In the second embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting wavelength of the led is not more than 350 nm, platinum and ruthenium are particularly suitable for uv leds, particularly deep uv leds, which have an oxidation promoting effect on aluminum or silver used as a conventional reflective electrode and a light absorbing effect on ITO material used as a conventional electrode as a contact layer, and ITO and Al have poor adhesion, low high current operation function, and increased aging characteristic voltage.
In a third embodiment of the present invention, which differs from embodiment 1 mainly in that the chip size of the provided light emitting diode is not more than 250 micrometers by 250 micrometers, for example, the light emitting diode has a length from 2 micrometers to 100 micrometers or from 100 micrometers to 250 micrometers, and/or the light emitting diode has a width from 2 micrometers to 100 micrometers or from 100 micrometers to 250 micrometers, the design of the present reflective layer is suitable for a size where the reflection loss of small-sized electrodes such as mini-led or micro-led is negligible, and the same applies to flip-chip light emitting diodes.
Referring to fig. 3, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the difference from the above-mentioned embodiments is that the side of the second reflective layer 220 away from the pad layer 300 is at least covered with an insulating protection layer 600, the material of the insulating protection layer 600 includes silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, titanium oxide or titanium nitride, and the second reflective layer 220 has better adhesion to the material of the insulating protection layer 600 than the pad layer 300.
Referring to fig. 4, in a fifth embodiment of the present invention, the difference from the above embodiments is that a contact layer 100 is provided between an epitaxial light emitting layer 400 and a first reflective layer 210, the first reflective layer 210 at least partially covers the contact layer 100, and the material of the contact layer 100 includes chromium or an alloy of chromium and a transition metal, for example, an alloy can be made of chromium and platinum, and the alloy can be made by co-plating or annealing.
Referring to fig. 5a and 5b, it is noted that in the conventional process, a yellow light process is usually adopted when fabricating an electrode, and it is not desirable that the opening of the photoresist 700 in the yellow light process is too large to result in unnecessary increase of the electrode, and brightness loss caused by light absorption of the electrode is enlarged, in which the arrow indicates a metal plating direction, when fabricating an electrode by metal plating on a photoresist with a small opening, it is difficult to reserve a space for complete coating of a metal diffusion barrier layer (i.e., the second reflective layer in fig. 6 a), and the existing metal film layer 800 covers the photoresist 700 more smoothly.
Referring to fig. 5c and 5d, in this embodiment, the second reflective layer 220 in fig. 6b is made of rhodium, platinum, or ruthenium or other materials with Young's modulus (Young's modulus) and bulk modulus (bulk modulus) close to or higher than that of ruthenium, for example, a material with Young's modulus greater than 150Gpa and bulk modulus greater than 200Gpa, and more preferably, Young's modulus greater than 300Gpa, such as rhodium and ruthenium, in the process of plating, the metal film plated on the surface of the photoresist 700 has stronger stress to expand the opening of the photoresist 700, so as to obtain more space to fabricate and cover the second reflective layer 220 outside the pad layer 300, thereby improving the anti-migration capability of the electrode, and considering the smaller initial opening, and the size of the electrode is controllable. Preferably, the thickness of the second reflective layer 220 is not less than 200 angstroms, and a certain thickness is favorable for improving the stress characteristic, and similarly, the first reflective layer 210 may also be made of the material under the above-mentioned high stress condition, which is favorable for forming the electrode sidewall with a large angle.
Comparing fig. 6a and fig. 6b, the conventional electrode process is obviously different from the electrode structure manufactured in this embodiment, so the conventional process usually utilizes a bevel electrode with a small angle, for example, a design with an angle of 45 ° to 60 ° to overcome the above problem, and the small angle electrode structure increases the resistance of the electrode and reduces the heat dissipation capability of the electrode due to the large change of the electrode cross-sectional area. In this embodiment, the contact layer 100 is fabricated by first fabricating the photoresist 700 with a small opening and a large angle, and then fabricating the metal migration resistant layer by fabricating a metal with high stress and low migration, for example, the metal ruthenium is coated on the surface of the contact layer 100 not in contact with the epitaxial light emitting layer 400, because the metal ruthenium is also coated on the photoresist 700, the edge of the opening of the photoresist is tilted by the stress of the metal ruthenium film layer, thereby enlarging the opening area, therefore, the electrode of this embodiment can be fabricated into a structure with a large angle, reducing the working voltage, and improving the heat dissipation capability of the light emitting diode, the design also requires that the metal film layer with large stress has sufficient thickness, for example, the thickness of the first reflective layer is not less than 500 angstroms, and the thickness of the second reflective layer is not less than 200 angstroms.
Referring to fig. 6b, in the sixth embodiment of the present invention, since the stress condition of the first and second reflective layers 210 and 220 is excellent, the distance between the first and second reflective layers may be set to be 200 to 250 angstroms, or 250 angstroms or more, where the distance refers to a minimum distance, or refers to a distance between the first and second reflective layers on the surface of the epitaxial light emitting layer. Has better contact metal migration prevention characteristics, such as metal migration prevention of the contact layer 100. The thickness of the first reflective layer 210 is not less than 500 angstroms, and the thickness of the second reflective layer 220 is not less than 200 angstroms. According to experimental tests, after being sieved at 480 ℃ for 1 hour, the light-emitting diode of the embodiment has no obvious metal precipitation. In the saline test, the led of this example had no abnormality for 240 hours.
Referring to fig. 7, in a seventh embodiment of the present invention, chromium is used as a material of the contact layer 100, wherein the thickness of chromium is 25 to 50 angstroms, platinum is covered on chromium, the thickness of platinum may be more than 800 angstroms, an alloy of platinum and chromium may also be used as the contact layer 100 and the first reflective layer 210, platinum is used as a material of the first reflective layer 210, the growth stress of platinum is large, and the situation of lift-up and electrode detachment easily occurs, so a stress adjustment layer 900 is fabricated on platinum, the film forming stress direction of the stress adjustment layer 900 is opposite to that of the first reflective layer 210, in this embodiment, the material of the stress adjustment layer 900 is ruthenium or rhodium, taking ruthenium as an example, for stress matching, the thickness of the stress adjustment layer 900 is 65% to 75% of the thickness of the first reflective layer 210, wherein the stress of platinum pulling downward and the film stress of ruthenium pulling upward are matched, and the stress adjustment layer 900 is also compatible with the light-out effect, the light reflectivity of more than 45% in the wave band from 250 nanometers to 850 nanometers has the advantages of enhancing the design of the product and reducing the risk of electrode dropping of the product.
In some implementations of this embodiment, the first reflective layer 210 can include a periodic stack of a reflective material and a stress adjusting material having a film stress direction opposite to that of the reflective material, for example, the first reflective layer 210 is a multi-period stack of a stress adjusting material titanium and a reflective material platinum.
In an eighth embodiment of the present invention, in addition to embodiment 7, a material having a mohs hardness of not less than 6, such as ruthenium or rhodium, is used as the second reflective layer 220, and the stress adjustment layer 900 having a mohs hardness of not less than 6 is combined, and meanwhile, the thickness of the stress adjustment layer 900 is not less than 500 angstroms, and the thickness of the second reflective layer 220 is not less than 200 angstroms, so that the shape of the pad layer 300 is stably fixed from both sides, and the ability of resisting electrode crush is provided.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
