Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a method for preparing a high thermal conductivity diamond polycrystalline substrate, belonging to the technical field of diamond polycrystalline substrates. Background Art
[0002] As power electronic devices and optical devices develop towards high power, integration, and miniaturization, the devices will generate a lot of heat during operation. If the heat cannot be effectively dissipated, the device temperature will rise rapidly, leading to aging of materials and devices, performance degradation, and even failure. The development of heat dissipation substrates with high thermal conductivity can effectively remove the heat generated by the device, thereby ensuring the effective operation of the device.
[0003] The development of polycrystalline diamond substrates as heat sink substrates is of great significance, mainly reflected in their excellent thermal conductivity and thermal management capabilities. Diamond has the highest thermal conductivity in nature, which can effectively dissipate heat and significantly improve the reliability and performance of high-power electronic devices. In addition, diamond also shows excellent stability in extreme environments such as high temperature, radiation resistance and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for aerospace, national defense and deep-sea exploration. With the advancement of technology and the reduction of costs, the development of polycrystalline diamond heat sink substrates will help improve the power density and heat dissipation performance of devices, and promote the widespread application of high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices.
[0004] Existing polycrystalline diamond substrates are generally grown heteroepitaxially on silicon substrates. Due to the low thermal conductivity of silicon and poor compatibility with the diamond lattice, the grains are not uniform and cracks are easily generated during large-scale heteroepitaxial growth. In addition, when obtaining diamond from a silicon-based diamond substrate, the silicon base is often removed through thinning or chemical etching, which further increases the difficulty of preparing a self-supporting polycrystalline diamond substrate. In addition, energy waste and environmental pollution will occur during the silicon base removal process. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, a method for preparing a high thermal conductivity diamond polycrystalline substrate is provided. The method can improve the thermal conductivity and thermal conductivity uniformity of the diamond polycrystalline substrate and improve the commercial application prospects of the diamond polycrystalline substrate by growing the diamond polycrystalline substrate on the carbon surface of the etched silicon carbide substrate.
[0006] The present application provides a method for preparing a high thermal conductivity diamond polycrystalline substrate, which comprises the steps of:
[0007] (1) Preparation before growth: Etching the carbon surface of the silicon carbide substrate;
[0008] (2) Diamond polycrystalline substrate growth: Methane is used as the reaction gas, hydrogen is used as the carrier gas, and oxygen is used as the auxiliary gas. The diamond polycrystalline substrate is grown on the carbon surface of the etched silicon carbide substrate in stages I to III using chemical vapor deposition.
[0009] Stage I: hydrogen and methane are introduced at 1000-1100°C for 4-5 hours.
[0010] Stage II: hydrogen, methane and oxygen are introduced at 600-800°C for 20-30 hours of growth.
[0011] Stage III: introducing hydrogen, methane and oxygen at 950-1050°C for 150-300 hours of growth;
[0012] (3) In-situ annealing self-stripping: After the growth is completed, the temperature is lowered to separate the diamond polycrystalline substrate and the silicon carbide substrate in situ, thus obtaining a high thermal conductivity diamond polycrystalline substrate.
[0013] The preparation method is to grow a diamond polycrystalline substrate on the carbon surface of a silicon carbide substrate with a specific surface state. The silicon carbide substrate serves as a growth substrate and provides a favorable environment for the deposition of diamond polycrystalline, so that the diamond grains formed in step (2) are all crystallized along the (001) plane, and the grains are evenly arranged, and the axial deviation angle of the grains is small. The microstructure of the grains can effectively reduce the transmission loss of phonons and photons, and realize the improvement and uniform distribution of the thermal conductivity and transmittance of the polycrystalline substrate. In step (3), in-situ annealing self-stripping is adopted, which can make the silicon carbide substrate and the diamond polycrystalline substrate peel off under the difference of thermal expansion coefficient, and obtain a diamond polycrystalline substrate with uniform morphology.
[0014] The three steps of the above-mentioned preparation method work together, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the microscopic grains of the diamond polycrystalline substrate, avoiding damage to the outer surface of the diamond polycrystalline substrate and introducing other defects such as stress, thereby obtaining a diamond polycrystalline substrate with high thermal conductivity and transmittance, and a thermal expansion coefficient that is more compatible with the chip.
