    摘要: To provide a semiconductor substrate of high quality suitable for fabricating an electronic device or an optical device. The present invention provides a method for producing a semiconductor substrate for an electronic device or an optical device, the method including reacting nitrogen (N) with gallium (Ga), aluminum (Al), or indium (In), which are group III elements, in a flux mixture containing a plurality of metal elements selected from among alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, to thereby grow a group III nitride based compound semiconductor crystal. The group III nitride based compound semiconductor crystal is grown while the flux mixture and the group III element are mixed under stirring. At least a portion of a base substrate on which the group III nitride based compound semiconductor crystal is grown is formed of a flux-soluble material, and the flux-soluble material is dissolved in the flux mixture, at a temperature near the growth temperature of the group III nitride based compound semiconductor crystal, during the course of growth of the semiconductor crystal or after completion of growth of the semiconductor crystal.

    摘要: An object of the invention is to carry out the flux method with improved work efficiency while maintaining the purity of flux at high level and saving flux material cost. The sodium-purifying apparatus includes a sodium-holding-and-management apparatus for maintaining purified sodium (Na) in a liquid state. Liquid sodium is supplied into a sodium-holding-and-management apparatus through a liquid-sodium supply piping maintained at 100° C. to 200° C. The sodium-holding-and-management apparatus further has an argon-gas-purifying apparatus for controlling the condition of argon (Ar) gas that fills the internal space thereof. Thus, by opening and closing a faucet at desired timing, purified liquid sodium (Na) supplied from the sodium-purifying apparatus can be introduced into a crucible as appropriate via the liquid-sodium supply piping, the sodium-holding-and-management apparatus, and the piping.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for producing a Group III nitride compound semiconductor crystal, the semiconductor crystal being grown through the flux method employing a flux. At least a portion of a substrate on which the semiconductor crystal is to be grown is formed of a flux-soluble material. While the semiconductor crystal is grown on a surface of the substrate, the flux-soluble material is dissolved in the flux from a surface of the substrate that is opposite the surface on which the semiconductor crystal is grown. Alternatively, after the semiconductor crystal has been grown on a surface of the substrate, the flux-soluble material is dissolved in the flux from a surface of the substrate that is opposite the surface on which the semiconductor crystal has been grown. The flux-soluble material is formed of silicon. Alternatively, the flux-soluble material or the substrate is formed of a Group III nitride compound semiconductor having a dislocation density higher than that of the semiconductor crystal to be grown.

    摘要: An apparatus for manufacturing a Group III nitride semiconductor is composed of a pressure vessel, a reaction vessel disposed within the pressure vessel, a heating device disposed within the pressure vessel so as to heat the reaction vessel, and a glove box filled with argon gas. The pressure vessel and the glove box are connected to each other via a gate valve. By virtue of this configuration, a large-sized reusable reaction vessel can be disposed within the pressure vessel without causing oxidation of Na.
