Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular, to a gallium oxide semiconductor material based on a structured substrate and a growth method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a new type of wide-bandgap semiconductor material, gallium oxide (Ga2O3) has the advantages of a large bandgap, a high breakdown field strength, and a large Baliga figure of merit, and has broad application prospects in the fields of power electronic devices, deep ultraviolet optoelectronic devices, etc. However, the growth of gallium oxide single crystal materials is difficult, and the dislocation density is high, which severely restricts the improvement of their device performance.
[0003] At present, the epitaxial growth of gallium oxide thin films mainly adopts two methods: homoepitaxy and heteroepitaxy. Homoepitaxy needs to be carried out on a gallium oxide single crystal substrate, with high costs; heteroepitaxy, on the other hand, faces problems such as large lattice mismatch and large differences in thermal expansion coefficients, resulting in poor quality of the epitaxial layer and high dislocation density.
[0004] In addition, although the method of using a patterned substrate is expected to improve the quality of the epitaxial layer, it still faces a series of problems in practical applications. For example, the patterned structure on the substrate surface may cause uneven nucleation of the gallium oxide layer during the growth process, affecting the thickness uniformity and crystal quality of the thin film. Moreover, the processing technology of the patterned substrate is complex and costly, further restricting its large-scale application. Therefore, how to solve the related problems and improve the quality of the gallium oxide epitaxial layer has become one of the bottlenecks restricting the wide application of gallium oxide materials. At present, there is an urgent need to provide a new growth method for gallium oxide semiconductor materials. Summary of the Invention
