Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an integrated device and a method for manufacturing the same, and specifically to a hybrid drive integrated device for Micro-LED display and a method for manufacturing the same. Background Art

[0002] With the development of display technology, Micro-LED has become the most promising next-generation display technology after LCD and OLED due to its unique advantages such as high brightness, high contrast, small size, low power consumption and long life. In display applications, in order to achieve large-area, high-resolution dynamic display, active drive is often used to control a single display pixel. However, since Micro-LED needs to grow at high temperature on a specific substrate, Micro-LED pixels and display drive circuits are discrete devices, and metal bonding is required to achieve the integration of Micro-LED pixels and drive circuits. Transistors commonly used to prepare display drivers mainly include amorphous silicon transistors, oxide thin film transistors, LTPS, etc. However, due to the limited material mobility, the Micro-LED pixel driver tube in the display circuit often needs to occupy a large area to achieve high-brightness light emission of Micro-LED, which is difficult to tolerate in ultra-high-resolution Micro-LED display applications. Using CMOS circuits as display drivers for Micro-LEDs is one of the methods currently proposed by the industry to reduce the area of ​​driver circuits and thereby improve the resolution of Micro-LED displays. It has become a driving solution for new display applications such as virtual reality and augmented reality. However, CMOS drivers still have the problem of limited display area and cannot be used in transparent display, flexible display and other fields.

[0003] Therefore, a more optimized display driving solution is needed, which can effectively reduce the driving area while being compatible with various display application scenarios and existing product lines. Micro-LED display with high driving performance can be achieved by integrating HEMT and Micro-LED. Patent CN118335766A realizes the integration of HEMT and Micro-LED devices by flip-chip bonding. This method has high requirements for bonding accuracy and yield and is difficult to process. Another method is to achieve homogeneous integration of Micro-LED and HEMT by epitaxial integration (CN116314185 A). This method can only obtain depletion-type HEMT and Micro-LED integrated devices, with high energy consumption and poor circuit safety. Summary of the invention

[0028] 2. Combining HEMT / Micro-LED integrated devices with traditional display driver transistors, the high mobility advantage of the two-dimensional electron gas in HEMT is fully utilized, which greatly reduces the area of ​​the Micro-LED driver tube. At the same time, HEMT and Micro-LED based on the same material system can be monolithically integrated on the same substrate. The monolithic integrated device is compatible with the existing process line of Micro-LED display, which can effectively control the cost of industrial application;

[0029] 3. The hybrid integration solution of the present invention can achieve a larger display area and can meet the application scenarios of transparent display and flexible display. It has broad application prospects in new high-resolution and high-brightness displays. The display resolution can cover 100ppi~10000ppi. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
