Description

Method for modulating internal polarization of InGaN/GaN heterojunction film
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor piezoelectric optoelectronics, in particular to a method for modulating internal polarization of an InGaN/GaN heterojunction film.
Background
The LED is the most widely used active device in the electronic information industry today, and has the advantages of environmental protection, energy saving, high efficiency, long service life, etc., and is more and more concerned by people, playing a particularly important role in many fields, and having a great application prospect. For example, in traffic, the device can be used for highway signal indicator lamps, automobile manufacturing industry, automobile indicator lamps, instrument panels and the like; in the lighting industry, the traditional incandescent lamp light source is replaced by daily lighting, and meanwhile, energy conservation can be realized. With the continuous commercialization of high-brightness InGaN blue-green LEDs, people begin to explore how to manufacture more energy-saving and high-brightness InGaN blue-green LEDs.
The GaN material is a representative III-V group nitride material, the forbidden band width of the GaN material is 3.4eV, and the GaN material is a preferred material for manufacturing a blue LED due to stable property and good thermal conductivity. The InN has a forbidden band width of 0.7eV, and the forbidden band width of the ternary compound InGaN can be controlled to be 0.7eV-3.4eV by adjusting the In component In the ternary compound InGaN, so that the corresponding wavelength almost covers the whole solar spectrum, and the InGaN becomes an important material for manufacturing LED materials. However, the lattice constant of InN is 11% larger than that of GaN, which leads to piezoelectric polarization caused by lattice mismatch, so that quantum confinement stark effect dominates, and the efficiency of an LED based on InGaN multiple quantum wells is reduced.
In recent years, when growing an InGaN/GaN heterojunction film, the lattice mismatch degree of a well layer and a barrier layer can be reduced by doping Si in a GaN barrier layer of an InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well during InGaN growth; and the method for manufacturing InGaN/GaN trapezoidal multi-quantum well by adjusting the In component In the well layer can be used for reducing the influence of the polarization effect on the luminous efficiency of the InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well.

Example 2
The embodiment provides a method for modulating the internal polarization of an InGaN/GaN heterojunction film, which comprises the growth, stripping, transfer and piezoelectric modulation processes of the InGaN/GaN heterojunction film.
The growth process of the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film specifically comprises the following steps:
the sapphire is taken as a growth substrate, and an epitaxial substrate comprising an InGaN/GaN heterojunction film is prepared by adopting a metal organic chemical vapor deposition method. As shown in fig. 2, the epitaxial substrate includes a sapphire substrate 1, and a first undoped GaN layer 2, a heavily doped n-GaN layer 3, a lightly doped n-GaN layer 4, a second undoped GaN layer 5, an InGaN quantum well layer 6, and a p-GaN layer 7 sequentially grown on the sapphire substrate 1.
The actual operation process is as follows: the sapphire substrate 1 is loaded into a reaction chamber of a metal organic chemical vapor deposition system, and then a first undoped GaN layer 2 with a thickness of 1 μm, a heavily doped n-GaN layer 3 with a thickness of 2.5 μm, a lightly doped n-GaN layer 4 with a thickness of 200nm, a second undoped GaN layer 5 with a thickness of 3 μm, an InGaN quantum well layer 6 with a thickness of 10nm, and a p-GaN layer 7 with a thickness of 250nm are sequentially grown according to an epitaxial structure shown in fig. 2.
The stripping process is as follows: and stripping the InGaN/GaN heterojunction film growing on the heavily doped n-GaN layer 3 by adopting an electrochemical corrosion method.
The actual operation process is as follows: preparing oxalic acid electrolyte with the concentration of 0.3 mol/L.
And cutting the grown epitaxial substrate into 4mm multiplied by 10mm slices, cleaning the slices by acetone, isopropanol and deionized water, drying the slices by nitrogen, and finally baking the slices on a hot table for 5min to remove water molecules on the surface.
One end of the cut substrate was scribed with a diamond stylus into positive stripes of 2mm x 2mm or 1mm x 1mm to expose the heavily doped n-GaN layer 3.
The heavily doped n-GaN layer 3 is coated with silver paste, and the silver paste is left for a few minutes to form an electrode after solidification.
One side of the substrate coated with silver paste was connected to a Pt electrode with a clip as an anode for electrochemical corrosion, and the other Pt electrode was used as a cathode for electrochemical corrosion.
A direct current power supply, a substrate packaged by silver paste, a Pt sheet cathode and 0.3-0.5 mol/L oxalic acid electrolyte are connected in series to form a closed loop.
And adjusting the direct current power supply to enable the voltage of the direct current power supply to be 25V and the etching time to be 20min, wherein the etching process is shown in figure 3, and finally the InGaN/GaN heterojunction film on the epitaxial substrate is stripped from the sapphire substrate.
In the actual operation process, the epitaxial substrate, the Pt sheet cathode, the direct current power supply and the oxalic acid electrolyte packaged by the silver paste are connected in series through the conducting wires to form a closed loop, and the epitaxial substrate, the Pt sheet cathode, the direct current power supply and the oxalic acid electrolyte packaged by the silver paste are packaged into a whole.
