Problems solved by technology

Using ultraviolet lithography technology to prepare densely distributed microstructure arrays on ITO; limited by the diffraction limit, this method can only achieve micron-level surface microstructures; using electron beam lithography technology or laser holographic lithography technology, in Prepare regular nano-sized surface microstructures on ITO; this method is not suitable for mass production on the production line
Nanoimprint technology is a potential mass production technology, but it requires manufacturers to purchase additional expensive special equipment, and the preparation of imprinted mother boards is relatively expensive, and the research and development costs are high, so it is not yet mature.

Abstract

The invention discloses a rough GaN base LED chip of ITO and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps that the ITO is deposed on the surface of a GaN base LED epitaxial wafer to be used as a transparent conductive layer; a diluted hydrochloric acid solution is placed in to conduct wet etching without a mask; deionized water is used for cleaning, and then roasting is conducted; the surface of the LED epitaxial wafer is then coated with a layer of thickening agent; then a layer of positive or negative photoresist is coated, after roasting is conducted on a heat plate, a lithographic mask template with a micron scale structure is used for conducting common ultraviolet exposure, then the LED epitaxial wafer is roasted again on the heat plate; a substrate is put in developing liquid to develop; after the deionized water is used for cleaning, the substrate is put in an oven to be roasted; then the substrate is put in the diluted hydrochloric acid solution for conducting wet etching with the mask; high temperature annealing is conducted after the photoresist is removed. According to the rough GaN base LED chip of the ITO and the preparation method thereof, a nanoscale microstructure and a micron scale microstructure are simultaneously prepared on the ITO transparent conductive layer, so that higher optical output power is achieved. The rough GaN base LED chip of the ITO and the preparation method thereof are suitable for LED production line mass production, do not need to be additionally provided with extra equipment, and is low in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of GaN-based LED chips, in particular to a GaN-based LED chip with a roughened ITO surface and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] With the increasing application of GaN-based LEDs, how to use mature and low-cost technology on the production line to roughen the surface of ITO to improve the light extraction efficiency of the chip is an important research topic in the industry. Surface roughening, that is, the preparation of microstructures on the chip surface, can increase the randomness of the incident angle of light at the interface between semiconductor materials and packaging materials, reduce the probability of total reflection of light, and thus effectively improve light extraction efficiency. [0003] At present, there are mainly the following schemes for realizing the surface roughening of ITO. Using ultraviolet lithography technology to prepare densely distributed microstructure arrays on ITO...
