Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optoelectronic technology, and in particular to a Mini LED chip and a method for preparing the same. Background Art

[0002] Flip-chip Mini LED chips can be used in COB direct display solutions. They can achieve high-definition and high-resolution display through the separate control of RGB three-primary color chips. They have the advantages of rich colors, energy saving, long life, and light weight, and are gradually becoming mainstream in the display market. The current mini chips are thinned by grinding and polishing. The thickness of the thinned wafer is generally 60μm to 85μm, and the size is generally around 3*6mil. The Mini LED wafer is cut into chips by laser hidden cutting, and then the chips are classified by photoelectric testing. According to the classification principle, the so-called bin table is used to sort out the chips with the specifications and parameters that customers want. The packaging application end fixes the Mini LED chip on the PCB substrate by bonding, and realizes electrical connection with the substrate through reflow soldering, and at the same time sticks the Mini LED chip to the PCB.

[0003] The current mini chip wafer thickness after thinning is about 80μm, which is very thin. It is easy to break during the thinning process. Even after the thinning is completed, it will break during the subsequent process. During the cutting process, the wafer will be severely warped because it is too thin, resulting in a low cutting yield. If you want to further thin it to less than 60μm, the probability of breaking will be very high, and it will not be possible to operate at all, which also makes it impossible for the chip to be less than 60μm thick.

In the present invention, when involving numerical ranges, unless otherwise specified, the two endpoints of the numerical range are included.

[0045] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for preparing a Mini LED chip, comprising the following steps:

[0046] (1) Figure 1 As shown, a Mini LED chip wafer is provided, the Mini LED chip wafer includes a substrate 100, a chip layer 200 is sequentially arranged on the substrate 100, a pad 300 is arranged on the surface of the chip layer 200, and the pad 300 includes a magnetic attraction layer 350;

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, in some implementations, the pad 300 includes an N pad 300 and a P pad 300 , and the materials, structures, and heights of the two pads 300 are consistent.

[0048] In some embodiments, the pad 300 includes a contact layer 310, a reflective layer 320, a cladding layer 330, a barrier layer 340, and a magnetic attraction layer 350 connected sequentially from bottom to top;

[0049] The contact layer 310 includes one or more of Cr, Ni, and Ti; the thickness of the contact layer 310 is 3nm to 10nm, and exemplary thicknesses are 4nm, 5nm, 6nm, 7nm, 8nm, and 9nm, but are not limited to the above; the contact layer 310 needs to have good conductivity to ensure smooth transmission of current or signals.

[0050] The reflective layer 320 includes Al; the thickness of the reflective layer 320 is 100nm to 300nm, and exemplary thicknesses are 120nm, 150nm, 180nm, 200nm, 220nm, 250nm, 270nm, and 290nm, but are not limited to the above list; in the Mini LED chip, the reflective layer 320 can improve the light extraction efficiency, thereby increasing the luminous intensity of the chip.

[0051] The coating layer 330 includes one or more of Ti, Ni, and Pt; the thickness of the coating layer 330 is 100nm to 300nm, and exemplary thicknesses are 120nm, 150nm, 180nm, 200nm, 220nm, 250nm, 270nm, and 290nm, but are not limited to the above examples; the coating layer 330 can prevent the reflective layer 320 from being corroded by the external environment. At the same time, the coating layer 330 can also provide a certain mechanical strength to increase the durability of the pad 300.

[0052] The barrier layer 340 includes Ti; the thickness of the barrier layer 340 is 100nm to 500nm, and exemplary thicknesses are 120nm, 150nm, 180nm, 200nm, 220nm, 250nm, 270nm, 290nm, 300nm, 320nm, 350nm, 380nm, 400nm, 420nm, 450nm, 470nm, and 490nm, but are not limited to the above examples; the barrier layer 340 is a metal with a high melting point and a crystal structure different from that of metal Sn, and its purpose is to prevent Sn from further passing through the structure of the pad 300 when the pad 300 and the metal Sn are eutectic, thereby preventing the structure of the pad 300 from being destroyed and the electrode from falling off.

[0053] The magnetic attraction layer 350 includes Ni. The thickness of the magnetic attraction layer 350 is 300 nm to 5000 nm, and exemplary thicknesses are 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, 700 nm, 800 nm, 900 nm, 1000 nm, 1300 nm, 1500 nm, 1800 nm, 2000 nm, 2500 nm, 3000 nm, 3500 nm, 4000 nm, and 4500 nm, but are not limited to the above examples.

[0054] It should be noted that the traditional thinning technology uses wax to fix the wafer, while the grinder in the present invention uses a magnetic disk 400, and generates a magnetic adsorption effect with the special magnetic absorption layer 350 in the wafer to fix the wafer. The magnetic absorption layer 350 is used to fix the wafer. The subsequent grinder uses the magnetic disk 400 to absorb the magnetic absorption layer 350 of the Mini LED chip wafer to fix the wafer, and the wafer is fixed and unfixed by powering on. In other words, the magnetic disk 400 can be controlled by electricity to determine whether it is magnetic, and then the wafer is fixed by generating a magnetic effect with the magnetic absorption layer 350 in the wafer pad 300. After fixation, the wafer can be thinned to any desired thickness through thinning and polishing, and can be thinned to a thickness of less than 80μm, which is not achievable with traditional thinning technology.

