Abstract

The invention provides a graphical sapphire substrate preparation method. The method comprises the following steps: step A, carrying out magnetron sputtering on one side of a sapphire substrate so as to form a metal aluminium coating; step B, coating a photoresist film on the metal aluminium coating and drying; step C, completing laser interference exposing and developing so as to obtain a photoresist graph; step D, utilizing a graphical photoresist on the metal aluminium coating as a mask, adopting reactive ions to etch the metal aluminium coating and remove the photoresist, and obtaining the graphical metal aluminium coating of a metal aluminium coating boss on the sapphire substrate; step E, carrying out low-temperature heat treatment so as to sufficiently oxidize the graphical metal aluminium coating to form a graphical polycrystal Al2O3 film; and step F, carrying high-temperature heat treatment on the obtained graphical polycrystal Al2O3 film, and completely converting the graphical polycrystal Al2O3 film into a graphical single-crystal Al2O3 film so as to obtain the graphical sapphire substrate. The graphical sapphire substrate preparation method is simple and practical in technology, low in cost and large in area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a patterned sapphire substrate, in particular to a method for preparing a low-cost, large-area patterned sapphire substrate for nitride extension growth. 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...
