Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a GaN-based vertical structure micro-cavity Micro-LED. Background Art
[0002] Micro-LED has important applications in display and visible light communication. The display industry is a leading industry in the information age, with an annual output value of more than 100 billion US dollars. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have gradually become the mainstream in the field of display lighting with irreplaceable advantages such as energy saving, high efficiency, durability, and mercury-free. Micro-LED is considered to be the most promising display technology after TFT-LCD and AMOLED technology due to its excellent characteristics such as ultra-high resolution, high brightness, ultra-power saving and fast response speed. In Micro-LED display, the size of the pixel unit is reduced to improve the display accuracy and resolution. LED is similar to Lambertian light source, and its light emission angle is large. The chip thickness obtained by Trace-Pro software simulation is 10μm, and when the size is 50μm, the side wall light emission ratio reaches 15%. It can be seen that as the size of the Micro-LED pixel unit decreases, its side wall area ratio will also increase with the size reduction, resulting in an increase in the side wall light emission that cannot be ignored, causing the "cross talk" effect of adjacent pixel units to become significant, greatly reducing the performance of Micro-LED display, such as contrast and clarity. At present, the research on Micro-LED display focuses more on key process technologies such as mass transfer, but lacks research on the above-mentioned "cross talk" problem. Professor Guo Haozhong of National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan, China, and others use photolithography and other processes to make a "dam" around each Micro-LED pixel to absorb the sidewalls and part of the oblique outgoing light to reduce the "cross talk" effect of adjacent pixels. However, this method increases the process steps, and the dam itself is part of the pixel, which limits the further reduction of the overall pixel size. In addition, the half-height width of the conventional Micro-LED is relatively wide, reaching 20nm, which limits the performance of the Micro-LED display threshold.
[0003] In addition, visible light communication based on Micro-LED has the characteristics of available visible light resources, wide available visible light bandwidth, strong security (no signal if blocked), etc., and has many application prospects in the intelligent interconnected society. However, due to the piezoelectric polarization effect of MQW (quantum well) of GaN-based Micro-LED, the luminescence rate is very slow, which greatly limits the bandwidth of Micro-LED as a visible light communication light source. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a GaN-based vertical structure microcavity Micro-LED, which can improve the front light emission directionality, light emission speed and light extraction efficiency of the Micro-LED, reduce the volume of the Micro-LED and improve the integration.

[0006] The size of the Micro-LED chip is 10~1000μm; the reflector electrode is Ni / Ag / Pt / Au, which is also a metal electrode.
[0007] The method for preparing the GaN-based vertical structure micro-cavity Micro-LED of the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0008] (1) Growing a u-GaN layer, an n-GaN layer, an MQW layer and a p-GaN layer in sequence on substrate 1 to obtain an LED epitaxial material;

[0011] (4) removing substrate 1 of the structure obtained in step (3);
[0012] (5) removing the u-GaN layer and part of the n-GaN layer of the structure obtained in step (4) by dry etching to the designed cavity length;
[0013] (6) etching the structure obtained in step (5) to the reflector electrode to form a chip table;
[0014] (7) a passivation layer is formed on the upper surface of the chip table 2 obtained in step (6), the n-GaN layer, the MQW layer, and the side wall of the p-GaN layer, and a passivation layer is also formed on both sides of the upper surface of the n-GaN layer except for the dielectric film position, and the shape of the prepared passivation layer is a right-angled Z-shape;
[0015] (8) preparing an ohmic contact metal on the passivation layer on one side of the structure obtained in step (7), wherein a portion of the upper portion of the ohmic contact metal is in contact with the upper surface of the n-GaN layer;
[0016] (9) A dielectric film is deposited on the surface of the n-GaN layer of the vertical structure Micro-LED chip obtained in step (8), and a GaN-based vertical structure Micro-LED chip is obtained after cutting.
[0017] In the step (1), the substrate 1 is one of gemstone, silicon, silicon carbide, and gallium nitride; the thickness of the u-GaN layer is 4-6 μm, the thickness of the n-GaN layer is 4-6 μm, the thickness of the MQW layer is 50-500 nm, and the thickness of the p-GaN layer is 50-200 nm; the MQW layer is composed of an alternating cycle of InGaN layer and GaN layer, wherein the thickness of the InGaN layer is 2 nm, and the thickness of the GaN layer is 10 nm; the preparation method of the u-GaN layer, the n-GaN layer, the MQW layer, and the p-GaN layer is MOCVD growth.
