Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optoelectronics and semiconductor technology, specifically relating to a red Micro-LED and its manufacturing method. Background Technology
[0002] Micro-LED displays utilize micron-sized inorganic LED devices as light-emitting pixels to achieve active-matrix display, and are considered a disruptive next-generation display technology. For full-color Micro-LEDs, blue and green Micro-LEDs based on the InGaN material system have already achieved high quantum efficiencies, supporting product-level applications. However, for red Micro-LEDs, traditional large-size (above 50μm) red LEDs based on AlGaInP quantum hydrazine can achieve an external quantum efficiency of around 50%, but as the chip size decreases (below 50μm), the luminous efficiency of small-size chips drops rapidly.
[0003] Currently, the external quantum efficiency of existing small-sized AlInGaP quantum hydrazine-based red micro-LEDs is only around 1-3%, mainly due to the high surface recombination rate of AlInGaP materials and the excessively long electron-hole pair diffusion length. Figure 1 As shown, when a Micro-LED operates, electrons and holes are injected into the active region (GaInP) of the AlInGaP quantum hydrazine. Due to the long radiative recombination lifetime, the lateral diffusion length of electron-hole pairs can be greater than the lateral dimension of the Micro-LED. In this case, the electron-hole pairs injected into the active region will almost all diffuse to the device sidewalls. However, the high surface recombination rate of AlInGaP material leads to the majority of electrons and holes undergoing non-radiative recombination at the sidewalls. Even with sidewall passivation technology, the effect is far from ideal. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new red Micro-LED structure that can fundamentally suppress sidewall recombination and improve the luminous efficiency of red Micro-LEDs.

[0028] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms, and should not be construed as limited to the specific embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, thereby enabling others skilled in the art to understand the various embodiments of the invention and various modifications suitable for particular intended applications.
[0029] As used herein, the term "comprising" and its variations are open terms meaning "including but not limited to". The terms "based on", "according to", etc., mean "at least partially based on" or "at least partially based on". The terms "embodiment", "an example", "one embodiment", and "an embodiment" mean "at least one embodiment". The terms "another embodiment", "another embodiment", "another example", "yet another example" mean "at least one other embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects. Other definitions, whether explicit or implicit, may be included below. Unless explicitly indicated by the context, the definition of a term remains consistent throughout the specification.
[0030] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution according to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related are omitted.
[0031] As described in the background section, the external quantum efficiency of traditional small-sized red Micro-LEDs based on AlInGaP quantum hydrazine is only around 1-3%. The main reason is that the electron-hole pairs injected into the active region will diffuse to the device sidewalls for non-radiative recombination, resulting in a decrease in the radiative recombination efficiency of the Micro-LED.
[0032] Therefore, to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a red-light Micro-LED. When InP material is epitaxially grown on a GaAs substrate, because the lattice parameter of InP (5.8687 Å) is larger than that of GaAs (5.65325 Å), the InP material will grow in the SK mode (three-dimensional mode) under stress, spontaneously forming InP quantum dots. By controlling the size and density of the quantum dots, red light emission can be achieved. (Refer to...) Figure 2According to embodiments of the present invention, InP quantum dots are employed. The significant difference in conduction bands between AlInGaP and InP provides a high potential barrier, preventing injected electrons and holes from escaping and confining them to the InP quantum dots for radiative recombination. This reduces the probability of diffusion to the sidewalls for surface recombination, effectively solving the surface recombination problem in small-sized devices. Furthermore, InP quantum dots do not suffer from the direct and indirect band competition problem found in existing AlGaInP quantum dot materials, resulting in high quantum efficiency and better temperature stability. Moreover, the emission wavelength of InP quantum dots can be tuned by their size, offering a wide controllable range. For example, by controlling the size of the InP quantum dots, Micro-LED emission can be regulated between 600 and 680 nm, thereby achieving a 625 nm red Micro-LED.
[0033] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an infrared detector according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a red Micro-LED includes: a substrate 10; an N-type contact layer 11, an N-type barrier layer 12, a lower AlGaInP barrier layer 13, an InP quantum dot well layer 14, an upper AlGaInP barrier layer 15, a P-type barrier layer 16, a P-type conductive layer 17, and a P-type window layer 18 stacked on the substrate 10 from bottom to top, i.e., stacked sequentially in a direction away from the substrate 10; a first electrode 19 disposed on the P-type window layer 18; and a second electrode 20 in contact with the N-type contact layer 11.
[0035] In one example, the substrate 10 can be an N-type GaAs substrate.
[0036] In one example, the N-type contact layer 11 can be an N-type GaInP material, the thickness of the N-type contact layer 11 can be 0.2µm~0.5µm, the doping source can be Si, and the doping concentration can be 1×10⁻⁶. 18 cm -3 ~1×10 19 cm -3 .

[0039] In one example, the InP quantum dot well layer 14 can be composed of InP quantum dots. The quantum dot size is 10nm~50nm, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the quantum dot size can be adjusted according to the actual application.
[0040] In one example, the lower AlGaInP barrier layer 13 and the InP quantum dot well layer 14 constitute a repeating unit with a repetition period of 5 to 10. That is, both the lower AlGaInP barrier layer 13 and the InP quantum dot well layer 14 are N layers (N is 5 to 10), and the N-layer lower AlGaInP barrier layer 13 and the N-layer InP quantum dot well layer are stacked alternately. In this repeating unit, the lowermost layer is the lower AlGaInP barrier layer 13, and the uppermost layer is the InP quantum dot well layer 14.
[0041] In one example, the upper AlGaInP barrier layer 15 can be an undoped AlGaInP material, and the thickness of the upper AlGaInP barrier layer 15 can be 10 nm to 20 nm. Therefore, the lower AlGaInP barrier layer 13 (or N-layer lower AlGaInP barrier layer 13) and the upper AlGaInP barrier layer constitute an AlGaInP barrier layer.
[0042] In one example, the P-type barrier layer 16 can be a P-type AlInP material, the thickness of the P-type barrier layer 16 can be 50nm~100nm, the doping source can be Mg, and the doping concentration can be 1×10⁻⁶. 17 cm -3 ~1×10 18 cm -3 .
[0043] In one example, the P-type conductive layer 17 can be a P-type AlGaInP material, the thickness of the P-type conductive layer 17 can be 0.2µm~0.5µm, the doping source can be Mg, and the doping concentration can be 1×10⁻⁶. 18 cm -3 ~1×10 19 cm -3 .
[0044] In one example, the P-type window layer 18 can be a P-type GaP material, the thickness of the P-type window layer 18 can be 2µm~5µm, the doping source can be Mg or C, and the doping concentration can be 5×10⁻⁶. 18 cm -3 ~1×1019 cm -3 .
[0045] In one example, the first electrode 19 is Ti / Au, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0046] In one example, the second electrode 20 is Au / Ge / Ni / Au, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0047] Figure 4 This diagram illustrates a comparison of the luminous efficiency of a Micro-LED using InP quantum dots according to an embodiment of the present invention and a Micro-LED using AlGaInP quantum hydrazine in the prior art, as a function of current density. The two are identical in structure except for the well layer; both emit light at 625 nm and have dimensions of 10 μm × 10 μm.
[0048] Reference Figure 4 It can be seen at 10A / cm 2 At a current density of [specific value], the quantum efficiency of the Micro-LED according to the embodiments of the present invention is improved by 67%. Therefore, the red Micro-LED based on InP quantum dots according to the embodiments of the present invention has significant advantages over the prior art.
