Make electric current via the first electrode 21 and between first weld pad Pd1 and the second weld pad Pd2 by making current flow through Two electrodes 22 flow to laminate 80.Thus, the 3rd semiconductor layer 30 launches light.The light launched from the 3rd semiconductor layer 30 such as wraps Wavelength components containing more than 400nm below 600nm.
Advance to the direction of second 80b from a part for the light of the 3rd semiconductor layer 30 transmitting, and go out from second 80b Light.Reflect by the first electrode 21 or the second electrode 22 from another part of the light of the 3rd semiconductor layer 30 transmitting, and from second 80b goes out light.
In semiconductor light-emitting elements 101, the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 1 are arranged on first 80a side, And flow through electric current at transverse direction.Therefore, the structure of semiconductor light-emitting elements 101 is referred to as the Thin-Film of laterally energising type (Lateral Thin-Film:LTF, lateral thin-film) constructs.In LTF structure, it is not provided with electricity in exiting surface (second 80b) side Pole, therefore light extraction efficiency is higher.Additionally, embodiment is alternatively is provided with the second electrode 22 first 80a side and at second 80b side is provided with the Thin-Fi1m (Vertical Thin-Film:VTF, longitudinal thin film) of the longitudinal direction energising type of the first electrode 21 Structure.
On the other hand, in LTF constructs, area that the second electrode 22 connects with the second semiconductor layer 20, the first electrode 21 Area and the area (insulation between the first electrode 21 and the second semiconductor layer 20 in region that electrode is isolated from each other The area of a part of 40a of layer 40) summation be restricted to not reach chip area.What is called " area " refers to that projection is put down to XY herein Area during face.It addition, area when projecting the face the most vertical with bearing of trend of the arbitrary portion of the first electrode 21 is set to Sectional area.In LTF constructs, the area of electrode, sectional area are all vulnerable to joining of restriction, especially fine wire electrode (the first electrode 21) Line resistance uprises.Accordingly, there are following situation, i.e. be difficult to scale up at electric current along the direction of X/Y plane, thus luminescence becomes not Uniformly.If the expansion of electric current becomes uneven, then efficiency cannot utilize the entirety of luminescent layer well, thus luminous efficiency fall Low.And then, there is following situation, i.e. made driving voltage increase by the increase of wiring resistance, thus produce the fall of luminous efficiency The low increase with caloric value.
Reduction for the luminous efficiency in suppression LTF structure, it is possible to consider to expand the side of the width (area) of fine wire electrode The method of the radical of method or increase fine rule.But, in these methods, contribute to the area of the 3rd semiconductor layer 30 of luminescence Can reduce.And then, if reducing the area of the 3rd semiconductor layer 30, then overall electric current density easily increases, thus causes interior amount The reduction (Droop (decline) phenomenon) of sub-efficiency.The reduction of this internal quantum efficiency is aobvious in the case of with large driven current density element Write, cause the reduction of luminous efficiency.
Method as the reduction of suppression luminous efficiency, it is also contemplated that electrode is used the side of the metal that conductivity is higher Method.As the material that conductivity is higher, it is possible to enumerate such as gold (Au), silver (Ag) and copper (Cu).But, if electrode uses Au Or Ag, then manufacturing cost can increase.And then, in the case of electrode uses Ag, it is easily generated the energising after being formed by element and causes Migration.Accordingly, there are that electrode is yielding thus situation that reliability reduces.
The resistance of Cu is relatively low, and the material as electric wiring is excellent.On the other hand, in visible region, the suction of the light of Cu Yield is higher.Therefore, in the case of Cu is used as electrode, there is the part from the light of the 3rd semiconductor layer 30 transmitting electric Pole absorbs thus the situation of light extraction efficiency reduction.
Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B is the schematic diagram of Exemplary conductive properties of materials.Fig. 2 A is the electrical conductivity (conduction representing Al and Cu Rate) table of σ, Fig. 2 B is the curve chart of the luminous reflectance representing Al and Cu.
As shown in Figure 2 A, when 20 DEG C, the conductivityσ of Al is 3.55 × 107(/ Ω m), in contrast, the electrical conductivity of Cu Higher, it is 5.81 × 107(/Ωm).It addition, when 100 DEG C, the conductivityσ of Al is 2.82 × 107(/ Ω m), in contrast, C The conductivityσ of u is higher, is 4.48 × 107(/Ωm).So, Cu has the higher electrical conductivity of about 1.6 times relative to Al.
