Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a Micro-LED structure with dual emission directions and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the fields of semiconductor light-emitting devices, micro-LED displays, etc. Background Art
[0002] Micro-LED display technology has broad application prospects due to its advantages such as low energy consumption, long life and good color rendering, especially in the field of high-definition display of various sizes and shapes such as large displays, consumer electronics, car displays, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and wearable displays. The current mainstream naked-eye three-dimensional (3D) technology uses a specific algorithm to arrange images interactively, and then achieves the naked-eye 3D effect through a parallax barrier set between the display backlight and the liquid crystal panel. However, there is a problem that the backlight module is blocked by the parallax barrier, which reduces the brightness and reduces the resolution of the screen. In the field of near-eye naked-eye 3D, due to the distance between the device and the observer and the area of the light-emitting panel, the screen resolution seriously affects the display quality of the picture. Researchers have developed a variety of technologies to improve resolution, such as increasing pixel density through time multiplexing and using Micro-LED for small-scale high-resolution display. Among them, using Micro-LED to increase the screen PPI and achieve high-resolution near-eye 3D display is a popular research direction at present. Therefore, Micro-LED display technology has become one of the next-generation display technologies that relevant research institutions and enterprises around the world focus on. However, how to achieve 3D full-color display is one of the main challenges facing Micro-LED display technology. This is mainly because under existing technical conditions, it is still difficult to achieve monolithic integration of red, green and blue primary color Micro-LEDs.
[0003] At present, high-efficiency solid-state visible light sources are mainly GaN nitride-based blue-green LEDs and AlInGaP phosphide-based red LEDs. When the emission wavelength of AlInGaP-based materials is modulated from red light to yellow light, its band gap gradually transitions from a direct band gap to an indirect band gap, resulting in a rapid decrease in efficiency. This physical property severely restricts its development and application as a short-wavelength light source. In addition, AlInGaP-based LEDs have strong surface recombination, and the etching damage produced during the preparation of Micro-LEDs will further aggravate the surface recombination, leading to serious non-radiative recombination. Studies have shown that when the LED chip size is reduced to 262μm, its external quantum efficiency is less than 6%; when the size is further reduced to 32μm, the external quantum efficiency is less than 1%; there are even reports that 50×50μm 2The external quantum efficiency of a chip of this size is less than 0.12%. This phenomenon seriously restricts the application of AlInGaP-based LEDs as red light sources in the field of Micro-LED displays. The low luminous efficiency of InGaN-based LEDs in the long-wavelength band is due to the difficulty in epitaxial growth of InGaN with a high In component, but this problem can be solved through technical means, and certain progress has been made. On the other hand, the non-radiative recombination caused by etching damage in InGaN-based LEDs is relatively small, and its emission wavelength can cover the entire visible light band. Therefore, it is most likely to be used in fields such as Micro-LED displays and high-speed visible light communications, but the efficiency in the red light band is currently low. Therefore, solving the problems of epitaxial growth of InGaN films with a high In component and the non-radiative recombination caused by etching damage has become an important research topic. Summary of the invention
[0004] The main reason why Micro-LED is difficult to apply in near-eye naked-eye 3D display is that it is difficult to design a high-density Micro-LED dot matrix structure that can achieve 3D visual effects. In addition, quantum well etching damage is easily generated when preparing the Micro-LED structure, which leads to serious non-radiative recombination and reduces the light efficiency. The dual-emitting direction Micro-LED structure provided by the present invention is specially designed with densely packed In to solve the etching damage problem generated when preparing the Micro-LED structure. x Ga 1-x The N-triangle island structure further epitaxially grows independent Micro-LED structures, fundamentally avoiding damage to the multi-quantum wells by etching and improving the radiation recombination efficiency of the nitride Micro-LED; the light-emitting units are arranged based on dense stacking to maximize the use of the area of the epitaxial wafer; at the same time, the unique Micro-LED structure with dual emission directions will emit light in two different directions when working. The structure can be further designed to allow light in two directions to enter the left and right eyes respectively, creating a parallax effect and achieving a 3D display effect; at the same time, this structure facilitates the design of 3D display algorithms, and thus achieves a delicate and realistic near-eye naked-eye 3D picture display, maximizing economic benefits.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] On the one hand, the present invention provides a dual-emitting direction Micro-LED structure, which includes an N-type GaN layer 101 with a non-polar upward crystal plane, a mask layer 102 containing a microhole array, an N-type In with an In composition of 0≤x≤0.35, and a x Ga 1-x N triangle island 103, strain control layer 104, quantum well layer 105, carrier control layer 106, P-type In with In composition y yGa 1-y N layer 107, and P type In y Ga 1-y The N layer 107 has a PL electrode 108 and a PR electrode 109 that have good ohmic contact, and an N electrode 1010 that has good ohmic contact with the N-type GaN layer 101 .
