[0002] Compared with LCD and OLED, micro-LED uses self-luminous mechanism, has great advantages in inherent brightness and device stability, and is a strong competitor for AR technology. However, the electro-optical conversion efficiency of red light Micro-LED based on AlGaInP material decreases significantly when it is small (<10μm), which limits the development of full-color Micro-LED display technology.
[0003] In the process of making red light Micro-LED arrays, due to the high surface recombination velocity and long minority carrier diffusion length of the AlGaInP material system, small-size etching and cutting will lead to serious carrier leakage and cause the quantum efficiency to drop by more than 90% at the expected Micro-LED size; secondly, when integrating the three primary color tube cores in the Micro-LED full-color display, due to the different material systems, the current mainstream blue and green light InGaN-based Micro-LED chips and AlGaInP red light cannot be directly integrated, resulting in a complex circuit structure, a significantly reduced transfer yield, and a large amount of additional costs.

[0031] In one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for preparing a Micro-LED chip. According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 1 to 11 , the method for preparing a Micro-LED chip includes:
[0032] S100 : providing a substrate 10 .
[0033] Among them, the specific type of the substrate can be a sapphire substrate, a silicon substrate, an n-type doped silicon carbide substrate or an n-type doped gallium nitride substrate. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select a suitable substrate type according to the specific structural type of the Micro-LED chip.
[0034] S200: forming a buffer layer 20 on the surface of the substrate 10. The buffer layer may be deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD), and the thickness of the buffer layer is 10-100 nm.
[0035] Among them, those skilled in the art can select a suitable buffer layer structure according to the specific type of substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate 10 is a sapphire substrate, and the buffer layer 20 is an aluminum nitride layer with a thickness of 10 to 100 nm; in other embodiments, the substrate 10 is a silicon substrate, and the buffer layer 20 is an aluminum nitride layer and an aluminum gallium nitride layer, and the aluminum content in the aluminum gallium nitride layer gradually decreases in the direction away from the substrate 10; in other embodiments, the substrate 10 is an n-type doped silicon carbide substrate, and the buffer layer 20 is an aluminum nitride layer and an aluminum gallium nitride layer, and the aluminum content in the aluminum gallium nitride layer gradually decreases in the direction away from the substrate 10; in other embodiments, the substrate 10 is an n-type doped silicon carbide substrate, and the buffer layer 20 is an n-type doped aluminum gallium nitride layer; in some other embodiments, the substrate is an n-type doped gallium nitride substrate, and the n-GaN layer is directly grown.
[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the substrate 10 is an n-type doped silicon carbide substrate and the buffer layer 20 is an n-type doped aluminum gallium nitride layer (vertical structure epitaxial wafer (Epi-Wafer)), and when the substrate is an n-type doped gallium nitride substrate and the buffer layer is an aluminum nitride layer, subsequent pixel columns can be directly formed on the surface of the buffer layer.
[0037] According to other embodiments of the present invention, when the substrate 10 is a sapphire substrate, the buffer layer 20 is an aluminum nitride layer, when the substrate 10 is a silicon substrate, the buffer layer 20 is an aluminum nitride layer and an aluminum gallium nitride layer, and the aluminum content in the aluminum gallium nitride layer gradually decreases in the direction away from the substrate 10, and when the substrate 10 is an n-type doped silicon carbide substrate, the buffer layer 20 is an aluminum nitride layer and an aluminum gallium nitride layer, and the aluminum content in the aluminum gallium nitride layer gradually decreases in the direction away from the substrate 10 (epi-wafer with a horizontal structure), refer to Figure 1, the method for preparing a Micro-LED chip further includes:
[0038] S1: A first non-doped GaN layer 31 is grown on the surface of the buffer layer 10 away from the substrate 10, and the thickness of the first non-doped GaN layer 31 is 0.5-1 μm (e.g., 0.5 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.7 μm, 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, 1.0 μm). Specifically, the first non-doped GaN layer 31 can be epitaxially grown using a MOCVD (Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) device, which is a high-purity chemical vapor deposition technology used to prepare semiconductor materials and devices.
[0039] S2: forming a first inorganic layer 32 on a surface of the first undoped GaN layer 31 away from the substrate 10, wherein the first inorganic layer 32 has a plurality of openings 322 arranged at intervals, and the thickness of the first inorganic layer 32 is 10 to 30 nm (e.g., 10 nm, 12 nm, 15 nm, 18 nm, 20 nm, 23 nm, 25 nm, 28 nm, 30 nm), such as Figure 1 (a) and (b) in the figure. By depositing the first inorganic layer 32, the dislocation density in the first non-doped GaN layer 31 can be reduced. The first inorganic layer 32 can be formed by the following method: using PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) to deposit an inorganic film layer 321, and then etching the inorganic film layer into a first inorganic layer 32 with a strip structure or a mesh structure through processes such as coating photoresist, exposure, development, etching, degumming and cleaning. The size and shape of the openings of the first inorganic layer 32 need to be set according to the size and shape of the pixel. In addition, the first inorganic layer of the above thickness can effectively reduce the dislocation density in the first non-doped GaN layer 31, and will not make the thickness of the first inorganic layer too thick, resulting in a waste of material. The material of the first inorganic layer can be silicon nitride or silicon oxide, etc.
