[Prior Art] The problem of light 敝action efficiency generated by a gallium nitride-based light-emitting diode is usually caused by dish cutting of a gallium nitride-based material for insect growth. The blue f stone substrate, the #晶袼 constant does not match the lattice constant of the nitrided martensite material, or the problem of the gallium nitride-based material in the growth mechanism of the substrate, resulting in a gallium nitride-based material. When the substrate sequentially grows into a cladding layer and an actuation layer (acdve "and hits"), crystal defects such as dislocation are accumulated in the active layer t, and the internal quantum is generated. The efficiency will be greatly reduced due to a large amount of differential discharge density, which in turn affects the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting diode. In order to overcome the above problems, the Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6_196757 proposes the use of crystal The lattice constant is between the substrate and the gallium nitride-based material = square; the substrate is first low-temperature epitaxially grown to form a buffer layer (), and then sequentially grows the coating layer and the active layer on the buffer layer. The crystal defects of the substrate itself are directly accumulated to be generated in the active layer, and the probability of defects due to the epitaxial growth mechanism itself is reduced, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting diode. However, this method can reduce the crystal defects of the substrate itself. The epitaxial process is directly accumulated in the active layer of the light-emitting diode and can be reduced by the instruction sheet of the patent application No. 095,124,658 (98-month revision). The probability of the defect growth mechanism itself is defective, but the effect It is still not obvious - the general defect density is still as high as 1011~1012 cm-2, and it can not effectively improve the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting body. See Figure 'US Patent US6051849, US6608327B1 for similarly selecting the lattice constant and substrate, nitrogen. The material matched by the gallium-based material is first low-temperature epitaxially grown on the substrate 11 to form a buffer layer 丨2, and then self-buffered layer 2 The epitaxial layer 13 is then grown from the surface of the first epitaxial layer 13 to the yttria layer 15 by yttrium oxide, and the yttria layer 15 is patterned to form a plurality of spaced apart pits 151, followed by a self-patterned yttrium oxide layer. The surface of the I5 begins to elongate (Epitaxial Lateral 〇vergr〇wth) to form a second epitaxial layer 14, and a similar step is repeated as needed: the cerium oxide layer is further grown on the surface of the first cat day layer 14, and After the yttrium oxide layer is patterned, the third epitaxial layer is formed by lateral epitaxy, and a plurality of epitaxial layers can be grown as needed; and the majority of the pits 151 formed on the yttrium oxide layer 15 reduce the area at which the epitaxial formation starts. a region, which reduces the probability of the lower epitaxial layer defect extending upward, thereby providing a substrate with a low surface defect density, and then a subsequent light-emitting diode such as a substrate, a dust, a 披μ aa growth cladding layer, an actuation layer, and the like Preparation, by directly reducing the surface defect density of the substrate itself, thereby reducing the probability of accumulation of defects from the substrate itself, which is generated in the actuating layer of the subsequently-prepared light-emitting diode, thereby improving the light-emitting diode Luminous efficiency. Although these methods can reduce the surface defect density of the final product by repeatedly increasing the number of epitaxial layers, the degree of reduction of the surface defect density decreases as the number of epitaxial layers increases, and finally decreases to a saturation value. At the same time, the drop in yield caused by the epitaxial process is also inconsistent with the replacement page of the specification of the patent application No. 095124658 (98 (four) month revision), so no one has attempted to stack more than two layers of Lei. The crystal layer 'produces a substrate for preparing a light-emitting diode. Therefore, how to provide a substrate having a very low surface defect density to prevent accumulation of defects from the substrate itself from being generated in the subsequent epitaxial growth of the light-emitting diode, thereby improving the internal quantum efficiency and improving the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting diode, It is still a major problem that the relevant industry needs to overcome. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for producing a microcrystalline substrate having a low surface defect density. In the present invention, a method for fabricating an epitaxial substrate having a low surface defect density is to first form a plurality of spaced apart pits on the surface of the substrate. Lateral serpentine is then formed on the surface of the substrate to form a first epitaxial layer that fills the plurality of cavities and encloses the plurality of dimples. And forming a barrier layer on the surface of the first insect layer to present a predetermined image to cover a predetermined area of the surface of the first epitaxial layer. After the extraction, the surface of the first crystal layer is not covered by the barrier layer, and the lateral epithelium is formed—the second epitaxial layer covering the resistive layer and having a surface defect density of less than 05 cm−, 2 The epitaxial substrate is obtained. The effect of the invention is that most of the cavities and convex islands formed by the substrate reduce the probability of the substrate defects accumulating upward, and the barrier layer blocks the substrate defects