When the following description refers to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
[0062] The present disclosure provides a resonant cavity light emitting diode. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the resonant cavity light emitting diode may include a light emitting structure layer 5, a first reflector layer 4 and a second reflector layer 6, wherein:
[0063] The light-emitting structure layer 5 includes a first surface 504 and a second surface 505 facing each other, and a sidewall 506 connecting the first surface 504 and the second surface 505. The first reflector layer 4 is disposed on the first surface 504. The second reflector layer 6 covers at least a portion of the sidewall 506 and the second surface 505 of the light-emitting structure layer 5, and the second reflector layer 6 is made of an insulating material.
[0064] In the resonant cavity light-emitting diode disclosed herein, the light-emitting structure layer 5 includes a first surface 504 and a second surface 505 relative to each other, and a side wall 506 connecting the first surface 504 and the second surface 505. The second reflector layer 6 not only covers the second surface 505 of the light-emitting structure layer 5, but also covers the side wall 506 of the light-emitting structure layer 5. It can reflect the light emitted from the side wall 506 of the light-emitting structure layer 5 to prevent the light from leaking from the side wall 506 of the light-emitting structure layer 5, thereby improving the reflection efficiency and thus improving the light-emitting efficiency of the resonant cavity light-emitting diode. On the other hand, the second reflector layer 6 is an insulating material and can serve as a protective layer for the light-emitting diode to protect the top and side wall 506 of the light-emitting diode, thereby reducing the steps of manufacturing the insulating protective layer and saving costs.
[0065] The following is a detailed description of the various components of the resonant cavity light emitting diode disclosed herein:
[0066] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the light emitting structure layer 5 may include a first conductive type semiconductor layer 501, a light emitting layer 502 and a second conductive type semiconductor layer 503 arranged in a stacked manner. The light emitting layer 502 may be at least one of a single quantum well structure, a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure, a quantum wire structure and a quantum dot structure. The first conductive type is different from the second conductive type. The first conductive type semiconductor layer 501 may be a P-type semiconductor layer, and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 503 may be an N-type semiconductor layer, but the present disclosure does not specifically limit this. The P-type semiconductor layer may be a P-type GaN layer, and the N-type semiconductor layer may be an N-type GaN layer. The first surface 504 of the light emitting structure layer 5 is the surface of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501 facing away from the light emitting layer 502. The second surface 505 of the light emitting structure layer 5 is the surface of the second conductive type semiconductor layer 503 facing away from the light emitting layer 502. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the sidewalls of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501, the sidewalls of the light emitting layer 502 and the sidewalls of the second conductive type semiconductor layer 503 are flush. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501 includes a first region 5011 and a second region 5012 surrounding the first region 5011. The thickness of the first region 5011 is greater than the thickness of the second region 5012. The light-emitting layer 502 is arranged on the first region 5011, that is, the edge of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501 extends out of the light-emitting layer 502 and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 503.
[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first reflector layer 4 is provided on the first surface 504 of the light emitting structure layer 5. Specifically, the first reflector layer 4 can be provided on the above-mentioned first conductive type semiconductor layer 501. The reflectivity of the first reflector layer 4 can be 99%-100%. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first reflector layer 4 is a Bragg reflector (DBR). The material of the Bragg reflector is a group of multi-periodic materials selected from the material group including TiO2 / SiO2, Ti3O5 / SiO2, Ta2O5 / SiO2, Ti3O5 / Al2O3, ZrO2 / SiO2 or TiO2 / Al2O3. Furthermore, an ITO layer can be provided between the first reflector layer 4 and the light emitting structure layer 5.
[0068] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first reflector layer 4 is a metal reflector. The material of the metal reflector can be Ag, Ni / Ag / Ni, etc. The use of a metal reflector solves the problem of difficult epitaxial growth of a Bragg reflector. In order to prevent the first reflector layer 4 from being oxidized, the present disclosure may further include a metal protective layer 3. The metal protective layer 3 can be provided on the side of the light-emitting structure layer 5 away from the second reflector layer 6 and cover the first reflector layer 4. The material of the metal protective layer 3 can be Ni, TiW, Pt, etc. In addition, the size of the first reflector layer 4 as a metal reflector can be smaller than the size of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501.
