Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

The content of each element can be adjusted according to different purposes, such as but not limited to adjusting the bandgap size, or when the semiconductor device is a light-emitting device, the main wavelength or peak wavelength of the light-emitting element can be adjusted accordingly.

[0145] The semiconductor device of the present invention is, for example, a light-emitting device (such as a light-emitting diode, a laser diode), a light-absorbing device (such as a photo-detector), or a non-light-emitting device. The composition and dopant of each layer included in the semiconductor device of the present invention can be analyzed by any suitable method, such as a secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS), and the thickness of each layer can be analyzed by any suitable method, such as a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or a scanning electron microscope (SEM), etc.

[0146] A person with ordinary knowledge in the art should understand that other components can be added on the basis of the embodiments described below. For example, if not specifically stated, a similar description of "a first layer (or structure) is located on a second layer (or structure)" may include an embodiment in which the first layer (or structure) is in direct contact with the second layer (or structure), and may also include an embodiment in which there is another structure between the first layer (or structure) and the second layer (or structure) and they are not in direct contact with each other. In addition, it should be understood that the upper and lower positional relationship of each layer (or structure) may change due to observation from different directions.

[0147] Furthermore, in the present invention, the statement that a layer or a structure “substantially consists of M” means that the main component of the layer or the structure is M, but does not exclude that the layer or the structure contains dopants or unavoidable impurities.

[0148] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The semiconductor device 1000 includes a semiconductor element 100 , a carrier 110 and a connecting member 9 located between the semiconductor element 100 and the carrier 110 .

[0149] The semiconductor device 100 includes an epitaxial structure 10, a first electrode 20, a second electrode 30 and an insulating structure 40. The first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 are located on the epitaxial structure 10, and the insulating structure 40 is located between the first electrode 20 and the epitaxial structure 10 and between the second electrode 30 and the epitaxial structure 10. The semiconductor device 100 may optionally include a substrate 50 and an adhesive layer 60 located between the substrate 50 and the epitaxial structure 10.

[0150] The epitaxial structure 10 includes a first semiconductor structure 11 having a first portion 111 and a second portion 112, an active structure 12 located on the second portion 112, and a second semiconductor structure 13 located on the active structure 12. In other words, the second portion 112 is sequentially covered by the active structure 12 and the second semiconductor structure 13, and the first portion 111 does not have any active structure 12 and second semiconductor structure 13. In this embodiment, a first contact structure 70 may be selectively provided on the first portion 111, and a second contact structure 80 may be selectively provided on the second semiconductor structure 13, and the first contact structure 70 is separated from the second contact structure 80. The provision of the first contact structure 70 and the second contact structure 80 helps to reduce the forward voltage (Vf) of the semiconductor device 100, thereby improving the electrical performance of the semiconductor device 100.

[0151] The insulating structure 40 covers the first portion 111 and the second portion 112, and includes a first opening 40a located on the first portion 111, and a second opening 40b located on the second portion 112. The insulating structure 40 further covers the first contact layer 70 and the second contact layer 80, and the first opening 40a exposes a portion of the first contact layer 70, and the second opening 40b exposes a portion of the second contact layer 80. The second electrode 30 is located on the second semiconductor structure 13, and is filled in the second opening 40b and is in contact with the second contact layer 80. A portion of the first electrode 20 is located on the first portion 111, and is filled in the first opening 40a and is connected to the first contact layer 70, and another portion of the first electrode 20 crosses over the second semiconductor structure 13 and is located on the second portion 112. The insulating structure 40 is located between the first electrode 20 and the second portion 112.

[0152] In the present embodiment, the thickness of the second semiconductor structure 13 is 1 μm to 2.5 μm, and the vertical distance between the second semiconductor structure 13 and the first portion 111 is 2 μm to 3.5 μm. In detail, the first portion 111 has a third surface 111a, the second semiconductor structure 13 has a fourth surface 13a, and the third surface 111a and the fourth surface 13a have a minimum vertical distance d of 2 μm to 3.5 μm. In the present embodiment, the first electrode 20 has a first surface 201 located on the first portion 111 and opposite to the first opening 40a, and a second surface 202 located on the second portion 112. There is a height difference G between the first surface 201 and the second surface 202 ranging from 4 μm to 8 μm, so that the semiconductor device 100 has good efficiency and reliability. In other words, the height difference G is the sum of the thickness of a portion of the second semiconductor structure 13 and the insulating structure 40. When the height difference G is less than 4 μm, the thickness T of the insulating structure 40 may be less than 1.5 μm, and thus may not be sufficient to provide complete protection, insulation and / or reflection effects; when the height difference G is greater than 8 μm, the semiconductor element 100 may have a risk of electrical failure after being subsequently bonded to a carrier 110. In this embodiment, the thickness T of the insulating structure 40 is 2 μm to 5 μm.

