Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor light-emitting devices, specifically relating to a MIP display device integrated wafer and its fabrication method, an MIP display device, and an RGB full-color display screen. Background Technology
[0002] Existing LED COB (Chip on Board) displays typically employ a method of transferring red, green, and blue LED chips separately onto a substrate to achieve full-color display. This approach requires the simultaneous use of three different colored LED chips. Red LED chips are usually based on AlGaInP or GaAs material systems, and their manufacturing cost is significantly higher than that of blue and green chips based on InGaN materials. Furthermore, the sequential transfer and repair of the three different colored chips on the substrate surface involves multiple independent transfer and repair processes, resulting in numerous process steps and high alignment accuracy requirements. This makes it difficult to improve process yield and keeps the overall manufacturing cost high.
[0003] Therefore, how to reduce the manufacturing cost and process complexity of displays is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a MIP display device integrated wafer and its fabrication method, a MIP display device, and an RGB full-color display screen. In the MIP display device integrated wafer provided by the present invention, full-color display is achieved by placing luminescent materials or phosphors on the cavity walls of the reflective cavity, thereby utilizing a single blue LED chip array in conjunction with color conversion materials. Simultaneously, this structure eliminates the need for strict wavelength grading and screening, allowing the use of chips from the entire integrated wafer, reducing material screening losses. The blue LED chip unit has independent P and N electrodes, combined with a silicon-based isolation reflective layer, structurally adaptable to flip-chip structures, possessing excellent heat dissipation paths, and compatible with Mini LED and Micro LED displays. The LED-level chip size design enables high brightness and wide color gamut display. The reflective isolation wall and the electrical isolation groove correspond in the projection, achieving both electrical and optical isolation between adjacent pixel units. The reflective cavity formed by the reflective isolation wall can effectively limit the light emission angle of each pixel unit, avoiding light crosstalk between adjacent pixels. At the same time, it has a reflection enhancement effect on excitation light and conversion light, improving light extraction efficiency and display contrast. In addition, the integrated wafer adopts a one-piece integrated form, and can be obtained as an independent MIP display device by subsequent dicing and separation. There is no need to perform massive transfer operations on the three RGB chips separately, reducing the number of transfers and alignment accuracy requirements, reducing the difficulty of the packaging process and the risk of fragmentation, thereby reducing packaging costs and improving packaging efficiency.

[0029] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for fabricating an integrated wafer for a MIP display device as described in the first aspect, the method comprising the following steps: Provide silicon substrates.
[0030] A blue light-emitting layer is epitaxially grown on the silicon substrate.
[0031] The blue light-emitting layer is patterned and etched to form several blue LED chip units arranged in an array. Then, P electrodes and N electrodes are deposited on the surface of each blue LED chip unit to obtain a semi-finished product.
[0032] An insulating layer is prepared on the electrode side surface of the semi-finished product, the insulating layer covering the blue LED chip unit and filling the electrical isolation groove between adjacent blue LED chip units.
[0033] The insulating layer is patterned to expose the P and N electrodes of the blue LED chip unit, and the P and N electrodes of the blue LED chip unit are led out to preset pad positions through the lead connection layer.
[0034] The silicon substrate is post-processed to form a silicon-based isolation reflective layer; the silicon-based isolation reflective layer includes a plurality of reflective isolation walls arranged in an array, and the projection of the reflective isolation walls on the blue LED chip unit array is located in the region where the electrical isolation trench is located.
[0035] A luminescent or transparent material is coated on the cavity wall of the reflective cavity formed by the adjacent reflective isolation walls to form an RGB pixel unit with the corresponding blue LED chip unit.
[0036] This invention sequentially completes the epitaxial growth of a blue emitting layer, patterning etching, electrode fabrication, insulating layer fabrication, and the formation of a silicon-based isolation and reflective layer on a silicon substrate. The process is highly concentrated, significantly simplified, and greatly improves packaging efficiency. Furthermore, this fabrication method only requires the epitaxial growth of a single blue emitting layer, eliminating the need to grow three different colored epitaxial layers separately. Because the subsequent color conversion of the emitting material has a wide adaptation range to blue light wavelengths, fine wavelength grading is unnecessary, reducing chip screening losses and improving material utilization. This fabrication method eliminates the need for high-precision mass transfer of the three different RGB color chips, avoiding losses in the mass transfer process and significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and cost. In this fabrication method, the array arrangement of the blue LED chip units and the coating method of the emitting material can be flexibly adjusted according to pixel design requirements, compatible with both real-pixel and virtual-pixel display architectures, providing high flexibility. The projection position of the reflective isolation wall corresponds to the area where the electrical isolation trench is located, achieving the synergistic formation of electrical and optical isolation under the same process, simplifying the process, reducing the risk of accumulated process deviations, and effectively controlling optical crosstalk between adjacent pixels.
[0037] Preferably, the epitaxial growth method of the blue luminescent layer includes MOCVD. It should be noted that "MOCVD" refers to metal-organic chemical vapor deposition.
[0038] Preferably, the patterning etching method includes dry etching. For example, the following steps may be employed: 1) Pretreatment and hard mask deposition Clean, and then deposit a mask layer.
[0039] 2) Photolithographic pattern transfer Photoresist is spin-coated, then exposed and developed. The mask layer exposed in a specific area is then removed to expose the blue light-emitting layer to be etched.
[0040] The blue light-emitting layer to be etched is removed from the target area by etching, forming several blue LED chip units arranged in an array.
[0041] Preferably, the method for preparing the insulating layer includes any one or a combination of at least two of the following: spraying, spin coating, dispensing, or inkjet printing.
[0042] Preferably, the patterning process includes sequential photolithography and etching processes.
[0043] Preferably, the post-processing includes a thinning process and an etching process performed sequentially.