and then extend upwards to provide a microcrystalline substrate with extremely low surface defect density. . [Embodiment] In the detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned and other technical contents of the present invention, the features and functions, the following descriptions, and the description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it will be clear that the specification page of the patent application No. 095124658 is replaced. (Revised in October 1998). Before the present invention is described in detail, it is noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals. Referring to Figure 2, a preferred embodiment of a method of fabricating an epitaxial substrate having a low surface defect density is suitable for use in fabricating an epitaxial substrate 3 having a low surface defect density as shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 3, the epitaxial substrate 3 includes a substrate 31, a first epitaxial layer 32, a barrier layer 33, and a second epitaxial layer 34. The soil material 3 1疋 is generally used for the carboniferous fossil substrate of the worm crystal growth nitriding material or the gemstone substrate ((0001) surface), or the ruthenium substrate, having a base surface 3U, and a plurality of arrays are distributed on the base surface. a recess 312 of 311, each of the holes 312 has an aperture of m, a depth of 〇·5~2# melon, a spacing of 1 to 5 ym between each other, and the substrate 31 itself has a randomly distributed crystal defect 4(9) ' Poor row. The first epitaxial layer 32 is laterally epitaxially formed from the base surface 31, and has a bottom surface 321 , a top surface 322 opposite to the bottom surface 321 , and a plurality of recesses projecting downwardly from the bottom surface 321 . A bump in the si], the bump 323 and correspondingly enclosing the recess 312 and the recesses together define at least a closed aperture. . . . , since the edge-crystal layer 32 starts to grow laterally from the region where the cavity 3 12 is not formed on the base surface 3 of the substrate 31, the substrate μ base 1 corresponds to the s-shaped concave The crystal defects 4 分布 distributed by the holes 3 12 do not accumulate upwardly into the 々-the telecrystal layer 32; that is, the depressions 312 ′ formed by patterning the substrate 31 reduce the width The first suspension layer Μ is in the description of the replacement of the specification of the patent application No. 095124658 (modified in October 1998) during the crystal growth process corresponding to the continuation of the density of defects 400 from the base of the substrate; At the same time, due to the lateral smectic process, any bump is cut correspondingly to close a recess 312 and is closed with the recess; the closed hole defined by the same 312 can be completed in the subsequent preparation of the second pole, the light-emitting diode The light emitted by the body and traveling toward the substrate 31 is scattered in the holes 312, and simultaneously increases the amount of forward light emitted from the light-emitting diode, and reduces the amount of light that is directed toward the crystal grains. Moreover, because these closed holes are extremely small, they do not affect Thermal conditions of the light-emitting diode. The hybrid layer 33 is formed by using a material such as oxidized oxidized stone, nitrided cerium, titanium oxide, oxidized group or the like on the top of the first-crystal layer 32 from 322 to a thickness of ~〇.5心#, and is presented with The plurality of recesses 312 are correspondingly offset from each other, and the predetermined region covering the top surface of the first crystal layer 32 is selected in the present embodiment as a material selected from the group and corresponding to the majority of the array. The recess 312, which exhibits a majority of misalignment and exhibits an array of discs, is absent, and the resist layer 33 can block the corresponding distribution of crystal defects in the region where the base surface 311 of the substrate 31 is not formed with the recess 312. Extended accumulation. The second crystal layer 34 is laterally epitaxially formed from a region of the top surface 322 of the first crystal layer 32 that is not covered by the barrier layer 33, and has a thickness of about &amp; (7), and the barrier layer 33 is coated therein. Since the plurality of recesses 312 formed by the substrate 31 reduce the probability of the substrate 31 being defective and accumulating upward, and the barrier layer 33 resists the substrate 31 from forming a recess 312, the corresponding distribution of crystal defects is further upward. Extending so that the crystallization process of the second crystal layer 34 hardly corresponds to the accumulation of the crystal core 400 from the base surface 3 of the substrate 31, and therefore has a surface defect density extremely low (in this example, less than 9) 1323006 No. 095,124,658 Patent Application Serial No. (98-year revision of 1998) 105 cnT2) epitaxial surface 341. The crystal substrate 3 described above can be more clearly understood by the following description of the method for manufacturing a low-surface defect rear-surface substrate of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4', step 21 is first applied, and the lithography (four) technique is applied to match the reticle having a plurality of images corresponding to the image of the plurality of recesses 312. This sb is widely eclipsed to form the majority of the spaced holes 312. Referring to Fig. 2, step 22 is then performed to control the relevant process conditions, and the first epitaxial layer η is formed by lateral epitaxy from the substrate 3! &quot;Refer to Figure 2, Mesh 5, and then proceed to Step 2 3, applying the lithography technique to the brothers ^ worm layer 3 2 top ® 3 9 9 swim + 2 to form a masking barrier 33 丨 in this step
