Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application. The application number of the original application is 202410178180.6, and the original application date is February 8, 2024. The entire content of the original application is incorporated into this application by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to the field of light-emitting technology, and in particular to a photoelectric device, a light-emitting module, a preparation method and an electronic device. Background Art
[0003] Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have advantages such as long life, high brightness, and low power consumption, and are widely used in display, lighting, and projection applications. Typically, multiple LEDs are combined to form a photoelectric device. The electrodes of the LEDs in the device are connected to corresponding pins on a driver device, which then drives the LEDs to emit light. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide an optoelectronic device, a light-emitting module, a preparation method, and an electronic device for forming an optoelectronic device with high-density light-emitting pixels.
[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an optoelectronic device, comprising: a plurality of light-emitting pixels, a groove region, and an electrode metal layer, wherein each light-emitting pixel comprises a semiconductor functional layer and a first electrode, each semiconductor functional layer comprises a first semiconductor layer, and the plurality of light-emitting pixels share the first semiconductor layer. The groove region is formed in the semiconductor functional layer, the groove region is located between the plurality of light-emitting pixels, and the electrode metal layer is used to electrically connect to the second electrode. Furthermore, the groove region comprises a first groove portion and a second groove portion, and the electrode metal layer covers at least a portion of the surface of each light-emitting pixel, at least a portion of the first groove portion, and at least a portion of the second groove portion. The electrode metal layer is insulated from the semiconductor functional layer in the first groove portion, and the electrode metal layer is electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer in the second groove portion.
[0006] Since the second electrode in the prior art usually adopts a metal grid line, the width of the groove area needs to be relatively large. In the embodiment of the present application, by providing an electrode metal layer connected to the second electrode and electrically connecting the electrode metal layer to the first semiconductor layer in the second groove portion, the voltage in the second electrode can be input into the first semiconductor layer in each light-emitting pixel through the electrode metal layer, thereby powering the first semiconductor layer in each light-emitting pixel and reducing the number of interconnection points. In addition, by making the electrode metal layer cover not only at least a portion of the area of the first groove portion, but also at least a portion of the surface of each light-emitting pixel and at least a portion of the area of the second groove portion, the line width of the electrode metal layer is not limited by the size of the first groove portion, the conductive area of the electrode metal layer can be increased, the voltage drop of the electrode metal layer can be reduced, and the electrode metal layer can be made to withstand a higher current, so that the electrode metal layer meets the requirements of current expansion and improves the current uniformity of the light-emitting pixel. In addition, by insulating the electrode metal layer from the semiconductor functional layer in the first groove portion, that is, the electrode metal layer in the first groove portion does not need to contact the first semiconductor layer, so that there is no need to reserve a large area for the first groove portion, but it is only necessary to enable the first groove portion to achieve isolation between the light-emitting pixels, thereby compressing the width of the first groove portion, which can greatly reduce the occupation of the first groove portion on the active light-emitting area in the light-emitting pixel and increase the area of the active light-emitting area.
[0007] In addition, in general, the metal layer has strong light absorption. If a large area of the metal layer contacts the first semiconductor layer, light will be absorbed by the metal layer through the first semiconductor layer, reducing the luminous efficiency of the device. In the embodiment of the present application, the electrode metal layer is insulated from the semiconductor functional layer in the first groove portion, and the electrode metal layer contacts the first semiconductor layer in the second groove portion to achieve electrical connection. Compared with the prior art in which all the electrode metal layers in the groove area need to contact the first semiconductor layer, in the embodiment of the present application, the area ratio of the electrode metal layer in direct contact with the first semiconductor layer can be reduced, thereby reducing the absorption of light by the electrode metal layer and improving the luminous efficiency of the device.
[0008] In some embodiments, the sidewalls of the trench region having the second trench portion have a first dimension, and the sidewalls of the trench region having the first trench portion have a second dimension, with the maximum of the first dimensions being larger than the maximum of the second dimensions. This arrangement can reduce the size of the first trench portion in the trench region while leaving a certain amount of space in the trench region for the second trench portion, thereby increasing the electrical connection area between the electrode metal layer and the first semiconductor layer and improving power supply reliability.
[0009] In some embodiments, the first groove portion is located between adjacent light-emitting pixels, and the first groove portion also surrounds and communicates with the second groove portion. In this configuration, the electrode metal layer can extend in the first groove portion and the second groove portion.
[0010] In some embodiments, the groove region is arranged in a grid pattern, and at least some of the grid intersections in the grid pattern are provided with second groove portions. Thus, by providing the second groove portions at the grid intersections, all grid lines can be provided as first groove portions. The width of the first groove portions provided at the grid lines can then be compressed, thereby expanding the area of the active light-emitting area.
[0011] In some embodiments, the groove region is in a grid pattern, and the second groove portion is disposed on at least some of the grid lines in the grid pattern.
[0012] In some embodiments, the first trench portion accounts for greater than or equal to 50% of the trench region, and the first trench portion accounts for less than 100% of the trench region.
[0013] In some embodiments, the proportion of the second trench portion in the trench region is greater than 0, and the proportion of the second trench portion in the trench region is less than or equal to 50%.
[0014] In some embodiments, the electrode metal layer covers at least a portion of the bottom wall of the first trench portion. Exemplarily, the electrode metal layer covers the entire bottom wall of the first trench portion, thereby increasing the area of the electrode metal layer as much as possible and improving current uniformity.
[0015] In some embodiments, the electrode metal layer covers at least a portion of the bottom wall of the second groove portion. Exemplarily, the electrode metal layer covers the entire bottom wall of the second groove portion, thereby increasing the area of the electrode metal layer as much as possible and improving current uniformity.
[0016] In some embodiments, the portion of the electrode metal layer extending from the first groove portion to the second groove portion is stepped, which can reduce the risk of fracture of the electrode metal layer and improve reliability.
[0017] In some embodiments, a first dielectric layer is disposed between the electrode metal layer and the bottom wall of the first trench portion. Thus, the first dielectric layer insulates the electrode metal layer from the bottom wall of the first trench portion. Furthermore, by reusing the first dielectric layer and elevating the electrode metal layer, the electrode metal layer can be extended along the first dielectric layer to the bottom wall of the second trench portion, thereby forming a stepped portion of the electrode metal layer extending from the first trench portion to the second trench portion.
[0018] In some embodiments, the first semiconductor layer is protruded in areas corresponding to the light-emitting pixels, and the first semiconductor layers of adjacent light-emitting pixels are recessed to form a trench region. Furthermore, the first semiconductor layer between adjacent light-emitting pixels forms the bottom wall of the trench region, and the sidewalls of the protruding areas of the first semiconductor layer form at least a portion of the sidewalls of the trench region. Thus, the protruding first semiconductor layers in different light-emitting pixels can be separated by the trench region, i.e., a groove is formed in the shared first semiconductor layer to serve as part of the trench region.

The light-emitting layer is disposed on the protruding first semiconductor layer, and the second semiconductor layer is disposed on the light-emitting layer.

Furthermore, the sidewalls of the protruding region of the first semiconductor layer, the sidewalls of the light-emitting layer, and the sidewalls of the second semiconductor layer form the sidewalls of the groove region, that is, the groove completely isolates the light-emitting layer and the second semiconductor layer between adjacent pixels. With this arrangement, the groove region can be used to separate the light-emitting layer and the second semiconductor layer in different light-emitting pixels.

The second dielectric layer also covers the sidewalls of the current spreading layer. The electrode metal layer also covers the second dielectric layer on the sidewalls of the current spreading layer.

This arrangement allows the electrode metal layer to extend along the sidewalls of the second semiconductor layer to the portion of the first surface, forming a stepped shape. Furthermore, the area of the electrode metal layer can be further increased, thereby improving current uniformity.
[0025] In some embodiments, the first electrode includes a first electrode connection layer and a first electrode pad layer connected to each other, the first electrode connection layer is arranged between the first electrode pad layer and the current spreading layer, and the first electrode connection layer is connected to the current spreading layer through the second contact hole and the third contact hole.
[0026] In some embodiments, in the stacking direction of the light-emitting layer and the second semiconductor layer, a distance between an outer boundary of the first electrode connection layer and an outer boundary of the second contact hole is greater than zero. In the stacking direction of the light-emitting layer and the second semiconductor layer, the first electrode connection layer covers the second contact hole, or in the stacking direction of the light-emitting layer and the second semiconductor layer, the first electrode connection layer is disposed within the second contact hole.
[0027] In some embodiments, in the stacking direction of the light emitting layer and the second semiconductor layer, the first electrode pad layer covers the second contact hole, and a passivation layer is provided between the first electrode pad layer and the electrode metal layer, thereby achieving an insulating setting.
[0028] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the first electrode connection layer in the stacking direction of the light-emitting layer and the second semiconductor layer has a first groove, and a portion of the first electrode pad layer fills the first groove. This configuration embeds a portion of the first electrode pad layer in the first groove, forming a stepped pad and improving reliability.
[0029] In some embodiments, the optoelectronic device further comprises: one or more boss structures, each boss structure having a second surface, with a second electrode disposed on the second surface. This configuration elevates the second electrode via the boss structure, and when the first electrode and the second electrode are interconnected to the driver device using the interconnect structure, the length difference between the interconnect structure connected to the first electrode and the interconnect structure connected to the second electrode can be minimized, thereby reducing the risk of device failure and improving the reliability of the interconnection between the optoelectronic device and the driver device.
[0030] In some embodiments, a groove region is further provided between the platform structure and the light-emitting pixel. For example, the groove structure provided between the platform structure and the light-emitting pixel may include only the first groove portion, the second groove portion, or both.

[0032] In some embodiments, the electrode metal layer also covers the sidewalls of the boss structure. This arrangement can further increase the area of the electrode metal layer and improve the current uniformity of the light-emitting pixel.
[0033] In some embodiments, the second electrode includes a second electrode connection layer and a second electrode pad layer that are interconnected, with the second electrode connection layer disposed between the second electrode pad layer and the platform structure. Furthermore, the second electrode connection layer covers at least a portion of the second surface, and the electrode metal layer and the second electrode connection layer are interconnected.

[0038] In some embodiments, the platform structure is a multilayer structure, and includes a semiconductor functional layer and a current spreading layer disposed on the semiconductor functional layer. This arrangement allows the platform structure to be formed simultaneously with the semiconductor functional layer and the current spreading layer.

[0093] The optoelectronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the first embodiment.
[0094] Example 1:
[0095] In practical applications, optoelectronic devices can be formed using multiple light-emitting pixels. Typically, each light-emitting pixel includes a semiconductor functional layer, a positive electrode, and a negative electrode. The positive electrode and negative electrode are usually arranged on the same side of the semiconductor function, and the positive electrode and negative electrode of each light-emitting pixel are interconnected with the positive electrode solder pin and the negative electrode solder pin of the driver device, respectively, resulting in a large number of interconnection points and increasing the difficulty of the process. To this end, metal grid lines are arranged in the groove area 400 between the semiconductor functional layers of each light-emitting pixel, and the metal grid lines are in contact with the N-type semiconductor layer in the semiconductor functional layer of each light-emitting pixel. The metal grid lines are used to power the N-type semiconductor layer of each light-emitting pixel. During the process preparation, in order to enable the metal grid lines to contact the N-type semiconductor layer in the groove area 400, the groove area 400 needs to have a certain width. Moreover, based on the current expansion requirements of the metal grid lines, the metal grid lines need to have a certain metal line width, which further increases the width of the groove area 400 (usually the width of the groove area 400 can reach 5um to 10um), thereby causing the active light-emitting area of the light-emitting pixel to be largely occupied by the groove area 400, thereby reducing the area of the active light-emitting area of the light-emitting pixel.
