[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Semiconductor devices are common functional electronic devices that are widely used in various sub-fields.

[0051] In related technologies, GaN, as a typical representative of III-V compound semiconductors, is the third-generation semiconductor material following Si and GaAs. It possesses excellent properties such as a large bandgap, strong breakdown electric field, high electron mobility, and good thermal stability. The epitaxial layer of nitride semiconductor devices mainly consists of a nitride semiconductor layer grown on a substrate.

[0052] However, due to the large lattice mismatch between the substrate and the nitride semiconductor layer, the epitaxial film may exhibit cracks and uneven surface morphology.

[0053] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a nitride semiconductor device with a composite buffer layer. Figure 1 See the schematic diagram of the structure of this nitride semiconductor device. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the nitride semiconductor device includes a substrate 10 and a nitride semiconductor layer 80.

[0054] The composite buffer layer 20 includes a nucleation layer 210, a buffer layer 220, and a stress-adjusting layer 230 grown sequentially. Since the nitride semiconductor device provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure includes a composite buffer layer 20, the composite buffer layer 20 includes a nucleation layer 210, a buffer layer 220, and a stress-adjusting layer 230 grown sequentially.

[0055] For the nucleation layer 210, the nucleation layer 210 provides a nucleation center with the same orientation as the substrate 10, which reduces the problem of lattice mismatch between the substrate 10 and the nitride semiconductor layer 80 and is more conducive to axial three-dimensional island growth.

[0056] For the buffer layer 220, the buffer layer 220 can fill Ga vacancies and merge with the three-dimensional islands to form a high-quality buffer layer 220, which further reduces the lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch between the buffer layer 220 and the substrate 10, and plays the role of blocking the underlying defects, thereby reducing the generation of dislocations and cracks.

[0057] As for the stress adjustment layer 230, the stress adjustment layer 230 forms a lattice constant matching relationship with the nitride semiconductor layer 80, and can be used as a lattice mismatch stress relief layer, thereby achieving low stress, no cracks and bending inside the nitride semiconductor layer 80, thus improving the lattice mismatch problem of the substrate 10, controlling the corresponding epitaxial wafer stress, and thus improving the yield and optoelectronic performance of the epitaxial wafer.

[0058] In other words, the combination of nucleation layer 210, buffer layer 220 and stress adjustment layer 230 reduces the problem of lattice mismatch.

[0059] In this embodiment, the growth thickness of the nucleation layer 210 is 30-50 nm, the growth thickness of the buffer layer 220 is 10-20 nm, and the growth thickness of the stress adjustment layer 230 is 0.1-0.6 μm.

[0060] In the above implementation, the thicknesses of the nucleation layer 210, the buffer layer 220, and the stress adjustment layer 230 are designed to the values ​​mentioned above, which can ensure their respective functionality, improve growth efficiency, and reduce preparation costs.

[0061] Therefore, the nucleation layer 210, buffer layer 220, and stress adjustment layer 230 play a crucial role in reducing lattice mismatch. The nucleation layer 210, buffer layer 220, and stress adjustment layer 230 will be described in detail below.

[0062] In this embodiment, the nucleation layer 210 is a periodically stacked Al a N 1-a / In b N 1-b Layer (0<a<1; 0<b<1).

[0063] For nucleation layer 210, since nucleation layer 210 is a periodically stacked Al a N 1-a / In b N 1-b In the N-type layer 30, AlN provides nucleation centers with the same orientation as the substrate 10, reducing the lattice mismatch problem between the substrate 10 and the N-type layer 30. In addition, InN is more conducive to axial three-dimensional island growth than GaN in the N-type layer 30, and In atoms can generate tensile stress, which alleviates warping and makes the three-dimensional cell distribution more uniform.

[0064] In this embodiment, the buffer layer 220 is an N-type Al c Ga 1-c N layers (0 < c < 1).

[0065] For buffer layer 220, since buffer layer 220 is an N-type Al c Ga 1-c The N layer, with its smaller Al atoms, can fill Ga vacancies and merge with the three-dimensional islands to form a high-quality buffer layer 220. This further reduces lattice and thermal mismatches with the substrate 10, blocks the effects of underlying defects, and thus reduces the generation of dislocations and cracks.

[0066] In this embodiment, the stress-adjusting layer 230 is a periodically stacked In d Ga 1-d N / GaN layer (0 < d < 1)

[0067] For the stress-adjusting layer 230, since the stress-adjusting layer 230 is a periodically stacked In d Ga 1-d N / GaN layer, so through In d Ga 1-d The N-type layer 30 forms a lattice constant matching relationship with the N-type layer 30, which can be used as a lattice mismatch stress relief layer. This achieves low stress, no cracks or bending inside the N-type layer 30, thereby improving the lattice mismatch problem of the substrate 10, controlling the corresponding epitaxial wafer stress, and thus improving the yield and optoelectronic performance of the epitaxial wafer.

