- the other LED elements there are an AlGaNlnP-based high luminance LED, a GaP-based high luminance LED, a GaAs-based high luminance LED, and the like.
- the LED means a light-emitting diode which emits light at the time when electricity is supplied thereto and which is used for large area illumination, and the like.
- the LD means a laser diode which emits laser light at the time when electricity is thereto and which is used as a light source for communication and an optical disk.
- the substrate means a substrate which is made by slicing an ingot of a single-crystal of sapphire, SiC, GaAS, GaP, GaAlAs, or the like, and which can be subjected to epitaxial growth.
- This substrate is, for example, a substrate for semiconductor elements and has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface.
- a compound semiconductor film is formed on the first surface.
- the second surface may have a surface roughness larger than the surface roughness of the first surface.
- the both surfaces of the substrate may be polished.
- the blast processing means processing in which a workpiece is processed in such a manner that a mixture of abrasive grains and compressed air is ejected as a solid-air two-phase flow by using a rectangular nozzle or a round nozzle, and that the grains of the solid-air two-phase flow are made to collide with the workpiece.

- Cutting means cutting the substrate into chips having a standard size by using a method using a laser, a blade, or a blast, or the like.
- Figure 1 shows a flow chart of a warp correction method using blast processing which is applied to a substrate at the time of manufacturing LED elements or LD elements.
- the processing method includes: a step (S10) of making a substrate; a step (SI 2) of performing a step of forming a compound semiconductor film on the substrate; a step (SI 4) of applying blast processing to the surface opposite to the mirror surface on which the compound semiconductor film is formed; and a step (SI 6) of forming LED electrodes or LD electrodes on the surface being opposite to the surface which the blast processing is applied, and then cutting the substrate into LED elements or LD elements.
- a step (S10) of making a substrate a step (SI 2) of performing a step of forming a compound semiconductor film on the substrate; a step (SI 4) of applying blast processing to the surface opposite to the mirror surface on which the compound semiconductor film is formed; and a step (SI 6) of forming LED electrodes or LD electrodes on the surface being opposite to the surface which the blast processing
- a substrate is made (S10).
- a substrate which is made of sapphire and which has a size of 4 inches and a thickness of 0.65 mm, is made.
- a film is formed on the substrate (S12).
- a GaN-based compound semiconductor film is formed.
- a blast processing step is performed (S14).
- the blast processing is performed, for example, under the following conditions (Table 1) in order to apply the blast processing to the entire surface of the substrate, the entire surface being opposite to the surface on which the GaN-based compound semiconductor film is formed.
- the conditions shown in Table 1 represent, as an example, a case where a rectangular nozzle having a nozzle size of 15 mm x 4.8 mm is used. However, a round nozzle having a nozzle diameter of q>8 mm, or the like, may also be used. Further, the conditions shown in Table 1 represent, as an example, a case where the blast processing is applied to the entire surface of a sapphire substrate by using a scan processing method. Thereby, stress is applied to the entire wafer, so that the warp of the wafer is corrected. Note that, when the uniformity of surface roughness of the surface subjected to the blast processing is not needed, the blast processing needs not necessarily be applied to the entire wafer surface. For example, stress may also be applied by performing the ejection at a fixed portion, such as the center portion of the sapphire substrate.
- a blasting machine for example, MICROBLASTER MB-1 (manufactured by Sintokogio, Ltd.) can be adopted.
- a suction type flat nozzle that is a rectangular nozzle can be adopted as the nozzle for the blast processing.
- the surface roughness (arithmetic average roughness Ra) of the surface subjected to the blast processing may be in a range of, for example, 0.01 to 5.0 um Ra, whereby, the warp can be corrected without significantly changing the surface roughness before and after the blast processing. Further, it may be more preferred that the surface roughness of the surface subjected to the blast processing is in a range of 0.5 to 5.0 ⁇ Ra. In order to obtain the surface roughness in the range of 0.5 to 5.0 um Ra, the blast processing may be performed, for example, under the blasting conditions shown in Table 2.
- the abrasive is the material included the abrasive micro grain sizes of JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) R6001.
- the blasting conditions shown in Table 2 are examples.
- the warp amount of the sapphire substrate is changed according to the size and thickness of the sapphire substrate and further according to the conditions under which the GaN-based compound semiconductor film is formed. For this reason, each of the blasting conditions may be arbitrarily changed according to the warp amount of the sapphire substrate to be corrected.
- abrasive for example, an example, in which alumina abrasive grains expressed by a chemical formula of A1 2 0 3 are used as the abrasive, is shown in Table 2.
