The method for transporting micro- light emitting diode using above-mentioned growth and transloading equipment, including:
S100:Multiple micro- light emitting diodes 20 are formed in the side of growth substrate 10, as shown in figure 4, usually, Duo Gewei Light emitting diode 20 is arranged in array, and light emitting diode 20 includes part 23 to be transported and non-transhipment part 24 slightly for this;
S200:The first film layer 60 is formed in side of multiple micro- light emitting diodes 20 away from growth substrate 10, specifically, can To form the first film layer 60 in top surface of micro- light emitting diode 20 away from growth substrate 10 and the side being connected with the top surface, make First film layer 60 covers the surface of each micro- light emitting diode 20, as shown in Figure 5;
S300:The first film layer 60 is patterned, to form protective layer 30, protective layer 30 is only covered non-transhipment part;Exposure Micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported, that is, part 23 to be transported in micro- light emitting diode 20 is exposed, generally by part to be transported Top surface of each micro- light emitting diode 20 away from growth substrate 10 and the side being connected with the top surface are exposed in 23, such as scheme Shown in 7, now, because part 23 to be transported is exposed, the non-matcoveredn 30 of transhipment part 24 covers, therefore, part 23 to be transported Difference in height D4 is formd with one side of the protective layer 30 away from growth substrate 10;
S400:Whole face forms pickup layer 50 in transhipment substrate 40, picks up 50 flexible power of layer, that is, picks up layer 50 at least Elastic deformability with edge perpendicular to the direction of transhipment substrate 40;
S500:Pickup layer 50 is pressed with growth substrate 10, pickup layer 50 (is treated with micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported Transhipment part 23) fitting, as shown in figure 8, i.e. now pickup layer 50 is in deformation state;
S600:Micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported (part 23 i.e. to be transported) is picked up, specifically, pickup mode can be Electrostatic Absorption, it can also be bonded and adsorbed by bonding agent, as shown in Figure 9.
Above-mentioned growth and transloading equipment, because the matcoveredn 30 of non-transhipment part 24 in multiple micro- light emitting diodes 20 covers Lid, and part to be transported 23 is exposed, therefore, one side of the part 23 to be transported away from growth substrate 10 is with protective layer 30 away from growth Difference in height D4 is formed between the one side of substrate 10;And form pickup layer 50, the pickup layer 50 in the whole face of transhipment substrate 40 side Flexible power, for micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported of different array arrangements, in pickup layer 50 and micro- light emitting diode 20 Close to when, the part (i.e. the part relative with non-transhipment part 24) that has of pickup layer 50, which is squeezed, to be deformed upon, so as to pick up A part in layer 50 is bonded with to be transported 23 micro- light emitting diode 20, remainder and remaining micro- light emitting diode 20 it Between do not contact, then pick up layer 50 and pick up micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported, when pickup layer 50 pick up it is to be transported micro- luminous After diode 20, pickup layer 50 restores to the original state and (picks up layer 50 to recover to non-deformed state).Clearly as transhipment substrate 40 The whole face of side has pickup layer 50, and picks up 50 flexible power of layer, therefore, for the to be transported micro- of different array arrangements Light emitting diode 20, same pickup layer 50 can be used, so save the manufacturing cost of growth and transloading equipment.
It is to be appreciated that transhipment substrate 40 forms transhipment head with pickup layer 50, i.e. step S400 forms transhipment head.
Growth substrate 10 forms supplying substrate with micro- light emitting diode 20, for providing micro- light emitting diode 20, protection Layer 30 is used to protect non-transhipment part, when pickup layer 50 picks up part to be transported, prevents non-transhipment part with picking up layer 50 Contact, to ensure the accuracy of the pickup pickup of layer 50.Generally, supplying substrate forms structure as shown in Figure 5, and the first film layer 60 is covered Each micro- light emitting diode 20 (including part to be transported 23 and non-transhipment part 24) is covered, then according to micro- light-emitting diodes to be transported The arrangement mode of pipe 20 patterns the first film layer 60, exposes part 23 to be transported, in case transhipment head transports part 23 to be transported, That is above-mentioned steps S100~S300 forms supplying substrate.
It should be noted that the no sequencing of formation of the formation and supplying substrate of transhipment head, can be initially formed supply Substrate, re-form transhipment head;Transhipment head can also be initially formed, re-forms supplying substrate.In head to be transported and the equal shape of supplying substrate Cheng Hou, perform step S500 and step S600.
Pick up layer 50 away from transhipment substrate 40 the generally planar structure of one side, protective layer 30 away from growth substrate 10 one The one side of face and micro- light emitting diode 20 away from growth substrate 10 is planar structure, in order to preferably control pickup layer 50 With being bonded for part 23 to be transported, and the interval with non-transhipment part 24.In above-mentioned steps S600, pickup layer 50, which picks up, to be waited to turn After transporting part 23, part 23 to be transported can move together with pickup layer 50 (and transhipment substrate 40), in order to will be to be transported Part 23, which is positioned over, to be received on substrate.
