    [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0001]
    [0002] The present invention relates to a GaN system compound semiconductor used in a blue laser diode or a blue light emissive diode and a method for fabricating the same, and more particularly, to a GaN system compound semiconductor in which an In[0002] xAl1-xN crystal is grown initially on a sapphire substrate as a buffer layer, and a GaN or an InxGa1-xN crystal, GaN system semiconductor, is grown thereon, for improving a surface flatness of the crystal, reducing a stress, and crystal defects; and a method for growing a crystal thereof.
    [0003] 2. Background of the Related Art [0003]
    [0004] GaN or In[0004] xGa1-xN crystal, GaN system semiconductor widely used in blue laser diodes or blue light emissive diodes, is fabricated by MOVPE(Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy) in which an AlN or GaN crystal is grown to a thickness of a few tens of nm at a low temperature of 500 - 600° C. on a sapphire(Al2O3) substrate and growing a GaN or InxGa1-xN crystal at an elevated temperature in the vicinity of 1100° C. When the AlN or GaN intermediate buffer layer is grown on the sapphire substrate at a low temperature, a rugged columnar AlN or GaN crystal is grown at first, and when a crystal is grown using the irregular columnar AlN or GaN crystal as basis at an elevated temperature, the crystal is grown evenly in a lateral direction, facilitating comparatively flat single crystal growth when the crystal is grown to a certain thickness. The GaN or InxGa1-xN crystal growth on the AlN or GaN intermediate buffer layer grown at a low temperature has advantages in that drawbacks caused by crystal lattice mismatch between the sapphire substrate and the GaN or InxGa1-xN crystal and a difference of expansion coefficients can be improved.
    [0005] However, the AlN or GaN intermediate buffer layer grown on the sapphire substrate at a low temperature controls a crystal characteristics at a starting of crystallization, which in turn controls the GaN or In[0005] xGa1-xN crystal characteristics, which is grown thereafter. Because crystal defects of the GaN or InxGa1-xN grown on AlN or GaN are dependent on the initial crystal of the AlN or GaN grown on the sapphire substrate, particularly the large space between columnar crystals formed initially and the great crystallization stress coming from the comparatively strong crystal bonding force of the AIN or GaN controls an irregularity(i.e., spaces between respective microcrystals), crystalline, and a surface size of the column, of the initial columns of the AlN or GaN, the GaN or InxGa1-xN crystal defects has a high crystal defect concentration in a range of approx. 109/cm2, if the GaN or InxGa1-xN crystal is grown by using the AlN or GaN crystal on the sapphire substrate as an intermediate buffer layer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [0006] Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a GaN system compound semiconductor and a method for growing a crystal thereof that substantially obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. [0006]
    [0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a GaN system compound semiconductor and a method for growing a crystal thereof, which can reduce a concentration of crystalline defects caused by lattice mismatch, significantly. [0007]

[0008]

    [0011] In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a GaN system compound semiconductor including a sapphire substrate, an intermediate buffer layer of In[0011] xAl1-xN grown on the sapphire substrate, and a GaN system compound semiconductor of GaN or InxGa1-xN grown on the intermediate buffer layer.
    [0012] In further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a GaN system compound semiconductor including a sapphire substrate, a superlattice structure of In[0012] xAl1-x/AlN or InxAl1-xN/GaN grown on the sapphire substrate as an intermediate buffer layer, and a GaN system compound semiconductor of GaN or InxGa1-xN grown on the intermediate buffer layer.
    [0013] By using In[0013] xAl1-xN or InxAl1-xN/GaN as an intermediate buffer layer, which has a lattice constant in the middle of a lattice constant of the GaN system compound semiconductor of GaN or InxGa1-xN intended to grow on a sapphire substrate, the GaN system compound semiconductor and the method for growing a crystal thereof of the present invention can overcome a great lattice mismatch between the substrate and the GaN system compound semiconductor which can not be sustained only by AlN, to reduce a concentration of crystalline defects caused by the lattice mismatch, significantly.
