Lower section, causes base part peripheral location not have electric current, the concentrations of this electric current can produce substantial amounts of heat, ultimately result in
The inefficacy of LED.
Summary of the invention
Based on the problem solved in above-mentioned encapsulation, the invention provides a kind of LED with current barrier layer
Manufacture method, specifically includes following steps:
(1) substrate is provided, grows GaN epitaxial layer over the substrate, then utilize dry etching to etch the first electrode and put
Putting region, described placement region is stepped;
(2) the non-etch areas in described GaN epitaxial layer forms a photoresist layer;
(3) etch described photoresist layer, form a series of donut, in donut, fill ITO to form conducting ring;
(4) described photoresist layer is removed;The lamination of SiO2 and TiO2 is deposited to form current blocking around described conducting ring
Layer, polishing end face makes the end face of described conducting ring flush with the end face of described current barrier layer;
(5) on described current barrier layer, deposit one layer of ITO electric current and expand layer;Thinning described substrate, and form one layer overleaf
Bragg reflection film, to strengthen reflection;The making of LED is completed to this.
Wherein, the center superposition of the non-etch areas of the center of described conducting ring and described GaN epitaxial layer, and adjacent
The interval of two described conducting rings is equal, but the width of described conducting ring is gradually increased from inside to outside, is the equal difference of 3 μm in equal difference
Ordered series of numbers arranges, and wherein the width of the conducting ring of innermost circle is 1 μm;.
Wherein, alternating growth thickness is the SiO2 of λ/4n1 and thickness is the TiO2 of λ/4n2, and growth cycle is 2-10, its
Middle n1 is the refractive index of SiO2, and n2 is the refractive index of TiO2, and λ is the emission wavelength of this epitaxial wafer.
Wherein, described substrate is Sapphire Substrate.
Wherein, growth GaN epitaxial layer specifically includes over the substrate: on substrate, N-type GaN of silicon is mixed in growth successively
Layer, multiple quantum well light emitting layer, mix the p-type GaN layer of magnesium.
Present invention also offers a kind of LED with current barrier layer, comprising:
Substrate;
Epitaxial growth GaN epitaxial layer over the substrate over the substrate, utilizes the first electrode that dry etching etches
Placing region, described placement region is stepped;
It is formed at the current barrier layer not being etched on region of described GaN epitaxial layer;
In described current barrier layer, uniform intervals has concentric ITO conducting ring, the end face of described conducting ring and described current blocking
The end face of layer flushes;
The ITO electric current being deposited on described current barrier layer expands layer.
Wherein, the width of described conducting ring is gradually increased from inside to outside, is the arithmetic progression arrangement of 3 μm in equal difference, wherein
The width of the conducting ring of innermost circle is 1 μm.
Wherein, the bragg reflection film that substrate back is formed it is additionally included in.
Advantages of the present invention is as follows:
(1) present invention utilizes concentric conducting ring to carry out electric current transmission, prevents electric current in the concentrations at the middle part of electrode;
(2) SiO2 that alternating growth thickness is λ/4n1 and the TiO2 that thickness is λ/4n2 is utilized to add strong reflection.

Detailed description of the invention
See Fig. 1-8, present invention firstly provides the manufacture method of a kind of LED with current barrier layer, tool
Body comprises the steps:
Seeing Fig. 1, it is provided that a substrate 1, described substrate 1 is Sapphire Substrate;
See Fig. 2, described substrate 1 grows GaN epitaxial layer 2: the N-type GaN layer of silicon, volume are mixed in growth the most successively
Sub-trap luminescent layer, mixes the p-type GaN layer of magnesium;Then utilize dry etching to etch the first electrode and place region 3, described rest area
Territory is stepped;
Seeing Fig. 3, the non-etch areas in described GaN epitaxial layer 2 forms a photoresist layer 4;
See Fig. 4, etch described photoresist layer 4, form a series of donut;ITO is filled to be formed in donut
The center superposition of conducting ring 5, the center of described conducting ring 5 and the non-etch areas of described GaN epitaxial layer, and adjacent two
The interval of described conducting ring 5 is equal, but the width of described conducting ring 5 is gradually increased from inside to outside, is the difference such as grade of 3 μm in equal difference
Row arrangement, wherein the width of the conducting ring of innermost circle is 1 μm;
See Fig. 5, remove described photoresist layer 4;
See Fig. 6 a, deposition SiO around described conducting ring 52And TiO2To form current barrier layer 6, alternating growth thickness
SiO for λ/4n12It is the TiO of λ/4n2 with thickness2, growth cycle is 2-10, and wherein n1 is the refractive index of SiO2, and n2 is
The refractive index of TiO2, λ is the emission wavelength of this epitaxial wafer;Polishing end face makes the end face of described conducting ring 5 hinder with described electric current
The end face of barrier 6 flushes;Fig. 6 b shows the top view of Fig. 6 a;
