Problems solved by technology

However, due to the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between GaN and the heterogeneous substrate, the larger the thickness of the grown GaN epitaxial crystal, the greater the curvature, and it may even fall off the heterogeneous substrate by itself. It is very unfavorable to prepare devices by homoepitaxial substrate
Moreover, to be used as a substrate material, the surface needs to be precisely processed to the atomic level. It is difficult to process a wafer with a large curvature to the required precision.
Moreover, gallium nitride material has high hardness and high brittleness, and it is easy to fragment during processing.
This brings fatal difficulties to the application of gallium nitride materials

Abstract

The invention relates to a gallium nitride single crystal wafer fixing device and a polishing method, and belongs to crystal processing technologies. According to the appearance characteristics of gallium nitride single crystal thick film materials growing on silicon carbide, sapphire and other heterogeneous substrates, cracks are generated between the single crystal materials and substrate slices due to thermal mismatch and lattice mismatch, the single crystal materials and the substrate slices are prone to fragmentation in the stripping process, even if the single crystal materials and the substrate slices are stripped, the thickness is small, the thickness difference is large, and grinding and polishing cannot be conducted easily through a grinder, a grinding machine and other tools. According to the gallium nitride single crystal wafer fixing device provided by the invention, the heterogeneous substrates do not need to be stripped, the polishing surface can be quickly fixed and determined by combining orientation equipment, and a flat gallium nitride single crystal wafer can be obtained by means of mechanical polishing in the later period. The method is simple in process and easy to operate.
