Problems solved by technology

[0003] In order to improve the luminous efficiency of light-emitting diodes, a method of making graphic substrates by wet etching sapphire substrates has been proposed. The manufacturing method is: SiO 2 Make a certain pattern, then use it as a mask, and then etch a certain microstructure on the sapphire substrate by wet etching to improve the luminous efficiency, but this method has many defects, the main defects are: 1 , It is impossible to produce a triangular pyramid-shaped microstructure, and the brightness improvement is limited; 2. Using SiO 2 When making a mask, the mask material will also be corroded during corrosion, which will increase the difficulty of pattern formation; 2. The corrosion time is too long, it takes 1-10 hours, and the production efficiency is low; 3. With the corrosion time Elongated, the corrosion solution is constantly changing, and the controllability becomes more difficult

Abstract

The invention relates to a light emitting diode chip structure, comprising a sapphire substrate layer; wherein, the sapphire substrate layer is provided with triangular pyramid microstructures arranged periodically. The invention also relates to a manufacturing method of the light emitting diode chip structure, including the following steps: 1) a graph is transferred onto the sapphire substrate by applying dry etching technology; 2) the graph on the sapphire substrate is formed in periodically arranged triangular pyramid by applying wet etching. The invention can greatly reduce boundary reflection and internal absorption as periodically arranged high quality triangular pyramid microstructures are formed on the sapphire substrate; and crystal defect of the sapphire is greatly reduced after wet etching, thus high crystal quality epitaxial layer can be grown on the surface and the quality and luminous efficiency of the light emitting diode are greatly improved.
