The 7th embodiment
Present embodiment provides a kind of manufacturing method for LED, below though to lift " precipitation method " be example, incorporate applicant's Chinese patent application numbers 200510008606.0 and Application No. 11/059554 into as reference of the present invention at this, but manufacture method of the present invention is not as limit.
See also Figure 1A, the manufacturing process of present embodiment comprises the following steps, but its sequence of steps can need be adjusted and not as limit according to processing procedure.
At first, provide a substrate 102, wherein have at least one wafer 104 on the substrate 102, for example make a LED wafer array and cover on the substrate in a bronze medal.Secondly, provide a loop configuration 110, place on this substrate 102 and around wafer 104, for example use viscose glue with the plastic cement loop configuration 110 that fixedly has the chromium plating reflective surface on substrate 102.
Many phosphor particles are mixed with a liquid that does not contain sticker form mixed liquor, and substrate 102 is in the above-mentioned mixed liquor so that phosphor particles falls on the substrate 102.And in the preferred embodiment, can select to insert earlier aforesaid substrate 102 in a container, many phosphor particles are mixed with a liquid that does not contain sticker form mixed liquor and import in this container, and then allow phosphor particles natural subsidence in the above-mentioned mixed liquor on substrate 102.
Then, remove liquid and take out substrate 102, wherein those phosphor particles are to lump into a fluorescent material granulosa 106 and be attached at least on the wafer 104 in the above-mentioned loop configuration 110, and form a protective layer 108 to cover this fluorescent material granulosa 106 at least.
And according to the employed loop configuration 110 of embodiments of the invention, be the efficient that can improve the general precipitation method.That is to say, after falling to substrate 102, phosphor particles can be separated into inside and outside two districts by loop configuration 110, and after tentatively removing mixed liquor, the mixed liquor that has only part is stayed the inner region of loop configuration 110, because the mixed liquor of this part is far fewer than original a large amount of mixed liquor, therefore, see through drying mode and can remove remaining liq faster and form fluorescent material granulosa 106 and be attached on the wafer in the loop configuration 110, can promote processing procedure efficient thus.
Below be elaborated at a preferred embodiment of above-mentioned processing procedure.At first the proportion of phosphor particles is to select greater than this liquid and preferable insoluble or be insoluble in this liquid, and phosphor particles must have stability and chemically reactive not in this liquid; Then utilize instruments such as stirrer (stir bar) or ultrasonic waves oscillator or instrument that phosphor particles is evenly mixed with liquid, to form a dispersion liquid.Phosphor particles can be made up of fluorescent material, and this fluorescent material can be sulphide fluorescent material or unsulfided fluorescent material; Wherein the sulphide fluorescent material surface still can coat layer protective layer, as the organic polymer protective layer, to intercept external environment such as aqueous vapor and oxygen etc. to the influence of sulphide fluorescent material, makes sulphide fluorescent material keep stable state; But not sulphide fluorescent material can be yttrium-aluminium-garnet (yttrium aluminumgarnet, abbreviation YAG) fluorescent material, terbium aluminium garnet (terbium aluminumgarnet, be called for short TAG) the common fluorescent material that is used for light-emitting diode such as fluorescent material, or any other available luminescent powder.
Secondly the substrate 102 that a top is had a loop configuration 110 places above-mentioned dispersion liquid to leave standstill a period of time, and the liquid level of this dispersion liquid must be higher than substrate surface, and at least than more than the high 10 μ m of substrate surface.Then utilize the gravity factor of nature that the phosphor particles in the mixed liquor directly is deposited on the substrate again,, otherwise can't carry out the deposit behavior so the proportion of phosphor particles must be greater than this liquid; The particle diameter of phosphor particles is generally 0.1~100 μ m, because this manufacture method is to utilize gravity to make phosphor particles directly be deposited on the substrate, so if the particle diameter of phosphor particles is too small, deposition time can be long, production capacity is reduced, in addition, if the particle diameter of phosphor particles is too big, may cause the too poor result of the last formed fluorescent material granulosa uniformity; In addition, for the thickness that makes deposition time and last formed fluorescent material granulosa in certain standard, the concentration that this luminescent powder accounts for liquid is about 0.001~1g/ml, be preferably 0.01~0.15g/ml, if excessive concentration, can make luminescent powder generation waste or make last formed fluorescent material granulosa blocked up,, then can make the long and last formed fluorescent material granulosa of deposition time thin excessively if concentration is low excessively.In this deposition process, loop configuration can be divided into the phosphor particles of sedimentation inside and outside two districts.Wherein, before this deposit processing procedure, the substrate surface in the loop configuration has been formed with crystal array, for example is light emitting diode matrix.
At last the liquid in the said system is tentatively removed, as utilize and mode such as extract and banish liquid removal, only stay on the substrate of partially mixed liquid in loop configuration, continue utilize the flash baking mode to form the fluorescent material granulosa and be attached on the wafer or loop configuration in substrate on.Above-mentioned mode with liquid removal is as the criterion can the fluorescent material granulosa not produced perturbation action, otherwise can't form desirable fluorescent material granulosa, and wherein the temperature of this baking step is set, be to select greater than making the temperature that evaporates, produce rotten temperature less than destruction that makes substrate such as crystal or luminescent powder, for example be about 40~300 degree Celsius, wherein if bake out temperature is too low, then can make drying time long or can't dry, this can cause production capacity to descend; If bake out temperature is too high, it is rotten that substrate or luminescent powder are produced, and produces the bad fluorescent material granulosa of quality and yield is descended, and also can make the dispersion liquid of luminescent powder can't be obtained desirable fluorescent material granulosa by stirring because of the boiling phenomenon of fierceness.This baking step is will be with the liquid removal in the luminescent powder, and when liquid removal, the space between luminescent powder will be reduced, and makes each other driving fit more by the Van der Waals force between luminescent powder, and forms closely incrust luminescent powder layer.In addition, this baking step can comprise first baking step and second baking step, in first baking step, use lower temperature that liquid is slowly volatilized, the preferable boiling point of this temperature less than employed liquid, make the surface of fluorescent material granulosa produce hole with the quick volatilization of avoiding liquid, after treating a period of time, carry out the baking step of higher temperatures again, so that the liquid in the luminous powdery film volatilizees fully, this bake out temperature is preferable in addition selects less than 300 degree Celsius, and wherein the setting of this temperature is rotten in order to avoid substrate or luminescent powder to produce, and is not to be defined as 300 degree.
In addition, still can on fluorescent material granulosa 106, form a protective layer 108 again, so that this fluorescent material granulosa is formed better protection; This protective layer 108 can be high-molecular organic material, and mode such as can be coated with is formed on the fluorescent material granulosa, also may extend to the loop configuration inboard to increase adhesive force.
In above-mentioned manufacture method, employed liquid is preferably insoluble with luminescent powder, indissoluble, stable and do not chemically react.Wherein this liquid can be water, alcohols, ketone or ethers, as alcohols can be ethanol, ketone is that acetone, ethers can be ether.
Though the present invention by the preferred embodiment explanation as above, this preferred embodiment is not in order to limit the present invention.Those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, should have the ability this preferred embodiment is made various changes and replenished, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion with the scope of claims.