    [0014] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed. [0014] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    [0015] The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention: [0015]
    [0016] In the drawings: [0016]
    [0017] FIG. 1 illustrates a section of a GaN system compound semiconductor grown in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, schematically; and, [0017]
    [0018] FIG. 2 illustrates a section of a GaN system compound semiconductor grown in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, schematically. [0018] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
    [0019] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates a section of a GaN system compound semiconductor grown in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. [0019]
    [0020] Referring to FIG. 1, the method for growing a GaN system compound semiconductor in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention starts with providing a sapphire Al[0020] 2O3 substrate 10 and growing an InxAl1-xN intermediate buffer layer 11. In the formation of the buffer layer 11, TMAI(Tri-Methyl-Aluminum) or TEAI(Tri-Eethyl-Aluminum) is used as a source of aluminum in the InxAl1-xN, TMIn(Tri-Methyl-Indium) or TEIn(Tri-Ethyl-Indium) is used as a source of In in the InxAl1-xN, NH3 or N2 gas as a source of N, and H2 or N2 is used as a carrier gas for carrying the sources of Al and In. A crystal growth temperature may be optimized according to an In composition ‘x’ in the InxAl1-xN in a range of 200 - 1,100° C. depending on a crystal growing equipment for carrying out an MOVPE, and the InxAl1-xN has a thickness of 10-10,000 Å. If the InxAl1-xN has a thickness greater than 10,000 Å, the InxAl1-xN may have additional crystalline defects caused by its own strain energy, and if the InxAl1-xN has a thickness smaller than 10 Å, the InxAl1-xN can not function as a buffer layer as the InxAl1-xN is too thin. An In composition ‘x’ in InxAl1-xN is 0<x<1, wherein the lattice mismatch between the substrate and the GaN or InxGa1-xN can be minimized if ‘x’ is approx. 0.05 when a GaN is grown by using InxAl1-xN as an intermediate buffer layer, and if ‘x’ is approx. 0.1 when the InxGa1-xN is grown. The intermediate buffer layer 11 may be doped with N type or P type as necessary. Then, a temperature of the substrate is elevated and GaN or InxGa1-xN are grown on the intermediate buffer layer 11 as a GaN system compound semiconductor layer. In the case of growing GaN, the GaN is grown at a temperature of 900 - 1,100° C., and in the case of growing InxGa1-xN, the InxGa1-xN is grown at a temperature of 550 - 800° C. In a case when the In composition in InxAl1-xN, the buffer layer 11, starts to increase, the crystal growing temperature is elevated for growing the InxGa1-xN or GaN, a GaN system compound semiconductor, after the InxAl1-xN intermediate buffer layer 11 is grown, when a problem of In vaporization at a surface of the InxAl1-xN may be caused. In order to prevent this, it is preferable that a protection film(not shown) of a thin GaN with a thickness of 5 - 50 Å is grown on the InxAl1-xN intermediate buffer layer 11.
    [0021] FIG. 2 illustrates a section of a GaN system compound semiconductor grown in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, schematically. Though the first embodiment suggests to use the In[0021] xAl1-xN as the intermediate buffer layer, the second embodiment suggests to use an InxAl1-xN /GaN or InxAl1-xN/AlN superlattice layer as the intermediate buffer layer 11′, otherwise both embodiment are the same. Therefore, components identical to the first embodiment are given the same reference symbols, and explanations on the components will be omitted. It is discussed in the first embodiment that, if the InxAl1-xN is too thick to be greater than 10,000 Å, the InxAl1-xN may have additional crystalline defects caused by its own strain energy. Accordingly, in order to improve the drawback of the first embodiment, InxAl1-xN/GaN or InxAl1-xN/AlN superlattice layer is grown as the intermediate buffer layer 11′ in the second embodiment instead of the InxAl1-xN as the intermediate buffer layer. Of the superlattice of InxAl1-xN/GaN or InxAl1-xN/AlN in the intermediate buffer layer 11, the InxAl1-xN/GaN is formed to have a thickness of 1 - 200 Å, and the GaN or the AlN is formed to have a thickness of 1 - 200 Å, with 1 - 300 layers.
    [0022] As has been explained, the GaN system compound semiconductor and the method for growing a crystal thereof has the following advantages. [0022]
    [0023] First, as an amount of In in the In[0023] xAl1-xN is varied, a lattice constant C of the InxAl1-xN is expressed as C=3.112+0.436x, the lattice mismatch between the substrate and the GaN or InxGa1-xN can be minimized if ‘x’ is approx. 0.05 when a GaN is grown by using InxAl1-xN as an intermediate buffer layer, and if ‘x’ is approx. 0.1 when the InxGa1-xN is grown, by using such an InxAl1-xN as the intermediate buffer layer, crystalline defects caused by lattice mismatch can be reduced, significantly.
    [0024] Second, by adding In to AlN to produce In[0024] xAl1-xN alloy which has a better ductility than AlN that can improve a capability to absorb a strain energy coming from the lattice mismatch, a concentration of crystalline defects of GaN or InxGa1-xN layer grown on the buffer layer can be reduced, substantially.
    [0025] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the GaN system compound semiconductor and the method for growing a crystal thereof of the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents. [0025]
