Problems solved by technology

But when using this structure to grow three substrates (attached image 3 ), the thick film belt changes from circular to annular, adjust the flow field of metal precursor gas, nitride gas and ID gas in the reaction zone, when the thick film belt is moved to the center of the substrate, the thickness uniformity of the epitaxial layer is the best, But its uniformity can only reach about ±15% (see attached Figure 4 ), which is far from meeting the requirement that the thickness uniformity in the chip is less than ±5% in the subsequent device preparation

Abstract

The invention discloses a hydride vapor deposition device and method for improving thickness distribution uniformity of multiple-piece epitaxial materials. The method is used for improving growth uniformity of a large area of multiple-piece GaN thin-film materials. According to the method, a source gas conveying pipeline system of a system is improved, a plurality of sets of concentric circle precursor gas conveying systems formed by a metal precursor gas conveying pipeline, an inert diluent gas conveying pipeline and a nitride precursor conveying pipeline are designed according to the array of a plurality of substrates, therefore, the total distribution probabilities of reaction precursor gases on the surfaces of the substrates can be basically consistent, thus, the thickness uniformity of epitaxial layer thin films of the substrates can be adjusted, and the use ratio of source materials can be improved. The method is simple in process and easy to control, a plurality of pieces can be grown at the same time through one furnace, GaN self-supported substrates for homoepitaxy can be manufactured on a large scale at low cost, and the requirements for optical / microelectronic devices with high photoelectric properties can be met.

Background technique [0002] As an important direct bandgap wide bandgap semiconductor material, GaN-based III-V nitrides are widely used in optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes (LDs) and ultraviolet light detectors, as well as microelectronic power devices such as microwaves and power electronics. It has broad application prospects in the field of devices. [0003] Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) and Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE) are currently more commonly used epitaxy techniques for preparing GaN materials. Now the MOCVD multi-chip machine technology has developed relatively...