The mask layer is patterned to expose a specific area of the silicon substrate, and then etched to form several arrayed reflective isolation walls. Remove the remaining mask and protective layers.

[0046] Fourthly, the present invention provides an RGB full-color display screen, the RGB full-color display screen including the MIP display device as described in the third aspect.

Due to space limitations and for the sake of brevity, this invention will not exhaustively list all the specific point values included in the range.
[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The MIP display device integrated wafer provided by this invention achieves full-color display by placing luminescent materials or phosphors on the cavity walls of the reflective cavity, thereby utilizing a single blue LED chip array in conjunction with color conversion materials. Simultaneously, this structure eliminates the need for strict wavelength grading and screening, allowing the use of chips from the entire integrated wafer, reducing material screening losses. The blue LED chip unit has independent P and N electrodes, coupled with a silicon-based isolation reflective layer, structurally adaptable to flip-chip structures, possessing excellent heat dissipation paths, and compatible with Mini LED and Micro LED. The LED-level chip size design enables high brightness and wide color gamut display. The reflective isolation wall and the electrical isolation groove correspond in the projection, achieving both electrical and optical isolation between adjacent pixel units. The reflective cavity formed by the reflective isolation wall can effectively limit the light emission angle of each pixel unit, avoiding light crosstalk between adjacent pixels. At the same time, it has a reflection enhancement effect on excitation light and conversion light, improving light extraction efficiency and display contrast. In addition, the integrated wafer adopts a one-piece integrated form, and can be obtained as an independent MIP display device by subsequent dicing and separation. There is no need to perform massive transfer operations on the three RGB chips separately, reducing the number of transfers and alignment accuracy requirements, reducing the difficulty of the packaging process and the risk of fragmentation, thereby reducing packaging costs and improving packaging efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0056] The technical solution of the present invention will be further illustrated below through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way.
[0057] The scope of this invention can be defined by lower and upper limits. The selected lower and upper limits define the boundaries of a specific range. The range defined in this way can be defined by the inclusion or exclusion of endpoints. Any endpoint can be independently selected for inclusion or exclusion, and all lower and upper limits can be arbitrarily combined to form new ranges. That is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form an effective range. For example, if the ranges of 60~120 and 80~110 are listed for specific parameters, it should be understood that the ranges of 60~110 and 80~120 also fall within the scope of this invention. In addition, if the minimum range values 1 and 2 are listed, and the maximum range values 3, 4 and 5 are also listed, then all ranges of 1~3, 1~4, 1~5, 2~3, 2~4 and 2~5 fall within the scope of this invention. In this invention, the numerical range "a~b" represents a shortened representation of any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are both real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0~5" means that all real numbers between 0 and 5 have been fully listed in this document, and "0~5" is only a shortened representation of this set of numerical combinations. When a parameter is expressed as an integer ≥2, it is equivalent to listing positive integers that meet the requirements, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc. When a parameter is expressed as an integer selected from "2~10", it is equivalent to listing any integer among 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
[0058] In this invention, "a combination of at least two" refers to a quantity greater than or equal to 2 unless otherwise specified. For example, "any one or a combination of at least two" means that any one of the listed items can be selected, or a combination of at least two of the listed items formed in a manner that does not conflict and enables the implementation of this invention. In this invention, unless otherwise specified, the features or solutions corresponding to "and / or" cover any one of two or more related listed items, as well as any and all combinations of the related listed items. The arbitrary and all combinations include any two related listed items, any more related listed items, or a combination of all related listed items. For example, "A and / or B" means a set consisting of A, B, and combinations of A and B, where "containing A and / or B" can be understood, depending on the context of the statement, as containing A, containing B, or simultaneously containing both A and B. In this invention, "optional" means that the corresponding feature, component, step or solution is not necessary, that is, it is selected from either "with" or "without". If there are multiple "optional" limitations in a technical solution, unless otherwise specified and there is no technical conflict or mutual constraint, each "optional" limitation is independent and does not affect the others.
[0059] In this invention, technical features or solutions described using open-ended terms such as "comprising" or "including" do not exclude additional non-conflicting elements beyond the listed elements unless otherwise specified. They are considered to disclose both closed-ended features or solutions consisting solely of the listed elements and open-ended features or solutions that may include additional non-conflicting elements beyond the listed elements. For example, if A includes a1, a2, and a3, unless otherwise specified, this means that A can consist only of a1, a2, and a3, or it can include other non-conflicting elements based on a1, a2, and a3. This corresponds to the disclosure of technical solutions such as "A consists of a1, a2, and a3," "A is selected from a1, a2, and a3," and "A not only includes a1, a2, and a3, but may also include other non-conflicting elements." All embodiments and optional embodiments of this invention, unless otherwise specified and without technical conflict, can be combined to form new technical solutions, and such combinations fall within the scope of this invention. The term "embodiment" as used in this invention means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment or implementation of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various locations throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand, explicitly and implicitly, that the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with other embodiments that do not conflict with the technology. The ordinal numbers "first," "second," "third," and "fourth," etc., used in the expressions "first aspect," "second aspect," "third aspect," and "fourth aspect" in this invention are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or quantity, nor should they be construed as implicitly specifying the importance or quantity of the indicated technical features. They serve only as a non-exhaustive enumeration and do not constitute a closed limitation on quantity.
[0060] In this invention, the order in which the steps are written in the methods described in each embodiment does not imply a strict execution order. The actual execution order of each step should be determined based on its function and possible internal logic. Unless otherwise specified, all steps of this invention can be executed in the order they are written, or in any order without technical conflict. For example, if the method includes steps (a) and (b), it means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) executed sequentially, or it may include steps (b) and (a) executed sequentially. If the method also includes step (c), then step (c) can be added to the method in any order without conflict, including but not limited to the execution order of steps (a), (b), and (c), steps (a), (c), and (b), steps (c), (a), and (b), etc.

