In recent years, rutile germanium dioxide (r-GeO) has been developed as a new UWBG semiconductor with a band gap of 4.44-4.68 eV. 2 ) is being researched, and rutile germanium dioxide can be used as n-type and p-type semiconductors and can be produced inexpensively, so Ga 2 O 3 It is expected to be a UWBG semiconductor to replace r-TiO. 2 r-GeO on (001) substrate 2 A laminated structure in which crystal films are laminated has been studied (Non-Patent Document 1, Patent Document 1). However, Non-Patent Document 2 was submitted as an erratum after Non-Patent Document 1 was peer-reviewed (Non-Patent Document 2), and it was found that the crystal grains (abnormal grains) described in Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1 were rutile-type germanium dioxide crystals, and the other parts were amorphous phase. In other words, the amorphous phase was formed in most parts, and even if a crystalline phase was formed, the crystal grains were formed only in a part. Therefore, a method for manufacturing a large-area crystal on a substrate surface was eagerly awaited. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0011] The crystal film of the present invention is a crystal film containing a metal oxide containing germanium as a main component, and the area of ​​the crystal film is 100 μm 2 The thickness of the crystalline film is preferably 1 μm or more. In the present invention, the crystalline film preferably has a tetragonal crystal structure. According to this preferred range, the semiconductor characteristics can be improved. Furthermore, the crystalline film is preferably a single crystal film. According to this preferred range, the semiconductor characteristics can be improved, the breakdown voltage can be improved, and the semiconductor device can be manufactured with greater industrial advantages.

[0012] The laminated structure of the present invention is characterized in that the crystal film is laminated on a crystal substrate via another layer. In addition, in the laminated structure of the present invention, the crystal substrate preferably has a tetragonal crystal structure. According to such a preferred range, the semiconductor characteristics can be improved, and the crystallinity can be improved. The term "oriented" means a state in which a crystal plane represented by, for example, a (111) plane is aligned in a specific direction. In this specification, "film" can be read as "layer". The "laminated structure" is a structure including one or more crystal layers, and may include a layer other than a crystal layer (e.g., an amorphous layer). The crystal layer is preferably a single crystal layer, but may be a polycrystalline layer. In this specification, the orientation state can be confirmed by X-ray diffraction. More specifically, for example, when the crystal film is oriented in the (111) plane, it can be determined that the crystal film is oriented in the (111) plane when the integrated intensity ratio of the peak derived from the (111) plane to the peak derived from other crystal planes is larger than the integrated intensity ratio of the peak derived from the (111) plane to the peak derived from other crystal planes of the same randomly oriented crystal.

[0013] The term "main component" in the present invention means that the content of the metal oxide containing germanium in the crystal film is 50% or more in terms of the composition ratio in the crystal film. In an embodiment of the present invention, the content of the metal oxide containing germanium in the crystal film is preferably 70% or more, more preferably 90% or more in terms of the composition ratio in the crystal film. The crystal film may also contain other metals than germanium.

The atomic ratio of germanium in the metal elements in the crystal film is preferably 0.5 or more. By setting the atomic ratio of germanium in such a preferred range, a crystal film having better semiconductor properties can be realized.

EXAMPLES

[0032] Example 1 1 is a diagram showing an example of a preferred embodiment of a film forming apparatus when the atomizing device of the present invention is used as a film forming atomizing stage. The film forming apparatus 19 is composed of a film forming sample 20, a sample stage 21, a carrier gas source 22a, a carrier gas source 22b, a flow rate control valve 23a, a flow rate control valve 23b, a film forming chamber 27, a heater 28, and an atomizing device 30. The atomizing device 30 is composed of a raw material partition wall 24, a raw material liquid to be atomized 24a, an ultrasonic transmission base material 24b, a stage 24c, an ultrasonic transducer 26, an ultrasonic transmission liquid tank 35, and an ultrasonic transmission liquid 36.

[0033] Next, a TiO2 (001) substrate having a tetragonal rutile structure, a square shape with sides of 10 mm and an average thickness of 500 nm, was placed on the sample stage 21 as the film-forming sample 20, and the heater 28 was operated to raise the temperature in the film-forming chamber 27 to 750°C. Next, the flow rate control valve 23 was opened to supply carrier gas from the carrier gas source 22 into the film-forming chamber 27, and after the atmosphere in the film-forming chamber 27 was sufficiently replaced with the carrier gas, the flow rate of the carrier gas was adjusted to 3 L / min. Oxygen gas was used as the carrier gas.

[0034] Next, the ultrasonic vibrator 26 was vibrated at 3.0 MHz, and the vibration was propagated to the raw material solution 24a through the ultrasonic transmitter 25a, thereby atomizing the raw material solution 24a to generate raw material fine particles. The raw material fine particles were introduced into the film formation chamber 27 by the carrier gas, reacted in the film formation chamber 27, and tetragonal GeO was formed on the film formation sample 20 by the CVD reaction on the film formation surface of the film formation sample 20. 2 A crystalline film was formed.

[0035] Next, the amorphous phase was removed by immersing the sample in ultrapure water for 3 minutes and applying ultrasonic vibration. After removing the amorphous phase, the raw material 24a was supplied to the crystal on the TiO2 substrate (001) to re-grow the crystal. GeO with a tetragonal rutile structure 2 A crystal film was formed with a thickness of 1.7 μm.

[0036] The obtained crystalline film was measured using an X-ray diffraction apparatus. The results of the XRD analysis are shown in Figure 2. As is clear from Figure 2, the obtained crystalline film is GeO with a (002) oriented tetragonal rutile structure with good crystallinity. 2 It was a crystalline film.

[0037] The surface of the obtained crystal film was observed using a SEM. The SEM image is shown in Figure 3. As is clear from Figure 3, the GeO film has excellent surface smoothness and good crystallinity over a large area. 2 In addition, when the surface of the obtained crystal film was evaluated using EDS, it was found that a crystal film had formed over the entire surface, as shown in Figure 4.

[0038] Comparative Example 1 The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out except that the amorphous phase was removed with ultrapure water and the raw material was not supplied to the crystal again. The result of measuring the obtained crystal film using an XRD diffractometer is shown in FIG. 5. It was found from FIG. 5 that the crystallinity was poor. From this, it was found that the crystal film obtained in Example 1 had excellent crystallinity.

[0039] The surface of the obtained crystal film was observed using an SEM. An SEM image is shown in FIG. 6. As is clear from FIG. 6, crystal grains were only partially formed. This indicates that the crystal film obtained in Example 1 is a GeO film having excellent surface smoothness and good crystallinity over a large area. 2 It was found that a crystalline film was obtained.

[0040] In addition, the surface of the obtained crystal film was evaluated using EDS, and as shown in Figure 7, GeO2 It was found that crystals were partially formed. This shows that the crystal film obtained in Example 1 had a crystal film formed over the entire surface. [Industrial Applicability]