[0096] To this end, embodiments of the present application provide an optoelectronic device that significantly reduces the amount of active light-emitting area of a pixel occupied by the trench region 400, thereby increasing the active light-emitting area of the pixel. Furthermore, the conductive area of the electrode metal layer 230 is increased to meet current expansion requirements, thereby enabling the electrode metal layer 230 to withstand higher currents.
[0097] Figure 2a A schematic diagram of a top view of the optoelectronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2b for Figure 2a A top view of the trench area shown in FIG. Figure 2c This is another top view of the groove area in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3a for Figure 2a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the AA' direction, Figure 3b for Figure 2a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the BB' direction, Figure 3c for Figure 2a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along CC' direction. Figures 2a to 3c The optoelectronic device 10 includes: a plurality of light-emitting pixels 200, a groove region 400 and an electrode metal layer 230, wherein each light-emitting pixel 200 includes a semiconductor functional layer 210 and a first electrode 220, each semiconductor functional layer 210 includes a first semiconductor layer 211, a light-emitting layer 212 and a second semiconductor layer 213 stacked, the second semiconductor layer 213 is electrically connected to the first electrode 220, and the electrode metal layer 230 is electrically connected to the second electrode ( Figure 2a (not shown) electrical connection.
[0098] Furthermore, a trench region 400 is formed in the semiconductor functional layer 210 and may be located between a plurality of light-emitting pixels 200. The trench region 400 may include a first trench portion 401 and a second trench portion 402. The electrode metal layer 230 covers at least a portion of the surface of each light-emitting pixel 200, at least a portion of the first trench portion 401, and at least a portion of the second trench portion 402. Furthermore, the electrode metal layer 230 is insulated from the semiconductor functional layer in the first trench portion 401 and electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer 211 in the second trench portion 402.
[0099] Since the second electrode in the prior art typically utilizes metal grid lines, the width of the groove region 400 needs to be relatively large. In the embodiment of the present application, by providing an electrode metal layer 230 connected to the second electrode and electrically connecting the electrode metal layer 230 to the first semiconductor layer 211 in the second groove portion 402, the voltage of the second electrode can be input to the first semiconductor layer 211 in each light-emitting pixel through the electrode metal layer 230, thereby powering the first semiconductor layer 211 in each light-emitting pixel and reducing the number of interconnection points. Furthermore, by ensuring that the electrode metal layer 230 covers not only at least a portion of the first groove portion 401 but also at least a portion of the surface of each light-emitting pixel 200 and at least a portion of the second groove portion 402, the line width of the electrode metal layer 230 is not limited by the size of the first groove portion 401. This increases the conductive area of the electrode metal layer 230, reduces the voltage drop across the electrode metal layer 230, and enables the electrode metal layer 230 to withstand higher currents, thereby meeting the current spreading requirements and improving the current uniformity of the light-emitting pixels. Furthermore, by insulating the electrode metal layer 230 from the semiconductor functional layer in the first groove portion 401, that is, the electrode metal layer 230 in the first groove portion 401 does not need to contact the first semiconductor layer 211, there is no need to reserve a large area for the first groove portion 401. Instead, it is only necessary to enable the first groove portion 401 to achieve isolation between the luminous pixels, thereby compressing the width of the first groove portion 401, which can greatly reduce the occupation of the first groove portion 401 on the active light-emitting area in the light-emitting pixel, thereby increasing the area of the active light-emitting area.
[0100] In addition, in general, the metal layer has strong light absorption. If a large area of the metal layer contacts the first semiconductor layer 211, light will be absorbed by the metal layer through the first semiconductor layer 211, reducing the luminous efficiency of the device. In the embodiment of the present application, the electrode metal layer 230 is insulated from the semiconductor functional layer in the first groove portion 401, and the electrode metal layer 230 contacts the first semiconductor layer 211 in the second groove portion 402 to achieve electrical connection. Compared with the prior art in which the entire electrode metal layer 230 in the groove area 400 needs to contact the first semiconductor layer 211, in the embodiment of the present application, the area ratio of the electrode metal layer 230 in direct contact with the first semiconductor layer 211 can be reduced, thereby reducing the absorption of light by the electrode metal layer 230 and improving the luminous efficiency of the device.
[0101] Continue to refer to Figures 2a to 3c The plurality of light-emitting pixels 200 share the first semiconductor layer 211. For example, the first semiconductor layer 211 is a film layer laid over the entire surface, and the areas of the first semiconductor layer 211 corresponding to the light-emitting pixels 200 are protruding, and the first semiconductor layers 211 of adjacent light-emitting pixels 200 are recessed to form a groove region 400. That is, the first semiconductor layer 211 has a protruding portion, and the protruding portion is provided in the area where the light-emitting pixels 200 are located. Then, the first semiconductor layer 211 between adjacent light-emitting pixels 200 forms the bottom wall of the groove region 400, and the sidewalls of the protruding areas of the first semiconductor layer 211 form at least part of the sidewalls of the groove region 400. Thus, the protruding first semiconductor layers 211 located in different light-emitting pixels can be separated by the groove region 400.
[0102] Furthermore, the light-emitting layer 212 is located on the protruding portion, and the second semiconductor layer 213 is disposed on the light-emitting layer 212. Thus, the sidewalls of the protruding region of the first semiconductor layer 211, the sidewalls of the light-emitting layer 212, and the sidewalls of the second semiconductor layer 213 form the sidewalls of the groove region 400. With this arrangement, the groove region 400 can be used to separate the light-emitting layer 212 and the second semiconductor layer 213 in different light-emitting pixels 200.
[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, the first semiconductor layer 211 is an N-type semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer 213 is a P-type semiconductor layer. The first electrode 220 can be set as the positive electrode and the second electrode can be set as the negative electrode. The second semiconductor layer 213 is electrically connected to the first electrode 220, the first semiconductor layer 211 in the semiconductor functional layer 210 is electrically connected to the electrode metal layer 230, and the electrode metal layer 230 is electrically connected to the second electrode. Based on this, a first voltage is transmitted to the second semiconductor layer 213 through the first electrode 220, and a second voltage is transmitted to the first semiconductor layer 211 through the second electrode and the electrode metal layer 230, thereby driving the light-emitting layer 212 to emit light, so that the light-emitting pixel 200 emits light. In some other embodiments of the present application, the first semiconductor layer 211 can also be a P-type semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer 213 can be an N-type semiconductor layer, which is not limited here.
[0104] The first semiconductor layer 211 can have a single-layer structure, for example, comprising a GaN layer or an AlGaN layer. Alternatively, the first semiconductor layer 211 can have a multi-layer structure, for example, comprising a combination of a GaN layer and an AlGaN layer, wherein a GaN layer and an AlGaN layer are alternately stacked, or multiple GaN layers and multiple AlGaN layers are alternately stacked. For example, the Al content in the first semiconductor layer 211 is 0% to 30%, for example, 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, etc., without limitation herein. Furthermore, the thickness of the first semiconductor layer 211 is 200nm to 5um, for example, 200nm, 500nm, 1um, 1.5um, 2um, 2.5um, 3um, 3.5um, 4um, 4.5um, 5um, etc., without limitation herein.
[0105] The light-emitting layer 212 is a multilayer structure. For example, the light-emitting layer 212 can be a combination of two or three of an InGaN layer, a GaN layer, and an AlGaN layer, and any stacking thereof. Exemplarily, the In component content in the light-emitting layer 212 is 0% to 50%, for example, the In component content is 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, etc., which is not limited here. And, the Al component content is 0% to 50%, for example, the Al component content is 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, etc., which is not limited here. Also, the thickness of the light emitting layer 212 is 50 nm to 500 nm. For example, the thickness of the light emitting layer 212 is 50 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, 500 nm, etc., which is not limited here.
[0106] The second semiconductor layer 213 can be a single-layer structure, for example, the second semiconductor layer 213 includes a GaN layer or an AlGaN layer. Alternatively, the second semiconductor layer 213 can be a multi-layer structure, for example, the second semiconductor layer 213 includes a combination of a GaN layer and an AlGaN layer, wherein a GaN layer and an AlGaN layer are alternately stacked, or multiple GaN layers and multiple AlGaN layers are alternately stacked. Exemplarily, the Al component content in the second semiconductor layer 213 is 0% to 30%, for example, the Al component content is 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, etc., which is not limited here. Furthermore, the thickness of the second semiconductor layer 213 is 50nm to 500nm, for example, the thickness of the second semiconductor layer 213 is 50nm, 100nm, 150nm, 200nm, 250nm, 300nm, 350nm, 400nm, 450nm, 500nm, etc., which is not limited here.
[0107] Reference Figures 3a to 3c The optoelectronic device 10 further includes a buffer layer 250, which is located on the side of the first semiconductor layer 211 facing away from the light emitting layer 212. Exemplarily, the buffer layer 250 can be a single-layer structure, for example, the buffer layer 250 includes an AlN layer, a GaN layer or an AlGaN layer. Alternatively, the buffer layer 250 can also be a multi-layer structure, for example, the buffer layer 250 includes a combination of two or three of an AlN layer, a GaN layer and an AlGaN layer. Exemplarily, the thickness of the buffer layer 250 is 200nm to 10um, for example, the thickness of the buffer layer 250 is 200nm, 500nm, 800nm, 1um, 1.5um, 5um, 10um, etc., which is not limited here. It is understandable that the area of the active light-emitting area in the light-emitting pixel can be the area of the positive projection of the light-emitting layer on the buffer layer 250.
[0108] Based on the above, the light-emitting pixel 200 can be formed as a GaN-type LED. Furthermore, since micro-light-emitting diodes (Micro LEDs) and mini-light-emitting diodes (Mini LEDs) not only have the long life, high brightness, and low power consumption characteristics of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), but also have advantages such as ultra-high resolution, high color saturation, and nanosecond response speed, in some embodiments of the present application, the light-emitting pixel 200 can also be formed as a GaN-type MicroLED or GaN-type Mini LED.
[0109] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figures 3a to 3cThe electrode metal layer 230 also covers the sidewalls of the protruding portion of the first semiconductor layer 211, the sidewalls of the light-emitting layer 212, and the sidewalls of the second semiconductor layer 213, so as to further increase the area of the electrode metal layer 230 and further improve the current uniformity. For example, the electrode metal layer 230 may fully wrap the sidewalls of the protruding portion of the first semiconductor layer 211, the sidewalls of the light-emitting layer 212, and the sidewalls of the second semiconductor layer 213. In other embodiments of the present application, the electrode metal layer 230 may also only cover a portion of the sidewalls of the protruding portion of the first semiconductor layer 211, the sidewalls of the light-emitting layer 212, and the sidewalls of the second semiconductor layer 213, that is, the electrode metal layer 230 does not completely cover the sidewalls. For example, if the orthographic projection of the semiconductor functional layer 210 on the buffer layer 250 is rectangular, the area not covered by the electrode metal layer 230 may be the corners of the adjacent two side walls of the semiconductor functional layer 210. Alternatively, the area not covered by the electrode metal layer 230 may be any side of the sidewalls of the semiconductor functional layer 210. For semiconductor functional layers 210 of other shapes, the same may be applied for reference and will not be described in detail here.
