Detailed Description
The present invention is further described with reference to the following drawings and examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The invention relates to a deep ultraviolet LED chip with a flip structure and a preparation method thereof, which can reduce the absorption of p-GaN to ultraviolet light, improve the light power, optimize the voltage and reduce the working voltage.
As shown in fig. 5 and 7, the flip-chip structure deep ultraviolet LED chip of the present invention includes an LED epitaxial wafer, and a p-electrode 101 and an n-electrode 102 disposed on the LED epitaxial wafer. The P-electrode 101 is disposed on the P-type semiconductor layer 207. The n-electrode 102 is disposed on the n-type semiconductor layer 204
As shown in fig. 1, the LED epitaxial wafer includes an n-type semiconductor layer 204, a light emitting layer 205, an electron blocking layer 206, and a p-type semiconductor layer 207, which are sequentially stacked.
Preferably, the LED epitaxial wafer includes a substrate 201, and an AlN nucleation layer 202, an AlGaN buffer layer 203, the n-type semiconductor layer 204, the light emitting layer 205, the electron blocking layer 206, and the p-type semiconductor layer 207 sequentially grown on the substrate 201.
The substrate 201 is preferably a sapphire substrate. The n-type semiconductor layer 204 is preferably an n-AlGaN layer doped with Si.
Unlike the prior art in which the p-type semiconductor layer 207 is made of a single material, in the present invention, the p-type semiconductor layer 207 has a double-layer structure. Specifically, the P-type semiconductor layer 207 is composed of a Mg-doped P-AlGaN layer and a Mg-doped P-GaN layer grown on the Mg-doped P-AlGaN layer.
Also, in the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the p-type semiconductor layer 207 has a p first structure surface 311, a p second structure surface 312, and a p third structure surface 313 which are not on the same horizontal plane.
Preferably, the p first structure surface 311 is a surface of the Mg doped p-GaN layer. The p second structure surface 312 and the p third structure surface 313 are both located in the Mg doped p-AlGaN layer.
Thus, by arranging the p-type semiconductor structure as a three-layer structure and all being Mg-doped p-type semiconductors, wherein the first structural layer retains the p-GaN layer, the electrode structure can be optimized; the second and third structural layers are etched to the Mg-doped p-AlGaN layer, so that the absorption of p-GaN to ultraviolet light can be reduced, and the light power is improved.
Further, in the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the p first structure surface 311, the p second structure surface 312, and the p third structure surface 313 are each provided with a tunnel junction 601 made of an n-type semiconductor material.
Preferably, the tunnel junction 601 is made of indium tin oxide, gallium oxide or doped n-AlGaN.
In the present invention, the shape of the tunnel junction 601 is not limited. For example, the tunnel junction 601 may have a rectangular parallelepiped shape. Alternatively, the tunnel junction 601 may be a cylinder.
Therefore, the tunneling junction is formed by adding the n-type semiconductor material on the surface of the optimized p-type semiconductor structure, so that the voltage can be optimized, and the working voltage of the light-emitting diode can be reduced.
As shown in fig. 7, the flip-chip structure deep ultraviolet LED chip further includes a p-pad electrode 105 connected to the p-electrode 101 and an n-pad electrode 106 connected to the n-electrode 102. It is convenient to connect an external power source through the p-pad electrode 105 and the n-pad electrode 106, thereby supplying power thereto so as to emit light.
In the present invention, it is preferable that the p-electrode 101, the n-electrode 102, the p-pad electrode 105, and the n-pad electrode 106 be formed of one or more of Cr, Ti, Ni, Al, Ag, Pt, Pd, Au, Rh, Al alloy, Ag alloy, Pt alloy, Pd alloy, Au alloy, and Rh alloy. Thus, the p-electrode 101, the n-electrode 102, the p-pad electrode 105, and the n-pad electrode 106 are more conductive.
The method for manufacturing the deep ultraviolet LED chip with the flip structure according to the present invention is described below, so that a person skilled in the art can manufacture the deep ultraviolet LED chip with the flip structure according to the description of the present invention.
The preparation method of the flip-chip structure deep ultraviolet LED chip comprises the following steps:
firstly, preparing an LED epitaxial wafer.
Similar to the prior art, in the preparation of the LED epitaxial wafer, it is necessary to provide a substrate 201 and sequentially grow an AlN nucleation layer 202, an AlGaN buffer layer 203, an n-type semiconductor layer 204, a light emitting layer 205, an electron blocking layer 206, and a p-type semiconductor layer 207 on the substrate 201.
Unlike the prior art, in the present invention, the p-type semiconductor layer 207 is composed of a Mg-doped p-AlGaN layer and a Mg-doped p-GaN layer grown on the Mg-doped p-AlGaN layer. Therefore, after the electron blocking layer 206 is grown, a Mg-doped p-AlGaN layer needs to be grown on the electron blocking layer 206, and then a Mg-doped p-GaN layer needs to be grown on the Mg-doped p-AlGaN layer, so as to finally form the LED epitaxial wafer shown in fig. 1.
