TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of LED chip, and particularly relates to a high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series connection structure production method. BACKGROUND
[0002] LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a kind of solid-state semiconductor device which converts electrical energy into light energy. As a new type of light-emitting device, LED has the advantages of high light efficiency, energy saving, long service life, short response time, environmental protection, etc., and is therefore called the most potential new generation light source, and is extremely common in the field of lighting.
[0003] In recent years, in order to reduce the power consumption of LED chips and improve the utilization rate of packaging supports, a high-voltage chip is developed and designed, that is, two or more same LED chips are connected in series through a metal bridge, and the same current is provided for the above-mentioned high-voltage chip, so that the light intensity is more than twice that of ordinary chips.
[0004] However, in the actual production and use process, the inventor finds that the metal bridge is often broken, causing a high rate of defective high-voltage chips.
[0005] In the prior art (referring to Chinese patent CN106098899A), an insulating organic silicone glue is filled in the groove, and the groove depth is reduced to reduce the risk of insulation and metal fracture caused by too large height difference during subsequent insulation layer deposition and metal evaporation. SUMMARY
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series connection structure production method to solve the problem that the series connection structure of the metal bridge is easy to break.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, a technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: a high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series connection structure production method, comprising the following steps:
[0008] S1: using a metal organic chemical vapor deposition method to grow a N layer, a quantum well layer and a P layer on a sapphire substrate;
[0009] S2: etching the middle part of the P layer and the middle part of the quantum well until the surface of the N layer is exposed; in this step, the exposed N layer is a first exposed part, so that the P layer is divided into a first P layer and a second P layer; so that the quantum well is divided into a first quantum well and a second quantum well; to obtain Wafer1;
[0010] S3: coating a first insulating layer on the Wafer1; a photoresist; developing the photoresist above the middle part of the first exposed part; obtaining Wafer 2;
[0011] S4: baking Wafer 2, baking time 2-6 min, temperature 100-160 degrees; using plasma dry etching to etch the middle part of the first exposed part until the sapphire substrate is exposed; obtaining Wafer 3;
[0012] S5: depositing silicon dioxide on Wafer 3, etching the silicon dioxide near the edge of the first P layer side of the first exposed part, etching the silicon dioxide away from the edge of the first P layer side of the second P layer; the remaining silicon dioxide covering the part of the first exposed part, the exposed sapphire substrate, the second quantum well sidewall, the second P layer sidewall and the side of the second P layer near the first P layer in sequence is the second current blocking layer.
[0013] S6: evaporating metal bridges on the first exposed part not covered by the second current blocking layer, the second current blocking layer and the second P layer; obtaining the high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series structure.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present application are that in the high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series structure production method provided by the present application, the photoresist applied on Wafer 1 is a relatively thick photoresist;
[0015] After developing the photoresist, the photoresist is baked: baking Wafer 2, baking time 2-6 min, temperature 100-160 degrees; while in the prior art, the photoresist is usually not baked. The high baking temperature and long baking time of the photoresist in the present application make the photoresist soften and tend to melt, the sidewall of the photoetching hole is inclined, the inclination of the photoetching hole of the photoresist is small, between 40-45 degrees, and the cross section of the photoetching hole of the photoresist is trapezoidal.
[0016] At this time, the N layer is etched, because the etching process also etches away a layer of photoresist, so the cross section of the photoetching hole of the N layer is also trapezoidal, and the sidewall inclination of the photoetching hole of the N layer is only 35-40 degrees.
[0017] Covering the metal bridge (series structure) on the N layer with a small slope photoetching hole, so that the metal bridge has a small bending angle.