[0110] Continue to refer to Figures 3a to 3c In order to insulate the electrode metal layer 230 from the sidewalls of the protruding portion of the first semiconductor layer 211, the sidewalls of the light-emitting layer 212, and the sidewalls of the second semiconductor layer 213, a second dielectric layer 321 may be further provided between the electrode metal layer 230 and the sidewalls of the protruding portion of the first semiconductor layer 211, the sidewalls of the light-emitting layer 212, and the sidewalls of the second semiconductor layer 213. Exemplarily, the second dielectric layer 321 is a single-layer dielectric thin film structure or a multi-layer dielectric thin film composite structure, wherein the materials of the single-layer dielectric thin film structure and the multi-layer dielectric thin film composite structure include, but are not limited to, SiO2, Al2O3, MgF2, TiO2, Ta2O5, ZrO2, SiN, and the like.
[0111] Continue to refer to Figures 3a to 3c The luminescent pixel 200 further includes a current spreading layer 214, which is disposed on the second semiconductor layer 213. Furthermore, the second dielectric layer 321 also covers the sidewalls of the current spreading layer 214, and the electrode metal layer 230 also covers the second dielectric layer 321 on the sidewalls of the current spreading layer 214. This configuration further increases the area of the electrode metal layer 230 and further improves the current uniformity. Exemplarily, the current spreading layer 214 includes one or a combination of a metal conductive layer and a transparent conductive layer to improve the current uniformity. Exemplarily, the metal conductive layer includes one or more of Ni, Ag, and Au. For example, the metal conductive layer includes Ni and Ag, or the metal conductive layer includes Ni and Au. Exemplarily, the transparent conductive layer is a metal oxide transparent conductive film, for example, the metal oxide transparent conductive film includes: indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO).
[0112] Furthermore, when the current spreading layer 214 is configured as a transparent conductive layer, the average refractive index of the current spreading layer 214 and the refractive index of the second dielectric layer 321 can be smaller than the refractive index of the first semiconductor layer 211, and the average refractive index of the current spreading layer 214 and the refractive index of the second dielectric layer 321 can be smaller than the refractive index of the second semiconductor layer 213. With this configuration, the current spreading layer 214 and the second dielectric layer 321 can be reused as a reflective layer, reflecting a portion of the light, further improving the light extraction efficiency of the device. Furthermore, when the electrode metal layer 230 is configured as a metal layer, the current spreading layer 214, the second dielectric layer 321, and the electrode metal layer 230 can be combined to reduce the defect of the metal layer absorbing some light, resulting in low luminous efficiency. Furthermore, the thickness of the luminescent pixel 200 can be reduced overall, facilitating the miniaturization of the luminescent pixel 200. Furthermore, to consider the thickness of the light-emitting pixel 200, the total thickness of the current spreading layer 214 and the second dielectric layer 321 can be set to 200 nm to 1000 nm. For example, the total thickness of the current spreading layer 214 and the second dielectric layer 321 can be set to 200 nm, 400 nm, 600 nm, 800 nm, 1000 nm, etc., without limitation herein. Furthermore, when the current spreading layer 214 is configured as a metallic conductive layer, it can directly reflect light emitted from the light-emitting layer 212 toward the first surface S1, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the device.
[0113] Generally speaking, metal materials have a high reflectivity. Figures 3a to 3c, the electrode metal layer 230 can also be reused as a reflective layer, so as to reflect as much light emitted by the semiconductor functional layer 210 as possible to the light-emitting side, thereby improving the light-emitting efficiency of the device. Exemplarily, the electrode metal layer 230 can be a single-layer metal or a multi-layer metal. In practical applications, suitable metal materials, such as Al, Ag, etc., can be selected according to the reflectivity required for the wavelength of the light emitted by the light-emitting pixel 200. Alternatively, the electrode metal layer 230 can be set to a suitable metal combination stack according to the current conduction requirements. For example, the electrode metal layer 230 is set to a metal semiconductor functional layer composed of metals such as Au, Al, Ti, Pt, Ni, Cr, Ag, and their combinations. Among them, in order to improve the reflection performance, the metal material with high reflectivity for the light emitted by the light-emitting pixel 200 in the metal semiconductor functional layer, such as Al, Ag, etc., can be close to the second dielectric layer 321. Furthermore, in order to improve the adhesion and electrical contact performance of the metal semiconductor functional layer, a contact layer or adhesion layer is provided between the high-reflectivity metal material and the second dielectric layer 321 to improve the bonding strength between the electrode metal layer 230 and the second dielectric layer 321 and reduce the contact resistance. The material of the contact layer or adhesion layer is Ti, Cr, Ni, etc., and the thickness of the contact layer or adhesion layer is 0.1nm to 5nm. For example, the thickness of the contact layer or adhesion layer is 0.1nm, 0.5nm, 1nm, 1.5nm, 2nm, 2.5nm, 3nm, 3.5nm, 4nm, 4.5nm, 5nm, etc., which are not limited here. It is understood that the light-emitting side is the side of the first semiconductor layer 211 facing away from the active layer. In addition, the electrode metal layer 230 is set as a metal layer, which can also provide heat dissipation function, avoid local overheating, and have better reliability under the thermal cycle impact in the subsequent process.
[0114] Continue to refer to Figures 3a to 3c The portion of the electrode metal layer 230 extending from the sidewall of the second semiconductor layer 213 to the side of the current spreading layer 214 facing away from the light-emitting layer has a double-stepped shape, which facilitates stress release, reduces the risk of fracture of the electrode metal layer 230 when extending from the sidewall of the second semiconductor layer 213 to the current spreading layer 214, and improves reliability. For example, the side of the second semiconductor layer 213 facing away from the light-emitting layer 212 comprises a first region BB1 and a second region BB2. The first region BB1 surrounds the second region BB2, and the current spreading layer 214 covers the second region BB2. Furthermore, the second dielectric layer 321 also covers the first region BB1. The second dielectric layer 321 extends along the sidewall of the second semiconductor layer 213 to the first region BB1, and then extends through the first region BB1 to the sidewall of the current spreading layer 214. Furthermore, the electrode metal layer 230 also covers the second dielectric layer 321 located on the first region BB1. Therefore, the electrode metal layer 230 extends along the second dielectric layer 321 to the sidewall of the current spreading layer 214.
[0115] Continue to refer to Figures 3a to 3c The surface of the current spreading layer 214 facing away from the second semiconductor layer 213 is the first surface S1. The electrode metal layer 230 also extends to cover the first surface S1 and encloses a second contact hole 332 on the first surface S1, further increasing the area of the electrode metal layer 230 and improving current uniformity. Furthermore, the second dielectric layer 321 also extends to cover the first surface S1 and encloses a third contact hole 333 inside the second contact hole 332. That is, the electrode metal layer 230 encloses the second contact hole 332 when there is a predetermined spacing SP from the third contact hole 333. Based on this, the first electrode 220 can be electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer 213 through the second contact hole 332 and the third contact hole 333, while the first electrode 220 is insulated from the electrode metal layer 230. This configuration insulates the electrode metal layer 230 from the semiconductor functional layer 210 via the second dielectric layer 321, and improves the adhesion of the electrode metal layer 230. Furthermore, when the electrode metal layer 230 is a metal layer, it can further reflect as much light as possible emitted from the first surface S1 of the semiconductor functional layer 210 to the light-emitting side, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the device. Furthermore, the spacing SP can be determined based on the needs of the actual application scenario and is not limited here.
[0116] Furthermore, this configuration allows the second dielectric layer 321 to have a double-stepped shape in the portion extending from the sidewall of the second semiconductor layer 213 to the first surface S1, reducing the risk of fracture of the second dielectric layer 321. Because the electrode metal layer 230 extends along the surface of the second dielectric layer 321 to the second contact hole 332, the portion of the electrode metal layer 230 extending from the sidewall of the second semiconductor layer 213 to the first surface S1 can also have a double-stepped shape, reducing the risk of fracture of the electrode metal layer 230. Furthermore, this configuration allows the electrode metal layer 230 to conform to the semiconductor functional layer 210, allowing the electrode metal layer 230 to cover the gaps between the light-emitting pixels 200. When the electrode metal layer 230 is configured as a metal layer, it can further reflect as much light as possible emitted from the sidewall of the semiconductor functional layer 210 and the first surface S1 to the light-emitting side, thereby improving reflection efficiency and the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting pixels 200.
[0117] In some embodiments of the present application, the electrode metal layer 230 on the first surface S1 can be a full-surface structure, and the second contact hole 332 is formed in the full-surface structure, that is, the electrode metal layer 230 exposes the area of the first surface S1 in the area where the second contact hole 332 is located. Alternatively, not only the second contact hole 332 is formed in the full-surface structure, but also other contact holes or openings can be formed in the full-surface structure, that is, the electrode metal layer 230 exposes not only the area of the first surface S1 in the area where the second contact hole 332 is located, but also the area of the first surface S1 in the areas where the other contact holes or openings are located. For example, if the orthographic projection of the semiconductor functional layer 210 is rectangular, the area not covered by the electrode metal layer 230 can be the area from the corner of the adjacent two sidewalls of the semiconductor functional layer 210 to the second contact hole 332. Alternatively, the area not covered by the electrode metal layer 230 can also be the area from any sidewall of the semiconductor functional layer 210 to the second contact hole 332. For semiconductor functional layers 210 of other shapes, please refer to the above for understanding, and will not be described in detail.
[0118] Continue to refer to Figures 2a to 3c The first electrode 220 may include a first electrode connection layer 221 and a first electrode pad layer 222 connected to each other. The first electrode connection layer 221 is disposed between the first electrode pad layer 222 and the current spreading layer 214. The first electrode connection layer 221 is connected to the current spreading layer 214 through the second contact hole 332 and the third contact hole 333, thereby electrically connecting the first electrode connection layer 221 to the second semiconductor layer 213 through the current spreading layer 214. By way of example, the materials of the first electrode connection layer 221 and the first electrode pad layer 222 may each include one or a combination of Au, Al, Ti, Pt, Ni, Cr, Ag, Sn, AuSn, etc. Among them, the material of the first electrode pad layer 222 may be AuSn to reduce contact resistance and improve connection reliability.
[0119] Reference Figures 2a to 3c In the stacking direction F0 between the light-emitting layer 212 and the second semiconductor layer 213, the first electrode connection layer 221 has an outer boundary Y221, and the second contact hole 332 also has an outer boundary Y332. The distance between the outer boundary Y221 and the outer boundary Y332 can be greater than zero. Furthermore, the first electrode connection layer 221 can be disposed within the second contact hole 332 in the stacking direction F0. This arrangement retracts the first electrode connection layer 221 within the second contact hole 332, and a gap exists between the first electrode connection layer 221 and the electrode metal layer 230 at the sidewalls of the second contact hole 332, thereby insulating the first electrode connection layer 221 from the electrode metal layer 230.
