Embodiment Construction

[0014] The apparatus and method of the present invention use high vapor pressure epitaxy (HVPE) in an epitaxial reactor by introducing high flow and high purity GaCl 3 Vapors are fed into the aforementioned reactors to enable chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for gallium film deposition.

[0015] Due to solid GaCl 3 The low vapor pressure, traditional gas phase delivery systems for solid precursors are not available for high flow and high purity GaCl 3 delivery.

[0016] Existing liquid-phase gas-phase delivery systems that can deliver such high flow rates are not suitable for molten (greater than 80°C) due to their low temperature capabilities, and the chemical nature of chlorine accelerated at higher temperatures - highly corrosive GaCl 3 .

[0017] The present invention is described as follows. GaCl 3 The solid precursor was placed in a 316LSS bubbler vessel where it was heated above its 78°C melting point. At this temperature and above, it is liquid and can be foamed ...

Abstract

The present invention is an apparatus for deliverying high purity gallium trichloride in the vapor phase to a gallium nitride reactor, comprising; a source of carrier gas at an elevated pressure; a purifier to remove moisture from the carrier gas; a heater capable of heating the carrier gas to at least 80 DEG C.; a container having a supply of gallium trichloride, a valve controlled inlet for the carrier gas having a dip tube with an outlet below the level of the gallium trichloride, a valve controlled outlet for removing the carrier gas and entrained gallium trichloride; a heater capable of heating sufficient to melt the gallium trichloride; a delivery line connected to the valve controlled outlet for carrying the entrained gallium trichloride to a reaction zone for gallium nitride. A process is also described for the apparatus.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 812,560, filed June 9, 2006. Background of the invention [0003] The electronics manufacturing industry has a strong interest in compound semiconductors such as gallium-containing films. Previously, gallium-containing compounds have been synthesized using trimethylgallium. That synthesis is expensive and slow. [0004] One disadvantage of synthesizing gallium-containing compounds is that gallium sources such as gallium trichloride (GaCl 3 ) delivery system. due to GaCl 3 Low vapor pressure in its solid state, traditional vapor delivery systems for solid precursors cannot deliver GaCl 3 High flow and high purity delivery. [0005] Existing liquid vapor delivery systems that can deliver such high flow rates are not suitable for molten (greater than 80°C) GaCl due to their low temperature capabilities, and the highly corrosive natu...
