摘要:
A heating process is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of not less than 1650° C. upon an epitaxial substrate including a single crystal base and an upper layer made of a group-III nitride crystal and epitaxially formed on a main surface of the single crystal base. The result shows that the heating process reduces the number of pits in a top surface to produce the effect of improving the surface flatness of the group-III nitride crystal. The result also shows that the dislocation density in the group-III nitride crystal is reduced to not more than one-half the dislocation density obtained before the heat treatment.
摘要:
The crystal orientation of the main surface of a sapphire single crystal base material to constitute an epitaxial substrate is inclined from the orientation (c-axis) preferably for the orientation (m-axis) by a range within 0.02-0.3 degrees. Then, a surface nitride layer is formed at the main surface of the base material. Then, a III nitride underfilm is formed on the main surface of the base material via the surface nitride layer. The III nitride underfilm includes at least Al element, and the full width at half maximum at (101-2) reflection in X-ray rocking curve of the III nitride underfilm is 2000 seconds. The surface roughness Ra within 5 μm area is 3.5 Å.

摘要:
A III nitride semiconductor substrate for ELO is provided for forming a III nitride film whose surface is controlled independent of the film's thickness. A III nitride underlayer including at least Al is directly formed on a base made of e.g. a sapphire single crystal, and not formed through a buffer layer formed at a low temperature. After that patterns made of e.g SiO2 are formed on the underlayer.

Plural island-shaped crystal portions are formed on a first Al-including nitride base. The island-shaped crystal portions are made of a second nitride, and have a nitride film including a third nitride epitaxially grown thereon. The island-shaped crystal portions function as nuclei during the growth of the third nitride-including film.
摘要:
An epitaxial substrate including a single-crystal base material and an upper layer of a group III nitride crystal film which is epitaxially formed on a main surface of the base material undergoes heating treatment in a nitrogen atmosphere at 1950° C. or higher for one minute. The result showed that, while a γ-ALON layer was formed only at the interface between the base material and the upper layer, the dislocation density in the group III nitride crystal was reduced to one tenth or less of the dislocation density before the heating treatment. The result also showed that the surface of the epitaxial substrate after the heating treatment had a reduced number of pits, which confirmed that high-temperature and short-time heating treatment was effective at improving the crystal quality and surface flatness of the group III nitride crystal.
