Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the deficiency of prior art; Create out a kind of simple and effective manufacturing approach of improving the Ohm contact electrode of optical property, when it can realize forming the good ohmic contact, improve external quantum efficiency; Increase light-emitting area, improve the performance and the reliability of device.
Technical scheme of the present invention is:
A kind of manufacturing approach of improving the Ohm contact electrode of optical property at the gold-beryllium alloy of epitaxial wafer surface evaporation thin layer, forms point-like (dots) ohmic contact layer through photoetching, etch process in epi-layer surface.
The alloying temperature is between 450 ℃~500 ℃, and alloying time is 5~12 minutes.
Preferably, point-like (dots) ohmic contact layer (AuBe alloy) is of a size of 10 microns-20 microns.
Further, at epitaxial wafer surface deposition ITO and SiO2 thin layer.
Point-like (dots) ohmic contact layer is at first evaporated on the epitaxial wafer surface; Through photoetching, etch process figure is handled, Alloying Treatment is carried out in contact, and alloy temperature is: 450 ℃~500 ℃; Alloying time is: 5~12 minutes, evaporate, deposit ITO, SiO then
2Layer.
Preferably, be that
thin layer, SiO2 are
thin layer at epitaxial wafer surface deposition ITO.
For achieving the above object, the present invention takes following measure:
Earlier epitaxial wafer is cleaned up; Remove impurity such as surperficial particle, oxide, metal ion, subsequently at least two kinds of metallic elements of epitaxial wafer surface evaporation, through the processing of photoetching, etch process; Form point-like (dots) Ohm contact electrode; Then carry out Alloying Treatment, make wherein a kind of metallic element oxidation form P type oxide semiconductor, all the other metals then keep metallic state.
A kind of manufacturing approach of improving the Ohm contact electrode of optical property of the present invention, can adopt following implementation method to realize:
At first with epitaxial wafer normal temperature mixed liquor (ammonium hydroxide: hydrogen peroxide solution: soaked 3-4 minute water); The mixed liquor ratio can be ammonium hydroxide: hydrogen peroxide solution: water=2: 1: 5; Rinse well with deionized water then, soaked 30 seconds at 55 ℃ mixed liquor (sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide solution, water) subsequently, the mixed liquor ratio can be sulfuric acid: hydrogen peroxide solution: water=5: 1: 1; Rinse well with deionized water then, and it is positioned in the drier dries.The golden beryllium alloy layer that then in the electron beam evaporation platform, evaporates
; Produce point-like (dots) ohmic contact layer electrode through technologies such as photoetching, etchings then, then in alloying furnace, carry out the alloy operation.Alloy temperature: 450 ℃~500 ℃, this temperature section could be realized ohmic contact, is convenient to the enforcement of subsequent technique, and the alloy time: 5~12 minutes, this time period just can reach ohmic contact, was convenient to the enforcement of subsequent technique.If the time is long partially, will cause red shift of wavelength.Next be coated with continuation evaporation ITO layer and SiO on the epitaxial wafer of alloy-layer
2Layer forms ohmic contact (ohmic contact) electrode that improves optical property through photoetching, etch process, just can carry out next step process operation.ITO layer and SiO
2The thickness screening of layer cooperates, and is in order to guarantee higher light emission rate.
Provide through vapor deposition with golden beryllium (AuBe) alloy deposition on conductor device, be made into the ohmic contact layer of point-like (dots) through technologies such as photoetching, etchings,
The present invention compared with prior art has the following advantages:
1, light-emitting area is big.Gold beryllium ohmic contact layer electrode size is little, and is little to blocking of light-emitting area.A large amount of light beams can shine the epitaxial wafer surface from the luminous zone.
2, the luminous zone is even.ITO coating can play good current expansion effect, and the light from the active area emission is had good current expansion effect and high light transmission rate.
3, external quantum efficiency is high.SiO2 than ITO (NITO=2.08, refractive index NSiO2=1.45) is low, a large amount of light beams can be refracted to epi-layer surface well through SiO2, the drawback that the light extraction efficiency of avoiding total reflection phenomenon to bring is low.When ITO in the technical scheme of the present invention
evaporates for this reason thickness; The highest 99-100%SiO2 of its transmitance
: the thickness of deposition SiO2 is for this reason during thickness; Its refractive index is best, makes more light send from chip (chip) surface exactly.
4, production technology is simple and convenient.The same with the ordinary student production. art, just can realize through technologies such as evaporation, photoetching, etching, alloy treatment.
5, equipment is not had extra demand, and operation of equipment is simple and convenient.