[0120] Furthermore, the first electrode connection layer 221 and the electrode metal layer 230 are arranged in different layers, and a passivation layer 240 is provided between the first electrode connection layer 221 and the electrode metal layer 230. The passivation layer 240 also covers the electrode metal layer 230 and extends from the first surface S1 to the third contact hole 333, thereby allowing the first electrode connection layer 221 to not only cover the bottom wall of the third contact hole 333 but also extend along the sidewalls of the third contact hole 333 to the periphery of the opening of the third contact hole 333. With this arrangement, the portion of the first electrode connection layer 221 extending from the bottom wall of the third contact hole 333 to the periphery of the opening of the third contact hole 333 can be formed in a stepped shape, reducing the risk of fracture of the first electrode connection layer 221 and improving reliability. Furthermore, the periphery of the opening of the third contact hole 333 refers to a small portion of the edge of the opening of the third contact hole 333. Alternatively, the first electrode connection layer 221 may be formed when the electrode metal layer 230 is formed, that is, the first electrode connection layer 221 and the electrode metal layer 230 are formed in the same layer and material, thereby reducing the difficulty of process preparation. In addition, in order to further insulate the first electrode connection layer 221 from the electrode metal layer 230, a passivation layer 240 may be covered on the electrode metal layer 230, and the passivation layer 240 may be filled in the gap between the first electrode connection layer 221 and the electrode metal layer 230 at the sidewall of the second groove portion 402. In addition, the specific value of the distance between the outer boundary of the first electrode orthographic projection Y221 and the outer boundary of the second contact hole orthographic projection Y332 can be determined according to the requirements of the actual application scenario and is not limited here.
[0121] Reference Figures 2a to 3c In the stacking direction F0, due to the gap between the first electrode connection layer 221 and the electrode metal layer 230, the first electrode pad layer 222 covers the second contact hole 332 to further improve luminous efficiency. With this arrangement, the first electrode pad layer 222 blocks the gap between the first electrode connection layer 221 and the electrode metal layer 230, thereby reflecting as much light as possible from the light-emitting layer 212 toward the current spreading layer 214 toward the light-emitting side, thereby improving reflection efficiency. Furthermore, the first electrode pad layer 222 can partially or entirely cover the second contact hole 332.
[0122] In addition, in order to insulate the first electrode pad layer 222 from the electrode metal layer 230, a passivation layer 240 is provided between the first electrode pad layer 222 and the electrode metal layer 230. Figures 3a to 3cThe cross-section of the first electrode connection layer 221 in the stacking direction F0 has a first groove AX1, and a partial area of the first electrode pad layer 222 fills the first groove AX1. Thus, a partial area of the first electrode pad layer 222 is embedded in the first groove AX1 to form a stepped pad, thereby improving reliability.
[0123] Continue to refer to Figures 3a to 3c , the first electrode 220 covers at least a portion of the first surface S1. In addition, an angle β is formed between the side wall of the semiconductor functional layer 210 and the first surface S1, and the angle β is toward one side of the semiconductor functional layer 210, and the angle β is set to a right angle. It is worth mentioning that the right angle defined in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to an absolute 90-degree relationship. It is allowed that the relationship is not an absolute 90-degree relationship due to factors such as assembly tolerance, design tolerance, and the influence of structural flatness, and an error in a small angle range is allowed. For example, 89 degrees to 91 degrees can be understood as a 90-degree relationship within the assembly error range, and the rest are similar and will not be repeated one by one. It can be understood that the side wall of the semiconductor functional layer 210 corresponding to the angle β is composed of the side wall of the protruding part of the first semiconductor layer 211, the side wall of the light-emitting layer 212, and the side wall of the second semiconductor layer 213.
[0124] Continue to refer to Figures 2a to 3c The first groove portion 401 is located between adjacent light-emitting pixels 200, and the first groove portion 401 also surrounds and communicates with the second groove portion 402. In this configuration, the electrode metal layer 230 can extend in the first groove portion 401 and the second groove portion 402.
[0125] In some embodiments of the present application, the electrode metal layer 230 may completely cover the bottom wall of the first trench portion 401, that is, the entire bottom wall area of the first trench portion 401 is covered by the electrode metal layer 230. In other embodiments of the present application, the electrode metal layer 230 may only cover a portion of the bottom wall area of the first trench portion 401, that is, the electrode metal layer 230 does not cover the entire bottom wall area of the first trench portion 401, as long as it can ensure connectivity with the first semiconductor layer 211.
[0126] In some embodiments of the present application, the electrode metal layer 230 may completely cover the bottom wall of the second trench portion 402, thereby increasing the contact area between the electrode metal layer 230 and the first semiconductor layer 211. In other embodiments of the present application, the electrode metal layer 230 may only cover a portion of the bottom wall of the second trench portion 402. In other words, the electrode metal layer 230 does not cover the entire bottom wall of the second trench portion 402, as long as the electrode metal layer 230 and the first semiconductor layer 211 are electrically connected.
[0127] In some embodiments of the present application, reference Figures 3a to 3c A first dielectric layer 322 is disposed between the electrode metal layer 230 and the bottom wall of the first trench portion 401. That is, the bottom wall of the first trench portion 401 is completely covered by the first dielectric layer 322, while the bottom wall of the second trench portion 402 is not covered by the first dielectric layer 322. Instead, the bottom wall of the second trench portion 402 is covered by the electrode metal layer 230. It is worth mentioning that when the first dielectric layer 322 is disposed, if the electrode metal layer 230 completely covers the first dielectric layer 322, it can also be equivalent to the electrode metal layer 230 covering the entire area of the bottom wall of the first trench portion 401. Furthermore, the first dielectric layer 322 and the second dielectric layer 321 can be formed of the same film layer, that is, the first dielectric layer 322 and the second dielectric layer 321 are provided in the same layer and material, and the first dielectric layer 322 and the second dielectric layer 321 are an integrated structure.
[0128] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2b Instead of providing the second groove portion 402 throughout the entire first groove portion 401, the second groove portion 402 is provided only in a portion of the first groove portion 401. The dimension W404 of the first groove portion 401 not provided with the second groove portion 402 can be reduced. For example, W404 can be set to less than or equal to 2 μm, thereby expanding the area of the active light-emitting area. For example, W404 can be set to 2 μm, 1.8 μm, 1.5 μm, etc. The specific value can be determined based on the actual application scenario and is not limited here.
[0129] Reference Figure 2a and Figure 2b , the light-emitting pixels 200 are spaced apart from each other and arranged in an array, so that the groove area 400 is a grid pattern 420. For example, referring to Figure 2c , Figure 2c This is another top view of the groove region in the embodiment of the present application. A second groove portion 402 may be provided on at least part of the grid lines of the grid pattern 420, or, referring to FIG. Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b as well as Figure 3b , a second groove portion 402 may also be provided at at least a portion of the grid intersection region of the grid pattern 420. For example, referring to Figure 2a and Figure 2b, a second groove portion 402 may be provided in some grid intersection regions in the grid pattern 420. For example, the grid intersection regions of the grid pattern 420 include a plurality of first intersection regions 411 and a plurality of second intersection regions 412, wherein the first intersection regions 411 are provided with second groove portions 402, i.e., the first intersection regions 411 are provided with both first groove portions 401 and second groove portions 402, and the first groove portions 401 in the first intersection regions 411 surround the second groove portions 402. However, the second intersection regions 412 are not provided with second groove portions 402, i.e., the second intersection regions are all first groove portions 401. For example, referring to Figure 4a , Figure 4a An equivalent structural diagram of a grid pattern provided in an embodiment of the present application can make the first intersection area 411 and the second intersection area 412 alternately arranged along the first direction F1, and the first intersection area 411 and the second intersection area 412 are also alternately arranged along the second direction F2, and the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 intersect, so that the first intersection area 411 and the second intersection area 412 can be arranged in a checkerboard manner, so that the first intersection area 411 and the second intersection area 412 can be dispersed as evenly as possible to improve the uniformity of conductivity. Alternatively, refer to Figure 4b , Figure 4b Another equivalent structural diagram of the grid pattern provided in the embodiment of the present application can also make two first intersection areas 411 and two second intersection areas 412 alternately arranged along the first direction F1, and make two first intersection areas 411 and two second intersection areas 412 alternately arranged along the second direction F2. Of course, it is also possible to make three or more first intersection areas 411 and three or more second intersection areas 412 alternately arranged along the first direction F1, and make three or more first intersection areas 411 and three or more second intersection areas 412 alternately arranged along the second direction F2, which is not limited here. Alternatively, refer to Figure 4c , Figure 4c Another equivalent structural diagram of the grid pattern provided in the embodiment of the present application can also be that the intersection areas of a row arranged along the first direction F1 are all set as first intersection areas 411, and the intersection areas of another row arranged along the first direction F1 are all set as second intersection areas 412, and the first intersection areas 411 and the second intersection areas 412 are alternately arranged along the second direction F2. Alternatively, refer to Figure 4d , Figure 4d Another equivalent structural diagram of the grid pattern provided in the embodiment of the present application is that the second groove portion 402 can also be provided in all grid intersection areas in the grid pattern 420. It is worth mentioning that, Figures 4a to 4dThe following examples illustrate some arrangements of the first intersection region 411 and the second intersection region 412. Other arrangements of the first intersection region 411 and the second intersection region 412 are not listed here. Furthermore, the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 are parallel to the substrate 100, and an angle is formed between the first direction F1 and the second direction F2. The angle can be a right angle, an acute angle, or an obtuse angle. If the angle is a right angle, the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 are perpendicular.
[0130] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2b By placing second groove portions 402 at the intersection of the grid, all grid lines can be configured as first groove portions 401. This allows the size W401 of the first groove portions 401 at the grid lines to be compressed. For example, W401 can be set to less than or equal to 2 μm, thereby expanding the area of the active light-emitting area. For example, W401 can be set to 2 μm, 1.8 μm, 1.5 μm, etc. The specific value can be determined based on the actual application scenario and is not limited here.
[0131] In some embodiments of the present application, the proportion of the first trench portion 401 in the trench region 400 can be greater than or equal to 50%, and the proportion of the first trench portion 401 in the trench region 400 can be less than 100%. For example, the proportion of the first trench portion 401 in the trench region 400 can be set to 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, etc. The specific value can be determined according to the requirements of the actual application scenario and is not limited here.
[0132] In some embodiments of the present application, the proportion of the second trench portion 402 in the trench region 400 can be greater than 0, and the proportion of the second trench portion 402 in the trench region 400 can be less than or equal to 50%. For example, the proportion of the second trench portion 402 in the trench region 400 can be set to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, etc. The specific value can be determined according to the requirements of the actual application scenario and is not limited here.
[0133] In some embodiments of the present application, the coverage area of the electrode metal layer 230 can account for 30% to 99% of the total area of the entire optoelectronic device. Among them, 30% to 70% corresponds to normal current application scenarios, and 70% to 99% corresponds to high current application scenarios to meet high current requirements. In addition, in some extreme cases, the coverage area of the electrode metal layer 230 can account for 99% of the total area of the entire optoelectronic device.
[0134] The portion of the electrode metal layer 230 covering the second groove portion 402 is designated as the first electrode metal layer 230 portion. The area of the first electrode metal layer 230 portion accounts for less than or equal to 70% of the total area of the electrode metal layer 230. Furthermore, the area of the first electrode metal layer 230 portion accounts for less than or equal to 30% of the total area of the electrode metal layer 230. For example, the area of the first electrode metal layer 230 portion accounts for less than or equal to 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, etc., without limitation herein.
[0135] The portion of the electrode metal layer 230 covering the first groove portion 401 is designated as the second electrode metal layer 230 portion. The area of the second electrode metal layer 230 portion accounts for less than or equal to 30% of the total area of the electrode metal layer 230. Furthermore, the area of the second electrode metal layer 230 portion accounts for less than or equal to 70% of the total area of the electrode metal layer 230. For example, the area of the second electrode metal layer 230 portion accounts for greater than or equal to 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, etc., without limitation herein.