[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the reflectivity of the second reflector layer 6 is 50%-80%. The second reflector layer 6 can be a Bragg reflector. The second reflector layer 6 covers at least a portion of the sidewall 506 and the second surface 505 of the light emitting structure layer 5. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second reflector layer 6 covers the entire area of the side wall 506 and the second surface 505 of the light emitting structure layer 5. Specifically, the resonant cavity light emitting diode of the present disclosure may further include a conductive support layer 2. The conductive support layer 2 is provided on the side of the light emitting structure layer 5 away from the second reflector layer 6, and covers the first reflector layer 4. The outer edge of the conductive support layer 2 extends out of the light emitting structure layer 5. The second reflector layer 6 covers the upper surface of the conductive support layer 2 and the light emitting structure layer 5, so that the second reflector layer 6 covers the entire area of the side wall 506 of the light emitting structure layer 5. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the second reflector layer 6 covers a portion of the sidewall 506 of the light-emitting structure layer 5. Taking the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501 including the first region 5011 and the second region 5012 as an example, the second reflector layer 6 covers the second surface 505, the surface of the second region 5012 facing away from the first reflector layer 4, and the sidewall 506 of the light-emitting structure layer 5 sandwiched between the two surfaces. In addition, the distance between the portion of the second reflector layer 6 covering the second surface 505 and the first reflector layer 4, that is, the cavity length of the resonant cavity, is equal to an integer multiple of the effective half-wavelength within the light-emitting diode.
[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the conductive support layer 2 may include a metal bonding layer 202 and a heavily doped silicon substrate 201. The metal bonding layer 202 may be provided on a side of the light emitting structure layer 5 away from the second reflector layer 6. The metal bonding layer 202 may be in contact with the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501 of the light emitting structure layer 5. The first reflector layer 4 is coated between the metal bonding layer 202 and the light emitting structure layer 5. The material of the metal bonding layer 202 includes at least one of Gr, Ti, and Au. Furthermore, the metal protective layer 3 is also coated between the metal bonding layer 202 and the light emitting structure layer 5. The heavily doped silicon substrate 201 covers the side of the metal bonding layer 202 away from the light emitting structure layer 5.
[0071] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the resonant cavity light emitting diode of the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a first electrode 1 and a second electrode 7. The first electrode 1 may be provided on the side of the conductive support layer 2 away from the light emitting structure layer 5, and the second electrode 7 may be provided on the second surface 505 of the light emitting structure layer 5. Based on this, the current can flow perpendicular to the electrodes, solving the problem of local heating caused by the lateral flow of current when the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 7 are provided on the same side. The second electrode 7 may be provided through the second reflector layer 6 to contact the light emitting structure layer 5. Taking the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501 as a P-type semiconductor layer and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 503 as an N-type semiconductor layer as an example, the first electrode 1 is a P-type electrode and the second electrode 7 is an N-type electrode.
[0072] The present disclosure also provides a method for preparing a resonant cavity light emitting diode, which is used to prepare the resonant cavity light emitting diode described in any of the above embodiments. Figure 6 As shown, the method for preparing the resonant cavity light emitting diode may include steps S100 to S120, wherein:
[0073] Step S100 : forming a light emitting structure layer, wherein the light emitting structure layer includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and a sidewall connecting the first surface and the second surface.
[0074] Step S110 : forming a first reflector layer on the first surface of the light emitting structure layer.
[0075] Step S120 : forming a second reflector layer covering at least a portion of the sidewall and the second surface of the light emitting structure layer, wherein the second reflector layer is made of an insulating material.
[0076] The resonant cavity light emitting diode prepared by the method for preparing the resonant cavity light emitting diode disclosed in the present invention is the same as the resonant cavity light emitting diode in the above embodiment, and therefore has the same beneficial effects, which will not be described in detail here.
[0077] The following is a detailed description of the steps of the method for preparing a resonant cavity light emitting diode disclosed in the present invention:
[0078] In step S100 , a light emitting structure layer is formed. The light emitting structure layer includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and a sidewall connecting the first surface and the second surface.
