Abstract
Description

In the existing epitaxial growth process, in order to accurately epitaxially grow a wavelength that meets the design requirements, a large number of calibrations are required in the early stage.

[0020] The reaction chamber has a chamber body and a chamber cover, and a heating base is provided inside the chamber body. During the service life of the reaction chamber, as the reaction chamber is used for a longer period of time, the by-product layer deposited on the front of the chamber cover gradually thickens, causing the overall distance between the chamber cover and the by-product layer and the heating base to become closer, causing the temperature of the front of the chamber cover to increase. The increase in the temperature of the chamber cover heated by the heating base has a great influence on the temperature field in the reaction chamber, further affecting the decomposition of the gas source, thereby causing the growth rate of the epitaxial material to accelerate and the wavelength of the epitaxial material to change. With the emergence of these changes, some necessary calibration and adjustments have to be re-performed before the full structure growth can continue, which will lead to an increase in manpower and material resources.

[0028] Step S3: obtaining a second function of the growth rate of the test semiconductor structure as a function of the temperature of the back side of the chamber cover;
[0029] Step S4: setting the set control temperature of the back side of the chamber cover according to the thickness of the byproduct layer on the front side of the chamber cover to stabilize the growth rate of the semiconductor structure, wherein the set control temperature of the back side of the chamber cover is controlled by cooling the proportion of gases with different thermal conductivities in the mixed gas.
[0030] In this embodiment, the set control temperature of the back of the cavity cover is set according to the thickness of the byproduct layer on the front of the cavity cover to stabilize the growth rate of the semiconductor structure, and the set control temperature of the back of the cavity cover is controlled by cooling the ratio of gases with different thermal conductivities in the mixed gas. Adjusting the set control temperature of the back of the cavity cover effectively affects the temperature inside the cavity body on the front side of the cavity cover, thereby stabilizing the growth rate of the semiconductor structure. When the semiconductor structure is a semiconductor light-emitting structure, the situation in which the light-emitting wavelength of the semiconductor structure shifts as the thickness of the byproduct layer on the front of the cavity cover increases can be quickly and easily corrected, stabilizing the light-emitting wavelength of the semiconductor structure to the target wavelength, achieving continuous and repeatable production while reducing calibration costs, and reducing the investment in manpower and material costs.
[0031] When the semiconductor structure is a semiconductor light-emitting structure, the wavelength deviation of the semiconductor structure can be adjusted timely and effectively, thereby improving the utilization rate of the machine and the continuous repetitive growth of the product, saving calibration time, and improving product productivity.

[0033] The test semiconductor structure includes: a test semiconductor substrate; a test semiconductor body located on one side of the test semiconductor substrate. The material of the test semiconductor substrate is the same as that of the semiconductor substrate. The test semiconductor body and the semiconductor body have the same structure. For example, when the test semiconductor structure and the semiconductor structure are both edge-emitting semiconductor lasers, the test semiconductor body includes a stacked test lower confinement layer, a test lower waveguide layer, a test active layer, a test upper waveguide layer and a test upper confinement layer, the test lower confinement layer and the lower confinement layer have the same material, the test lower waveguide layer and the lower waveguide layer have the same material, the test active layer and the active layer have the same material, the test upper waveguide layer and the upper waveguide layer have the same material, and the test upper confinement layer and the upper confinement layer have the same material.

The front side of the chamber cover faces the interior of the chamber body, and the back side of the chamber cover faces away from the interior of the chamber body. The reaction chamber also includes a base located inside the chamber body. When growing a semiconductor structure, a semiconductor substrate is placed on the base, and a reaction gas is introduced into the interior of the chamber body to grow a semiconductor body on the side of the semiconductor substrate away from the base.

It should be noted that other parameters of the growth process of the multiple test semiconductor structures are consistent, and other parameters include, for example, chamber pressure, temperature of the heating device, material of the reaction gas, and flow rate of the reaction gas.

[0048] In one embodiment, setting the set control temperature of the back side of the cavity cover according to the thickness of the byproduct layer on the front side of the cavity cover comprises: obtaining the nth thickness and the nth set control temperature of the byproduct layer on the front side of the cavity cover corresponding to the growth of the nth semiconductor structure; obtaining the n+1th thickness of the byproduct layer on the front side of the cavity cover corresponding to the growth of the n+1th semiconductor structure; obtaining the first change of the growth rate according to the thickness difference between the n+1th thickness and the nth thickness and the first function; obtaining the n+1th set control temperature set when the n+1th semiconductor structure grows according to the nth set control temperature, the first change and the second function; wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. When the thickness difference between the n+1th thickness and the nth thickness is positive, the first change is positive; when the thickness difference between the n+1th thickness and the nth thickness is negative, the first change is negative; when the thickness difference between the n+1th thickness and the nth thickness is zero, the first change is zero.
[0049] In one embodiment, the n+1th set control temperature set when the n+1th semiconductor structure grows is obtained according to the nth set control temperature, the first change and the second function, including: substituting the first change into the second function to obtain the difference between the nth set control temperature and the n+1th set control temperature; obtaining the n+1th set control temperature according to the nth set control temperature and the difference between the nth set control temperature and the n+1th set control temperature.

[0050] For example, the first thickness of the byproduct layer on the front side of the cavity cover corresponding to the growth of the first semiconductor structure and the first set control temperature are obtained; the second thickness of the byproduct layer on the front side of the cavity cover corresponding to the growth of the second semiconductor structure is obtained, when the second thickness is greater than the first thickness, the thickness difference between the n+1th thickness and the nth thickness is a positive number, and the first change is a positive number; the first change is substituted into the second function to obtain the difference between the first set control temperature and the second set control temperature, when the first change is a positive number, the difference between the first set control temperature and the second set control temperature is a positive number, and the second set control temperature is obtained according to the first set control temperature and the difference between the first set control temperature and the second set control temperature, and the second set control temperature is less than the first set control temperature.
[0051] In one embodiment, during the growth of any semiconductor structure, the temperature fluctuation of the back side of the chamber cover is controlled within the range of (set control temperature - 1°C) to (set control temperature + 1°C). This ensures that the temperature fluctuation inside the chamber body is small and stabilizes the growth rate of the semiconductor structure.
[0052] In one embodiment, the test semiconductor structure includes: a test semiconductor substrate; a test semiconductor body located on one side of the test semiconductor substrate; and obtaining a growth rate of the test semiconductor structure according to a growth thickness and a growth time of the test semiconductor body.

[0055] For semiconductor structures grown in different time periods in the reaction chamber, the set control temperature of the back side of the chamber cover corresponding to the semiconductor structures grown in different time periods can be set to be different. The set control temperature of the back side of the chamber cover corresponding to the semiconductor structures grown in the same time period can be stabilized at (set control temperature - 1°C) to (set control temperature + 1°C).
[0056] The cooling gas channel is used to pass a cooling mixed gas, which includes a first gas and a second gas with different thermal conductivities. When the total flow rate of the cooling mixed gas is fixed, the change in the first gas and the change in the cavity cover temperature change linearly, and the change in the second gas and the change in the cavity cover temperature change linearly.
