Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a laminated structure useful for a semiconductor device. [Background technology]

[0002] Ga2O3 has been attracting attention as a promising ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor for future power electronics devices.

[0003] However, Ga2O3 has the problem that it is difficult to fabricate a p-type semiconductor, and it is not easy to make it inexpensive, so there are still many challenges to overcome before it can be widely used. In recent years, rutile germanium dioxide (r-GeO2) has been studied as a new UWBG semiconductor (band gap 4.44-4.68 eV). Rutile germanium dioxide can be made into n-type and p-type semiconductors and can be produced inexpensively, so it is expected to be a UWBG semiconductor to replace Ga2O3. For example, a laminated structure in which an r-GeO2 crystal film is laminated on an r-TiO2 (001) substrate has been studied (Non-Patent Document 1, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3). However, Non-Patent Document 1 was submitted as an Erratum after the peer review of Non-Patent Document 1 (Non-Patent Document 2), and it was found that the crystal grains (abnormal grains) described in Non-Patent Document 1, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3 were rutile germanium dioxide crystals, and the other parts were amorphous phases. That is, the amorphous phase was formed in most parts, and even if a crystal phase was formed, the crystal grains were only formed in a part. In addition, the r-TiO2(001) substrate was expensive and was still not satisfactory. In addition, the r-TiO2(001) substrate had a problem of poor heat dissipation. Therefore, a method to produce crystals with excellent crystallinity and to produce crystals on a substrate with excellent heat dissipation was eagerly awaited.

[0011] The laminated structure of the present invention is a laminated structure in which a crystal film is laminated directly or via another layer on a crystal substrate, the crystal substrate or the other layer containing, as a main component, a metal or metal compound containing a d block element and / or a p block element of the periodic table and having a cubic crystal structure, and the crystal film containing, as a main component, a metal oxide containing Ge. Examples of the d-block elements include scandium (Sc), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), technetium (Tc), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), cadmium (Cd), hafnium (Hf), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), rhenium (Re), osmium (Os), iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt), and gold (Au). Examples of the p-block elements include aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), gallium (Ga), indium (In), tin (Sn), and antimony (Sb).

[0012] In the present invention, it is preferable that the crystal film has one or more crystal structures selected from orthorhombic, tetragonal and trigonal, and it is also preferable that the crystal film has a tetragonal crystal structure. The tetragonal structure is exemplified by a rutile structure. The trigonal structure is exemplified by an α-quartz structure. Within these preferred ranges, the interface becomes better, the thermal conductivity can be improved, and the semiconductor properties can also be improved. Also, in the present invention, it is preferable that the crystal film has a thickness of 100 μm or less. 2It is preferable that the crystal film has an area of ​​1 μm or more, and more preferably that the crystal film is a single crystal film. According to such a preferable range, semiconductor devices can be manufactured with more industrial advantages. It is also preferable that the thickness of the crystal film is 1 μm or more. It is also preferable that the surface roughness of the crystal film is 10 nm or less. The surface roughness (RMS) refers to a value calculated based on JIS B0601 using the results of surface shape measurement of a 10 μm square area by an atomic force microscope (AFM). According to these preferred ranges, a crystal having better semiconductor properties can be realized, and the breakdown voltage can be improved. In the present invention, it is preferable that the crystal substrate or the other layer contains silicon or a silicon-containing compound, and it is more preferable that the crystal substrate or the other layer contains Si or SiC. According to these preferred ranges, the heat dissipation property can be improved.

[0013] In this specification, the term "film" can be read as "layer". The term "laminated structure" refers to a structure including one or more crystal layers, and may include layers other than crystal layers (e.g., amorphous layers). 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 is oriented in the (111) plane, it can be determined that the crystal 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 of the same randomly oriented crystal to the peak derived from other crystal planes.

[0014] The term "main component" in the present invention means that the content of the metal oxide containing germanium (germanium dioxide) in the crystal film is 50% or more in terms of 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 composition ratio in the crystal film. The metal oxide containing germanium is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound of oxygen and germanium. The crystal film may also contain other metals than germanium. Examples of the other metals include metals in Group 14 of the periodic table other than germanium (such as tin or silicon) and metals in Group 4 of the periodic table (such as titanium, zirconia or hafnium). The atomic ratio of germanium in the metal elements in the crystal film is not particularly limited as long as it is greater than 0.5. In an embodiment of the present invention, the atomic ratio of germanium in the metal elements in the crystal is preferably 0.7 or more, more preferably 0.9 or more. By setting the atomic ratio of germanium in such a preferred range, a crystal film having better electrical properties can be realized.

