Abstract

The invention provides an LED (Light Emitting Diode) chip provided with a stepped current blocking structure and a fabricating method thereof. The fabricating method comprises the steps of: providing at least one LED epitaxial wafer comprising a substrate and a light emitting epitaxial structure on the LED epitaxial wafer; fabricating the stepped current blocking structure on the surface of the LED epitaxial wafer vertical to a region of a first electrode correspondingly prefabricated; and fabricating transparent conductive layers on the surfaces of the LED epitaxial wafer and the stepped current blocking structure, and then fabricating a first electrode, a second electrode and a protective layer correspondingly. According to the LED chip provided with a stepped current blocking structure and the fabricating method of the LED chip provided with the stepped current blocking structure provided by the invention, the gradient at the edge of the stepped current blocking structure is slowed so that the contact area of the transparent conductive layer and the stepped current blocking structure is increased, the situation that the transparent conductive layer (ITO) on the side wall (at the step) at the edge of the current blocking structure becomes thinner and even breaks can be avoided, the step covering capacity of the transparent conductive layer is improved, the current spreading capacity of the transparent conductive layer is further improved, the electro-optical conversion efficiency of the LED chip is increased, and the brightness of the LED chip is enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an LED chip and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to an LED chip with a stepped current blocking structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] LED (Light Emitting Diode) chip, also known as LED light-emitting chip, is the core component of LED lights and a solid-state semiconductor device that can directly convert electrical energy into light energy. The LED chip is mainly composed of two parts, one is a P-type semiconductor, and holes are the majority carriers, and the other is an N-type semiconductor, and electrons are the majority carriers. When the two semiconductors are connected, a P-N junction is formed. When the current acts on the chip through the wire, the electrons will be pushed to the P region, and in the P-N junction region (such as the quantum well region), the electrons will recombine with the holes, and then energy will be emitted in the form of photons. This is the LED...
