Description

A kind of laterally inclined light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit of distinctive appearance structure, relate to a kind of laterally inclined light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit and preparation method thereof specifically.
Background technology
To be that a kind of energy is high efficiency be converted into the luminescent device of luminous energy with electric energy to light-emitting diode, is the most promising at present light source of new generation.The light-emitting diode general using is luminous by the intrinsic transition of direct gap semiconductor, has very high photoelectric conversion efficiency, promptly very high interior quantum effect.But these semi-conductive refractive indexes are generally 2~3.5.Relatively and the refractive index of air be approximately 1, light has only the very little optical range that goes out the directive air time from these semiconductors, the bright dipping of other angle is all returned by total reflection, sees accompanying drawing one.Light is propagated some energy of meeting loss in semiconductor, energy finally is converted to heat.The contour structures of tradition light-emitting diode is that upper surface is parallel with light emitting functional layer with the bottom surface, and the side is vertical with light emitting functional layer, sees accompanying drawing two.Under such contour structures, light can not be refracted to the external world through repeatedly total reflection in device, run out of energy at last.The light extraction efficiency of light-emitting diode is very low like this.Light extraction efficiency is low, then there is the light that can not penetrate in a large number, its energy is at the device internal loss, the Conversion of energy of loss is a heat, the accumulation in light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit of a large amount of heats can make the temperature of chip raise, quantum effect in reducing produces thermal stress in chip, problem that speed-up chip and encapsulating structure are aging or the like.Utilizing inclined side to improve in the technology of light extraction efficiency, the chip of the inverted pyramid shape that the foremost CREE of being company adopts in red yellow light LED, laterally inclined by whole epitaxial loayer and substrate promoted light extraction efficiency.But this scheme needing will realize utmost point strict process condition, and production cost is high.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention is exactly low at existing light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit light extraction efficiency, and improve the other problems that causes thus, a kind of laterally inclined light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit and preparation method thereof is provided, the light-emitting diode of the face that tilts with light emitting functional layer is made in the side (promptly not parallel with light emitting functional layer face) of light-emitting diode, can improve the light extraction efficiency of light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit.The present invention can reach the purpose that improves light extraction efficiency with cheap relatively cost, and technology of the present invention is also to improving die stress simultaneously, and it is beneficial to improve attenuate, scribing, sliver effect.
Technical scheme of the present invention is: a kind of laterally inclined light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit comprises substrate and is laminated in epitaxial loayer on the substrate that this epitaxial loayer comprises resilient coating, N type layer, multiple quantum well layer and P type layer successively; Be coated with transparency conducting layer on the P type layer, P type layer is provided with the P electrode, and N type layer is provided with the N electrode; The superficial growth of chip surface except that P, N electrode has passivation layer; It is characterized in that: the side of its epitaxial loayer is the inclined plane.
Aforesaid laterally inclined light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit is characterized in that: the laterally inclined angle of epitaxial loayer is greater than 0 °, and is less than or equal to 70 °.
Aforesaid laterally inclined light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit is characterized in that: the component of epitaxial loayer is gallium nitride, zinc oxide or carborundum.
Aforesaid laterally inclined light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit is characterized in that: the size outward appearance of chip is arbitrarily, is rectangle, square, circle or irregular polygon to its top plan view structure.
A kind of preparation method of laterally inclined light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit, at first at the substrate growing epitaxial layers, wherein epitaxial loayer comprises resilient coating, N type layer, multiple quantum well layer and P type layer; Etch N type layer region, plate transparency conducting layer, and, on entire chip, prepare passivation layer at N, P zone difference evaporation metal N, P electrode in the p type island region territory; It is characterized in that: by the protection of passivation layer, extension is carried out etching, control forms the etching side of inclination to the both sides speed of etching; Chip is carried out attenuate, scribing, sliver, test and sorting.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: the laterally inclined light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit of the present invention is compared with the light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit of traditional vertical epitaxial side, but the side that the present invention tilts allows the rising angle expanded range of each exiting surface, the space lighting area enlarges, thereby has improved light extraction efficiency.
The present invention proposes a kind of manufacture craft of light-emitting diode, under the condition of traditional handicraft, increased etching extension.By control, produce the side at certain angle of inclination and come the extension etching.Do not have big rising in process complexity, the technology cost does not have very significantly to have improved light extraction efficiency under the condition of big rising yet.Simultaneously, among the present invention the processing of epitaxial loayer is helped to reduce stress in the chip, reduce the flexural deformation of chip in the course of processing, help improving attenuate, scribing, sliver effect.
The present invention has increased the etching of extension on the basis of traditional handicraft, by the angle of inclination of control etched surface, reach the purpose that improves bright dipping.The angle of inclination of the side that is etched out determines this method to improve the actual effect of bright dipping, and the lifting of light emission rate reaches maximum under certain appropriate angle.The size of this angle is with the size of chip, adopts refractive index, the factors such as the proportion of goods damageds of light in these materials of material relevant.Under the certain situation of conditions such as chip size, refractive index, optical loss rate, some angles of inclination can produce maximum amplification to light extraction efficiency down.
