Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor material processing, and in particular relates to a heterogeneous composite substrate and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC), as a third-generation semiconductor material, has outstanding properties such as wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity, low loss in the visible to near-infrared band, wide transparency window (0.37-5.6μm), large second-order / third-order nonlinear coefficients, compatibility with CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) processes, rich solid-state quantum light sources and excellent mechanical hardness. It shows great potential in high-power electronic devices, high-temperature and high-frequency devices, optoelectronics and optics.

[0003] Although semi-insulating SiC heterojunction substrates (i.e., heterojunction substrates combining semi-insulating SiC with glass substrates) have great potential for future market applications, their preparation still presents numerous challenges. Thermal mismatch must be considered, and the semi-insulating SiC layer within the substrate must maintain high uniformity. Direct ion implantation and exfoliation methods, however, can lead to deformation and fragmentation of the glass substrate during the exfoliation process due to the high exfoliation temperature. Ultimately, the desired heterojunction substrate cannot be obtained.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the thermal mismatch of the semi-insulating SiC heterojunction substrate and the easy damage of the glass substrate, while making the semi-insulating SiC layer have high uniformity, is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a heterogeneous composite substrate, its preparation method, and its application. By introducing a low-melting-point, high-absorptivity hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer as a dielectric sacrificial layer, the present invention can effectively reduce the stripping temperature during the subsequent stripping process, avoiding damage to the glass substrate and ensuring the structural integrity of the glass substrate. The resulting heterogeneous composite substrate solves the thermal mismatch problem, and the quality of the silicon carbide layer is almost identical to that of single-crystal silicon carbide, with virtually no deformation, demonstrating excellent uniformity and film quality.

[0006] In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a heterogeneous composite substrate, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] A semi-finished substrate and a glass substrate are provided. The semi-finished substrate includes a supporting substrate, a hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer and a silicon carbide layer which are arranged in sequence from bottom to top.

[0009] The silicon carbide layer of the semi-finished substrate is bonded to one side surface of the glass substrate to obtain a bonded body.

[0010] The bonded body is subjected to a peeling process so that the bonded body is cracked along the hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer, and then the hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer remaining on the surface of the silicon carbide layer is removed to obtain the heterogeneous composite substrate; the heterogeneous composite substrate includes a glass substrate and a silicon carbide layer stacked together.

[0011] The present invention introduces a low-melting-point, high-absorption hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer as a dielectric sacrificial layer, which can effectively reduce the stripping temperature during subsequent stripping treatment, avoid damage to the glass substrate, and ensure the structural integrity of the glass substrate. The heterogeneous composite substrate prepared in this way solves the thermal mismatch problem, and the quality of the silicon carbide layer is almost the same as that of single-crystalline silicon carbide, and it is almost non-deformable, showing excellent uniformity and film quality.

[0012] It should be noted that after the stripping process, in addition to obtaining a heterogeneous composite substrate having a residual hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer on the surface of the silicon carbide layer, a remaining supporting substrate is also obtained, and the supporting substrate can be reused.

[0013] Preferably, the silicon carbide layer is a semi-insulating silicon carbide layer. It should be noted that the semi-insulating silicon carbide layer has a relatively high resistivity, usually greater than 1×10 8 Ω·cm, with excellent optical properties, such as low loss in the visible to near-infrared band, a wide transparent window (0.37-5.6μm), and large second-order / third-order nonlinear coefficients.

[0136] Performance Testing

[0137] The glass substrate fragmentation situation of the heterogeneous composite substrates prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples was counted, and the refractive index and extinction coefficient of the heterogeneous composite substrates were tested using a gyroscopic instrument.

[0138] The statistical and test results are shown in Table 1.

[0141]

[0142] analyze:

[0143] As can be seen from Table 1, the present invention introduces a low-melting-point, high-absorptivity hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer as a dielectric sacrificial layer, which can effectively reduce the stripping temperature during the subsequent stripping process, avoid damage to the glass substrate, and ensure the structural integrity of the glass substrate. The heterogeneous composite substrate prepared in this way solves the thermal mismatch problem, and the quality of the silicon carbide layer is almost the same as that of single-crystalline silicon carbide, and it is almost invisible, showing excellent uniformity and film quality. It is expected to promote the widespread application of heterogeneous composite substrates in fields such as Metalens.

[0144] From the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 4-5, it can be seen that if the atomic fraction of hydrogen atoms in the hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer is too small, laser lift-off cannot be performed; if the atomic fraction of hydrogen atoms in the hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer is too large, it will cause waste of cost and time and poor performance.

[0145] From the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 6-7, it can be seen that if the thickness of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer is too small, laser lift-off cannot be performed; if the thickness of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer is too large, it will cause waste of cost and time and poor performance.

[0146] From the comparison between Example 1 and Example 8, it can be seen that if the laser stripping method is replaced by thermal stripping, the thermal stripping method cannot be used to achieve the stripping effect because there is no implanted weakening layer.

[0147] From the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 9-10, it can be seen that if the energy density in the parameters of the laser lift-off method is too low, lift-off cannot be performed; if the energy density in the parameters of the laser lift-off method is too high, lift-off damage will be caused and the performance will be poor.

[0148] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that if a hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer is not prepared as a dielectric sacrificial layer, stripping cannot be achieved, and forced stripping will cause defocus damage to the functional layer, and the performance cannot meet the requirements.

[0149] It should be noted that while the present invention illustrates the process method through the above-described embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described process steps, and does not necessarily rely on the above-described process steps for implementation. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that any improvements to the present invention, equivalent replacements for the raw materials used, additions of auxiliary components, and selection of specific methods, etc., fall within the scope of protection and disclosure of the present invention.
