Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
Fig. 1A to fig. 1H are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating a manufacturing process of a micro light emitting device display apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic top view of the pads and the light shielding patterns of fig. 1H. First, referring to fig. 1H, the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 includes a circuit substrate 50, a plurality of epitaxial structures 110P, and a plurality of pads 120. The epitaxial structures 110P are disposed on the circuit substrate 50 in a dispersed manner, and the pads 120 are disposed between the epitaxial structures 110P and the circuit substrate 50. The epitaxial structures 110P are electrically connected to the circuit substrate 50 through the pads 120, respectively. In the present embodiment, the circuit substrate 50 is, for example, a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) substrate, a Liquid Crystal On Silicon (LCOS) substrate, a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) substrate or other substrates with operating circuits.
Further, the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 further includes a plurality of light shielding patterns 130. The light-shielding patterns 130 and the plurality of pads 120 are alternately arranged on the circuit substrate 50, and each light-shielding pattern 130 is connected between two adjacent pads 120. In the embodiment, the light shielding patterns 130 are connected to each other and surround the pads 120 (as shown in fig. 2), but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the plurality of light shielding patterns 130 may be spaced apart from each other. In the embodiment, each of the pads 120 protrudes from the circuit substrate 50 by a first height H1, and each of the light shielding patterns 130 protrudes from the circuit substrate 50 by a second height H2, and the first height H1 may be substantially equal to the second height H2. That is, the surface 120s of each pad 120 connected to the epitaxial structure 110P may substantially align with the surface 130s of the light shielding pattern 130. The light blocking pattern 130 may block light of a wavelength band of 150nm to 400nm from passing, that is, light of a wavelength band of 150nm to 400nm may be mostly absorbed or reflected by the light blocking pattern 130 without being transmitted therethrough. In the present embodiment, the light-shielding pattern 130 can block the laser light with a wavelength of 248nm from penetrating. Preferably, the Young's modulus of the light-shielding pattern 130 is between 2.9GPa and 3.6 GPa. The material of the light-shielding pattern 130 of the present embodiment is an organic material, such as photoresist, benzocyclobutene (BCB), Polyimide (PI), organic glue, and the like.
On the other hand, the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 may further optionally include an insulating layer 140 and a plurality of conductive patterns 150. The conductive patterns 150 are respectively disposed in an overlapping manner on the epitaxial structures 110P and between the pads 120 and the circuit substrate 50. The pads 120 are electrically connected to the circuit substrate 50 through the conductive patterns 150. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and according to other embodiments, the pads 120 may be directly electrically connected to the circuit substrate 50. Further, the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 further includes a planarization layer 160 and a conductive layer CE. The planarization layer 160 is disposed between the plurality of epitaxial structures 110P. The epitaxial structures 110P each have a peripheral surface 110Ps facing another epitaxial structure 110P, and the planarization layer 160 covers the peripheral surface 110Ps of each epitaxial structure 110P. In the present embodiment, the material of the insulating layer 140 and the planarization layer 160 includes an inorganic material (e.g., silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, other suitable materials, or a stacked layer of at least two of the above materials), an organic material, or other suitable materials, or a combination thereof.
As mentioned above, the conductive layer CE covers the plurality of epitaxial structures 110P and the planarization layer 160 and is electrically connected to the plurality of epitaxial structures 110P. In other words, in the embodiment, the conductive layer CE may be a common electrode (common electrode), but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the conductive layer may also be a plurality of conductive traces separated from each other, and each conductive trace is electrically connected to a portion of the epitaxial structure 110P. Particularly, the conductive layer CE and the pad 120 of the present embodiment are respectively located at two opposite sides of the epitaxial structure 110P. That is, in the present embodiment, the micro light emitting device formed by the partial conductive layer CE, the pad 120 and the epitaxial structure 110P is, for example, a vertical type light emitting diode (led) device.
For example, when the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 is enabled, the pad 120 may have a high level, and the conductive layer CE may have a Ground level (Ground) or a low level. The current generated by the level difference between the pad 120 and the conductive layer CE enables the corresponding epitaxial structure 110P and emits a (visible) light beam. More specifically, the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 can be controlled by the active device of the circuit substrate 50, so that the plurality of pads 120 have different high levels, respectively, and the epitaxial structures 110P emit light beams with different intensities due to different driving currents. The distribution of the light beams with different light intensities in the space can form an image picture to be seen by human eyes.
