Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and in particular to a light emitting diode chip and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most of the existing light emitting diodes are GaN-based epitaxial structures, that is, the P-type layer is a P-type GaN layer, and the work function is as high as 7.5eV, which is higher than the metal commonly used to prepare the electrode of the light emitting diode. This causes a high contact resistance between the P-type layer and the electrode, which increases the operating voltage. High voltage will cause an increase in heat production, a decrease in light efficiency, and a decrease in reliability. One of the commonly used methods is to form a transparent conductive film on the P-type layer to reduce the ohmic contact resistance and improve the current lateral expansion capability to avoid current aggregation. The commonly used transparent conductive layer is a tin-doped indium oxide layer (In2O3: Sn). When the doping concentration is high, the sheet resistance is low, which is beneficial to optimizing the ohmic contact between the P-type layer and the metal electrode, but the light transmittance will decrease significantly, which reduces the light efficiency. When the doping concentration is high, although the light transmittance is high, the sheet resistance is large, which leads to high operating voltage of the light emitting diode and poor reliability. In addition, the increase in voltage will also cause a decrease in light efficiency. SUMMARY

The epitaxial layer 2 is disposed on the substrate 1 and includes a first semiconductor layer 21, an active layer 22, and a second semiconductor layer 23 sequentially stacked on the substrate 1. An exposed region 24 exposing the first semiconductor layer 21 is also formed on the epitaxial layer 2. The first transparent conductive layer 3 is stacked on the second semiconductor layer 23. The second transparent conductive layer 4 is stacked on the first transparent conductive layer 3. The first electrode 5 is disposed on the first semiconductor layer 21 within the exposed region 24 and is electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer 21. The second electrode 6 is disposed on the second transparent conductive layer 4 and is electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer 23. The transmittance of the first transparent conductive layer 3 is less than that of the second transparent conductive layer 4, and the sheet resistance of the first transparent conductive layer 3 is less than that of the second transparent conductive layer 4. In the LED chip of this embodiment, the first transparent conductive layer 3 is in contact with the second semiconductor layer 23. Its low sheet resistance and strong lateral current diffusion capability enhance current diffusion and improve the ohmic contact between the electrode and the second semiconductor layer 23. The second transparent conductive layer 4 only needs to transmit current; therefore, it uses a material with high sheet resistance and high light transmittance, which has minimal impact on the operating voltage and improves light extraction efficiency. Through the combination of these two components, the luminous efficiency of the LED chip can be improved, and its operating voltage can be reduced.

[0050] Specifically, substrate 1 can be a sapphire substrate, a silicon substrate, a silicon carbide substrate, a gallium oxide substrate, or a zinc oxide substrate, but is not limited thereto. Preferably, it is a sapphire substrate. More preferably, it is a patterned sapphire substrate.

Specifically, the light-emitting diode chip of the present application can be a red, green, yellow or violet LED chip, and different types of the first semiconductor layer 21, the active layer 22 and the second semiconductor layer 23 can be selected based on the control of the light-emitting wavelength. For example, in one embodiment of the present application, when the light-emitting diode chip is a blue LED chip or a green LED chip, the first semiconductor layer 21 can be an N-type GaN layer, the active layer 22 can be an InGaN-GaN multi-quantum well layer, and the second semiconductor layer 23 can be a P-type GaN layer. In another embodiment of the present application, when the light-emitting diode chip is a violet LED chip, the first semiconductor layer 21 can be an N-type AlGaN layer, the active layer 22 can be an AlGaN-AlGaN multi-quantum well layer, and the second semiconductor layer 23 can be a P-type AlGaN layer, but the present application is not limited thereto.

When the materials of the first transparent conductive layer 3 and the second transparent conductive layer 4 are the same and both are ITO layers (i.e. Sn-doped In2O3 layers), the In content of the first transparent conductive layer 3 is greater than or equal to the In content of the second transparent conductive layer 4. By controlling the In content, the sheet resistance of the first transparent conductive layer 3 can be lower and the light transmittance of the first transparent conductive layer 3 can be smaller, while the sheet resistance of the second transparent conductive layer 4 can be higher and the light transmittance of the second transparent conductive layer 4 can be higher, thereby achieving the effects of reducing the working voltage and improving the light-emitting efficiency at the same time.

[0054] Specifically, in one embodiment, the thickness of the first transparent conductive layer 3 is 1000nm to 2000nm. The thickness of the second transparent conductive layer 4 is 1000nm to 2000nm.

[0058] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the conductive unit 32 can be circular, rectangular, or triangular, but is not limited thereto. The width of the conductive unit 32 is wherein the width is a characteristic dimension of the conductive unit 32, for example, when the cross-section of the conductive unit 32 is circular, the width is the diameter thereof; when the cross-section of the conductive unit 32 is rectangular, the width is the length dimension thereof; when the cross-section of the conductive unit 32 is triangular, the width is the longest side length thereof.

Specifically, the third transparent conductive layer 9 can further improve the light transmittance, and reduce the contact resistance of the electrode and the epitaxial layer 2, and reduce the operating voltage of the LED chip. Through the cooperation of the first transparent conductive layer 3, the second transparent conductive layer 4 and the third transparent conductive layer 9 of the structure, one can greatly improve the luminous efficiency and reduce the operating voltage; two, can cancel the current blocking layer in the traditional light emitting diode chip, save the process. Three, due to the difference in refractive index between the first transparent conductive layer 3 and the third transparent conductive layer 9, the light will change the exit angle when passing through the structure composed of the first transparent conductive layer 3 and the third transparent conductive layer 9, preventing the light from entering the etched sidewall (i.e. the sidewall of the exposed area 24), improving the light extraction efficiency, especially for Micro-LED, which can greatly improve the luminous efficiency.

[0061] Specifically, the period number of the third transparent conductive layer 9 is 3-20, the thickness of the Sc2O3 layer 91 is 1-2 nm; the thickness of the Sc, Sn co-doped In2O3 layer 92 is 10-15 nm, the Sc doping concentration is 5-10%, and the Sn doping concentration is 15-20%.
