Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a method for fabricating alignment marks for a light-emitting chip and a method for manufacturing a display backplane. Background Technology
[0002] There are currently two fabrication methods for vertically oriented light-emitting chips: Chip Bond and Wafer Bond. Chip Bond involves first creating a pattern on an epitaxial wafer, then aligning and bonding it to a driver backplane. This approach places extremely high demands on bonding technology, and with miniaturization, alignment bonding carries risks such as incomplete transfer and chip damage. Wafer Bond involves surface bonding a sapphire-based epitaxial wafer to a silicon-based driver backplane, flipping the epitaxial layer onto the silicon backplane, and then fabricating patterns on the epitaxial layer to obtain a micro-display device, resulting in higher integration. Before bonding, alignment marks need to be protected to complete subsequent pattern overlay. Currently, the well-known method for protecting alignment marks is blind exposure and etching to expose them. However, blind exposure during manufacturing can lead to misalignment, which is unpredictable and undetectable. If the misalignment extends to the die area, it directly results in wasted exposure (shot), requiring repeated blind exposure and etching until the alignment marks are exposed, significantly reducing manufacturing efficiency and yield. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned related technologies, the purpose of this application is to provide a method for making alignment marks for light-emitting chips and a method for manufacturing display backplanes, so as to reduce problems such as offset or repeated blind exposure caused by blind exposure, and improve manufacturing efficiency and yield.
[0004] This application provides a method for fabricating alignment marks on a light-emitting chip, the steps of which include: A driving substrate and an epitaxial wafer are provided.

The first bonding metal layer located in the marking area is processed to form a plurality of spaced alignment marking points; Under preset temperature and preset pressure, the epitaxial wafer and the driving substrate are bonded together by the second bonding metal layer and the first bonding metal layer, causing the stacked structure of the epitaxial wafer and the driving substrate, which is far from the marked area and located above the marked area, to undergo metal embrittlement fracture; the stacked structure includes the second bonding metal layer, the first electrode layer and the epitaxial layer stacked in sequence. Remove the substrate and buffer layer to expose the epitaxial layer; Remove the broken layered structure above the alignment mark to expose multiple alignment mark points used for pattern overlay alignment in each process segment.

[0014] The method for fabricating alignment marks for light-emitting chips and the method for manufacturing display backplanes disclosed in this application involve fabricating alignment marks on a bonding metal layer.

[0021] The specific embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] See Figures 1 to 9 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a method for fabricating alignment marks for a light-emitting chip, the steps of which include: A driving substrate 1 and an epitaxial wafer 3 are provided. The epitaxial wafer 3 includes a substrate 31, a buffer layer and an epitaxial layer 32 stacked sequentially. A first electrode layer 4 and a second bonding metal layer 5 are stacked sequentially on the side of the epitaxial layer 32 away from the substrate 31. A first bonding metal layer 2 is disposed on the surface of the driving substrate 1. The driving substrate 1 includes a display area and a non-display area. The non-display area includes a marking area 1C. The first bonding metal layer 2 located in the marking region 1C is processed to form a plurality of spaced alignment marking points 21; Under preset temperature and preset pressure, the epitaxial wafer 3 is bonded to the driving substrate 1 through the second bonding metal layer 5 and the first bonding metal layer 2, causing the stacked structure C, which is located above the marking region 1C and bonded to the driving substrate 1, to undergo metal embrittlement fracture; the stacked structure C includes the second bonding metal layer 5, the first electrode layer 4 and the epitaxial layer 32 stacked sequentially. Remove the substrate 31 and the buffer layer to expose the epitaxial layer 32; Remove the broken layered structure C above the alignment mark point 21 to expose multiple alignment mark points 21 used for pattern overlay alignment in each process segment.
[0023] The method for fabricating alignment marks for light-emitting chips and the method for manufacturing display backplanes disclosed in this application involve fabricating alignment marks 21 on a bonding metal layer. During bonding, the bonding metal layer forms an alloy, causing metal brittleness, which breaks the stacked structure C above the alignment marks 21. After removing the substrate, the C is taken away to expose the alignment marks 21. This reduces problems such as misalignment or repeated blind exposure caused by blind exposure, and improves manufacturing efficiency and yield.
