Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to direct growth of graphene and a method for improving the performance of a gallium nitride-based LED device by using the graphene directly grown on gallium nitride as a transparent conducting and heat dissipating layer.
Background
Gallium nitride (GaN), which is a representative nitride semiconductor material, has attracted considerable attention as an important material for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of electronic devices, but it is difficult to form an ohmic contact electrode on p-GaN, and therefore, in order to effectively spread current and reduce a forward operating voltage without affecting front light emission, a transparent conductive layer needs to be added on p-GaN. Currently, in optoelectronic devices, the mainstream transparent electrode material is Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). However, the content of indium element in earth crust is very limited, and the cost is very high. Since 2004, graphene shows great application potential in the fields of nanoelectronics, energy, chemistry, biomedicine and the like due to its excellent properties such as high transparency, high conductivity, high mobility, high thermal conductivity, high mechanical strength and the like, and the transparency of graphene is reduced by only 2.3% from ultraviolet to near infrared, theoretically every layer is added. Therefore, graphene is likely to be a substitute for ITO.
The conventional process is to transfer the graphene grown on the metal substrate to a new substrate by a wet process, which is complex and tedious and often results in non-ideal interfaces between the graphene and the gallium nitride, such as metal residues, oxides, pores and wrinkles. At present, few people study the growth of graphene on platinum. While platinum has a greater catalytic ability for hydrocarbon decomposition and subsequent graphene formation than copper. In addition, platinum has a particularly large work function and is one of the best known metals in contact with gallium nitride, and therefore we use ultra-thin layers of platinum as a catalyst for the direct growth of graphene on GaN/sapphire substrates. The method avoids a series of problems in the transfer process, and has the advantages of higher repeatability and simpler process. Because the thickness of Pt is extremely thin, evaporation and agglomeration occur in the growth process, and the light emitting of the LED cannot be influenced. Meanwhile, the growth environment of plasma auxiliary enhancement and cold wall vertical chemical vapor deposition is utilized, so that the growth temperature is reduced, the interface of the nitrogenized graphene is protected, the growth is accelerated, the growth efficiency is improved, and the growth cost is reduced. In addition, by measuring the electrical, optical and thermal properties, we also find that the addition of the graphene not only improves the LED luminous current and reduces the starting voltage and luminous power consumption, but also has obvious advantages in heat dissipation, and has wide prospects in improvement of the reliability and durability of devices and prolonging of service life.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention has the effect of providing a method for improving the performance of a gallium nitride-based LED device by directly growing graphene on gallium nitride as a transparent conductive and heat dissipation layer.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is a method for improving the transparent electric conduction and the heat dissipation of an LED by growing graphene on gallium nitride, the implementation process of the method is as follows,
step 1: taking an epitaxial structure diagram 1, wherein the epitaxial structure of the gallium nitride light-emitting diode chip comprises a sapphire substrate (1), a u-shaped gallium nitride layer (2), an n-shaped gallium nitride layer (3), an active layer (4) and a p-shaped gallium nitride layer (5), boiling and cleaning with acetone twice to remove organic impurities on the surface of the epitaxial structure of the gallium nitride light-emitting diode chip, boiling and cleaning with ethanol twice to remove acetone on the surface, washing with deionized water for 30 times to remove ethanol on the surface, and drying the surface of the epitaxial structure of the gallium nitride light-emitting diode chip with a nitrogen gun;
step 2: a thin layer of 2nm platinum (6) is sputtered on p-type gallium nitride (5) of a gallium nitride light-emitting diode chip epitaxial structure to serve as a catalyst, and graphene (7) of a transparent conducting layer directly grows.
And step 3: depositing a layer of metal film on the surface of the substrate on which the graphene grows, and corroding the metal film to form a pattern by utilizing a photoetching process. And finally, using the patterned metal film as a mask, carrying out dry etching on the substrate, and sequentially etching away the graphene (7), the platinum (6), the p-type gallium nitride (5) and the active layer (4) without the metal mask region, thereby finally exposing the n-type gallium nitride layer. The material of the metal mask region is common metal mask materials such as nickel, cobalt or nickel-copper alloy;
and 4, step 4: after the metal mask layer is corroded by a wet etching process, a p electrode and an n electrode are prepared on the surface of the substrate by utilizing the traditional photoetching-electrode deposition-stripping semiconductor process. The method for depositing the electrode is electron beam evaporation or magnetron sputtering. The p electrode and the n electrode are made of titanium gold electrodes or other common electrodes such as nickel gold and cadmium gold.
In step 2 of the present invention, the graphene growth system used was a cold wall vertical CVD model BLACK MAGIC manufactured by AIXTRON, as shown in fig. 4. The equipment mainly comprises an equipment main body, a vacuum pump set and a water cooling machine. Different from the traditional hot wall tube type CVD, the CVD is heated by an electric heating wire, the heating area is large, the heating and cooling time is long, and the energy consumption is high. Only the middle heating plate part (11) of the system is used for effective heating, the two stainless steel supporting columns are respectively a second supporting column (14) and a third supporting column (15), electricity is conducted between the second supporting column (14) and the third supporting column (15), and a sample is heated through joule heat. In the process, the cavity of the reaction chamber is cold, and the temperature of circulating water in the cavity is controlled to be maintained at 25 ℃ by a water cooling machine. The growth temperature can be reduced by the aid of the enhanced graphite plasma sheet (12) in the cavity, and the special growth mechanism of the device has the advantages of high temperature rising and cooling speed, high graphene growth speed and low energy consumption. The process manufacturing method has the characteristics of low temperature, short time, simple manufacturing method and the like. The temperature for growing the graphene on the metal platinum alone is generally over 1000 ℃, and the condition is only suitable for the graphene transfer process. High temperature easily causes interface damage to the light emission of the gallium nitride-based diode to a certain degree, and causes the problems of uneven light emission, poor brightness, poor conductivity and the like. The problems of graphene wrinkles, holes, ion residues and the like are easily caused in the transfer process, and the transfer method is multiple in steps and difficult to operate. In order to solve the problems, 2nm platinum is sputtered on a gallium nitride substrate to directly grow graphene to manufacture a device. The characteristic of the local heating of the cold wall vertical CVD is utilized to realize rapid temperature rise and fall and shorten the growth time. The direct current is utilized to start through the plasma graphite sheet to generate a plasma electric field with certain power, the auxiliary heating system provides energy for the decomposition of gas, the graphene is synthesized, and the graphene can be synthesized only by growing at the temperature of 600 ℃ for 20 minutes. The light emitting diode added with the graphene not only makes up the problem that the conductivity of the device is poor in the annealing process during growth, as shown in fig. 5, compared with the device without the graphene, the current is doubled under the same voltage, the voltage is turned on, the working voltage is lower, the heat dissipation is faster under the same working current, and the heat diffusion is more uniform.
