Problems solved by technology

Although this method can also reduce the dislocation density of gallium nitride single crystal, it needs to prepare a GaN substrate with a special structure in advance, and then perform selective etching. The preparation of the substrate requires complex photolithography process and preparation technology, and the cost is high. It is not suitable for batch growth; and using the GaN seed crystal substrate, the growth temperature required for gas phase growth is relatively high (1100-1250°C)

Abstract

The invention relates to an H3PO4 corrosive seed crystal for growing A GaN (Gallium Nitride) single crystal by using HVPE (Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxial) and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: growing a GaN epitaxial film slice on a substrate to obtain a GaN epitaxial slice; dipping the GaN epitaxial slice into an H3PO4 solution to corrode; quickly taking out the GaN epitaxial slice after the GaN epitaxial slice is corroded, and placing into water to stop corrosion to obtain a seed crystal with an H3PO4 corrosion pit structure on a GaN epitaxial film layer surface; and washing and drying the corroded seed crystal with the H3PO4 corrosion pit structure, then placing into an HVPE growth system to grow the GaN single crystal epitaxially. In the invention, a GaN substrate with a special structure is prepared without using a complex process, and the preparation method has simplicity in process, low cost and low growth temperature and is suitable for batch production.

The purpose is to improve the quality of epitaxially grown GaN single crystals and reduce the dislocation density of GaN single crystals. Background technique [0002] The third-generation semiconductor material represented by gallium nitride (GaN) has the characteristics of wide bandgap, high breakdown voltage, high electron mobility, and stable chemical properties. It is very suitable for making radiation-resistant, high-frequency, high-power and High-density integrated electronic devices and blue, green and ultraviolet optoelectronic devices. It has broad application prospects in semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes (LDs), ultraviolet detectors, and high-energy high-frequency electronic devices. However, due to the lack of GaN bulk single crystals, the current commercialized GaN-based devices basically...
