no. 1 approach

[0023] figure 1 is a flowchart showing the steps in the method of manufacturing a nitride-based semiconductor light-emitting device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] In the first embodiment, first in step P1, the sapphire substrate (base substrate) is subjected to pretreatment with acid, although this pretreatment of the substrate may be omitted.

[0025] In step P2, as figure 2 As shown in the schematic cross-sectional view of , a multilayer semiconductor film including multilayer semiconductor layers 2-7 is formed on a sapphire substrate 1 using MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition) (light emitting device growth step). At this time, the sapphire substrate 1 is initially introduced into the reaction chamber of the MOCVD apparatus. The substrate 1 was heated to 1100° C. in a hydrogen atmosphere, and kept at the same temperature for several minutes to clean the substrate 1 .

[0026] Afterwards, the substrate temperature was lowe...

no. 2 approach

[0048] The steps in the manufacturing method according to the second embodiment of the present invention are also figure 1 is shown in the flowchart. The manufacturing method of the second embodiment is generally similar to that of the first embodiment except in the following respects.

[0049] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in that a photoluminescence measurement step P6 for pass / fail judgment of the active layer is additionally performed after the wafer bonding step P5. The purpose of this is to check whether no damage has been done to the active layer in the wafer bonding step P5. The method of pass / fail judgment is the same as that of the first embodiment. All products with internal quantum efficiencies above 50% were advanced to the next steps. In the second embodiment, the manufacturing time per chip is reduced by about 15% compared to the case where the pass / fail judgment step is not performed. In this way, productivity can be improved ...

no. 3 approach

[0052] The steps of the manufacturing method according to the third embodiment of the present invention are also figure 1 is shown in the flowchart. The manufacturing method of the third embodiment is generally similar to that of the first embodiment except for the following points.

[0053] The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in that a photoluminescence measurement step P8 for pass / fail judgment of the active layer is additionally performed after the substrate peeling step P7. The purpose of this is to check whether the active layer is not damaged in the substrate peeling step P7. The method of pass / fail judgment is the same as that of the first embodiment. All products judged to be of good quality with internal quantum efficiencies higher than 50% were advanced to the next step. In the third embodiment, the manufacturing time per chip is reduced by about 10% compared to the case where the pass / fail judgment step is not performed. Therefore, produc...

Abstract

A fabricating method of a semiconductor light-emitting device includes the step P1, P2 of forming a wafer including a multi-layered semiconductor film epitaxially grown on a base substrate and containing an active layer, the step P3, P6, P8 of performing pass / fail judgment of the active layer by photo-exciting the active layer in the wafer and by measuring emission intensity from the active layer at least at two temperature points, and the step P4, P5, P7, P9-P13 of forming a light-emitting device structure with the multi-layered semiconductor film containing the active layer judged to be of good quality in the pass / fail judgment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a semiconductor light-emitting device, in particular to a manufacturing method capable of effectively providing a semiconductor light-emitting device with performance higher than specified standards at low cost. Background technique [0002] In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 07-050331, a wafer includes a multilayer semiconductor film epitaxially grown on a substrate and containing an active layer (light emitting layer), and then light pulses are injected into the active layer from the wafer surface. The decay time of light emission from the active layer excited by the light pulse is measured to determine the lifetime of minority carriers that mainly affect luminous efficiency, thereby evaluating the luminous efficiency of a light emitting device formed from the wafer. [0003] For example, in the case of a light emitting device including a multilayer semiconductor film formed of a plurality of nitride-b...
