Description

The gallium nitride film that Sapphire Substrate can be peeled off certainly prepares with epitaxial structure and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of gallium nitride film, relate in particular to gallium nitride film preparation that a kind of Sapphire Substrate can peel off certainly with epitaxial structure and method.
Background technology
LED as a kind of solid state light emitter have that volume is little, the life-span is long, brightness is high, energy consumption is low, do not produce secondary pollution, the many merits such as easy of integration, as a kind of green illumination light source, it progresses into general illumination from high-end lighting field.The white light LEDs preparation method of existing market mainly makes the epitaxial wafer with gallium nitride base light emitting structure by the organic metal vapour deposition process at Sapphire Substrate, silicon carbide substrates or silicon substrate, then epitaxial wafer is further made the LED of transversary or vertical stratification by techniques such as photoetching, electrode evaporations.The LED of so-called transversary, its positive and negative metal electrode all is in the same side of led chip.The LED of so-called vertical stratification, upside and the downside of its positive and negative metal electrode office chip.The LED of vertical stratification is more even because of electric current distribution, is easier to derive give birth to heat in the luminescent layer, reduces junction temperature, therefore the LED of vertical stratification has higher light efficiency.
Silicon carbide substrates and silicon substrate can be made into the higher vertical structure LED of light efficiency because its heat-conductivity conducting is good, corrodible.But this two kinds of substrates or because of with high costs, or can't promote greatly because of technical difficulty.
The growth technology of Sapphire Substrate is the most ripe in three kinds of substrates, with low cost, but Sapphire Substrate is corrosion-resistant because of it, hardness is high, the characteristic of printing opacity, thermal insulation, electric insulation, the main transversary of using manufactures and designs undersized LED on the market, and Sapphire Substrate ground attenuate, improve light efficiency.But large scale, high-power LED because of the inevitable current spread problem of transversary self and Sapphire Substrate heat dissipation problem, have restricted the further lifting of light efficiency and brightness.
In order further to improve light efficiency and the brightness of LED, must peel off Sapphire Substrate, realize the LED of vertical stratification.
The method of peeling off at present Sapphire Substrate mainly contains three kinds: the corrosion of laser lift-off, selective chemical is peeled off and is had certainly peeling off of weak mechanical strength layer.The laser lift-off technique peeling rate is fast, but equipment cost is high, to peel off yield low, only has the large-scale producer of minority to use.The selective chemical corrosion utilizes the different or different GaN of the energy gap of InGaN and GaN to mix, and selects by lighting activation or electric current, InGaN and the heavily doped GaN selective chemical of N-shaped are corroded ( (1)A.R.Stonas, T.Margalith, S.P.DenBaars, L.A.Coldren, E.L.Hu, Development of selective lateral photoelectrochemical etching of InGaN/GaN for lift-off applications, Appl.Phys.Lett.78,1945 (2001).(corrosion of selective light electrochemistry side)) ( (2)J.Park, K.M.Song, S.R.Jeon, J.H.Baek, and S.W.Ryu, Doping selective lateral electrochemical etching of GaN for chemical lift-off, Appl.Phys.Lett.94,221907 (2009).(corrosion of selective electrochemical side)).Selective chemical corrosion corrosion has advantages of the not damaged luminescent layer, but because of the restriction of corrosion rate, general chip size is no more than 1mm.Require at the bottom of peeling liner Sapphire Substrate and gallium nitride contact-making surface with weak mechanical strength layer have lower mechanical strength, to realize separating of epitaxial loayer and substrate.The making of weak mechanical strength layer mainly realizes by two kinds of methods: extension self-generating and selective chemical corrosion.Extension self-generating method is by depositing first one deck gallium nitride film on substrate, again by PhotoelectrochemicalMethod Method to thin film corrosive, form and have many mushy weak mechanical strength layers, then continue GaN epitaxial growth ( (3)Y.Zhang, B.Leung, J.Han, A liftoff process of GaN layers and devices through nanoporous transformation, Appl.Phys.Lett.100,181908 (2012).(nanoaperture mechanical stripping)).This kind method is large because of pore-size control difficulty, and gallium nitride dislocation rate is high, therefore affect the LED light efficiency, causes cost to rise, and overall yield descends.The method of selective chemical corrosion deposits first one deck and has strip or cancellated corrodible sacrifice layer before epitaxial growth, after finishing epitaxial growth, epitaxial loayer is cut apart corrosion, and then carry out mechanical stripping ( (4)M.S.Lin, C.F.Lin, W.C.Huang, G.M.Wang, B.C.Shieh, J.J.Dai, S.Y.Chang, D.S.Wuu, P.L.Liu, R.H.Horng, Chemical – Mechanical Lift-Off Process for InGaN Epitaxial Layers, Appl.Phys.Express4,062101 (2011).(generating again mechanical stripping of nano-pillar after the corrosion of selective chemical side), R.H.Horng, C.T.Pan, T.Y.Tsai, D.S.Wuu, Transferring Thin Film GaN LED Epi-Structure to the Cu Substrate by Chemical Lift-Off Technology, Electrochem.Solid-State Lett.14 (7) H281-H284 (2011).)。This method has continued the shortcoming of side direction chemical corrosion, and production efficiency is low, and the LED size is little, can't carry out large-scale application.

