板の接合品質、ここでは被加工物基板の主面の面積に対する接合不良(界面ボイド)が残留する領域の面積の割合を超音波探傷法により評価し、界面ボイドが残留しない領域の面積の割合を接合面領域の割合とした。
実施例1~4においては、予め被加工物基板の表面に遷移金属元素で構成される触媒金属膜を形成して研磨を実施した。そのため、研磨作用が基板全面においてより有効に作用し、図11で示されるように基板の主面の研磨が完了するまでの時間(研磨完了時間)は、実施例1~4において20時間以内であり、比較例の50時間超と比べて短時間で終わった。
