Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor material processing. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for bonding a seed crystal. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum nitride (AlN) crystal is an inorganic non-metallic material with various excellent properties and has important applications in many fields. The bandgap of AlN is about 6.2 eV and it is a direct bandgap, with good chemical stability and high thermal conductivity. AlN can be used to fabricate high-frequency, high-voltage, and high-temperature electronic devices; due to its good light transmittance in the ultraviolet band, it can be used to manufacture ultraviolet optoelectronic devices.

[0003] Silicon carbide (SiC) is also a wide-bandgap semiconductor material with high thermal conductivity, large bandgap, suitable for high-temperature high-power fields; its critical breakdown field strength is high, suitable for high-voltage fields; its saturated electron drift velocity is large, suitable for high-frequency fields. Silicon carbide can be applied to extreme environments that silicon-based semiconductors are not suitable for and is an ideal material for fabricating high-frequency, high-voltage, and high-power devices.

[0004] Whether it is aluminum nitride or silicon carbide, crystal growth requires a seed crystal to obtain large-size and high-quality single crystals. During crystal growth, a homoepitaxial seed crystal is the most ideal seed crystal. If a homoepitaxial seed crystal is lacking, a heteroepitaxial seed crystal can also be selected. Since the lattice mismatch between silicon carbide and aluminum nitride is small, silicon carbide can be used as a seed crystal for aluminum nitride crystal growth. Especially, the technology for growing silicon carbide crystals has developed rapidly, and large-size silicon carbide seed crystals are easily obtained. Using a silicon carbide seed crystal to grow large-size aluminum nitride crystals is a feasible technical route. During single crystal growth, the seed crystal needs to be fixed on a seed crystal holder and placed above the raw material. The seed crystal can be fixed by mechanical methods, but usually, the bonding method is adopted. Seed crystal bonding is a crucial step in crystal growth and directly affects the quality of the crystal. Currently, the conventional seed crystal bonding method is to coat an organic glue between the seed crystal and the seed crystal holder. Organic glues such as epoxy resin, phenolic resin, photoresist, glucose, etc. This bonding method has the disadvantages of uneven coating, shrinkage and outgassing of the colloid when heated, and it is very easy to form bubbles on the back of the seed crystal, resulting in uneven heat conduction of the seed crystal and easily causing problems such as seed crystal ablation and uneven growth.

[0005] The diameter of silicon carbide seed crystals has gradually developed from 4 inches to 12 inches, and the difficulty of seed crystal bonding increases exponentially with the increase in size. The main reason is that as the size increases, the unevenness of glue coating becomes more prominent. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new seed crystal bonding method. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for bonding a seed crystal.

[0070] (2) Apply hot pressing to the seed crystal and the graphite paper, with a pressure of 1000 N, heat from room temperature to 500 °C at a heating rate of 2 °C / min, and hold for 1 h at temperature points of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C; Slowly cool down to room temperature at a cooling rate of 1 °C / min;

[0071] (3) Lay a layer of polypropylene (PP) self-adhesive film flat on the seed crystal holder, and then place the aforementioned seed crystal with the graphite paper attached (graphite paper facing down) on the seed crystal holder (self-adhesive film facing up);

[0072] (4) Apply hot pressing again, with a pressure of 1000 N, heat from room temperature to 500 °C at a heating rate of 2 °C / min, and hold for 1 h at temperature points of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C; Slowly cool down to room temperature at a cooling rate of 1 °C / min.

[0076] The seed crystal bonding method in Example 3 includes the following steps:

[0077] (1) Lay a layer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) self-adhesive film with a thickness of 30 μm between the 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal and the graphite paper with a thickness of 0.3 mm;

[0078] (2) Hot press the seed crystal and the graphite paper, with a pressure magnitude of 2000 N, heat from room temperature to 500 °C, with a heating rate of 5 °C / min, and hold for 0.8 h at each temperature point of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C; slowly cool down to room temperature, with a cooling rate of 1 °C / min;

[0079] (3) Lay a layer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) self-adhesive film with a thickness of 30 μm on the seed crystal holder, and then place the aforementioned seed crystal with the graphite paper attached (graphite paper facing down) on the seed crystal holder (self-adhesive film facing up);

[0081] After hot pressing and carbonization, an adhesive layer is formed between the 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal and the graphite paper, and between the graphite paper and the seed crystal holder, firmly bonding the seed crystal to the graphite paper and the graphite paper to the seed crystal holder. The 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal is successfully bonded. The bonding effect is as shown in Figure 4 shown. It can be seen from Figure 4 that the fit between the graphite paper and the seed crystal and the fit between the seed crystal and the seed crystal holder are very tight, without bubbles, and the color is uniform.

[0082] Example 4

[0083] Similar to the seed crystal bonding process in Example 1, in Example 4, the seed crystal is a 2-inch AlN seed crystal, and the composition of the non-high-temperature-resistant organic self-adhesive film, the thickness of the graphite paper, the magnitude of the hot pressing pressure, the heating rate, the holding time at each temperature point of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C, and the cooling rate have all changed.

[0084] The seed crystal bonding method in Example 4 includes the following steps:

[0085] (1) Lay a 100-μm-thick polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) self-adhesive film flat between the 2-inch AlN seed crystal and the 1-mm-thick graphite paper;

[0086] (2) Perform hot pressing on the seed crystal and the graphite paper, with a pressure magnitude of 500 N, heat from room temperature to 500 °C, a heating rate of 10 °C / min, hold for 0.6 h at each temperature point of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C; slowly cool to room temperature, with a cooling rate of 5 °C / min;

[0087] (3) Lay a layer of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) self-adhesive film flat on the seed crystal holder, and then place the previously graphite paper-bonded seed crystal (graphite paper facing down) on the seed crystal holder (self-adhesive film facing up);

[0088] (4) Perform hot pressing again, with a pressure magnitude of 500 N, heat from room temperature to 500 °C, a heating rate of 10 °C / min, hold for 0.6 h at each temperature point of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C; slowly cool to room temperature, with a cooling rate of 5 °C / min.