[0018] Therefore, the high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series structure production method provided by the present application makes the metal bridge have a small bending angle, which has the effect of preventing the series structure from breaking. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0030] To explain the technical content, the purpose and effect of the present application in detail, the following will be described in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 A series structure production method for preventing high-voltage LED chips from breaking, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
[0032] S1: using metal organic chemical vapor deposition method to grow N layer, quantum well layer and P layer of gallium nitride base on sapphire substrate;
[0033] S2: etching the middle part of P layer and the middle part of quantum well until the surface of N layer is exposed; the exposed N layer in this step is the first exposed part, which divides the P layer into the first P layer and the second P layer; and the quantum well is divided into the first quantum well and the second quantum well; Wafer1 is obtained;
[0034] S3: applying photoresist on Wafer1; developing the photoresist above the middle part of the first exposed part; Wafer2 is obtained;
[0035] S4: baking Wafer2 for 2-6 min at 100-160 degrees; using plasma dry etching the middle part of the first exposed part until the sapphire substrate is exposed; Wafer3 is obtained;
[0036] S5: depositing silicon dioxide on the Wafer3, etching the silicon dioxide close to the side edge of the first P layer of the first exposed part, etching the silicon dioxide away from the side edge of the first P layer of the second P layer, and retaining the silicon dioxide covering the part of the first exposed part, the exposed sapphire substrate, the sidewall of the second quantum well, the sidewall of the second P layer and the side of the second P layer close to the first P layer in sequence as the second current blocking layer.
[0037] S6: evaporating metal bridges on the first exposed part not covered by the second current blocking layer, the second current blocking layer and the second P layer, and obtaining the high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series structure.
[0038] From the above description, the beneficial effects of the present application are that the inventor has found that the reason why the LED series structure (i.e. the metal bridge) is easy to break is that the bending angle of the metal bridge is too large. Further, the reason why the bending angle of the metal bridge is too large is that the sidewall slope (or gradient) of the N layer etched out after etching the N layer is too large, usually 90 degrees.
[0039] In order to solve the above problems, the high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series structure production method provided by the present application includes that the photoresist on the Wafer1 is a relatively thick photoresist.
[0040] After developing the photoresist, the photoresist is baked: baking the Wafer2, baking time 2-6 min, temperature 100-160 degrees. In the prior art, the photoresist is usually not baked. The high baking temperature and long baking time of the photoresist in the present application make the photoresist soften and tend to melt, the sidewall of the photoetching hole is inclined, the gradient of the photoetching hole of the photoresist is small, between 40-45 degrees, and the cross section of the photoetching hole of the photoresist is trapezoidal.
[0041] At this time, the N layer is etched, because the etching process also etches away a layer of photoresist, so the cross section of the photoetching hole of the N layer etched is also trapezoidal, and the sidewall gradient of the photoetching hole of the N layer is only 35-40 degrees.
[0042] The metal bridge (series structure) is covered on the photoetching hole of the N layer with the small slope, so that the bending angle of the metal bridge is small.
[0043] Therefore, the high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series structure production method provided by the present application makes the bending angle of the metal bridge small, and has the effect of preventing the series structure from breaking.
[0044] Further, the S2 includes S2.1 and S2.2.
[0045] The S2 is specifically:
[0046] S2.1: etching the middle part of the P layer and the middle part of the quantum well until the surface of the N layer is exposed; the exposed N layer in this step is a first exposed part, the P layer is divided into a first P layer and a second P layer, and the quantum well is divided into a first quantum well and a second quantum well.
[0047] S2.2: etching the second P layer and the second quantum well to expose the second N layer; the exposed second N layer in this step is a second exposed part; and Wafer1 is obtained.
[0048] As can be seen from the above description, S2 further includes S2.2, and the role of S2.2 is to make the MASE of the second P layer and the second quantum well, expose the second N layer, and facilitate the subsequent manufacturing of the N pole.
[0049] Further, S2.3 is further included between S2 and S3.
[0050] S2.3: placing Wafer1 into a cleaning machine, stopping the bubbling cleaning after 120 s of bubbling cleaning;

[0052] Setting the rotation speed of the cleaning machine to 2000 r / min, and simultaneously opening the air valve for 360 s.
[0053] Taking Wafer1 out of the cleaning machine.
[0054] As can be seen from the above description, the above steps can clean the etching residual impurities, and ensure the cleanliness of the surface of Wafer1.
[0055] Further, S2.4 is further included between S2 and S3.
[0056] S2.4: baking Wafer1 for 80-120 s at a temperature of 80-120 degrees.
[0057] As can be seen from the above description, baking Wafer1 in advance can improve the adhesion of the photoresist when the photoresist is applied subsequently, and improve the reliability of the photoresist.
