These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way, but to illustrate the concepts of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] In order to better illustrate the light-emitting diode chip with a composite current blocking layer provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the role of the current blocking layer in the light-emitting diode chip in the related art is first described.

[0052] In the related art, for upright blue-green LED chips, due to the insulating properties of the sapphire substrate, the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode are both located on the same side of the epitaxial layer. As a result, the current needs to move laterally. Since the conductivity of the Mg-doped P-type GaN layer is much lower than that of the N-type GaN layer, the resistance of the current flowing laterally at the P-type GaN layer is relatively high, resulting in a concentrated area of ​​high current density below or near the P-type electrode, resulting in a current crowding effect, which greatly affects the light emission and heat generation uniformity of the LED chip and the stability and reliability of the far-field emission. In addition, the current crowding effect will also cause the internal quantum efficiency of the LED chip to decrease due to excessive current density in some parts.

[0053] In order to solve the above problems, in the relevant technology, a current blocking layer is set between the P-type electrode and the epitaxial layer, thereby reducing the current density below and near the P-type electrode, alleviating the current crowding effect, and facilitating the diffusion of more current, thereby improving the internal quantum efficiency and light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting diode chip.

[0054] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a light emitting diode chip, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the light emitting diode chip, combined with Figure 1 In this embodiment, the light emitting diode chip includes an epitaxial layer 1 and a composite current blocking layer 2 .

[0055] The composite current blocking layer 2 is located on one side of the epitaxial layer 1 , and the composite current blocking layer 2 includes a first current blocking layer 21 and a second current blocking layer 22 which are stacked in sequence.

[0056] It is worth noting that the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is lower than the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22 , which means that under the same etching conditions, the etching speed of the first current blocking layer 21 is slower than the etching speed of the second current blocking layer 22 .

[0057] The light-emitting diode chip includes an epitaxial layer 1 and a composite current blocking layer 2. The composite current blocking layer 2 is located on one side of the epitaxial layer 1 and can play a role in current blocking, thereby avoiding the current crowding effect, thereby improving the light emission and heat generation uniformity of the light-emitting diode chip, and further improving the internal quantum efficiency and light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting diode chip. In addition, since the composite current blocking layer 2 includes a first current blocking layer 21 and a second current blocking layer 22 stacked in sequence, when etching the channel table, the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 and the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22 are different, thereby increasing the etching angle a of the channel table to 60-80°, and the larger etching angle a of the channel table is conducive to the light being emitted from the epitaxial layer 1, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting diode chip.

[0058] That is to say, by providing the composite current blocking layer 2, the composite current blocking layer 2 not only ensures its own current blocking function, but also increases the etching angle a of the channel terrace, thereby effectively improving the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip.

[0059] In this embodiment, the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is lower than the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22 .

[0060] Exemplarily, the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is 40% to 60% lower than the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22 .

[0061] In the above implementation, the etching rate relationship between the first current blocking layer 21 and the second current blocking layer 22 is designed to be the above ratio, which can ensure that the etching angle a of the channel terrace can be improved on the one hand, and on the other hand, can also ensure the etching efficiency of the composite current blocking layer 2.

[0062] It is worth noting that, assuming that the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is 50% lower than the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22, the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is x, and the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22 is y, then x and y satisfy the following relationship: y=x(1-50%).

[0063] In this embodiment, the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is 50% lower than the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22 .

[0064] In the above implementation, the etching rate relationship between the first current blocking layer 21 and the second current blocking layer 22 is designed to be the above ratio, which can ensure that the etching angle a of the channel terrace can be improved on the one hand, and on the other hand, can also ensure the etching efficiency of the composite current blocking layer 2.

[0065] Of course, in other embodiments, the etching rate relationship value between the first current blocking layer 21 and the second current blocking layer 22 can also be selected as other values ​​within the above numerical range, such as 55%, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first current blocking layer 21 is an Al2O3 film, and the second current blocking layer 22 is a SiO2 film.

[0067] In the above implementation, the first current blocking layer 21 is designed as an Al2O3 film, and the second current blocking layer 22 is designed as a SiO2 film. On the one hand, it can meet the functional effect of current blocking, and on the other hand, it can meet the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21, which is 40% to 60% lower than the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22, thereby facilitating increasing the etching angle a of the channel table.

[0068] In other embodiments, the first current blocking layer 21 and the second current blocking layer 22 may also be other thin film layers, such as any two of the following thin film layers: TiO2 thin film, HfO2 thin film, Ta2O5 thin film, ZrO thin film, AlN thin film, TiN thin film, SiNx thin film, etc. It is only necessary that the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is lower than the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22.

[0069] In this embodiment, the thickness of the first current blocking layer 21 is The thickness of the second current blocking layer 22 is

[0070] In the above implementation, since the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is low, the thickness of the first current blocking layer 21 is designed to be relatively small, which can be beneficial to improving the overall etching efficiency of the composite current blocking layer 2. In addition, the thickness of the first current blocking layer 21 and the second current blocking layer 22 is designed to be the above values, which can ensure the etching time of the channel mesa, so that after the etching of the channel mesa is completed, the etching angle a of the obtained channel mesa can be significantly increased.

