[0075] like Figure 1 As shown in the top view of FIG. 1 , the light emitting element 1 may have a rectangular or square shape, and may be Figure 4-5 As shown in the side view of FIG. 1 , the substrate 10 of the light emitting element 1 includes a plurality of side walls 10s located around the light emitting element 1 to form a rectangular or square shape. From the top view, the size of the light emitting element 1 can be, for example, a rectangular shape of 300 μm×1000 μm or a square shape of 700 μm×700 μm, but is not particularly limited thereto.

[0076] The substrate 10 may be a growth substrate, including a gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafer for epitaxially growing aluminum gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP), or a sapphire (Al2O3) wafer for growing indium gallium nitride (InGaN). 2 O 3 ) wafer, gallium nitride (GaN) wafer or silicon carbide (SiC) wafer.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, a light-emitting stack 11 having photoelectric properties is formed on a substrate 10 by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), hydride vapor phase deposition (HVPE), physical vapor deposition (PVD) or ion plating, wherein the physical vapor deposition method includes sputtering or evaporation.

[0078] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the light emitting stack 11 includes a first semiconductor layer 111, a second semiconductor layer 112, and an active layer 113 located between the first semiconductor layer 111 and the second semiconductor layer 112. The wavelength of the light emitted by the light emitting element 1 can be adjusted by changing the physical and chemical composition of one or more layers in the light emitting stack 11. The material of the light emitting stack 11 includes III-V semiconductor materials, such as Al x In y Ga (1-x-y) N or Al x In y Ga (1-x-y) P, where 0≤x, y≤1; (x+y)≤1. When the material of the light-emitting stack 11 is an AlInGaP series material, it can emit red light with a wavelength between 610nm and 650nm. When the material of the light-emitting stack 11 is an AlInGaP series material or an InGaN series material, it can emit green light with a wavelength between 500nm and 570nm. When the material of the light-emitting stack 11 is an InGaN series material, it can emit blue light with a wavelength between 400nm and 490nm. When the material of the light-emitting stack 11 is an AlGaN series material or an AlInGaN series material, it can emit ultraviolet light with a wavelength between 400nm and 250nm.

[0079] The first semiconductor layer 111 and the second semiconductor layer 112 may be cladding layers, and the two have different conductivity types, electrical properties, polarities, or provide electrons or holes according to doped elements. For example, the first semiconductor layer 111 is an n-type electrical semiconductor, and the second semiconductor layer 112 is a p-type electrical semiconductor. The active layer 113 is formed between the first semiconductor layer 111 and the second semiconductor layer 112. Electrons and holes recombine in the active layer 113 under a current drive, converting electrical energy into light energy to emit a light. The active layer 113 may be a single heterostructure (SH), a double heterostructure (DH), a double-side double heterostructure (DDH), or a multi-quantum well (MQW). The material of the active layer 113 may be a neutral, p-type, or n-type electrical semiconductor. The first semiconductor layer 111 , the second semiconductor layer 112 , or the active layer 113 may be a single layer or a structure including a plurality of sub-layers.

[0080] The light-emitting stack 11 includes an upper surface and a lower surface, and the active layer 113 includes a first upper surface and a second lower surface, wherein a first distance is included between the upper surface of the light-emitting stack 11 and the first upper surface of the active layer 113, and a second distance is included between the lower surface of the light-emitting stack 11 and the second lower surface of the active layer 113, and the second distance is greater than the first distance.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting stack 11 may further include a buffer layer (not shown) located between the first semiconductor layer 111 and the substrate 10, for releasing the stress generated by the material lattice mismatch between the substrate 10 and the light-emitting stack 11, so as to reduce dislocation and lattice defects, thereby improving the epitaxial quality. The buffer layer may be a single layer or a structure including multiple sublayers. In one embodiment, PVD aluminum nitride (AlN) may be selected as a buffer layer, formed between the light-emitting stack 11 and the substrate 10, to improve the epitaxial quality of the light-emitting stack 11. In one embodiment, the target material for forming PVD aluminum nitride (AlN) is composed of aluminum nitride. In another embodiment, a target material composed of aluminum is used to reactively form aluminum nitride with an aluminum target material in a nitrogen source environment.

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown in the top view of FIG. 1 , the light emitting element 1 includes a semiconductor structure 12 located at a periphery of the light emitting element 1 to surround a plurality of outer sidewalls S1 of the light emitting stack 11. Figure 4-5 As shown in the cross-sectional view, the semiconductor structure 12 is located on the substrate 10, and the semiconductor structure 12 is isolated from the light-emitting stack 11 by the first groove 110. The first groove 110 includes a minimum width D between 1 μm and 30 μm, preferably between 2 μm and 14 μm, and more preferably between 5 μm and 10 μm. The first groove 110 is formed by removing part of the second semiconductor layer 112 and the active layer 113, and the first groove 110 exposes a part of the surface 111t of the first semiconductor layer 111. The top view shape of the first groove 110 includes a rectangular ring, a polygonal ring, a circular ring, an elliptical ring or an irregular ring, wherein the corners of the rectangle or polygon can be rounded.

