Description

Multicolor LED array epitaxial process method and device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor materials, and particularly relates to a multicolor LED array epitaxial process method and a multicolor LED array epitaxial device.
Background
In recent years, LED lighting and display technologies have been rapidly developed. For lighting application, the mainstream technology at present is to combine a GaN-based blue LED and a yellow phosphor to form white light, and the method has a simple process and a low cost, but has the following disadvantages: (1) the color rendering of the white light source is still limited due to the limited spectral range excited by the fluorescent powder; (2) because the fluorescent powder needs a certain time to excite response, a higher modulation frequency signal is limited to be loaded in a light source power supply, so that the light source cannot be applied to a higher-frequency visible light communication system; (3) the single white light source chip cannot realize real-time color temperature adjustment, and is limited in application in special illumination aspects such as agriculture, biology, environment and the like. At present, full-spectrum LED illumination and display are realized by adopting a three-primary-color LED splicing mode, 3-4 LEDs are generally required to be packaged together to serve as a display pixel point, the method is high in cost, strict in requirements on packaging technology and large in pixel point area. In conclusion, the real-time preparation of the multi-color LED array structure in the LED epitaxial stage can greatly reduce the cost of the full-spectrum LED, greatly improve the performance of the full-spectrum LED, and has great significance in the fields of full-spectrum illumination and display, visible light communication and the like.
