Method of fabricating nitride semiconductor device
View Patent ↗The method of fabricating a nitride semiconductor device of this invention includes plural steps of respectively growing plural nitride semiconductor layers on a substrate; and between a step of growing one nitride semiconductor layer and a step of growing another nitride semiconductor layer adjacent to the one nitride semiconductor layer among the plural steps, a step of changing a growth ambient pressure from a first growth ambient pressure to a second growth ambient pressure different from the first growth ambient pressure.
1. A method of fabricating a nitride semiconductor device by a vapor deposition method comprising the steps of:
forming plural seed crystals on a substrate;
selectively growing, on said substrate, a first nitride semiconductor layer including aluminum from said plural seed crystals under a first growth ambient pressure; and
growing, on said first nitride semiconductor layer, a second nitride semiconductor layer under a second growth ambient pressure different from said first growth ambient pressure,
wherein said first growth ambient pressure is lower than said second growth ambient pressure, and is lower than the atmospheric pressure.
2. The method of fabricating a nitride semiconductor device of claim 1 ,
wherein a first growth temperature employed for growing said first nitride semiconductor layer and a second growth temperature employed for growing said second nitride semiconductor layer are different from each other.
3. The method of fabricating a nitride semiconductor device of claim 2 ,
wherein said second growth temperature is higher than said first growth temperature.