[0071] The composite current blocking layer 2 is introduced above, and the other thin film layers of the light emitting diode chip are introduced below.

[0072] See again Figure 1 In this embodiment, the epitaxial layer 1 includes a first semiconductor layer 11, an active layer 12 and a second semiconductor layer 13 stacked in sequence. The first semiconductor layer 11 is of a first conductivity type, and the second semiconductor layer 13 is of a second conductivity type, and the second conductivity type is different from the first conductivity type.

[0073] When the light emitting diode chip is working, electron transition occurs between the first semiconductor layer 11 and the second semiconductor layer 13 , so that the active layer 12 emits light.

[0074] Exemplarily, the first semiconductor layer 11 is an N-type gallium nitride layer, the active layer 12 is a quantum well layer, and the second semiconductor layer 13 is a P-type gallium nitride layer.

[0075] In this embodiment, the light emitting diode chip further includes a substrate 3 , which can provide a basis for the growth of the epitaxial layer 1 .

[0076] Exemplarily, the substrate 3 is a sapphire substrate, a silicon wafer substrate, or other light emitting diode chip substrate materials.

[0077] Of course, in other embodiments, the light emitting diode chip may not have the substrate 3, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0078] In this embodiment, the light emitting diode chip further includes a transparent conductive layer 4 , and the transparent conductive layer 4 covers one side of the epitaxial layer 1 and the current blocking layer.

[0079] The transparent conductive layer 4 is transparent and conductive. When the active layer 12 emits light, the light can pass through the transparent conductive layer 4 smoothly without being absorbed or scattered, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting diode chip and further improving the light emitting brightness of the light emitting diode chip. At the same time, the transparent conductive layer 4 is conductive and can provide current for the epitaxial layer 1.

[0080] Exemplarily, the transparent conductive layer 4 is an indium tin oxide ITO layer, and the transparent conductive layer 4 is formed by sputtering on the epitaxial layer 1 using magnetron sputtering technology. ITO has both optical transparency and high conductivity. When the active layer 12 emits light, the light can pass through the transparent conductive layer 4 smoothly. The high conductivity ensures that the current can be effectively transferred to the active layer 12, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting diode chip.

[0081] In this embodiment, the light emitting diode chip further comprises an insulating layer 5, which is SiO2 and covers the epitaxial layer 1 and the transparent conductive layer 4. The insulating layer 5 is used for insulating protection to avoid unnecessary short circuit between the epitaxial layer 1 and the transparent conductive layer 4.

[0082] In this embodiment, the light emitting diode chip further includes a P-type electrode 6 and an N-type electrode 7 .

[0083] The P-type electrode 6 sequentially penetrates the insulating layer 5 , the transparent conductive layer 4 and the composite current blocking layer 2 to contact the second semiconductor layer 13 , and the N-type electrode 7 penetrates the insulating layer 5 to contact the first semiconductor layer 11 .

[0084] Exemplarily, the material of the P-type electrode 6 and the N-type electrode 7 is one or a combination of metals such as Cr, Al, AlCu, Ti, Ni, Pt, and Au.

[0085] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for preparing a light emitting diode chip provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, for preparing Figure 1 The light emitting diode chip shown in this embodiment is prepared by a method comprising:

[0086] Step 201: Prepare an epitaxial layer 1.

[0087] Step 202 : sequentially preparing a first current blocking layer 21 and a second current blocking layer 22 on one side of the epitaxial layer 1 to prepare a composite current blocking layer 2 , wherein the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is lower than that of the second current blocking layer 22 .

[0088] Step 203: Produce channel patterns through photolithography.

[0089] Step 204: Based on the channel pattern, the composite current blocking layer 2 and the epitaxial layer 1 are etched to obtain a channel terrace, and the etching angle of the channel is 60-80°.

[0090] A composite current blocking layer 2 is prepared on one side of the epitaxial layer 1. The composite current blocking layer 2 can play a role of current blocking, avoiding the current crowding effect, thereby improving the light emission and heat generation uniformity of the light-emitting diode chip, and further improving the internal quantum efficiency and light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting diode chip. In addition, since the composite current blocking layer 2 includes a first current blocking layer 21 and a second current blocking layer 22 stacked in sequence, and the etching rate of the first current blocking layer 21 is different from the etching rate of the second current blocking layer 22, when etching the channel table, the photoresist is used as a soft mask, and the composite current blocking layer 2 is used as a hard-soft film, which will increase the etching angle a of the channel table, and the larger etching angle a of the channel table is conducive to the light being emitted from the epitaxial layer 1, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting diode chip.

[0091] That is to say, by providing the composite current blocking layer 2, the composite current blocking layer 2 not only ensures its own current blocking function, but also increases the etching angle a of the channel terrace, thereby effectively improving the light extraction efficiency of the LED chip.

Energy transition occurs between the first semiconductor layer 11 and the second semiconductor layer 13, and the active layer 12 emits light.
