Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The high-voltage LED chip is formed by dividing a prepared epitaxial layer into a plurality of independent core particles which are connected in series through deep etching grooves, and can achieve higher power under the drive of small current.
High-voltage products with different driving voltages can be prepared according to the number of connected core particle units, for example, 2, 3 or 6 core particles are connected in series, and the voltage can reach about 6V/9V/18V respectively.
That is to say, in the manufacturing process of the high-voltage LED chip, the epitaxial GaN layer between the adjacent core particle units needs to be etched cleanly through a deep etching process until reaching the substrate, the etching depth of the epitaxial layer is generally 5um-7um, an insulating layer needs to be deposited above the groove, and metal electrodes are evaporated on the surface of the insulating layer to bridge and connect the adjacent core particle units in series.
In order to completely cover the electrodes at the groove bridging part, the bevel angle of the isolation groove needs to be reasonably set, and when the bevel angle of the isolation groove is too large, the electrode coverage is poor, cracks and even faults are easily generated, and therefore the high-voltage LED chip fails.
However, in order to ensure the reliability of the high-voltage LED chip, the bevel edge of the isolation trench needs to be large enough, and then the GaN area needs to be etched more, which results in a smaller light-emitting area of the high-voltage LED chip, and further reduces the light-emitting efficiency of the high-voltage LED chip.
In addition, at present, the scribe lines of the high-voltage LED chip are not etched deeply, so that a test core particle needs to be manufactured during the COW test, and the core particle needs to be etched away from other core particles and has a smaller size than other core particles, so that when a final product is formed after the test is finished, the test core particle cannot be taken off line as a product, but is discarded as a waste product, thereby losing the yield of the chip.
In the prior art, some technical means are deep etching by adopting a hard mask mode, although the light emitting area of the high-voltage LED chip can be effectively improved, the manufacturing process is complex, and the hard mask is deposited on the epitaxial layer for a long time, so that the damage of a P-type GaN layer can be aggravated, the reliability of the high-voltage LED chip is reduced, and the problem of voltage increase can be caused.
Based on the above, the embodiment of the invention provides a deep etching method for a high-voltage LED chip, which comprises the steps of performing operations such as twice photoresist evening, twice exposure, twice development and the like, namely, performing uniform positive photoresist-soft baking, exposure-development-hardening-uniform negative photoresist-exposure-postbaking, development-deep etching, performing deep etching treatment on a bridge joint and a cutting street of the high-voltage LED chip by using the positive photoresist with the preset angle inclined plane as a mask, and performing deep etching treatment on a non-bridge joint of the high-voltage LED chip by using the negative photoresist with a vertical plane as a mask. The method has the advantages that the isolation grooves with different angles and different line widths are etched in a deep mode at one time, full-etching processing is achieved under the condition that the width of a cutting channel is not changed, and a certain chamfer is formed, so that the ratio of the luminous area of a high-voltage LED chip is effectively increased, the light emitting efficiency of the chip is increased, and the COW is not required to be provided with a special test chip.