[0055] A protective layer is also provided on the magnetic attraction layer 350, and the protective layer includes Au; the thickness of the protective layer is 10nm to 50nm, and exemplary thicknesses are 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, 35nm, and 40nm, but are not limited to the above enumeration; the protective layer is used to protect the magnetic attraction layer 350, and its thickness cannot be too thick, otherwise it will affect the magnetic effect of the magnetic attraction layer 350.

[0056] In some embodiments, the Mini LED chip wafer has an isolation groove design, which is formed by dry etching to remove the epitaxial layer to expose the substrate 100, and is used for cutting, thereby dividing the wafer into individual Mini LED chips.

[0057] (2) Figure 3 As shown, the Mini LED chip wafer is fixed on a grinder via a magnetic disk 400, and the substrate 100 of the Mini LED chip wafer is thinned to obtain a first wafer;

[0058] In some embodiments, fixing the Mini LED chip wafer on the grinder via a magnetic disk 400 includes: a magnetic disk 400 is provided on the grinder, and the magnetic disk 400 has magnetism after being powered on, so that the magnetic disk 400 and the Mini LED chip wafer are magnetically fixed.

[0059] In some embodiments, the thickness of the substrate 100 of the first wafer is ≤80 μm. Preferably, the thickness of the substrate 100 of the first wafer is ≤60 μm.

[0060] The grinder in the present invention uses a magnetic disk 400, and generates a magnetic adsorption effect with a special magnetic layer 350 in the wafer to fix the wafer. The magnetic layer 350 is used to fix the wafer. The subsequent grinder uses the magnetic disk 400 to adsorb the magnetic layer 350 of the Mini LED chip wafer to fix the wafer, and the wafer is fixed and unfixed by powering on. After fixing, the wafer is thinned to any desired thickness through thinning and polishing, and can be thinned to a thickness of less than 80μm, which is unattainable by traditional thinning technology.

[0061] (3) Figure 4 As shown, the temporary substrate 500 is bonded to the substrate 100 of the first wafer, and the magnetic disk 400 is separated from the first wafer to obtain a second wafer;

[0062] In some embodiments, the separation of the magnetic disk 400 and the first wafer is achieved by powering off the magnetic disk 400. After the thickness of the substrate 100 is reduced, the temporary base plate 500 is attached to the thinned wafer substrate 100. After the attachment, the magnetic disk 400 is powered off to make it lose its magnetism and not adsorb the wafer. Because of the temporary base plate 500, the wafer will not be warped.

[0063] In some embodiments, the temporary substrate 500 is a transparent substrate that can transmit UV light and infrared light; the thickness of the temporary substrate 500 is 20 μm to 100 μm, and exemplary thicknesses are 30 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, and 95 μm, but are not limited to the above. Due to the fixing effect of the temporary substrate 500, the thinned wafer will not warp.

[0064] In some embodiments, the temporary substrate 500 is bonded to the substrate 100 of the first wafer through a UV adhesive layer. The UV adhesive layer loses its adhesiveness under UV irradiation, which facilitates the subsequent peeling of the temporary substrate 500 and the Mini LED chip.

[0065] (4) cutting the second wafer to obtain a single Mini LED chip;

[0066] After thinning is completed, the next step is to cut the wafer. Figure 5As shown, the front side of the wafer is bonded to the blue film 600, and the sapphire substrate 100 of the wafer is cut using the laser hidden cutting technology, and the corresponding position is the isolation groove position. The wavelength used by the laser is an infrared wavelength, ranging from 900nm to 1600nm. The laser can pass through the temporary substrate 500 to produce a laser explosion point at the center thickness position of the substrate 100. After the hidden cutting is completed, the blue film side corresponding to the isolation groove position is then split to disconnect the substrate 100 at the laser explosion point. After the whole process is completed, the wafer cutting is completed.

[0067] During the entire cutting process, the temporary substrate 500 has a fixing function to prevent the wafer from being too warped and affecting the cutting yield. After the cutting is completed, the temporary substrate 100 is irradiated with UV light to complete the debonding of the temporary substrate 100, so that the UV adhesive layer loses its stickiness, thereby separating the substrate 100 and the temporary substrate 500. After the dissociation is completed, the wafer is turned over with a blue film to expose the front side of the wafer. After the film is turned over, the front side of the wafer, that is, the side with the pad 300, is exposed, and the spot measurement can be completed.

[0068] Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a Mini LED chip, which is manufactured by the Mini LED chip manufacturing method as described above.

[0069] To summarize, the preparation method of the Mini LED chip provided by the present invention, wherein the Mini LED chip wafer includes a substrate, a chip layer is sequentially arranged on the substrate, a soldering pad is arranged on the surface of the chip layer, and the soldering pad includes a magnetic attraction layer. The subsequent grinder uses a magnetic disk to absorb the magnetic attraction layer of the Mini LED chip wafer to fix the wafer, and the wafer is fixed and released by powering on. At the same time, a temporary substrate is used to fix the Mini LED chip wafer to avoid cracking and warping of the Mini LED chip wafer, reduce wafer fragments, and also avoid the problem of low cutting yield caused by wafer warping during cutting.