[0007] The N-type In x Ga 1-x The bottom of the N triangle island 103 is obtained by epitaxial growth upward from the microholes in the mask layer 102, and includes two left-right symmetrical triangular slopes and a triangular side surface perpendicular to the bottom surface. The strain control layer 104, the quantum well layer 105, the carrier control layer 106, the P-type In y Ga 1-y The N layer 107 and the PL electrode 108 (or the PR electrode 109) are both symmetrically arranged on the N-type In x Ga 1-x The parameters of the same structure are exactly the same; the strain control layer 104, quantum well layer 105, carrier control layer 106, P-type In y Ga 1-y The N-type In layer 107, the PL electrode 108, the N-electrode 1010 and the left side x Ga 1-x The N triangle island slopes form the Micro-LED structure L; the strain control layer 104, quantum well layer 105, carrier control layer 106, P-type In y Ga 1-y The N-type In layer 107, the PR electrode 109, the N-electrode 1010 and the right side x Ga 1-x The N triangular island slopes form the Micro-LED structure R. The N electrode 1010 can be located at the top or bottom of the GaN layer 101 with the upward crystal plane being a non-polar surface and establish a good ohmic contact. x Ga 1-x In front of the two inclined surfaces of the N triangle island, the N electrode 1010 and the N-type In x Ga 1-x The N triangle island 103 has no contact; when the N electrode 1010 is disposed at the bottom, the N electrode covers the entire bottom of the N-type GaN layer 101 whose upward crystal plane is a non-polar plane.
[0008] Preferably, the mask layer 102 containing the micropore array is a dielectric film of SiO2, SiN or hBN with a thickness of 5 to 50 nm prepared on the N-type GaN layer 101, and the micropore array is etched from top to bottom through process technology, and the underlying N-type GaN layer 101 is exposed in the micropores; the diameter of the micropores is between 0.5 and 5 μm, and the micropores are arranged in a densely packed form with the centers of the micropores. The distance between the center of any micropore and the centers of the six adjacent micropores is equal, and can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0009] Preferably, the GaN layer 101 with a non-polar surface facing upward and the N-type In x Ga 1-x The upward crystal plane of the N triangle island 103 is also the (11-20) plane. At this time, the crystal planes of the left and right inclined planes are also one of the {1-101} or {1-102} crystal plane families. Since the crystal planes {1-101} or {1-102} are lower potential energy planes, a regular triangle island can be formed, and the layer structure above can grow regularly and controllably. In addition, the GaN layer 101 and the N-type In layer 103 with the upward crystal plane being the non-polar plane are x Ga 1-x The upward crystal plane of the N triangle island 103 can also be the (1-100) plane at the same time. In this case, the crystal planes of the left and right inclined planes are both {20-21} crystal plane family; x Ga 1-x The side surfaces of the N-triangular island 103 that are perpendicular to the bottom surface are all (000-1) surfaces. By arranging the light-emitting units based on dense packing, the area of the epitaxial wafer can be effectively utilized to the greatest extent. Setting up a mesa structure fundamentally avoids the damage of etching to the multiple quantum wells, improves the radiation recombination efficiency of the nitride Micro-LED, and the mesa structure is conducive to releasing the underlying stress, improving the crystal quality of the entire structure of the LED, and thus weakening the effects of defects and polarization on carriers, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the LED. At the same time, the unique dual-emitting direction Micro-LED structure will emit light in two different directions when working. The structure can be further designed to allow light in two directions to enter the left and right eyes respectively, producing a parallax effect and achieving a 3D display effect; at the same time, this structure facilitates the design of a 3D display algorithm, thereby achieving a delicate and realistic near-eye naked-eye 3D picture display, maximizing economic benefits.

