Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing high-voltage LED chips, comprising the following steps: (1) selecting and using a sapphire substrate to grow a GaN epitaxy, and depositing a P-SiO2 film after Mesa etching and gallium nitride deep etching (ISO), wherein the thickness of the P-SiO2 film is from 100nm to 1 micron; (2) carrying out layout design on the substrate prepared in the previous step, and during layout design, on the basis of P-SiO2 prepared through six photo-etching methods, retaining P-SiO2 at all etching slopes; (3) after P-SiO2 photo-etching, removing non-retained P-SiO2 through wet etching; (4) after P-SiO2 is finished, continuing subsequent ITO and PN- Pad processes; and (5) after the PN- Pad process, annealing products for 10min at 250 DEG C and in a nitrogen protective atmosphere, and spot-testing and judging the products based on photoelectric parameters. As P-SiO2 protects etching slopes and there is no SiO2 passivation process, corrosion caused by halogen elements to PN-Pad metal pads during dry-etching of passivated SiO2 is avoided, and the use reliability of high-voltage LED chip products is ensured.
