Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, it is currently difficult to find heat sink materials with high thermal conductivity that match the thermal expansion coefficient of GaN
Even if the above two methods are used, since the etching depth of the GaN epitaxial material is usually very shallow (about 500nm), an...

Abstract

Zone of luminosity in tube core is divided into more than two zones in smaller size through etching deep trough in order to raise luminous efficiency, thermal stability and service life of device. Or, using reverse welding technique welds tube core onto heat sink material with higher thermal conductivity and using laser lift-off technology peels off substrate material. Thermal strain between epitaxial layer and substrate material or between epitaxial layer and heat sink material caused by unmatched coefficients of thermal expansion is controlled in very low level in the invention. The invention raises luminous efficiency, thermal stability and service life of device, and does not generate unfavorable influence on characteristic of GaN substrate material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing gallium nitride-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) under large injection currents. Luminous efficiency and reliability. The invention belongs to the technical field of manufacturing gallium nitride-based light-emitting diodes. Background technique [0002] Light-emitting devices based on wide-bandgap semiconductor materials have always been the focus of research and development in the field of semiconductor optoelectronics. In particular, semiconductor lighting sources represented by high-power blue LEDs based on III-V nitride materials have the advantages of environmental protection, energy saving, good weather resistance, and long life. Lighting source. But as far as the current situation is concerned, there are still many problems in technology and price when high-power LEDs widely replace traditional lighting in the civilian lighting market. Among these problems, the most important ones are the...