The test criteria are: within the driving current range, if all three RGB pixel units emit light normally, it is judged as qualified (OK); if any pixel unit does not light up, it is judged as unqualified (NG); for the leakage current: under 5V reverse bias, if the leakage current does not exceed the preset threshold, it is judged as qualified. Test results: All three pixel units of the MIP display device provided in this embodiment are lit, and the reverse leakage current meets the requirements, so the whole is judged as qualified (OK).
[0090] This embodiment further provides an RGB full-color display screen, which includes a substrate and the above-mentioned MIP display device disposed on the substrate.
[0091] In summary, the MIP display device integrated wafer provided by this invention achieves full-color display by placing luminescent materials or phosphors on the cavity walls of the reflective cavity, thereby utilizing a single blue LED chip array in conjunction with color conversion materials. Simultaneously, this structure eliminates the need for strict wavelength grading and screening, allowing the use of chips from the entire integrated wafer, thus reducing material screening losses. The blue LED chip unit has independent P and N electrodes, and with the silicon-based isolation reflective layer, the structure is structurally compatible with flip-chip structures, possesses excellent heat dissipation paths, and is compatible with Mini LED and Micro LED. The LED-level chip size design enables high brightness and wide color gamut display. The reflective isolation wall and the electrical isolation groove correspond in the projection, achieving both electrical and optical isolation between adjacent pixel units. The reflective cavity formed by the reflective isolation wall can effectively limit the light emission angle of each pixel unit, avoiding light crosstalk between adjacent pixels. At the same time, it has a reflection enhancement effect on excitation light and conversion light, improving light extraction efficiency and display contrast. In addition, the integrated wafer adopts a one-piece integrated form, and can be obtained as an independent MIP display device by subsequent dicing and separation. There is no need to perform massive transfer operations on the three RGB chips separately, reducing the number of transfers and alignment accuracy requirements, reducing the difficulty of the packaging process and the risk of fragmentation, thereby reducing packaging costs and improving packaging efficiency.