Embodiment
The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.
The present embodiment adopts the general epitaxial structure (Fig. 1) of gallium nitride based LED, and it comprises from top to bottom:
(1) epitaxial loayer 130
Epitaxial loayer 130 is the luminous core texture of LED, and it comprises from top to bottom at least: p-type GaN134, multiple InGaN/GaN quantum well 133, N-shaped GaN132 and resilient coating 131.The resilient coating 131 here also can N-shaped GaN.Be unadulterated GaN such as resilient coating, then after Sapphire Substrate is peeled off, resilient coating carried out dry etching and remove.Such as need the thickness of epitaxial loayer is controlled, can be at the AlGaN of N-shaped GaN and buffering interlayer insertion one deck N-shaped, as the etched barrier layer of Optical Electro-Chemistry.
Epitaxial loayer 130 thickness are not less than 6um, and wherein resilient coating 131 must be enough to cover weak mechanical strength layer 120.
The growth of epitaxial layer of gallium nitride can be adopted general two-step growth method, forms GaN nuclear on Sapphire Substrate 110 surfaces, and by the high annealing crystallization, then carries out the growth of resilient coating 131.
Weak mechanical strength layer 120, its surface does not infiltrate the GaN of N-shaped, impels resilient coating 131 cross growths, has stoped extending upward of crystal defect, has improved the quality of GaN crystal.Nonwettable surface is less to the adhesion of epitaxial layer of gallium nitride in addition, is beneficial to peeling off of substrate.
(2) weak mechanical strength layer 120
Weak mechanical strength layer 120 must at high temperature keep stable, and provides the gallium nitride transversal epitaxial growth required mask.
Weak mechanical strength layer 120 lower floor are metal level 121, can be gold, aluminium, silver, molybdenum etc., this example choosing gold.Gold surface covers one deck SiO2 or SiN passivation layer 122, and the while is as the mask of GaN epitaxial growth.
Weak mechanical strength layer 120 has the dot structure that is the point-like matrix arrangement, and dot structure partly protrudes from Sapphire Substrate 110 surfaces, and all the other go deep into Sapphire Substrate 110, thereby improves the adhesive force to Sapphire Substrate 110.Epitaxial layer of gallium nitride 130 should be the least possible with contacting of Sapphire Substrate 110 surfaces, few can peel off easily to the adhesion of epitaxial loayer 130 and Sapphire Substrate 110, but it is good enough resisting the adaptive strain of lattice, therefore the weak preferred six terrace with edge shapes of mechanical strength layer 120 point-like profile of this example.
Six terrace with edge height are not more than 3um, and this example is preferably 1.5um, and the length of side is not more than 4um, and this example is preferably 2um.Minimum spacing is not more than 2um between six terrace with edges, and this example is preferably 0.5um.
Metal level 121 high temperature during not because of GaN epitaxial growth under the protection of passivation layer 122 changes, and keeps metallic state.
The operation principle of weak mechanical strength layer as shown in Figure 2: metal level 121 expands because of high temperature when epitaxial layer of gallium nitride 130 growth, and because passivation layer 122 does not infiltrate gallium nitride itself, therefore along with the cooling of metal level 121 is shunk, passivation layer 122 is pullled with epitaxial loayer 130 disengagings by metal level 121 and is formed hole 221 after epitaxial loayer 130 growths are finished.
The hole greatly reduces epitaxial loayer and Sapphire Substrate contact-making surface, until can epitaxial loayer and Sapphire Substrate can be stripped from easily by further fast heating and cooling.
(3) Sapphire Substrate 110.
The described weak mechanical strength layer of this example adopts following manufacture method (Fig. 3):
Step 310: the Sapphire Substrate pattern mask is made
At Sapphire Substrate 110 deposition one deck masks 312, and graphical, expose the hole 313 such as diameter 2um, the spacing 3.25um that is matrix 314 arrangements.The material of mask can adopt SiO2 or photoresist according to dry method or wet etch process, or other material.
Step 320: Sapphire Substrate is graphical
Further adopt dry etching or wet etching that Sapphire Substrate 110 is carried out etching, formation is not more than 2um deeply, diameter 2um, spacing 1um are the hole 321 that matrix 314 is arranged.
Step 330: metal cladding
Can adopt electron beam evaporation process or Plasma Ion Assisted Deposition for Optical Coating to plate the metal level 331 that a layer thickness is not less than hole 321 degree of depth in patterned Sapphire Substrate, this example is got 3um.