[0136] In addition, the shape of the second groove portion 402 is not limited in the present application. For example, the shape of the second groove portion 402 includes but is not limited to a circle, a rectangle, a polygon, etc.
[0137] To prepare Figures 2a to 3c Taking the structure of the optoelectronic device shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the method for preparing the optoelectronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following contents:
[0138] Reference Figure 5a , Figure 5a This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the structure of an optoelectronic device during the fabrication process in an embodiment of the present application. For example, a substrate 100 is provided. This substrate 100 may include, but is not limited to, a Si substrate 100, a SiC substrate 100, a sapphire substrate 100, or a GaN substrate 100. A buffer layer 250, a first semiconductor layer 211, a light-emitting layer 212, and a second semiconductor layer 213 are sequentially epitaxially formed on substrate 100. Subsequently, a current spreading layer 214 is deposited.
[0139] Reference Figure 5b , Figure 5bThis is another schematic cross-sectional view of the optoelectronic device during fabrication in an embodiment of the present application. For example, a patterning process is employed to pattern the first semiconductor layer 211, the light-emitting layer 212, and the second semiconductor layer 213. A recess is formed in the first semiconductor layer 211, and the protruding portion of the first semiconductor layer 211 forms the light-emitting layer 212 on the side facing away from the substrate 100. Furthermore, the second semiconductor layer 213 is formed on the side facing away from the substrate 100 of the light-emitting layer 212.
[0140] Reference Figure 5c , Figure 5c FIG2 is another schematic cross-sectional view of the structure of an optoelectronic device during fabrication according to an embodiment of the present application. For example, a dielectric layer is deposited on the side of the current spreading layer 214 facing away from the substrate 100. The dielectric layer comprises a second dielectric layer 321 and a first dielectric layer 322. Subsequently, the dielectric layer is patterned using a patterning process to expose the second trench portion 402 and form the third contact hole 333.
[0141] Reference Figure 5d , Figure 5d This is another schematic cross-sectional view of the structure of an optoelectronic device during fabrication according to an embodiment of the present application. For example, a metal material is deposited on the side of the dielectric layer facing away from the substrate 100 to form an electrode metal layer 230. The electrode metal layer 230 is then brought into contact with the first semiconductor layer 211 within the second trench portion 402. Subsequently, a patterning process is performed on the electrode metal layer 230 to form a second contact hole 332 extending through the electrode metal layer 230.
[0142] Reference Figure 5e , Figure 5e This is another cross-sectional structural diagram of the optoelectronic device during the manufacturing process in an embodiment of the present application. For example, a passivation layer 240 is deposited on the side of the metal layer facing away from the substrate 100 , and the third contact hole 333 is exposed.
[0143] Reference Figure 5f , Figure 5f This is another schematic cross-sectional view of the optoelectronic device during fabrication in an embodiment of the present application. For example, a first electrode connection layer 221 is deposited on the side of the passivation layer 240 facing away from the substrate 100, and the first electrode connection layer 221 is in contact with the current spreading layer 214 on the semiconductor functional layer 210.
[0144] Reference Figure 5g A first electrode pad layer 222 is formed on the first electrode connection layer 221 , and the first electrode pad layer 222 and the first electrode connection layer 221 are connected.
[0145] Figure 6a This is another schematic top view of the optoelectronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6b for Figure 6a A top view of the trench area shown in FIG. Figure 6c This is another top view of the groove area in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 for Figure 6a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the AA' direction, refer to Figures 6a to 7 The optoelectronic device in this embodiment is a modification of the optoelectronic device in the above embodiment. The similarities are not repeated here. The difference lies in that the sidewalls of the trench region having the second trench portion 402 have a first dimension W403, while the sidewalls of the trench region having the first trench portion have a second dimension W401. The maximum value of the first dimension W403 is greater than the maximum value of the second dimension W401. This arrangement reduces the size of the first trench portion in the trench region and reserves space for the second trench portion, thereby increasing the electrical connection area between the electrode metal layer and the first semiconductor layer and improving power supply reliability.
[0146] For example, referring to Figure 6a The first dimension W403 and the second dimension W401 may both be widths in different directions. For example, the second dimension W401 is the width in the first direction F1 , and the second dimension W401 is the width in a gas direction different from the first direction F1 .
[0147] For example, referring to Figure 6b The first size W403 and the second size W401 may both be widths in the same direction. For example, the first size W403 and the second size W401 may both be widths in the first direction F1.
[0148] Further, refer to Figure 6a and Figure 6b The sidewalls of the first trench portion 401 not surrounding the second trench portion 402 have a third dimension W404, and the second trench portion 402 has a fourth dimension W402, which is greater than the third dimension W404. The fourth dimension W402 and the third dimension W404 can be widths in the same direction or in different directions. For example, the fourth dimension W402 and the third dimension W404 can both be widths in the first direction F1. This configuration increases the size of the second trench portion 402, thereby increasing the contact area between the electrode metal layer 230 and the first semiconductor layer 211, further improving power supply uniformity.
[0149] It is understandable that the specific values of W401, W402, W403, and W404 can be determined according to the requirements of the actual application scenario and are not limited here.
[0150] In some embodiments of the present application, to increase the size of the second trench portion 402, for example, the semiconductor functional layer 210 surrounding the second trench portion 402 can be configured to provide a clearance for the second trench portion 402, reserving an area for the second trench portion 402. For example, in the stacking direction F0, the semiconductor functional layer 210 adjacent to the second trench portion 402 has an outer boundary Y210, and the second trench portion 402 has an outer boundary Y402. The outer boundary Y210 has a clearance recess AC on the side facing the outer boundary Y402. This is equivalent to forming the clearance recess AC on the sidewall of the semiconductor functional layer 210. This allows the clearance recess AC to provide a clearance for the second trench portion 402, thereby increasing the size of the second trench portion 402. Furthermore, by providing the clearance recess AC as a clearance for the second trench portion 402, the area enclosed by the outer boundary Y210 does not need to be uniformly reduced, thereby avoiding excessively reducing the area of the semiconductor functional layer 210. With this arrangement, only the first groove portion 401 surrounding the second groove portion 402 needs to be expanded in all directions, and the remaining first groove portions 401 (especially the first groove portions 401 at the grid lines) do not need to be expanded, thereby ensuring the area of the active light-emitting area and increasing the contact area between the electrode metal layer 230 and the first semiconductor layer 211.
[0151] Furthermore, the shape of the relief recess AC is identical or similar to the shape of the location corresponding to the outer boundary Y402. This allows the shape of the relief recess AC to be selected based on the shape of the location corresponding to the outer boundary Y402. Furthermore, by providing the relief recess AC on the semiconductor functional layer 210, better relief can be provided for the second trench portion 402. Exemplarily, the shape of the outer boundary Y402 includes, but is not limited to, a circle, a rectangle, a polygon, etc. For example, if the outer boundary Y402 is circular, the relief recess AC can be arc-shaped. Furthermore, the size of the second trench portion 402 can be greater than, equal to, or smaller than the size of the second contact hole 332 or the third contact hole 333, without limitation herein.
[0152] Furthermore, the portion of the electrode metal layer 230 extending from the first groove portion 401 to the second groove portion 402 is stepped, which is conducive to stress release, reduces the risk of fracture of the electrode metal layer 230, and improves reliability. For example, by providing the first dielectric layer 322, the portion of the electrode metal layer 230 extending from the first dielectric layer 322 to the bottom wall of the second groove portion 402 can be formed into a stepped shape. The present application raises the electrode metal layer 230 by reusing the first dielectric layer 322, so that the electrode metal layer 230 can extend along the first dielectric layer 322 to the bottom wall of the second groove portion 402, thereby forming a stepped shape in the portion of the electrode metal layer 230 extending from the first groove portion 401 to the second groove portion 402. Of course, in actual applications, other methods can also be used to form the electrode metal layer 230 into a stepped shape.
[0153] Furthermore, the electrode metal layer 230 may form three steps in the process of extending from the bottom wall of the second trench portion 402 to the first surface S1 , further reducing the risk of fracture.
[0154] For example, referring to Figure 6c , Figure 6c This is another top view of the groove region in the embodiment of the present application. A second groove portion 402 may be provided on at least part of the grid lines of the grid pattern 420. Alternatively, referring to Figure 6a , a second groove portion 402 may also be provided at at least a portion of the grid intersection region of the grid pattern 420 .
[0155] in addition, Figure 6a and Figure 7 The method for preparing the structure of the optoelectronic device shown in FIG. 1 can also adopt the above-mentioned preparation method. Figure 5b In the step shown, an escape recess AC is formed. Figure 5c In the illustrated step, the size of the second trench portion 402 exposed from the first dielectric layer 322 is relatively large.
[0156] Figure 8 This is another schematic top view of the optoelectronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 9 for Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure along the AA' direction, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9The optoelectronic device in this embodiment is a modification of the optoelectronic device in the above embodiment. The similarities are not detailed here. The difference lies in that the optoelectronic device 10 includes not only the light-emitting pixel 200 but also one or more boss structures 510. The boss structures 510 have a second surface S2, and the second electrode 520 is disposed on the second surface S2. This configuration elevates the second electrode 520 via the boss structures 510. When the first electrode 220 and the second electrode 520 are interconnected to the driver device using an interconnect structure, the length difference between the interconnect structure connecting the first electrode 220 and the interconnect structure connecting the second electrode 520 can be minimized, thereby reducing the risk of device failure and improving the reliability of the interconnection between the optoelectronic device 10 and the driver device.
[0157] In some embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 9 A first vertical distance h1 is defined between the first surface S1 and the surface of the first semiconductor layer 211 facing away from the first electrode 220, and a second vertical distance h2 is defined between the second surface S2 and the surface of the first semiconductor layer 211 facing away from the first electrode 220. The difference between the first vertical distance h1 and the second vertical distance h2 can be set to be less than or equal to a difference threshold, so that the difference between the first vertical distance h1 and the second vertical distance h2 is as small as possible or negligible. This configuration allows the surface of the second electrode 520 facing away from the substrate 100 and the surface of the first electrode 220 facing away from the substrate 100 to be formed on the same plane as much as possible, thereby minimizing the length difference between the interconnect structure connected to the first electrode 220 and the interconnect structure connected to the second electrode 520, thereby reducing the risk of device failure and improving the interconnect reliability between the optoelectronic device 10 and the driver device. It is understood that the difference between the first vertical distance h1 and the second vertical distance h2 can be the difference or ratio between the first vertical distance h1 and the second vertical distance h2. Furthermore, the difference threshold can be 0±Δh, where Δh can be the difference or error range allowed by the process preparation conditions.
[0158] In some embodiments of the present application, the boss structure 510 is configured as a multi-layer structure. Figure 9 The platform structure 510 may include a semiconductor functional layer 210 and a current spreading layer 214. Specifically, the platform structure 510 also includes a first semiconductor layer 211, a light-emitting layer 212, a second semiconductor layer 213, and a current spreading layer 214. This arrangement allows the platform structure 510 to be formed when the semiconductor functional layer 210 and the current spreading layer 214 are formed. This not only minimizes the difference between the first vertical distance h1 and the second vertical distance h2, but also reduces the number of process steps. It is understood that the second surface S2 may be the surface of the current spreading layer 214 in the platform structure 510 that faces away from the substrate 100.
