Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to the field of crystal synthesis, and more particularly to gallium arsenide single crystals and methods for producing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is an important semiconductor material possessing high speed, high frequency, high temperature resistance, and low noise properties. Compared to silicon single crystal, gallium arsenide has higher mobility and better photoelectric performance, and is currently widely used in microelectronics and optoelectronics.
[0003] In conventional n-type gallium arsenide single crystal growth techniques, VGF / VB (vertical gradient solidification / vertical Britschmann method) is typically used. Since boron oxide is required as a coating and wetting agent in the n-type gallium arsenide single crystal growth process, the reaction vessel PBN (pyrolysis boron nitride), gallium arsenide, and boron oxide used in VGF form a wetted surface. Simultaneously, to improve the carrier concentration, a silicon element, acting as a dopant, is added to the n-type gallium arsenide single crystal growth process. However, the following reaction occurs between the silicon element and boron oxide: The image JPEG0007834386000001.jpg566 contains a large amount of element B, which contaminates the gallium arsenide single crystal produced, thus reducing the performance of the gallium arsenide single crystal. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0004] To reduce the possibility of contamination from B during the manufacturing of gallium arsenide single crystals and to improve the performance of gallium arsenide single crystals, this application provides gallium arsenide single crystals and a method for manufacturing the same. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a gallium arsenide single crystal using the following technical solution.
[0006] A gallium arsenide single crystal, wherein the gallium arsenide single crystal has a carrier concentration of 1×10 18 ~4×10 18 / cm 3 , a mobility of 1700 - 2600 cm 2 / v·s, and at the same Si carrier concentration, the B atom density of the gallium arsenide single crystal produced with an Si x As y compound as a dopant is at least 20% less than the B atom density of the gallium arsenide single crystal produced with elemental Si as a dopant, and the B content of the gallium arsenide single crystal ≦ 5×10 18 / cm 3 .
[0007] In the conventional manufacturing technology of gallium arsenide single crystals, elemental Si, boron oxide, and gallium arsenide polycrystals are co-doped. On the other hand, in the present application, first, the Si element is converted into an Si x As y compound, and then the growth process of the gallium arsenide single crystal is carried out. Among the produced gallium arsenide single crystals, the effective ratio of silicon is higher, and the B element is less likely to contaminate the gallium arsenide single crystal. At the same Si carrier concentration, the B content in the gallium arsenide single crystal produced with an Si x As y compound as a dopant is lower. And the higher the Si carrier concentration, the more significant the effect.
[0008] <照 In addition, the gallium arsenide single crystal produced in the present application has a mobility improved by at least 20% compared to the manufacturing process of the conventional gallium arsenide single crystal at the same carrier concentration, and the optoelectronic performance of the single crystal is excellent.
[0009] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for manufacturing a gallium arsenide single crystal using the following technical solution.
[0010] Note: There seems to be a formatting issue with the tag <照 which might be a misprint. It's left as-is in the translation.A method for producing a gallium arsenide single crystal, wherein, before growing the gallium arsenide single crystal, Si is used in the following manner. x As y The process includes distributing the compound in polycrystalline gallium arsenide, Method 1 is Si x As y The compound was synthesized simultaneously during the gallium arsenide polycrystalline synthesis stage, and then single crystals were grown. Method 2 involves first Si x As y Synthesize the compound, and further Si x As y The compound and the raw material, polycrystalline gallium arsenide, are placed in a single crystal growth vessel, and a single crystal is grown.
[0011] In this application, Si x As y The compound, as a dopant, is more Si than the conventional dopant element Si. x As y The silicon valency of the compound increases, which helps to increase the probability that silicon occupies the gallium site, and thus the following reaction occurs: The execution of JPEG0007834386000002.jpg566 is suppressed, and thus the gallium arsenide single crystal becomes less susceptible to contamination by B, resulting in a B content that is lower than the Si content. At the same carrier concentration, the mobility of the single crystal produced in this application is 20% higher than that of a gallium arsenide single crystal produced with elemental Si as a dopant.

(2) Baking of materials: The first PBN boat and the second PBN boat are baked in a vacuum environment, with a vacuum level of 1 × 10⁻⁶. -4 ~9×10 -2 Set to Pa and bake for 2-4 hours. (3)Si x As y Synthesis of compound-containing gallium arsenide polycrystalline material: After treating a quartz tube by welding it in a furnace, the first PBN boat is heated to 620-660°C, and the second PBN boat is heated to 1200-1400°C and kept warm for 2-4 hours, and gallium arsenide polycrystalline material and Si x As y The compound is synthesized, and the temperature gradient is controlled so that the temperature of the second PBN boat decreases in a gradient from start to finish, with a temperature drop gradient of 2-4°C / cm. (4) Extraction of polycrystalline material: Si x As y We extracted the gallium arsenide polycrystalline material containing the compound. (5) Single crystal growth: Fabricated Si x As y A polycrystalline gallium arsenide containing a compound and boron oxide are placed in a single-crystal growth container and then placed in a furnace to grow the crystals.
