[0002] This specification relates to the field of semiconductor electronic components, and specifically to Micro-LED display chips and their manufacturing methods.

Background Art

[0003] With the emergence of micro-LED (Micro-LED) display technology, high-resolution micro-devices such as augmented reality (AR), near-eye display (NED) devices, and wearable display devices are made as display devices. Micro-LEDs have great market potential due to advantages such as small size, high brightness, fast response, and long lifespan.

[0004] Currently, Micro-led full-color display chips usually incorporate a wavelength conversion layer into a monochromatic display chip, set the three primary colors RGB required for full-color display, and meet the full-color display requirements. However, the LED array of micro-LED display is densely integrated, and the LED pixel pitch within the array is in the unit of 0.1 to 100 microns. The smaller the pixel of the Micro-led display chip, the more difficult it is to fabricate the wavelength conversion layer, and the fabrication of the Micro-led display chip for color display becomes significantly more difficult.

[0006] In an embodiment of this specification, a method for manufacturing a Micro-LED display chip is provided, including providing a driving substrate including a driving circuit and a contact electrically connected to the driving circuit, providing a first LED layer including a plurality of first LED units, a first filling structure located between the first LED units, and a first columnar conductor penetrating the first filling structure, bonding the first LED layer and the driving substrate so that the first LED unit and the first columnar conductor are electrically connected to the contact respectively, and arranging a second LED layer on the first LED layer, where the second LED layer includes a plurality of second LED units and a second filling structure located between the second LED units, and the second LED units are electrically connected to the first columnar conductor directly below them, and the emission colors of the second LED units and the first LED units are different.

[0007] In an embodiment of this specification, a Micro-LED display chip is provided, including a driving substrate including a driving circuit and a contact electrically connected to the driving circuit, a first LED layer including a plurality of first LED units, a first filling structure located between the first LED units, and a first columnar conductor penetrating the first filling structure, the first LED layer being arranged on the driving substrate so as to be electrically connected to the contact together with the first columnar conductor respectively, a second LED layer including a plurality of second LED units and a second filling structure located between the second LED units, the second LED layer being electrically connected to the first columnar conductor directly below it, and the emission color of the second LED layer being different from that of the first LED units.

[0008] In an embodiment of this specification, a display panel is provided, and the display panel includes any of the above Micro-LED display chips.

[0009] In an embodiment of this specification, a display device is provided, and the display device includes any of the above Micro-LED display chips.

[0010] The manufacturing method of the Micro-LED display chip according to the embodiment of this specification is to arrange a filling structure between a plurality of first LED units of a first LED layer, and arrange a first columnar conductor penetrating the first filling structure between the fillers. The first LED unit and the first columnar conductor are respectively electrically connected to a driving circuit through contacts. A plurality of second LED units and a second filling structure located between the second LED units are arranged on the first LED layer. The second LED unit is electrically connected to the first columnar conductor directly below it. By making the emission colors of the second LED unit and the first LED unit different, multi-color display is realized. Since the LED display chip can realize multi-color display even without a wavelength conversion layer, the difficulty of manufacturing the LED chip is reduced to a certain extent.

[0011] Furthermore, after forming the first LED layer and the second LED layer respectively, by sequentially connecting the first LED layer and the second LED layer to the driving substrate, the driving substrate can drive and control the first LED unit and the second LED unit individually, reduce the number of times the driving substrate is inserted into the process, protect the driving substrate, and avoid damage to the driving substrate to a certain extent in the manufacturing process. Therefore, the yield of the Micro-LED display chip is improved to a certain extent and the cost is reduced.

[0014] Embodiments of this specification provide a method for manufacturing a Micro-LED display chip. The method for manufacturing the Micro-LED display chip includes the following steps.

[0015] S110: Provide a driving substrate 300, and the driving substrate 300 includes a driving circuit and contacts electrically connected to the driving circuit.

[0016] Refer to FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the driving substrate 300 includes a semiconductor material. The semiconductor material may be at least one of silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, germanium, gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, etc. The driving substrate 300 may be composed of a non-conductive material such as glass, plastic, or sapphire wafer. The driving substrate 300 may be a CMOS substrate or a TFT substrate. The driving substrate 300 includes a driving circuit, and the driving circuit (not shown in FIG. 1) provides an electrical signal to the LED unit and controls the brightness of the LED unit using the electrical signal. It can be understood that the LED unit means one or more of the first LED unit 210, the second LED unit 410, and the third LED unit 510.

