摘要: 本文采用物理气相传输法生长AlN单晶,对其进行高温退火处理,通过调节高温退火时间、温度等条件,获得在深紫外波段具有高透过性能的AlN单晶,同步开展表面形貌、结晶质量及光学性质的表征。结果表明,高温退火工艺可有效降低AlN晶体的缺陷密度,进一步提升AlN晶体的结晶质量,(0002)面摇摆曲线的半峰全宽可由91.2″降低至28.5″。然而,退火温度过高(1 900 ℃)会导致晶片表面出现热腐蚀形貌,深紫外及可见光区域均无光学透过性能。高温退火工艺对AlN晶片中心无色区域的光学性质无明显影响,对边缘有色区域光学透过性能提升显著。与未处理的AlN晶片相较,7 h、1 800 ℃退火工艺对光学性质的提升效果最为显著,在265 nm处的透过率由23.59%提升至48.61%,吸收系数由45.26 cm-1降低至22.59 cm-1。本研究对AlN基光电器件的性能提升具有一定的理论指导。

Abstract: In this paper,AlN single crystals were grown by physical vapor transport method and subjected to high-temperature annealing treatment. By adjusting the high-temperature annealing time,temperature and other parameters,AlN single crystals with high transmission performance in the deep-ultraviolet band were successfully obtained. The surface morphology,crystalline quality and optical properties were systematically characterized. The results indicate that high-temperature annealing process effectively reduces the defect density and significantly improves the crystalline quality of AlN crystals. Specifically,the full width at half maximum of (0002) plane rocking curve decreases from 91.2″ to 28.5″. However,high annealing temperature (1 900 ℃) leads thermal corrosion morphology on the wafer surface and there is no transmittance in the deep-ultraviolet and visible light regions. The high-temperature annealing process has no significant effect on the optical properties of the central colorless region of the AlN wafer,and significantly improves the optical transmission performance of the colored edge region. Compared with AlN wafers before annealing,the most significant effect on the improvement of optical properties is achieved under annealing process at 1 800 ℃ for 7 h. The transmittance at 265 nm increases from 23.59% to 48.61%,and the corresponding absorption coefficient decreases from 45.26 cm-1 to 22.59 cm-1. The research provides theoretical guidance for improving the performance of AlN-based optoelectronic devices.
