[0040] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for preparing a light-emitting device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the epitaxial substrate in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram after the support layer is formed in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the light-emitting structure layer after patterning in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 This is another schematic diagram of the light-emitting structure layer after patterning in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the light-emitting device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for preparing the light-emitting device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure may include steps S100 to S130:

[0044] Step S100 : providing an epitaxial substrate, wherein the epitaxial substrate has a first recessed portion, and an inner surface of the first recessed portion is a curved surface.

[0045] Step S110 , epitaxially growing a light emitting structure layer on the epitaxial substrate, wherein the light emitting structure layer includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and the second surface is convex toward the first recessed portion.

[0046] Step S120 , forming a first reflector layer on the first surface.

[0047] Step S130 , removing the epitaxial substrate to form a second reflector layer covering the second surface.

[0048] In the method for preparing the light-emitting device of the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the epitaxial substrate has a first recessed portion, and the inner surface of the first recessed portion is a curved surface, so that the second surface of the light-emitting structure layer grown on the epitaxial substrate protrudes toward the first recessed portion, and then the second reflector layer covering the second surface protrudes outward to form a curved resonant cavity, thereby increasing the cavity of the resonant cavity, enhancing light confinement, and improving the photoelectric performance of the light-emitting device.

[0049] The following is a detailed description of each step of the method for preparing the light-emitting device according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure:

[0050] In step S100 , an epitaxial substrate is provided. The epitaxial substrate has a first recessed portion, and the inner surface of the first recessed portion is a curved surface.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the first recessed portion 101 can be flared, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first recessed portion 101 in a direction parallel to the epitaxial substrate 1 gradually increases from the bottom to the top of the first recessed portion 101. The number of the first recessed portions 101 can be one, two, three, or more. Taking the example of a plurality of first recessed portions 101, the plurality of recessed portions can be located on the same surface of the epitaxial substrate 1, and the plurality of first recessed portions 101 can be spaced apart. In this embodiment, the epitaxial substrate 1 can include a substrate 102, and the first recessed portion 101 can be formed in the substrate 102. The substrate 102 can be a silicon substrate, or of course, a silicon carbide substrate, but is not limited thereto, and can also be a sapphire substrate.

[0052] In step S110 , a light emitting structure layer is epitaxially grown on the epitaxial substrate. The light emitting structure layer includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The second surface is convex toward the first recessed portion.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the light-emitting structure layer 2 can be grown on the side of the substrate 102 having the recess. The light-emitting structure layer 2 includes an active layer 20. The active layer 20 may include, from top to bottom, a first conductivity-type semiconductor layer 201, a light-emitting layer 202, and a second conductivity-type semiconductor layer 203. For example, epitaxially growing the light-emitting structure layer 2 on the epitaxial substrate 1 may include sequentially epitaxially growing the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer 203, the light-emitting layer 202, and the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer 201 on the epitaxial substrate 1. The light-emitting layer 202 may have at least one of a single quantum well structure, a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure, a quantum wire structure, and a quantum dot structure. For example, if the light-emitting layer 202 is a multiple quantum well structure, the light-emitting layer 202 includes alternating well layers and barrier layers. The first conductivity type is different from the second conductivity type. The first conductivity-type semiconductor layer 201 may be a P-type semiconductor layer, and the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer 203 may be an N-type semiconductor layer, but this is not specifically limited in this disclosure. The first surface 204 of the light-emitting structure layer 2 can be the surface of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 201 facing away from the light-emitting layer 202. The second surface 205 of the light-emitting structure layer 2 can be the surface of the second conductive type semiconductor layer 203 facing away from the light-emitting layer 202, and the second surface 205 is aligned with the inner surface of the first recessed portion 101. Because the inner surface of the first recessed portion 101 is curved, the second surface 205 is convex toward the first recessed portion 101. In other words, the portion of the second surface 205 aligned with the first recessed portion 101 is also curved. In addition, the light-emitting structure layer 2 may further include sidewalls connecting the first surface 204 and the second surface 205.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the materials of the potential well layer, barrier layer, first conductivity type semiconductor layer 201, and second conductivity type semiconductor layer 203 can all be Group III-V semiconductor materials, but this is not particularly limited in the present disclosure. For example, the material of the potential well layer is InGaN, the material of the barrier layer is GaN, the material of the first conductivity type semiconductor layer 201 is GaN, and the material of the second conductivity type semiconductor layer 203 is GaN.

