Problems solved by technology

However, during the processing of gallium antimonide wafers, the twins on the wafer surface can only be observed after cleaning. On the one hand, the wafer will be degraded and the value of the wafer will be greatly reduced; on the other hand, the wafer needs to be re-cut for processing and shipping.
Therefore, can cause the loss of wafer and the waste of manpower and material resources
Although there is an EPD etching process for gallium antimonide in the prior art, the function of this process is focused on the identification of dislocations and defects, and it is impossible to identify twins well.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for processing a gallium antimonide wafer, which comprises the following steps of: S1, cleaning the sliced and cleaned gallium antimonide wafer, and removing cutting fluid on the surface of the gallium antimonide wafer; s2, the surface of the gallium antimonide wafer is washed and dried; s3, cleaning the gallium antimonide wafer by using a corrosive liquid A, wherein the corrosive liquid A is composed of an alkaline substance and an oxide; s4, cleaning the gallium antimonide wafer by using a corrosive liquid B, wherein the corrosive liquid B is composed of an acid solution and a buffer solution; s5, the surface of the gallium antimonide wafer is washed and dried; and S6, observing the surface of the gallium antimonide wafer under a fluorescent lamp and marking twin crystal distribution. The processing method is high in preferred corrosion stability, good in repeatability and controllable in corrosion speed, the crystal twin position of the corroded wafer is clear and can be well recognized, and therefore the accuracy and efficiency of wafer breaking are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a compound semiconductor wafer etching process, in particular to a gallium antimonide wafer processing method. Background technique [0002] Gallium antimonide is a direct bandgap semiconductor material with a forbidden band width of 0.725eV at room temperature and a lattice constant of 0.6096nm. It has a high degree of lattice matching with some superlattices and is widely used in lasers, detectors, high Frequency devices, solar cells and other military and civilian fields. [0003] At present, with the development of microelectronics and optoelectronic devices based on gallium antimonide substrates, higher requirements are placed on materials. If there are twins on the surface of gallium antimonide wafers, the performance of epitaxial devices will be affected. However, during the processing of gallium antimonide wafers, twins on the wafer surface can only be observed after cleaning. On the one hand, the wafer will be degrade...
