Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of LED chip, in particular to a LED wafer coating method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of LED chip, vacuum evaporation machine is often used to evaporate electrode on wafer. Vacuum evaporation refers to a process method that evaporates film material (or film material) at a certain temperature under vacuum condition, so that the gas particles fly to the wafer surface and condense into a film.

[0003] In the prior art, the evaporation technology of LED electrode is mostly central evaporation, that is, the evaporation source is below the rotating evaporation pot, and the evaporation method is that the evaporation source is on the rotation axis of the evaporation pot. The electrode side wall angle evaporated by this method is relatively steep (the cross section of the electrode is approximately trapezoidal, and "the electrode side wall angle is relatively steep" means that the four corners of the trapezoid are closer to 90 degrees), which is not conducive to the protection of the electrode by the electrode protection layer. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a LED wafer coating method to solve the problem of steep electrode side wall evaporation.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, a technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a LED wafer coating method, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1: setting the wafer on the evaporation pot of the evaporation machine; setting the evaporation source below the evaporation pot;

[0007] S2: in the horizontal direction, the distance from the evaporation source to the orbit axis of the evaporation pot is 0.3-0.5 times of the orbit radius of the evaporation pot;

[0008] S3: placing the evaporation material on the evaporation source;

[0009] S4: setting the evaporation source to start evaporation at the same time, setting the evaporation pot to rotate at a speed of 6-10 rpm around its own axis, and setting the self-rotation speed of the evaporation pot to 250-300° / S;

[0010] S5: completing the electrode evaporation of the wafer.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present application (please refer to the attached Figure 1 ): The traditional electrode evaporation process needs to smear photoresist on the wafer, develop the photoresist, and form photoetching holes with trapezoidal cross section.

[0012] The first evaporation source point corresponds to the traditional electrode evaporation process, the first evaporation source point is on the orbit axis of the evaporation pot, and the sublimation evaporation path of the evaporation material of the first evaporation source point is the first evaporation path;

[0013] The plating source of the application is arranged at the second plating source point, and the sublimation plating film moving path of the plating material of the second plating source point is the second evaporation path.

[0014] In the traditional electrode evaporation process, the surface of the wafer is usually perpendicular to the first evaporation path to ensure the evaporation of symmetrical electrodes. In the application, the distance from the plating source to the revolution axis of the plating pot is one half to one third of the revolution radius of the plating pot. By comparing the first evaporation path and the second evaporation path, it can be found that, on the upper side of the photoetching hole, due to the blockage of the photoresist, the plating material wall of the first plating source point covers less wafer surface than the plating material of the second plating source point.

[0015] The plating source of the application can evaporate asymmetrical electrodes, so the plating pot is arranged to rotate to make the electrodes symmetrical.

[0016] Therefore, the electrodes evaporated by the LED wafer plating method provided by the application have gentle slopes between the electrode side walls and the wafer surface, and the electrode protection layer can better protect the electrodes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0032] The plating source of the present application is set at the second plating source point 3, and the sublimation plating film moving path of the plating material of the second plating source point 3 is the second evaporation path 31.

[0033] In the traditional electrode evaporation process, the surface of the wafer is usually perpendicular to the first evaporation path 21 to ensure that the electrode is symmetrical; in the present application, the distance from the plating source to the plating pot revolution axis is one-half to one-third of the plating pot revolution radius 4, and by comparing the first evaporation path 21 and the second evaporation path 31, it can be found that on the upper side of the photoetching hole 11, due to the blockage of the photoresist 1, the plating material wall of the first plating source point 2 and the plating material of the second plating source point 3 cover less wafer surface.

[0043] From the above description, the above setting provides a simple and efficient evaporation deposition temperature and process temperature.
