A method for producing a semiconductor light emitting device is disclosed. The method comprises the step of growing a nitride type III-V group compound semiconductor layer that forms a light emitting device structure on a principal plane of a nitride type III-V group compound semiconductor substrate on which a plurality of second regions made of a crystal having a second average dislocation density are regularly arranged in a first region made of a crystal having a first average dislocation density so as to produce a semiconductor light emitting device, the second average dislocation density being greater than the first average dislocation density. The nitride type III-V group compound semiconductor layer does not directly contact the second regions on the principal plane of the nitride type III-V group compound semiconductor substrate.

A low dislocation density GaN single crystal substrate is made by forming a seed mask having parallel stripes regularly and periodically aligning on an undersubstrate, growing a GaN crystal on a facet-growth condition, forming repetitions of parallel facet hills and facet valleys rooted upon the mask stripes, maintaining the facet hills and facet valleys, producing voluminous defect accumulating regions (H) accompanying the valleys, yielding low dislocation single crystal regions (Z) following the facets, making C-plane growth regions (Y) following flat tops between the facets, gathering dislocations on the facets into the valleys by the action of the growing facets, reducing dislocations in the low dislocation single crystal regions (Z) and the C-plane growth regions (Y), and accumulating the dislocations in cores (S) or interfaces (K) of the voluminous defect accumulating regions (H).
摘要:
Seeds are implanted in a regular pattern upon an undersubstrate. A GaN crystal is grown on the seed implanted undersubstrate by a facet growth method. The facet growth makes facet pits above the seeds. The facets assemble dislocations to the pit bottoms from neighboring regions and make closed defect accumulating regions (H) under the facet bottoms. The closed defect accumulating regions (H) arrest dislocations permanently. Release of dislocations, radial planar defect assemblies and linear defect assemblies are forbidden. The surrounding accompanying low dislocation single crystal regions (Z) and extra low dislocation single crystal regions (Y) are low dislocation density single crystals.

Oxygen can be doped into a gallium nitride crystal by preparing a non-C-plane gallium nitride seed crystal, supplying material gases including gallium, nitrogen and oxygen to the non-C-plane gallium nitride seed crystal, growing a non-C-plane gallium nitride crystal on the non-C-plane gallium nitride seed crystal and allowing oxygen to infiltrate via a non-C-plane surface to the growing gallium nitride crystal. Otherwise, oxygen can be doped into a gallium nitride crystal by preparing a C-plane gallium nitride seed crystal or a three-rotationally symmetric plane foreign material seed crystal, supplying material gases including gallium, nitrogen and oxygen to the C-plane gallium nitride seed crystal or the three-rotationally symmetric foreign seed crystal, growing a faceted C-plane gallium nitride crystal having facets of non-C-planes on the seed crystal, maintaining the facets on the C-plane gallium nitride crystal and allowing oxygen to infiltrate via the non-C-plane facets to the gallium nitride crystal.
摘要:
Manufacture at lower cost of off-axis GaN single-crystal freestanding substrates having a crystal orientation that is displaced from (0001) instead of (0001) exact. With an off-axis (111) GaAs wafer as a starting substrate, GaN is vapor-deposited onto the starting substrate, which grows GaN crystal that is inclined at the same off-axis angle and in the same direction as is the starting substrate. Misoriented freestanding GaN substrates may be manufactured, utilizing a misoriented (111) GaAs baseplate as a starting substrate, by forming onto the starting substrate a mask having a plurality of apertures, depositing through the mask a GaN single-crystal layer, and then removing the starting substrate. The manufacture of GaN crystal having a misorientation of 0.1° to 25° is made possible.
摘要:
A nitride semiconductor laser device with a reduction in internal crystal defects and an alleviation in stress, and a semiconductor optical apparatus comprising this nitride semiconductor laser device. First, a growth suppressing film against GaN crystal growth is formed on the surface of an n-type GaN substrate equipped with alternate stripes of dislocation concentrated regions showing a high density of crystal defects and low-dislocation regions so as to coat the dislocation concentrate regions. Next, the n-type GaN substrate coated with the growth suppressing film is overlaid with a nitride semiconductor layer by the epitaxial growth of GaN crystals. Further, the growth suppressing film is removed to adjust the lateral distance between a laser waveguide region and the closest dislocation concentrated region to 40 μm or more.
