Description

A kind of patterned substrate for the positive assembling structure of led and led chip
Technical field
The present invention relates to led chip, particularly to a kind of patterned substrate for the positive assembling structure of led and led chip.
Background technology
Led as a kind of New Solid lighting source, with its caloric value low, power consumption is few, response speed is fast, life-span length, The advantages of small volume, is it is considered to be the green illumination light source of 21 century.Face the future the market demand of high-power illumination, led's Luminous efficiency has much room for improvement.The light extraction efficiency of led depends on internal quantum efficiency and external quantum efficiency.On the one hand, due to gan and indigo plant There is larger difference in the lattice paprmeter of gem substrate and thermal coefficient of expansion, creating density in the crystal of gan thin film is 109- 1012cm-2Pass through dislocation, this creates detrimental effect to the internal quantum efficiency of gan base led.However, with the life of gan extension The continuing to optimize of long technology, the epitaxy quality of gan increases, and the internal quantum efficiency of current led has reached more than 90%.Another Aspect, gan has higher coefficient of refraction (n=2.45), the critical angle [θ of beam projectingc=sin-1(nair/ngan)] be only 24.6 °, lead to exist serious total reflection phenomenon between led chip and air, external quantum efficiency is difficult to improve.Ask for this Topic, patterned substrate technology can not only change light by pattern inclined plane and inject direction, make light in the angle of incidence of interface outgoing Diminish (less than the cirtical angle of total reflection), more light energy transmissions and go out, so that external quantum efficiency is improved;Gan can also be made Producing horizontal epitaxy effect in epitaxial growth, thus reducing defect concentrations in crystals, improving the internal quantum efficiency of led.For meeting The requirement of device performance, several kinds of renewals of design of graph substrate, from initial flute profile to hexagon, taper, prismoid shaped etc., scheme The application effect of shape substrate technology is approved.
The pattern of substrate is the key of patterned substrate technology, and underlay pattern develops so far, to led light extraction effect with outward Prolong quality and improve significantly, it has also become improve the important channel of led performance, decisive role is played to the light extraction efficiency of led.As The direct factor of impact light path, the parameter of pattern will certainly affect (including the length of side, height and spacing etc.) property of led in the choice Energy.J.h.cheng et al. etches the cone shaped pattern with different inclination angle on a sapphire substrate using wet etching technique, Find that the inclination angle of cone shaped pattern produces considerable influence to the epitaxy quality of gan, defect concentration, internal quantum efficiency etc..In order to subtract Few dislocation is it should take less side inclination angle, but small inclination can weaken figure to the reflection of light or scattering effect, therefore Need to seek an equilibrium point.D.s.wuu et al. prepares the length of side on a sapphire substrate using wet etching technique and is 3 μm, deep Spend the triangular pyramid figure for 1.5 μm, gan is grown using mocvd method and makes chip, it is carried out with optic test, find figure The external quantum efficiency of Sapphire Substrate gan base led is different because of the change of pattern density, the output of patterned substrate led The output lifting 25% of the common led of power ratio.In addition, r.hsueh et al. is made on a sapphire substrate with nanometer embossing Standby nano level underlay pattern, the light intensity of led chip that this substrate produces and light emission rate are higher than all common Sapphire Substrate Led, has been respectively increased 67% and 38%, also superior to micron order graph substrate led.But not dimension of picture is less, the performance of led is just Better, the relation between dimension of picture and led performance still needs balance.Research shows: with the reduction of pattern-pitch, in gan With sapphire interface, the cavity of generation because gan growth has little time to heal easily occurs, and cause the more dislocation of epitaxial layer, that is, Just light extraction efficiency has been lifted, but the increase of epitaxial layer dislocation can reduce its internal quantum efficiency and led chip life-span.In addition, Nano-scale patterns manufacturing cost is high, and industrialization is relatively difficult, also greatly limit its popularization and application.As can be seen here, dimension of picture Optimization with led performance also needs to study further.
Content of the invention
In order to overcome disadvantages mentioned above and the deficiency of prior art, it is an object of the invention to provide a kind of be used for led formal dress The patterned substrate of structure, has more excellent light extraction efficiency, improves the external quantum efficiency of led chip, effectively suppresses spiral shell type The generation of dislocation, further improves epitaxy quality, thus improve the internal quantum efficiency of led.
The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
A kind of patterned substrate for the positive assembling structure of led, the pattern of substrate is by the multiple shapes being arranged in substrate surface Identical dome-shaped pattern forms.
Described dome-shaped pattern is axisymmetric vertebral body, the circle that the bottom surface of vertebral body is 0.8~1.2 μm for radius, vertebral body A height of 1.3~1.6 μm;Vertebral body is the class triangle that the circular arc symmetrical by two sections and one section of straightway form along the section of axis of symmetry Shape;The corresponding central angle of described circular arc is 5 °~15 °.
The spacing of adjacent vertebral bodies is 2.0~4.0 μm.
A kind of led chip, including the above-mentioned patterned substrate for the positive assembling structure of led.
The present invention, on the basis of pyramid type patterned substrate, is optimized to underlay pattern, and bus is changed into curve, obtains To dome-shaped pattern;Due to being changed into after curve bus, light also can phase with reflection path in the order of reflection of led chip internal Should change, thus producing different impacts to led light extraction efficiency, and, the change of tapered side radian can increase etched substrate The difficulty of technique, the degree of accuracy of etching technics can have a huge impact to underlay pattern quality and optical property.Therefore, it can The parameter of dome-shaped pattern is further optimized, in the optimization problem of pattern dimension, need change in size and its Balance between gan growth quality is damaged, ensures more preferable epitaxy quality on the premise of improving light extraction efficiency.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has advantages below and a beneficial effect:
(1) present invention passes through using dome-shaped pattern, and by optimizing pattern parameter, substantially increases reflection photon and reach The ability at led chip top, makes more light reflex to chip top, and bottom and side luminous flux also increased simultaneously, figure The external quantum efficiency of shape Sapphire Substrate gan base led has been lifted.Compare common pattern-free substrate led, total light flux increases Greatly to 2.49 times, top luminous flux increases to 3.0 times, and bottom luminous flux increases to 2.5 times.
(2) present invention has the light extraction efficiency more excellent than general substrate led chip, and dome-shaped pattern is tapered, with Commercial patterned substrate pattern is consistent at present, can adopt original substrate etching technology, saves development cost.
(3) present invention optimizes on the basis of pyramid type graph substrate, changes shape and the parameter of pattern, it is to avoid between edge Away from the too big or too little epitaxy defect causing, effectively suppress the generation of screw dislocation, further improve epitaxy quality, thus Improve the internal quantum efficiency of led.
