[0045] Embodiment One
[0046] A patterned substrate structure, such as Figure 3As shown, the substrate layer 10 includes a base 11 and an over-etching portion 12 from bottom to top, and a plurality of optical film structures 21 are uniformly distributed on the substrate layer 10, and the optical film structures 21 are arranged on the upper surface of the over-etching portion 12;
[0047] The side surface of the optical film structure 21 is a first arc surface composed of a plurality of identical first convex arc lines 211, the plurality of first convex arc lines 211 extend from the lower surface edge of the optical film structure 21 and intersect at the vertex of the optical film structure 21, and the refractive index of the optical film structure 21 is less than the refractive index of the substrate layer 10.
[0048] The first convex arc line 211 extends to the upper surface of the base 11 to form a second convex arc line 212, and the curvature radius of the first arc line 211 is the same as that of the second arc line 212. The maximum vertical distance of the line segment between the top and bottom endpoints of the second convex arc line 212 to the second convex arc line is the arc edge distance, which reflects the convexity of the side wall of the pattern. The ratio of the arc edge distance of the second convex arc line 212 to the length of the line segment connected to the endpoints of the second convex arc line 212 should be in the range of 0.04 to 0.12. Within this range, the light extraction efficiency is the highest. If the ratio is too low, such as less than 0.04, the volume of the low-refraction region is too small, and the side wall of the low-refraction region is too flat, which is not conducive to total reflection of light at the pattern structure and will be absorbed by the substrate, resulting in a decrease in brightness and affecting the light extraction efficiency. If the ratio is too high, the arc edge distance is too large, and the side wall of the low-refraction region is too convex, tending to be hemispherical, which causes the angle of light reflection to be large, and the light is easily trapped in the epitaxial structure and the substrate, which is not conducive to subsequent transmission to the air, greatly affecting the light extraction efficiency.
[0049] Specifically, the optical film structure 21 can be a pattern similar to a shell with a wide lower part and a narrow top part, the top size is 0 μm, and the bottom size is 0.5 μm-6 μm. The substrate layer 10 below the optical film structure 21 can be a flat surface or a circular truncated cone structure with a large bottom surface and a small top surface, the top size of the circular truncated cone is 0.5 μm-6 μm, and the bottom size is 0.8 μm-10 μm. The patterned substrate structure has an array of regular composite patterns.
[0050] The side wall of the optical film structure 21 is an arc-shaped side wall. Compared with a flat side wall, the arc-shaped side wall can reflect more angles of incident light, so it is more conducive to total reflection of light. At the same time, the arc-shaped side wall can extend the area of the optical film structure 21 to some extent, increase the effective area of the low-refraction region, and make the total reflection area of light larger, which is more conducive to total reflection of light.
[0051] The substrate 10 uses a high-refractive-index material, preferably sapphire; the optical thin film structure 21 uses a low-refractive-index material, which can be one or more of SiO2, Si3N4, ZnO2, Si, SiC, GaAs, Ti3O5, and TiO2, preferably SiO2. The use of a low-refractive-index heterogeneous material in the upper optical thin film structure 21 facilitates light reflection, reduces epitaxial defects, and improves the brightness of the LED chip.
[0052] Preferably, the thickness of the optical thin film 20 is between 0.7 μm and 2.5 μm. Within this range, the pattern can provide a sufficient area of low-refractive-index region without being too thick, resulting in a relatively stable substrate structure and high reliability. The optical thin film structure 21 can be a single layer or multiple layers.
[0053] In specific implementation, the optical thin film structure 21 can be a single-layer structure made of one of the following materials: SiO2, Si3N4, ZnO2, Si, SiC, GaAs, Ti3O5, and TiO2, or it can be a composite material graphic structure made of a combination of the above materials.
[0054] In one embodiment, the substrate layer 10 includes a base 11 and an over-etched portion 12. The side of the over-etched portion 12 is a second arc-shaped surface composed of several identical third convex arc lines 121. The curvature radius of the third convex arc lines 121 is inconsistent with that of the first convex arc lines 211. The upper surface of the over-etched portion 12 matches the lower surface of the optical thin film structure 21.
[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the first convex arc 211 extends to the upper surface of the base 11 to form a second convex arc 212. The second convex arc 212 has the same radius of curvature as the first convex arc 211. The ratio of the arc edge distance of the second convex arc 212 to the length of the line segment connecting the endpoint of the second convex arc 212 ranges from 0.04 to 0.12. Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, EF represents the arc edge distance, which is the maximum perpendicular distance between the line segment BD connecting the endpoints of the second convex arc 212 and the second convex arc. With the lower surface diameter AB of the optical thin film structure extending to the base and the line segment CD from the base to the vertex of the optical thin film structure remaining unchanged, the arc edge distance in this embodiment can specifically be 0.1 μm < EF < 0.3 μm.
[0056] Preferably, in this embodiment, the specific value of the arc edge distance can also be 0.15μm < EF < 0.2μm.
