Problems solved by technology

However, dry etching is easy to cause certain pollution and damage to the surface of the sapphire substrate, especially the edge of the mesa, which is not conducive to the further improvement of the crystal quality of the epitaxial layer

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method for graphical sapphire substrate for epitaxial growth of nitride, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, magnetron sputtering a layer of aluminous film on the sapphire substrate; next, coating two layers of photoresist films and the lower layer of photoresist film has better photosensitivity; next, exposing and developing the substrate to form a photoresist film graph; then carrying out magnetron sputtering to a second layer of aluminous film, and dipping the aluminous film in solvent to remove the outer layer aluminous film; finally processing the substrate at lower temperature and then high temperature to form the graphical sapphire substrate with single crystal alumina film. The preparation method is simple and easy to implement, which overcomes the problems that the dry etching method will pollute and damage substrate as well as overcomes the problems that the wet etching method will cause graphic distortion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation process of an epitaxial wafer, in particular to a preparation method of a patterned sapphire substrate used for epitaxial growth at nitride. Background technique [0002] In recent years, high-brightness and high-power nitride light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have attracted much attention, and they are widely used in traffic lights, LCD backlights, solid-state lighting, and full-color display screens. These commercial products require LEDs to have excellent performance in terms of luminance and luminous efficiency. Sapphire has the advantages of stable chemical and physical properties, good light transmission, and reasonable cost, so it is widely used in nitride epitaxial substrates. However, due to the huge difference in lattice constant mismatch and thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between the nitride epitaxial film and the sapphire substrate at the bottom, the use of hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE), metal...