[0153] The semiconductor device 100 is connected to the carrier 110 through the connecting member 9. The connecting member 9 includes a first connecting structure 91 and a second connecting structure 92. The first connecting structure 91 is connected to the first electrode 20 and forms an electrical connection. In the present embodiment, the first connecting structure 91 includes a first cavity 911, a first conductive portion 912 and a first insulating portion 913. The first conductive portion 912 covers the first cavity 911 or the first cavity 911 is buried in the first conductive portion 912. The first insulating portion 913 is located between the first conductive portion 912 and the first cavity 911. In other words, the first conductive portion 912 covers the first insulating portion 913 or the first insulating portion 913 is buried in the first conductive portion 912. The first insulating portion 913 covers the first cavity 911 or the first cavity 911 is buried in the first insulating portion 913. In one embodiment, the first cavity 911 and the first insulating portion 913 are located opposite to the first opening 40a. The first cavity 911 may be vacuum or filled with gas (eg, nitrogen or air).

[0154] The second connection structure 92 is connected to the second electrode 30 and forms an electrical connection. In the present embodiment, the second connection structure 92 includes a second cavity 921, a second conductive portion 922 and a second insulating portion 923. The second conductive portion 922 covers the second cavity 921 or the second cavity 921 is buried in the second conductive portion 922. The second insulating portion 923 is located between the second conductive portion 922 and the second cavity 921. In other words, the second conductive portion 922 covers the second insulating portion 923 or the second insulating portion 923 is buried in the second conductive portion 922. The second insulating portion 923 covers the second cavity 921 or the second cavity 921 is buried in the second insulating portion 923. By means of the first connection structure 91 and / or the second connection structure 92 having the above-mentioned features, the semiconductor device 100 can have higher reliability and yield after being connected to the carrier 110. In another embodiment, the first connection structure 91 further includes a first mixed layer (not shown) located between the first cavity 911 and the first insulating layer 913, and the composition of the first mixed layer is different from that of the first insulating layer 913; the second connection structure 92 further includes a second mixed layer (not shown) located between the second cavity 921 and the second insulating layer 923, and the composition of the second mixed layer is different from that of the second insulating layer 923. For example, the first mixed layer and / or the second mixed layer may include a mixture or compound of metal or non-metal, wherein the metal includes elements such as gold, platinum, tin, titanium, nickel, gallium, and aluminum, and the non-metal includes elements such as carbon, oxygen, phosphorus, and silicon.

[0155] In order to enhance the bonding strength between the epitaxial structure 10 and the carrier 110, the connecting member 9 selectively has a third insulating portion 93 between the first connecting structure 91 and the second connecting structure 92. Specifically, the carrier 110 has a first electrode pad 1101 and a second electrode pad 1102 facing the epitaxial structure 10, and the third insulating portion 93 is located between the first electrode pad 1101, the second electrode pad 1102, the first electrode 20, the second electrode 30, the first connecting structure 91, the second connecting structure 92 and the insulating structure 40. The semiconductor device 100 selectively includes a fourth insulating portion 94 and a fifth insulating portion 95. The fourth insulating portion 94 is located outside the first connecting structure 91, so that the first connecting structure 91 is located between the third insulating portion 93 and the fourth insulating portion 94; the fifth insulating portion 95 is located outside the second connecting structure 92, so that the second connecting structure 92 is located between the fourth insulating portion 94 and the fifth insulating portion 95. The fourth insulating portion 94 and the fifth insulating portion 95 help protect the first connecting structure 91 and the second connecting structure 92 from being contaminated by external conductive materials and causing unexpected electrical failure. Furthermore, the fourth insulating portion 94 and the fifth insulating portion 95 can increase the bonding force between the semiconductor device 100 and the carrier 110.

[0156] The substrate 50 has an upper surface 51, which is a flat surface without any intentionally formed roughened structure or patterned structure on the upper surface 51, and in particular, the upper surface 51 does not include an intentionally formed regular patterned structure. In the present embodiment, the upper surface 51 has a first surface roughness. The epitaxial structure 10 has a lower surface 10a away from the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30, and the bonding layer 60 is used to combine the epitaxial structure 10 and the substrate 50, and the bonding layer 60 is located between the upper surface 51 of the substrate 50 and the lower surface 10a of the epitaxial structure 10. The lower surface 10a of the epitaxial structure 10 has a roughened structure or a patterned structure, and the lower surface 10a has a second surface roughness greater than the first surface roughness. In this embodiment, since the epitaxial structure 10 is grown on another growth substrate, and then the epitaxial structure is fixed on the substrate 50 through the bonding layer 60 by the wafer bonding technology, the lower surface 10a of the epitaxial structure 10, if having a larger roughness, is helpful to increase the mechanical strength after being combined with the substrate 50 and can increase the light extraction efficiency. Since the substrate 50 is not the growth substrate of the epitaxial structure 10, it is not necessary to form a patterned structure on the upper surface 51 through an additional manufacturing process, and the specification requirements for the substrate 50 are relatively low, thereby achieving the effect of saving the manufacturing process cost.

[0157] If the semiconductor element 100 is a light-emitting element, the bonding layer 60 and the substrate 50 are transparent to the light emitted by the active structure 12 (for example, the light transmittance of the bonding layer 60 and the substrate 50 to the active structure 112 is greater than 85%), so the light can be emitted from the semiconductor element 100 in the direction of the substrate 50.

Therefore, if the first contact structure 70 and the second contact structure 80 are metal or alloy with a lower resistance value, the photoelectric characteristics of the semiconductor device 100 will be more excellent.
