摘要:
A GaN single crystal 20 is grown on a crystal growth surface of a seed crystal (GaN layer 13) through the flux method in a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere at 3.7 MPa and 870° C. employing a flux mixture including Ga, Na, and Li at about 870° C. Since the back surface of the template 10 is R-plane of the sapphire substrate 11, the template 10 is readily corroded or dissolved in the flux mixture from the back surface thereof. Therefore, the template 10 is gradually dissolved or corroded from the back surface thereof, resulting in separation from the semiconductor or dissolution in the flux. When the GaN single crystal 20 is grown to a sufficient thickness, for example, about 500 μm or more, the temperature of the crucible is maintained at 850° C. to 880° C., whereby the entirety of the sapphire substrate 11 is dissolved in the flux mixture.
摘要:
Objects of the invention are to further enhance crystallinity and crystallinity uniformity of a semiconductor crystal produced through the flux method, and to effectively enhance the production yield of the semiconductor crystal. The c-axis of a seed crystal including a GaN single-crystal layer is aligned in a horizontal direction (y-axis direction), one a-axis of the seed crystal is aligned in the vertical direction, and one m-axis is aligned in the x-axis direction. Thus, three contact points at which a supporting tool contacts the seed crystal are present on m-plane. The supporting tool has two supporting members, which extend in the vertical direction. One supporting member has an end part, which is inclined at 30° with respect to the horizontal plane α. The reasons for supporting a seed crystal at m-plane thereof are that m-plane exhibits a crystal growth rate, which is lower than that of a-plane, and that desired crystal growth on c-plane is not inhibited. Actually, a plurality of seed crystals and supporting tools are periodically placed along the y-axis direction.
