[0078] The method for manufacturing a grid-type light-emitting display with piezoresistive sensing function according to Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0079] Step 1: As Figure 2 As shown, a number of regularly arranged vias 2 are formed on the drive backplate 1, and conductive material is filled in the vias 2. Subsequently, a number of anodes 3 are formed on the upper surface of the drive backplate 1, and each anode 3 covers at least one via 2.

[0080] Step 2: As Figure 3 As shown, an N-type highly doped region 41, an N-type epitaxial layer 42, and an oxide layer 48 are sequentially grown on the driving backplate 1 and the anode 3 to form a semiconductor layer;

[0081] Step 3: As Figure 4 As shown, the patterned semiconductor layer is filled with the removed portion by the interlayer dielectric layer 7, and the interlayer dielectric layer 7 is smoothed by a chemical mechanical polishing process, so that the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 7 is flush with the upper surface of the oxide layer 48.

[0082] Step 4: As Figure 5 As shown, a trench structure is etched and a gate oxide layer 48 is grown, and a polysilicon gate 43 is deposited in the trench.

[0083] Step 5: AsFigure 6 As shown, the polysilicon layer is polished using a chemical mechanical polishing process so that the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 7 is flush with the upper surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 42. Then, the polysilicon gate 43 is partially etched to form a gate section.

[0084] Step 6: As Figure 7 As shown, an oxide layer 48 is regrown on the polysilicon gate 43, polysilicon is deposited again to form another gate segment, and an oxide film is deposited on it to form a gate splitting structure.

[0085] Step 7: As Figure 8 As shown, P-region 44 and N+ region 45 are sequentially formed on the N-type epitaxial layer 42 by ion implantation, avoiding the gate structure;

[0086] Step 8: As Figure 9 As shown, after depositing an oxide layer 48 on the upper surface of the N+ region 45, a via is etched. Ions are implanted through the via to form a P+ region 46 on the upper part of the P- region 44. A metal layer 47 is deposited on the oxide layer 48. The metal layer 47 passes through the via and contacts the P+ region 46.

[0087] Step 9: As Figure 10 As shown, an ITO thin film layer 5 and an Al layer 6 are deposited on the metal layer 47, and an interlayer dielectric layer 7 is produced again. The interlayer dielectric layer 7 is then ground using a chemical mechanical grinding process so that the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 7 is flush with the upper surface of the Al layer 6.

[0088] Step 10: As Figure 11 As shown, the RGB LED chips (including P-pad layer 10, P-GaN layer 11, MQW layer 12, n-GaN layer 13 and N-pad layer 14 arranged sequentially) in the red light-emitting sub-pixel R, green light-emitting sub-pixel G and blue light-emitting sub-pixel B are connected to the driver backplane 1 using mass transfer and vacuum bonding technology.

[0089] Step 11: As Figure 12 As shown, a Si layer 15 is deposited on the Al layer 6 of the pressure sensing sub-pixel S and patterned to form a hollow structure. A thin SiO2 layer 16 and a P-type silicon 17 are grown sequentially on the top of the Si layer 15 of the hollow structure. After deep silicon etching and hole drilling, tungsten 19 is deposited in the hole using CVD process. Then, a P-type single crystal silicon sensing film 18 with a piezoresistive electrode is bonded by bonding process.

[0090] Step 12: As Figure 13 As shown, finally, the common cathode 8 and the thin film encapsulation layer 9 are grown, and the current flow is shown by the red arrow inside the semiconductor device 4.

[0091] Example 2

[0092] The difference from Example 1 is as follows: Figure 14As shown, the section of the gate located at the bottom of the trench is longer than the section at the bottom of the trench in Embodiment 1, and the position of the oxide layer 48 grown on this section is different. The oxide layer 48 is grown on the surface of the gate section and the N-type epitaxial layer 42 above it.

[0093] The fabrication method of the grid-type light-emitting display with piezoresistive sensing function in Example 2 is as follows:

[0095] Step b: As Figure 16 As shown, an N-type highly doped region 41, an N-type epitaxial layer 42, and an oxide layer 48 are sequentially grown on the driving backplate 1 and the anode 3 to form a semiconductor layer;

[0096] Step c: As Figure 17 As shown, the patterned semiconductor layer is filled with the removed portion by the interlayer dielectric layer 7, and the interlayer dielectric layer 7 is smoothed by a chemical mechanical polishing process, so that the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 7 is flush with the upper surface of the oxide layer 48.

[0097] Step d: As Figure 18 As shown, a trench structure is etched and a gate oxide layer 48 is grown, and a polysilicon gate 43 is deposited in the trench.

[0098] Step e: as Figure 19 As shown, the polysilicon layer is polished using a chemical mechanical polishing process so that the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 7 is flush with the upper surface of the N-type epitaxial layer 42. Then, the polysilicon gate 43 is partially etched to form a gate section.

[0099] Step f: as Figure 20 As shown, an oxide layer 48 is regrown on the surface of the polysilicon gate 43 and the N-type epitaxial layer 42 above it, polysilicon is deposited again to form another gate segment, and an oxide film is deposited on it to form a gate splitting structure.

[0100] Step g: as Figure 21 As shown, P-region 44 and N+ region 45 are sequentially formed on the N-type epitaxial layer 42 by ion implantation, avoiding the gate structure;

[0101] Step h: as Figure 22 As shown, after depositing an oxide layer 48 on the upper surface of the N+ region 45, a via is etched. Ions are implanted through the via to form a P+ region 46 on the upper part of the P- region 44. A metal layer 47 is deposited on the oxide layer. The metal layer 47 passes through the via and contacts the P+ region 46.

[0102] Step i: AsFigure 23 As shown, an ITO thin film layer 5 and an Al layer 6 are deposited on the metal layer 47, and an interlayer dielectric layer 7 is produced again. The interlayer dielectric layer 7 is then ground using a chemical mechanical grinding process so that the upper surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 7 is flush with the upper surface of the Al layer 6.

[0103] Step j: as Figure 24 As shown, RGB LED chips (including P-pad layer 10, P-GaN layer 11, MQW layer 12, n-GaN layer 13 and N-pad layer 14 arranged sequentially) in red light-emitting sub-pixel R, green light-emitting sub-pixel G and blue light-emitting sub-pixel B) are connected to the driver backplane 1 using mass transfer and vacuum bonding technology.

[0104] Step k: as follows Figure 25 As shown, a Si layer 15 is deposited on the Al layer 6 of the pressure sensing sub-pixel S and patterned to form a hollow structure. A thin SiO2 layer 16 and a P-type silicon 17 are grown sequentially on the top of the Si layer 15 of the hollow structure. After deep silicon etching and hole drilling, tungsten 19 is deposited in the hole using CVD process. Then, a P-type single crystal silicon sensing film 18 with a piezoresistive electrode is bonded by bonding process.

[0105] Step 1: As Figure 26 As shown, finally, the common cathode 8 and the thin film encapsulation layer 9 are grown, and the current flow is shown by the red arrow inside the semiconductor device 4.

[0106] The optimized pixel arrangement schemes of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 are as follows: Figure 27 As shown, a pixel includes a red luminous sub-pixel R, a green luminous sub-pixel G, a blue luminous sub-pixel B, and a pressure-sensing sub-pixel S. Spatially, a square has four vertices, each containing the pressure-sensing sub-pixels S and blue luminous sub-pixels B at its two diagonal vertices, and the red luminous sub-pixels R and green luminous sub-pixels G at the remaining two vertices. The side length of the square is equal to the pixel width.