[0083] In one embodiment of the invention, the semiconductor structure 12 comprises the same structure as the light emitting stack 11. For example, the semiconductor structure 12 comprises a first semiconductor layer 111, a second semiconductor layer 112 and an active layer 113. The upper surface 12t of the semiconductor structure 12 comprises a surface of the second semiconductor layer 112.

[0084] The light-emitting element 1 includes one or more grooves 120 surrounded by the second semiconductor layer 112 and / or the active layer 113. The one or more grooves 120 are formed by removing part of the second semiconductor layer 112 and the active layer 113 to expose the surface 111t of the first semiconductor layer 111. The one or more grooves 120 are located in the light-emitting stack 11, and each is surrounded by the second semiconductor layer 112 and the active layer 113. The top-view shapes of the one or more grooves 120 include a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a polygon, or any shape. The multiple grooves 120 may include the same or different top-view shapes. The multiple grooves 120 may be arranged in multiple rows, and the grooves 120 on any two adjacent rows or each two adjacent rows may be aligned with each other or staggered. The number of the multiple grooves 120 is not particularly limited. For example Figure 1 As shown in the top view of FIG. 1 , the plurality of grooves 120 may be arranged in a fixed pattern at fixed intervals so that the current may be evenly dispersed in the horizontal direction.

[0085] The light emitting stack 11 includes a plurality of outer side walls S1 and a plurality of inner side walls S2, wherein the outer side walls S1 and the inner side walls S2 respectively include a side wall of the first semiconductor layer 111, the second semiconductor layer 112 and the active layer 113. One end of the outer side wall S1 is connected to a surface 112t of the second semiconductor layer 12, and the other end of the outer side wall S1 is connected to a surface 111t of the first semiconductor layer 111. One end of the inner side wall S2 is connected to the surface 112t of the second semiconductor layer 112, and the other end of the inner side wall S2 is connected to the surface 111t of the first semiconductor layer 11. The plurality of inner side walls S2 form a periphery of the groove 120. The plurality of outer side walls S1 form a periphery of the light emitting stack 11. As shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there is a first angle between the outer sidewall S1 and the surface 111t of the first semiconductor layer 111, and there is a second angle between the inner sidewall S2 and the surface 111t of the first semiconductor layer 111, wherein the angle difference between the first angle and the second angle is less than 20 degrees, preferably less than 14 degrees, and more preferably less than 10 degrees. In one embodiment, the first angle includes an obtuse angle, an acute angle, or a right angle, and the second angle includes an obtuse angle, an acute angle, or a right angle.

[0086] The light emitting element 1 includes one or more current blocking layers 14 located on the second semiconductor layer 112. The current blocking layer 14 is formed of a non-conductive material, including aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), Silicon Nitride (SiN x ), silicon oxide (SiO x ), titanium oxide (TiO x ), or magnesium fluoride (MgF xThe current blocking layer 14 may include a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) in which insulating materials with different refractive indices are stacked one on top of the other. The current blocking layer 14 has a light transmittance of more than 80% or a light reflectivity of more than 80% for the light emitted by the active layer 113. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the current blocking layer 14 has an inclined side surface to reduce the risk of peeling off from the second semiconductor layer 112 and increase the coverage of subsequent stacking layers.

[0087] The light emitting element 1 includes a transparent conductive layer 16 located on the second semiconductor layer 112 and the current blocking layer 14, and the transparent conductive layer 16 covers a side wall of the current blocking layer 14. The surface profile of the transparent conductive layer 16 covering the current blocking layer 14 corresponds to the profile of the current blocking layer 14. The transparent conductive layer 16 has a stepped profile from a cross-sectional view, rather than a flat profile. The material of the transparent conductive layer 16 includes a material that is transparent to the light emitted by the active layer 113, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO). Since the transparent conductive layer 16 is formed on substantially the entire surface of the second semiconductor layer 112 and forms a low resistance contact, such as an ohmic contact, with the second semiconductor layer 112, the current can be uniformly diffused through the second semiconductor layer 112 through the transparent conductive layer 16. In one embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 16 includes an outermost side, which is separated from the outer side wall S1 or the inner side wall S2 of the light emitting stack 11 by a distance less than 20 μm, preferably less than 10 μm, and more preferably less than 5 μm.