[0015] Optionally, in stage I, the amount of hydrogen used is 300-1000 sccm, and the amount of methane used is 5%-7% of the amount of hydrogen used.
[0016] Optionally, in stage II, the amount of hydrogen used is 300-1000 sccm, the amount of methane used is 3%-4% of the amount of hydrogen used, and the amount of oxygen used is 0.1-0.2% of the amount of hydrogen used.
[0017] Optionally, in stage III, the amount of hydrogen used is 300-1000 sccm, the amount of methane used is 4%-7% of the amount of hydrogen used, and the amount of oxygen used is 0.1-0.2% of the amount of hydrogen used.
[0018] The diamond polycrystalline substrate grows in three stages. In stage I, the growth temperature is high and the methane content is high, which can quickly form nuclei and increase the nucleation density, facilitating the subsequent in-situ annealing and stripping. Oxygen is not introduced because the etching of the silicon carbide substrate is reduced to prevent the newly formed diamond and silicon carbide from forming a mortise and tenon structure. In stage II, the growth temperature is reduced and the amount of methane is reduced, which can obtain small and uniform diamond grains, improve the transmittance, thermal conductivity and uniformity of the diamond polycrystalline substrate, and lay a good foundation for the subsequent growth of diamond polycrystalline in stage III. In stage III, the temperature is increased and the amount of methane is increased, which can uniformly deposit diamond polycrystalline on the basis of stage II to obtain a diamond polycrystalline substrate with a more uniform grain arrangement and a more uniform grain size, improve the thermal conductivity and transmittance of the diamond polycrystalline substrate, and achieve a uniform distribution of thermal conductivity and transmittance.
[0019] If the growth temperature of stage III is too high, the growing diamond polycrystalline grains will be unevenly arranged, so the uniformity of the thermal conductivity, transmittance and thermal expansion coefficient of the diamond polycrystalline substrate will decrease, and amorphous carbon will be easily generated, resulting in black spots in the diamond polycrystalline substrate.
[0020] Among the above three gases, hydrogen is used as a carrier gas to drive methane gas to deposit and form grains and to drive borane to dope, so as to obtain a high-quality diamond polycrystalline substrate. In the three stages: if the amount of hydrogen is increased, the quality of the diamond polycrystalline substrate will not be improved much, but it will cause an increase in cost. If the amount of hydrogen is reduced, amorphous carbon will be generated, so that black spot defects will be generated in the diamond polycrystalline substrate, affecting the use of the substrate. The addition of oxygen in stage II and stage III can also inhibit the formation of amorphous carbon, thereby inhibiting the generation of black spot defects. If the amount of oxygen is increased, the etching rate of the diamond surface will be enhanced, and the growth rate of the diamond polycrystalline substrate will be reduced. If the amount of oxygen is reduced, black spot defects will appear. In addition, the amount of hydrogen and oxygen mentioned above can not only improve the uniformity of the distribution of methane during growth, so that a uniform diamond polycrystalline substrate can be uniformly deposited on the silicon carbide substrate, but also improve the consistency of the growth temperature field in step (2), reduce the temperature difference between the edge and the center, and thus obtain a diamond polycrystalline substrate with a high degree of consistency.
[0021] Optionally, step (3) is divided into two stages, wherein the first stage: after the growth is stopped, the introduction of methane is stopped and the temperature is first lowered to 600-750° C.;
[0022] Stage 2: Stop the oxygen supply and continue to cool to room temperature.
[0023] The present application adopts two-step cooling to perform in-situ annealing, which can realize the separation of the diamond polycrystalline substrate from the silicon carbide substrate, reduce the internal stress of the diamond polycrystalline substrate, and improve the self-supporting property of the diamond polycrystalline substrate.
[0024] In the first stage, the introduction of methane is stopped, while hydrogen and oxygen are introduced normally. This setting can remove non-sp3 carbon on the surface of the diamond substrate and reduce surface defects.
[0025] Optionally, the cooling rate in the first stage is 5-20°C / min.
[0026] Optionally, the cooling rate in the second stage is 50-100° C. / min.
