Description

A kind of gallium nitride based LED epitaxial slice structure and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of light-emitting diode, especially relate to gallium nitride based LED epitaxial slice structure of growth technology-horizontal extension outgrowth technology (ELOG) of using gallium nitride (GaN) base and compound film thereof in a kind of third generation semiconductor photoelectronic device field and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
The GaN based light-emitting diode has that volume is little, the life-span is long, can realize the large tracts of land array; LED uses the DC power supply that is lower than 5V to drive, and radiation area mainly concentrates on visible region.Have low pressure, power saving, cold light source, the response time is short, luminous efficiency is high, explosion-proof and energy-conservation advantage such as reliable, its market potential is huge.It is except being applied in stop-light, outside the large tracts of land display screen, also reaches its maturity in the application of energy-conservation normal lighting light source.LED does not contain harmful lead and mercury, has avoided the pollution to environment simultaneously, for the recovery problem of discarded object, lacks than existing sight lamp yet, and it is safe and environmentally friendly to say so, and the title of " green illumination light source " is arranged.Many experts think that LED is the first generation incandescent light source that continues, second generation fluorescent light, after the third generation high-intensity gas discharge lamp light source the 4th generation lighting source.Produce the numerous and confused and old brand bulbmaker of the semiconductor company of blue light diode in the world and form an alliance, seize the illumination market that this can be described as following maximum.
III family-nitride semi-conductor material is because its good photoelectric characteristic, at the preparation ultraviolet detector, light-emitting diode, laser diode and high temperature, photoelectric device field extensive application such as high frequency have also obtained breakthrough progress ([1] Shuji Nakamura.Recent Developments in InGaN-Based Blue LEDs and LDs.Department ofResearch and Development in recent years, Nichia Chemical Industries, Ltd; [2] Takashi MUKAI, MotokazuYAMADA and Shuji NAKAMURA.Characteristics of InGaN-Based UV/Blue/Green/Amber/RedLight-Emitting Diodes.Jpn.J.Appl.Phys, 1999; 38:3976).Its ternary compound InGaN, by regulating the component of In in the alloy, energy gap can vary continuously to 3.4eV (GaN) from 0.6eV (InN) in theory, emission wavelength has covered whole visible light wave range and part ultraviolet light wave band, be widely used in active layer ([3] Chin-Hsiang CHEN of opto-electronic device LED and LD, Shoou-Jinn CHANG and Yan-Kuin SU.High-Indium-Content InGaN/GaNMultiple-Quantum-Well Light-Emitting Diodes.Jpn.J.Appl.Phys, 2003; 42:2281; [4] Horng-Shyang Chen, Dong-Ming Yeh, Chih-Feng Lu, etal.White light generation with CdSe-ZnSnanocrystals coated on an InGaN-GaN quantum-well blue/Green two-wavelength light-emittingdiode.IEEE PHOTONICS TECHNOLOGY LETTERS, 2006; 18:NO.13.)。
Nineteen ninety-five, people such as Nakamura have developed InGaN single quantum LED, and then the multi-quantum pit structure external quantum efficiency that can make LED up to 20% ([5] Mukai T.Recent progress in grou mixes magnesium III nitride Light-emittingdiodes[J] .IEEE J.Select.Topics Quantum electron, 2002,8 (2): 264-270), because quantum well plays good restriction to charge carrier, and the InGaN ternary-alloy material has its intrinsic characteristic: in the growth course of InGaN, there is fluctuation in the spatial distribution of In, thereby in quantum well, form the rich In district of the nano-scale of similar quantum-dot structure, charge carrier is played three-dimensional restriction, make charge carrier more difficult moving to before radiation recombination takes place because the non-radiative recombination center that defective etc. cause, thereby improve radiation recombination luminous efficiency ([6] S.Nakamura greatly, M.Senoh and T.Mukai. mixes magnesium GaN/N-InGaN/N-GaN Double-Heterostructure Blue-Light-Emitting Diodes Jpn.Jpn.J.Appl.Phys., 1993; 32:L8; [7] S.Nakamura, T.Mukai, M.Senoh, etal.In xGa (1-x)N/In yGa (1-y)N superlattices grownon GaN films J.Appl.Phys., 1993; 74:3911).So GaN base LED main flow structure adopts InGaN/GaN, InGaN/AlGaN single quantum well or multi-quantum pit structure exactly at present.Existing traditional GaN base LED (referring to Fig. 1) is a low temperature GaN resilient coating of using the non-doping of metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method growth one deck on Sapphire Substrate 1, what the L temperature grew at high temperature that one deck mixes Si then mixes silicon GaN layer 2, then mixing growing InGaN on the silicon GaN layer/GaN multiple quantum well active layer 3, growing on active layer at last, one deck is mixed magnesium AlGaN layer and one deck is mixed magnesium GaN layer 4.Form the LED device epitaxial slice on plane.
