Problems solved by technology

However, the corrosion rate of this method is not easy to control, and it is prone to dirty corrosion, which will undoubtedly affect the final photoelectric performance of the device and reduce the product yield.
[0006] Chinese patent document CN105382676A discloses a gallium arsenide wafer polishing method, which needs to be realized by means of an oxidant, a reducing agent, and a high-cost mechanical polishing machine. In high-end materials or devices, it is not suitable for polishing red LED gallium arsenide substrates. This method not only increases the product cost, but also complicates the operation, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency.
[0007] Chinese patent document CN102618936A discloses a chemical etching method for a gallium arsenide substrate. The method describes that the gallium arsenide substrate is corroded with ammonia water, hydrogen peroxide, and water as corrosive liquids to obtain a roughened substrate surface and increase the photoelectricity. performance, this method is used to make the surface structure of the LED substrate, and the corrosion rate is fast, it is not easy to control, and because the ammonia water is volatile and irritating, it has a great impact on the environment, and it needs to be carried out in a closed ventilation device. , is not conducive to the operation

Abstract

The invention relates to a chemical polishing method for gallium arsenide substrate. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, cleaning a thinned gallium arsenide substrate and drying it with nitrogen; and then preparing a mixed aqueous solution of strong bases and hydrogen peroxide as polishing liquid; placing the gallium arsenide substrate to be polished in the polishing liquid; and based on the concentration of the strong bases and hydrogen peroxide in the polishing liquid and through the control of the polishing time, controlling the polishing thickness. The method of the invention can be operated simply and conveniently for safe performances. Without generating excitant smells, the method achieves a high polishing speed. All the method requires is to use strong bases, hydrogen peroxide and de-ionized water for the surface polishing of a thinned gallium arsenide substrate and the removal of gallium arsenide particles that are hard to wash away. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the influence on the following electrode evaporation effect and increase the combination performance of the interfaces, therefore, preventing a chip losing electrodes and raising the qualification rate of products.