The longitudinal axis of Fig. 2 B represents the reflectance R of the light being vertically incident to metal from insulator, and transverse axis represents incident light Wavelength X (nm).Fig. 2 B represents use SiO2Or GaN is as insulator, and use Cu or Al as the situation of metal.Such as Fig. 2 B Shown in, during wavelength below 600nm degree, the reflectance of Cu is less than Al.Therefore, emission wavelength be below 600nm send out In optical element, in the case of using Cu as electrode, the loss of light becomes big compared with the situation using Al.Additionally, it is not shown The reflectance of Ag higher in the wavelength region of Fig. 2 B, be about 97%.
In the nitride-based semiconductor based light-emitting devices such as White LED, such as illuminating part sends blue light.Blue light has Wavelength near 450nm.A part of wavelength phosphor body of blue light is changed by White LED, obtains white light on the whole. Also have by red illuminating part or the illuminating part lamination of color are obtained the composition of white light.In either case, from sending out The energy of the light that light portion launches is present in the scope that wavelength is below 600nm mostly.The reflectance of the electrode of illuminated this kind of light More satisfactory is higher throughout wider wavelength domain.Thereby, it is possible to the loss of suppression light.From the viewpoint of reflectance, more satisfactory Al or Ag is used for electrode.But, as describe, use in the case of Al at fine wire electrode, exist wiring resistance increase from And the doubt that luminous efficiency reduces, in the case of fine wire electrode uses Ag, have what the reliability caused by migrating reduced Doubt.
In contrast, in the semiconductor light-emitting elements 101 of embodiment, for fine wire electrode (the first electrode 21), make With the higher Cu of electrical conductivity.And then, between the first electrode 21 and the first semiconductor layer 10, it is provided with that to comprise reflectance higher The first metal layer 31 of Al or Ag.
Thereby, it is possible to reduce the wiring resistance of the first electrode 21.Therefore, electric current expands the most equably, it is possible to efficiency is good Utilize the entirety of luminescent layer to make luminous efficiency improve.And then, from a part for the light of the 3rd semiconductor layer 30 transmitting by instead The first metal layer 31 that rate of penetrating is higher reflects, and goes out light from second 80b.Thereby, it is possible to make light extraction efficiency improve.
So, according to embodiment, do not make the light loss of fine wire electrode (the first electrode 21) increase and just can suppress distribution The rising of resistance.This refers to the most only reduce resistance value, and can cut down the area of fine wire electrode.Therefore, it is possible to increase the The area of three semiconductor layers 30.
In the case of the first metal layer 31 uses Ag, from the viewpoint of optics infiltration is long, the thickness of the first metal layer 31 Degree (along the thickness of Z-direction) is more satisfactory for more than 40nm, is more preferably more than 80nm.The feelings of Al are used at the first metal layer 31 Under condition, from the viewpoint of optics infiltration is long, the thickness of the first metal layer 31 is more satisfactory for more than 20nm, be more preferably 40nm with On.Thus, in the first metal layer 31, light becomes easily to reflect such that it is able to make light extraction efficiency improve.On the other hand, the first gold medal The thickness of genus layer 31 is especially in the case of using Al, more satisfactory for below 200nm.
Such as, for making the wiring resistance of fine wire electrode (the first electrode 21) reduce, it is also possible to consider to thicken fine wire electrode Method.But, if the first electrode 21 becomes blocked up, then the second electrode 22 being formed under the first electrode 21 or metal level 93 meeting Produce concavo-convex.If produce this kind concavo-convex, then have and produce jump on the composition surface of matrix 95 and metal level 93 thus engage and become Insufficient situation.Therefore, characteristic or the mechanical strength of light-emitting component reduces.It addition, in the case, at metal level 93 and base The near interface of body 95 is easily generated hole (space).If generation hole, then have as the second electrode 22 Ag by migrate and The mobile situation to hole, thus have light-emitting component and produce fault.And then, insufficient with the joint of metal level 93 at matrix 95 In the case of, have and reduced by the thermal diffusivity of the luminous produced heat of laminate 80.So, the increase of the thickness of fine wire electrode Reliability or yield to element make a very bad impression.From the viewpoint of heat conductivity or reliability, the thickness of fine wire electrode is wanted It is restricted.
In contrast, in the semiconductor light-emitting elements 101 of embodiment, the first electrode 21 uses the Cu that resistance is relatively low.Cause This, do not make the first electrode 21 thicken just and wiring resistance can be made to reduce.Thereby, it is possible to the rank on the composition surface of suppression and matrix 95 Difference, it is thus achieved that good joint.Therefore, it is possible to make the reliability of element or yield improve.
