Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of transfer of semiconductor devices, and in particular relates to a transfer method of an epitaxial layer film and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of microelectronics and optoelectronics technology, the demand for high-performance semiconductor materials is growing. Gallium nitride (GaN), as a wide-bandgap semiconductor material, has shown great application potential in high-power, high-frequency and high-temperature electronic devices and optoelectronic devices due to its excellent electronic properties and physical stability. However, the preparation and application of GaN face some challenges, especially in substrate selection and device integration.
[0003] Traditional GaN epitaxy usually uses sapphire (Al2O3) and silicon carbide (SiC) as substrate materials. Sapphire is widely used in the LED field due to its excellent optical properties, while silicon carbide has become the preferred substrate for electronic devices due to its lattice constant and thermal conductivity similar to GaN. However, these materials also have some limitations: 1. Cost issues: The cost of sapphire and SiC substrates is relatively high, which limits the widespread application and cost-effectiveness of GaN-based devices. 2. Wafer size limitation: Compared with silicon substrates, the wafer size of sapphire and SiC substrates is smaller, which affects production efficiency and large-scale production. 3. Processing difficulty: Sapphire has a high hardness and is difficult to process, and the processing cost of SiC is also relatively high.
[0004] In response to these challenges, researchers began to explore methods for epitaxial growth and transfer of GaN on silicon (Si) substrates. Silicon substrates have the following advantages: 1. Cost-effectiveness: The production cost of silicon substrates is low, which helps to reduce overall manufacturing costs. 2. Wafer size: Silicon substrates can provide larger wafer sizes, which is conducive to improving production efficiency. 3. Thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity of silicon is better than sapphire and close to SiC, which helps to improve the heat dissipation performance of the device. 4. Processing compatibility: The processing technology of silicon substrates is mature, which facilitates subsequent device processing and integration. 5. Environmentally friendly: The recycling and reuse of silicon materials are more mature, which is conducive to reducing environmental impact.
[0005] However, in the traditional epitaxial layer transfer process, the use of high-power lasers may cause local overheating of the material, resulting in thermal damage, and defect states caused by the interaction between the laser and the material, which will affect the performance of the device. In addition, due to the limitations of lattice mismatch and growth conditions, the epitaxial layer is prone to stress during the transfer process, which may cause material cracks or device performance degradation.
[0006] Therefore, developing a transfer method that can effectively reduce laser damage and stress damage during the transfer of epitaxial thin films is an issue that needs to be urgently addressed in this field. Summary of the invention