When the micropores are large, the islands are prone to irregularity, so the size of the islands is limited.
[0011] Preferably, the strain control layer 104 covers the entire N-type In x Ga 1-x the two inclined planes of the N triangular island 103, but does not cover the N-type In x Ga 1-x the edge in the middle of the N triangular island 103; when the N-type In x Ga 1-x When the molar fraction x of the N triangular island is ≤ 0.05, the strain control layer 104 is a GaN / Al x1 Ga 1-x1 N / GaN composite layer from bottom to top with 1 to 3 periods, where Al x1 Ga 1-x1 the thickness of N is less than 3 nm, x1 < 0.15, that is, when x is small, the stress of In x Ga 1-x N is small, and only a lower component of AlGaN needs to be introduced to compensate for a certain in-plane stress in the c direction; when the N-type In x Ga 1-x When the molar fraction 0.05 < x < 0.15 of the N triangular island, the strain control layer 104 is a GaN / Al x1 Ga 1-x1 N / GaN / In x Ga 1-x N composite layer, where In x Ga 1-x the molar fraction x of N is the molar fraction of the N-type In x Ga 1-x triangular island, and control the thickness of Al x1 Ga 1-x1 N to be less than 2 nm; where the lattice mismatch value of GaN and Al x1 Ga 1-x1 N in the c direction is △1 = -0.03915 × x1; In x Ga 1-x the lattice mismatch value of N and GaN in the c direction is △2 = 0.09797 × x; by adjusting the molar fractions x and x1, the lattice mismatch values of Al x1 Ga 1-x1 N and In x Ga 1-x N in the c direction with GaN are made equivalent, that is, x1 = 2.5 × x ± 0.05 is satisfied, so as to achieve stress compensation between layers, and then obtain a high-quality quantum well and improve the overall Micro-LED light efficiency.
[0012] Preferably, the left and right groups of quantum wells are symmetrically covered on the top of the strain control layer 104, have the same area and are not connected to each other, and their shape is consistent with the inclined surface of the GaN three-dimensional triangular island 103; when the quantum wells emit red, green, and blue light, respectively, the number of quantum well pairs is 1 to 2 pairs, 2 to 4 pairs, and 3 to 5 pairs, respectively; the layer structure of the quantum well is In x2 Ga 1-x2 N / GaN / Al x3 Ga 1-x3 N / GaN, due to In x2 Ga 1-x2 The lattice mismatch between N and GaN in the c direction is △3 = 0.09797 × x2; Al x3 Ga 1-x3 The lattice mismatch value between N and GaN in the c direction is △4 = -0.03915 × x3; by adjusting the molar composition x2 and x3, In x2 Ga 1-x2 N and Al x3 Ga 1-x3 The lattice mismatch value of N in the c direction is equivalent to that of GaN, that is, x3 = 2.5 × x2 ± 0.05, while controlling In x2 Ga 1-x2 The thickness of N is 2 to 4 nm, and the two layers of GaN and Al x3 Ga 1-x3 The total thickness of N does not exceed 6nm, which can better release stress, improve the radiation recombination efficiency of the quantum well, and improve the light efficiency.
[0013] Preferably, the carrier regulation layer 106 is one of an electron blocking layer and a hole injection layer; wherein the electron blocking layer is an Al2O3 layer having 2 to 8 cycles and a single cycle thickness of less than 8 nm. y1 Ga (1-y1) N / GaN superlattice, where the molar composition y1 is between 0.1 and 0.6, and Al y1 Ga (1-y1) The hole injection layer is P-doped with an overall thickness of less than 30nm Al y2 Ga (1-y2) N / In y3 Ga (1-y3) N / GaN superlattice, Mg doping concentration is 5×10 17 cm -3 ~1×10 19 cm -3 The hole concentration is not higher than 1×10 18 cm -3By setting an electron blocking layer with a wider bandgap or a highly P-doped hole injection layer, the carriers in the active region, i.e., the multiple quantum wells, are restricted, thereby increasing the overlap of the hole and electron wave functions in the multiple quantum wells and achieving a higher radiation recombination efficiency.
