Abstract

The invention provides a metal chloride gas generator, a hydride vapor phase epitaxy growth apparatus, and a nitride semiconductor template, wherein undesirable impurities are prevented from mixing with the raw materials of the nitride semiconductor template. An hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) growth apparatus comprises a Ga tank and an A1 tank both arranged at a raw material section on an upstream side, and a growing section reacting furnace provided with a growth sapphire substrate. A raw material section heater and a heater each of which heats an inside of the reactor, an upstream end comprising a gas inlet, and a gas inlet pipe arranged to extend from the upstream end via the receiving section to the growing section, for introducing a chloride gas from the upstream end to supply the chloride gas to the receiving section and supplying a metal chloride gas produced by a reaction between the chloride gas and the metal in the receiving section to the growing section. The gas inlet pipe includes a suppressing section for suppressing an optical wave guiding phenomenon which waveguides a radiant heat from the growing section heater or the growing section.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal chloride gas generating device, a hydride vapor deposition device and a method for manufacturing a nitride semiconductor template. Background technique [0002] Group III nitride semiconductors such as gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN), and indium gallium nitride (InGaN) have attracted attention as light-emitting element materials capable of emitting light from red to ultraviolet. One of these nitride semiconductor crystal growth methods is a hydride vapor phase deposition method (HVPE: Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy) using metal chloride gas and ammonia as raw materials. [0003] As the characteristics of the HVPE method, it is listed that it is possible to obtain several micrometers typical of other growth methods (MOVPE: Metal-Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy, Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE: Molecular Beam Epitaxy)). The growth rate per hr is significantly larger than that of 10 μm / hr or more to 100 μm / hr...