[0159] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 Since the platform structure 510 includes a semiconductor functional layer 210 and a current spreading layer 214, but since the electrode metal layer 230 is electrically connected to the second electrode 520, and the electrode metal layer 230 is also connected to the first semiconductor layer 211, the first semiconductor layer 211 and the second semiconductor layer 213 in the platform structure 510 are both input with the same voltage, resulting in the entire structure not emitting light. Therefore, the groove area 400 is also provided between adjacent platform structures 510 and between the platform structure 510 and the light-emitting pixel 200. In addition, in order to increase the area of the metal electrode layer 230, the electrode metal layer 230 can also cover the sidewalls of the platform structure. In other words, there is a groove area 400 between the platform structure 510 and the semiconductor functional layer 210, and there is also a groove area 400 between the platform structure 510 and the platform structure 510. That is to say, not only the first semiconductor layer 211 in the light-emitting pixel 200 encloses the groove area 400, but the first semiconductor layer 211 in the boss structure 510 and the first semiconductor layer 211 in the semiconductor functional layer 210 also enclose the groove area 400, and the boss structure 510 and the first semiconductor layer 211 in the boss structure 510 also enclose the groove area 400.
[0160] It is worth mentioning that if multiple platform structures are provided, the groove region is provided between the platform structure and the light-emitting pixel, and the groove region is also provided between the platform structure and the platform structure. Alternatively, if one platform structure is provided, the groove region is provided between the platform structure and the light-emitting pixel.
[0161] For example, the groove structure disposed between the platform structure and the light-emitting pixel may include only the first groove portion or the second groove portion, or may include both the first groove portion and the second groove portion. This configuration can further increase the area of the electrode metal layer and improve the current uniformity of the light-emitting pixel. It is understood that the implementation of the first groove portion and the second groove portion disposed between the platform structure and the light-emitting pixel can refer to the description of the above embodiment, and the details are not repeated here.
[0162] For example, the groove structure disposed between the platform structures may include only the first groove portion or the second groove portion, or may include both the first groove portion and the second groove portion. This configuration can further increase the area of the electrode metal layer and improve the current uniformity of the light-emitting pixel. It is understood that the implementation of the first groove portion and the second groove portion disposed between the platform structures can refer to the description of the above embodiment, and the details are not repeated here.
[0163] Furthermore, to improve the reliability of the electrode metal layer 230, the electrode metal layer 230 and the second dielectric layer 321 are also extended into the groove region 400 between the platform structure 510 and the semiconductor functional layer 210. Furthermore, the electrode metal layer 230 and the second dielectric layer 321 are also extended into the groove region 400 between the platform structure 510. Furthermore, the arrangement of the second groove portion 402 in the groove region 400 can refer to the arrangement of the grid pattern 420 in the above embodiment, for example, the second groove portion 402 is arranged in the first intersection region 411.
[0164] In some embodiments of the present application, the outer boundary Y402 of the platform structure 510 in the stacking direction F0 also has an avoidance recess AC. The implementation of this avoidance recess AC can refer to the above embodiments and is not limited here. For example, the outer boundary Y402 of the platform structure 510 and the outer boundary Y210 of the semiconductor functional layer 210 can be mirror-symmetrical, translationally symmetrical, or rotationally symmetrical.
[0165] Continue to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second electrode 520 includes a second electrode connection layer 521 and a second electrode pad layer 522 that are interconnected. The second electrode connection layer 521 is disposed between the second electrode pad layer 522 and the boss structure 510. Furthermore, the second electrode connection layer 521 covers a portion or the entire area of the second surface S2. The second electrode connection layer 521 also extends along the sidewalls of the boss structure 510 to the groove region 400, and the second electrode connection layer 521 is in contact with the electrode metal layer 230. With this arrangement, the second electrode connection layer 521 can be electrically connected to the electrode metal layer 230, and the second voltage can be transmitted to the electrode metal layer 230 through the second electrode connection layer 521. Furthermore, the conductive area can be increased, further reducing the voltage drop.
[0166] In some embodiments of the present application, the second electrode connection layer 521 may be provided to cover the sidewalls of the boss structure 510. The manner in which the second electrode connection layer 521 covers the sidewalls of the boss structure 510 may refer to the manner in which the electrode metal layer 230 covers the sidewalls of the semiconductor functional layer 210, and details thereof will not be repeated herein.
[0167] In some embodiments of the present application, the second electrode connection layer 521 can cover the entire area of the second surface S2, further increasing the area of the second electrode connection layer 521 and reducing the voltage drop of the second electrode connection layer 521. In addition, the surface of the second electrode pad layer 522 facing away from the substrate 100 can be the surface of the second electrode 520 facing away from the substrate 100.
[0168] In order to improve the adhesion of the second electrode connection layer 521, refer to Figure 9A third dielectric layer 323 is disposed between the second electrode connection layer 521 and the platform structure 510, and the third dielectric layer 323 covers the sidewalls of the platform structure 510. Furthermore, the third dielectric layer 323 extends to the second surface S2 and encloses a fourth contact hole 334 on the second surface S2. The second electrode connection layer 521 covers the third dielectric layer 323. Furthermore, the second electrode connection layer 521 contacts the second surface S2 through the fourth contact hole 334. This arrangement allows the second electrode connection layer 521 on the second surface S2 to have the same structure as the first electrode connection layer 221 on the first surface S1 as possible. Furthermore, by contacting the second electrode connection layer 521 with the current spreading layer 214 in the platform structure 510, a second voltage is input to the second semiconductor layer 213 and the first semiconductor layer 211 in the platform structure 510, further preventing the light-emitting layer 212 in the platform structure 510 from emitting light.
[0169] Exemplarily, the third dielectric layer 323 is a single-layer dielectric thin film structure or a multi-layer dielectric thin film composite structure. The materials for the single-layer dielectric thin film structure and the multi-layer dielectric thin film composite structure include, but are not limited to, SiO2, Al2O3, MgF2, TiO2, Ta2O5, ZrO2, SiN, etc. Furthermore, the third dielectric layer 323 can be formed from the same film layer as the first dielectric layer 322 and the second dielectric layer 321, so that the third dielectric layer 323, the first dielectric layer 322, and the second dielectric layer 321 form a single structure. Of course, in actual manufacturing processes, the third dielectric layer 323, the first dielectric layer 322, and the second dielectric layer 321 can also be prepared separately, and this is not limited here.
[0170] Furthermore, the materials of the electrode metal layer 230 and the second electrode connection layer 521 may be the same or different. Figure 9 The electrode metal layer 230 and the second electrode connection layer 521 can be formed using the same film layer, that is, the second electrode connection layer 521 is formed when the electrode metal layer 230 is formed, so that the second electrode connection layer 521 and the electrode metal layer 230 have the same material and structure, thereby forming the second electrode connection layer 521 and the electrode metal layer 230 into an integrated structure. This configuration not only reduces the process difficulty, but also further increases the area of the electrode metal layer 230 and reduces the voltage drop of the electrode metal layer 230. Of course, in actual process preparation, the second electrode connection layer 521 and the electrode metal layer 230 can also be prepared separately, which is not limited here.
[0171] In order to reduce the design difficulty of the first electrode pad layer 222 and the second electrode pad layer 522, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9, the sizes of the first electrode pad layer 222 and the second electrode pad layer 522 can be set to be the same. Of course, the sizes of the first electrode pad layer 222 and the second electrode pad layer 522 can also be set to be different, which is not limited here. Furthermore, the materials of the first electrode pad layer 222 and the second electrode pad layer 522 can be the same or different. Exemplarily, the second electrode pad layer 522 is formed when the first electrode pad layer 222 is formed, so that the materials of the first electrode pad layer 222 and the second electrode pad layer 522 are the same and the structures are the same, and it is ensured as much as possible that the surface of the second electrode 520 facing away from the substrate 100 and the surface of the first electrode 220 facing away from the substrate 100 are formed on the same plane as much as possible.
[0172] In order to reduce the design difficulty of the third contact hole 333 and the fourth contact hole 334, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the sizes of the third contact hole 333 and the fourth contact hole 334 can be set to be the same. Of course, the sizes of the third contact hole 333 and the fourth contact hole 334 can also be set to be different, which is not limited here.
[0173] Continue to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the second electrode pad layer 522 may cover the fourth contact hole 334. Alternatively, since the second electrode connection layer 521 covers the boss structure 510, the second electrode pad layer 522 may also be disposed in the fourth contact hole 334, which is not limited here.
[0174] Further, refer to Figure 9 The cross-section of the second electrode connection layer 521 in the stacking direction F0 has a second groove AX2, and a portion of the second electrode pad layer 522 fills the second groove AX2. With this arrangement, a portion of the second electrode pad layer 522 is embedded in the second groove AX2, forming a stepped pad, thereby improving reliability.
[0175] Reference Figure 8 When a boss structure 510 is provided in the optoelectronic device, the proportion of the first groove portion 401 in the groove area 400, the proportion of the second groove portion 402 in the groove area 400, the coverage area of the electrode metal layer 230 can account for a percentage of the total area of the entire optoelectronic device, the proportion of the area of the first electrode metal layer 230 portion in the total area of the electrode metal layer 230, and the proportion of the area of the second electrode metal layer 230 portion in the total area of the electrode metal layer 230 can also satisfy the numerical relationship in the above embodiment, and the details are not repeated here.
[0176] In addition, the present application does not limit the shape of the fourth contact hole 334. For example, the shape of the fourth contact hole 334 includes, but is not limited to, a circle, a rectangle, a polygon, etc. Furthermore, the shape of the fourth contact hole 334 can be the same as or different from that of the third contact hole 333. Furthermore, the size of the fourth contact hole 334 can be the same as or different from that of the third contact hole 333.
[0177] In this application, the light-emitting pixels 200 and the boss structures 510 are arranged in an array to improve the uniformity of the electrical conduction. In some examples, the light-emitting pixels 200 can be completely surrounded by the boss structures 510, for example, referring to Figure 10a , Figure 10a This is an arrangement of the light-emitting pixels and the boss structure in the embodiment of the present application. The boss structure 510 encloses and forms an enclosing area AA1, and all the light-emitting pixels 200 are arranged in the enclosing area AA1. In addition, the boss structure 510 that surrounds all the light-emitting pixels 200 can be a circle of boss structures 510, two circles of boss structures 510, or more circles of boss structures 510. Alternatively, the light-emitting pixels 200 can also be partially surrounded by the boss structure 510, for example, referring to Figure 10b , Figure 10b This is another arrangement of the light-emitting pixels and the platform structure in the embodiment of the present application. The platform structure 510 encloses a semi-enclosed area AA2, and all the light-emitting pixels 200 are disposed in the semi-enclosed area AA2. Of course, the platform structure 510 can also be disposed on both sides of the light-emitting pixels 200 along the second direction F2 or the first direction F1, and this is not limited here.