[0055] Step S120 , forming a first reflector layer on the first surface.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the first reflector layer 3 can be formed in the region of the first surface 204 corresponding to the first recess 101. Specifically, the first reflector layer 3 can be formed in the region of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 201 corresponding to the first recess 101. The boundary of the opening of the first recess 101 can surround the first reflector layer 3, that is, the area of ​​the first reflector layer 3 is smaller than the opening area of ​​the first recess 101. The first reflector layer 3 can be formed by evaporation coating, or alternatively, by sputtering coating, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The reflectivity of the first reflector layer 3 can be 99%-100%, but this is not particularly limited in the present disclosure. The number of first reflector layers 3 can be one, two, four, or more. For example, in the case where both the first recess 101 and the first reflector layer 3 are multiple, the multiple first reflector layers 3 correspond one-to-one to the multiple first recesses 101.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the first reflector layer 3 is a Bragg reflector (DBR). The material of the Bragg reflector is a multi-periodic material selected from the group consisting of TiO2 / SiO2, Ti3O5 / SiO2, Ta2O5 / SiO2, Ti3O5 / Al2O3, ZrO2 / SiO2, or TiO2 / Al2O3, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Furthermore, taking the first reflector layer 3 as an example of a Bragg reflector, before forming the first reflector layer 3, this embodiment may further include: forming an ITO layer 4 on the first surface 204. The first reflector layer 3 may be formed on the ITO layer 4. The ITO layer 4 is an indium tin oxide layer.

[0058] In step S130 , the epitaxial substrate is removed to form a second reflective mirror layer covering the second surface.

[0059] like Figure 3As shown, before removing the epitaxial substrate 1, the disclosed embodiment may further include forming a support layer 5 that covers the first reflector layer 3. Specifically, the support layer 5 contacts the ITO layer 4, and the first reflector layer 3 is coated between the support layer 5 and the ITO layer 4. The support layer 5 may include a heavily doped silicon substrate 501 and a metal bonding layer 502. The epitaxial substrate 1 can be removed by a laser lift-off process.

[0060] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, taking the number of the first reflector layer 3 as an example, after removing the epitaxial substrate 1 and before forming the second reflector layer 8, the embodiment of the present disclosure may include: patterning the light emitting structure layer 2 to form an isolation trench 7, the light emitting structure layer 2 is divided into multiple parts by the isolation trench 7, each part of the light emitting structure layer 2 is provided with a first reflector layer 3, and the depth of the isolation trench 7 can be less than or equal to the thickness of the light emitting structure layer 2. Figure 4 As shown, when the depth of the isolation groove 7 is equal to the thickness of the light emitting structure layer 2, the above-mentioned ITO layer 4 is exposed through the isolation groove 7; Figure 5 As shown, when the depth of the isolation trench 7 is less than the thickness of the light emitting structure layer 2, the first conductive type layer is exposed through the isolation trench 7. Figure 6 As shown, the second reflector layer 8 can cover the second surface 205 of the light-emitting structure layer 2. Furthermore, while the second reflector layer 8 covers the second surface 205 of the light-emitting structure layer 2, the second reflector layer 8 can also cover the sidewalls of the light-emitting structure layer 2. The second reflector layer 8 can cover the entire sidewalls of the light-emitting structure layer 2, or, of course, it can also cover a portion of the sidewalls of the light-emitting structure layer 2, which is not specifically limited in this disclosure. The second reflector layer 8 can be a Bragg reflector. The reflectivity of the second reflector layer 8 can be greater than the reflectivity of the first reflector layer 3, or, of course, it can be less than the reflectivity of the first reflector layer 3. For example, the reflectivity of the second reflector layer 8 can be 50%-80%. In addition, the second reflector layer 8 can be made of an insulating material. Based on this, taking the example of the second reflector layer 8 covering the sidewalls of the light-emitting structure layer 2, the insulating second reflector layer 8 can serve as a protective layer for the light-emitting diode, protecting the top and sidewalls of the light-emitting diode, reducing the steps in manufacturing the insulating protective layer and saving costs.

[0061] The first embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a light-emitting device, which is manufactured by the above-mentioned method for manufacturing a light-emitting device and thus has the same beneficial effects, which will not be described in detail in the present disclosure.

The first recess 101 is formed in the substrate 102, and the nucleation layer 103 is conformally formed on the substrate 102. The nucleation layer 103 is conformally formed on the substrate 102, that is, the area of ​​the nucleation layer 103 corresponding to the first recess 101 protrudes toward the first recess 101, forming a recessed structure on the side of the nucleation layer 103 facing away from the substrate 102. The light-emitting structure layer 2 is grown on the side of the nucleation layer 103 facing away from the substrate 102.
