Description

Manufacturing method of light-emitting chip
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor chip technology, and in particular, to a method for manufacturing a light emitting chip.

The LED is used as a new illumination light source in the 21 st century, the power consumption of the semiconductor lamp is only 1/10 of that of a common incandescent lamp under the same brightness, and the service life of the semiconductor lamp can be prolonged by 100 times. The LED device is a cold light source, has high light efficiency, low working voltage, small power consumption and small volume, can be packaged in a plane, is easy to develop a light and thin product, has firm structure and long service life, does not contain harmful substances such as mercury, lead and the like, does not pollute infrared and ultraviolet, and can not pollute the outside in production and use. Therefore, the semiconductor lamp has the characteristics of energy saving, environmental protection, long service life and the like, and is a trend to replace the traditional incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp like a transistor replaces an electron tube. LEDs have great potential as new illumination sources to replace conventional illumination sources, both from the point of view of saving electrical energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and from the point of view of reducing environmental pollution.
With the rapid development of AlGaInP (AlGaInP) quaternary materials, the AlGaInP quaternary materials can be used for manufacturing high-power high-brightness red light and yellow light LEDs.

However, the external quantum efficiency of the conventional AlGaInP-LED is extremely low due to limitations of the material itself and the substrate. The AlGaInP material system has large refractive index, so that the light-emitting angle is small, and most of light is totally reflected; and the GaAs substrate is a light absorption material, so that the light quantity of the active layer radiated towards the substrate is absorbed by the GaAs substrate in a large quantity, and the light emitting efficiency is poor.

All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.
The reverse polarity AlGaInP quaternary LED chip is widely applied to the field of high-power red LED display screens, the reverse polarity is that the substrate is replaced, the GaAs substrate with larger light absorption is replaced by a monocrystalline conductive silicon substrate or a sapphire substrate, and the like, so that the light efficiency can be improved by more than 20%, but the N pole (light emitting surface) of the chip finished by the process is arranged on the upper surface, the P electrode is arranged below, and the chip is quite different from the traditional red chip, and when the red chip and the blue-green chip are used together, the phenomenon of increased difficulty in circuit management can occur.
AlGaInP quaternary materials are used for growing high-brightness red-yellow LEDs, and the internal quantum efficiency is high, but two key problems exist to limit the light extraction efficiency: 1. the refractive index of the material system is large (> 3.2), so that the light-emitting angle is small, and most of light is totally reflected; 2. the GaAs substrate absorbs red Huang Boduan light. To solve these two problems, the conventional approach is to use a technique of top surface roughening and an omni-directional mirror instead of the GaAs substrate.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a conventional reverse polarity chip, in which the structure of the reverse polarity chip is as follows: a P electrode 9, a transfer substrate 1, a metal bonding layer 2, a metal mirror layer 3, a dielectric layer 4, a P-type layer 5, an active layer 6, an N-type layer 7 and an N electrode 8.
In the traditional reverse polarity chip structure, the N-face emits light, and the P-face reflecting mirror adopts a surface roughening and P-face omnibearing reflecting mirror mode. Because the N surface needs to be roughened or a current expansion layer, the thickness of the N layer is thick, the growth time is long, the probability of epitaxial defect caused by falling of top cover impurities at the stage is increased, the number of failed core particles is increased by growing an active 6 layer and a P-type layer 5 on the basis, and the chip failure phenomenon caused by the problem is more remarkable along with the reduction of the chip size; meanwhile, the N-type layer 7 is doped with Si, the forbidden bandwidth of Si is only 1.12eV, the light absorption is easy, and the degree of Si light absorption is increased due to the thicker N layer.
In view of this, the invention provides a method for manufacturing a light emitting chip, which adopts a secondary transfer technology, can realize light emitting of the P surface and improves the extraction efficiency of light; meanwhile, a dielectric layer is added between the first ohmic contact layer and the metal mirror layer, and dielectric holes with specific sizes and quantity are manufactured on the dielectric by using a photoetching process, so that the first ohmic contact layer and the metal mirror layer in the dielectric holes form ohmic contact, voltage stability is ensured, a chip process window is increased, and the semiconductor, the dielectric layer and the metal mirror layer form an omnibearing reflecting mirror structure, so that the reflectivity is greatly improved.

As can be seen from the above description, in the method for manufacturing a light emitting chip provided by the technical scheme of the present invention, the secondary transfer technology is adopted, so that the light emitting of the P-surface can be realized, and the light extraction efficiency is improved; meanwhile, a dielectric layer is added between the first ohmic contact layer and the metal mirror surface layer, and dielectric holes with specific sizes and quantity are manufactured on the dielectric layer by using a photoetching process, so that the first ohmic contact layer and the metal mirror surface layer in the dielectric holes form ohmic contact, voltage stability is ensured, a chip process window is increased, and the semiconductor, the dielectric layer and the metal mirror surface layer form an omnibearing reflecting mirror structure, so that the reflectivity is greatly improved.
The scheme also has the following advantages:
1. the P surface emits light, and the coarsening process and the current expansion layer are performed on the P surface, so that the thickness of the N-type functional layer can be reduced to about 30% of the previous thickness, the growth time is greatly shortened, and the probability of particle defects in the growth process of the N-type functional layer is reduced.
2. The dielectric layer and the metal mirror surface layer form an omnibearing reflecting mirror structure, the reflectivity is greatly improved, meanwhile, the key metal layer in the dielectric hole is contacted with the first ohmic contact layer, the voltage stability can be ensured, and the chip process window is increased.
3. Since particle defects appear on the surface P-type functional layer after epitaxial growth, the defects are usually falling onto the epitaxial layer from the top cover in the epitaxial growth or in the post-growth cooling stage, P-surface metal bonding is adopted in the conventional process, high temperature and high pressure are adopted in the bonding, and the epitaxial layer is broken by particles attached to the P-surface in the process, so that the local or large-area epitaxial layer falls off, and the yield loss is serious. The technology of transferring and adding N-face metal bonding by using the P-face nonmetal bonding mode replaces conventional P-face bonding, and damage to an epitaxial layer is avoided.
4. GaP refractive index of about 3.34, al for light in 620nm band x Ga 1-x InP (x is usually 0.2-0.4) with refractive index of about 3.4-3.5, and due to low GaP refractive index, the total reflection angle can be increased by adopting P surface light extraction, and the light extraction efficiency can be improved.
