- the stirring plate 7 is a substantially rectangular plate body attached to a mounting portion at the tip of the upper rod 2 substantially vertically. It is preferable that the plate body of the stirring plate 7 has a horizontal width of 1/2 or more of the inner diameter of the crucible 4 and a vertical width of 1/2 or more of the thickness of the liquid sealant layer described later. Moreover, you may provide 2 or more of this board.
- the stirring plate 7 may be of any shape in principle as long as it can stir the liquid sealant boron oxide (B 2 O 3 ) melt.
- FIG. 1 shows a crucible state during the growth of a GaAs single crystal.
- the lower part of the GaAs melt as the melt portion 15 is a Si-doped GaAs single crystal grown as a solidified portion 20.
- the crucible 4 and the stirring plate 7 may be any material that has the necessary heat resistance and does not easily react with the raw material melt. For example, graphite coated with quartz and pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN). Etc. can be used.
- this device also adjusts the temperature gradient of the heater 9 by fixing the vertical position of the crucible 4 (vertical temperature gradient method). The method can also be applied to a method of changing the vertical position of the crucible 4 while fixing the temperature gradient of the heater 9 (vertical Bridgman method).
- a method for producing a GaAs single crystal As shown in FIG. 3, a seed crystal 10, an Si raw material 12 and an GaAs raw material 14 as impurities, solid silicon dioxide 16 such as a disk-shaped quartz plate, and a boron oxide raw material 18 are crucible 4. In this state, the vertical boat method is performed to grow the GaAs single crystal 20, and by adopting such a configuration, the B concentration can be kept low even at a high carrier concentration. As a result, a GaAs single crystal having a high carrier concentration and high crystallinity can be produced.
- a Si-doped GaAs single crystal is manufactured as follows using the above-described single crystal manufacturing apparatus. First, as shown in FIG. 3, in the crucible 4, the seed crystal 10, the Si raw material 12 and the GaAs raw material 14 as the impurities (dopant), the quartz plate 16, and the B 2 O 3 raw material 18 as the liquid sealant raw material. Are housed in this order.
- the crucible 4 containing these raw materials is set in the apparatus, and the vertical boat method is performed as follows. First, the inside of the airtight container 5 is evacuated and replaced with an inert gas such as argon (Ar) or nitrogen, and the inside of the container is pressurized to 3 to 9 atm. And the crucible 4 is heated with the heater 9, and each raw material except the seed crystal 10 is melted. At this time, the inside of the crucible 4 is heated to about 1200 ° C. to 1450 ° C.
- an inert gas such as argon (Ar) or nitrogen
- the melting point of the dopant Si raw material 12 is 1420 ° C.
- the melting point of the GaAs raw material 14 is 1240 ° C.
- the boron oxide raw material 18 has a softening point near 550 ° C.
- the melting point (softening point) of silicon dioxide is 1700 ° C. . Therefore, after the start of heating, the boron oxide raw material 18 is first softened to become liquid boron oxide 19.
- the GaAs raw material 14 melts to become a GaAs melt 15. In this process, a part of the Si raw material 12 is dissolved in the GaAs melt 15, and the other part of the Si raw material 12 is taken into the liquid boron oxide 19 as SiO 2 .
- the quartz plate 16 is gradually dissolved into the liquid boron oxide 19. While the dissolution of the quartz plate 16 proceeds, the quartz plate 16 is located at the interface between the GaAs melt 15 and the liquid B 2 O 3 19 because of the specific gravity. It will be described later whether the quartz plate is completely melted or saturated and partially melted. The reason why the quartz plate 16 is further melted into the liquid boron oxide 19 in which Si is dissolved in advance is that the solid solution limit of Si in the boron oxide increases due to the high temperature in the crucible 4, and the Si is dissolved up to the solid solution limit. It is considered that a state that can be dissolved can be created according to the present invention.
- the upper limit side of the GaAs seed crystal 105 is melted and blended with the GaAs melt 15, and then the GaAs melt 15 is cooled and solidified from the portion in contact with the seed crystal 10 below the crucible 4.
- the temperature of the heater 9 is gradually lowered.
- the lower rod 1 moves the crucible 4 relative to the heater 9 downward.
- the GaAs single crystal 20 grows upward from the seed crystal 10.
- the heater 9 is cooled and the crucible 4 is cooled.
- the furnace of the single crystal manufacturing apparatus 1 is opened, the liquid sealant is removed, and the GaAs single crystal is taken out.
