[0002] Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) refers to the phenomenon that when two objects with different charges come into contact or close to each other, the charge is instantly transferred. ESD may damage electronic equipment and components, so anti-static measures need to be taken during the electronic manufacturing and assembly process to prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge.

[0003] For LED products, their anti-ESD capability cannot be ignored. LED products may be affected by electrostatic discharge during production, transportation and use, resulting in product damage, performance degradation or even failure. Therefore, LED products with good ESD protection capabilities are more popular in the market.

The antistatic ability (HBM) of large-size LEDs is generally required to reach 5kV, and some high-performance LEDs may reach a higher level to meet the needs of different application scenarios. However, the epitaxial structure of existing LED devices does not have an antistatic structure, so it is easily affected by electrostatic discharge, thereby reducing the electrical performance of LED devices and reducing the reliability and life of the devices.

[0082] The present invention also provides a method for preparing an antistatic LED device, comprising the following steps: providing a substrate layer; forming an epitaxial layer: sequentially forming a first semiconductor layer, a first stress release layer, a second stress release layer, an active layer and a second semiconductor layer on the surface of the substrate layer; forming an electrode layer, and forming the electrode layer on the second semiconductor layer; further comprising: after forming the first stress release layer and before forming the second stress release layer, forming a first antistatic layer on the surface of the first stress release layer facing away from the first semiconductor layer; and forming the second stress release layer on the surface of the first antistatic layer facing away from the first stress release layer.

[0083] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0084] Example 1

[0085] refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides an antistatic LED device, comprising:

[0086] Substrate layer 1;

[0087] A first semiconductor layer 2, located on one side of the substrate layer 1;

[0088] A first stress release layer 3, located on a surface of the first semiconductor layer 2 facing away from the substrate layer 1;

[0089] A second stress release layer 4, located on a side of the first stress release layer 3 facing away from the first semiconductor layer 2;

[0090] An active layer 6 is located on a surface of the second stress release layer 4 facing away from the first stress release layer 3;

[0091] A second semiconductor layer 7, located on a surface of the active layer 6 facing away from the second stress release layer 4;

[0092] an electrode layer 8, located on a surface of the second semiconductor layer 7 facing away from the active layer 6;

[0093] It also includes: a first antistatic layer 5, located between the first stress release layer 3 and the second stress release layer 4, and the first antistatic layer 5 is an n-type doped GaN layer;

[0094] Among them, the first semiconductor layer 2 and the second semiconductor layer 7 are semiconductor layers with opposite conductivity types; the silicon doping concentration of the first antistatic layer 5 is different from the silicon doping concentration of the first stress release layer 3, and the silicon doping concentration of the first antistatic layer 5 is different from the silicon doping concentration of the second stress release layer 4.

[0095] The present invention verifies the improvement effect of inserting the first antistatic layer 5 between the first stress release layer 3 and the second stress release layer 4 on the antistatic ability of the LED through experimental design. Two groups of LED samples are made, one group is a traditional structure, and the other group is an improved structure in which the first antistatic layer 5 is inserted between the first stress release layer 3 and the second stress release layer 4 (refer to the above Figure 1 ). The two groups of samples were subjected to chip process flow and standard HBM test to compare their ESD tolerance. If the chip cannot withstand the ESD voltage level, it will be broken down and leakage will occur. The ESD protection level and yield rate are evaluated accordingly. In the specific experiment, thousands of chips will be made on the epitaxial wafer, and 150 chips will be sampled for testing. The ESD protection limit value will be tested one by one. The structure of the entire epitaxial wafer is consistent. After statistics, the approximate ESD protection capability of this epitaxial wafer can be known. The experimental results are as follows Figure 2a-2b shown.

[0096] Figure 2a The test results for the traditional structure are as follows: Figure 2b 4K means that the chip is tested under an ESD voltage of 4000V, and then the chip is tested for leakage. If there is no leakage, it means that the chip can resist ESD to 4K level, and then gradually test the ESD resistance limit value to a larger ESD voltage.

[0097] It can be seen that compared with the traditional structure, the ESD HBM level of the structure of the present invention is improved from less than 4K to 8K, and the ESD HBM level of the entire epitaxial wafer is significantly improved, proving that the technical solution of the present invention can effectively improve the anti-static ability of the LED.

[0098] The present invention can effectively improve the electrical performance and anti-static (ESD) capability of the LED by inserting the first antistatic layer 5 (n-type doped GaN layer) between the first stress release layer 3 and the second stress release layer 4. On the one hand, since the n-type doped GaN layer has a higher electrical conductivity, the transmission efficiency of electrons in the first stress release layer and the second stress release layer can be improved, thereby reducing static electricity accumulation and improving the anti-static capability of the LED. On the other hand, the inserted n-type doped GaN layer can make the charge more evenly distributed in the first stress release layer 3 and the second stress release layer 4, reduce local charge accumulation, reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge, improve the electrical performance of the LED, and improve the reliability and life of the device.

[0099] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the doping concentration of the first antistatic layer 5 is 2E17 / cm 3 ~1E19 / cm 3 ; The thickness of the first antistatic layer 5 is 2nm to 30nm.

[0100] The silicon doping concentration of the first antistatic layer 5 is controlled at 2E17 / cm 3 ~1E19 / cm 3 When the antistatic ability of the device is effectively improved, if it is lower than 2E17 / cm 3 If it is higher than 1E19 / cm, there is no obvious silicon doping, which can not improve the antistatic ability. 3 , it will affect the luminous efficiency of the device.