[0014] Preferably, P-type In y Ga 1-y The thickness of the N layer 107 is between 50 and 200 nm, and the molar composition y is between 0 and 0.15. When y=0, it is GaN.

[0018] Beneficial effects:
[0019] The present invention proposes a dual-emitting direction Micro-LED structure and a preparation method thereof. The design adopts micropore selective epitaxy technology to grow N-type In with a lower potential energy surface. x Ga 1-x N, naturally forms a triangular island structure with high symmetry, thereby achieving regular and controllable growth of the island surface layer structure. x Ga 1-x The independent Micro-LED full structure is prepared on the inclined surface of the N triangle island, which fundamentally avoids the damage of etching to the multi-quantum well, thereby improving the radiation recombination efficiency of the nitride Micro-LED. In addition, the triangular island structure helps to release the stress between layers during epitaxial growth, improves the crystal quality of the prepared Micro-LED full structure, weakens the influence of defects and polarization on carriers, and improves the luminous efficiency of Micro-LED.
[0020] At the same time, to alleviate In x Ga 1-x The N quantum well has a series of adverse effects (such as defects caused by stress release) caused by the large lattice mismatch with GaN. The present invention sets a strain control layer and a specially designed quantum well structure before growing the quantum well, and introduces an AlGaN layer with a specific molar composition to produce a strain opposite to that of InGaN to offset the strain of InGaN. The principle is as follows: First, according to the formula
[0021] Calculate the lattice mismatch value, where △ is the lattice mismatch value, c GaN The c-axis lattice constant of GaN is 5.185 angstroms, c n Alx1 Ga 1-x1 N and In x Ga 1-x The c-axis lattice constant of N. n The calculation formula is: c n =b×c AlN或InN +(1-b)c GaN
[0022] Where b is x, x1, x2 or x3, c AlN或InN is the c-axis lattice constant of AlN or InN, which are 4.982 angstroms and 5.693 angstroms respectively. Substituting the corresponding values into Al x1 Ga 1-x1 The lattice mismatch value between N and GaN in the c direction is △1 = -0.03915×x1; In x Ga 1-x The lattice mismatch between N and GaN in the c direction is △2 = 0.09797 × x; In x2 Ga 1-x2 The lattice mismatch between N and GaN in the c direction is △3 = 0.09797 × x2; Al x3 Ga 1-x3 The lattice mismatch value between N and GaN in the c direction is △4 = -0.03915×x3. By adjusting the molar composition x, x1, x2, x3, Al x1 Ga 1-x1 N and In x Ga 1-x The lattice mismatch between N and GaN in the c direction is comparable. x2 Ga 1-x2 N and Al x3 Ga 1-x3 The lattice mismatch value of N in the c direction is equivalent to that of GaN (such as △1=-△2, △3=-△4), that is, x1=2.5×x±0.05, x3=2.5×x2±0.05. At this time, AlGaN will produce a strain in the opposite direction and with a similar value to InGaN to offset the strain of InGaN and suppress defects in InGaN due to excessive strain, thereby obtaining high-quality quantum wells and improving the overall Micro-LED lighting efficiency.
[0023] An electron blocking layer or a highly P-doped hole injection layer with a wider bandgap width is set to limit the carriers in the active area, namely the multiple quantum wells, so that the overlap of the hole and electron wave functions in the multiple quantum wells is increased, and a higher radiation recombination efficiency is achieved, further solving the problem of the decrease in internal quantum efficiency as the injection current density increases.
[0024] At the same time, the present invention uses dense packing as the basis to arrange the light-emitting units, which effectively utilizes the area of the epitaxial wafer to the greatest extent. The naturally formed highly symmetrical Micro-LED structure with dual emission directions will emit light in two different directions when working. The structure can be further designed to allow the light in the two directions to enter the left and right eyes respectively, producing a parallax effect and achieving a 3D display effect; at the same time, this structure facilitates the design of 3D display algorithms, and has great advantages in the field of near-eye naked-eye 3D display. At the same time, relying on the micron-level size of Micro-LED, a higher PPI per unit area can be achieved, and a delicate and realistic picture can be easily achieved, which has a wide range of application scenarios.