[0088] The thickness of the transparent conductive layer 16 may be in the range of 0.1 nm to 100 nm. If the thickness of the transparent conductive layer 16 is less than 0.1 nm, it is too thin to effectively form an ohmic contact with the second semiconductor layer 112. Moreover, if the thickness of the transparent conductive layer 16 is greater than 100 nm, it is too thick to partially absorb the light emitted by the active layer 113, thereby causing the problem of reduced brightness of the light emitting element 1.

[0089] The light emitting element 1 includes one or more first contact electrodes 18 located on the first semiconductor layer 111 to be electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer 111, and one or more second contact electrodes 19 located on the second semiconductor layer 112 to be electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer 112. Figure 1 As shown, from a top view of the light-emitting element 1, the first contact electrode 18 includes a first contact electrode pad 18a and / or a first contact electrode extension 18b. In this embodiment, the top view shape of the first contact electrode pad 18a includes a circle or an ellipse, and the top view shape of the first contact electrode extension 18b includes a strip, a rectangle or a polygon. The first contact electrode pad 18a and the first contact electrode extension 18b include the same stacked structure and thickness.

[0090] like Figure 1 As shown, from a top view of the light-emitting element 1, the second contact electrode 19 includes a second contact electrode pad 19a and / or a second contact electrode extension 19b. In this embodiment, the top view shape of the second contact electrode pad 19a includes a circle or an ellipse, and the top view shape of the second contact electrode extension 19b includes a strip, a rectangle or a polygon. The second contact electrode pad 19a and the second contact electrode extension 19b include the same stacked structure and thickness.

[0091] like Figure 1 As shown, from a top view of the self-luminous element 1, one or more first contact electrodes 18 are respectively located in one or more grooves 120 and contact the first semiconductor layer 111. The multiple first contact electrodes 18 are separated from each other, and the first contact electrodes 18 and the grooves 120 have the same shape. In order to allow the current to diffuse evenly through the second semiconductor layer 112, the position of the second contact electrode 19 overlaps the position of the current blocking layer 14. In one embodiment of the invention, the second contact electrode 19 is located above the current blocking layer 14 and the transparent conductive layer 16, and contacts the transparent conductive layer 16. In one embodiment of the invention, the transparent conductive layer 16 has an opening (not shown) corresponding to the second contact electrode pad 19a, and the second contact electrode pad 19a contacts the current blocking layer 14 and the second semiconductor layer 112 through the opening. In one embodiment of the invention, the second contact electrode 19 has a similar shape to the current blocking layer 14; in another embodiment of the invention, the second contact electrode 19 has a dissimilar shape to the current blocking layer 14. In one embodiment of the invention, as Figure 1As shown, from a top view of the self-luminous element 1, the current blocking layer 14 includes an area larger than an area of ​​the second contact electrode 19. In another embodiment, the second contact electrode pad 19a and the corresponding current blocking layer 14 thereunder have dissimilar shapes, for example, the second contact electrode pad 19a is circular, and the current blocking layer 14 thereunder is rectangular. In another embodiment, the second contact electrode pad 19a and the corresponding current blocking layer 14 thereunder have similar shapes, for example, the second contact electrode pad 19a and the current blocking layer 14 thereunder are circular, but the center of the second contact electrode pad 19a and the center of the current blocking layer 14 thereunder do not overlap. Alternatively, the second contact electrode pad 19a is circular, and the current blocking layer 14 thereunder is rectangular, and the distances around the second contact electrode pad 19a and the current blocking layer 14 thereunder are non-equidistant. In another embodiment, the current blocking layer 14 located below the second contact electrode pad 19a includes a plurality of current blocking regions separated from each other, and the transparent conductive layer 16 has an opening below the second contact electrode pad 19a, so that a portion of the second contact electrode pad 19a directly contacts the second semiconductor layer 112 through the opening and the gap between the current blocking regions separated from each other; of course, in one embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 16 may not have an opening below the second contact electrode pad 19a, and the second contact electrode pad 19a directly contacts the transparent conductive layer 16.