[0079] For example, step S100 may include:
[0080] Step S1000: providing a substrate.
[0081] like Figure 7 As shown, the substrate 8 can be a silicon substrate, or a silicon carbide substrate, but is not limited thereto, and can also be a sapphire substrate. In addition, a buffer layer 9 can be formed on the substrate 8.
[0082] Step S1001: growing a light-emitting structure layer on a substrate.
[0083] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, taking the substrate 8 provided with the buffer layer 9 as an example, the light emitting structure layer 5 can be grown on the side of the buffer layer 9 away from the substrate 8. The surface of the light emitting structure layer 5 facing away from the substrate 8 is the first surface 504, and the surface of the light emitting structure layer 5 facing the substrate 8 is the second surface 505.
[0084] In step S110 , a first reflector layer is formed on a first surface of the light emitting structure layer.
[0085] like Figure 7 As shown, taking the first reflector layer 4 as a metal reflector as an example, the first reflector can be prepared by electron beam evaporation. An annealing process is required after the evaporation is completed. In order to protect the first reflector layer 4, the embodiment of the present disclosure can also form a metal protective layer 3 covering the first reflector layer 4. The metal protective layer 3 can be prepared by magnetron sputtering. The number of the first reflector layer 4 can be multiple. The number of the metal protective layers 3 can also be multiple, and the multiple metal protective layers 3 cover the multiple first reflector layers 4 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0086] Furthermore, if Figures 8 to 10As shown, embodiments of the present disclosure can also form a conductive support layer 2 that encapsulates a metal protective layer 3. Specifically, the steps for forming the conductive support layer 2 may include: providing a heavily doped silicon substrate 201; forming a first metal bonding layer 2021 on the surface of the heavily doped silicon substrate 201; forming a second metal bonding layer 2022 that encapsulates the metal protective layer 3; and bonding the first metal bonding layer 2021 to the second metal bonding layer 2022. The heavily doped silicon substrate 201, the first metal bonding layer 2021, and the second metal bonding layer 2022 constitute the conductive support layer 2. Furthermore, after the conductive support layer 2 is formed, embodiments of the present disclosure can also remove the aforementioned substrate 8 and buffer layer 9.
[0087] In step S120 , a second reflector layer is formed to cover at least a portion of the sidewall and the second surface of the light emitting structure layer. The second reflector layer is made of an insulating material.
[0088] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figures 11 to 13 As shown, step 120 may include: forming a second reflector layer 6 covering the upper surface of the conductive support layer 2 and the light-emitting structure layer 5, that is, the second reflector layer 6 covers the entire area of the sidewall 506 of the light-emitting structure layer 5. Further, taking the number of first reflector layers 4 as an example, step 120 may include: after removing the substrate 8 and the buffer layer 9, patterning the light-emitting structure layer 5 to form isolation trenches 10, the light-emitting structure layer 5 being divided into multiple parts by the isolation trenches 10, each part of the light-emitting structure layer 5 being provided with a first reflector layer 4, the isolation trenches 10 exposing the conductive support layer 2; and forming the second reflector layer 6 covering the upper surface of the conductive support layer 2 and each part of the light-emitting structure layer 5.
[0089] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 11 、 Figure 14 as well as Figure 15 As shown, step 120 may include: after removing the substrate 8 and the buffer layer 9, patterning the light emitting structure layer 5 to form an isolation trench 10, the light emitting structure layer 5 is divided into a plurality of parts by the isolation trench 10, each part of the light emitting structure layer 5 is provided with a first reflector layer 4, the isolation trench 10 exposes the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501, wherein the area of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501 exposed by the isolation trench 10 is the second area 5012 of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 501 (see Figure 5 ); forming a second reflector layer 6 covering the surface of the second region 5012 facing away from the first reflector layer 4, the second surface 505, and the sidewall 506 of the light-emitting structure layer 5 between the two surfaces. It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second reflector layer 6 covers a portion of the sidewall 506 of the light-emitting structure layer 5.
