Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing III-V laser components, a III-V semiconductor layer being formed on a silicon substrate in a process chamber of a reactor from gaseous starting materials, for example trimethyl gallium, trimethyl indium, trimethyl aluminum, phosphine or arsine. For example, gallium nitride is deposited.
- III-nitride semiconductors on foreign substrates such as Sapphire, silicon carbide or silicon is inexpensive because this substrate material is less expensive than III-V substrate material.
- the lattice mismatch of the layer on the substrate is problematic.
- gallium nitride grows rotated by 30 ° to the sapphire and thus reduces part of the lattice mismatch. Due to this twisted growth, there is no common direction of fracture or splitting of the layer relative to the substrate.
- the break line generally runs along the break line or split line of the substrate, because it is considerably thicker than the layer deposited thereon.
- the invention has for its object to provide an inexpensive method to produce high quality lasers.
- the object is achieved by the invention specified in the claims, the main focus being on first depositing an aluminum-containing buffer layer onto a Si substrate, in particular an Si (III) substrate. This is done using MOCVD.
- This buffer layer can consist of aluminum nitride and can be 20 to 100 ran thick.
- the active III-V layer, preferably a III-nitride layer and particularly preferably a gallium nitride layer or a sequence of such layers for component layers is then deposited onto this buffer layer in the same reactor, preferably without further intermediate steps, in such a way that the lattice plane of the Layer runs parallel to the splitting direction of the substrate.
- the break When the substrate is broken, the break then takes place along a crystallographically suitable surface.
- the break occurs essentially along a plane.
- the fracture or gap lines of the Si (III) substrate can then be selected so that plane-parallel layer fracture surfaces are created. These layer fracture areas then form the laser facets.
- the laser facets thus result from only breaking or splitting. This is possible because the crystallographic fracture direction of the silicon substrate and the gallium nitride-based structure coincide.
- the aluminum-containing germ layer is essential. With a seed layer of this type, it is even possible to deposit gallium nitride adapted to the direction of fracture on Si (001). The only problem here is the lack of a common crystal symmetry.
- electrically active layers can be deposited onto the layer sequence described above. It is essential, however, that the hexagonal crystal of gallium nitride is deposited on the cubic crystal lattice of silicon with a corresponding crystal orientation in such a way that the natural fracture directions of the two crystals are in the plane coincide in such a way that only breaking the substrate along the natural break lines creates plane-parallel laser facets.