[0015] The crystals can be obtained more easily by forming a crystal film containing a metal oxide containing Ge as a main component and a mixed crystal film thereof by using, for example, a film forming apparatus shown in FIG. 1. In addition, it is also possible to appropriately perform doping using the film forming apparatus. The doped crystals can be suitably used as a semiconductor film or semiconductor layer, and an n-type dopant or a p-type dopant can be applied to conventional doping means in oxide semiconductors. Examples of the n-type dopant include antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), bismuth (Bi), fluorine (F), niobium (Nb), vanadium (V), tantalum (Ta), or tungsten (W). Examples of the p-type dopant include aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), or indium (In). In the present invention, the laminated structure obtained in this manner is also included in the present invention.

[0016] The crystal substrate is not particularly limited as long as it does not impede the object of the present invention, and may be a known substrate, an insulating substrate, a conductive substrate, or a semiconductor substrate. It may be a single crystal substrate or a polycrystalline substrate. The crystal substrate may be a substrate having a metal film on its surface. In addition, when the crystal substrate is a conductive substrate, a vertical device can be manufactured without removing the substrate. The crystal structure of the crystal substrate is also not particularly limited as long as it does not impede the object of the present invention. Examples of the crystal structure of the crystal substrate include a hexagonal crystal structure, a cubic crystal structure, and a tetragonal crystal structure. Examples of the crystal substrate having a hexagonal crystal structure include a GaN substrate, a SiC substrate, or a sapphire substrate (such as an A-plane sapphire, an M-plane sapphire, and an R-plane sapphire substrate). Examples of the crystal substrate having a tetragonal crystal structure include a GeO2 substrate, a SrTiO3 substrate, a TiO2 substrate, or an MgF2 substrate. Examples of the crystal substrate having a cubic crystal structure include a Si substrate or a SiC substrate. In an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate preferably contains silicon or a silicon-containing compound as a main component, and the crystalline substrate is preferably Si or SiC. The substrate containing silicon or a silicon-containing compound as a main component may be, for example, a Si substrate or a SiC substrate. The Si substrate may be, for example, a conductive substrate containing a dopant such as phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb) or boron (B). The SiC substrate may be, for example, a conductive substrate containing a dopant such as phosphorus (P) or boron (B). The crystalline substrate may have an off-angle, and specifically, for example, an off-angle of 0.1° or more and 10° or less. According to such a preferred range, the ease of manufacture can be further improved, the crystallinity can be improved, the heat dissipation can be improved, and the substrate can be more easily applied to semiconductor devices and the like.

[0017] The laminated structure is used as it is or after a known processing means such as peeling off of the substrate is applied, for example, by using a known means for a semiconductor device. Examples of the semiconductor device include a Schottky barrier diode (SBD), a junction barrier Schottky diode (JBS), a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), a junction field effect transistor (JFET), an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), or a light emitting diode (LED). The semiconductor device may be a module equipped with the semiconductor device, or an electronic device equipped with the semiconductor device and its parts, and is useful for various applications, and is preferably applied to a power device in particular. The semiconductor device can be classified into a horizontal element (horizontal device) in which an electrode is formed on one side of the semiconductor layer, and a vertical element (vertical device) in which an electrode is formed on both the front and back sides of the semiconductor layer, and in the present invention, the semiconductor device can be suitably used for both a horizontal device and a vertical device.

EXAMPLES

[0030] Example 1 Fig. 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 24, a raw material liquid for atomization 24a, an ultrasonic transmission base material 24b, a stage 24c, an ultrasonic vibrator 26, a guide partition 31, an ultrasonic transmission liquid tank 35, and an ultrasonic transmission liquid 36. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of another preferred embodiment of a film-forming apparatus when the atomizing device of the present invention is used as a film-forming atomizing stage. The atomization device 30 is composed of a raw material partition wall 24, a raw material liquid for atomization 24a, an ultrasonic transmission substrate 24b, a stand 24c, an ultrasonic vibrator 26, a guide partition wall 31, an ultrasonic transmission liquid tank 35, and an ultrasonic transmission liquid 36. The sample stage 21 is made of quartz, and the surface on which the film-forming sample 20 is placed is inclined from the horizontal plane. By making both the film-forming chamber 27 and the sample stage 21 from quartz, it is possible to prevent impurities from the device from being mixed into the crystal film formed on the film-forming sample 20. The raw material liquid for atomization 24a is contained in the mist generating source 24. The guide partition wall 31 is in contact with the ultrasonic transmission substrate 38. Figure 18 is a schematic diagram showing a cross-sectional view of the atomization device used in the present invention as seen from the side. The atomization device 30 in Figure 18 is composed of a raw material partition wall 24, an ultrasonic transmission substrate 24b, a stand 24c, an ultrasonic vibrator 26, a guide partition wall 31, and an ultrasonic transmission liquid tank 35. The guide partition 31 is in contact with the ultrasonic wave transmission liquid tank 35. By using the guide partition 31, the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic transducer 26 are transmitted to the raw material partition 24 more efficiently.

