Abstract

The invention discloses a method of preparing a warp-free group-III nitride composite substrate and a substrate placing device. A substrate with both sides polished is erected on the substrate placing device and placed in a reaction chamber, a group-III nitride film or microstructure is grown on the both sides at the same time in an epitaxial manner to form a buffer layer, thick-film group-III nitride is grown on the both sides at the same time, and the epitaxial thickness of one side of the AL surface of sapphire is slightly greater than the epitaxial layer thickness of one side of the O surface. The substrate placing device is a multi-piece graphite frame, and comprises a base, a hole, rollers, and slots. The substrate can be rotated, and the uniformity in thickness of the grown films is ensured. Warping is inhibited, the quality of crystal is improved, and the obtained composite substrate can be used as a group-III nitride quasi-homogeneous epitaxial substrate to prepare related optoelectronic devices. According to the invention, the space of the reaction chamber is fully utilized, the production cost is reduced, the process is simple and easy to control, and different substrates can be selected and a variety of equipment can be used to grow a variety of thick-film group-III nitride substrates.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of optoelectronic devices, and relates to a preparation technology of an efficient non-warping group III nitride compound substrate. Background technique [0002] Group III nitride semiconductors have gradually developed into a new generation of lighting sources due to their advantages such as long life, energy saving, environmental protection, rich colors, safety and stability. However, since GaN-based LEDs mainly use sapphire substrates, there is a large lattice mismatch and thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between GaN and GaN. Therefore, as the thickness of the epitaxial layer increases, the stress gradually accumulates, which leads to warping of the template. Qu, which caused great difficulties for the next step of device preparation. [0003] In terms of material growth: due to the existence of warping, during the quantum well growth process on the HVPE thick film template, the distance betw...