[0040] S3: growing a second non-doped GaN layer 33 on the surface of the first non-doped GaN layer 31 not covered by the first inorganic layer 32, and the second non-doped GaN layer 33 covers the surface of the first inorganic layer 32, such as Figure 1In (c), the thickness of the second non-doped GaN layer 33 is 0.5 to 1 μm (e.g., 0.5 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.7 μm, 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, 1.0 μm). Specifically, the second non-doped GaN layer 33 can be grown epitaxially using MOCVD equipment. Since non-doped GaN material cannot grow directly on the surface of the inorganic layer, the surface of the first non-doped GaN layer 31 exposed by the first inorganic layer continues to nucleate, and non-doped GaN is gradually grown epitaxially laterally after the thickness exceeds 10 to 30 nm. At this time, the first inorganic layer 32 can act as a good mask to prevent further extension of dislocations.
[0041] S4: Repeat steps S2 and S3 at least once until the total thickness of the undoped GaN layer (including the first undoped GaN layer 31, the second undoped GaN layer 33, and the second undoped GaN layer 33 repeatedly grown in step S4) is 3.5-4 μm, wherein the orthographic projection of the pixel column prepared subsequently on the substrate is within the orthographic projection of the first inorganic layer 32 on the substrate, such as Figure 1 Through the above steps, the first inorganic layer 32 is formed multiple times, which can effectively reduce the further extension of dislocations in the non-doped GaN layer corresponding to the pixel column, so that the penetration dislocation density in this area is low, that is, the non-radiative recombination center is reduced, which is conducive to obtaining a high-performance Micro LED pixel array and improving the luminescence performance of the Micro LED chip to a certain extent.
[0042] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the orthographic projections of different first inorganic layers 32 on the substrate are substantially overlapped, so that in steps S1 to S4, the same mask can be used when preparing different first inorganic layers 32, saving the number of masks and reducing the preparation cost. Among them, the first inorganic layers of different layers can be the same or different, as long as they are between 10 and 30 nm.
[0043] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to better grow pixel columns later, refer to Figure 2 , the method for preparing a Micro-LED chip further includes:
[0044] S5: Etching a first groove 331 and a second groove 332 on the surface of the undoped GaN layer (i.e., the top second undoped GaN layer 33 in step S4), the orthographic projection of the first groove 331 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the green light pixel column on the substrate, the orthographic projection of the second groove 332 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the red light pixel column on the substrate, and the depth of the second groove 332 is greater than the depth of the first groove 331.
[0045] Among them, another mask plate can be used to etch the first groove 331 and the second groove 332 by applying photoresist, exposing, developing, etching, degumming, cleaning and other processes. In addition, the depth of the first groove is 28-145nm (for example, 28nm, 35nm, 40nm, 50nm, 60nm, 70nm, 80nm, 90nm, 100nm, 110nm, 120nm, 130nm, 145nm), and the depth of the second groove is 50-300nm (for example, 50nm, 60nm, 70nm, 80nm, 90nm, 100nm, 110nm, 120nm, 130nm, 150nm, 180nm, 200nm, 230nm, 250nm, 280nm, 300nm).
[0046] S6: depositing a second inorganic layer 34 on the surface of the non-doped GaN layer away from the substrate 10, and the second inorganic layer 34 has a first through hole 341, a second through hole 342 and a third through hole 343 penetrating the second inorganic layer 34, the first through hole 341 exposes the first groove 331, the second through hole 342 exposes the second groove 332, and the third through hole 343 exposes a predetermined area of the non-doped GaN layer (i.e., the uppermost second non-doped GaN layer 33 in step S4), wherein the orthographic projection of the predetermined area on the substrate 10 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the blue light pixel column on the substrate, wherein the blue light pixel column is arranged in the third through hole 343, the green light pixel column is arranged in the first through hole 341, and the red light pixel column is arranged in the second through hole 342, i.e., the first through hole 341, the second through hole 342 and the third through hole 343 expose the growth surfaces of the green light pixel column, the red light pixel column and the blue light pixel column respectively. The thickness of the second inorganic layer 34 is 100-300 nm, such as 100 nm, 130 nm, 150 nm, 180 nm, 200 nm, 230 nm, 250 nm, 280 nm, 300 nm. The material of the second inorganic layer may be silicon nitride or silicon oxide.
[0047] In some examples, the method for forming the second inorganic layer 34 can be: depositing an inorganic thin film on the surface of the non-doped GaN layer away from the substrate 10 and in the first groove and the second groove, and then using another mask to etch through exposure, development, etching, degumming, cleaning and other processes to obtain a patterned second inorganic layer 34.
