Problems solved by technology

However, the above two types of methods all have the following two disadvantages. First, the preparation process is complicated and the cost is high, which is not conducive to large-scale industrial production; second, after the selective growth technology is adopted, it is still necessary to introduce a or several prestressed layers to obtain higher quality III-nitride epitaxial films

Abstract

The invention discloses a region-selective growth method and structure of III-group nitride epitaxial thin film on a silicon substrate. The present invention adopts the carbon nanotube array as a micron / nano composite size mask, can directly obtain high-quality III-nitride epitaxial film, and obtain a bright surface, high-quality, low-stress III-nitride within a small thickness Epitaxial film; the preparation of carbon nanotube mask has the advantages of simple process, low cost, environmental protection, stable chemical properties, high temperature resistance and high surface cleanliness; it also has the advantages of flexible and precise controllable size and shape of graphics; it can also The carbon nanotube mask is inserted multiple times in the epitaxial film to form a periodic carbon nanotube mask structure, which further improves the crystal quality of the III-nitride epitaxial film, and because carbon nanotubes have high thermal conductivity and high electrical conductivity, etc. Therefore, for the subsequent microelectronic or optoelectronic devices, it can play the role of heat dissipation and current expansion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to semiconductor optoelectronic technology, in particular to a selective growth method and structure of group III nitride epitaxial thin films on silicon substrates with carbon nanotubes as masks. Background technique [0002] Group III nitrides are a class of semiconductor materials with great application prospects. Due to the difficulty and high cost of preparing group III nitride single crystal substrates, currently nitride thin films are mainly obtained by epitaxy on heterogeneous substrates. [0003] Commonly used substrate materials include sapphire, silicon nitride, silicon, and the like. Among them, sapphire has large lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch with group III nitrides, and its thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity are poor. As far as silicon nitride is concerned, its mechanical properties are poor, its price is high, and it is still difficult to prepare large-scale substrates. Compared with the abov...