[0017] Refer to FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the driving substrate 300 includes contacts 310. There may be a plurality of contacts 310, and the contacts 310 may be spaced apart from each other. The material of the contacts 310 includes at least one of Cu, Ag, Au, Al, W, Mo, Ni, Ti, Pt, Pd, etc. Each of the contacts 310 is connected to the driving circuit and the LED unit, so that through the electrical connection between the driving circuit and the LED unit, the driving of the driving circuit for the LED unit is realized, and the LED unit is caused to emit light. The contacts 310 may be located on the surface of the substrate, which is advantageous for the electrical connection between the driving circuit and the LED unit.

[0018] S120: Provide the first LED layer 200. The first LED layer 200 includes a plurality of first LED units 210, a first filling structure 220 located between the first LED units 210, and a first columnar conductor 221 penetrating the first filling structure 220.

[0019] Refer to FIG. 2a. In some embodiments, the first LED unit 210 is formed by processing a first LED epitaxial layer 200a including a first doped semiconductor layer 211, an active layer 212, and a second doped semiconductor layer 213. In the first LED epitaxial layer 200a, a part of the thickness of a part of the first doped semiconductor layer 211, the active layer 212, and the second doped semiconductor layer 213 can be removed to form the first LED unit 210.

[0020] In some embodiments, the materials of the first doped semiconductor layer 211 and the second doped semiconductor layer 213 may be II-VI or III-V nitrides. Specifically, for example, the first doped semiconductor layer 211 and the second doped semiconductor layer 213 may each be a single-layer or multi-layer semiconductor structure composed of one or more of ZnSe, ZnO, GaN, AlN, InN, InGaN, GaP, AlInGaP, or AlGaAs. The active layer 212 may be any of a single quantum well structure, a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure, or a structure in which quantum wells and barrier layers are stacked. The active layer 212 is located between the first doped semiconductor layer 211 and the second doped semiconductor layer 213. Holes and electrons are excited in the active layer 212 to generate light of a specific wavelength.

[0021] In some embodiments, the first doped semiconductor layer 211 may be a P-type semiconductor layer, and the second doped semiconductor layer 213 may be an N-type semiconductor layer. The first doped semiconductor layer 211 and the second doped semiconductor layer 213 may each be electrically connected to the contact 310 and the common electrode 600, and the common electrode 600 may be a cathode. The contact 310 may be electrically connected to the first doped semiconductor layer 211 via an anode. In some embodiments, the first doped semiconductor layer 211 may be an N-type semiconductor layer, while the second doped semiconductor layer 213 is a P-type semiconductor layer.

[0022] Refer to FIG. 2a. In some embodiments, the first LED epitaxial layer 200a includes a first doped semiconductor layer 211, an active layer 212, and a second doped semiconductor layer 213. The first LED epitaxial layer 200a may be grown and formed on a substrate 100. The substrate 100 may be any of sapphire, Si, GaAs, InP, GaN, AlN, SiC substrates, etc.

[0023] In some embodiments, the first LED layer 200 includes a plurality of first LED units 210, and the first LED units 210 can be independently driven. The first LED unit 210 includes a first doped semiconductor layer 211, an active layer 212, and a second doped semiconductor layer 213. The first doped semiconductor layer 211 may be used for electrical connection to a contact 310, and the second doped semiconductor layer 213 may be used for electrical connection to a common electrode 600.

[0024] In some embodiments, a conductive layer may be formed on the first doped semiconductor layer 211 of the first LED unit 210. The conductive layer may be a metal material or indium tin oxide. The first LED unit 210 and the contact are electrically connected through the conductive layer of the first doped semiconductor layer 211.

[0025] Refer to FIGS. 2a and 2b. In some embodiments, in the step of providing the first LED layer, providing the first LED epitaxial layer 200a, etching the first LED epitaxial layer 200a to form a plurality of first LED units 210, each of the first LED 210 units including a first doped semiconductor layer 211, an active layer 212, and a second doped semiconductor layer 213, and the second doped semiconductor layers 213 of adjacent first LED units 210 being connected to each other. The first LED epitaxial layer 200a includes the first doped semiconductor layer 211, the active layer 212, and the second doped semiconductor layer 213. It can be understood that a partial region of the first doped semiconductor layer 211, the active layer 212, and a partial thickness of the second doped semiconductor layer 213 are removed to form a plurality of first LED units 210. A partial region of the first doped semiconductor layer 211 and the active layer 212 are completely removed, while the second doped semiconductor layer 213 is partially retained. In contrast, a plurality of first LED units 210 are formed, and the first LED units 210 are connected to each other via the second doped semiconductor layer 213. FIG. 2b shows two first LED units 210 connected by the second doped semiconductor layer 213. A partial region of the first LED epitaxial layer 200a may be removed in the etching process. Specifically, the etching process may be dry etching or wet etching.

[0026] In some embodiments, in the step of providing the first LED layer 200, providing a first LED epitaxial layer 200a, etching the first LED epitaxial layer 200a to form a plurality of first LED units 210 spaced apart from each other, and each of the first LED units 210 includes a first doped semiconductor layer 211, an active layer 212, and a second doped semiconductor layer 213. Specifically, a first LED epitaxial layer 200a may be provided, but the first LED epitaxial layer 200a includes a first doped semiconductor layer 211, an active layer 212, and a second doped semiconductor layer 213, and a partial region of the first LED epitaxial layer 200a is removed to form a plurality of first LED units 210 spaced apart from each other. With respect to a partial region of the first LED epitaxial layer 200a being removed, a plurality of first LED units 210 are formed in the non-removed first LED epitaxial layer 200a, and a spatial gap is provided between the plurality of first LED units 210 to form a plurality of first LED units 210 spaced apart from each other.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first LED units 210 are independent of each other. Since the first LED units 210 are formed by removing a part or all of the thickness in a partial region of the first LED epitaxial layer 200a, no first LED epitaxial layer 200a is retained between the plurality of first LED units 210, or only a part of the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200a of the first LED unit 210 is retained. Therefore, an uneven surface is formed between the plurality of first LED units 210.

[0028] Refer to FIG. 2c. In some embodiments, the step of providing the first LED layer includes disposing the first filling structure 220 between the first LED units 210. The first LED layer 200 includes a first filling structure 220 that forms a first flat surface from a plurality of first LED units 210. By disposing the first filling structure 220, the unevenness characteristics of the surface formed by the plurality of first LED units 210 are reduced. By disposing the first filling structure 220, the thickness of the first LED layer 200 in each region is substantially the same, so that a first flat surface is formed.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first filling structure 220 is disposed between the first LED units 210, and the first filling structure 220 is at least located in the circumferential direction of the first LED units 210. Refer to FIG. 2c. The first filling structure 220 may be located in the circumferential direction of the first LED units 210. Refer to FIG. 3a. Alternatively, the first filling structure 220 covers the first LED units 210. Specifically, the first filling structure 220 may be formed by at least one of processes such as deposition and coating. The material of the first filling structure 220 may be selected from polyimide, wall protection tape, OC adhesive, SU8 photoresist, or benzocyclobutene (BCB). Refer to FIG. 2d. In some embodiments, a first columnar conductor 221 penetrating the first filling structure 220 is disposed in the first filling structure 220. A first opening penetrating the first filling structure 220 is formed, a conductive material is disposed in the first opening, and the first columnar conductor 221 is formed. The material of the first columnar conductor 221 may be a transparent conductive material. Specifically, for example, the transparent conductive material may be indium tin oxide. Of course, the material of the first columnar conductor 221 further includes a metal material. The first columnar conductor 221 is used for the electrical connection between the first LED unit 210 and the contact 310. Also, the first columnar conductor 221 is used for the electrical connection between the first LED unit 210 and an LED unit having a different emission color and the contact 310. For example, the electrical connection between the second LED unit and the contact 310.

[0030] The first LED layer 200 includes a first filling structure 220. The first filling structure 220 is advantageous for the planarization of the first LED layer 200 and reduces the difficulty of bonding between the first LED layer and the driving substrate 300. Further, the first filling structure 220 plays a role in protecting and stabilizing the first LED unit. For the first LED units 210 spaced apart from each other, the first filling structure 220 also improves the difficulty of bonding between the first LED unit 210 and the driving substrate 300 and the stability after bonding between the first LED unit 210 and the driving substrate 300, reduces the peeling risk of the first LED unit 210 in the manufacturing process, and improves the yield of the Micro-LED display chip.

[0031] S130: Bond the first LED layer 200 and the driving substrate 300, and the first LED unit 210 and the first columnar conductor 221 are each electrically connected to the contact point 310.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 2e. In some embodiments, the first LED unit 210 and the first columnar conductor 221 are each electrically connected to the contact point 310. The first LED layer 200 includes the first columnar conductor 221 located between the first LED units 210. Further, the first LED layer 200 includes the first columnar conductor 221 in contact with the first doped semiconductor layer 211 of the first LED unit 210. The first LED unit 210 is electrically connected to the contact point 310 through the first columnar conductor 221. In some embodiments, the first filling structure 220 is only located in the circumferential direction of the first LED unit 210, and the first columnar conductor 221 may not be disposed between the first LED unit 210 and the first columnar conductor 221, but the first LED unit 210 is electrically connected to the contact point 310 through the first doped semiconductor layer 211.

[0033] After forming the first LED layer 200 including the first LED unit 210, the first filling structure 220, and the first columnar conductor 221, the process flow of bonding the driving substrate 300 is used to protect the driving substrate 300 and improve the yield. If there is a defect in the first LED layer 200, only the first LED layer 200 can be repaired or discarded without affecting the driving substrate 300, which is advantageous for cost reduction.

[0034] S140: Place the second LED layer 400 on the first LED layer 200. The second LED layer 400 includes a plurality of second LED units 410 and a second filling structure 420 located between the second LED units 410. Electrically connect the second LED unit 410 to the first columnar conductor 221 directly below it, and the emission colors of the second LED unit 410 and the first LED unit 210 are different.

[0035] Refer to FIGS. 2c, 2b and 2f. In some embodiments, the first LED epitaxial layer 200a is etched to form a plurality of first LED units 210, each of the first LED units 210 includes a first doped semiconductor layer 211, an active layer 212 and a second doped semiconductor layer 213, and when the second doped semiconductor layers 213 of adjacent first LED units 210 are connected to each other, before the step of disposing the second LED layer 400 on the first LED layer, further, the second doped semiconductor layer 213 of the first LED unit 210 is thinned until the tip of the first columnar conductor 221 is exposed, and the plurality of first LED units 210 after thinning are spaced apart from each other. To thin the second doped semiconductor layer 213 of the first LED unit 210, it may be thinned by etching, or each region of the second doped semiconductor layer 213 is thinned simultaneously. Due to the surface contact between the first filling structure 220 and the second doped semiconductor layer 213, the first columnar conductor 221 penetrates the first filling structure 220. Therefore, when the tip of the first columnar conductor 221 is exposed, the second doped semiconductor layer 213 that realizes the connection of the plurality of first LED units 210 is blocked, and on the first columnar conductor 221, the surface opposite to the first doped semiconductor layer 211 is exposed, and the plurality of first LED units 210 are spaced apart from each other, and the first filling structure 220 is between the first LED units 210.

[0036] Retain a part of the thickness of the second doped semiconductor layer 213, and after bonding the first LED layer 200 and the driving substrate 300, thin the second doped semiconductor layer 213 to improve the stability of the first LED unit 210 and prevent the first LED unit 210 from falling off during the bonding process. Also, after thinning, the plurality of first LED units 210 are spaced apart from each other, which contributes to the electrical connection and independent driving of the second LED unit 410 and the contact point 310.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first LED layer 200 is disposed on the surface of the substrate 100, or the first LED epitaxial layer 200a is grown on the substrate 100 to be formed. Before thinning the second doped semiconductor layer 213 of the first LED unit 210, it includes removing the substrate 100. In order to retain a part of the thickness of the second doped semiconductor layer 213, a part of the risk that the first LED unit 210 is simultaneously removed in the substrate 100 removal process is reduced, and the manufacturing yield is improved to a certain extent.

[0038] In some embodiments, after forming a plurality of first LED units 210 spaced apart from each other, a conductive layer is formed on the second doped semiconductor layer 213 of the first LED unit 210. The conductive material of the conductive layer is a metal material or indium tin oxide. The first LED unit 210 is electrically connected to the second columnar conductor 421 through the conductive layer of the second doped semiconductor layer 213. FIG. 2f does not show the conductive layer of the second doped semiconductor layer 213. In some embodiments, a conductive layer is disposed on the surfaces of the first doped semiconductor layer and the second doped semiconductor layer of the LED unit, and the conductive layer is used for the electrical connection between the LED unit and the corresponding contact or the corresponding columnar conductor. The LED unit may be the first LED unit, or the second LED unit, or the third LED unit.

[0039] Referring to FIGS. 2g and 2h. In some embodiments, in the step of disposing the second LED layer 400 on the first LED layer 200, providing the second LED layer 400, the second LED layer 400 includes a plurality of second LED units 410 and a second filling structure 420 located between the second LED units 410, joining the second LED layer 400 and the first LED layer 200, and electrically connecting the second LED unit 410 to the first columnar conductor 221 directly below it, so as to realize the electrical connection with the contact 310.

[0040] In some embodiments, the second LED epitaxial layer 400a includes a first doped semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second doped semiconductor layer. Referring to FIG. 2a, it can be understood that the first doped semiconductor layer, the active layer, and the second doped semiconductor layer are not shown in FIG. 2g respectively. The first doped semiconductor layer and the second doped semiconductor layer included in the second LED epitaxial layer 400a may be the same as or different from the first doped semiconductor layer 211 and the second doped semiconductor layer 213 included in the first LED epitaxial layer 200a.

[0041] In some embodiments, the second LED unit 410 is formed by processing a second LED epitaxial layer 400a including a first doped semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second doped semiconductor layer. Refer to the formation of the first LED unit 210. There may be a space between the second LED units 410 formed after processing the second LED epitaxial layer 400a, or they may be connected through the second doped semiconductor layer. FIG. 2h shows two second LED units 410.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second filling structure 420 refers to the first filling structure 220. Refer to FIG. 2i. In some embodiments, the second filling structure 420 is at least located in the circumferential direction of the second LED unit 410. Specifically, the second filling structure 420 may be located in the circumferential direction of the second LED unit 410, or the second filling structure 420 may cover the second LED unit 410.

[0043] In some embodiments, a conductive layer may be formed on the surface of the first doped semiconductor layer of the second LED unit 410. The conductive material of the conductive layer is a metal material or indium tin oxide. The second LED unit 210 and the first columnar conductor 221 are electrically connected through the conductive layer on the surface of the first doped semiconductor layer of the second LED unit 210. The conductive layer on the surface of the first doped semiconductor layer is not shown in FIGS. 2j and 2k.

[0044] Refer to FIG. 2j. In some embodiments, a second columnar conductor 421 penetrating a second filling structure 420 is disposed in the second LED layer 400, and the number and position of the second columnar conductors 421 are arranged by the first LED unit 210. The second LED layer 400 includes a second columnar conductor 421 located directly above the first LED unit 210. The second columnar conductor 421 is used for the electrical connection between the first LED unit 210 and the common electrode 600.

[0045] Refer to FIG. 2k. In some embodiments, the second LED unit 410 realizes the electrical connection with the contact point 310 through the electrical connection with the first columnar conductor 221 directly below it. In some embodiments, the second LED unit 410 and the first LED unit 210 are spaced apart from each other. The orthographic projection of the first columnar conductor 221 directly below the second LED unit 410 in the second LED unit 410 is located within the first doped semiconductor layer of the second LED unit 410. The first doped semiconductor layer of the second LED unit 410 is electrically connected to the first columnar conductor 221 directly below the second LED unit 410, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the second LED unit 410 and the contact point 310. In some embodiments, the first doped semiconductor layer of the second LED unit 410 and the first columnar conductor 221 are electrically connected to realize the electrical connection by direct contact.

[0046] In some embodiments, a second columnar conductor 421 penetrating the second filling structure 420 is disposed in the second LED layer 400. The second columnar conductors 421 located directly above the first LED unit 210 are electrically connected to the second doped semiconductor layer 213 of the first LED unit 210 respectively, which is advantageous for the electrical connection between the first LED unit 210 and the common electrode 600. The emission color of the second LED unit 410 is different from that of the first LED unit 210. Even without a wavelength conversion structure, multi-color display can be realized, the difficulty of manufacturing can be reduced, and the manufacturing efficiency can be improved.

[0047] Refer to FIG. 2l. In some embodiments, the second LED epitaxial layer 400a is disposed on the substrate 100. When the second LED layer 400 and the first LED layer 200 are bonded, it includes the removal of the substrate 100. When connected to the second doped semiconductor layer of the second LED unit 410, it includes thinning the second LED layer 400 until the tip of the second columnar conductor 421 is exposed. Specifically, since reference can be made to thinning the second doped semiconductor layer 213 of the first LED unit 210 described above until the tip of the first columnar conductor 221 is exposed, it is omitted here.