- any material may be used as long as the material can give stress to the substrate.
- the hardness of the material may also be suitably selected as long as the material having the selected hardness can apply give to the substrate.
- the size of the abrasive preferably has an average particle diameter of 25 to 70 um.
- the surface of the substrate is roughened.
- the average particle diameter of the abrasive is less than 25 um, there is a possibility that, even when the ejection pressure is increased, since the collision energy of the grains applied to the substrate is insufficient, the warp of the substrate cannot be corrected to a desired curvature radius.
- the ejection speed is determined by the kind of abrasive, the ejection pressure, the ejection amount, and the like.
- the ejection pressure may be set in a range of 0.2 MPa to 0.4 MPa. In the case where the ejection pressure is more than 0.4 MPa, since the processing energy becomes excessive, breakage and cracks may occur in the substrate. In the case where the ejection pressure is less than 0.2 MPa, since stress applied to the substrate becomes small, the processing time required to correct the warp of the substrate may be increased. Further, the ejection amount may be set in a range of 100 g/min to 400 g/min.
- the coverage is an indicator similar to the density of material ejected to the substrate, and is influenced by the kind of abrasive, the ejection amount, the ejection time, the nozzle traverse speed, the nozzle feed pitch, the ejection angle, and the like.
- the abrasive may have an average particle diameter in a range of 25 um to 70 um.
- the ejection pressure may be set in a range of 0.2 MPa to 0.5 MPa, and more preferably set in a range of 0.2 MPa to 0.4 MPa.
- the ejection amount may be set in a range of 100 g/min to 400 g/min, and more preferably set in a range of 200 g/min to 400 g/min.
- the blast processing can be performed at a high speed of about 20 seconds for one scan by using the above-described blasting machine.
- both the sliced surfaces of the sapphire substrate may also be polished.
- the surface roughness of the polished surfaces is, for example, as follows (Table 3).
- the surface roughness in the table is as an example, and the surface roughness before the film formation can be changed according to the condition of the polishing step after the substrate is made by the slicing step, and according to the condition at the time when the GaN-based compound semiconductor film is formed.
- the front and back surfaces of the substrate may have a difference in the surface roughness after the substrate is formed by the slicing step and is polished by the polishing step. This is because a surface subjected to mirror polishing is necessary to form a uniform and thin film at the time of epitaxial growth.
- the back surface is subjected to a step referred to as BGP (Back Grinding Polish) to reduce the thickness of the substrate to about 0.1 mm, and hence the back surface of the substrate need not be polished to a mirror surface at the time of the polishing step after the substrate is made by the slicing step.
- BGP Back Grinding Polish
- a warp of the substrate can be corrected without giving damage to the mirror surface of the substrate which surface is subjected to epitaxial growth.
- a difference in the surface roughness between the surface and the back surface of the substrate is provided beforehand, an advantage is obtained that a warp of the substrate can be corrected without giving damage to the mirror surface of the substrate which surface is subjected to epitaxial growth.
- a surface roughness meter SURFCOM HOOD manufactured by Tokyo Seimitsu Co., Ltd.
- An example of a measurement range is shown in Figure 2.
- FIG 3 is a schematic view showing an evaluation method.
- the warp amount Ah is a difference between a maximum height and a minimum height on the surface of the sapphire substrate.
- the warp amount Ah is represented by a plus value when the surface is convex, while the warp amount Ah is represented by a minus value when the surface is concave.
- the curvature radius R can be converted from the warp amount Ah.
- the relationship between the curvature radius R and the warp amount Ah is shown in Figure 3. Note that the apparatus and method for measuring the surface roughness is not limited to those described above.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a trajectory of relative movement between the blast nozzle and the substrate at the time of the blast processing according to the present invention.
- a method may also be adopted in which the side of the suction jig for fixing the sapphire substrate is scanned, and in which the nozzle is fixed.
- the blast processing may also be performed by performing the scanning operation in such a manner that the nozzle is moved along one axis while the suction jig is moved in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the nozzle.
- any scanning means can be used only as long as the scan processing is applied to the sapphire wafer by moving the wafer and the nozzle relative to each other.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing a principle for correcting distortion of a wafer by the blast processing according to the embodiment. Note that, in the following, a case where the blast processing is applied after the formation of a GaN-based compound semiconductor film is described.
- an abrasive F is ejected from a nozzle N to a sapphire wafer W which is warped due to the formation of a film of GaN-based compound semiconductor G
- the warp of the sapphire wafer W warped due to the formation of the film of GaN-based compound semiconductor G is corrected in the state where the GaN-based compound semiconductor Gf is held on the sapphire wafer Wf.