[0178] In some other examples, the light-emitting pixels 200 and the boss structures 510 may also appear alternately at a certain period ratio to improve the uniformity of the electrical conduction. Figure 10c , Figure 10c Another arrangement of the light-emitting pixels and the platform structures in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: a plurality of light-emitting pixels 200 form a light-emitting pixel 200 column along the second direction F2; a plurality of platform structures 510 form a platform structure 510 column along the second direction F2; a light-emitting pixel 200 column and a platform structure 510 column are alternately arranged along the first direction F1; or adjacent light-emitting pixel 200 columns and adjacent platform structure 510 columns are alternately arranged along the first direction F1. Or, for example, referring to Figure 10d , Figure 10dAnother arrangement of the light-emitting pixels and the platform structures in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: a plurality of light-emitting pixels 200 form a light-emitting pixel 200 row along the first direction F1, a plurality of platform structures 510 form a platform structure 510 row along the first direction F1, a light-emitting pixel 200 row and a platform structure 510 row are alternately arranged along the second direction F2, or adjacent light-emitting pixel 200 rows and adjacent platform structure 510 rows are alternately arranged along the second direction F2. Or, for example, referring to Figure 10e , Figure 10e This is another arrangement of the light-emitting pixels and the platform structure in the embodiment of the present application. The platform structure 510 includes a plurality of repeatedly arranged structural units AA3. Each structural unit AA3 includes a light-emitting pixel 200 and a platform structure 510. In the same structural unit AA3, the light-emitting pixel 200 surrounds all the platform structures 510. This not only enables electrical connection, but also reduces the number of non-luminous platform structures 510 and increases the number of luminous platform structures 510. Of course, the platform structure 510 can also surround all or part of the light-emitting pixels 200 in the same structural unit AA3.
[0179] It is worth mentioning that Figures 10a to 10e Some arrangements of the light-emitting pixels 200 and the boss structures 510 are merely illustrated. Other arrangements of the light-emitting pixels 200 and the boss structures 510 are not listed here one by one.
[0180] To prepare Figure 8 and Figure 9 Taking the structure of the optoelectronic device shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the method for preparing the optoelectronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following contents:
[0181] Reference Figure 11a , Figure 11a This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the structure of an optoelectronic device during the fabrication process in an embodiment of the present application. For example, a substrate 100 is provided. This substrate 100 may include, but is not limited to, a Si substrate 100, a SiC substrate 100, a sapphire substrate 100, or a GaN substrate 100. A buffer layer 250, a first semiconductor layer 211, a light-emitting layer 212, and a second semiconductor layer 213 are sequentially epitaxially formed on substrate 100. Subsequently, a current spreading layer 214 is deposited.
[0182] Reference Figure 11b , Figure 11bFIG2 is another schematic cross-sectional view of the structure of the optoelectronic device during the preparation process in an embodiment of the present application. For example, a patterning process is used to pattern the first semiconductor layer 211, the light-emitting layer 212, and the second semiconductor layer 213. A groove region 400 is formed in the first semiconductor layer 211. The protruding portion of the first semiconductor layer 211 is formed on the side facing away from the substrate 100 to form the light-emitting layer 212. The second semiconductor layer 213 is formed on the side facing away from the substrate 100 to form the light-emitting layer 212. This forms the first semiconductor layer 211, the light-emitting layer 212, and the second semiconductor layer 213 in the semiconductor functional layer 210, and the first semiconductor layer 211, the light-emitting layer 212, the second semiconductor layer 213, and the current spreading layer 214 in the boss structure 510.
[0183] Reference Figure 11c , Figure 11c FIG2 is another schematic cross-sectional view of the structure of an optoelectronic device during fabrication according to an embodiment of the present application. For example, a dielectric layer is deposited on the side of the current spreading layer 214 facing away from the substrate 100. The dielectric layer comprises a first dielectric layer 322, a second dielectric layer 321, and a third dielectric layer 323. Subsequently, the dielectric layer is patterned using a patterning process to expose the second trench portion 402 and form the third contact hole 333 and the fourth contact hole 334.
[0184] Reference Figure 11d , Figure 11d This is another schematic cross-sectional view of the fabrication process of an optoelectronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. For example, a metal material is deposited on the side of the dielectric layer facing away from the substrate 100, and an electrode metal layer 230 and a second electrode connection layer 521 are simultaneously formed. The electrode metal layer 230 is brought into contact with the first semiconductor layer 211 through the second trench portion 402, and the second electrode connection layer 521 is brought into contact with the current spreading layer 214 in the platform structure 510 through the fourth contact hole 334. Subsequently, the electrode metal layer 230 is patterned using a patterning process to form a second contact hole 332 extending through the electrode metal layer 230.
[0185] Reference Figure 11e , Figure 11e This is another cross-sectional structural diagram of the optoelectronic device during the fabrication process in an embodiment of the present application. For example, a passivation layer 240 is deposited on the side of the metal layer facing away from the substrate 100, exposing a portion of the third contact hole 333 and the second electrode connection layer 521 on the second surface.
[0186] Reference Figure 11f , Figure 11fThis is another schematic cross-sectional view of the optoelectronic device during fabrication in an embodiment of the present application. For example, a first electrode connection layer 221 is deposited on the side of the passivation layer 240 facing away from the substrate 100, and the first electrode connection layer 221 is in contact with the current spreading layer 214 on the semiconductor functional layer 210.
[0187] Reference Figure 11g , forming a first electrode pad layer 222 and a second electrode pad layer 522 , and connecting the first electrode pad layer 222 and the first electrode connection layer 221 , and connecting the second electrode pad layer 522 and the second electrode connection layer 521 .
[0188] Figure 12 for Figure 8 Another cross-sectional structural diagram along the AA' direction, refer to Figure 12 The optoelectronic device in this embodiment is a modification of the optoelectronic device in the above embodiment. The similarities are not described here. The difference lies in that a plurality of first protrusion structures 710 are disposed between the buffer layer 250 and the first semiconductor layer 211. These first protrusion structures 710 are spaced apart from each other. This configuration, by roughening the surface of the first semiconductor layer 211 facing the buffer layer 250, can change the angle between the emitted light and the interface, reduce total internal reflection, improve light extraction efficiency, and prevent light from refracting back and forth within the light-emitting element. For example, the plurality of first protrusion structures 710 can be integrally formed with the buffer layer 250. For example, the plurality of first protrusion structures 710 can extend from the buffer layer 250 toward the first semiconductor layer 211, further strengthening the bond between the first semiconductor layer 211 and the buffer layer 250. Alternatively, the plurality of first protrusion structures 710 can be independent of the buffer layer 250. For example, the first protrusion structures 710 can be arranged in an array to uniformly improve light extraction efficiency. Furthermore, the height of the first protruding structure 710 is less than the thickness of the buffer layer 250 and the thickness of the first semiconductor layer 211. For example, the height of the first protruding structure 710 can be 0.5um to 3um. For example, the height of the first protruding structure 710 is 0.5um, 1um, 1.5um, 2um, 2.5um, 3um, etc. In practical applications, the shape of the first protruding structure 710 can be a cone, a cylinder, a pyramid or a prism, and this application does not limit this. In addition, Figure 12 The manufacturing method for the structure of the optoelectronic device 10 shown may also employ the above-described manufacturing method. After forming the buffer layer 250, the surface of the buffer layer 250 may be processed using a patterning process, a texturing process, or a roughening process to form a plurality of first protruding structures 710. Alternatively, a patterning process, a texturing process, or a roughening process may be employed to form a plurality of first protruding structures 710 independent of the buffer layer 250 on the surface of the buffer layer 250.
[0189] Furthermore, the first semiconductor layer 211 at the bottom wall of the second groove portion 402 can have a plurality of second protrusion structures 720, which are spaced apart from each other. The plurality of first protrusion structures 710 extend from the first semiconductor layer 211 toward the electrode metal layer 230, which not only further enhances the bond between the first semiconductor layer 211 and the electrode metal layer 230, but also enables the light reflected from the electrode metal layer 230 to be emitted more uniformly. Furthermore, the implementation of the second protrusion structure 720 can refer to the implementation of the first protrusion structure 710 and will not be described in detail here. It is understood that the first semiconductor layer 211 at the bottom wall of the first groove portion 401 can also have a plurality of second protrusion structures 720 to enhance bonding.
[0190] Figure 13 for Figure 8 Another cross-sectional structural diagram along the AA' direction, refer to Figure 13 The optoelectronic device in this embodiment is a modification of the optoelectronic device in the above embodiment. The similarities are not repeated here. The difference lies in that an angle β is formed between the sidewall of the semiconductor functional layer 210 and the first surface S1. This angle β is oriented toward the semiconductor functional layer 210 and is set to an obtuse angle. This configuration allows the sidewall of the semiconductor functional layer 210 to be inclined, further reducing stress on the electrode metal layer 230 and the risk of fracture.
[0191] Figure 14 for Figure 8 Another cross-sectional structural diagram along the AA' direction, refer to Figure 14The optoelectronic device in this embodiment is a modification of the optoelectronic device in the above embodiment. The similarities are not detailed here. The difference is that the luminescent pixel 200 further includes a distributed Bragg reflector layer 610, which is disposed between the second dielectric layer 321 and the electrode metal layer 230 to further improve reflection efficiency. In some embodiments of the present application, the distributed Bragg reflector layer 610 also covers one or more dielectric layers among the second dielectric layer 321, the first dielectric layer 322, and the third dielectric layer 323. With this arrangement, when the electrode metal layer 230 is a metal layer, light first passes through the distributed Bragg reflector layer 610 before entering the electrode metal layer 230. After being reflected by the electrode metal layer 230, light enters the distributed Bragg reflector layer 610 and is finally reflected from one side of the distributed Bragg reflector layer 610. This can address the problem of insufficient reflection bandwidth of the distributed Bragg reflector layer 610 through the electrode metal layer 230, and can also address the problem of low luminous efficiency caused by the metal layer absorbing some light. It can be understood that the distributed Bragg reflector layer 610 forms a distributed Bragg reflector mirror (DBR) structure.
[0192] In some other embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 14 The distributed Bragg reflector 610 can expose the second trench portion 402, the third contact hole 333, and the fourth contact hole 334. In other words, the distributed Bragg reflector 610 can also extend between the first dielectric layer 322 and the electrode metal layer 230. Furthermore, the distributed Bragg reflector 610 can also extend between the third dielectric layer 322 and the second electrode connection layer 521, and the distributed Bragg reflector 610 extends to the fourth contact hole 334.
[0193] In addition, the distributed Bragg reflection layer 610 includes a plurality of first refractive index layers and a plurality of second refractive index layers, and the first refractive index layers and the second refractive index layers are alternately arranged. Among them, the first refractive index layer or the second refractive index layer is in contact with the second dielectric layer 321. Moreover, the refractive index of the first refractive index layer is greater than the refractive index of the second refractive index layer adjacent to it. In a specific implementation, the number of first refractive index layers and the number of second refractive index layers are the same, and their specific number can be determined according to the needs of the actual application scenario. Furthermore, the refractive index of each first refractive index layer is the same, and the thickness of each first refractive index layer is the same. Also, the refractive index of each second refractive index layer is the same, and the thickness of each second refractive index layer is the same. Of course, the thickness of different first refractive index layers may also be different, and the thickness of different second refractive index layers may also be different, which is not limited here. In addition, Figure 14 The method for preparing the structure of the optoelectronic device shown in FIG. 1 can also adopt the above-mentioned preparation method and Figure 11cand Figure 11d A step of preparing a distributed Bragg reflection layer is added.
