Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and in particular relates to a vertical structure red light Micro-LED and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Micro-LEDs have the advantages of high brightness, long life, and low power consumption. They can achieve high-density arrangement of micron-level pixel sizes, and can simultaneously meet new display requirements such as high resolution, fast response speed, and long life. They have broad application prospects in new fields such as large-size ultra-high-definition display, wearable display, and augmented reality / virtual reality (AR / VR) display. Although Micro-LED display has huge market prospects, there are still many technical problems to be solved in the commercialization of Micro-LED. Among them, the RGB pixel integration and full-color display of Micro-LED are a major difficulty. The implementation methods of Micro-LED full-color technology mainly include RGB three-primary color integration technology and color conversion technology. Among them, RGB three-primary color integrated white light Micro-LED is a method of placing red, green and blue primary color Micro-LED chips adjacent to each other to achieve wide-spectrum white light through color mixing. Since all three light-emitting devices are electroluminescent, this method can fundamentally solve the problems of Stokes loss and color conversion efficiency caused by color conversion technology.

[0003] Generally, green and blue Micro-LED chips use InGaN-based materials as the light-emitting active layer, while red Micro-LED chips use AlInGaP-based materials as the light-emitting active layer. Due to the different material systems, there are significant differences in their light absorption coefficients and refractive indices. Therefore, when the three chips are integrated, the spatial angle distribution of the light intensity of red Micro-LED and blue-green Micro-LED is not uniform, resulting in a certain color deviation when observed from different viewing angles, which reduces the color rendering quality of Micro-LED. In addition, the external quantum efficiency of AlInGaP red Micro-LED has a serious size effect. When the size of Micro-LED gradually decreases, the surface recombination of AlInGaP red Micro-LED will be significantly enhanced, resulting in a sharp drop in external quantum efficiency.

[0004] Compared with traditional AlInGaP-based red LEDs, InGaN-based red LEDs are easier to integrate with green and blue InGaN-based LEDs, and because carriers migrate less to sidewall defects, the device size can be better reduced. Therefore, InGaN-based red Micro-LEDs are an ideal choice for full-color Micro-LEDs. However, due to the large lattice mismatch between high-In component InGaN and GaN, a large number of defects are formed in the active region, resulting in a significant increase in non-radiative recombination in red multi-quantum wells, which causes a serious reduction in external quantum efficiency. After years of development, the external quantum efficiency of 630nm InGaN-based red Micro-LEDs is still less than 3%, which is much lower than the external quantum efficiency of blue-green Micro-LEDs, seriously hindering the development of red, green and blue primary color integrated full-color Micro-LED technology. Therefore, how to obtain efficient InGaN-based red Micro-LEDs is the key to the industrialization and large-scale application of Micro-LEDs. Due to the advantages of vertical structure LED chips in current expansion and heat dissipation, vertical structure Micro-LED chips also have broad application prospects in the field of new Micro-LED displays.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a vertical structured red light Micro-LED. Summary of the invention
