Abstract:
III-nitride crystal composites are made up of especially processed crystal slices cut from III-nitride bulk crystal having, ordinarily, a {0001} major surface and disposed adjoining each other sideways, and of III-nitride crystal epitaxially on the bulk-crystal slices. The slices are arranged in such a way that their major surfaces parallel each other, but are not necessarily flush with each other, and so that the [0001] directions in the slices are oriented in the same way.

Abstract:
Affords nitride semiconductor crystal manufacturing apparatuses that are durable and that are for manufacturing nitride semiconductor crystal in which the immixing of impurities from outside the crucible is kept under control, and makes methods for manufacturing such nitride semiconductor crystal, and the nitride semiconductor crystal itself, available.A nitride semiconductor crystal manufacturing apparatus (100) is furnished with a crucible (101), a heating unit (125), and a covering component (110). The crucible (101) is where, interiorly, source material (17) is disposed. The heating unit (125) is disposed about the outer periphery of the crucible (101), where it heats the crucible (101) interior. The covering component (110) is arranged in between the crucible (101) and the heating unit (125). The covering component (110) includes a first layer (111) formed along the side opposing the crucible (101), and made of a metal whose melting point is higher than that of the source material (17), and a second layer (112) formed along the outer periphery of the first layer (111), and made of a carbide of the metal that constitutes the first layer (111).
Abstract:
Methods of growing and manufacturing aluminum nitride crystal, and aluminum nitride crystal produced by the methods. Preventing sublimation of the starting substrate allows aluminum nitride crystal of excellent crystallinity to be grown at improved growth rates. The aluminum nitride crystal growth method includes the following steps. Initially, a laminar baseplate is prepared, furnished with a starting substrate having a major surface and a back side, a first layer formed on the back side, and a second layer formed on the first layer. Aluminum nitride crystal is then grown onto the major surface of the starting substrate by vapor deposition. The first layer is made of a substance that at the temperatures at which the aluminum nitride crystal is grown is less liable to sublimate than the starting substrate. The second layer is made of a substance whose thermal conductivity is higher than that of the first layer.

The present III-nitride crystal manufacturing method, a method of manufacturing a III-nitride crystal (20) having a major surface (20m) of plane orientation other than {0001}, designated by choice, includes: a step of slicing III-nitride bulk crystal (1) into a plurality of III-nitride crystal substrates (10p), (10q) having major surfaces (10pm), (10qm) of the designated plane orientation; a step of disposing the substrates (10p), (10q) adjoining each other sideways in such a way that the major surfaces (10pm), (10qm) of the substrates (10p), (10q) parallel each other and so that the [0001] directions in the substrates (10p), (10q) are oriented in the same way; and a step of growing III-nitride crystal (20) onto the major surfaces (10pm), (10qm) of the substrates (10p), (10q).
Abstract:
A nitride semiconductor substrate having properties preferable for the manufacture of various nitride semiconductor devices is made available, by specifying or controlling the local variation in the off-axis angle of the principal surface of the nitride semiconductor substrate. In a nitride semiconductor single-crystal wafer having a flat principal surface, the crystallographic plane orientation of the principal surface of the nitride semiconductor single-crystal wafer varies locally within a predetermined angular range.