[0068] In other words, the combination of nucleation layer 210, buffer layer 220 and stress adjustment layer 230 reduces the problem of lattice mismatch.

[0069] In this embodiment, the nitride semiconductor layer 80 includes an N-type layer 30, a multiple quantum well layer 40, and a P-type layer 50 stacked sequentially.

[0070] In some examples, the N-type layer 30 is a heavily Si-doped N-type GaN layer with a growth thickness of 3–4 μm.

[0072] In some examples, the P-type layer 50 is a Mg-doped P-type GaN layer with a growth thickness of 100–750 nm.

[0073] In this embodiment, the nitride semiconductor device further includes an electron blocking layer 60, which is grown on the side of the multiple quantum well layer 40 facing away from the substrate 10.

[0074] For example, the electron blocking layer 60 is a p-type AlGaN layer, and the growth thickness of the electron blocking layer 60 is 100-450 nm.

[0075] In this embodiment, the nitride semiconductor device further includes a P-type contact layer 70, which is grown on the side of the P-type layer 50 that is away from the substrate 10.

[0076] For example, the P-type contact layer 70 is a Mg-doped P-type GaN layer.

[0086] For the nucleation layer 210, the nucleation layer 210 provides a nucleation center with the same orientation as the substrate 10, which reduces the problem of lattice mismatch between the substrate 10 and the nitride semiconductor layer 80 and is more conducive to axial three-dimensional island growth.

[0087] For the buffer layer 220, the buffer layer 220 can fill Ga vacancies and merge with the three-dimensional islands to form a high-quality buffer layer 220, which further reduces the lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch between the buffer layer 220 and the substrate 10, and plays the role of blocking the underlying defects, thereby reducing the generation of dislocations and cracks.

[0088] As for the stress adjustment layer 230, the stress adjustment layer 230 forms a lattice constant matching relationship with the nitride semiconductor layer 80, and can be used as a lattice mismatch stress relief layer, thereby achieving low stress, no cracks and bending inside the nitride semiconductor layer 80, thus improving the lattice mismatch problem of the substrate 10, controlling the corresponding epitaxial wafer stress, and thus improving the yield and optoelectronic performance of the epitaxial wafer.

[0089] In other words, the combination of nucleation layer 210, buffer layer 220 and stress adjustment layer 230 reduces the problem of lattice mismatch.

[0090] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for fabricating a nitride semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This method is used to fabricate... Figure 1 The nitride semiconductor device shown is described in the following document. Figure 3 In this embodiment, the preparation method includes:

[0091] Step 301: Provide a substrate 10.

[0092] For example, the substrate 10 is heated to 1000-1200°C for surface cleaning treatment for 5-10 minutes.

[0097] Step 304: Grow a stress-regulating layer 230 on one side of the buffer layer 220.

[0098] In step 304, the growth temperature of the stress-regulating layer 230 is set to 700–900°C, and the growth pressure is set to 100–500 torr, to grow periodically stacked In layers with a thickness of 0.1–0.6 μm. d Ga 1-d N / GaN layer.

[0099] In this embodiment, through steps 302-304, a composite buffer layer 20 can be grown on one side of the substrate 10.

[0101] For nucleation layer 210, since nucleation layer 210 is a periodically stacked Al a N 1-a / In b N 1-b In the N-type layer 30, AlN provides nucleation centers with the same orientation as the substrate 10, reducing the lattice mismatch problem between the substrate 10 and the N-type layer 30. In addition, InN is more conducive to axial three-dimensional island growth than GaN in the N-type layer 30, and In atoms can generate tensile stress, which alleviates warping and makes the three-dimensional cell distribution more uniform.

[0102] For buffer layer 220, since buffer layer 220 is an N-type Al c Ga 1-c The N layer, with its smaller Al atoms, can fill Ga vacancies and merge with the three-dimensional islands to form a high-quality buffer layer 220. This further reduces lattice and thermal mismatches with the substrate 10, blocks the effects of underlying defects, and thus reduces the generation of dislocations and cracks.

[0103] For the stress-adjusting layer 230, since the stress-adjusting layer 230 is a periodically stacked In d Ga 1-d N / GaN layer, so through In d Ga 1-d The N-type layer 30 forms a lattice constant matching relationship with the N-type layer 30, which can be used as a lattice mismatch stress relief layer. This achieves low stress, no cracks or bending inside the N-type layer 30, thereby improving the lattice mismatch problem of the substrate 10, controlling the corresponding epitaxial wafer stress, and thus improving the yield and optoelectronic performance of the epitaxial wafer.

[0104] In other words, the combination of nucleation layer 210, buffer layer 220 and stress adjustment layer 230 reduces the problem of lattice mismatch.

[0105] Step 305: Grow an N-type layer 30 on one side of the stress-adjusting layer 230.