[0027] The cooling rate in the first stage is lower than that in the second stage because the stress in the diamond polycrystalline substrate is released in the first stage, the shrinkage consistency of the diamond polycrystalline substrate is improved, and the foundation is laid for the in-situ stripping after the second stage cooling. The faster cooling rate in the second stage is to increase the shrinkage difference between the diamond polycrystalline substrate and the silicon carbide substrate, which is convenient for the rapid stripping of the two. At the same time, the stripping consistency of the contact interface between the diamond polycrystalline substrate and the silicon carbide substrate is high, which avoids damage to the surface of the diamond polycrystalline substrate and improves the surface quality of the diamond polycrystalline substrate. In addition, the cooling rates in the above two stages can also cooperate with each other to reduce defects and warpage in the diamond polycrystalline substrate to obtain a high-quality diamond polycrystalline substrate.
[0028] Optionally, in step (1), the carbon surface roughness of silicon carbide is Ra≤1 nm.
[0029] The above etching process makes the carbon surface of the silicon carbide substrate have a specific surface state. The surface roughness is convenient for the diamond polycrystalline substrate to form nuclei for growth, and is beneficial to the crystallization and uniform arrangement of the diamond grains (001) plane, thereby obtaining a diamond polycrystalline substrate with high thermal conductivity, transmittance and better uniformity.
[0030] Optionally, the thickness of the diamond polycrystalline substrate grown in step (2) is ≥ 400 μm.
[0031] The thickness of the diamond polycrystalline substrate can ensure that the diamond polycrystalline substrate has self-supporting performance, thereby improving the performance of the diamond polycrystalline substrate.
[0032] Optionally, the cooling rate of step (3) is 50 to 100° C. / min.
[0033] Optionally, the etching in step (1) is performed in a hydrogen-oxygen plasma atmosphere, the surface temperature of the silicon carbide substrate is 950-1050° C., and the etching time is 0.5-2 h.
[0034] Optionally, in the hydrogen-oxygen plasma atmosphere, 1%≤O2:H2≤4%.
[0035] Specifically, hydrogen and oxygen are used as reaction gases, and the hydrogen and oxygen gas molecules are ionized into a plasma state, generating a large number of high-energy electrons, ions and free radicals. The active free radicals undergo oxidation and reduction reactions with the surface of silicon carbide, and the high-energy ions physically bombard the surface of silicon carbide. By limiting the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen, the etching time, and the surface temperature of silicon carbide, efficient and controllable etching can be achieved.
[0036] The beneficial effects of this application include but are not limited to:
[0037] 1. The method for preparing a high thermal conductivity diamond polycrystalline substrate of the present application can grow diamond polycrystalline with small and uniform grain size on a silicon carbide substrate, and obtain a diamond polycrystalline substrate with self-supporting properties, which meets the application performance of the diamond polycrystalline substrate such as heat sink and optical window.
[0038] 2. The method for preparing a high thermal conductivity diamond polycrystalline substrate of the present application uses methane as a reaction gas. By controlling the gas flow rate and process mode, the thermal conductivity and transmittance of the substrate can be improved, and the decrease in the thermal expansion coefficient can be suppressed as much as possible, so as to obtain a diamond polycrystalline substrate that is more compatible with the chip and has better heat dissipation.
[0039] 3. The method for preparing a high thermal conductivity diamond polycrystalline substrate of the present application, in step (2), during the growth of the diamond polycrystalline substrate, the uniformity of grain size and arrangement can be achieved during the growth process, thereby improving the distribution uniformity of thermal conductivity, light transmittance and thermal expansion coefficient. The difference between the edge and the center of the diamond polycrystalline substrate is reduced, and there is no need to remove the edge portion when using the diamond gold substrate, thereby effectively increasing the usable area of the diamond polycrystalline substrate.
[0040] 4. The method for preparing a high thermal conductivity diamond polycrystalline substrate of the present application has no black spots formed in the prepared diamond polycrystalline substrate, thereby improving the quality of the diamond polycrystalline substrate.
[0041] 5. The method for preparing a high thermal conductivity diamond polycrystalline substrate of the present application realizes separation of the silicon carbide substrate and the grown diamond polycrystalline substrate by in-situ annealing self-stripping, which can not only improve the operational convenience of the preparation method, but also reduce the impact of annealing on the diamond polycrystalline substrate, and avoid introducing thermal stress or other defects into the diamond polycrystalline substrate.
