Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of display device technology, specifically relating to an in-situ integration method and a monolithic integrated device. Background Technology

[0002] Micro-LEDs (micro-light-emitting diodes) are considered a core technology that will revolutionize the display industry due to their high brightness, high contrast, low power consumption, and long lifespan. However, their commercialization faces bottlenecks: existing technologies mostly adopt a "separate fabrication + bonding integration" approach, such as combining a TFT driving substrate with a Micro-LED epitaxial wafer through mass transfer technology. This approach requires multiple alignment, bonding, and packaging steps, resulting in a complex process and low yield. In particular, there is the problem of bonding misalignment at the micron level, and the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the epitaxial material and the driving substrate can easily cause interface failures, affecting device reliability.

[0003] Thin-film transistor (TFT) technology has become an ideal driving solution for Micro-LEDs due to its advantages such as high-resolution driving, low power consumption, and compatibility with flexible substrates. However, traditional TFT driving solutions rely on a step-by-step process of "first preparing the TFT driving substrate, then transferring the Micro-LED", which is costly and difficult to break through the pixel density limit.

[0075] First, AZ5214 photoresist was spin-coated onto the surface of the epitaxial structure at a spin speed of 3000 rpm for 30 seconds. The area was then defined as 20*20 μm using UV lithography. 2 Tabletop array, Figure 2b S1 is the etched area, also known as the step area, and S2 is the platform area outside the etched area.

[0076] Then, an ICP dry etching process was used, with etching gases including Cl2 and BCl3 in a flow ratio of 2:1, a cavity pressure of 5 mTorr, an RF power of 400 W, a bias power of 80 W, and an etching depth of 800 nm, until the N-type semiconductor layer 12 was exposed.

[0077] S3, Reference Figure 2c As shown, the first electrode 41 is fabricated on the step.

[0078] The first electrode 41 is electrically connected to the N-type semiconductor layer 12. The fabrication method of the first electrode 41 specifically includes:

[0079] First, a Ti / Al / Ti / Au composite metal layer was deposited using an electron beam evaporation process, with thicknesses of 50 nm, 100 nm, 50 nm, and 200 nm for each layer.

[0080] Then, the first electrode 41, which is the N electrode of the Micro-LED, is formed by a peeling process (acetone ultrasonication for 10 minutes).

[0081] Finally, the first electrode 41 was subjected to rapid thermal annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere and held at 500°C for 30 seconds.

[0082] S4, Reference Figure 2d As shown, a passivation layer 20 covering the steps, mesas, and the first electrode 41 is formed on the epitaxial structure.

[0088] The second electrode 42 is electrically connected to the P-type semiconductor layer 14 through the transparent conductive layer 15. The second electrode 42 serves as the P-electrode of the Micro-LED and can also serve as the source of the subsequent TFT driving network. The third electrode 43 serves as the drain of the subsequent TFT driving network. The specific methods for fabricating the second electrode 42 and the third electrode 43 include:

[0089] First, a Cr / Au composite metal layer was deposited using a magnetron sputtering process, with each layer having a thickness of 10 nm and 70 nm, respectively.

[0090] Subsequently, a peeling process is used to form the second electrode 42 and the third electrode 43. The second electrode 42 forms an ohmic contact with the P-type semiconductor layer 14 through the second through-hole 312, with a contact resistance not greater than 1E-4 Ω·cm. 2 .

[0093] Specifically, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are ultrasonically dispersed in a toluene and xylene solution, and carbon nanotubes are formed on the steps and the platform by dip-deposition, spin-coating or inkjet printing.

[0094] The diameter of the single-walled carbon nanotubes is 1nm~2nm, the concentration of the toluene and xylene solution is 0.01mg / mL~0.1mg / mL, the absorbance of the ink in the immersion deposition process is 0.3~2.0, the rotation speed in the spin coating process is 2000rpm~4000rpm, the thickness is 5nm~20nm, and the droplet volume in the inkjet printing process is 10pL~50pL.

[0095] Then, participate Figure 2h As shown, an oxygen plasma treatment process is used to remove carbon nanotubes above the steps. The power of the oxygen plasma treatment process is 50W~200W, the O2 flow rate is 10sccm~100sccm, and the treatment time is 10s~100s.

[0096] Ultimately, the aspect ratio (W / L) of the trench dimensions is 10 μm / 5 μm.

[0097] S8, Participant Figure 2i As shown, a dielectric layer 32 is formed on the tabletop and steps.

[0098] Specifically, a dielectric layer 32 is formed on the platform and the step, and the dielectric layer 32 covers the active layer 31 on the platform and the passivation layer 20 and the third electrode 43 on the step.

[0100] For example, in this embodiment, the deposition temperature is 250°C, the number of cycles is 200, the thickness is 20nm, and the dielectric constant k of the HfO2 dielectric layer is 22.

[0101] S9, Participant Figure 2j As shown, a fourth electrode 44 is fabricated on the dielectric layer 32 on the mesa.

[0102] The fourth electrode 44 serves as the gate of the TFT driving network, and its fabrication method is as follows:

[0103] First, the fourth electrode 44 was prepared by radio frequency sputtering. The target material composition was In2O3:SnO2=90:10 wt%. The process parameters were Ar flow rate of 20 sccm, power of 150W, deposition rate of 0.3 Å / s, and deposition thickness of 150 nm.

[0104] The fourth electrode 44 was then annealed, specifically at 250°C in a nitrogen atmosphere for 30 minutes. After annealing, the sheet resistance of the fourth electrode 44 was no greater than 20 Ω / square.

[0107] It should be understood that step S9 can be performed after step S8 or before step S8.

[0108] This invention uses an in-situ integration method to fabricate monolithic integrated devices, which has the following advantages:

[0110] High pixel density, TFT driving network is directly 3D fabricated on the Micro-LED mesa, saving space, reducing signal delay caused by complex interconnect wires, and supporting micron-level pixel arrays;

[0111] Performance is improved by using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the active layer in the TFT driving network. The high mobility of CNTs ensures fast TFT response. The top-gate TFT structure and passivation post-treatment enable the device to exhibit excellent optical, thermal, and electrical bias stability. At the same time, the passivation layer protects the Micro-LED from damage in subsequent processes.

[0112] Transparent display: Active-drive transparent display can be achieved using a single integrated device;

[0113] Cost advantage: Integrated processes reduce material waste and equipment investment.
