A surface layer of AlN is epitaxially formed on a c-plane sapphire single crystal base material by MOCVD method, and the resulting laminated body is then heated at a temperature of 1300° C. or higher so that a template substrate applying in-plane compressive stress and having a surface layer flat at a substantially atomic level is obtained.

    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: 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.
