As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0035] Referring to Figure 1 The light emitting diode in the first embodiment of the present application comprises a substrate 100 and an initial epitaxial structure arranged from bottom to top, the initial epitaxial structure comprises an N-type semiconductor layer 110 and a P-type platform 120 arranged from bottom to top, the P-type platform 120 has a projection area on a horizontal plane smaller than that of the N-type semiconductor layer 110, and the P-type platform 120 comprises a multiple quantum well layer and a P-type semiconductor layer arranged from bottom to top. Preferably, the N-type semiconductor layer 110 and the P-type semiconductor layer are both made of gallium nitride, the substrate 100 is made of sapphire, and a photoresist is coated on the semiconductor epitaxial layer, followed by exposure and development to form a photoetching pattern, and then part of the P-type semiconductor layer and the multiple quantum well layer are removed by dry etching to expose the N-type semiconductor layer 110. Further, the gas used in dry etching is selected from Ar, Cl2, BCl2, CF4 and CCl4, and after etching, the photoresist is removed and the wafer is cleaned for subsequent fabrication.
[0036] The N-type semiconductor layer 110 is provided with a first current blocking part 201 on the side facing the P-type platform, the P-type semiconductor layer is provided with a second current blocking part 202, a third current blocking part 203 and a transparent conductive part 204 on the side facing away from the multiple quantum well layer, the transparent conductive part 204 is connected to the second current blocking part 202, the first current blocking part 201 is provided with a plurality of first adhesive metal parts 211, the second current blocking part 202 comprises a blocking ring and a plurality of blocking strips, the blocking ring encloses a placement area, the third current blocking part 203 is located in the placement area, and a plurality of second adhesive metal parts 212 are arranged in the placement area between the blocking ring and the third current blocking part 203. Preferably, referring to Figure 2The blocking ring is located at one end of the initial epitaxial structure, the blocking ring connects two blocking bars, both of which extend from the blocking ring to the end of the initial epitaxial structure away from the blocking ring. The first current blocking part 201 is in the shape of D, and is located at the end of the initial epitaxial structure away from the blocking ring. The first current blocking part 201, the second current blocking part 202 and the third current blocking part 203 are made of the same insulating material. Specifically, the insulating material is deposited on the cleaned initial epitaxial structure to form an insulating layer, the insulating layer is coated with glue, and the exposure and development process is performed to make a mask pattern, and then the excess insulating layer is removed by etching, and the glue is removed, thereby obtaining the required current blocking part. The transparent conductive part 204 is made of transparent conductive material, such as ITO and IZO. In this embodiment, ITO material is specifically selected. Further, the transparent conductive part 204 is prepared by first depositing transparent conductive material on the side of the P-type table 120 away from the N-type semiconductor layer to form a transparent conductive layer. The transparent conductive layer is coated with glue, and the exposure and development process is performed to make a mask pattern. The excess transparent conductive layer is removed by wet etching to expose part of the second current blocking layer and the third current blocking part 203. After the glue is removed, the transparent conductive part 204 is formed.
[0037] Preferably, the first adhesion metal parts 211 are arranged at intervals, the second adhesion metal parts 212 are arranged at intervals, and gaps are left between adjacent second adhesion metal parts 212. When the high-reflectivity metal part is subsequently made, the high-reflectivity metal part and the second adhesion metal part 212 can both partially contact the P-type table 120. Understandably, the first current blocking part 201, the second current blocking part 202 and the third current blocking part 203 can avoid the injected current flowing directly to the electrode below, and can expand the range of current flow. Through specific shape design, the current blocking effect is further prevented, which is beneficial to improve the luminous intensity, i.e. to improve the light efficiency of the light-emitting diode. Selective deposition of high-adhesion metal to form a plurality of first adhesion metal parts 211 and a plurality of second adhesion metal parts 212 arranged at intervals is beneficial to improve the adhesion of the metal electrode structure and improve the connection strength between the metal electrode and the epitaxial structure, while saving materials and optimizing the current range.