- Table 4 shows an example of measurement results when the abrasive, the ejection amount, the ejection pressure, and the warp amount after EPI step are changed.
- Substrate 1 WA#600 200 0.3 83 32 36.8
- alumina abrasive grains (White Alundum)
- WA#240 to WA #600 manufactured by Sintokogio, Ltd.
- alumina abrasive grains having an average particle diameter of 25 um to 70 ⁇ were used.
- the abrasive is the material included the abrasive micro grain sizes of JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) R6001.
- an ejection pressure of 0.3 MPa to 0.5 MPa was used.
- the warp amount in an area of 97 mm x 97 mm of a 4-inch ( ⁇ mm) substrate (wafer) W after the EPI step was varied in a range of 83 um to 210 um. However, after the blast processing, the warp amount was corrected to 40 um or less (35 um to 20 um). Note that the curvature radius converted from the warp amount was 30 m or more. Further, in the case where the inch size of the wafer is increased in future, the warp amount of a wafer as a whole may become 40 um or more.
- the warp amount is acceptable as long as, when the warp amount is converted to a warp amount of the 4-inch ( ⁇ mm) wafer, the converted warp amount is 40 um or less. In this range of the warp amount, there is an advantage that, in the subsequent process, the yield in laser processing for cutting the substrate into chips is improved.
- the processing is shifted to the electrode forming step (SI 6).
- the electrode forming step a transparent electrode, a pad electrode, a protective film, and the like, are formed on the compound semiconductor film formed on the wafer.
- the processing is shifted to the element cutting step (SI 8).
- the element cutting step the substrate is cut into chips having a standard size.
- the warp caused at the time of the formation of the GaN-based compound semiconductor film can be corrected by performing the blast processing after the formation of the GaN-based compound semiconductor film.
- the embodiment described above shows an example of the processing method according to the present invention.
- the processing method according to the present invention is not limited to the processing method according to the above-described embodiment.
- the blast processing is performed before the formation of the compound semiconductor film, it is also possible to correct a warp caused at the time of the formation of the GaN-based compound semiconductor film.
- the flow chart of this example is shown in Figure 6.
- the flow chart shown in Figure 6 is substantially the same as the flow chart shown in Figure 1, and the processing of each of S20, S26 and S28 corresponds to the processing of each of S10, S16 and SI 8. That is, in Figure 6, the film forming step (S24) is performed after the blast processing step (S22).
- the blast processing is performed before the formation of the GaN-based compound semiconductor film
- the phenomenon, in which the mirror surface side of the substrate is warped into a convex shape at the time of the formation of the GaN-based compound semiconductor film can be offset by forming beforehand the mirror surface side of the substrate in a concave shape.
- film formation variation may occur depending on the way of heating by a heat source at the time of the formation of the GaN-based compound semiconductor film. Therefore, it is preferred that the blast processing is performed after the formation of the
- GaN-based compound semiconductor film GaN-based compound semiconductor film.
- the manufacturing process in which LED elements or LD elements are manufactured, is designed such that the blast processing is performed before or after the GaN-based compound semiconductor film is formed on the substrate.
- the curvature radius of a warp of the substrate caused at the time of the formation of the GaN-based compound semiconductor film can be increased to 30 m or more.
- FIG. 7 shows an example of the processing method in which the washing step is added.
- the flow chart shown in Figure 7 is substantially the same as the flow chart shown in Figure 1, and the processing of S30 corresponds to the processing of S10 in Figure 1. Further, the processing of S36 to S40 corresponds to the processing of S12 to S16 in Figure 1, and the processing of S46 corresponds to the processing of S 18 in Figure 1. That is, the polishing process (S32 and S42) and the washing process (S34 and S44) are included in Figure 7.
- the blast processing is performed while the surface roughness is measured, and that the measured result is fed back to the blast processing.
- the measurement of the surface roughness need not be necessarily performed for all the substrates. When the processing conditions are determined, the measurement of the surface roughness is unnecessary in the ordinary step.
- a warp of a substrate can be corrected at the time of manufacturing LED elements and LD elements, whereby in the subsequent process for cutting the substrate into respective elements by using a laser, it is possible to eliminate cutting failure due to focusing failure that is caused when the substrate is warped.
- the blast processing is applied, by changing the blast processing conditions, to the surface opposite to the surface on which a GaN-based compound semiconductor film is formed.
- the blasted surface of the substrate can be processed to have any surface roughness.
- the light diffusion property can be improved in correspondence with the wavelength of light emitted from the LED or the LD.
