Abstract:
Affords Group-III nitride single-crystal ingots and III-nitride single-crystal substrates manufactured utilizing the ingots, as well as methods of manufacturing III-nitride single-crystal ingots and methods of manufacturing III-nitride single-crystal substrates, wherein the incidence of cracking during length-extending growth is reduced. Characterized by including a step of etching the edge surface of a base substrate, and a step of epitaxially growing onto the base substrate hexagonal-system III-nitride monocrystal having crystallographic planes on its side surfaces. In order to reduce occurrences of cracking during length-extending growth of the ingot, depositing-out of polycrystal and out-of-plane oriented crystal onto the periphery of the monocrystal must be controlled. A layer of the base substrate edge surface, as just described, where it has been mechanically altered is removed beforehand by etching, whereby crystallographic planes form on the side surfaces of the III-nitride single-crystal ingot that is formed onto the base substrate, which therefore controls depositing-out of polycrystal and out-of-plane oriented crystal and reduces occurrences of cracking.

Abstract:
There is provided a method for fabricating a gallium nitride crystal with low dislocation density, high crystallinity, and resistance to cracking during polishing of sliced pieces by growing the gallium nitride crystal using a gallium nitride substrate including dislocation-concentrated regions or inverted-polarity regions as a seed crystal substrate. Growing a gallium nitride crystal 79 at a growth temperature higher than 1,100° C. and equal to or lower than 1,300° C. so as to bury dislocation-concentrated regions or inverted-polarity regions 17a reduces dislocations inherited from the dislocation-concentrated regions or inverted regions 17a, thus preventing new dislocations from occurring over the dislocation-concentrated regions or inverted-polarity regions 17a. This also increases the crystallinity of the gallium nitride crystal 79 and its resistance to cracking during the polishing.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of cleaning a GaAs substrate with less precipitate particles after cleaning. This cleaning method comprises an acid cleaning step (S11), a deionized water rinsing step (S12), and a rotary drying step (S13). First, a GaAs substrate with a mirror finished surface is immersed in an acid cleaning solution in the acid cleaning step (S11). In the acid cleaning step, the cleaning time is less than 30 seconds. Next, the deionized water rinsing step performs the cleaned GaAs substrate with deionized water (S12) to wash away the cleaning solution deposited thereon. Subsequently, the rotary drying step dries the GaAs substrate deposited on deionized water (S13). This provides the cleaned GaAs substrate with less precipitate particles.