[0089] After the self-adhesive film is hot-pressed and carbonized, a bonding layer is formed between the 2-inch aluminum nitride seed crystal and the graphite paper, and between the graphite paper and the seed crystal holder, firmly bonding the seed crystal and the graphite paper, and the graphite paper and the seed crystal holder together. The 2-inch aluminum nitride seed crystal is successfully bonded. The bonding effect is as Figure 5 shown. It can be Figure 5 seen that the fit between the graphite paper and the seed crystal and the fit between the seed crystal and the seed crystal holder are very tight, without bubbles, and the color is uniform.

[0090] Comparative Example 1

[0091] Similar to the seed crystal bonding process in Example 3, in Comparative Example 1, the two hot pressings are changed to one hot pressing. The seed crystal bonding method in Comparative Example 1 includes the following steps:

[0092] (1) Lay a 30-μm-thick polyethylene terephthalate (PET) self-adhesive film flat between an 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal and a 0.3-mm-thick graphite paper.

[0093] (2) Lay a 30-μm-thick polyethylene terephthalate (PET) self-adhesive film flat on the seed crystal holder, and then place the aforementioned seed crystal with the graphite paper attached (graphite paper facing down) on the seed crystal holder (self-adhesive film facing up).

[0094] (4) Hot press with a pressure of 2000 N. Heat from room temperature to 500 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min, and hold for 0.8 h at temperature points of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C. Slowly cool down to room temperature at a cooling rate of 1 °C / min.

[0095] After the self-adhesive film is hot-pressed and carbonized, a bonding layer is formed between the 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal and the graphite paper, and between the graphite paper and the seed crystal holder, bonding the seed crystal and the graphite paper, and the graphite paper and the seed crystal holder together. The bonding effect of the 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal is as Figure 6 shown. Since only one hot press is performed and the two adhesive films are carbonized simultaneously during the hot press, compared with two hot presses, the deformation caused by carbonization increases, resulting in uneven pressure and thus introducing air bubbles.

[0096] Comparative Example 2

[0097] Similar to the seed crystal bonding process in Example 3, in Comparative Example 2, the self-adhesive film becomes a 914B glue (epoxy resin glue) film. The seed crystal bonding method in Comparative Example 2 includes the following steps: (1) Uniformly coat the non-growth surface of an 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal with 914B glue, and attach a 0.3-mm-thick graphite paper to the glue film.

[0098] (2) Hot press the seed crystal and the graphite paper with a pressure of 2000 N. Heat from room temperature to 500 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min, and hold for 0.8 h at temperature points of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C. Slowly cool down to room temperature at a cooling rate of 1 °C / min;

[0099] (3) Uniformly coat the seed crystal holder with 914B glue, and then place the aforementioned seed crystal with the graphite paper attached (graphite paper facing down) on the seed crystal holder (914B glue facing up).

[0100] (4) Hot press again with a pressure of 2000 N. Heat from room temperature to 500 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min, and hold for 0.8 h at temperature points of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C. Slowly cool down to room temperature at a cooling rate of 1 °C / min.

[0101] After hot pressing and carbonization of the 914B glue, a bonding layer is formed between the 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal and the graphite paper, and between the graphite paper and the seed crystal holder, bonding the seed crystal and the graphite paper, and the graphite paper and the seed crystal holder together. The bonding effect is as Figure 7 shown. Since the 914B glue has the properties of flowing and outgassing at high temperatures, the glue film is uneven, introducing air bubbles.

[0102] Comparative Example 3

[0103] Similar to the seed crystal bonding process in Comparative Example 2, in Comparative Example 3, the 914B glue film is pre-baked. The seed crystal bonding method in Comparative Example 3 includes the following steps:

[0104] (1) Uniformly coat the 914B glue on the non-growth surface of the 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal, heat the glue film to 50 °C and keep it warm for 30 min, and attach the graphite paper with a thickness of 0.3 mm to the glue film;

[0105] (2) Hot press the seed crystal and the graphite paper, with a pressure of 2000 N, heat from room temperature to 500 °C, and the heating rate is 5 °C / min. Keep it warm for 0.8 h at the temperature points of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C; slowly cool down to room temperature, and the cooling rate is 1 °C / min;

[0106] (3) Uniformly coat the 914B glue on the seed crystal holder, heat the glue film to 50 °C and keep it warm for 30 min, and then place the aforementioned seed crystal with the graphite paper attached (graphite paper facing down) on the seed crystal holder (914B glue facing up);

[0107] (4) Hot press again, with a pressure of 2000 N, heat from room temperature to 500 °C, and the heating rate is 5 °C / min. Keep it warm for 0.8 h at the temperature points of 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C; slowly cool down to room temperature, and the cooling rate is 1 °C / min.

[0108] After hot pressing and carbonization of the 914B glue, a bonding layer is formed between the 8-inch silicon carbide seed crystal and the graphite paper, and between the graphite paper and the seed crystal holder, bonding the seed crystal and the graphite paper, and the graphite paper and the seed crystal holder together. The bonding effect is as Figure 8 shown. Even though the 914B glue has been pre-baked, since the 914B glue still has the properties of flowing and outgassing at high temperatures above 200 °C, the glue film is uneven, introducing air bubbles.

[0109] The above are only several exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Although the present invention is disclosed above in preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
