The mixed bonding technology is expected to solve the problem that the huge transfer difficulty of the MicroLED is high, but the scheme in the prior art can only be used for manufacturing a MicroLED display panel with monochrome display.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, in a method for manufacturing a micro led display panel, an epitaxial wafer and a driving panel are used as raw materials, the epitaxial wafer sequentially comprises, from bottom to top, a first substrate 11, an N layer 2, a first mqw layer 311 and a first P layer 41, and the epitaxial wafer with such a structure can be directly purchased from the market. The driving panel includes a second substrate 12 and driving electrodes 63 embedded in the second substrate 12, and is obtained by photo-etching the substrate, depositing metal, and then CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) according to the designed pixel distribution.
The method comprises the following steps:
s1: the first barrier layer 51 is provided to partition the first multi-quantum well layer 311 into a plurality of first multi-quantum wells 31.
S2: an anode is provided in the first barrier layer 51, the anode including a first anode 61 in contact with the first P layer 41, and a second anode 62 in contact with the N layer 2.
S3: the epitaxial wafer and the driving panel are bonded to bond the driving electrode 63 and the anode, thereby forming a double-layered wafer.
S4: the first substrate 11 is removed until the N layer 2 is exposed.
S5: a plurality of second multiple quantum wells 32 having the second P layer 42 on the top surface are provided on the N layer 2, and the second multiple quantum wells 32 are located at the outer periphery of the second anode 62.
S6: an extension electrode 64 is provided in contact with the second P layer 42 and the second anode 62 and isolated from the second multiple quantum well 32.
In the prepared micro LED display panel, the first multiple quantum well 31 and the second multiple quantum well 32 share the same N layer as a cathode, the first multiple quantum well 31 is conducted with a driving electrode 63 through a first P layer 41 and a first anode 61 in sequence, the second multiple quantum well 32 is conducted with the driving electrode 63 through a second P layer 42, an extension electrode 64 and a second anode 62 in sequence, and both the first multiple quantum well 31 and the second multiple quantum well 32 can be actively driven.
The first P layer 41 and the second P layer 42 are made of P-type gallium nitride, the N layer 2 is made of N-type gallium nitride, the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 are made of silicon substrates, the bonding capability of silicon and gallium nitride is poor, and the buffer layer 13 is arranged between the silicon and the gallium nitride. When the first multiple quantum well 31 and the second multiple quantum well 32 are electrified, light with different colors is emitted respectively, and the micro LED display panel can display in colors. Those skilled in the art understand that the temperature required to epitaxially grow the N layer is much higher than the temperature required to epitaxially grow the P layer; the currently popular MQW (multiple quantum well) is made of an InGaN/GaN structure (indium gallium nitride/gallium nitride), the forbidden bandwidth is adjusted by changing the content of In (indium), so the temperature required for epitaxially generating N-type gallium nitride is higher than that required for epitaxially generating MQW, after bonding, the first substrate 11 is removed until the N layer 2 is exposed, and the second multiple quantum well 32 and the second P layer 42 are epitaxially generated on the N layer 2 (In the application, "upper" refers to the upper part or the upper surface of some object, and the operation of inverting a wafer exists In the manufacturing step, and the orientation description is based on the figure), so that the N layer does not need to be generated, the energy consumption is reduced, and the damage to the first multiple quantum well 31, the anode and the driving electrode 63 caused by high temperature is avoided.
Referring to fig. 1, in detail, step S1 includes the steps of:
s11: the first mqw layer 311 is patterned to partition the first mqw layer 311 into a plurality of first mqw 31. More specifically, the first photoresist is provided to protect the position where first multiple quantum well 31 is to be formed, the epitaxial wafer is etched to N layer 2, and then the first photoresist is removed. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that patterned etching refers to a series of operations of photo-etching-resist removal to etch trenches or holes in the wafer.
S12: a first barrier layer 51 is grown on the epitaxial wafer covering the epitaxial wafer. The specific operation is to deposit a layer of silicon oxide on the epitaxial wafer using CVD (chemical vapor deposition) techniques or thermal growth techniques.