- the Si-doped GaAs single crystal ingot obtained by starting the heating in the vertical boat method with the solid silicon dioxide 16 disposed between the GaAs raw material 14 and the boron oxide raw material 18 has a high carrier concentration.
- the B concentration in the GaAs single crystal is in the range of 1.9 ⁇ 10 18 to 6 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3 even if the carrier concentration is higher than 2 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3.
- the dimensions (namely, the amount of SiO 2 added) and the shape of the quartz plate 16 are not particularly limited, and can be set according to the manufacturing apparatus, the dimensions of the target ingot, the Si concentration and the B concentration in the target single crystal. However, it is preferable to set as follows.
- the solid silicon dioxide 16 may have a spherical shape, a polygonal plate shape, a donut shape, or the like, but in order to form a high-concentration SiO 2 layer 17 under the liquid B 2 O 3 19 after melting, a circular plate shape It is preferable that Further, the addition amount of SiO 2 as the solid silicon dioxide 16 is preferably in the range of 3 to 6 ppm by mass with respect to the liquid B 2 O 3 19.
- the difference in effect from the conventional method in which silicon oxide is added in advance to B 2 O 3 may not be sufficiently obtained. This is because saturation is assumed.
- the ratio of the area of the quartz plate 16 to the area of the upper surface of the GaAs melt 15 at the start of crystal growth is preferably 5 to 99%, and 90 to 99%. More preferred. This is because when the quartz plate 16 having the same weight is charged, it is easier to form the high-concentration SiO 2 layer 17 in the B 2 O 3 lower layer after melting if the shape of the quartz plate is wider and thinner.
- SiO 2 is added in advance as a Si component in the boron oxide raw material 18, and the total of the Si amount of SiO 2 in the boron oxide raw material 18 and the Si amount in the solid silicon dioxide 16 is the boron oxide raw material 18. It is preferable that it exceeds 5 mass% with respect to the mass of.
- the ratio is more preferably in the range of more than 5% by mass and not more than 7% by mass, and still more preferably in the range of more than 5% by mass to 5.5% by mass.
- silicon oxide is added in advance to the liquid sealant B 2 O 3 as in Patent Document 1, the maximum is 5% by mass with respect to the mass of the liquid B 2 O 3 , and 3 % by mass at normal costs.
- the quartz plate 16 having an amount exceeding 5% by mass alone is disposed, the heating of the vertical boat method is started, and then the GaAs melt 15
- the quartz plate 16 it is preferable to arrange the quartz plate 16 using the boron oxide raw material 18 to which Si is uniformly added in advance so that the Si amount exceeds 5 mass% with respect to the mass of the boron oxide raw material.
- B 2 O 3 which is the liquid sealing agent 19 during a predetermined period in the growth process of the GaAs single crystal.
- the effect of keeping the B concentration low in a desired high carrier concentration range can be more sufficiently exhibited.
- Si in GaAs is segregated during the GaAs solidification process, so the Si concentration in the crystal formed in the final stage of solidification is 4 to 5 times the Si concentration in the crystal formed in the initial stage of solidification. Since Si acts as a carrier in GaAs, the carrier concentration is also increased 4 to 5 times.
- the B 2 O 3 portion is stirred, and as a result, the high-concentration SiO 2 layer under the B 2 O 3 layer is also stirred, so that the Si concentration in the B 2 O 3 lower layer in contact with the GaAs melt 15 is lowered.
- Si in the GaAs melt can be taken into B 2 O 3 and crystals with a narrower carrier concentration range can be obtained efficiently.
- Si in GaAs has a high concentration of about 1 ⁇ 10 19 / cm 3 , it acts not only as a donor but also as an acceptor and cancels each other out. From this point of view, it is desirable to stir in the latter half of the crystal growth in which Si segregates when the carrier concentration is high.
- solidification rate in this specification means the ratio of the weight of the solidified portion to the weight of the entire GaAs raw material. The solidification rate increases from 0 to 1 as the solidification progresses and the crystal grows.
- the solidification rate being a specific value means that the interface where the solidified portion and the melt portion are in contact is in a specific position corresponding to the solidification rate value on a one-to-one basis. To do. The position specified by this is naturally the same even after the whole is solidified and the crystal is completed. Therefore, the position of the completed single crystal in the crystal growth direction can be specified by the solidification rate.
- Si-doped GaAs single crystal wafer Next, a Si-doped GaAs single crystal wafer according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
- This wafer can be obtained by cutting, polishing, etc. the ingot produced by the above production method.
- the B concentration in the GaAs single crystal can be in the range of 1.9 ⁇ 10 18 to 6 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3 .
