Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of semiconductors, particularly a kind of manufacture method with the light-emitting diode in cubic circulus reflector.
Background technology
Semiconductor light-emitting-diode application is increasingly extensive, in illumination, particularly there is the trend replacing incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp, but also face some technical problems at present, particularly light extraction efficiency is lower, usually, affect the reason that light extraction efficiency mainly contains three aspects: a kind of is because material is to the absorption of light, another kind is light producing total reflection through during different medium.
The raising of light-emitting diode luminous efficiency is pursuing a goal of technology always, and improve the quality of epitaxial material, by transparent substrates bonding, thick current expansion window, these all play good effect to the raising of efficiency.But when light leaves diode inside, in any case it all cannot avoid loss occurs, causing the main cause of loss, is that the semi-conducting material owing to forming LED surface layer has high index of refraction.High optical refractive index can cause light to produce total reflection at this semiconductor material surface, thus the light that LED internal is sent cannot be launched fully.At present, improve the total reflection of light in diode inside by surface texture technology in the industry, thus raising luminous efficiency, but, because prior art usually only carries out roughening treatment to the surface that diode portion is grouped into structure, which results in its roughened surface skewness, therefore cannot effective improving luminous efficiency.

In the light emitting diode construction shown in Fig. 1, because roughened layer is only formed at the inside of light-emitting diode, on the surface of i.e. GaN resilient coating 102, therefore, although the light produced by multiple quantum well light emitting layer 104 is through the reflection of roughened layer 122, can improve the luminous efficiency of side in certain degree, but this roughened layer be in LED internal is also not enough to improve luminous efficiency further.
And, the light-emitting diode of structure shown in Figure 1, what visible multiple quantum well light emitting layer 104 sent wide is manyly appeared by the front of light-emitting diode, namely appeared by the upper surface of transparent electrode layer 107, only have a small amount of light to be appeared by the side of light-emitting diode after the total reflection of transparent electrode layer 107.Therefore, the uniformity of luminance of the light-emitting diode of structure shown in Fig. 1 need to improve.
