Embodiment 1~21

[0112] use figure 1 The crystal growth device for the manufacture of zinc oxide single crystals. As the seed crystal, a 1.0mm thick and 1×10 2 ~1×10 4 piece / cm 2 The C plane of the main crystal plane is a plate-shaped crystal with a major diameter of 20 mm. Examples 1 to 21 employed the conditions described in Table 1, respectively. The LiOH concentration in the solution described in Table 1 is shown in ppm unit (weight basis) only in Example 21.

[0113] In addition, the temperature change in the crystal growth of zinc oxide can be measured by monitoring with a thermocouple, and it describes in Table 1. In addition, the pressure change in the crystal growth of zinc oxide can be measured by monitoring with a manometer, and it describes in Table 1.

[0114] In Examples 1, 3-9, 12, and 15-21, no macroscopic defects such as flow marks were observed in the obtained zinc oxide single crystals, and the quality was extremely high. In addition, the following preferred examples ...

Embodiment 22~26

[0123] Using the same seed crystals and crystal growth apparatus as in Examples 1-21, zinc oxide crystals were grown by the same method under the conditions in Table 2. Examples 22, 24, and 26 are crystals grown on the (0001) plane [+C plane], and Examples 23 and 25 are crystals grown on the (000-1) plane [-C plane]. In Examples 22 to 25, two wafers were cut out from the same crystal and evaluated. The carrier concentration, mobility, and resistivity of the obtained zinc oxide single crystal were determined by Hall measurement (van der Pauw method (Van der Pauw method)). As a measuring device, ResiTest 8300 manufactured by Toyo Corporation was used. Macroscopic defects such as flow marks were not observed at all in the obtained zinc oxide single crystal, and the quality was extremely high.

Embodiment 27~30

[0126] Using the same seed crystal and crystal cultivation device as in Examples 1 to 21, gallium oxide (Ga 2 o 3 ), and use the same method to make zinc oxide crystal growth under the conditions of table 3. The Ga concentration shown in Table 3 is the concentration of Ga element in the raw material (weight basis). Examples 27 and 29 are crystals grown on the (0001) plane [+C plane]. Examples 28 and 30 are crystals grown on the (000-1) plane [-C plane]. The concentration of gallium in the obtained ZnO single crystal was determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry. As a measuring device, a 4F secondary ion mass spectrometer manufactured by Cameca was used. use 2 + Ions are used as primary ion species, and the primary ion energy is 8keV. It should be noted that the gallium detection limit of this method is 5 × 10 14 atom / cm 3 . In addition, the resistivity of the obtained zinc oxide single crystal was measured by the eddy current method using a non-contact resistivit...

Abstract

Disclosed is a simple method for producing a zinc oxide single crystal having sufficiently low lithium concentration and high crystallinity. Specifically, a zinc oxide crystal is grown by using a solution having a lithium concentration of not more than 1 ppm (based on weight) by hydrothermal synthesis, while suppressing variations of crystal growth temperature within 5 DEG C or at a temperature within the range of 300-370 DEG C.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-quality zinc oxide single crystal applicable to semiconductor devices and a manufacturing method thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a zinc oxide single crystal with a low lithium concentration and a method for producing its characteristics. Background technique [0002] A zinc oxide single crystal is a semiconductor having a crystal structure of a hexagonal wurtzite type compound, is capable of direct transition, and has a large band gap (Eg: 3.37 eV). In addition, its exciton binding energy (ZnO: 60meV) is very large compared with other semiconductor materials (GaN: 21meV, ZnSe: 20meV), so it can be expected to be used as an efficient light-emitting device material. In order to realize a light-emitting device using zinc oxide, zinc oxide must be adjusted to be p-type, but zinc oxide has the following properties: it is easy to generate defects such as oxygen vacancies and interstitial zinc, and...
