Description

纳米晶立方氮化硼薄膜的制备方法 Preparation method of nanocrystalline cubic boron nitride film

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及纳米晶立方氮化硼薄膜的制备方法。The invention relates to a preparation method of a nanocrystalline cubic boron nitride film.

背景技术Background technique

立方氮化硼薄膜的维氏硬度达到5000-6000kg/mm2,在自然界中硬度仅次于金刚石,因为立方氮化硼薄膜甚至在1100℃高温时都不和铁基合金以及空气中的氧气发生反应,可望成为加工钢铁制品的理想刀具材料(金刚石在温度达到700℃时,开始与铁和氧气发生化学反应,不适合加工钢铁材料)。另外,立方氮化硼薄膜在红外和可见区透明、禁带宽度为6.4eV、易于进行p-型和n-型掺杂、有很高的热导率。还可以在光学元件的保护膜、恶劣环境下超大功率机器的自动化控制、以及汽车和电脑等领域得到广泛的应用。The Vickers hardness of the cubic boron nitride film reaches 5000-6000kg/mm 2 , which is second only to diamond in nature, because the cubic boron nitride film does not react with iron-based alloys and oxygen in the air even at a high temperature of 1100°C It is expected to become an ideal tool material for processing steel products (diamond begins to chemically react with iron and oxygen when the temperature reaches 700 ° C, which is not suitable for processing steel materials). In addition, the cubic boron nitride film is transparent in the infrared and visible regions, has a band gap of 6.4eV, is easy to do p-type and n-type doping, and has high thermal conductivity. It can also be widely used in the protective film of optical components, the automatic control of ultra-high-power machines in harsh environments, as well as automobiles and computers.

目前文献报道的立方氮化硼薄膜的制备方法主要有以下三种:(1)等离子体化学气相生长法,(2)物理气相生长法,(3)氟辅助等离子体化学气相生长法。前两种方法的主要原理是:首先形成具有活性的氮源和硼源在衬底上反应,同时利用等离子体产生的离子轰击生长表面,当离子能量足够高时,就能生成含有立方氮化硼的薄膜。由于使用了较高能量的离子轰击,缺少对六方氮化硼的化学刻蚀,所制备的薄膜的立方相纯度较低,残留压应力高。第三种方法是在对生长表面一定能量离子轰击的同时用氟元素化学刻蚀六方相氮化硼,降低了继续生成立方氮化硼所需的轰击离子的能量。虽然第三种方法较好地提高了薄膜的立方相纯度,降低了薄膜的残留压应力,但是由于使用了氟元素,给环境带来了污染。The preparation methods of cubic boron nitride thin films reported in the literature mainly include the following three methods: (1) plasma chemical vapor growth method, (2) physical vapor phase growth method, and (3) fluorine-assisted plasma chemical vapor phase growth method. The main principle of the first two methods is: first form an active nitrogen source and boron source to react on the substrate, and at the same time use the ions generated by the plasma to bombard the growth surface. When the ion energy is high enough, it can generate cubic nitride Thin films of boron. Due to the use of higher energy ion bombardment and the lack of chemical etching of hexagonal boron nitride, the prepared films have low cubic phase purity and high residual compressive stress. The third method is to chemically etch hexagonal boron nitride with fluorine element while bombarding the growth surface with certain energy ions, which reduces the energy of bombarding ions required to continue to generate cubic boron nitride. Although the third method improves the cubic phase purity of the film and reduces the residual compressive stress of the film, it pollutes the environment due to the use of fluorine.

发明内容Contents of the invention

本发明的目的是提供一种对环境温和,低残留压应力、高立方相纯度的纳米晶立方氮化硼薄膜的制备方法。The purpose of the invention is to provide a method for preparing a nanocrystalline cubic boron nitride thin film which is mild to the environment, has low residual compressive stress and high cubic phase purity.

本发明所提供的纳米晶立方氮化硼薄膜制备方法是采用把离子轰击增强立方氮化硼成核生长和氯元素选择性刻蚀六方相氮化硼相结合的等离子体化学气相生长方法,具体步骤如下:The preparation method of the nanocrystalline cubic boron nitride film provided by the present invention is a plasma chemical vapor growth method combining ion bombardment enhanced nucleation and growth of cubic boron nitride and selective etching of hexagonal boron nitride by chlorine element, specifically Proceed as follows:

1)把衬底表面清洗干净后放入到等离子体化学气相生长装置的反应室,反应室的真空度至少抽到10-3Pa;1) After cleaning the surface of the substrate, put it into the reaction chamber of the plasma chemical vapor phase growth device, and the vacuum degree of the reaction chamber is pumped to at least 10 -3 Pa;

