Abstract
Description
(半導体デバイスの製造方法)
図3は、実施例1に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法を示すフローチャートである。図4は、実施例1に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法を示す平面図である。図5は、実施例1に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法を示す断面図である。
化合物半導体部9の厚みをベース半導体部8の厚みの1/2以下とすることで、ベース半導体部8上に化合物半導体部9を形成した際にトレンチが埋まり難くなり、剥離歩留まり(剥離成功率)が向上する。
低欠陥部SDの貫通転位密度は、開口部K上(シード部3上)に位置する転位継承部HDの貫通転位密度の1/5以下であってもよい。低欠陥部SDの基底面転位の密度が5×108/cm2以下であってもよい。基底面転位が、ベース半導体部8のc面(X-Y面)に平行に伸びる転位であってもよい。ここでの基底面転位密度は、例えば、ウエハーを分割して低欠陥部SDの側面を出し、この側面の転位密度をCL測定することで得られる。
主基板1には、GaN系半導体と異なる格子定数を有する異種基板を用いることができる。異種基板としては、単結晶のシリコン(Si)基板、サファイア(Al2O3)基板、シリコンカーバイド(SiC)基板等を挙げることができる。主基板1の面方位は、例えば、シリコン基板の(111)面、サファイア基板の(0001)面、SiC基板の6H-SiC(0001)面である。これらは例示であって、第1半導体部S1をELO法で成長させることができる主基板および面方位であればよい。主基板1に、SiC(バルク結晶)基板、GaN(バルク結晶)基板、あるいはAlN(バルク結晶)基板を用いることもできる。
実施例1では、第1半導体部S1(ベース半導体部8)をGaN層とし、MOCVD装置を用いて前述のテンプレート基板7上に窒化ガリウム(GaN)のELO成膜を行った。ELO成膜条件の一例として、基板温度:1120℃、成長圧力:50kPa、TMG(トリメチルガリウム):22sccm、NH3:15slm、V/III=6000(III族原料の供給量に対する、V族原料の供給量の比)を採用することができる。
化合物半導体部9は、例えばMOCVD法で形成することができる。図7の化合物半導体部9では、例えば、n型部9Nをn-GaN層とし、発光部LSを含む活性部9Kを、InGaN層およびGaN層を含むMQW(Multi-Quantum Well)とし、p型部9Pを、p-AlGaN層およびp-GaN層の積層構造とすることで、素子部DSをLED(発光ダイオード)とすることができる。上述のように、n型部9Nを、第1半導体部S1上のリグロース層から形成してもよい。
図13は、実施例1に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法の別例を示す平面図である。図13に示すように、窒化物半導体を含む第1半導体部S1を、ELO法を用いて面状に形成してもよい。この場合、ELO法での成膜時に、マスク部5上を逆向きに横方向(X方向)成長する半導体結晶同士をマスク部5上で会合させればよい。会合は、隣り合う開口部Kのほぼ中央(マスク部5の中央部)で起こり、会合部の直下に、ボイド(空隙)が形成されることがある。このボイドは、会合により生じた第1半導体部S1の内部に形成され、会合後の歪を開放する役割を果たす。また、第1半導体部S1対して、X方向に伸びる複数のトレンチTRおよびY方向に伸びる複数のトレンチTRを形成することで、複数の島状のベース半導体部8が形成される。
これに限定されない。図18のように、化合物半導体部9の形成後に第1電極E1を形成し、素子部DSを支持基板SKに転写した後に、ベース半導体部8の下面(裏面)に第2電極E2(カソード)を形成することもできる。
この場合、化合物半導体部9のn型部9Nおよびp型部9Pそれぞれが、活性部9Kよりも屈折率の大きい、光ガイド層およびクラッド層を含んでいてもよく、p型部9Pがリッジ(電流狭窄部)を有していてもよい。具体的には、n型部9Nとして、第1コンタクト層(例えばn型GaN層)、第1クラッド層(例えばn型AlGaN層)、および第1光ガイド層(例えばn型GaN層)を設けてもよい。活性層9Kには、InGaN層を含むMQW(Multi-Quantum Well)構造を用いることができる。p型部9Pとして、電子ブロッキング層(例えばp型AlGaN層)、第2光ガイド層(例えばp型GaN層)、第2クラッド層(例えばp型AlGaN層)、および第2コンタクト層(例えばp型GaN層)を設けてもよい。上述のように、n型部9Nを、第1半導体部S1上のリグロース層から形成してもよい。
図23~図27は、実施例1で得られる半導体デバイスの構成を示す斜視図である。図3の製造方法により、例えば図23あるいは図24に示す発光体(LEDチップ)21を得ることができる。図23では、第2電極E2がベース半導体部8に接しており、図24では、第2電極E2が化合物半導体部9のn型部9Nに接している。図14の製造方法により、例えば図25に示す発光体21を得ることができる。図18の製造方法により、例えば図26に示す発光体21を得ることができる。図21の製造方法により、例えば図27に示す発光体21(半導体レーザチップ)を得ることができる。リッジRJは電流狭窄部であり、化合物半導体部9の活性部9Kの劈開面(m面)からレーザ光が出射する。リッジRJはp型部9Pをドライエッチングして形成することができ、このエッチングが活性部9Kに悪影響を及ぼすおそれは小さい。図27の活性部9Kの劈開面(m面)上に光反射膜を形成してもよい。光反射膜は、例えば複数の誘電体膜で形成することができる。誘電体膜の材料としては、SiO2、Al2O3、AlN、AlON、SiON、Nb2O5、Ta2O5、ZrO2等を挙げることができる。また、これらを複数種含む積層膜を光反射膜として用いることもできる。
図29は、実施例2に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法を示すフローチャートである。図30は、実施例2に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法を示す平面図である。図31は、実施例2に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法を示す断面図である。
図33Aおよび図33Bは、実施例3に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法を示すフローチャートである。図34は、実施例3に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法を示す平面図である。図35は、実施例3に係る半導体デバイスの製造方法を示す断面図である。
実施例1~3では、第1半導体部S1をGaN層とすることができるがこれに限定されない。実施例1~3の第1半導体部S1を、GaN系半導体層であるInGaN層とすることもできる。InGaN層の横方向成膜は、例えば1000℃を下回るような低温で行う。高温ではインジウムの蒸気圧が高くなり、膜中に有効に取り込まれないためである。成膜温度が低温になることで、マスク部5とInGaN層の相互反応が低減される効果がある。また、InGaN層は、GaN層よりもマスク部5との反応性が低いという効果もある。InGaN層にインジウムがIn組成レベル1%以上で取り込まれるようになると、マスク部5との反応性がさらに低下するため、望ましい。ガリウム原料ガスとしては、トリエチルガリウム(TEG)を用いることが好ましい。