[0018] In the step (2), the preparation method of the reflector electrode is electron beam evaporation, and the deposition temperature is 110-130°C; the reflector electrode is Ni / Ag / Pt / Au, wherein the thickness of Ni is 0.5, the thickness of Ag is 200, the thickness of Pt is 50, and the thickness of Au is 200nm.
[0019] In the step (3), the preparation method of the substrate seven is electroplating; the material of the substrate seven is one of Cu and Ni, and the thickness of the substrate seven is 70-100 μm.
[0020] In the step (4), the substrate 1 is removed by one of laser stripping, grinding and polishing, and wet etching.
[0021] In the step (5), the thickness of the n-GaN layer after etching is 50-500 nm, and the designed cavity length means that the cavity length is an integer multiple of the wavelength.
[0022] In the step (6), after etching, the width of the reflective mirror layer is greater than that of the u-GaN layer, the n-GaN layer, the MQW layer and the p-GaN layer. The u-GaN layer, the n-GaN layer, the MQW layer and the p-GaN layer are located in the middle of the reflective mirror layer, and the exposed portions on both sides are chip mesas.
[0023] In the step (7), the passivation layer is one of SiO2 and Ta2O5, the passivation layer is prepared by chemical deposition, and the thickness of the passivation layer is 200-250 nm.
[0024] In the step (8), the ohmic contact metal is Cr / Al / Ti / Au; the preparation method is electron beam evaporation; and the deposition temperature is 15-25°C.
[0025] In the step (9), the dielectric film is one or more of SiO2, Si3N4, TiO2, and is prepared by PECVD deposition. The thickness of the dielectric film is 251-264 nm.
[0026] 1. The half-height width of the light emission is narrow and the light emission directionality is good. By reducing the chip thickness and using the metal reflector of the p-GaN layer (5) and the dielectric film reflector of the n-GaN layer as the end face of the resonant cavity, a vertical resonant microcavity structure is formed, which will suppress the side wall light emission and improve the front light emission directionality, thereby reducing the crosstalk effect between adjacent pixels of the Micro-LED display. At the same time, the resonant microcavity structure will select a specific wavelength to narrow its light emission spectrum and increase the spectral purity, which will help to increase the threshold of the Micro-LED display;
[0027] Second, fast light emission speed. Due to the Purcell effect, the vertical resonant microcavity formed while reducing the size of the Micro-LED will increase its light emission speed, thereby increasing the bandwidth of the Micro-LED light source in visible light communication;
[0028] 3. High brightness and high efficiency. There is a large difference in refractive index between GaN material and air, and total reflection occurs at the interface, so that most of the emitted light of the LED device is confined inside the device. At the same time, the thick film effect of the epitaxial nitride will cause many waveguide modes to exist inside the device, so that the emitted light is coupled into the waveguide mode, transmitted inside the device, and finally absorbed and lost. Due to the microcavity effect, the spontaneous emission rate at the resonant wavelength increases. At the same time, most of the light emission angles are concentrated in the light extraction window, and only a very small amount of light is absorbed by the active layer, making its luminous brightness higher. Micro-LEDs with reduced thickness will suppress the waveguide modes in conventional thick-film Micro-LEDs, which will improve their light extraction efficiency, the brightness of Micro-LED displays, and the signal stability of visible light communications;
[0029] 4. Higher integration and better temperature stability. The thickness of the chip is mostly in the order of the central wavelength of the light emission, which will greatly improve the integration of Micro-LED display. The emission spectrum of traditional LED quantum wells becomes wider with the increase of temperature and the peak wavelength is red-shifted. However, due to the presence of upper and lower reflectors, the wavelength shift of the vertical structure Micro-LED depends on the temperature coefficient of the optical cavity, and the temperature stability is good.
[0030] 5. The photoelectric and thermal performance is better. The vertical structure LED has a large active area, and n-GaN absorbs less light; the current expansion is better, the voltage is lower, and the current density is smaller, which has advantages in light efficiency, saturation current, and long-term reliability; secondly, the Cu substrate has good electrical and thermal conductivity, and the chip thermal resistance is small.
