Abstract

According to an aspect of a present inventive subject matter, a method for producing a crystalline film includes gasifying a metal source to turn the metal source into a metal-containing raw-material gas; supplying the metal-containing raw-material gas and an oxygen-containing raw-material gas into a reaction chamber onto a substrate; and supplying a reactive gas into the reaction chamber onto the substrate to form a crystalline film under a gas flow of the reactive gas.

Claims (55)

1 . A method for producing a crystalline film comprising:

gasifying a metal source to turn the metal source into a metal-containing raw-material gas;

supplying the metal-containing raw-material gas and an oxygen-containing raw-material gas into a reaction chamber onto a substrate; and

supplying a reactive gas into the reaction chamber onto the substrate to form a crystalline film under a gas flow of the reactive gas.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the reactive gas is an etching gas.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the reactive gas comprises at least one selected from among hydrogen halide and groups comprising halogen and hydrogen.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

The reactive gas comprises hydrogen halide.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the substrate comprises an uneven portion arranged on a surface of the substrate.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the uneven portion comprises at least one mask.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the uneven portion comprises two or more openings.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the substrate is a patterned sapphire substrate.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the substrate is heated at a temperature that is in a range of 400° C. to 700° C.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the metal source comprises gallium.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the gasifying the metal source is done by halogenating the metal source.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the oxygen-containing raw-material gas comprises at least one selected from among oxygen (O 2 ), water (H 2 O) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O).

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the substrate comprises a corundum structure.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the crystalline film has a corundum structure.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the substrate further comprises a buffer layer on at least a surface of the substrate.

16 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

forming a buffer layer on at least a surface of the substrate by use of a mist chemical vapor deposition method.

17 . A method for producing a crystalline film comprising:

forming an uneven portion on a surface of a substrate;

gasifying a metal source to turn the metal source into a metal-containing raw-material gas;

supplying the metal-containing raw-material gas and an oxygen-containing raw-material gas into a reaction chamber onto the uneven portion on the surface of the substrate; and

supplying a reactive gas into the reaction chamber onto the uneven portion on the surface of the substrate to form a crystalline film under a gas flow of the reactive gas.

18 . The method of claim 17 further comprising:

forming an uneven portion on a surface of a crystalline film that is a first crystalline film; and

gasifying a metal source to turn the metal source into a metal-containing raw-material gas;

supplying the metal-containing raw-material gas and an oxygen-containing raw-material gas into a reaction chamber onto the uneven portion on the surface of the substrate; and

supplying a reactive gas into the reaction chamber onto the uneven portion on the surface of the substrate to form a second crystalline film under a gas flow of the reactive gas.

19 . A method for producing a crystalline film comprising:

forming a buffer layer on at least a surface of the substrate by use of a mist chemical vapor deposition method;

forming an uneven portion on a surface of the buffer layer;

gasifying a metal source to turn the metal source into a metal-containing raw-material gas;

supplying the metal-containing raw-material gas and an oxygen-containing raw-material gas into a reaction chamber onto the uneven portion on the surface of the buffer layer of the substrate; and

supplying a reactive gas into the reaction chamber onto the uneven portion on the surface of the buffer layer of the substrate to form a crystalline film under a gas flow of the reactive gas.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

forming an uneven portion on a surface of a crystalline film that is a first crystalline film; and

gasifying a metal source to turn the metal source into a metal-containing raw-material gas;

supplying the metal-containing raw-material gas and an oxygen-containing raw-material gas into a reaction chamber onto the uneven portion on the surface of the substrate; and

supplying a reactive gas into the reaction chamber onto the uneven portion on the surface of the substrate to form a second crystalline film under a gas flow of the reactive gas.