[0038] A same first reflective metal part 221 is arranged on the first adhesive metal parts 211, a same second reflective metal part 222 is arranged on the second adhesive metal parts 212, the second reflective metal part 222 is connected to the transparent conductive part 204 to form a final epitaxial structure, the first reflective metal part 221 comprises a first reflective metal sheet and a first reflective metal strip connected to the first reflective metal sheet, the first reflective metal strip is connected to the N-type semiconductor layer 110, one end of the first reflective metal sheet is connected to the first current blocking part 201, the second reflective metal part 222 comprises a second reflective metal sheet and a plurality of second reflective metal strips connected to the second reflective metal sheet, one side of the blocking strip away from the P-type table 120 is connected to the second reflective metal strip, one end of the second reflective metal sheet is connected to the third current blocking part 203, a protective layer 300 is arranged on a side of the final epitaxial structure away from the substrate, a first groove and a second groove are arranged on the protective layer 300, the first groove and the second groove both penetrate the protective layer 300, the first groove corresponds to the first reflective metal part 221 in position, and the second groove corresponds to the second reflective metal part 222 in position. Preferably, please refer to Figure 2The first reflective metal strip extends from the first reflective metal sheet to the second reflective metal sheet, the second reflective metal sheet connects two second reflective metal strips, the second reflective metal strips are adapted in shape and position to the barrier strips, and the first reflective metal strip is located between the two second reflective metal strips. Further, the high reflective metal is patterned to improve the adhesion between the high reflective metal and the high adhesion metal. The light source is provided below the substrate 100 in a self-alignment manner, and the wavelength of the light source is 500 nm. Since the high adhesion metal has a shielding effect on light, when the light is incident from below to above, the first adhesion metal part 211 has a shielding effect on the first reflective metal part 221, and the second adhesion metal part 212 has a shielding effect on the second reflective metal part 222. Maskless exposure can be directly performed, which is more efficient. After the bottom exposure is completed, light is provided from above to below, that is, light is incident from the top surface of the first reflective metal part 221 and the second reflective metal part 222. Specifically, photoresist is used to cover the epitaxial structure and the transparent conductive part 204, and a window is left at the positions of the first reflective metal part 221 and the second reflective metal part 222 for exposure. The high reflective metal is patterned by double-sided exposure, further improving the adhesion inside the metal electrode structure. The protective layer 300 is made of an insulating material. After the insulating material is deposited, a protective insulating layer is formed. The protective insulating layer is coated, exposed, and developed to form a mask pattern, and the protective insulating layer above the metal structure is removed by etching to form the protective layer 300. It can be understood that chromium metal is usually used as the adhesion metal of N-type gallium nitride and P-type gallium nitride in the chip of a conventional light-emitting diode. However, the reflectivity of chromium metal is low, and the light absorption coefficient is large, which will negatively affect the brightness of the light-emitting diode. By using the first reflective metal part 221 and the second reflective metal part 222 and setting them on the first adhesion metal part 211 and the second adhesion metal part 212, the problem of strong adhesion but poor reflection of the conventional metal electrode structure can be solved, and high adhesion and high reflectivity are achieved.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 The second embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of a light-emitting diode, which is used for preparing the light-emitting diode described in the above technical solutions. The preparation method of the light-emitting diode comprises the following steps:
[0040] S10: providing a substrate, and sequentially depositing an N-type semiconductor layer, a multi-quantum well layer, and a P-type semiconductor layer on the substrate;
[0041] Preferably, the substrate is a sapphire substrate, the N-type semiconductor layer is N-type gallium nitride, and the P-type semiconductor layer is P-type gallium nitride.
[0042] S20: etching the multi-quantum well layer and the P-type semiconductor layer to expose part of the N-type semiconductor layer to form a P-type mesa, and the N-type semiconductor layer and the P-type mesa form an initial epitaxial structure;
[0043] The dry etching is performed, and dry etching gases are selected from Ar, Cl2, BCl2, CF4, and CCl4. Specifically, a photoetching pattern is made by coating a glue on the epitaxial layer and performing development and exposure, and then the N-type semiconductor layer is exposed by etching according to the pattern.
[0044] S30: preparing a first current blocking part on the N-type semiconductor layer, preparing a second current blocking part and a third current blocking part on the P-type semiconductor layer, the second current blocking part including a blocking ring, the blocking ring enclosing a placement area, and the third current blocking part being located in the placement area;
[0045] The shapes of the first current blocking part, the second current blocking part, and the third current blocking part are obtained by etching after making a mask pattern, and the third current blocking part has an annular gap with the second current blocking part.
