AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] Laser lift-off technology is a technology that separates substrates by absorbing laser light from the interface under high-power laser irradiation, but it is difficult to produce large-sized self-supporting substrates
In addition, the VAS technology is based on the phenomenon of natural exfoliation, but requires complex processes such as the preparation of GaN templates and the evaporation of metal layers.
[0012] In addition, there is a method of growing thick-film GaN on a GaAs substrate and removing the GaAs substrate by chemical etching. However, in high-temperature growth, there are problems such as decomposition of the GaAs substrate and interdiffusion at the interface, and special growth techniques are required.
Due to the complexity of such a production process and problems with yield, it has not been widely used
[0013] In summary, existing GaN-based self-supporting substrates have major problems of low yield and high cost due to complicated processes

Abstract

[PROBLEMS] To provide a method for manufacturing a stress-free GaN-based nitride compound semiconductor at low cost by simple process. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A method for manufacturing a GaN-based nitride semiconductor self-supporting substrate includes a step of preparing a substrate; a step of forming a GaN dot and an NHCl layer on the substrate; a step of forming a low-temperature GaN buffer layer on the GaN dot and the NHCl layer; a step of forming a GaN nitride semiconductor layer on the low-temperature GaN buffer layer; and a step of naturally removing the GaN-based nitride semiconductor layer from the substrate by returning the substrate temperature to a normal temperature.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a GaN-based nitride semiconductor self-supporting substrate. Background technique [0002] In order to realize blue and ultraviolet high-power laser diodes, high-brightness LEDs, and high-power electronic devices, components based on nitride semiconductors are developing toward higher performance. Currently, in the production of GaN-based optical or electronic devices, sapphire substrates are mainly used as substrates for crystal growth. [0003] However, in the case of using a sapphire substrate, the dislocation density (dislocation density) is 10 due to the large lattice mismatch between the substrate and the GaN-based nitride semiconductor and the difference in thermal expansion coefficient. 10 / cm 2 about. Also, there are problems such as degradation of element characteristics due to such a large defect density. [0004] In order to reduce the dislocation density, a variety of buffer l...