The transfer process is as follows: the InGaN/GaN heterojunction film and the sapphire substrate are separated by the transparent adhesive tape and transferred onto the PET substrate, so that the stripped InGaN/GaN heterojunction film is attached to the PET substrate, namely, the InGaN/GaN heterojunction film is not separated from the PET substrate when stress is applied.
The actual operation process is as follows: the etched substrate was placed under a microscope.
The transparent adhesive tape was cut into stripes of 0.1mm X1 cm.
The cut transparent adhesive tape is lightly placed at the upper end of the corroded substrate, and the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film which is completely separated from the sapphire substrate, namely the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film above the heavily doped n-GaN layer 3 can be separated from the original substrate, is collected by using the principle of electrostatic attraction of small objects.
The InGaN/GaN heterojunction film was transferred under a microscope onto a flexible PET substrate that had been cleaned with oxygen plasma using a 0.1mm by 1cm transparent tape and bonded together.
In this example, the area of the flexible PET substrate was 2cm2
The piezoelectric modulation process is as follows: tensile stress and compressive stress are applied to a PET substrate containing the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film through a 3D displacement platform (because the Young modulus of the PET substrate is larger, the force applied to the PET substrate is applied to the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film), and then photoluminescence spectrums of the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film under different stresses are collected.
The actual operation process is as follows:
building a piezoelectric test light path as shown in FIG. 4; the piezoelectric testing optical path comprises a 325nm He-Cd laser 11, two large and constant photoelectric 3D displacement platforms 12, a 400nm optical filter 13, a convex lens 14 with the focal length of 5cm and a spectrometer 15 with the model of Maya Pro 2000. In fig. 4, the black line indicates the path of the laser beam.
The two 3D stages 12 were calibrated to zero and a PET substrate 16 containing an InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film was placed on the two 3D stages 12.
And opening the He-Cd laser 11 and preheating for 10-15 min.
Adjusting two 3D displacement platforms 12 to deform a PET substrate 16 containing an InGaN/GaN heterojunction film, irradiating the InGaN/GaN heterojunction film with laser emitted by a 325nm He-Cd laser 11 to make the InGaN/GaN heterojunction film photoluminescence, focusing the emitted fluorescence by using a focusing mirror 14, and finally collecting the emitted fluorescence by using a spectrometer 15 of Maya Pro 2000 model to generate a photoluminescence spectrum.
The two 3D stages 12 were adjusted to deform the PET substrate 16 containing the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film differently, and the above operation was repeated.
In the present embodiment, each of the 3D stages 12 is a manual stage, and is mounted at both ends of the PET substrate 16 including the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film, and is capable of simultaneously applying stress (including compressive stress and tensile stress) to the PET substrate 16 including the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film. Wherein the stress applied to the PET substrate 16 containing the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film is in the range of 0-0.4%, and cannot be too large, which may cause the PET substrate to crack.
In the test of applying 0-0.4% compressive stress and tensile stress to the PET substrate 16 including the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film, the magnitude of the applied stress was calculated by adjusting the axial travel distance of XYZ axes on the 3D stage 12.
The 325nm He-Cd laser 11 comprises a PET substrate 16 of an InGaN/GaN heterojunction film, two 3D displacement platforms 12, a 400nm optical filter 13, a convex lens 14 with the focal length of 5cm, and a spectrometer 15 of Maya Pro 2000 type, and is packaged into a whole.
The piezoelectric testing optical path built by the embodiment is relatively simple and low in cost, but can be used for efficiently measuring the obvious change of PL light intensity caused by the modulation of the internal polarization of the InGaN/GaN heterojunction thin film by the piezoelectric.
The experimental results are shown in fig. 5-6, the PL light intensity is changed by 600% before and after under the action of compressive stress, the PL light intensity is changed by 800% before and after under the action of tensile stress, and the piezoelectric polarization effect is obvious. Reflecting the difference between the front and back photoluminescence intensities of the InGaN/GaN heterojunction film under different stresses. The intensity of photoluminescence is strongly related to the modulation of internal polarization, and if the tensile stress applied along the c-axis is increased and the externally induced polarization is in the same direction as the polarization inside InGaN, the carrier recombination efficiency in InGaN is reduced and the intensity of photoluminescence is reduced. On the contrary, under the action of compressive stress, the polarization caused by external application is opposite to the polarization direction in the InGaN, so that the carrier recombination efficiency in the InGaN is increased, and the photoluminescence intensity is increased. Of course, if too much compressive stress is applied, lattice scattering inside GaN will also cause a decrease in photoluminescence intensity.
Example 3
On the basis of embodiment 2, molten In metal is placed on the position of the heavily doped n-GaN layer 3, and good ohmic contact can be formed between the heavily doped n-GaN layer 3 and the electrode Pt sheet, so that the carrier transport is enhanced.
Example 4
On the basis of the embodiment 2, the heavily doped n-GaN layer 3 is etched by a voltage transformation method, and the voltage range is 18-25V. Because the silver paste electrode is easy to fall off along with the progress of the corrosion reaction, the voltage is increased timely to be beneficial to the progress of the corrosion reaction, but the area of the obtained InGaN/GaN heterojunction film is larger when the voltage is slightly small.