Generally speaking, the luminosity of LED strengthens along with the increase of injection current, but the pn surplus is a maximum operating temperature, big electric current injection can produce a large amount of heat and damage crystal and sealed in unit, thereby cause shorten device lifetime, be only crucial technology so improve the energy conversion efficiency of injection current.We weigh the efficient that electric energy is converted to luminous energy at external quantum efficiency commonly used, and its size equals the amassing of escapement ratio of internal quantum efficiency and photon.Raising along with epitaxy technology, the crystal mass of GaN base semiconductor material is greatly improved, so in general, the internal quantum efficiency of high performance LED is all very high, just because lattice defect, substrate causes the photon escapement ratio very low to the absorption of light and the total reflection problem of traditional LED rectangular cavity structure, and actual external quantum efficiency is not high.Since the refractive index ratio air of GaN refractive index big, so as θ<θ cWhen (angle of total reflection of light when the GaN layer shines air), light can be overflowed from the front, works as θ〉90 °-θ cThe time, less than the angle of total reflection, overflow from the side by light in the side incidence angle for light, and work as θ c<θ<90 °-θ cThe time, light, can not be overflowed all less than the angle of total reflection in positive and side.As calculated, for the LED of rectangular cavity structure, has only 40% luminous energy overflow from the surface (referring to Fig. 2).
Round the escapement ratio that improves photon, a lot of researchs have been done both at home and abroad.Nineteen ninety-five, people such as Yoshida defective from reduce crystal set about proposing the LEO growing technology has reduced the dislocation density (4-5 orders of magnitude) of GaN epitaxial loayer effectively in addition at pterion GaN near dislocation-free ([8] Usui A, Sunakawa H, Sakai A etal.Jpn.J.Appl.Phys, Part2,1997,36 (7B): thus the luminous efficiency of LED L899) improved greatly.A kind of method at the U.S.'s business-like raising photon escapement ratio adopts transparent substrates exactly, reduce the absorption of substrate, after LED has grown, opaque substrate etching is fallen photon, again transparent substrate and epitaxial wafer are bonded together, make the photon can be from each face outgoing.A kind of LED that adopts inverted structure, earlier substrate etching is got very thin, fine and improve light extraction efficiency in the reflectivity of utilizing electrode.Lumileds company adopts transparent substrates, and the cross section is trapezoidal, and stereochemical structure is the chip structure of inverted pyramid shape, destroys the traditional die cube shaped, solves the total reflection problem and improves light extraction efficiency.The eighties in last century, people such as Burnham proposed growth distribution Bragg reflecting layer structure ([9] QiYun, Dai Ying, Li Anyi.Enhancement of the external quantum efficiency of light-emitting-diodes[J] .Electronic Components and Materials, 2003,22 (4): 43-45 (in Chinese)), reduce substrate to the absorption of light and improve the escapement ratio of photon greatly.Also there is research to adopt and on the epitaxial wafer of having grown, carries out surface coarsening, the laser lift-off substrate is transparent substrates and substrate changed into the metal that heat conduction is good and reflectivity is good on the bonding again, adopt photonic crystal or the like, all these researchs all are in order to improve the external quantum efficiency of LED device.

3, LED device architecture material is grown directly upon on the GaN of the low dislocation in pterion, helps obtaining high-quality active layer material, thereby can improve its luminous efficiency greatly.
4, well-known, as long as light extraction efficiency is improved and just can correspondingly reduces the problem that the led chip internal heat effect brings, i.e. the characteristic sublinear problem of P-I.Under the condition of injecting identical electric current, its thermal effect of LED that light extraction efficiency is high is lower, and the pn knot just is not easy to reach its maximum operating temperature, therefore can prolong its working life, makes that also the various aspects of performance of LED device is well improved.