Step 340: graphical metal level
Adopt photoetching technique and with chloroazotic acid 331 etchings of unnecessary metal level are removed, expose the Sapphire Substrate surface 342 of wide 1.5um, consist of indium metal six terrace with edges such as matrix 314 arrangements.Indium six terrace with edge length of side 1.4um.
Step 350: plating passivation layer
On graphical metal level 331, deposit again the thick SiO2 passivation layer 361 of one deck 0.5-1um first, adopt again photoetching technique and with chloroazotic acid unnecessary SiO2 etching is removed, expose the Sapphire Substrate surface 362 of wide 0.5um, consist of the weak mechanical strength layer 120 of six terrace with edge shapes.
After the manufacturing of finishing weak mechanical strength layer 120, Sapphire Substrate 110 is namely carried out epitaxial loayer 130 growths of gallium nitride.Epitaxial layer of gallium nitride 130 growths adopt general two-step method to carry out.Under nitrogen atmosphere, substrate is carried out first 1050 ℃ of high temperature sinterings of 10min, remove Sapphire Substrate 110 surface impurities.Because of the protection of 122 pairs of metal levels 121 of passivation layer, the structure of weak mechanical strength layer 120 is not destroyed at high temperature.Be cooled to again the 500-550 ℃ of thick not Doped GaN of deposition one deck 20-30nm after finishing high temperature sintering, then under nitrogen atmosphere, be warming up to 1040-1050 ℃ of crystallization, form stratum nucleare.Then proceed not mix or N-shaped GaN growth and be cooled to 900-950 ℃, continue approximately 500-1000s, the intensification of walking unhurriedly is again gone up in 500-1000s to 1040-1050 ℃, the not doping of continued growth 2um or N-shaped GaN.Through as above step, weak mechanical strength layer 120 is covered fully by gallium nitride.Because of the three-dimensional crystal growth pattern, the most of defective in the gallium nitride is converted to crosswise development, has reduced the defect concentration of gallium nitride.On this basis, continue the growth of the extension luminescent layer of LED, until epitaxial loayer is finished growth.
After finishing epitaxial loayer 130 growths of whole LED ray structure, the transfer of Sapphire Substrate 110 is carried out in reference as shown in Figure 4 method, and its step is as follows:
Step 410: plating p-type electrode
At first according to the manufacture method of the general p-type electrode of LED, at p-type GaN layer 134(Fig. 1) the transparency conducting layer ITO414 of deposition thick layer 200-250nm.On ITO414, deposit again the thick electrode of one deck 1um 415.For improving light extraction efficiency, also can plate the reflector of one deck high reflectance.
For making things convenient for peeling off of Sapphire Substrate 110, also can first Sapphire Substrate 110 be passed through to grind attenuate, make the crystal grain of required size specification.
Step 420: welding supporting substrate
Adopt the general semiconductor solder technology, the copper base 421 that scribbles golden tin solder is close to the epitaxial wafer 130 that is coated with gold electrode, and is carried out 10-20min280-300 ℃ of annealing, make copper base 421 tight with epitaxial wafer 130 welderings.
Step 430: mechanical assistance is peeled off Sapphire Substrate 110
The rapid temperature rise and drop that epitaxial wafer 130 is carried out more than 50 times-30 ℃ to 120 ℃ is processed, and alternating temperature speed is not to damage epitaxial wafer 130 for easy, and this example is optimized for and is not more than 50 ℃/min, further is optimized for 30 ℃/min.The intrinsic thermal deformation of the rapid thermal strain of metal level and gallium nitride and sapphire itself is poor, and weak mechanical strength layer 120 is broken away from fully with epitaxial loayer 130.
Use blue film to stick on the Sapphire Substrate 110, by tearing blue film off Sapphire Substrate 110 is peeled off.Stay remaining epitaxial loayer 130 to be supported by copper base 421, conveniently to carry out next step chip manufacturing.
The epitaxial loayer 130 that is transferred to copper base 421 can carry out according to general chip processing procedure, only sketches herein.
The epitaxial loayer 130 that copper base 421 shifts exposes resilient coating 131.Be undoped GaN such as resilient coating, must carry out etching and remove.Be N-shaped GaN such as resilient coating, can directly plate thereon metal, make N-shaped electrode 530.The chip that completes has vertical stratification as shown in Figure 5, and it has from top to bottom: N-shaped electrode 530, luminous epitaxial loayer 130, as the copper base 421 of the heat-conductivity conducting of p-type electrode.
The manufacture method of the vertical structure LED shown in this example, utilize metal level thermal denaturation, passivation layer 122 not to infiltrate with epitaxial loayer 130, and utilize the mask transverse epitaxial growth technology, when improving epitaxial loayer 130 growth qualities, realize the possibility that epitaxial loayer 130 and Sapphire Substrate 110 are peeled off, and by to epitaxial loayer 130 repeated multiple times heating and cooling process, further reduce the adhesion of weak 120 pairs of epitaxial loayer 130 of mechanical strength layer, realized that the integral body of the batch of epitaxial loayer 130 peels off, greatly improved production efficiency.