[0024] Because the first bonded metal layer 2 has reflective properties, it is more conducive to identifying the alignment mark point 21. See also Figure 2 As shown, the second bonding metal layer 5 can be deposited on the epitaxial wafer 3 by vapor deposition. The bonding metal layer includes a first bonding metal layer 2 and a second bonding metal layer 5; the second bonding metal layer 5 bonds with the first bonding metal layer 2 to form a metal bonding layer. An excimer laser or solid-state laser is used to separate the substrate 31 from the epitaxial layer 32, removing the substrate 31 and flipping the epitaxial layer 32 onto the driving substrate 1. The buffer layer and other components can be removed by ICP dry etching, using a full-surface etching process with gases such as Ar / Cl2 / BCl3, exposing the epitaxial layer 32.
[0025] See Figure 1As shown, the process of forming a plurality of spaced alignment marks 21 by processing the first bonding metal layer 2 located in the marking region 1C includes performing the following steps: depositing the first bonding metal layer 2 on the driving substrate 1 by vapor deposition, and after vapor deposition, removing the first bonding metal layer 2 around the alignment marks 21 on the driving substrate 1 by a gold stripping machine to form a plurality of spaced alignment marks 21; or, patterning the first bonding metal layer 2 by patterning photoresist to form a plurality of spaced alignment marks 21.
[0026] In this embodiment, the epitaxial layer 32 can be a single-color epitaxial layer or a multi-color stacked epitaxial layer. For example, the epitaxial layer 32 can be a red epitaxial layer, a green epitaxial layer, or a blue epitaxial layer; the epitaxial layer 32 can also be a two-color stacked epitaxial layer or a three-color stacked epitaxial layer. The two-color stacked epitaxial layer includes a blue-green stacked epitaxial layer, a red-green stacked epitaxial layer, and a red-blue stacked epitaxial layer. The three-color stacked epitaxial layer includes a red-green-blue stacked epitaxial layer and a red-green-violet stacked epitaxial layer. The epitaxial layer 32 can be selected as needed and is not limited here.
[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the first bonding metal layer 2 and the second bonding metal layer 5 include an adhesive layer N1, a barrier layer N2, and a eutectic alloy diffusion layer N3 stacked sequentially. The first bonding metal layer 2 and the second bonding metal layer 5 have multiple structures, which form an alloy during bonding. Therefore, metal brittleness occurs around the bonding markers during bonding, and the stacked structure C above the bonding markers is crushed. The eutectic alloy diffusion layer N3 can be made of a series of metals capable of forming a eutectic alloy system, i.e., an alloy system that undergoes a eutectic transformation during crystallization. The conditions can be set starting from the eutectic point in the binary metal phase diagram.
[0028] In this embodiment, the barrier layer N2 includes at least one of a Ti barrier layer, a Pt barrier layer, a Ni barrier layer, and an Al barrier layer. The barrier layer N2 can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure, which is not limited here and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0029] In this embodiment, the eutectic alloy diffusion layer N3 includes at least two of the following: Au metal layer, Sn metal layer, Ag metal layer, Cu metal layer, Al metal layer, and Pb metal layer. This is not limited to these two types, and other metal layers may also be included, which will not be elaborated upon here. Exemplarily, the eutectic alloy diffusion layer N3 is a multilayer structure including Au metal layers and Sn metal layers. Both the first bonding metal layer 2 and the second bonding metal layer 5 are AuSnAu eutectic alloy diffusion layers N3. Bonding involves pressure and temperature increases, and an AnSn alloy will form under high temperature and pressure. The AuSnAu structure consists of two Au metal layers and one Sn metal layer located between the two Au metal layers. This is not a limitation, and combinations can be selected according to actual needs.
