Summary of the invention
The technical problem that the present invention will solve provides a kind of manufacturing approach of gallium nitride chip, and this method can solve the problem that the epitaxial film that in peeling off the Sapphire Substrate process, causes breaks.
For addressing the above problem, the present invention proposes a kind of manufacturing approach of the film GaN chip of peeling off based on sapphire, and it may further comprise the steps:
Epitaxial loayer on the etching Sapphire Substrate;
On the epitaxial loayer of etching, prepare reflector material, and carry out alloy;
With permanent support substrate bonding;
Opposite side at the permanent support substrate adopts the resin and second substrate to be cured;
The laser lift-off Sapphire Substrate;
Peel off the back and remove second substrate and resin, second substrate also can remove before laser lift-off.
As preferred version of the present invention, said etching adopts ICP or RIE dry etching, and the degree of depth of wherein said etching is at least 1 micron, is preferably the 5-7 micron.
As preferred version of the present invention, wherein said reflector material comprises Ti, Ni, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Cr, Ag, SiO

2, reflector material thickness is the 500-4000 dust.
As preferred version of the present invention, wherein go back matcoveredn in the reflector material outside, protective layer material is by Ti, Ni, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Cr, Ag, SiO
2, TiO
2, ITO, Al
2O
3, MgF
2One or more compositions wherein, preferred ITO, Ni,, Au,, Cr, Pt, protective layer material thickness is the 1000-10000 dust.
As preferred version of the present invention, wherein said and bonding permanent substrate comprise a kind of among Au-Au, Au-In, In-In, Ag-In, Ag-Sn, the In-Sn, preferred Au-Sn bonding.
As preferred version of the present invention, wherein glue is epoxide-resin glue or acrylic size, and its curing mode is that hot curing or UV solidify, and it solidifies back hardness is shore D 10-95, is preferably shore D 50-90.
As preferred version of the present invention, wherein the laser lift-off mode is for lining by line scan, and optical maser wavelength is 355nm.
As preferred version of the present invention, wherein the laser lift-off mode is that single die is peeled off, and optical maser wavelength is 248nm or 192nm.
As preferred version of the present invention; Wherein said second substrate is a temporary base; This temporary base, permanent support substrate are at least a can be in Si, pottery, W, Cu, Mo, GaAs, graphite, glass, sapphire, the organic material one or more, adopts wet etching, mechanical lapping or the method successively peeled off is removed temporary base.
As further preferred version of the present invention; Wherein said temporary base is Si; Adopt the method for wet etching to remove this temporary base, the corrosive liquid of wet etching can be one or more in sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, acetate, potassium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide solution, ammoniacal liquor, bromine water, oxalic acid, potassium permanganate, KI, iodine, the ammonium iodide.
This beneficial effect of the invention: carry out permanent support substrate bonding earlier owing to adopt; Then the substrate of permanent bonding combines with temporary base through suitable binding material again; Adhesives has certain rigidity and intensity; Make in laser lift-off subsequently, the minimizing of tearing phenomenon occurs, the qualification rate of GaN thin film chip is improved for the GaN layer.
Embodiment
Further specify through accompanying drawing and embodiment below.
At first use MOCVD equipment growing n-type GaN layer, active layer, p type GaN layer on Sapphire Substrate 100, form epitaxial loayer 110, like Fig. 1 a.Epitaxial loayer is carried out etching, and etching depth is 5.5 microns, epitaxial loayer is carved opened, like Fig. 1 b.Deposited by electron beam evaporation complex reflex layer material 120 evaporates Ni layer and Ag layer respectively, and thickness is respectively 20 dusts and 1000 dusts, 420 ℃ of alloys 10 minutes, and deposited by electron beam evaporation Pt layer and Au layer again, thickness is respectively 5000 dusts and 5000 dusts, like Fig. 1 c.Silicon substrate (permanent support substrate) 140 and complex reflex material are carried out Au-Sn bonding 130, and temperature is 360 ℃, like Fig. 1 d.The another side of silicon substrate is coated viscose glue 150, be cured with interim silicon substrate (i.e. second substrate) 160, like Fig. 1 e.Carry out laser lift-off, peel off Sapphire Substrate 100,, it should be noted that also and can before laser lift-off, remove second substrate earlier like Fig. 1 f.Peel off the back and corrode interim silicon substrate and glue-line, like Fig. 1 g with nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide solution and hydrofluoric acid.Carry out alligatoring with common process for epitaxial surface, electron beam evaporation also prepares the aluminium electrode, obtains chip, like Fig. 1 h.
