    摘要: A method for abrasing a GaN substrate which comprises a step (a first abrasion step) of abrasing the GaN substrate using a surface plate (101) and an abrasive fluid (27) containing an abrasive material (23) and a lubricating agent (25), while supplying the abrasive fluid (27) onto the surface plate (101), and a step (a second abrasion step)of abrasing the GaN substrate using a surface plate (101) having an abrasive material (29) implanted therein, while supplying a lubricating agent (31) onto the surface plate (101) having an abrasive material (29) implanted therein.

    摘要: A processing-degenerated layer occurs when nitride semiconductor single crystal wafers are polished. Etching must be performed for removing the processing-degenerated layer. However, since nitride semiconductors are chemically inert, no appropriate etchant is available. Although potassium hydroxide and phosphoric acid have been proposed as an etchant for GaN, their power of corroding the surface of Ga is weak. For removing the processing-degenerated layer, dry etching with the use of halogen plasma can be conducted. Even Ga surface can be pared off by halogen plasma. However, the dry etching would cause a new problem of surface contamination by metal particles. Therefore, wet etching is performed by the use of HF+H2O2, H2SO4+H2O2, HCl+H2O2, HNO3, etc. having no selectivity, being corrosive and having an oxidation-reduction potential of 1.2 V or higher as an etchant.