[0013] By using the above technical solution, the element Si can be simultaneously synthesized during the synthesis of gallium arsenide polycrystals. x As y It can be converted into a compound, Si x As y The compound and the gallium arsenide polycrystal do not need to be formed in stages.
[0014] Preferably, the weight ratio of silicon to gallium to be doped in the filling step is (1-1.2):10000.
[0015] If you select Method 2, the specific steps are as follows: S1, Si x As y compound synthesis (1) Filling: High-purity arsenic and high-purity silicon are placed in the first quartz boat and the second quartz boat in a weight ratio of (0.5-5):1, respectively. (2) Baking of materials: The first quartz boat and the second quartz boat are baked in a vacuum environment, with a vacuum level of 1 × 10⁻⁶. -4 ~9×10 -2 Set to Pa and bake for 2-4 hours. (3) Synthetic Si x As y Compound: Heat the first quartz boat to 650-700°C, heat the second quartz boat to 1050-1450°C, maintain temperature for 2-4 minutes, Si x As y The compound was synthesized, and the temperature of the second quartz boat was lowered using a temperature gradient, with the temperature gradient set to 5-8°C / cm. S2, single crystal growth Manufactured Si x As y The compound, polycrystalline gallium arsenide, and boron oxide are placed in a single-crystal growth vessel and then placed in a furnace to grow the crystals.
[0016] Using the above technical solution, According to the reaction principle of JPEG0007834386000003.jpg452, Si x As y To manufacture compounds, Si x As y We will jointly acquire polycrystalline gallium arsenide as a raw material to further improve the performance of gallium arsenide single crystals.

[0019] Preferably, in step S2, Si x As y The weight ratio of the compound, gallium arsenide polycrystalline, and boron oxide when mixed is (0.2~2):10000:(15~100). [Effects of the Invention]
[0020] In short, this application has the following beneficial effects.
[0021] In this application, instead of the element Si, Si x As y By using a compound as a dopant and adding it to a polycrystalline gallium arsenide before the growth of a gallium arsenide single crystal, Si x As y The higher silicon valency of the compound helps increase the probability that silicon will occupy the gallium sites, thus reducing the likelihood of boron dissolution contaminating gallium arsenide single crystals and increasing the carrier concentration of the fabricated gallium arsenide single crystals to 1 × 10⁻¹⁰. 18 ~4×10 18 / cm 3 This allows for a lower content of B at the same carrier concentration, i.e., Si x As y The B atom density of gallium arsenide single crystals produced using a compound dopant is at least 20% lower than that of gallium arsenide single crystals produced using elemental silicon as a dopant. Furthermore, this effect becomes more pronounced as the Si carrier concentration increases. Simultaneously, the crystal's mobility increases at the same carrier concentration. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0022] In the conventional manufacturing process for n-type photoelectric semiconductor gallium arsenide, elemental silicon (Si) is the main dopant. However, using elemental Si as a dopant inevitably leads to the introduction of a large amount of B melt, resulting in contamination of the manufactured gallium arsenide single crystal wafers with B, and a decrease in the electrical performance of the gallium arsenide single crystal wafers.
[0023] Over many years, scientists have conducted extensive research on the manufacturing process of gallium arsenide single crystals. As a result, it has been discovered that the atomic radius of Si is close to that of As and Ga, given that the atomic radius of Si is 113 pm (covalent radius), the atomic radius of As is 120 pm, and the atomic radius of Ga is 126 pm. Therefore, in gallium arsenide materials, Si can potentially act as a donor impurity in place of Ga atoms, and as an acceptor impurity in place of As atoms. Si can exist in various locations within the crystal, specifically, as silicon replaces gallium sites (Si Ga), b, silicon replacing arsenic sites (Si As ), c) The silicon pendant is located near a grain boundary or a large grain dislocation and does not occupy a lattice position.
[0024] For the reasons stated above, the applicant has chosen to use Si instead of Si x As y By using a compound as a dopant, it is added to the gallium arsenide polycrystalline material before the growth of the gallium arsenide single crystal, increasing the valence of Si, and thus increasing the probability that silicon will occupy the gallium sites. JPEG0007834386000004.jpg6128 Suppresses the execution of the reaction, reduces the possibility of element B entering the solubility, and the B impurity content in the produced gallium arsenide single crystal is 5 × 10 18 / cm 3 The concentration decreases to the following level. This solution is particularly suitable for situations with high carrier concentrations, especially when silicon-doped carrier concentrations are 1 × 10⁻⁶. 18 / cm 3 It is suitable for situations larger than the specified value. At the same carrier concentration, the mobility of the crystals produced in this application is more than 20% higher than that of gallium arsenide single crystals produced with elemental silicon as a dopant.
