Description

Fluid assembled micron-scale device module and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention particularly relates to a micron-sized device module assembled by fluid and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of semiconductors.
Background
The Micro-LED technology is a technology for miniaturizing and arraying Light Emitting Diode (LED) chips, and refers to integrating a high-density Micro-sized LED array on one chip. The Micro-LED display technology is characterized in that a Micro-LED is used as a light emitting unit, a Micro-LED array is manufactured through a massive transfer and/or bonding technology and is integrated with a driving circuit, and the Micro-LED array is independently addressed and lightened, so that single-color or blue, green and Red (RGB) light emitting is realized, and a high-resolution display screen is formed. Compared with other display technologies, the Micro-LED display technology has obvious advantages, and firstly, theoretically, the power consumption of an LED is very low, about 50% of that of an OLED (organic light emitting diode) and 10% of that of an LCD (liquid crystal display); furthermore, the resolution of the Micro-LED can exceed 1500PPI, and the brightness is extremely high and is 30 times higher than that of the OLED; the Micro-LED also has the advantages of high response speed, long service life, high contrast, high color saturation, wide visual angle, no need of a backlight source, self-luminescence and the like, and is considered as a next generation novel display technology after an LCD and an OLED due to the unique excellent performance of the Micro-LED.
However, the Micro-LED needs to be manufactured in mass production, and some technical bottlenecks need to be overcome, wherein the key technical difficulties are that the yield and efficiency of mass transfer are not high, and the production cost of the Micro-LED is far higher than that of its competitors LCD and OLED.
The major routes of mass transfer at present are divided into precision capture, self-assembly, selective release and transfer techniques. The precision gripping technique is classified into electrostatic force, electromagnetic force, and van der waals force according to a medium used in transfer. There is fluidic self-assembly in the self-assembly route. Representative techniques for selective release are laser assisted selective release.
The key technical indexes of mass transfer are yield and transfer speed, accurate capture technology using electrostatic force or electromagnetic force as a medium and laser-assisted selective release can realize accurate capture, and the method has the advantages of high fineness and support of real-time detection and repair, but the transfer speed is relatively low, the accurate capture technology using van der Waals force as a medium and the transfer technology are suitable for large-area transfer of Micro-LEDs, and the production speed is high but is not favorable for subsequent detection and repair. In addition, the relative position relationship of the array devices transferred at a time on the wafer in the massive transfer process is not changed, and because the uniformity and yield of the wafer are problems, a plurality of devices needing to be detected and repaired exist, and the transfer speed is limited.
For example, CN107833525A discloses a fluidic self-assembly process, which is a very potential technology because the total time required for switching a large number of chips is greatly reduced, and the chips are mixed and assembled in the row and column positions on the substrate after being disturbed, so that the bad chips can be tested and removed before mixing, and the repair cost is greatly reduced. In order to further reduce the cost of the micro-LED display to make it competitive with other displays, it is generally considered that the active region of the micro-LED needs to have a diameter or side length of 3-5 microns, so as to fabricate more micro-LED unit devices on a single chip epitaxy. The fluid assembly technique disclosed in CN107833525A is to arrange the two electrodes of the chip on the same side, and since the electrodes themselves need to have a certain size and a certain distance is left between the two electrodes to avoid short circuit, the diameter of the unit chip is still above 15 micrometers and below 5 micrometers. In addition, the chip in the fluid self-assembly usually adopts the substrate stripping process, only remains the epitaxial layer with the typical value of thickness of 3-6 microns, if the diameter of the functional chip is close to the thickness of the functional chip, the functional chip can roll over too easily, the chance of embedding the functional chip into the well on the substrate through the protrusion can be greatly reduced, and the assembly is not facilitated.