The material of above-mentioned pickup layer 50 can be silica gel material, and its surface can set PDMS membrane, with When picking up part 23 to be transported, using the adhesive bond of dimethyl silicone polymer part 23 to be transported, pickup force now is viscous Relay.Pickup layer 50 can also pick up part 23 to be transported by way of Electrostatic Absorption.
It is to be appreciated that if micro- light emitting diode 20 and the connection area of growth substrate 10 are too big, can cause to pick up layer The force ratio of 50 pickup parts 23 to be transported is larger, micro- in a kind of alternative embodiment of the application in order to solve the above problems Light emitting diode 20 includes body 21 and connecting portion 22, and body 21 is formed at the side of growth substrate 10 by connecting portion 22, and Along gap is left between the direction of growth substrate 10, each body 21 and growth substrate 10, i.e., along perpendicular to growth substrate 10 direction, the area of the projection of body 21 are more than the area of the projection of connecting portion 22.So reduce micro- light emitting diode 20 With the connection area of growth substrate 10, and then reduce attachment force therebetween, so that pickup layer 50 is easy to pick up portion to be transported Point.
In above-described embodiment, if the attachment force between micro- light emitting diode 20 and growth substrate 10 is too big, to pickup The pickup force of layer 50 requires bigger;If the attachment force between micro- light emitting diode 20 and growth substrate 10 is too small, drawing , may be between non-transhipment part 24 and growth substrate 10 when breaking or breaking part 23 to be transported and the connection of growth substrate 10 Connection status can damage.Therefore, the attachment force between part 23 to be transported and growth substrate 10 requires as small as possible, and Attachment force between non-transhipment part 24 and growth substrate 10 requires as big as possible, in order to balance above two attachment force, growth Also include supporting layer 70 with transloading equipment, supporting layer 70 is filled between body 21 and growth substrate 10 in non-transhipment part 24 Gap, as shown in fig. 7, the attachment force of non-transhipment part and growth substrate 10 is added by supporting layer 70, so, micro- luminous When diode 20 and the less attachment force of growth substrate 10, non-transhipment part 24 and growth can be also compensated by supporting layer 70 Attachment force between substrate 10, so as to when pickup layer 50 picks up part 23 to be transported, the pickup pickup of layer 50 is easy to treat Transhipment part 23, and can enough ensure that the connection of non-transhipment part 24 and growth substrate 10 is not destroyed as far as possible.
Above-mentioned connecting portion 22 can be formed step by step with body 21, and alternatively, connecting portion 22 walks with body 21 in a technique Formed in rapid, to simplify formation process.
When micro- light emitting diode 20 includes connecting portion 22, in above-mentioned steps S200, formed in the side of growth substrate 10 Multiple micro- light emitting diodes 20, are specifically as follows:
S201:The second film layer 80 is formed in the side of growth substrate 10, as shown in Figure 3;
S202:Multiple micro- light emitting diodes 20 are formed in the second side of the film layer 80 away from growth substrate 10, it is each micro- luminous Diode 20 includes body 21 and connecting portion 22, and connecting portion 22 is used to connect body 21 and growth substrate 10, as shown in Figure 4;
Wherein, above-mentioned second film layer 80 is formed between body 21 and growth substrate 10, the film layer 80 of connecting portion 22 and second Positioned at same film layer.
In this way, connecting portion 22, i.e. connecting portion 22 and the one-shot forming of body 21, work are formed by the second film layer 80 Skill is simple, easy to operation;And the bonding strength of connecting portion 22 and body 21 can be increased, make micro- light emitting diode 20 and growth base The attachment force at bottom 10 will not be too small.Certainly, connecting portion 22 can also be formed step by step with body 21, such as first the one of growth substrate 10 Side forms connecting portion 22, then forms body 21 in side of the connecting portion 22 away from growth substrate 10.
It should be noted that when including supporting layer 70, generally use body 21 and the one-shot forming of connecting portion 22, with facility It is identical with the material of the second film layer 80 with the straight forming supporting layer 70 of the second film layer 80, i.e. supporting layer 70.Specifically, above-mentioned steps In S300, the first film layer 60 is patterned, exposes micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported, including:
S301:The first film layer 60, exposure micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported are patterned, and is turned in the second film layer 60 with waiting The relative part of body 21 of micro- light emitting diode 20 of fortune, remaining part forms protective layer 30 in the first film layer 60;
S302:Etch in the second film layer 80 positioned at micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported body 21 and growth substrate 10 it Between part, the connecting portion 22 of exposure micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported, remaining part forms support in the second film layer 80 Layer 70.
In this way, supporting layer 70 can be a part for the second film layer 80, therefore, there is no need to independently form support The film layer 80 of layer 70 and second, so as to save manufacturing process.
