AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, full-color LED microdisplays suffer from problems such as low conversion efficiency, low yield, and low color rendering index during the high-density, small-size fabrication process.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor displays, and in particular to a full-color LED microdisplay array structure, its fabrication method, and a full-color LED microdisplay. Background Technology
[0002] High-density full-color LED microdisplays are core components for realizing AR consumer applications. Full-color LED microdisplay technology is the key technology driving its practical development. Regarding the realization of full-color LED microdisplays, existing widely adopted full-color LED microdisplay manufacturing technologies rely on color conversion technology between monochrome (blue or violet) LED microarrays and fluorescent materials. The advantage of this technology is that it easily achieves high-density, small-size full-color LED microdisplay arrays. The biggest problem lies in the limitation of the conversion efficiency of the color conversion materials; as the size of monochrome pixels continues to shrink, the conversion efficiency problem becomes particularly prominent. Although existing technologies based on mass transfer of red, green, and blue LEDs have been maturely developed and applied in large-screen full-color LED displays, mainly by mass-transferring red, green, and blue LED arrays into a planar side-by-side structure and independently controlling the three primary colors of each pixel to achieve full color, its advantages include not relying on complex 3D interconnect IC processes, high yield, and high color rendering index. However, it is difficult to obtain high-density, small-size full-color LED microdisplay arrays.
[0003] Currently, various micro-LED transfer and integration technologies for semiconductors such as GaAs and GaN have developed micro-thin-film LEDs with different emission wavelengths and expanded their applications in areas such as biosensing. However, the development of micro-LED display technology based on III-V semiconductors also faces many challenges, including: (1) As the device size shrinks, the carrier recombination caused by edge defects also increases significantly, resulting in a decrease in the luminous performance of micro-LEDs as the size shrinks; (2) As the device size shrinks, the requirements for positioning accuracy in the device processing and transfer integration process are becoming increasingly higher, directly leading to an increase in process costs; (3) Since micro-LEDs with red, green, and blue emission wavelengths are based on III-V semiconductor materials with different compositions, they cannot be grown simultaneously, and the sizes of different devices also have significant differences. They need to be integrated by batch transfer, and the yield control in the integration process is also difficult. Chinese Patent Publication CN114824006A discloses a micro-LED array luminous structure and its preparation method. The micro LED array light-emitting structure includes a substrate and multiple LED array units. The multiple LED array units are distributed and arranged along the surface of the substrate for light emission display. Each of the multiple LED array units is a stacked structure.
[0004] Faced with mass transfer bonding technology and 3D interconnect IC manufacturing processes, the fabrication process suffers from problems such as complex wiring leading to low LED aperture ratio, low transfer bonding efficiency, low yield, and low color rendering index caused by crosstalk between the three primary color lights within each pixel.

[0122] S24. Thin the sapphire substrate to 100μm to complete the fabrication of the full-color LED microdisplay array structure.
[0123] This invention provides a method for fabricating a full-color LED microdisplay array structure. The method utilizes epitaxial growth of three-primary-color light-emitting diode materials, addressing the problems of low transfer bonding efficiency and low yield caused by complex processes involving multiple bonding and substrate removal in existing technologies. By introducing in-situ grown blue and green distributed Bragg reflectors, the method solves the problem of low color rendering index caused by crosstalk between the three primary colors within each pixel. Furthermore, through via connections and insulation isolation techniques, the method addresses the problem of low LED aperture ratio caused by complex wiring in existing technologies. In this full-color LED microdisplay array and its fabrication method, each pixel is a vertically stacked layer of red, green, and blue LEDs, arranged from bottom to top as follows: a blue LED light-emitting unit, an AlN / GaN distributed Bragg reflector with a blue center wavelength, a green LED light-emitting unit, an AlN / GaN distributed Bragg reflector with a green center wavelength, and a red LED unit. The vertically stacked red, green, and blue LED pixels are interconnected by their respective P-type control terminals and the n-type common terminals of the three LEDs, forming four connection endpoints. These endpoints are distributed in a coplanar manner through vias and insulation isolation technology. Red, green, and blue light are emitted from one side of the substrate, which not only avoids the low aperture ratio of LEDs caused by complex wiring processes but also enables the fabrication of ultra-high resolution full-color LED microdisplays. The introduction of the blue and green light distribution Bragg reflector effectively suppresses the back-emission of blue and green light, improving the light extraction efficiency of the blue and green LEDs while preventing the down-conversion process, thereby improving the color rendering index of the vertically stacked LEDs.