[0194] Figure 15 This is another schematic top view of the optoelectronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 16 for Figure 15 Another cross-sectional structural diagram along the AA' direction, refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 The optoelectronic device in this embodiment is a modification of the optoelectronic device in the above embodiment, and the similarities are not repeated here. The difference is that: the light-emitting pixel includes a semiconductor functional layer 210, but does not include a current spreading layer 214. The surface of the second semiconductor layer 213 in the semiconductor functional layer 210 facing away from the light-emitting layer 212 can be set as the first surface S1, and the first electrode connection layer 221 is directly in contact with the second semiconductor layer 213 in the light-emitting pixel 200, so as to realize the electrical connection between the first electrode connection layer 221 and the second semiconductor layer 213 in the light-emitting pixel 200. In some embodiments of the present application, if a boss structure 510 is provided in the optoelectronic device and the boss structure 510 has the same structure as the semiconductor functional layer 210, the surface of the second semiconductor layer 213 in the boss structure 510 facing away from the light-emitting layer 212 can be set as the second surface S2. The second electrode connection layer 521 is directly in contact with the second semiconductor layer 213 in the boss structure 510. In addition, Figure 15 and Figure 16 The manufacturing method of the structure of the optoelectronic device 10 shown in FIG. 1 may also adopt the above-mentioned manufacturing method and directly omit the steps of FIG. Figure 5b Steps shown.
[0195] Figure 17 This is another schematic top view of the optoelectronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 18a for Figure 17 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure along the AA' direction, Figure 18b for Figure 17 Another cross-sectional structural diagram along the AA' direction, refer to Figures 17 to 18b The optoelectronic device in this embodiment is a modification of the optoelectronic device in the above embodiment. Similarities are not repeated here. The differences are as follows: the outer boundary Y221 overlaps the outer boundary Y332. Specifically, the first electrode connection layer 221 extends from the bottom wall of the third contact hole 333 along the sidewalls of the third contact hole 333 to the sidewalls of the second contact hole 332. Furthermore, the first electrode connection layer 221 also extends along the sidewalls of the second contact hole 332 to the periphery of the opening of the second contact hole 332. A passivation layer 240 is located between the first electrode connection layer 221 and the electrode metal layer 230. Furthermore, the periphery of the opening of the second contact hole 332 refers to a small portion of the edge of the opening of the second contact hole 332.
[0196] Reference Figure 18a In the stacking direction F0, the first electrode pad layer 222 may cover the first electrode connection layer 221. Alternatively, referring to Figure 18b In the stacking direction F0, the first electrode connection layer 221 may also cover the first electrode pad layer 222.
[0197] in addition, Figure 17 and Figure 18a The manufacturing method of the structure of the optoelectronic device 10 shown may also adopt the above-mentioned manufacturing method.

Figure 20 for Figure 19 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the AA' direction, refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 The optoelectronic device in this embodiment is a modification of the optoelectronic device in the above embodiment. The similarities are not repeated here. The difference is that the third dielectric layer 323 covers the second surface S2 of the platform structure 510, that is, the fourth contact hole 334 is not provided. In addition, the second electrode connection layer 521 covers the third dielectric layer 323, insulating the second electrode connection layer 521 from the platform structure 510. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the passivation layer 240 on the substrate 100 also covers the orthographic projection of the platform structure 510 on the substrate 100. In addition, Figure 19 and Figure 20 The manufacturing method of the structure of the optoelectronic device 10 shown may also adopt the above-mentioned manufacturing method.

Figure 22 for Figure 21 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the AA' direction, refer to Figure 22 and Figure 21The optoelectronic device in this embodiment is a modification of the optoelectronic device in the above embodiment. The similarities are not repeated here. The difference is that the structure of the boss structure 510 is different from that of the semiconductor functional layer 210. Exemplarily, the boss structure 510 is a single-layer structure, and the boss structure 510 includes: one of a semiconductor material layer, an insulating material layer or a metal material layer. Alternatively, the boss structure 510 is a multi-layer structure, and the boss structure 510 includes: a combination of two or all of the semiconductor material layers, insulating material layers or metal material layers. Moreover, the materials in the semiconductor material layer, insulating material layer or metal material layer can be the materials mentioned in this application, or other materials can be used without limitation. Furthermore, in order to improve the reliability of the electrode metal layer 230, the first semiconductor layer 211 can be extended into the gap between the boss structure 510 and the semiconductor functional layer 210, so that the first semiconductor layer 211, the boss structure 510 and the semiconductor functional layer 210 enclose a groove area 400. Furthermore, the first semiconductor layer 211 extends into the gap between adjacent boss structures 510, so that the first semiconductor layer 211 and the adjacent boss structures 510 enclose a groove region 400. Furthermore, the arrangement of the electrode metal layer 230 in the groove region 400 can refer to the arrangement in the above embodiment, and the details are not repeated here. Figure 21 and Figure 22 The manufacturing method of the structure of the optoelectronic device 10 shown may also adopt the above manufacturing method, and form a boss structure 510 that is different from the structure of the semiconductor functional layer 210 .
[0200] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application also provides a light-emitting module, referring to Figure 23 , Figure 23 A schematic structural diagram of a light-emitting module provided in an embodiment of the present application, the light-emitting module includes: an optoelectronic device 10, a driving device 30, and an interconnection assembly 20. The interconnection assembly 20 is located between the optoelectronic device 10 and the driving device 30, and the driving device 30 is located on the side of the optoelectronic device 10 having multiple light-emitting pixels 200. The driving device 30 includes: a first driving pad 31 and a second driving pad 32 facing the side of the optoelectronic device 10. The interconnection assembly 20 includes a first interconnect structure 21 and a second interconnect structure 22 spaced apart from each other. The first end of the first interconnect structure 21 is connected to the first electrode pad layer 222 in the first electrode 220, the second end of the first interconnect structure 21 is connected to the first driving pad 31, the first end of the second interconnect structure 22 is connected to the second electrode pad layer 522 in the second electrode 520, and the second end of the second interconnect structure 22 is connected to the second driving pad 32.
[0201] Specifically, the driving device 30 can output corresponding voltages to the first driving pad 31 and the second driving pad 32 respectively. In addition, the number of the first driving pads 31 is the same as the number of the light-emitting pixels 200 and corresponds one to one, and the number of the second driving pads 32 is the same as the number of the boss structures 510 and corresponds one to one. In addition, the driving device 30 also includes a plurality of third driving pads (for example, 33, 34) connected to the circuit board 2, and the plurality of third driving pads (for example, 33, 34) may include power supply electrode pads, ground electrode pads, and driving electrode pads for transmitting driving signals. Exemplarily, the driving device 30 can be set as a driving chip. Alternatively, the driving device 30 can also be a driving substrate provided with a plurality of pixel circuits and a common electrode, and the plurality of pixel circuits are connected one to one to the first driving pads 31, outputting relative voltages to the first driving pads 31, and the second driving pads 32 are connected to the common electrode.
[0202] Furthermore, the number of first interconnect structures 21 is the same as the number of light-emitting pixels 200 and corresponds one-to-one, and the number of second interconnect structures 22 is the same as the number of boss structures 510 and corresponds one-to-one. Furthermore, each first interconnect structure 21 and each second interconnect structure 22 are spaced apart from each other. Furthermore, the first end of the first interconnect structure 21 is connected to the first electrode pad layer 222 in the corresponding first electrode 220, and the second end of the first interconnect structure 21 is connected to the corresponding first drive pad 31, so that the driving device outputs a first voltage to the first electrode 220 through the first drive pad 31 and the first interconnect structure 21. Furthermore, the first end of the second interconnect structure 22 is connected to the second electrode pad layer 522 in the corresponding second electrode 520, and the second end of the second interconnect structure 22 is connected to the second drive pad 32, so that the driving device outputs a second voltage to the second electrode 520 through the second drive pad 32 and the second interconnect structure 22. Exemplarily, the first interconnect structure 21 and the second interconnect structure 22 can be metal interconnect structures, such as bumps, including micro bumps, copper pillar bumps (CPB), etc. In addition, the materials of the first interconnect structure 21 and the second interconnect structure 22 respectively include one or more materials selected from Au, Cu, Ni, Ag, and Sn. The materials of the first interconnect structure 21 and the second interconnect structure 22 each include at least one bonding metal layer (e.g., Sn, SnAg, AuSn, etc.). In addition, the structures of the first interconnect structure 21 and the second interconnect structure 22 are the same.
[0203] In addition, in the present application, the second electrode 520 is connected to the electrode metal layer, so that the second voltage transmitted by the second electrode 520 can be input into the first semiconductor layer 211 of the light-emitting pixel 200. The second semiconductor layer 213 of the light-emitting pixel 200 is connected to the first electrode 220 through the current spreading layer 214. The first voltage transmitted by the first electrode 220 is input into the second semiconductor layer 213, thereby driving the light-emitting layer 212 to emit light. Therefore, not only is the second electrode 520 formed on the second surface S2 of the boss structure 510, but the electrode metal layer 230 connected to the first semiconductor layer 211 of each light-emitting pixel 200 is also formed in the groove region 400, eliminating the need to form additional electrodes connected to the first semiconductor layer 211 in the light-emitting pixel 200. With this arrangement, only the same number of first interconnect structures 21 as the number of light-emitting pixels 200 and the same number of second interconnect structures 22 as the number of boss structures 510 need to be prepared to interconnect the driver device 30 with the optoelectronic device 10, thereby reducing the location of interconnection points and reducing process difficulty.
[0204] Furthermore, in the optoelectronic device 10 of the present application, the difference between the first vertical distance h1 and the second vertical distance h2 is less than or equal to the difference threshold, thereby minimizing the difference between the first vertical distance h1 and the second vertical distance h2. This configuration allows the second electrode 520 and the first electrode 220 to be formed on the same plane as much as possible, thereby minimizing the difference between the length of the first interconnect structure 21 and the length of the second interconnect structure 22, thereby reducing the risk of device failure and improving the reliability of the interconnection between the optoelectronic device 10 and the driver device.
[0205] Reference Figure 23 The surface of the buffer layer 250 facing away from the interconnection component 20 can also be roughened to change the angle between the outgoing light and the interface, reduce the occurrence of total reflection, improve the light extraction efficiency, and avoid light refraction back and forth within the light-emitting component.

[0210] Example 2:
[0211] Generally, the light generated by the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting pixel is randomly emitted in various directions, of which some light is emitted from the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting pixel, and some is emitted from the non-light-emitting surface of the light-emitting pixel. If the light from the non-light-emitting surface cannot be effectively utilized, it will not only cause energy loss, but also reduce the light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting array. To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides an optoelectronic device, which can effectively increase the reflection area by providing a first reflective layer and a second reflective layer, so that as much light as possible emitted by the light-emitting pixel toward the non-light-emitting surface can be reflected to the light-emitting surface, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the device.

In addition, the first reflective layer 810 covers at least a portion of each light-emitting pixel and at least a portion of the groove region. In addition, the first electrode 220 is insulated from the first reflective layer 810 so that the first electrode 220 inputs a first voltage to the second semiconductor layer 213. With this configuration, the first reflective layer 810 is used to reflect as much light as possible emitted from the semiconductor functional layer 210 toward its sidewalls and the first electrode 220 to the light-emitting surface, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the device.

The groove region 400 can include a first groove portion 401 and a second groove portion 402, and the first reflective layer 810 also covers at least a portion of the first groove portion 401. This configuration allows the first reflective layer 810 to reflect as much light incident on the first groove portion 401 as possible to the light-emitting surface, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the device.
[0215] For example, the first reflective layer 810 may cover the entire bottom wall of the first groove portion 401 , or the first reflective layer 810 may cover a portion of the bottom wall of the first groove portion 401 , which is not limited herein.