It should be noted that when the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 is enabled, the light shielding pattern 130 is disposed to block the light beam from the epitaxial structure 110P from being irradiated onto the circuit substrate 50, and cause degradation of active devices (e.g., thin film transistors) on the circuit substrate 50. In other words, the light-shielding pattern 130 is provided to help improve the operational stability of the driving circuit and the reliability under long-term operation (long-life operation). The following will exemplarily describe a manufacturing flow of the micro light-emitting element display device 1 shown in fig. 1H.
Referring to fig. 1A, an epitaxial layer 110 is first formed on an epitaxial substrate 60. For example, the epitaxial layer 110 includes a second-type semiconductor layer 113, a light-emitting layer 112 and a first-type semiconductor layer 111 sequentially stacked on the epitaxial substrate 60. In the embodiment, the first-type semiconductor layer 111 is, for example, a P-type semiconductor, the second-type semiconductor layer 113 is, for example, an N-type semiconductor, and the light emitting layer 112 may be, but not limited to, a Multiple Quantum Well (MWQ) layer. Next, a plurality of first sub-pads 121 separated from each other are formed on the epitaxial layer 110, as shown in fig. 1B. The first sub-pad 121 is made of a conductive material, such as gold or gold-tin alloy.
Referring to fig. 1C, after forming a plurality of first sub-pads 121, a plurality of light-shielding patterns 130 are formed on the epitaxial layer 110, wherein the light-shielding patterns 130 and the plurality of first sub-pads 121 are alternately arranged on the epitaxial layer 110, but the invention is not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, the light-shielding patterns 130 do not overlap the first sub-pads 121 in a direction perpendicular to the epitaxial substrate 60. More specifically, the plurality of light-shielding patterns 130 are cut to align the plurality of first sub-pads 121, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the adjacent light shielding patterns and the first sub-pads 121 may be spaced apart from each other.
Next, the epitaxial substrate 60 is bonded to the wiring substrate 50, as shown in fig. 1D. For example, before the epitaxial substrate 60 is bonded on the circuit substrate 50, a plurality of second sub-pads 122 may be formed on the circuit substrate 50, and the second sub-pads 122 correspond to the plurality of first sub-pads 121 on the epitaxial layer 110, but the invention is not limited thereto. Specifically, in some embodiments, the light-shielding patterns 130 may be pre-disposed between the second sub-pads 122 before the epitaxial substrate 60 is bonded to the circuit substrate 50. That is, the plurality of light-shielding patterns 130 and the plurality of second sub-pads 122 are alternately arranged on the circuit substrate 50. In the embodiment, the circuit substrate 50 may further include an insulating layer 140 and a conductive pattern 150, wherein the conductive pattern 150 is disposed between the second sub-pad 122 and the circuit substrate 50, and the second sub-pad 122 penetrates through the insulating layer 140 and is electrically connected to the conductive pattern 150, but the invention is not limited thereto.
In this step, each light-shielding pattern 130 on the epitaxial layer 110 may extend into the gap 122g between two corresponding second sub-pads 122 on the circuit substrate 50 to connect the insulating layer 140 on the circuit substrate 50, but the invention is not limited thereto. According to other embodiments, each of the light shielding patterns 130 may also be directly connected to the circuit substrate 50. Particularly, after the epitaxial substrate 60 is bonded to the circuit substrate 50, the first sub-pads 121 are respectively connected to the second sub-pads 122 to form the pads 120. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and according to other embodiments, the plurality of pads 120 may be formed on the epitaxial substrate 60 or the circuit substrate 50 in advance before the epitaxial substrate 60 is bonded on the circuit substrate 50.
Referring to fig. 1E and fig. 1F, after the epitaxial layer 110 is bonded to the circuit substrate 50, the epitaxial substrate 60 is removed. For example, the method of removing the epitaxial substrate 60 includes performing a Laser Lift-Off (LLO) process. Specifically, the contact surface 110s between the epitaxial layer 110 and the epitaxial substrate 60 may be irradiated with the laser LB from the side of the epitaxial substrate 60 away from the epitaxial layer 110 to separate the second type semiconductor layer 113 and the epitaxial substrate 60. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and the epitaxial substrate 60 may be removed by a polishing process according to other embodiments. On the other hand, in order to reduce the power of the laser LB for energy saving, the epitaxial substrate 60 may be thinned before the laser lift-off process is performed, so as to reduce the optical energy loss of the laser LB through the epitaxial substrate 60. It should be noted that, in the process of irradiating the epitaxial layer 110 with the laser LB, the light-shielding pattern 130 can effectively absorb the laser LB, so as to prevent the circuit substrate 50 from being damaged by the irradiation with the laser LB, which is beneficial to improving the overall production yield.
