초록
수소화기상증착에피탁시로 성장된 GaN 단결정의 표면 특성을 정밀하게 측정하기 위해, 용융 KOH/NaOH 습식화학에칭법을 적용하였다. KOH/NaOH 습식화학에칭법에 에칭속도는 기존의 황산, 인산과 같은 etchant에 비해 느린데, 이는 불용성 코팅층의 형성에 의한 것이다. 따라서 이 방법으로 etch pits density를 더 효율적으로 평가할 수 있었다. 성장된GaN 단결정을 XRD(X-Ray Diffraction), XRC(X-ray rocking curve)로 결정성을 분석하였으며, 에칭 특성과 표면 형상은 주자전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 에칭 실험 결과 격자결함들이 독립적으로 잘 분리되어 있고 그들의 형태가 명확하게나타나는 최적 에칭 조건은 410oC, 25분이었다. 이 조건에서 얻은 결함밀도 값은 2.45 × 106cm−2이었으며, 이는 상업적으로이용 가능 한 정도의 재료임을 확인할 수 있었다.
Abstract
The hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) grown GaN samples to precisely measure the surface characteristicswas applied to a molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etching. The etching rate by molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etchingmethod was slower than that by conventional etching methods, such as phosphoric and sulfuric acid etching, which may bedue to the formation of insoluble coating layer. Therefore, the molten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etching is a betterefficient method for the evaluation of etch pits density. The grown GaN single crystals were characterized by using X-raydiffraction (XRD) and X-ray rocking curve (XRC). The etching characteristics and surface morphologies were studied byscanning electron microscopy (SEM). From etching results, the optimum etching condition that the etch pits were wellindependently separated in space and clearly showed their shape, was 410oC and 25 min. The etch pits density obtained bymolten KOH/NaOH wet chemical etching under optimum etching condition was around 2.45 × 106cm−2, which iscommercially an available materials.
