Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of LED display device manufacturing, and in particular to a micro light emitting diode and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A general light-emitting diode (LED) chip includes a substrate and an epitaxial layer, which is about 100 to 500 μm thick and 100 to 1000 μm in size. The ongoing research on micro-LED display panels is to lift off the epitaxial layer of the LED surface, which is about 4 to 5 μm thick, using physical or chemical mechanisms, and then transplant it to the circuit substrate. Micro-LED displays combine the two major technical features of thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) and LED. The development of materials, processes, and equipment is relatively mature. The product specifications are much higher than the current TFT-LCD or organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The application field is more extensive, including flexible and transparent displays. It is a highly feasible next-generation flat panel display technology.
[0003] Currently, there are two methods for applying micro LED chips in full-color AR micro displays and mobile / large displays. One is to use the three primary colors (Red Green Blue, RGB) of micro LEDs for natural color mixing; the other is quantum dots (QDs) + blue micro LED chips. If RGB micro LED chips are used for natural color mixing, the disadvantage is that the red color is GaAs material, and the green and blue colors are InGaN materials, which will cause difficulties in display board circuit design. If quantum dots + blue micro LED chips are used, the green light quantum dot color conversion efficiency is not high, resulting in low full color efficiency. Summary of the invention

Red quantum dots are placed in the nanostructure by spraying, evenly covering the inside of the nanoring, and the color conversion efficiency is improved due to the surface area effect of the nanostructure.

[0042] Specific structure such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a first semiconductor layer 11 , an active layer 12 and a second semiconductor layer 13 .
[0043] The first semiconductor layer 11 is an N-type semiconductor, more preferably GaN, which is a new generation of energy materials and is widely used in light-emitting diodes.
[0044] The first semiconductor layer 11 includes a low-temperature GaN layer 111 , on which an undoped GaN layer 112 and an N-type GaN layer 113 are sequentially stacked.
[0045] The active layer 12 is a quantum well layer, and the active layer 12 is composed of multiple pairs of quantum wells. The active layer 12 includes a first quantum well layer 121 and a second quantum well layer 122. The quantum well layer in this embodiment is a green light quantum well layer, that is, it emits green light after being powered on.
[0046] In this embodiment, the structure of a pair of quantum wells is InGaN well layer / low temperature GaN / high temperature GaN stacked in sequence, and the first quantum well layer 121 is composed of 10 pairs of quantum wells. The thickness of the 10 pairs of quantum wells is better matched in application and manufacturing, and the difficulty of manufacturing is not increased under the premise of reasonably controlling the size of the micro-light-emitting diode.

[0071] Example 3
[0072] like Figure 4 The following is a method for manufacturing a micro-LED according to the present application. The specific steps are as follows:
[0073] S10 provides a substrate 10 and forms a first semiconductor layer 11 on the substrate 10 .
[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, the first semiconductor layer 11 includes a low-temperature GaN layer 111, an undoped GaN layer 112 and an N-type GaN layer 113 which are stacked one by one, and the substrate 10 is a sapphire substrate.
[0075] S11 forms an active layer 12 and a second semiconductor layer 13 on the first semiconductor layer 11 .
[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, the active layer 12 is a quantum well layer, which is composed of a first quantum well layer 121 and a second quantum well layer 122, and a second semiconductor layer 13 is formed on the second quantum well layer. The first semiconductor layer 11 and the second semiconductor layer 13 are different types of semiconductors. In this embodiment, the first semiconductor layer 11 is an N-type semiconductor, and the second semiconductor layer is a P-type semiconductor. Specifically, the second semiconductor layer 13 is a P-type GaN layer.
[0077] The structure of a pair of quantum wells is InGaN well layer / low temperature GaN / high temperature GaN stacked in sequence, and the first quantum well layer 121 and the second quantum well layer 122 preferably include 10 pairs of green light quantum wells. The thickness of the first quantum well layer 121 and the second quantum well layer 122 set in this embodiment is conducive to controlling the difficulty of the process. If it is too thin, the process requirements will be higher and the light-emitting effect will be affected. However, if it is too thick, it will not be conducive to the thinness of the display panel.
[0078] S12 etches the second semiconductor layer 13 and the second quantum well layer 121 by a photolithography etching process to form a plurality of nano-ring structures 14, such as Figure 7 shown.
[0079] The specific method of the yellow light lithography process is to use nano-silicon dioxide particles to form a patterned mask on the second semiconductor layer 13, and then use dry etching to etch to form the nano ring 14. If the nano-silicon dioxide particles are not used and yellow light lithography is used, only the plane epitaxy will have stress and emit green light. After using SiO2 nanospheres and yellow light lithography to make the nano ring 14, the original quantum well stress will be released and the quantum confined Stark effect (Quantum Confined Stark Effect, QCSE) will be reduced to produce blue light.
[0080] S13 arranges the color conversion material 15 in the nano ring 14 .
[0081] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the color conversion material 15 is red quantum dots, which are sprayed into the nano ring 14 by spraying. Filling the nano ring with red light quantum dots can make the part of the quantum well structure that does not form the nano ring 14 emit green light, and the second green light quantum well layer 121 on the nano ring 14 emits blue light due to the change of the emission wavelength due to the material stress release, and the red quantum dots convert the green light emitted by the first quantum well layer 122 into red light, so that the three-color mixing point of the quantum well structure spontaneously emits white light.
[0082] S14 forms a current diffusion layer 17 on the first quantum well layer 121 and the nano-ring 14 .
[0083] like Fig. 9 As shown, the current diffusion layer 17 is preferably a transparent oxide layer, more preferably an ITO film, formed by depositing an ITO material.
[0084] S15: forming at least one second electrode 16 on the current diffusion layer 17.
[0085] like Fig.10 The second electrode 16 is preferably an ITO film, which is formed by depositing an ITO material on the current diffusion layer 17 and then performing selective etching.
[0086] S16 removes a portion of the current diffusion layer 17 , the nano-rings 14 and the first quantum well layer 121 to expose a portion of the first semiconductor layer 11 , and forms a first electrode 114 on the exposed first semiconductor layer 11 .
[0087] Preferably, the upper surface of the first electrode 114 is flush with the upper surface of the second electrode 16. Fig.11 The upper surface of the first electrode 114 is flush with the upper surface of the second electrode 16, which is conducive to packaging the light emitting diode using a flip chip packaging method.
[0088] S17 removes the substrate 10 and transfers the obtained structure to a display panel 20 .
[0089] The first electrode 114 and the second electrode 16 are bonded to the electrodes on the display panel 30, such as Fig.12 shown.
[0090] In this embodiment, the color of the light emitted by the active layer 12 and the color of the color conversion material are only selected for illustration of this embodiment. In other structures, when other materials are used as quantum well layers, nano-rings and color conversion materials, it is only necessary to ensure that the colors emitted by the first quantum well layer 121, the nano-ring sidewalls and the color conversion material are different to realize the concept of the present invention.
[0091] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