Referring to fig. 1, in detail, step S2 includes the steps of:
s21: the patterned etching of the first barrier layer 51 forms anode trenches comprising a first anode trench 54 etched to the first P layer 41 and a second anode trench 55 etched to the N layer 2. And setting a second photoresist for protecting the position without generating the anode groove and etching, wherein the position of the anode groove is determined according to the pixel distribution of the designed MicroLED display panel.
S22: and generating anode metal covering the epitaxial wafer on the epitaxial wafer. This step S22 is not shown in fig. 1, and the state after depositing the anode metal can refer to the shape of the extension metal 641 at S63 in fig. 4.
S23: the anodic metal is ground until the first barrier layer 51 is exposed to leave the first anode 61 in the first anode groove 54 and the second anode 62 in the second anode groove 55. The grinding method is CMP, and the first anodes 61 and the second anodes 62 are ground until they are not connected to each other.
Referring to fig. 2, the bonding method may be thermal fusion bonding, such that the first anode 61 is bonded to the driving electrode 63, and the second anode 62 is bonded to the driving electrode 63. The process of removing the first substrate 11 together with the buffer layer 13 may be CMP. Note that the double layer wafer is inverted after the first substrate 11 is removed in the drawings of the specification.
Referring to fig. 3, in particular, step S5 includes the steps of:
s51: the second multiple quantum well layer 321 is generated on the N layer 2. Specifically, the MQW of the InGaN/GaN structure is generated, step S51 is not drawn in fig. 5, and the second P layer 42 can be omitted with reference to S52 in fig. 3.
S52: the second P layer 42 is grown on the second multiple quantum well layer 321.
S53: the bi-layer wafer is patterned to expose the top of the second anode 62 and expose the N layer 2 above the first multi-quantum well 31 to partition the second multi-quantum well layer 321 into a plurality of second multi-quantum wells 32. The gallium nitride on the second anode 62 is completely etched to expose the second anode 62. The second multi-quantum well layer 321 on the first multi-quantum well 31 is isolated to enable the second multi-quantum well layer 321 on two sides of the first multi-quantum well 31 to be separated into two sub-pixels, and light emission of the first multi-quantum well 31 is facilitated; meanwhile, the N layer 2 on the first multiple quantum well 31 is reserved to ensure that the first multiple quantum well 31 and the second multiple quantum well 32 share the cathode, so that etching needs to be performed at different depths, which is achieved in the following four ways.
First, the N layer 2 is first photo-etched over the first anode 61, and then the second anode 62 is photo-etched over the second anode 62 until the top of the second anode 62 is exposed.
Second, the second anode 62 is etched by photolithography until the top of the second anode 62 is exposed, and then the N layer 2 is etched by photolithography and etching until the first anode 61 is exposed.
Referring to fig. 4, the method includes the following steps:
s531: a third photoresist 73 and a fourth photoresist 74 thicker than the third photoresist 73 are disposed on the second P layer 42, the third photoresist 73 is positioned above the first anode 61, and the fourth photoresist 74 is positioned at the outer periphery of the second anode 62. The third photoresist 73 and the fourth photoresist 74 have different thicknesses and can be realized by adjusting the power of the ultraviolet lamp at different positions during curing; the photomask may be made transparent at a position corresponding to the fourth photoresist 74 and semi-transparent at a position corresponding to the third photoresist 73.
S532: etching the bilayer wafer to flash the third photoresist 73 and etch over the first anode 61 to expose the N layer 2 and over the second anode 62 to expose the top of the second anode 62;
s533: the remaining fourth photoresist 74 is removed.
Fourthly, the method comprises the following steps:
s531': the double-layer wafer is etched in a patterning mode until the N layer 2 is exposed, so that the second multi-quantum well layer 321 is isolated to form a plurality of second multi-quantum wells 32;
s532': the N layer 2 is further patterned over the second anode 62 until the first barrier layer 51 is exposed (i.e., the second anode 62 is exposed).
The third mode is preferably selected, so that one-time etching can be reduced, the process is simpler, the phenomenon that the surface appearance of the wafer is changed greatly due to too many times of etching is avoided, and one photomask is used less.
Referring to fig. 4, each first multiple quantum well 31 is provided with two or more second multiple quantum wells 32 on the outer periphery thereof, and specifically, step S6 includes the steps of:
