Abstract
Post-processing steps for integrating of micro devices into system (receiver) substrate or improving the performance of the micro devices after transfer. Post processing steps for additional structures such as reflective layers, fillers, black matrix or other layers may be used to improve the out coupling or confining of the generated LED light. Dielectric and metallic layers may be used to integrate an electro-optical thin film device into the system substrate with transferred micro devices. Color conversion layers may be integrated into the system substrate to create different outputs from the micro devices.
Description
Selective transferring and bonding of pre-fabricated micro-devices Introduction Selective transferring and bonding of pre-fabricated micro-devices from the donor substrate to a system substrate containing backend circuitry allows us to develop more efficient integration schemes for optical and electronic systems such as display and LED light panels.
In one embodiment, the donor substrate consists of an array of pre-fabricated micro-devices and the system substrate is a substrate with an array of contact pads.
Figure 1: An array of pre-fabricated micro-devices and the array of contact pads on the system substrate.
To transfer some of the micro-devices from donor substrate to the system substrate, first they are aligned and brought together. Using some mechanisms, contact pads apply a force of F' on all micro-devices attached to the donor substrate. This force may have different sources such as electrostatic, magnetic or adhesion (mechanical, chemical,..). Subsequently, using an operation such as laser lift-off (LL0), the sticking force that holds micro-devices to the donor substrate is manipulated. This manipulation is selective so that it may change the adhesion of individual or a group of micro devices. As Figure 3 shows the net force inserted on the micro-devices is the difference between F, (i=1,2,3..) and the F' (Fnet = F - F,). Micro-devices with positive Fnet will be detached and transferred to the system (system) substrate.

After transferring the selected micro-devices to the system substrate, an operation is performed to create a phase change in the contact pad bonding layer and the micro-device electrode to permanently bond the micro-device to the system substrate. While this operation is performed, force F' holds the micro-devices on the system contact pads. A variety of operations can be performed to control the phase of the bonding layer such as using a global heater.

Following scheme describes exemplary implementations of contact pads on the system substrate. As mentioned before, this invention describes a method of selective transferring and bonding an array of micro-devices to a system substrate. In one aspect, the system substrate can have any sizes and may contain the necessary circuitry to derive the micro-devices or process the output signal of micro-devices.
In another embodiment the substrates consist of connection pads and metallic tracks. In both cases, the pads equipped with a mechanism to electrostatically hold the micro-devices during the transfer from the system substrate to the system substrate. As an example, the micro-devices can be micro LED
devices and the substrate, the back-plane driver circuitry.
Selective transfer of semiconductor devices using electrostatic force In this invention, there is at least one conductive area in vicinity of the pads sharing the same micro-device which is covered by a dielectric. This area provides electro static forces required to hold the micro device in place on the system substrate. This area can have different shapes, different sections, and different heights.
In one aspect, the system substrate has an array of contact pads as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Array of pads on the system substrate. Contact pads are surrounded by a ring of metal/dielectric bi-layer.
In this case, each contact pad is surrounded by a ring of metal/dielectric bi-layer. The metallic layer of these rings can be addressed separately or connected together and controlled by one signal.
, Figure 7: Cross section of the contact pads.
In this scheme, micro-devices are aligned with the contact pads and they are brought in contact with them (Figure 3) L111111111=1.11 Figure 8: First micro-devices and the contact pads are aligned and brought together.
Different micro-devices can be selected for bonding by applying a voltage to the bonding pads (here the metallic ring). The electro-static force produced by the voltage across the dielectric can temporary holds the micro-devices in contact with the contact pads (Figure 4).
Figure 9: a voltage is applied to the bonding pads (here the metallic ring) to temporary holds the micro-device in contact with the contact pads.
Later on, using some operations such as laser lift-off or heating, the force holding the micro-devices to the carrier substrate is manipulated. This manipulation leads to a net force toward the system (system) substrate and transferring the selected micro-devices upon removing the carrier substrate.
Figure 10: Array of pads on the system substrate. Each contact pad consists of a metallic electrode and a metal/dielectric stack part.
In another embodiment shown in Figure 10, each contact pad consists of a metallic electrode and a metal/dielectric bilayer section.
In another embodiment shown in Figure 11, each contact pad in the array consist of a metallic electrode (in the form of a symmetric cross) and four square metal/dielectric stack at the edges of the contact pad.
ILI P -Figure 11: Array of pads on the system substrate. Each contact pad consists of a metallic electrode and four metal/dielectric stack sections at for edges of the contact pad.
In this embodiment, the four metal/dielectric bilayers in a single contact pad can be connected together or one or more of them can be addressed separately. Similarly to the embodiments in Figure 6 and Figure 10, metal/dielectric bilayers, here is called bonding pads, for a single contact pad can be addressed separately or connected to the bonding pads of other contact pads and be addressed collectively.
In general, a variety of different electrode and bonding pad can be designed and the scope of the invention is not limited to the above arrangements.
Selective transfer of semiconductor devices using mechanical force In another aspect of the invention shown in Figure 12, the electrode pads on the system substrate can be patterned to form a trench structure.
Figure 12: Trench pattern on the system electrode pads. Micro-devices on the carrier substrate are aligned and brought close to the electrode pads on the system substrate.
First, micro-device arrays are aligned with the pads on the system substrate.
Considering the larger size of the trenches, micro-devices can be accurately placed into them (see Figure 13). The material of the system substrate electrode is chosen to have a temperature expansion coefficient (CTE) lower than that of the micro-device electrode. Consequently, heating up this setup, result in a larger expansion of the micro-device electrodes compared to the trench structures. This will cause a temporary mechanical bonding between the micro-device arrays and the system substrate. Later on, using some methods like laser lift-off, the force holding micro-devices to the carrier substrate can selectively be decreased. This manipulation leads to a net force toward the system (system) substrate and transferring the selected micro-devices upon removing the carrier substrate (Figure 15).

Figure 12: Trench pattern on the system electrode pads. Micro-devices on the carrier substrate are aligned and brought close to the electrode pads on the system substrate.
First, micro-device arrays are aligned with the pads on the system substrate.
Considering the larger size of the trenches, micro-devices can be accurately placed into them (see Figure 13). The material of the system substrate electrode is chosen to have a temperature expansion coefficient (CTE) lower than that of the micro-device electrode. Consequently, heating up this setup, result in a larger expansion of the micro-device electrodes compared to the trench structures. This will cause a temporary mechanical bonding between the micro-device arrays and the system substrate. Later on, using some methods like laser lift-off, the force holding micro-devices to the carrier substrate can selectively be decreased. This manipulation leads to a net force toward the system (system) substrate and transferring the selected micro-devices upon removing the carrier substrate (Figure 15).