[0030] In this embodiment, the material of the adhesive layer N1 includes at least one of Cr adhesive layer and Ti adhesive layer. The adhesive layer N1 can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure, which is not limited here and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0031] See Figure 6 As shown, removing the broken layered structure C above the alignment mark 21 includes performing the following steps: The layered structure C that broke above the alignment mark 21 was removed by blue film adhesion.
[0032] In this embodiment, the first electrode layer 4 is ITO. The thickness of the first electrode layer 4 ranges from 1000 Å to 1300 Å. In some embodiments, the first electrode layer 4 may be an electrode made of a metallic material, which can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here.
[0033] In this embodiment, the alignment mark 21 includes at least one of circles, squares, letters, and irregular shapes.
[0034] In this embodiment, the preset pressure ranges from 6000KG to 12000KG, and the preset temperature ranges from 260℃ to 320℃.
[0035] See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this application discloses a method for manufacturing a display backplane, the steps of which include: preparing a plurality of alignment marks 21, wherein the alignment marks 21 are obtained by the above-mentioned method for fabricating alignment marks of light-emitting chips; fabricating an LED chip by performing multiple process segments on the bonded driving substrate 1, wherein the film layer patterning in each process segment is obtained by respectively grasping the corresponding alignment marks 21, aligning the corresponding mask with the driving substrate 1, and performing pattern overlay; the multiple process segments include a mesa process segment, a bonding metal etching process segment, a passivation layer process segment, and an electrode process segment. For example, Figure 10The marking area 1C has four types of alignment markers 21, which can be used to accurately identify the corresponding alignment markers 21 in different process sections, thereby improving the accuracy of film patterning in each process section.
[0036] The coating layers in each process stage have a certain degree of transparency and will not affect the identification of alignment mark 21, so alignment mark 21 is generally not etched.
[0037] For example, in this embodiment, the LED chip is obtained by fabricating the bonded driving substrate 1 through multiple process stages. The patterning of the film layer in each process stage is obtained by grabbing the corresponding alignment mark points 21 and aligning the corresponding mask with the driving substrate 1 to perform pattern overlay. The multiple process stages include a mesa process stage, a bonding metal etching process stage, a passivation layer process stage, and an electrode process stage, and include the following steps: The steps of the mesa process segment and the bonding metal etching process segment include: setting a seventh photoresist layer on the epitaxial layer 32 on the bonded driving substrate 1, picking up the corresponding seventh alignment mark points, aligning the corresponding seventh mask with the driving substrate 1, patterning the seventh photoresist layer, etching the epitaxial layer 32 up to the driving substrate 1, obtaining multiple sub-epitaxy layers 321 with a stepped structure and first sub-electrodes corresponding one-to-one with the sub-epitaxy layers 321; removing the patterned seventh photoresist layer; the alignment mark point 21 includes the seventh alignment mark point, and the mask includes the seventh mask; The passivation layer process includes the following steps: depositing a passivation layer 6, setting an eighth photoresist layer on the surface of the passivation layer 6, picking up the corresponding eighth alignment marks, aligning the corresponding eighth mask with the driving substrate 1, patterning the eighth photoresist layer, etching the passivation layer 6 around each sub-epipolar layer 321 and opening holes on the mesa of the sub-epipolar layer 321, so that the passivation layer 6 covers the outer wall of the sub-epipolar layer 321, the driving substrate 1 around the sub-epipolar layer 321, and the mesa of the exposed sub-epipolar layer 321; The electrode process includes the following steps: depositing a common electrode layer 8 to connect each sub-epipolar layer 321; setting a ninth photoresist layer on the surface of the common electrode layer 8; picking up the corresponding ninth alignment marks; aligning the corresponding ninth mask with the driving substrate 1; patterning the ninth photoresist layer; etching the common electrode layer 8 around each sub-epipolar layer 321 to form a groove; connecting the common electrode layer 8 with the driving substrate 1 to achieve chip conduction; and the driving substrate 1 can drive each light-emitting structure individually or control it row-wise or column-wise to display the light emission.