2)向反应室输入保护气体,加热衬底并控制其温度在300-1100℃范围内,调节反应室压强到0.1-10Pa,在反应室中产生等离子体;2) Input protective gas into the reaction chamber, heat the substrate and control its temperature within the range of 300-1100°C, adjust the pressure of the reaction chamber to 0.1-10Pa, and generate plasma in the reaction chamber;

3)控制衬底偏压在0--250V范围内,优选-5--100V,然后依次向反应室输入氮源,氯元素源和硼源,进行薄膜生长,控制氮源流量在0.2-10sccm,氯元素源流量在1-10sccm,硼源流量在0.2-12sccm。3) Control the substrate bias voltage in the range of 0--250V, preferably -5--100V, and then input nitrogen source, chlorine element source and boron source to the reaction chamber in sequence to grow the film, and control the nitrogen source flow rate at 0.2-10sccm , the source flow of chlorine element is 1-10sccm, and the flow rate of boron source is 0.2-12sccm.

本发明中,所说的保护气体可以是氢气和氦气、氖气、氩气以及氪气中的一种或几种;所说的氮源气体可以是氮气、氨气和BH3·NH3中的一种或几种;所说的氯元素源是能在等离子体中分解出氯原子的氯气、氯化氢和BCl3气体中的一种或几种;硼源可以是B2H6、BCl3和BH3·NH3中的一种或几种。In the present invention, the protective gas can be one or more of hydrogen, helium, neon, argon and krypton; the nitrogen source gas can be nitrogen, ammonia and BH 3 ·NH 3 One or more of them; said chlorine element source is one or more of chlorine gas, hydrogen chloride and BCl 3 gas that can decompose chlorine atoms in plasma; boron source can be B 2 H 6 , BCl 3 and one or more of BH 3 ·NH 3 .

上述所有气体的纯度均高于99.99%,当输入的气体为二种或二种以上时,则将反应气体在等离子体化学气相生长装置的混和室充分缓冲混和后再输入到反应室。The purity of all the above-mentioned gases is higher than 99.99%. When two or more gases are input, the reaction gases are fully buffered and mixed in the mixing chamber of the plasma chemical vapor growth device before being input into the reaction chamber.

本发明中,所说的衬底可以采用硅、碳化硅、玻璃或蓝宝石等。In the present invention, silicon, silicon carbide, glass or sapphire can be used as the substrate.

在系统中导入氯元素的理由:氯元素具有足够高的选择性优先刻蚀六方氮化硼的能力,可以在薄膜生长表面抑制六方氮化硼的形成,提高立方氮化硼薄膜的纯度,同时降低继续生长立方氮化硼所需要的轰击离子的能量,提高立方氮化硼薄膜的纯度,降低残留压应力。只要在等离子体中能分解出氯原子的气体都可以用来选择性刻蚀六方氮化硼。The reason for introducing chlorine into the system: chlorine has a high enough selectivity to preferentially etch hexagonal boron nitride, which can inhibit the formation of hexagonal boron nitride on the film growth surface and improve the purity of cubic boron nitride films. Reduce the energy of bombardment ions needed to continue growing cubic boron nitride, improve the purity of cubic boron nitride film, and reduce residual compressive stress. Any gas that can decompose chlorine atoms in the plasma can be used to selectively etch hexagonal boron nitride.

本发明的有益效果在于:The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

(1)工艺新颖,所需设备简单,原料易得,对环境温和。(1) The process is novel, the required equipment is simple, the raw materials are easily available, and the environment is mild.

(2)因为把离子轰击增强立方氮化硼成核生长和氯元素对六方相氮化硼的选择性化学刻蚀有机地结合在一起,立方氮化硼生长所需的轰击离子的能量得以降低,所制备的立方氮化硼薄膜的纯度高、残留压应力低,薄膜不剥落。(2) Because the ion bombardment enhances the nucleation and growth of cubic boron nitride and the selective chemical etching of hexagonal boron nitride by chlorine elements, the energy of bombarding ions required for the growth of cubic boron nitride can be reduced. , the prepared cubic boron nitride film has high purity, low residual compressive stress, and the film does not peel off.

(3)所制备的纳米晶立方氮化硼薄膜的晶粒尺度小于50纳米,是纳米结构薄膜,表面粗糙度低、硬度高,适用于制备加工铁基合金的刀具和磨具等,也可以用在光学元件的保护膜,高温电子器件等领域。(3) The grain size of the prepared nanocrystalline cubic boron nitride film is less than 50 nanometers. It is a nanostructured film with low surface roughness and high hardness.