The first cover used in the implementation of step 21 is used, but the predetermined position is offset to form a corresponding concave portion, and the hole 312 is dislocated to form the resisting I 33 , thereby saving the mask design, The cost of production. In addition, other physical (four) overlay techniques (Therma Bu Sputter.., etc.) can also be used to form the resistive layer 33 in the form of an image, because of the technical types (4) that can be applied. It is not the focus of the creation of the present invention, and will not be described here. Referring to FIG. 2 'final implementation step 24, the second crystal layer 34 is formed by laterally crystallizing from the region where the top surface 322 of the first epitaxial layer 32 is not covered by the barrier layer 33, that is, the epitaxial substrate 3 is obtained. .曰曰... The method for producing a low-surface defect density wafer substrate of the present invention mainly reduces the substrate 3 by the majority of the recesses 312 formed on the substrate 31. 10 1323006 Patent No. 095124658 (October 1998 revision) The defect 400 generated in the recesses 312 extends upwardly to the probability of accumulating to the first epitaxial layer 32 during epitaxial growth of the first epitaxial layer 32, and at the same time blocks the substrate with the barrier layer 33. 31 corresponds to the lattice defect 400 distributed on the base surface 311 where the majority of the recesses 312 are not formed, and thus extends upward, so that the second laterally epitaxially formed second crystal layer 34 has a very low defect density crystal plane. 3 41 * Further, when the subsequent epitaxial deposition of the light-emitting diode is performed by the substrate 3, 5 crystal lattice defects from the stray crystal substrate 3 itself are accumulated to form crystal layers of the light-emitting diode grown in the epitaxial growth. (especially in the actuating layer), thereby improving the internal quantum efficiency of the produced light-emitting diode, and improving the luminous efficiency of the produced light-emitting diode; and, because the epitaxial substrate of the present invention is laterally oriented in the first epitaxial layer 32 When epitaxial formation The plurality of recesses 312 of the substrate 31 define a plurality of closed vias 500, and the closed vias 500 can scatter after the subsequent preparation of the light-emitting diodes, when the light-emitting diodes act to emit light toward the substrate 3.1. At the same time, the amount of forward light emitted by the light-emitting diode can be increased, and the loss of light reflected toward the bottom of the crystal grain by multiple reflections can be reduced. Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing an epitaxial substrate having a low surface defect density according to the present invention will be described by way of a specific example to more clearly explain the actual implementation of the present invention. [Specific Example] First, a sapphire substrate 31 is selected, and a cleaning process is performed by a standard cleaning process. After the surface, a nickel metal layer plate containing a plurality of perforations having a diameter of 3 μm and distributed in an array is used as a mask; and the sapphire substrate 31 covered by the mask is placed in a high-density inductive plasma-making machine. In the Inductively Coupled Plasma Etcher, the upper electrode power is 1600 Watt and the lower electrode bias is up to -11 丄: The replacement page of the patent application No. 95/4658 (amedited in January, 1998) 350/olt, and Control the pressure of the reaction chamber at 5, and inject chlorine gas with 18SCCm boron chloride (BC13) gas to obtain a sapphire etching rate of 3〇〇nm/rmn, so that the base surface of the sapphire substrate 31 is formed downward. The hole 312, after which the nickel metal layer is removed, completes the step of patterning the base surface 311 of the sapphire substrate 31. Thereafter, a first epitaxial layer 32 of a gallium nitride single crystal is deposited laterally on the base surface 31 of the sapphire substrate 31 by an organometallic vapor deposition technique (M〇c VD). Then, the ruthenium-assisted chemical vapor deposition technique is used to deposit 〇5μιη thick oxidized oxide on the top surface 322 of the first shovel layer 32, and the majority of the circular hole pattern is defined by the yellow lithography technique to complete the resistance. The ruthenium layer and the post-removal organic metal vapor deposition technique are used to form a second hindered layer from the region where the first epitaxial layer 32 is not covered by the resist layer 33. 34, the preparation of the insect crystal substrate 3 is completed. As is apparent from the above description, the method for producing a low-surface defect density mycelium substrate of the present invention can surely reduce the crystal defect of the substrate 31 by the base surface 3 of the patterned substrate 31 to extend upward to the first insect layer. The probability of 32, and at the same time, the probability that the barrier layer 33 blocks the other lattice defects of the 31 and then extends upward, so that the second crystal layer 34 of the final lateral crystallite has a low surface defect density (tetra) crystal plane 341, Further, when the subsequent crystal crystals are prepared by using the stray crystal substrate 3, the lattice defects from the crystal substrate 3 itself are accumulated to form crystal layers of the light-emitting diodes which are subsequently grown by the insect crystals (especially actuation). In the layer), thereby improving the internal quantum efficiency of the obtained light-emitting diode, and improving the luminous efficiency of the obtained light-emitting diode, the replacement page of the patent application No. 12 1323006 No. 095124658 (amended in October 1998) The object of the invention is indeed achieved. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are All should remain within the scope of the invention patent.