- the wafer of this embodiment is characterized in that even if the carrier concentration is higher than 2 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3 , the maximum value of the etch pit density EPD is as high as 500 cm ⁇ 2 or less.
- the maximum etch pit density EPD can be as high as 500 cm ⁇ 2 or less. . Further, the average value of the etch pit density EPD is 25 cm ⁇ 2 or less. In the present embodiment, the carrier concentration is approximately in the range of 2.2 to 3.5 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3 .
- the lower limit of EPD is not particularly limited, and may be zero depending on the wafer, but is generally in the range of 0 to 20 cm ⁇ 2 .
- the carrier concentration of each wafer is obtained by hole measurement using the Van der Pauw method.
- EDP and its measurement method will be explained briefly.
- a GaAs single crystal wafer contains crystal defects
- this wafer is immersed in a specific corrosive reagent, etching starts from the crystal defect portion, and pits (dents) are formed there. Therefore, the crystallinity of the wafer can be evaluated by measuring the etch pit density, that is, the number of pits formed by etching per unit area. And if EPD evaluation of the wafer produced from the predetermined location of Si dope ingot is performed, the crystallinity of the said Si dope ingot can be evaluated.
- a pit produced by immersing a wafer in molten KOH (potassium hydroxide) at a liquid temperature of 320 ° C. for 30 minutes and etching it is observed with an optical microscope, and a measurement field of 1 mm 2 or more.
- KOH potassium hydroxide
- the number of measurement points varies depending on the wafer area, but it is 37 points for a 3-inch wafer.
- the EPD maximum value means the maximum EPD value among a plurality of measurement points. In device manufacturers that currently use GaAs single crystal wafers, EPD is specified not only for the average value but also for its maximum value. A low maximum value means that any part of the wafer is high in quality, and is important from the viewpoint of yield, and is therefore a suitable index for evaluating the crystallinity of the wafer.
- Example 1 Using a 3-inch GaAs single crystal manufacturing apparatus using a stainless steel chamber having the configuration shown in FIG. 1, a GaAs single crystal ingot was manufactured according to the following procedure.
- the cylindrical PBN crucible was filled with the raw materials in the following order and placed at a predetermined position in the chamber.
- 1. GaAs seed crystal GaAs polycrystal 6.0kg and Si crystal 1200mg (200ppm by mass with respect to GaAs) 3. Quartz plate (two stacked discs) 9.1g 4).
- 360 g of B 2 O 3 raw material containing 4.0% by mass of Si previously added with SiO 2 When observed from the upper part of the crucible, the diameter of the quartz plate is 75 mm with respect to the inner diameter of the crucible of 80 mm.
- the total amount of Si in the B 2 O 3 raw material and the Si amount in the quartz plate is 18.7 g, which corresponds to 5.2 mass% of the mass of the B 2 O 3 raw material of 360 g.
- the inside of the apparatus was evacuated, replaced with Ar gas, and pressurized to 6 atm.
- the pressure was increased to 8 atm to melt the upper part of the GaAs raw material, Si raw material, and seed crystal. Thereafter, 8 atm was maintained until the end of crystal growth.
- the GaAs raw material, the Si raw material, and the upper part of the seed crystal are melted, the B 2 O 3 raw material is melted on the GaAs melt to prevent As from being scattered from the GaAs raw material melt.
- the heater temperature was lowered from the seed crystal side, and the entire raw material melt was solidified to grow a 3-inch crystal.
- the liquid B 2 O 3 was stirred by rotating the stirring plate at 2 rpm from the solidification rate of 0.33 until the growth was completed.
- the heater was cooled and the crucible was cooled.
- the furnace of the single crystal manufacturing apparatus was opened and the GaAs single crystal was taken out.
- the sealing agent was dissolved and removed with alcohol to take out the crystals, the quartz plate did not dissolve in the sealing agent, or a lump of quartz that seems to have re-deposited after dissolution (total 1.5 g ) was discovered.
- the wafer was cut out from three positions with solidification rates of 0.1 (Seed side), 0.45 (Middle position), and 0.8 (Tail side), respectively.
- Concentration, B concentration, carrier concentration and EPD (average value and maximum value) were measured.
- Measurement of Si concentration and B concentration was performed by ICP.
- the carrier concentration and EPD were measured by the method described above.
