There is the Making programme of the high voltage LED chip of light-guiding pillar:
1, photoetching process is passed through, utilize inductive couple plasma (ICP) to etch about 11000-15000 degree of depth (depending on different epitaxial wafer growth structure, etching depth is different), go out N-type GaN3 table top in the surface etch of every LEDs crystal grain, the N-type GaN3 of every LEDs crystal grain is exposed, as Fig. 1;
2, at the SiO of the surface deposition thickness 5000-10000 of epitaxial wafer 2protective layer, and on SiO2 layer, adopt the higher thick glue of resolution to make the photoresist protective layer of 4 μm-7 μm, to prepare the isolation channel of high voltage LED chip, prepare light guide column structure in the side of every little crystal grain simultaneously.
Concrete preparation method is as follows.First prepare isolation channel pattern and light-guiding pillar 7 pattern by photoetching process at photoresist protective layer, light-guiding pillar pattern is the cross section being distributed in each little crystal edge is leg-of-mutton periodic structure.Recycling BOE solution (HF, NH 4f mixed solution) etch SiO 2protective layer, makes the GaN between little crystal grain expose, thus by isolation channel pattern and light-guiding pillar design transfer to SiO 2layer; After requiring etching, in groove, etching is clean, without SiO 2residual, and light-guiding pillar shape is more complete.Then inductive couple plasma (ICP) is utilized to etch, by isolation channel pattern and light-guiding pillar design transfer to GaN layer.Wherein, in ICP etching process (etched surface comprises epitaxial loayer side and side of substrate), by regulating etching gas BCl 3and Cl 2ratio, proportion is at 1:1 ~ 1:20, and to form the trapezoid flank angle of every little crystal grain, thus preparation has the light-guiding pillar of laterally inclined angle.In order to form many mutual disjunct LED grain, isolation channel needs to etch into sapphire layer 1, and the thickness depending on GaN epitaxial layer determines that etching depth is about 4um-7um, as Fig. 2.After isolation channel etching, the vertical view of single die unit is as Fig. 3, and the cross section of crystal edge is that leg-of-mutton periodic structure is light-guiding pillar 7.
