Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor, in particular to a method for epitaxial growth of a molybdenum-based composite substrate. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gallium nitride (GaN) is the representative of the third generation of semiconductor materials due to its stable chemical properties, thermal stability, high temperature resistance and other advantages. Since the forbidden band width covers the entire wave band from ultraviolet to infrared, it is widely used in solid-state lighting field and full-color display area. There are various substrate materials for preparing light-emitting diodes, such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), gallium arsenide (GaAs), etc. Although these materials have excellent performance, the manufacturing cost is high. Sapphire substrate is the earliest and most widely used substrate in the preparation of light-emitting diodes. However, the sapphire substrate material also has some weaknesses. The most obvious one is that there is a large lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch between sapphire and GaN. The large lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch will cause the GaN thin film material grown on the sapphire substrate to have a high dislocation density, and will also make the epitaxial layer more prone to warping and cracking, making the subsequent processing process difficult. Moreover, sapphire has high hardness, high cost of cutting and grinding processing, and poor heat dissipation, which seriously affects the performance of LED devices.

[0003] In the patent literature CN202189826U, a blue light LED epitaxial chip structure using molybdenum substrate to replace sapphire substrate is disclosed, which comprises molybdenum substrate, indium or molybdenum alloy layer, P+GaN contact layer, PAlGaN transition layer, InGaN / GaN light-emitting layer and N-GaN contact layer arranged in sequence. The molybdenum substrate is prepared by cutting the molybdenum substrate into the same size as the epitaxial wafer. Under certain conditions, the indium or molybdenum alloy is plated on the molybdenum substrate to form an indium or molybdenum alloy layer. Then the P+GaN contact layer of the sapphire substrate epitaxial wafer which has been prepared in advance is firmly bonded to the molybdenum substrate through the indium or molybdenum alloy layer. Finally, the sapphire substrate and the low-temperature GaN buffer layer are removed by laser stripping equipment, leaving the molybdenum substrate, i.e. the blue light LED epitaxial chip structure of the molybdenum substrate. Although this method improves the heat dissipation, it is complex to use laser cutting technology, and is only suitable for blue light LED epitaxial chip structure, with small application range. SUMMARY

[0009] growing an epitaxial layer on the buffer layer, the epitaxial layer comprising a roughening layer, an N-type gallium nitride layer, a multiple quantum well layer, and a P-type gallium nitride layer stacked in sequence.

Set the temperature of the reaction chamber to 975°C and the pressure to 800 mbar, and form a doped high-temperature P-type GaN layer on the superlattice layer by supplying 60000-75000 seem of NH3, 25-50 seem of TmGa2 and 2000-3000 seem of Cp2Mg, the thickness of the high-temperature P-type GaN layer being 60-90 nm, and the doping concentration of Mg being 1E+20-3E+20 atom / cm 3 .

[0104] In this way, the growth of the GaN-based epitaxial layer is completed.

[0105] The GaN-based epitaxial layer sample 1 produced in this example was compared with a conventional chip sample 2, as shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0110] It can be seen that the light flux of the LED chip produced by the embodiment is increased by about 5% compared with the light flux of the conventional chip in the prior art, and the heat conductivity and the service life of the LED chip are obviously improved.

[0112] Please refer to Figure 2 , using the epitaxial structure prepared by example one or example two or example three, comprising:

[0113] The molybdenum-graphene composite substrate 1, the aluminum nitride layer 2, the buffer layer 3, the U-shaped gallium nitride layer 4, the N-type gallium nitride layer 5, the multi-quantum well layer 6, the low-temperature P-type gallium nitride layer 7, the superlattice layer 8 and the high-temperature P-type gallium nitride layer 9 are sequentially stacked.

[0114] The thickness of the aluminum nitride layer 2 is 10-60nm; the thickness of the buffer layer 3 is 0.1-0.2μm; the thickness of the U-shaped gallium nitride layer 4 is 2-3μm; the thickness of the N-type gallium nitride layer 5 is 2-3μm; the thickness of the multi-quantum well layer 6 is 0.15-0.2μm; the thickness of the low-temperature P-type gallium nitride layer 7 is 60-90nm; the thickness of the superlattice layer 8 is 50-70nm; and the thickness of the high-temperature P-type gallium nitride layer 9 is 60-90nm.

[0115] In summary, the epitaxial growth method of the molybdenum-based composite substrate provided by the application evaporates a graphene layer on a molybdenum substrate to obtain a molybdenum-graphene composite substrate. Since the graphene surface does not contain chemical dangling bonds, defects caused by lattice adaptation can be avoided, and the problem of heteroepitaxial growth induced by substrate lattice mismatch can be solved. Therefore, using the molybdenum-graphene composite substrate as a substrate can reduce material defects, improve the quality of epitaxial crystals, and thus improve the photoelectric performance of the LED. An aluminum nitride layer and a buffer layer are sequentially prepared on the molybdenum-graphene composite substrate, and subsequent laser peeling of the substrate can be more easily performed, thereby manufacturing mini LED chips and Micro vertical structure LED chips, and realizing the application of gallium nitride LED products in flexible display, intelligent wearable devices and the like.