- Example 2 An ingot was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the amount of Si crystal as a dopant added to the GaAs polycrystal was 2100 mg (350 mass ppm with respect to GaAs) and the quartz plate was 9.5 g. Then, the wafer was evaluated. The total of the Si amount in the B 2 O 3 raw material and the Si amount in the quartz plate is 18.8 g, which corresponds to 5.2 mass% of the mass of the B 2 O 3 raw material 360 g. In addition, when the sealing agent was dissolved and removed with alcohol to take out the crystals, the quartz plate was considered not to have dissolved in the sealing agent or re-deposited after dissolution (total 0.2 g) Was discovered.
- Example 3 An ingot was prepared by the same method as in Example 1 except that liquid B 2 O 3 was not stirred and the quartz plate was 9.6 g, and the wafer was evaluated.
- the total of the Si amount in the B 2 O 3 raw material and the Si amount in the quartz plate is 18.9 g, which corresponds to 5.2 mass% of the mass of the B 2 O 3 raw material 360 g.
- the quartz plate was considered not to have dissolved in the sealing agent or re-deposited after dissolution (1.1 g in total) Was discovered.
- Table 1 shows the evaluation results of the examples and comparative examples.
- FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the Si concentration in the GaAs crystal and the B concentration in the GaAs crystal for each of the general wafers grown under the same conditions as in each of the examples / comparative examples and comparative example 1.
- Example 1 the EPD is low in any of the wafers on the seed side, the middle position, and the tail side.
- the carrier concentration is higher than 2 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3 and the maximum value of EPD is 500 cm ⁇ 2 or less.
- a wafer could be obtained.
- Example 2 a similar wafer could be obtained with a wider area wafer (middle position and tail side).
- Example 3 a similar wafer could be obtained at the Middle position.
- Comparative Example 1 although the carrier concentration of the tail side wafer is higher than 2 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3 , the EPD maximum value is 1500 cm ⁇ 2 or less, and has a high carrier concentration and good crystallinity. A wafer could not be obtained. As is apparent from FIG. 4, in Comparative Example 1, the B concentration exceeds 6 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3 on the tail side where the Si concentration is high. For this reason, generation
- Example 3 the maximum EPD value on the Tail side was significantly increased compared to Example 1. Therefore, it was found that when a quartz plate is used, it is preferable to stir the liquid sealant during crystal growth.
- Example 1 As a result of charging Si crystal of 200 mass ppm of Si into GaAs, the carrier concentration was 1.1 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3 on the seed side. In Comparative Example 2, the Si crystal of Si 280 mass ppm was charged. On the seed side, the carrier concentration is 1.2 ⁇ 10 18 cm ⁇ 3 . Although the charge amount of Comparative Example 2 is larger, there is almost no difference in carrier concentration, and on the seed side (crystal growth start stage), in Example 1, the charged Si crystal is used as a carrier than Comparative Example 2. It can be seen that the ratio of incorporation into the crystal is high.
- Comparative Example 1 the high-concentration SiO 2 layer of the B 2 O 3 lower layer after raw material melting will be considered.
- the Si concentration in B 2 O 3 is 1.6% by mass on average
- Comparative Example 2 the Si concentration in B 2 O 3 is 4.0% by mass on average.
- the comparative example 2 tends to have a slightly lower B concentration than the comparative example 1. That is, the higher the Si concentration in B 2 O 3 , the lower the B concentration in GaAs tends to be.
- the Si concentration in B 2 O 3 is 1.6. Even if the mass percentage is increased by 2.5 times from 4.0 mass% to 4.0 mass%, the B concentration in GaAs remains slightly low. In contrast, in Example 1, the Si concentration in B 2 O 3 is 5.2% by mass, which is the value obtained by adding the amount of Si in the quartz plate, which is 3.25 times that in Comparative Example 1. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the tendency of the B concentration in GaAs to decrease is more remarkable than the difference between Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2.
- Example 1 B 2 O 3 This is a quartz plate was placed in Example 1 B 2 O 3 rather than being homogeneously dissolved in, B 2 O 3 exists as a lower layer in a high concentration layer of SiO 2 concentration higher than 5 wt% Suggests that Further, in Example 1, 1.5 g of quartz was recovered after the GaAs crystal was grown and the sealing agent was dissolved in alcohol, but at the time of melting the raw material, 1.5 g of quartz was also dissolved in B 2 O 3. The possibility of contributing to the formation of the high-concentration SiO 2 layer is high.
- the B concentration can be kept lower than the comparative example and the conventional general wafer even if the Si concentration is high. Therefore, it seems that it became possible to produce a GaAs single crystal having a high carrier concentration and high crystallinity.
- a GaAs single crystal having a high carrier concentration and high crystallinity can be produced. From this GaAs single crystal, a GaAs single crystal wafer having a high carrier concentration and high crystallinity can be obtained.
