An X-ray mask blank makes it possible to manufacture an X-ray mask which has an extremely low stress, thus providing an extremely high positional accuracy. In the X-ray mask blank, an X-ray transparent film is formed on a substrate, and an X-ray absorber film is formed on the X-ray transparent film. The top and/or the bottom of the X-ray absorber film is provided with a film in which the product of the film stress and the film thickness thereof lies in the range of 0 to .+-.1.times.10.sup.4 dyn/cm.

An X-ray mask blank and a manufacturing method for an X-ray mask make it possible to manufacture an X-ray mask which has an extremely low stress, thus providing an extremely high positional accuracy. In the X-ray mask blank, an X-ray transparent film is formed on a substrate, and an X-ray absorber film is formed on the X-ray transparent film. An etching mask layer composed of a material containing chromium and carbon, and/or nitrogen is provided on the X-ray absorber film.

There is provided an X-ray mask blank from which an X-ray mask having a remarkably small positional deformation even at a large window size of 50 mm square and a remarkably positional precision can be manufactured. The X-mask blank has an X-ray transparent film on a substrate and an X-ray absorber film on the X-ray transparent film. A product of Young modulus and film thickness of the X-ray transparent film is 6.times.10.sup.8 to 3.times.10.sup.9 dyn/cm.

This invention reduces planar defects which occur within a silicon carbide single crystal when a silicon carbide single crystal is epitaxially grown on a single crystal substrate.The process for producing a silicon carbide single crystal in which a silicon carbide single crystal layer is epitaxially grown on the surface of a single crystal substrate is a process in which a plurality of undulations that extend in a single, substantially parallel direction on the substrate surface is formed on the single crystal substrate surface; undulation ridges on the single crystal substrate undulate in the thickness direction of the single crystal substrate; and the undulations are disposed so that planar defects composed of anti-phase boundaries and/or twin bands that propagate together with the epitaxial growth of the silicon carbide single crystal merge with each other.

Provided is a method of manufacturing compound single crystals by epitaxially growing a compound single crystal layer differing from the substrate in which the planar defects generated in the crystal that is epitaxially grown are reduced. The method of manufacturing compound single crystals in which a compound single crystalline layer differing from a compound single crystalline substrate is epitaxially grown on the surface of said substrate. Plural undulations extending in a single direction are present on at least a portion of the surface of said substrate, and in that said undulations are provided in such a manner that as said compound single crystalline layer grows, the defects that grow meet each other.

There is disclosed a method for manufacturing a silicon carbide film in which a crystal orientation continued on a single crystal substrate surface and silicon carbide is allowed to epitaxially grow, the method comprising the steps of: entirely or partially providing the substrate surface with a plurality of undulations extended parallel in one direction; and allowing silicon carbide to grow on the substrate surface.
摘要:
A process for producing a silicon carbide single crystal in which a silicon carbide single crystal layer is homo-epitaxially or hetero-epitaxially grown on a surface of a single crystal substrate, wherein a plurality of substantially parallel undulation ridges that extend in a first direction on the single crystal substrate surface is formed on said single crystal substrate surface; each of the undulation ridges on said single crystal substrate surface has a height that undulates as each of the undulation ridges extends in the first direction; and the undulation ridges are disposed so that planar defects composed of anti-phase boundaries and/or twin bands that propagate together with the epitaxial growth of the silicon carbide single crystal merge with each other.

Provided are a compound semiconductor crystal substrate capable of reducing planar defects such as twins and anti-phase boundaries occurring in epitaxially grown crystals without additional steps beyond epitaxial growth, and a method of manufacturing the same. A compound single crystal substrate, the basal plane of which is a nonpolar face, with said basal plane having a partial surface having polarity (a partial polar surface). Said partial polar surface is a polar portion of higher surface energy than said basal plane. A method of manufacturing the compound single crystal substrate, comprising the steps of: epitaxially growing a compound single crystal in the normal direction on a basal plane of a compound single crystal substrate wherein the basal plane is a nonpolar face and has a partial polar surface in a portion thereof, and either cutting the compound single crystal layer that has been grown in parallel to the basal plane, or removing at least said substrate to obtain a compound single crystal block, a basal plane of which is a nonpolar face only having a partial polar surface with the highest surface energy in a portion thereof.