[0038] In this embodiment, the multiple process segments also include a planarization layer 7 process segment.
[0039] For example, see Figures 11 to 17As shown, the LED chip is obtained by fabricating the bonded driving substrate 1 through multiple process stages. The patterning of the film layer in each process stage is obtained by grabbing the corresponding alignment mark points 21 and aligning the corresponding mask with the driving substrate 1 to perform pattern overlay. The multiple process stages include a mesa process stage, a bonding metal etching process stage, a passivation layer 6 process stage, and an electrode process stage. The multiple process stages also include a planarization layer 7 process stage, which includes the following steps: The mesa process section includes the following steps: depositing a first photoresist layer on the epitaxial layer 32 on the bonded driving substrate 1; grasping the corresponding first alignment mark points; aligning the corresponding first mask with the driving substrate 1; patterning the first photoresist layer; etching the epitaxial layer 32 up to the first electrode layer 4 to obtain multiple sub-epitaxy layers 321 with a stepped structure; and removing the patterned first photoresist layer. The alignment mark points 21 include first alignment mark points, and the mask includes a first mask, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the first photoresist layer disposed on the epitaxial layer 32 is patterned by grabbing the corresponding first alignment mark point, aligning the corresponding mask with the preset pattern on the driving substrate 1 and exposing it, so that the first photoresist layer forms a pattern complementary to the recessed area at the position corresponding to the recessed area. After development, the epitaxial layer 32 in the groove is etched by ICP dry etching, and the sub-epitaxy layer 321 is isolated to the first electrode layer 4.
[0040] The bonding metal etching process segment and the passivation layer 6 process segment include the following steps: See [link to relevant documentation] Figure 12 As shown, a passivation layer 6 is deposited, a second photoresist layer is formed on the surface of the passivation layer 6, corresponding second alignment marks 21 are picked up, the corresponding second mask is aligned with the driving substrate 1, the second photoresist layer is patterned, and the passivation layer 6 around each sub-epitaxial layer 321 is etched up to the driving substrate 1 to divide the first electrode layer 4 into first sub-electrodes corresponding one-to-one with the sub-epitaxial layer 321 and sub-passivation layers 6 covering the outer wall of the sub-epitaxial layer 321. A first pad P1 corresponding one-to-one with the first sub-electrodes is formed on the display area of the driving substrate 1; the patterned first... Two photoresist layers; wherein, the outer wall of the sub-epitaxial layer 321 includes the sidewall and mesa of the sub-epitaxial layer 321, the alignment mark point 21 further includes a second alignment mark point, and the mask further includes a second mask; a passivation layer 6 is deposited by PECVD to passivate the sidewall of the sub-epitaxial layer 321, a second photoresist layer of uniform thickness is spin-coated on the surface of the passivation layer 6, the second photoresist layer is patterned, and the passivation layer 6, the first electrode layer 4 and the metal bonding layer in the groove are etched by ICP dry etching, so that the first electrode layer 4 and the metal bonding layer under each sub-epitaxial layer 321 are disconnected, forming an independent P electrode for each pixel.

The alignment marks 21 also include the third alignment marks, and the mask also includes the third mask. The planarization layer 7 is deposited using ALD to passivate the sidewalls of the sub-epitaxial layer 321 to prevent damage to the sidewall passivation layer 6 caused by dry etching, which could lead to GaN exposure and leakage, short circuits, etc. The third photoresist layer is spin-coated onto the surface of the planarization layer 7, patterned, and then etched away the planarization layer 7 down to the mesa of the sub-epitaxial layer 321 using ICP dry etching to expose the mesa of the sub-epitaxial layer 321.

A fifth photoresist layer is disposed on the surface of the common electrode layer 8.

The patterned fifth photoresist layer is then removed. See Figure 17As shown, a sixth photoresist layer is formed on the driving substrate 1. This sixth photoresist layer is located on the side of the common electrode layer 8 away from the driving substrate 1. A corresponding sixth alignment mark is picked up, and the corresponding sixth mask is aligned with the driving substrate 1.
