The growth method utilizes two substrates to fabricate a compound semiconductor structure and achieves a characteristic loss that avoids subsequent polishing processes. [Prior Art] Compound semiconductor materials have good luminescence properties because of their direct energy gap, and 〇 can be applied to photovoltaic elements, and the high electron mobility of such materials also enables them to be applied to high-speed electronic components. In particular, compound semiconductor materials of the three or five families have been widely used in products such as light-emitting diode (LED), semiconductor laser and microwave communication. Among the compound semiconductor materials of the Group 2 and 5, gallium nitride (GaN) has attracted attention because it can be applied to blue LEDs. Generally, a gallium nitride compound semiconductor is produced by using a sapphire substrate having a lattice constant comparable to that of gallium nitride but chemically stable, and an epitaxial layer is usually grown on the substrate by an organic metal vapor phase epitaxy (MOCVD). Forming an n-type semiconductor worm layer and a p-type semiconductor worm layer, the next process requires metal evaporation, lithography exposure and etching to form a metal electrode on the top surface of the worm layer, and then the substrate is thinned and thrown Light, the purpose of which is to remove the deposit of epitaxial deposition on the back side of the substrate, and to improve the yield of die cutting. Then, another metal electrode is plated on the substrate to form a compound semiconductor device, which is then cut into crystal grains and then packaged. Into the finished product or directly applied to the product. Wherein, in order to provide a substrate for the growth of the epitaxial layer of the compound semiconductor, in order to facilitate the substrate for filament growth on the substrate carrier of the residual crystal growth apparatus, and the root, different compound semiconductor component requirements, The substrate must be ground to a predetermined thickness after the insect crystals. Therefore, the thickness of the substrate currently used is as thick as a micron ((4)). It is often necessary to wear off many substrates, and such large-scale grinding not only wastes production costs. The problem of mechanical stress generated during the grinding process can also deteriorate the performance of the substrate and even affect the quality of the final fabricated component. 3 201039380 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the main object of the present invention is to provide a compound semiconductor epitaxial growth method for avoiding substrate polishing, which uses two thin substrates instead of one thick substrate to reduce the substrate being polished. To the extent that the loss of properties due to grinding can be avoided, thereby largely addressing the lack of prior art. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for epitaxial growth of a compound semiconductor which avoids substrate polishing, using a substrate as a blank substrate (Dummy Wafer) which can be repeatedly used on a crystal growth device, and then epitaxial growth with another substrate. Thereby, the process cost can be reduced. Therefore, in order to achieve the above object, the method for avoiding substrate polishing of the compound semiconductor worm crystal length disclosed in the present invention is to first load the first substrate on the substrate carrying port of the remote crystal chamber, and then set the second substrate to the second substrate. On the substrate, the Newcasting crystal is formed to form the insect Ba layer' and the compound semiconductor structure including the m-layer of the second substrate is removed, and the compound semi-conductive charm is read, and the bond is carried from the upper-trip substrate. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the first substrate and the second substrate are each about 15Q micrometers to 350 micrometers, and the degree of polishing of the second substrate after epitaxy is greatly reduced compared with the conventional substrate, thereby avoiding grinding. _ Lai lost, and the first-base reduction can be repeated on the substrate carrier to make other compound semiconductor structures, called the cost of low-component manufacturing. In order to understand the county, the purpose, the general and the Wei (four)-step, the following is a brief description of the following: [Embodiment] The second figure to the first one figure show the avoidance of substrate polishing provided by the present invention. The first embodiment of the method of transforming the body m length - the specific embodiment (four) process schematic. : Real:, the device for fine-grain growth can be selected from the conventional crystal growth: Li gas reduction (M0CVD), gas phase pe) or molecular beam t package == and the like. The first ^曰曰 growth" includes the "to" base recording (4), here, the base-based 201039380 ♦ the board 20 is mounted on the substrate carrying table ι, as shown in Figure 1A. The thickness of a substrate 2 is thinner than a conventional thick substrate by about 15 〇 to 35 μm. Then, as shown in Fig. 1B, the second substrate 3 is placed on the first substrate 2 。. The thickness of the second substrate 30 is also about 15 μm to 35 μm, and may be selected from the group consisting of alumina (sapphire), carbon carbide (SiC), zinc oxide (znO), lining (丨nP), and gallium nitride. (Gap), Shishenhua gallium (GaAs) or Shixi (Si) substrate, or other material suitable for growing a layered structure thereon in a serpentine manner. The aforementioned first substrate 2Q is selectable and the second substrate 3G The substrate of the same or different materials; for example, the first substrate 20 may be selected from the group consisting of quartz (Quartz), graphite ruthenium (Graphite), nitriding butterfly (bn), sapphire, carbonized dream (sic), zinc oxide ( ZnO), indium arsenide (inp), gallium gallium (Gap), gallium arsenide (GaAs) or germanium (S|) substrates. ❹ 接 ^' as shown in Figure 1C 'the second substrate 3 〇 in the worm Crystal growth The remote crystal growth in the device is the growth of the compound semiconductor semiconductor layer 40 on the second substrate 30 to form a compound semiconductor structure of a specific structure. Specifically, the germanium layer 40 An undoped tri-five compound semiconductor, such as gallium nitride, can be used to produce a gallium nitride compound semiconductor structure 5 Å. Before forming the worm layer 4 Å, the second substrate can be used as needed. A layer such as gallium nitride (GaN), gasification (a|n) or carbonized stone (s_c) is grown on the 30 as a buffer layer 60, and then the layer 4 is grown to obtain a high quality crucible' As shown in Fig. 1D, the buffer layer 6〇 can be a low temperature low temperature buffer layer, a high temperature buffer layer, a miscellaneous temperature layer and a pure slow _ combination of secrets: low temperature gallium nitride pen 嶋 嶋, braided - buffer layer.夕人ί,, E shows the removal of the second substrate, the buffer layer (5) and the tele-crystal layer 4〇. The semiconductor structure 50, and the first substrate 2 can continue to be carried on the substrate carrier' reusable A blank substrate (Dummy sinking) on the hiding device to make 'other compound semiconductor structures' The cost of manufacturing components from low-voltage components. The process of etching is to form a compound semiconductor device by metal exposure, grinding, cutting, etc., first, the first M, the plating method With the lithography and etching process, a metal electrode is formed on the surface of the compound semiconductor structure, and then the back surface of the second substrate is thinned to a certain thickness, and then polished to form a mirror surface to remove the stress layer caused by the polishing. Then, another metal electrode is formed on the back surface of the second substrate. Alternatively, the polishing step may be performed before the metal electrodes are formed on the front and back surfaces of the compound semiconductor structure (referred to as the surface of the epitaxial layer and the back surface of the second substrate, respectively). Finally, it is cut and then packaged into finished products or directly applied to the product. Its products include optoelectronic components and high-speed components. Since the present embodiment replaces a generally thick substrate with two thin substrates, the epitaxial compound semiconductor structure has a thin substrate thickness, and the substrate does not need to be ground too much to avoid the characteristic loss caused by the polishing and is shortened.