[0057] The specific fitting derivation process is as follows: Figure 5As shown, after obtaining the side profile of the PSS through AFM, the arc radius OF of the side profile of the optical thin film structure 21 is obtained by arc fitting. Here, arc DG is the first convex arc 211, line segment AB is the diameter of the lower surface of the optical thin film structure extending to the base, arc DB is the second convex arc 212, line segment DB is the line segment connecting the endpoints of the second convex arc 212, arc radius OF⊥line segment DB, the intersection point is E, and the arc edge distance is equal to the length EF. Therefore:
[0058] EF = OF - OE
[0059] OE² = OB² - EB² (in right triangle OEB)
[0060] OB=OF
[0061] EB=1 / 2DB
[0062] DB² = CD² + CB² (in right triangle DCB)
[0063] CB = 1 / 2AB
[0064] but
[0065] The ratio of the arc edge distance of the second convex arc 212 to the length of the line segment connecting the endpoint of the second convex arc 212 ranges from 0.04 to 0.12; in this embodiment, the specific range of the arc edge moment is 0.1μm < EF < 0.3μm.
[0066] Specifically, if the arc edge distance is too small, the sidewalls will be relatively flat, which is not conducive to total internal reflection of light at the pattern structure. At the same time, the effective area of the low-refractive region is small, resulting in a correspondingly lower light extraction efficiency. The larger the arc edge distance, the larger the volume of the low-refractive region in the heterogeneous material pattern. More light rays enter the low-refractive-index material from the high-refractive-index material. Compared to light entering the air directly from the high-refractive-index region, this design can further increase the probability of total internal reflection and improve the light extraction efficiency. If the arc edge distance is too large, the top of the pattern will not be pointed, and the pattern will be close to a hemisphere. This will change the light path of the light rays hitting the top of the pattern. The light will not easily penetrate into the external air, but will be reflected back to the epitaxial layer and the interior of the substrate, reducing the light extraction efficiency. Therefore, in this embodiment, 0.1μm < EF < 0.3μm is set, which can ensure the light extraction efficiency and also ensure that the top shape of the optical thin film structure 21 does not change too much.
[0067] Better, such as Figure 6 As shown, the line segment connecting the endpoints of the first convex arc 211 forms a first angle with the lower surface of the optical thin film 20 layer; the line segment connecting the endpoints of the third convex arc 121 forms a second angle with the lower surface of the etched portion 12, and the second angle is smaller than the first angle.
[0068] Specifically, if the etched portion 12 has the same curvature as the sidewall of the optical thin film structure 21, then the sidewall has only one angle, and can only undergo total internal reflection of light in a single direction; while in this application... Figure 6 As shown, the difference in size between the first angle a1 and the second angle a2 makes the over-etched part 12 and the optical thin film structure 21 have a two-section sidewall structure, which enables it to undergo total internal reflection of light from multiple directions. The probability of total internal reflection of incident light is greater than that of a single angle, which greatly improves the probability of total internal reflection of light.
[0069] Preferably, the difference between the first angle and the second angle is 5° to 20°. Specifically, the greater the difference between the first angle a1 and the second angle a2, the gentler the slope of the etched portion 12 compared to the optical thin film structure 21, making it more suitable for the falling of the optical thin film structure 21 and allowing the optical thin film 20 to grow well during the fabrication process. If the difference in angle is less than 5°, the slope difference between the etched portion 12 and the optical thin film structure 21 is too small to improve the probability of total internal reflection; while when the difference in angle is greater than 20°, it will make the substrate structure unstable, affecting the light extraction effect and reliability.
[0070] Preferably, the thickness of the over-etched portion 12 is 0.1 μm to 0.8 μm. In specific implementations, the epitaxial layer of the LED chip can only be grown on the sapphire substrate 10 and cannot be grown directly on the optical thin film structure 21. Therefore, the over-etched portion 12 is provided. When the thickness of the over-etched portion 12 is less than 0.1 μm, the epitaxial layer cannot grow well; when the thickness of the over-etched portion 12 is greater than 0.8 μm, the proportion of the optical thin film structure 21 will decrease, thus affecting total internal reflection. Therefore, the optimal thickness range for the over-etched portion 12 is 0 μm to 0.8 μm. The diameter of the lower surface of the over-etched portion 12 is 2.5 μm to 3.5 μm.
[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, (a) is a patterned substrate structure with an arc edge distance of 0.113 μm, (b) is a patterned substrate structure with an arc edge distance of 0.116 μm, (c) is a patterned substrate structure with an arc edge distance of 0.168 μm, and (d) is a patterned substrate structure with an arc edge distance of 0.179 μm. The existing substrate structures and... Figure 7 The products manufactured using four different substrate structures with varying arc edge distances were tested for their lamp repair luminance and MAP-VF. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0072] Table 1
[0073]
[0074] As shown in Table 1, the LED lamp package repair brightness of the LED lamp package using the graphic substrate structure of the present application is greater than that of the LED lamp package using the prior art substrate structure; in particular, the higher the LED lamp package repair brightness, the better. The MAP-VF of the LED lamp using the (c) and (d) arc edge distance graphic substrate structure of the present application is less than that of the LED lamp using the prior art substrate structure; in particular, the lower the MAP-VF, the better the LED lamp brightness.
