Problems solved by technology

Gallium phosphide single crystals with low dislocation density have been prepared by vertical gradient solidification method and vertical Bridgman method, but they have not been used in industrial production.
[0004] Now the world adopts the LEC method to industrially produce gallium phosphide. The single crystal diameter is mainly 50mm. X-ray scanning and weighing methods are usually used to control the crystal diamete

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for growing gallium phosphide single crystals. The method comprises the following steps of: preparing materials, charging, vacuumizing, filling gas, heating for dissolving, welding seed crystals, seeding, shouldering, removing a floating needle for the first time, removing the floating needle for the second time, performing equal-diameter control, and ending, wherein gallium phosphide polycrystals, a floating boat, a doping agent and boron oxide are put into a crucible in the material preparation process, the floating boat is made of silicon nitride and has the internal diameter of phi20 to 80mm, and pressure is controlled to be 1.0 to 5.0MPa (absolute pressure) after a hearth is filled with nitrogen. The method has the advantages that: the diameter of the crystals is controlled by the floating boat, the density of the floating boat is between the density of the boron oxide and the density of gallium phosphide, the floating boat can float on a melting surface of the gallium phosphide, and the diameter is slightly influenced by the ascending or descending of a solid liquid interface in the floating boat due to temperature change, so the diameter of the crystals can be well controlled by controlling the rotating speed of the floating boat, the gallium phosphide single crystals with the size of 1 to 3 inches are grown, the yield of the single crystals is improved, the crystallization quality of the single crystals is high, and a mobility index in electrical parameters can stably reach 130-140cm<2>/v.s.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a compound semiconductor single crystal growth process, in particular to a gallium phosphide single crystal growth method. Background technique [0002] Gallium phosphide single crystal material can be used to manufacture general red, yellow, and green light-emitting diodes. It has low-current, high-efficiency light-emitting characteristics and is one of the main materials for visible light LEDs. At the same time, gallium phosphide single crystal materials can also be used as bonding materials for high-brightness light-emitting diodes, making the quaternary LED grains change from the original single-side light to six-side light, and its luminous brightness is increased by more than 60%, and the original The GaAs substrate absorbs energy, increasing the lifetime of the LED. [0003] At present, the growth methods of gallium phosphide single crystal include high-pressure single crystal furnace liquid-sealed Czochralski method, v...