[0031] Next, a Si(111) substrate with a 10 mm square 3C-SiC(111) thin film having an average thickness of 900 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. The crystal structure of the 3C-SiC(111) thin film was cubic, and the crystal structure of the Si(111) substrate was cubic. 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 the atmosphere in the film-forming chamber 27 was sufficiently replaced with the carrier gas, and the flow rate of the carrier gas was adjusted to 3 L / min. Oxygen gas was used as the carrier gas.

[0032] Next, the ultrasonic vibrator 26 was vibrated at 3.0 MHz, and the vibration was propagated to the raw liquid for atomization 24a through the ultrasonic transmitter 25a, thereby atomizing the raw liquid for atomization 24a to generate raw material fine particles. These raw material fine particles were introduced into the film formation chamber 27 by the carrier gas, reacted in the film formation chamber 27, and formed a tetragonal GeO2 crystal film on the film formation sample 20 by the CVD reaction on the film formation surface of the film formation sample 20. The film thickness was 1.2 μm.

[0033] The obtained GeO2 crystal film was measured using an X-ray diffraction apparatus. Figure 3 shows the XRD diffraction results. As is clear from Figure 3, the obtained crystal film was a GeO2 single crystal film with a (111)-oriented tetragonal rutile structure. The half-width of 2θ-ω was 68 arcsec, and a GeO2 crystal film with good crystallinity was formed on the 3C-SiC(111) thin film grown on the Si(111) substrate.

[0034] In addition, when the surface of the obtained GeO2 crystal film was observed using an atomic force microscope (AFM), it was found that the surface roughness (RMS) based on JIS B0601 was 0.26 nm, as shown in Figure 4, indicating excellent surface smoothness.

[0035] The surface of the obtained GeO2 crystal film was observed using SEM. Figure 5 shows an SEM image. As is clear from Figure 5, GeO2 crystals with excellent surface smoothness and good crystallinity were formed. The surface of the obtained crystal film was also evaluated using EDS, and as shown in Figure 6, a crystal film was formed over the entire surface to a thickness of 100 μm. 2 It was found that the above-mentioned formation area was formed.

[0036] Example 2 A film was formed in the same manner as in Example 1, except that a Si(100) substrate was used as the substrate. The crystal structure of the Si(100) substrate was cubic. The obtained crystal film was measured using an X-ray diffraction device. Figure 7 shows the XRD diffraction results. As is clear from Figure 7, the obtained crystal film was a GeO2 single crystal film having a (111)-oriented tetragonal rutile structure. GeO2 crystals with good crystallinity were formed on the Si(100) substrate. The film thickness was 1.5 μm.

[0037] The surface of the obtained crystal film was observed using SEM. Figure 8 shows an SEM image. As is clear from Figure 8, GeO2 crystals with excellent surface smoothness and good crystallinity were formed. The surface of the obtained crystal film was also evaluated using EDS, and as shown in Figure 9, the crystal film was found to be 100 μm thick over the entire surface. 2 It was found that the above-mentioned formation area was formed.

[0038] Example 3 A crystalline film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the flow rate of the carrier gas was increased. The XRD diffraction result of the obtained crystalline film is shown in Figure 10. As is clear from Figure 10, the obtained crystalline film was a GeO2 crystalline film having orthorhombic, tetragonal and trigonal crystal structures. The film thickness was 1.5 μm.

[0039] (Test Example 1) After heating Example 1 of the present invention at 850°C for 20 minutes, the temperature change was measured in the air using a radiation thermometer "TMHX-CGE2400-0300H4.5". As a result, the surface temperature of Example 1 was 50°C 20 seconds after it was taken out into the air, and 45°C after 30 seconds. In addition, when a comparative example 1 was used in which r-GeO2(001) crystals were grown on an r-TiO2(001) substrate, the surface temperature was 290°C 20 seconds after it was taken out into the air, the surface temperature was 77°C 30 seconds after it was taken out, and the surface temperature was 45°C after 90 seconds.
