Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor packaging, and more specifically to a high-density Micro-LED display bonding method with adjustable resolution and no alignment required. Background Technology

[0002] Micro-LED, or micro-light-emitting diode, refers to a high-density array of tiny LEDs integrated on a single chip. Compared to previous display products, Micro-LED has a simpler structure and does not use organic light-emitting materials, significantly reducing the requirements for polarization and encapsulation layers. This allows for thinner display panels, combining almost all the advantages of LCD and OLED while eliminating some of their disadvantages. Micro-LED features high efficiency, high brightness, and high reliability, and is self-emissive. It also boasts advantages such as energy saving, small size, low on-resistance, and good current uniformity. Furthermore, it offers rich and vibrant colors and a wide dynamic range. Its miniaturization and matrix-like characteristics make Micro-LED more suitable for flexible display technologies. Its thinner and more refined structure better aligns with future development trends.

[0003] Micro-LEDs boast superior performance, but currently face numerous challenges, including mass transfer, full-color display, and packaging technology. Packaging is a crucial step in connecting high-density Micro-LED chips to the driving substrate. Packaging technology involves connecting each individual Micro-LED pixel to the corresponding pads in the active matrix. Currently, there are four main types of Micro-LED packaging processes: wire bonding, microtube bonding, anisotropic conductive film (ACF) bonding, and flip-chip bonding. As Micro-LED sizes decrease and pixel densities increase, the difficulty of wire bonding and microtube bonding increases dramatically. Anisotropic conductive film bonding refers to the formation of a stable and reliable interconnect between the chip and the substrate under thermal pressure, exhibiting lateral insulation and longitudinal conductivity. However, ACF interconnects are prone to short circuits due to uneven distribution of conductive particles, and many process issues remain to be resolved. Furthermore, the etching process in this technology can easily corrode the sidewalls of the fabricated metal bumps. Flip-chip bonding technology remains the mainstream technology for the development and application of Micro-LED packaging. Flip-chip bonding technology, based on traditional processes, involves packaging and interconnecting the active surface of the chip with the substrate facing downwards. Therefore, designing small-sized, high-density metal bump structures on Micro-LED chips is a current research hotspot. However, as Micro-LED chip sizes continue to shrink, the difficulty of one-to-one bonding of metal bumps in flip-chip bonding technology is constantly increasing. Flip-chip bonding typically uses a CMOS driving backplane, employing semiconductor chip fabrication processes, achieving pixel pitches below 1 micrometer. However, it is still difficult to achieve such small-sized, high-density pixels and metal bump fabrication on corresponding Micro-LED chips. Thin-film bonding methods hold promise for achieving small-sized, high-density Micro-LED pixels and bonding; however, during subsequent pixel etching, metal etching can easily contaminate the Micro-LED sidewalls, leading to a degradation in Micro-LED performance. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The following detailed description of a typical embodiment of a high-density Micro-LED display bonding method with adjustable resolution and no alignment required according to the present invention provides a further specific description of the invention. It is necessary to point out that the following embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-essential improvements and adjustments made to the present invention by those skilled in the art based on the above description still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1-11As shown, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a high-density Micro-LED display bonding method with adjustable resolution and no alignment required is provided, comprising:

[0044] Step S1: A first metal array containing first metal bumps 102 is fabricated on each driving pixel of the CMOS driving backplane 101, and a second metal array containing second metal bumps 106 is fabricated on the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103; wherein, the particle size of the second metal bump array 106 is smaller than the particle size of the first metal bump 102 and the distribution density of the second metal bump array 106 is greater than the distribution density of the first metal bump 102.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that a highly uniform metal thin film can be prepared on the surface of the CMOS driving backplane 101 and the surface of the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103 by vapor deposition, and then etching can be performed to obtain the corresponding first metal array and second metal array; alternatively, photoresist can be set first, and then the first metal array and second metal array can be vapor deposited.

[0046] Typically, the first metal array of a CMOS chip has a spacing of 8µm, a diameter of 4.5µm, and a height of 5µm, while the second metal array on a Micro-LED chip has a spacing of 600nm, a diameter of 300nm, and a height of 2µm.

[0047] Step S2: Based on the non-alignment method, the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103 with the second metal array is bonded to the CMOS driving backplane 101 with the first metal array; wherein, the first metal bump 102 on each driving pixel of the CMOS driving backplane 101 corresponds to N second metal bumps 106 on the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0048] The bonding process is divided into three stages: first, pre-bonding, with a pressure of 15 MPa and heating to 200°C for 10 min in a formic acid environment; second, final bonding, with the temperature continuing to rise to 260°C and held for 5 min; third, annealing, with annealing at 200°C for 20 min; and finally, slow cooling to room temperature to reduce stress.