After removing the epitaxial substrate 60, a portion of the epitaxial layer 110 is removed to form a plurality of epitaxial structures 110P (i.e., the epitaxial layer 110 is patterned), as shown in fig. 1G. Specifically, the epitaxial structures 110P correspond to the pads 120, and are electrically connected to the circuit substrate 50 through the pads 120, respectively. It should be noted that, after the epitaxial layer 110 is bonded to the circuit substrate 50, a portion of the epitaxial layer 110 is removed and a plurality of epitaxial structures 110P are formed, so that a super High resolution (UHD) micro light emitting device display device can be manufactured, and the light emitting efficiency of the formed epitaxial structures 110P is also better.
Next, a planarization layer 160 is formed between the epitaxial structures 110P, and the planarization layer 160 covers a portion of the surface 120s of the pad 120, the light-shielding pattern 130, and at least a portion of the peripheral surface 110Ps of the epitaxial structure 110P, as shown in fig. 1H. After the formation of the planarization layer 160, a conductive layer CE is formed on the planarization layer 160. The conductive layer CE is connected to the planarization layer 160 and extends to cover the plurality of epitaxial structures 110P to electrically connect the plurality of epitaxial structures 110P. In this way, the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is completed.
As shown in fig. 1H, the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 includes a circuit substrate 50, a plurality of epitaxial structures 110P, a plurality of pads 120, and a plurality of light shielding patterns 130. The epitaxial structures 110P are disposed on the circuit substrate 50 in a dispersed manner. The pads 120 are disposed between the epitaxial structures 110P and the circuit substrate 50. The epitaxial structures 110P are electrically connected to the circuit substrate 50 through the pads 120, respectively. The light-shielding patterns 130 and the pads 120 are alternately arranged on the circuit substrate 50, and each light-shielding pattern 130 may be connected between two adjacent pads 120.
In the present embodiment, the material of the pad 120 is generally a metal material for the sake of conductivity. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and according to other embodiments, the pads 120 may also be made of other conductive materials, such as: an alloy, a nitride of a metal material, an oxide of a metal material, an oxynitride of a metal material, or other suitable material, or a stacked layer of a metal material and other conductive materials. On the other hand, the conductive layer CE is, for example, a light transmissive electrode, and the material of the light transmissive electrode includes metal oxides, such as: indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, aluminum tin oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, or other suitable oxide, or a stack of at least two of the foregoing. That is, the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is a top emission (top emission) type display apparatus.
The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to other embodiments, wherein like components are denoted by like reference numerals, and descriptions of the same technical content are omitted, and reference is made to the foregoing embodiments for omitting details.
Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a micro light-emitting device display apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3, the main differences between the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 2 of the present embodiment and the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 1 of fig. 1H are: the configuration of the connecting pad is different. In the embodiment, the first sub-pad 121A and the second sub-pad 122 of the pad 120A respectively have a first length L1 and a second length L2 in the direction X, and the first length L1 is smaller than the second length L2. In detail, after the second sub-pads 122 are formed, a plurality of light-shielding patterns 130 may be further formed between the second sub-pads 122, and each light-shielding pattern 130 protrudes from two adjacent second sub-pads 122 in a direction away from the circuit substrate 50.
In the embodiment, the first length L1 of the first sub-pad 121A is smaller than the second length L2 of the second sub-pad 122, so that the process margin (e.g., the tolerance of alignment accuracy) when the epitaxial substrate 60 and the circuit substrate 50 (as shown in fig. 1D) are bonded can be increased. Further, another difference between the micro light emitting device display apparatus 2 of the present embodiment and the micro light emitting device display apparatus 1 of fig. 1H is that: the light-shielding pattern 130A is formed on the circuit substrate 50 before the epitaxial substrate 60 is bonded to the circuit substrate 50 (as shown in fig. 1D).
In the embodiment, the first height H1 between the surface 120s of the pad 120 and the circuit substrate 50 may be greater than the second height H2A between the surface 130s of the light shielding pattern 130A and the circuit substrate 50, and the surface 130s of the light shielding pattern 130A may substantially align with the connection surfaces 122s of the first sub-pad 121 and the second sub-pad 122, but the invention is not limited thereto. Accordingly, the process margin (e.g., the tolerance of the alignment accuracy) when the epitaxial substrate 60 is bonded to the circuit substrate 50 (as shown in fig. 1D) can be increased.
Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a micro light-emitting device display apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4, the difference between the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 3 of the present embodiment and the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 1 of fig. 1H is: the plurality of epitaxial structures 110P have different pitches. In the present embodiment, the epitaxial structures 110P have a bottom width W in the direction X, and a space S is formed between any two adjacent epitaxial structures 110P in the direction X, and the bottom width W is greater than the space S. That is, the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 3 of the present embodiment is a display apparatus with ultra-high resolution, and can be produced by the manufacturing flow shown in fig. 1A to 1H.
Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a micro light-emitting device display apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 5, the difference between the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 4 of the present embodiment and the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 3 of fig. 4 is: the two adjacent epitaxial structures 110P have different components. In the present embodiment, a reflective layer 161 and a light absorbing layer 162 stacked on the reflective layer 161 may be further formed between the epitaxial structures 110P of the micro light emitting device display apparatus 4. The reflective layer 161 covers at least a portion of the peripheral surface 110Ps of the epitaxial structure 110P. More specifically, the reflective layer 161 covers the first-type semiconductor layer 111, the light emitting layer 112, and at least a portion of the second-type semiconductor layer 113.
From another perspective, in the normal direction of the circuit substrate 50, the reflective layer 161 has a first thickness t1, the first type semiconductor layer 111 and the light emitting layer 112 have a second thickness t2, and the first thickness t1 is greater than the second thickness t2 and smaller than the height of the epitaxial structure 110P. Accordingly, light beams emitted from the light emitting layer 112 can be prevented from being emitted from the peripheral surface 110Ps of the epitaxial structure 110P, which is helpful for improving light extraction efficiency (light extraction efficiency) of the epitaxial structure 110P.
In this embodiment, the material of the reflective layer 161 may be a metal or a metal compound material with a reflectivity greater than 90%, such as aluminum, silver, or a bragg mirror, but not limited thereto. It should be understood that, since the reflective layer 161 of the present embodiment may be formed of a metal material, in order to avoid electrical short between the epitaxial structures 110P, the micro light emitting device display apparatus 4 may further include an insulating layer 115 disposed between the epitaxial structures 110P and the reflective layer 161, wherein the conductive layer CE penetrates the insulating layer 115 and is electrically connected to the second type semiconductor layer 113. On the other hand, the absorption layer 162 disposed above the reflection layer 161 can reduce the generation of light mixing between two light beams emitted from two adjacent epitaxial structures 110P. In other words, the image clarity of the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 4 can be improved.
Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a micro light-emitting device display apparatus according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 6, the difference between the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 5 of the present embodiment and the micro light-emitting device display apparatus 1 of fig. 1H is: the epitaxial structure has a different configuration. In the embodiment, the epitaxial structure 110PA has a first surface 110s1 and a second surface 110s2 opposite to each other, and the peripheral surface 110Ps is connected between the first surface 110s1 and the second surface 110s 2. The peripheral surface 110Ps includes a first portion 110Ps1 and a second portion 110Ps2, the first portion 110Ps1 connecting the second portion 110Ps2 and having an inflection point TP. It should be noted that the width of the epitaxial structure 110PA gradually increases from the first surface 110s1 to the turning point TP, and gradually decreases from the turning point TP to the second surface 110s 2. That is, the projection of the epitaxial structure 110PA on the XY plane in the present embodiment may have a diamond-like outer contour. Accordingly, the risk of film rupture or wire breakage of the conductive layer CE formed on the epitaxial structure 110PA and the planarization layer 160 in the post-process can be reduced.
In summary, in the micro light emitting device display apparatus and the method of manufacturing the same according to the embodiment of the invention, the circuit substrate can be prevented from being damaged in the process of removing the epitaxial substrate by the arrangement of the plurality of light shielding patterns. In addition, when the micro light-emitting device display device is enabled, the light-shielding patterns can also block light beams emitted from the epitaxial structure from entering the circuit substrate, which is helpful for improving the operation stability (operational stability) and reliability (reliability) of the driving circuit in long-time operation. On the other hand, after the epitaxial layer is bonded to the circuit substrate, a part of the epitaxial layer is removed and a plurality of epitaxial structures are formed, so that the manufacturing of the micro light-emitting element display device with better display quality can be realized, and the light-emitting efficiency of the formed epitaxial structures is also better.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