And secondly, preparing an n-type semiconductor structure.
Before the n-type semiconductor structure is prepared, the prepared LED epitaxial wafer can be cleaned so as to remove impurities on the LED epitaxial wafer.
In the cleaning, cleaning may be performed using an inorganic solvent, an organic solvent (e.g., a sulfuric acid/hydrogen peroxide mixed solution, an isopropyl alcohol solution), or the like.
When the n-type semiconductor structure is prepared, a part of the LED epitaxial wafer can be etched from top to bottom by adopting methods such as dry etching and the like. As shown in fig. 2, during etching, the n-type semiconductor layer 204 needs to be etched, so as to obtain an n-type semiconductor structure.
If necessary, the etching may be performed only to the surface of the n-type semiconductor layer 204, or a part of the n-type semiconductor layer 204 may be etched away, and only a part of the thickness of the n-type semiconductor layer 204 may be left.
And thirdly, preparing the n electrode 102.
In the present invention, the n-electrode 102 may be obtained by depositing metal on the surface of the n-type semiconductor structure by a metal deposition method.
For example, TiAl may be deposited on the surface of the n-type semiconductor structure using a metal evaporator to form the n-electrode 102 as shown in FIG. 2.
And fourthly, preparing the p-type semiconductor structure.
When the p-type semiconductor structure is prepared, the part, which is not etched, of the LED epitaxial wafer can be etched downwards by adopting methods such as dry etching and the like, so that the p-type semiconductor structure is obtained.
As shown in fig. 3-5, in the present invention, the p-type semiconductor structure includes p first structure surface 311, p second structure surface 312, and p third structure surface 313 that are not on the same horizontal plane.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, when the p-type semiconductor structure is prepared, a first etching may be performed from the surface of a portion of the Mg-doped p-GaN layer down to etch away a portion of the Mg-doped p-AlGaN layer, so as to obtain the p third structure surface 313. And then, performing second etching from the surface of the partially unetched Mg-doped p-GaN layer downwards until part of the Mg-doped p-AlGaN layer is etched, and enabling the depth of the second etching to be smaller than that of the first etching, so as to obtain the p second structure surface 312. The surface of the Mg-doped p-GaN layer that is not subjected to etching processing is the p first structure surface 311.
In the invention, the p-type semiconductor structure is optimized, the p-type semiconductor structure is set to be a three-layer structure and is a Mg-doped p-type semiconductor, and the first structure layer keeps a p-GaN layer, so that the electrode structure is optimized; the second and third structural layers are etched to the Mg-doped p-AlGaN layer, so that the absorption of p-GaN to ultraviolet light is reduced, and the light power is improved.
And fifthly, preparing a tunneling junction structure.
In the invention, a tunneling junction structure can be etched on the P-type semiconductor structure. That is, tunnel junction structures are etched on the p first structure surface 311, the p second structure surface 312, and the p third structure surface 313. For example, a tunnel junction structure may be obtained on the P-type semiconductor structure by a dry etching method.
And sixthly, preparing a tunneling junction.
In the invention, an n-type semiconductor material can be evaporated on the tunnel junction structure to obtain the tunnel junction 601. Wherein, the n-type semiconductor material can be indium tin oxide, gallium oxide or doped n-AlGaN and the like.
By adding the n-type semiconductor material on the surface of the optimized p-type semiconductor structure to form a tunneling junction, the voltage can be optimized, and therefore the working voltage of the light-emitting diode can be reduced.
And seventhly, preparing the p electrode 101.
In the preparation of the p-electrode 101, the p-electrode 101 may be obtained by depositing a metal on the surface of the p-type semiconductor structure. For example, a metal evaporator may be used to evaporate metal NiAu on the surface of the p-type semiconductor structure, thereby forming the p-electrode 101.
In addition, the preparation method of the flip-chip structure deep ultraviolet LED chip can further comprise the following steps:
eighthly, depositing a passivation layer 208.
That is, after the p-electrode 101 is prepared, a passivation layer 208 is deposited as a whole. The passivation layer 208 may be a silicon oxide layer or the like. By depositing the passivation layer 208, the leakage caused by the contact between the p-semiconductor layer and the n-semiconductor layer can be avoided.
And ninthly, preparing a p electrode through hole 103 and an n electrode through hole 104.
As shown in fig. 6, a p-electrode via 103 and an n-electrode via 104, which are in contact with the pad electrode, may be etched on the surface of the passivation layer 208 by using a dry etching method. Wherein, the lower surfaces of the p-electrode through hole 103 and the n-electrode through hole 104 are the upper surfaces of the p-electrode 101 and the n-electrode 102, respectively.
And ten, preparing the p pad electrode 105 and the n pad electrode 106.