[0049] Step S3: After bonding, the substrate 105 of the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103 is peeled off to expose the Micro-LED display layer;

[0050] Step S4: According to the required resolution, perform photolithography etching on the stripped Micro-LED display layer and divide it into Micro-LED display pixel units; the Micro-LED display pixel units correspond to the M driving units in the corresponding area of ​​the CMOS driving backplane 101, and form a Micro-LED display array with the corresponding resolution.

[0051] In step S1 of this embodiment, a layer of LOR photoresist is first spin-coated onto the CMOS driving backplane 101 and the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103, followed by a layer of high-precision positive resist. After one exposure and development, a high-precision photomask layer 104 with an undercut structure is formed. In the photomask layer 104 on the CMOS driving backplane 101, the aperture diameter of the via array is approximately 4.5 μm, and the via pitch is 8 μm. In the photomask layer 104 on the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103, the aperture diameter of the via array is approximately 500 nm, and the via pitch is 1 μm. Specifically, the following methods are included:

[0052] Method 1: Since LOR photoresist has different properties from conventional positive photoresist, LOR photoresist does not denature during exposure and only dissolves in the developer. Therefore, after one exposure and development, the developer flows through the pre-formed positive photoresist aperture array on the upper layer to the lower LOR photoresist. The size of the photoresist undercut structure can be controlled by controlling the development time.

[0053] Method 2: Since the dissolution rate of LOR photoresist varies in different directions in the developer, the following two methods can be used to achieve complete longitudinal development of the lower layer of LOR photoresist and appropriate transverse undercut structure: increase the spin coating speed or dilute the photoresist.

[0054] Preferably, in step S1, the fabrication process for the first metal bump 102 and / or the second metal bump 106 employs a double-layer photoresist and a single-exposure photomask layer 104, and the photomask layer 104 has an undercut structure; step S1 includes:

[0055] S11. Clean and dry the CMOS driving backplane 101 and / or the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103.

[0056] S12. First, spin coat a layer of LOR photoresist onto the CMOS driving backplane 101 or the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103, then spin coat a layer of high-precision positive photoresist, and after one exposure and development, form the high-precision photomask layer 104 with an undercut structure.

[0057] S13. A highly uniform metal thin film is prepared on the surface of the CMOS driving backplane 101 and / or the surface of the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103.

[0058] Optionally, a highly uniform metal film is prepared on the surface of the CMOS driving backplane 101 and the surface of the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103 by vapor deposition process. The thickness of the metal film on the surface of the CMOS driving backplane 101 is 5 μm, and the thickness of the metal film on the surface of the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103 is 2 μm.

[0059] S14. Place the CMOS driving backplane 101 and / or the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103 in a stripping solution to remove the photolithography mask layer 104, forming the first metal array or the second metal array.

[0060] It is worth mentioning that a layer of LOR photoresist is first spin-coated onto the substrate, followed by a layer of high-precision positive photoresist, then an exposure is performed, and finally development is carried out. Since the properties of LOR photoresist are different from those of conventional positive photoresist, LOR photoresist does not undergo denaturation during exposure and only dissolves in the developer. Therefore, after the first exposure and development, the developer flows into the lower LOR photoresist through the pre-formed positive photoresist aperture array. The size of the photoresist undercut structure can be controlled by controlling the development time.

[0061] In step S3 of this embodiment, based on the pixel size of the CMOS driving backplane 101, when the first metal bump 102 on the CMOS driving backplane 101 is not aligned and bonded, the second metal bump 106 on the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103 has an effective bonded electrical connection point and an ineffective bonded floating point.

[0062] In step S4 of this embodiment, the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103 is etched and divided according to the required resolution. The Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103 corresponding to the driving pixels of each M CMOS driving backplane 101 is etched and divided into a whole, wherein the driving pixels of the M CMOS driving backplane 101 drive one Micro-LED display pixel.

[0063] It is worth mentioning that, in step S1, the preparation methods of the first metal array and / or the second metal array include, but are not limited to, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, electroplating, electroless plating, template assembly, and chemical self-assembly.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that the materials of the first metal bump 102 and / or the second metal bump 106 include, but are not limited to, gold, indium, silver, copper, tin and their alloys.

[0065] In this embodiment, the bonding conditions in step S2 are: bonding temperature of 20℃~300℃, pressure of 1-100 MPa, and bonding time of 10-90 min.

[0071] Preferably, the fabrication process for the first metal bump 102 and / or the second metal bump 106 employs a double-layer photoresist and a single-exposure photomask layer 104, wherein the photomask layer 104 has an undercut structure; the fabrication of the double-layer photoresist and single-exposure photomask layer 104 includes:

[0072] S11. Clean and dry the CMOS driving backplane 101 and / or the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103.

[0073] S12. First, spin coat a layer of LOR photoresist onto the CMOS driving backplane 101 or the Micro-LED epitaxial wafer 103, then spin coat a layer of high-precision positive photoresist, and after one exposure and development, form the high-precision photomask layer 104 with an undercut structure.
