5. four layers of metal of vapor deposition are Cr, Al, Ni, Al, the thickness of Cr, Al, Ni, Al be respectively 1nm, 120nm, 100nm, 2000nm, as the metal electrode layer 205 of chip, material of main part Al therein is divided to two sections of vapor depositions, can guarantee metal watch in this way Face does not have defect, and corresponding figure, graphics shape size position and reflective metal layer 202 complete one are obtained in the way of removing It causes.Au is replaced both to save cost using Al, and electrode surface also has reflex and some packed devices can be reflected back The light of chip reflects away again, improves light extraction efficiency.
6. after chip thinning is cut, testing chip of the chip brightness than regular reflection electrode after carrying out SMD5050 encapsulation It is high by 4% or so.
The manufacturing method of LED chip structure provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention, including sequentially form from the bottom up substrate, Epitaxial layer, reflective metal layer, current barrier layer, transparency conducting layer and metal electrode layer, current barrier layer coat reflective metal layer; Current barrier layer part is located on epitaxial layer.This structure is that the reflective metal layer in reflection electrode layer is transplanted to current blocking In layer, so that a front surface and a side surface of reflective metal layer is all wrapped in current barrier layer, to completely cut off the intrusion of introduced contaminants, keep away Exempt from reflective metal layer to contact with oxygen element, element sulphur, prevents from being oxidized, meanwhile, in chip fabrication processes, high temperature fusion is transparent When conductive layer, since reflective metal layer does not contact directly with transparency conducting layer, electric current is not had and passes through reflective metal layer, reflection Metal layer will not actively generate heat, and then improve the stability of LED chip structure, and the LED chip of such structure can be anti- The extremely following light of radio is allowed to not by Metal absorption, and can effectively be spread Injection Current and be reached the mesh for improving current flow uniformity , the effect of the two can improve the extraction efficiency of light, increase brightness, and metallic reflector is not involved in conduction and will not actively generate Heat improves a lot to the reliability tool of reflecting electrode.