[0046] Specifically, the step S30 includes:
[0047] S310: cleaning the initial epitaxial structure, and depositing an insulating layer on the initial epitaxial structure;
[0048] The initial epitaxial structure is degummed and cleaned to perform subsequent deposition operation. The material of the insulating layer is selected from oxides, and the thickness is 10 nm. The current injected into the metal electrode can be prevented from directly flowing under the P electrode, the current blocking effect is avoided, and the luminous intensity is improved.
[0049] S320: coating glue, exposing, and developing the insulating layer, making a first mask pattern on a region corresponding to the N-type semiconductor layer, making a second mask pattern and a third mask pattern on regions corresponding to the P-type semiconductor layer, and removing part of the insulating layer by etching to form a first current blocking part, a second current blocking part, and a third current blocking part, respectively.
[0050] It can be understood that the shapes of the first current blocking part, the second current blocking part, and the third current blocking part are designed and customized according to the required shape of the metal electrode, and cooperate with the metal electrode to make the current diffusion effect better, which is beneficial to prevent the current blocking phenomenon.
[0051] S40: depositing a plurality of first adhesive metal parts on the first current blocking part, depositing a plurality of second adhesive metal parts between the blocking ring and the third current blocking part, and depositing a transparent conductive part on the P-type mesa, the transparent conductive part being connected to the second current blocking part.
[0052] Preferably, the transparent conductive part is made of ITO. After depositing the ITO material layer, a photoetching pattern is made by coating, developing and exposing. Then, the excess ITO material is removed by wet etching to form the transparent conductive part. The shape of the transparent conductive part is similar to the P-type platform, and the projection area of the transparent conductive part on the horizontal plane is smaller than the projection area of the P-type platform on the horizontal plane. The transparent conductive part does not block the light, which is beneficial to ensure the light efficiency. Further, the first adhesive metal parts are arranged at intervals, and the second adhesive metal parts are arranged at intervals. Understandably, the use of high-adhesion metal is reduced, but the number of adhesive points is still ensured. The high-adhesion metal material is saved while ensuring the high-adhesion between the metal and gallium nitride, and the absorption of high-adhesion metal light is reduced.
[0053] S50: depositing a first reflective metal part on the first adhesive metal parts, and depositing a second reflective metal part on the second adhesive metal parts and the transparent conductive part to form a final epitaxial structure.
[0054] Understandably, the first reflective metal part and the second reflective metal part have a small light absorption coefficient for the light inside the light-emitting diode, and reflect the light, which can improve the light efficiency and brightness of the light-emitting diode.
[0055] Specifically, the step S50 further includes:
[0056] S510: using a light source with a wavelength of 470nm-520nm to perform maskless exposure on the first reflective metal part and the second reflective metal part from the direction of the substrate to the final epitaxial structure.
[0057] Preferably, a 500nm wavelength light source is used. Since the first adhesive metal part and the second adhesive metal part have a shielding effect on light and are located below the first reflective metal part and the second reflective metal part, when the direction of the light is from the substrate to the final epitaxial structure, i.e. incident from bottom to top, the first adhesive metal part and the second adhesive metal part act as a natural mask, and no additional mask needs to be made.
[0058] S520: exposing the first reflective metal part and the second reflective metal part from the direction of the final epitaxial structure to the substrate.
[0059] In the upper surface of the final epitaxial structure is covered with photoresist, only the corresponding position of the first reflective metal part and the second reflective metal part is left out of the window, and the window is exposed, that is, the patterning of the high reflective metal is completed. Patterning the first reflective metal part and the second reflective metal part is beneficial to prevent the adhesion under the high reflective electrode from being reduced due to the accuracy of the alignment part when the high reflective electrode is manufactured.
[0060] S60: depositing a protective layer on the side of the final epitaxial structure away from the substrate to form a light emitting diode.
[0061] Preferably, a first groove and a second groove are formed in the protective layer, the first groove and the second groove both penetrate the protective layer, the first groove corresponds to the position of the first reflective metal part, and the second groove corresponds to the position of the second reflective metal part. Specifically, a mask pattern is made by gluing, exposing and developing, and part of the insulating material of the protective layer is removed by etching, and then the glue is removed to prevent the protective layer from covering the metal electrode.