Usually, as shown in figure 1, the thickness D1 of body 21 is big compared with the thickness D2 of connecting portion 22, the side where above-mentioned thickness To perpendicular to growth substrate 10, wish only to pick up body 21 due to after the fracture of connecting portion 22, picking up layer 50, using this knot Structure, the part for the connecting portion 22 being connected on body 21 can be reduced as far as possible, so that pickup layer 50 as far as possible only treat by pickup The body 21 of transhipment part, received in order to which the body 21 of part to be transported is positioned on substrate.
Due to picking up 50 flexible power of layer, it may occur that elastic deformation, support force therefore, during in order to be deformed to it is provided, Transport substrate 40 and be generally rigid structure, in order to when pickup layer 50 is bonded with part to be transported, transport substrate 40 and protection The pickup layer 50 that layer 30 is pointed to therebetween together is extruded, and deforms the part.
When pickup layer 50 is in non-deformed state, the minimum thickness D3 of pickup layer 50 is more than protective layer 30 away from growth base Bottom 10 with micro- light emitting diode 20 away from growth substrate 10 while the distance between D4, as shown in figure 1, above-mentioned thickness , using the structure, pasted with part to be transported and protective layer 30 in pickup layer 50 perpendicular to growth substrate 10 in the direction at place During conjunction, the elastic deformation limit of pickup layer 50 is not up to, ensure that the life-span of pickup layer 50;And the structure can make it is to be transported Part fully contacts with pickup layer 50, so as to ensure that pickup layer 50 picks up the reliability of part to be transported.
Further, in order to extend the service life of pickup layer 50, when pickup layer 50 is bonded with part to be transported, it is desirable to The deformation of pickup layer 50 is as small as possible, and therefore, one side of the protective layer 30 away from growth substrate 10 and micro- light emitting diode 20 are remote The distance between the one side of growth substrate 10 D4 is the smaller the better.
When transporting head with supplying substrate manufacture, the spacing distance between two neighboring micro- light emitting diode 20 is bigger, away from It is bigger from D4, it is desirable to which that the elastic deformability for picking up layer 50 is better.
In the various embodiments described above, protective layer 30 protects the surface of non-transhipment part 24, i.e. protective layer 30 covers non-transhipment portion Top surface of each micro- light emitting diode 20 away from growth substrate 10 and the side being connected with hd top face in points 24, as shown in Fig. 1,7, The non-run-off the straight of transhipment part 24 is caused to prevent from picking up when layer 50 presses with part 23 to be transported, especially in micro- light emitting diode 20 when including connecting portion 22.
Specifically, protective layer 30 can be formed by coating process, can also depositing operation formed, using depositing operation During formation, contact of the coating head with micro- light emitting diode 20 can be avoided, so as to prevent from causing micro- light emitting diode 20 to tilt.
The material of protective layer 30 can be at least one of metal and photoresist, that is to say, that the material of protective layer 30 Can be only metal or photoresist, or the mixed materials of metal and photoresist.It is metal in the material of protective layer 30 When, i.e., the material of the first film layer 60 is metal, such as alloy, aluminium material, the first film layer 60 can be carried out by wet-etching technique Patterning, to form protective layer 30;When the material of protective layer 30 is photoresist, i.e., the material of the first film layer 60 is photoresist, The first film layer 60 can be patterned by photoetching process, to form protective layer 30.
In above-mentioned steps S301, the first film layer 60, the exposure film layer of micro- light emitting diode 20 and second to be transported are patterned The part relative with the body 21 of micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported in 80, it is specially:
The part that micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported is covered in the first film layer 60 is etched using photoetching process, is made to be transported The partial denudation relative with the body 21 of micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported in micro- film layer 80 of light emitting diode 20 and second, such as Shown in Fig. 6.
Usually, the second film layer 80 and the material of supporting layer 70 are generally metal, therefore, in step S302, etching second Part in film layer 80 between the body 21 of micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported and growth substrate 10, exposure are to be transported The connecting portion 22 of micro- light emitting diode 20, it is specially:
The body 21 and growth substrate for being located at micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported in the second film layer 80 are etched with wet etching Part between 10, make the connecting portion 22 of micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported exposed, as shown in Figure 7.
From the foregoing, it will be observed that the first film layer 60 is etched using photoetching process, the second film layer 80 is etched using wet etching, can avoid carving Etching liquid is to the etching of the second film layer 80 when losing the first film layer 60, so as to ensure the precision of etching.
It should be noted that it is metal in protective layer 30 (i.e. the first film layer 60) and supporting layer 70 (i.e. the second film layer 80) When, the material of the two is different, and corresponding etching liquid will not etch micro- light emitting diode 20;And using wet etching etching first The etching liquid of film layer 60 will not also etch the second film layer 80.
In above-mentioned steps S500, pickup layer 50 is pressed with growth substrate 10, pickup layer 50 and to be transported micro- luminous two Pole pipe 20 is bonded, and is specially:
Substrate 40 and pickup layer 50 are transported close to growth substrate 10, deforms upon pickup layer 50 so that pickup layer 50 with The body 21 and protective layer 30 of micro- light emitting diode 20 to be transported are bonded, as shown in figure 8, now, pickup layer 50 is in Deformation state.