[0058] Further, S3 is specifically: applying photoresist on Wafer1;
[0059] Exposing after setting a photoetching mask plate on the photoresist, the exposure energy is 230-280 mj, and the time is 5-10 s; then developing 2-4 times, forming photoetching holes on the photoresist after developing, cleaning the photoetching holes after each developing; the total developing time is 50-110 s; and Wafer2 is obtained.
[0060] From the above description, the above steps provide a simple and efficient photoetching photoresist method. Since the photoresist is thick, the photoetching hole formed has high precision.
[0061] Further, the S5 is specifically: depositing silicon dioxide on the Wafer3, etching away the silicon dioxide on the edge of the first P layer; the silicon dioxide remaining in the middle of the first P layer is the first current blocking layer;
[0062] Etching the silicon dioxide on the edge of the first P layer close to the first exposed part, etching the silicon dioxide on the edge of the second P layer away from the first P layer, and etching the silicon dioxide on the second exposed part; the remaining silicon dioxide covering the part of the first exposed part, the exposed sapphire substrate, the sidewall of the second quantum well, the sidewall of the second P layer, and the side of the second P layer close to the first P layer is sequentially connected and is the second current blocking layer.
[0063] From the above description, the first current blocking layer plays a role in diffusing current, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the high-voltage LED chip. The second current blocking layer also has the effect of the first current blocking layer, and it can avoid the direct connection of the first N layer to the second N layer and the second quantum well.

[0066] From the above description, the first ITO and the second ITO play a role in diffusing current, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the high-voltage LED chip.

[0082] S3: Etch the middle part of the surface exposed N layer until the sapphire substrate 1 is exposed, so that the N layer is divided into a first N layer 2 and a second N layer 21.
[0083] S3 is specifically:
[0084] Bake the Wafer 1 for 100s at a temperature of 100 degrees; apply photoresist on the Wafer 1.
[0085] After setting a photoetch mask plate on the photoresist and exposing, the exposure energy is 250-260mj, and the time is 7-8s; then develop twice, form a photoetch hole on the photoresist after developing, and clean the photoetch hole after each developing; total developing time is 80s; Wafer 2 is obtained.
[0086] Bake Wafer2, baking time 4min, temperature 130 degrees.
[0087] Use plasma dry etching to etch N layer of Wafer2 until the sapphire substrate 1 is exposed.
[0088] Peel off the photoresist; get Wafer3.
[0089] S4: deposit silicon dioxide on Wafer3, etch off the silicon dioxide on the edge of the first P layer 4; the silicon dioxide remaining in the middle of the first P layer 4 is the first current blocking layer 5.
[0090] Etch the silicon dioxide on the side of the first exposed part close to the first P layer 4, etch the silicon dioxide on the side of the second P layer 41 away from the first P layer 4, and etch the silicon dioxide on the second exposed part.

[0096] The principle of the high-voltage LED chip anti-fracture series structure production method provided by Example 1 and the principle of the high-voltage LED chip produced:
[0097] The high-voltage LED chip current flows from the P pole into the first ITO, the first ITO layer plays a diffusion role for the current, avoiding the current from flowing through the first P layer and the first quantum well at a point, thereby improving the luminous flux of the high-voltage LED chip.
[0098] After the current flows through the first ITO, it bypasses the first current blocking layer (which plays a similar role to the first ITO), and then flows through the first P layer, the first quantum well, the first N layer, the metal bridge, the second ITO, the second P layer, the second quantum well, the second N layer, and the N pole in turn.
[0099] Wherein, "S3: etching the middle part of the N layer exposed on the surface until the sapphire substrate is exposed", the N layer is divided into a first N layer and a second N layer, and if the first N layer and the second N layer are connected, it will cause a conflict in the current flow, causing the problem of a sharp decrease in the high-voltage LED chip. To further solve this problem, a second current blocking layer structure is also provided, which avoids the metal bridge from contacting the second N layer, the second quantum well, and the P layer directly from the P layer side wall while contacting the first N layer. The second current blocking layer also has the effect of diffusing the current as the first current blocking layer.