[0101] When the thickness of the first antistatic layer 5 is 2nm to 30nm, the transmission efficiency of electrons in the first stress release layer 3 and the second stress release layer 4 can be effectively improved, so that the charges are distributed more evenly in the first stress release layer 3 and the second stress release layer 4, local charge accumulation is reduced, the risk of electrostatic discharge is reduced, and the electrical performance of the LED is improved. If the thickness of the first antistatic layer 5 is less than 2nm, its conductive effect is weak and it cannot effectively disperse or absorb the charges of electrostatic discharge; if the thickness of the first antistatic layer 5 is greater than 30nm, it may increase the overall resistance and thickness of the LED, affect the electrical performance of the LED, and increase the difficulty of the process.

[0102] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the first stress release layer 3 is a superlattice layer composed of a first sub-stress release layer 31 and a second sub-stress release layer 32 alternately stacked in pairs; the first sub-stress release layer 31 is In x Ga (1-X) N layer, the second stress release sub-layer 32 is a GaN layer, an AlGaN layer or an n-GaN layer;

[0103] like Figure 4 As shown, the second stress release layer 4 is a superlattice layer composed of a third sub-stress release layer 41 and a fourth sub-stress release layer 42 alternately stacked in pairs; the third sub-stress release layer 41 is In x Ga (1-X) N layer, the fourth stress release sub-layer 42 is a GaN layer, an AlGaN layer or an n-GaN layer;

[0104] The In content of the second stress release layer 4 is greater than the In content of the first stress release layer 3; the thickness of the second sub-stress release layer 32 is greater than the thickness of the fourth sub-stress release layer 42; the number of sub-stress release layers stacked in pairs in the second stress release layer 4 is greater than the number of sub-stress release layers stacked in pairs in the first stress release layer 3;

[0105] Further, in this embodiment, the number of pairs of the first sub-stress release layers 31 and the second sub-stress release layers 32 alternately stacked in pairs is 1 pair to 20 pairs;

[0106] The number of pairs of the third stress release sub-layers 41 and the fourth stress release sub-layers 42 alternately stacked in pairs is 2 to 40 pairs;

[0107] The thickness of the first stress release layer 3 is 2 nm to 1000 nm, and the thickness of the second stress release layer 4 is 4 nm to 2000 nm.

[0108] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the present invention controls the silicon doping concentration of the first antistatic layer 5 by taking into account the high and low combinations of different silicon doping concentrations in the first stress release layer 3 and the second stress release layer 4, so as to improve the antistatic ability of the LED.

[0109] In one embodiment, Figure 5a As shown, the silicon doping concentration of the first stress release sub-layer 31, the silicon doping concentration of the second stress release sub-layer 32, the silicon doping concentration of the third stress release sub-layer 41 and the silicon doping concentration of the fourth stress release sub-layer 42 are the same;

[0110] The silicon doping concentration of the first antistatic layer 5 is greater than the silicon doping concentration of the first stress release layer 3; and greater than the silicon doping concentration of the second stress release layer 4;

[0111] By inserting the first antistatic layer 5 (n-type doped GaN layer) into the first stress release layer 3 and the second stress release layer 4, and controlling the silicon doping concentration of the first antistatic layer 5 to form a doping concentration difference with the stress release layers on both sides, the electron transmission efficiency can be improved, the anti-static discharge capability of the LED can be significantly improved, and the risk of damage caused by static electricity can be reduced.

[0112] In another embodiment, Figure 5b As shown, the silicon doping concentration of the first stress release sub-layer 31, the silicon doping concentration of the second stress release sub-layer 32, the silicon doping concentration of the third stress release sub-layer 41 and the silicon doping concentration of the fourth stress release sub-layer 42 are the same;

[0113] The silicon doping concentration of the first antistatic layer 5 is less than the silicon doping concentration of the first stress release layer 3, and less than the silicon doping concentration of the second stress release layer 4;

[0142] When the thickness of the third antistatic layer 63 is 2nm to 30nm, the transmission efficiency of electrons in the first multi-quantum well layer 61 and the second multi-quantum well layer 62 can be effectively improved, so that the charges are distributed more evenly in the first multi-quantum well layer 61 and the second multi-quantum well layer 62, local charge accumulation is reduced, the risk of electrostatic discharge is reduced, and the electrical performance of the LED is improved. If the thickness of the third antistatic layer 63 is less than 2nm, its conductive effect is weak and it cannot effectively disperse or absorb the charge of electrostatic discharge; if the thickness of the first antistatic layer 63 is greater than 30nm, the overall resistance and thickness of the LED may be increased, affecting the electrical performance of the LED and increasing the process difficulty.

[0143] This embodiment can optimize the energy band structure of the first multi-quantum well layer 61 and the second multi-quantum well layer 62 by inserting the third antistatic layer 63 (n-type doped GaN layer) between the first multi-quantum well layer 61 and the second multi-quantum well layer 62, and improve the overall electrical performance and electrostatic tolerance of the LED device. At the same time, the n-type doped GaN layer can improve the transmission efficiency of electrons in the first multi-quantum well layer 61 and the second multi-quantum well layer 62, make the charge distribution of the first multi-quantum well layer 61 and the second multi-quantum well layer 62 more uniform, reduce local charge and static electricity accumulation, reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge, and improve the antistatic performance of the LED.