[0092] In another embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 As shown, the light emitting element 1 includes one or more first current blocking layers 13 located between the first semiconductor layer 111 and the first contact electrode 18. The multiple first current blocking layers 13 are separated from each other by a distance, wherein the distance can be a fixed value. The distance between two adjacent multiple first current blocking layers 13 closer to the first contact electrode pad 18a is longer or shorter than the distance between two adjacent multiple first current blocking layers 13 farther from the first contact electrode pad 18a. The number of the multiple first current blocking layers 13 can increase as the length of the first contact electrode 18 increases. When the first current blocking layer 13 is formed of a non-conductive material, including aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), Silicon Nitride (SiN x ), silicon oxide (SiO x ), titanium oxide (TiO x ), or magnesium fluoride (MgF x). The first current blocking layer 13 may include a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), in which the distributed Bragg reflector has insulating materials with different refractive indices stacked on each other. The first current blocking layer 13 has a transmittance of more than 80% or a light reflectivity of more than 80% for the light emitted by the active layer 113. The first current blocking layer 13 has an inclined side surface to reduce the risk of peeling from the first semiconductor layer 111 and increase the coverage of subsequent stacking. In one embodiment of the invention, the width of multiple first current blocking layers 13 is greater than the width of the first contact electrode 18. In one embodiment of the invention, the area of ​​the first current blocking layer 13 located below the first contact electrode pad 18a is greater than or less than the area of ​​the first contact electrode pad 18a. In one embodiment of the invention, there is no first current blocking layer 13 between the first contact electrode 18 and the first semiconductor layer 111. In one embodiment of the invention, a transparent conductive layer (not shown) may be included between the first contact electrode 18 and the first semiconductor layer 111 or the first current blocking layer 13.

[0093] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the transparent conductive layer 16 includes a portion located between the current blocking layer 14 and the second contact electrode 19, and another portion directly contacts the second semiconductor layer 12. When current passes through the second contact electrode 19, because the current blocking layer 14 is located below the second contact electrode 19, the current cannot pass through the current blocking layer 14 and is directly conducted downward from the second contact electrode to the second semiconductor layer 12. Therefore, the current is forced to flow to the transparent conductive layer 16, and then diffuses in the horizontal direction through the transparent conductive layer 16, and conducts the current to the second semiconductor layer 112.

[0094] The first contact electrode 18 and the second contact electrode 19 each have an inclined side surface to reduce the risk of peeling from the transparent conductive layer 16 or the first semiconductor layer 111 and increase the coverage of subsequent stacking. In one embodiment, the inclined side surface of the first contact electrode 18 has an inner angle between 30 degrees and 75 degrees with the surface of the first semiconductor layer 111. The inclined side surface of the second contact electrode 19 has an inner angle between 30 degrees and 75 degrees with the surface of the transparent conductive layer 16.

For example, the first thickness T1 is greater than 2 μm, preferably greater than 3 μm, and more preferably greater than 4 μm, and the second thickness T2 is less than 2 μm.

[0105] like Figure 1 The top view of Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the cross-sectional view, because there is a stacked structure below the Bragg reflector (DBR) 20, for example, the light-emitting stack 11, the current blocking layer 14, the transparent conductive layer 16, the first contact electrode 18 or the second contact electrode 19 and other structures, when the light-emitting element 1 undergoes the cutting and splitting manufacturing process, the Bragg reflector (DBR) 20 is prone to form a fracture surface S around the light-emitting element 1 due to these structures with height differences. When the fracture surface S extends to the light-emitting stack 11 and exposes the light-emitting stack 11, the Bragg reflector (DBR) 20 loses the effect of protecting the light-emitting element 1, and water vapor easily enters the interior of the light-emitting stack 11 through the fracture surface S.

Specifically, the upper surface of the first electrode pad 21 or the second electrode pad 22 has a surface profile corresponding to the surface profiles of the upper surfaces of the first contact electrode 18 and the upper surfaces of the second contact electrode 19. In other words, the first electrode pad 21 or the second electrode pad 22 is disposed on the first contact electrode 18 and the second contact electrode 19, wherein the first contact electrode 18 and the second contact electrode 19 have a non-planar surface profile and thus have a strip-shaped, circular or stepped surface.

[0113] The first electrode pad 21 or the second electrode pad 22 includes an inclined side surface, so the side-view cross-sectional area of ​​the first electrode pad 21 or the second electrode pad 22 can change along the thickness direction. For example, the side-view cross-sectional area of ​​the first electrode pad 21 or the second electrode pad 22 can gradually decrease as it moves away from the upper surface of the light-emitting stack 11.

[0114] There is a gap between the first electrode pad 21 and the second electrode pad 22, and the gap includes a shortest distance of about 10 μm or more and a longest distance of about 250 μm or less. Within the above range, by reducing the gap between the first electrode pad 21 and the second electrode pad 22, the upper viewing area of ​​the first electrode pad 21 and the second electrode pad 22 can be increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the light-emitting element 1 and avoiding a short circuit between the first electrode pad 21 and the second electrode pad 22.

[0115] The first electrode pad 21 and the second electrode pad 22 have a thickness between 1 and 100 μm, preferably between 1.5 and 6 μm.
