Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The invention discloses a transfer method of a miniature light emitting diode chip 10, which comprises the following steps:
step 1: providing a micro light emitting diode chip 10 with a floating layer 11, the floating layer 11 being formed on one side surface of the micro light emitting diode chip 10; the micro light emitting diode chip 10 with the floating layer 11 is placed in the solution, the micro light emitting diode chip 10 with the floating layer 11 floats on the liquid surface of the solution under the action of the floating layer 11, and the floating layer 11 can enable the micro light emitting diode chip 10 to directionally float on the liquid surface.
Step 2: providing a substrate 20, wherein a plurality of groove bodies 21 for accommodating micro light emitting diode chips 10 are arranged on the substrate 20, the positions of the groove bodies 21 are the same as the positions of the micro light emitting diodes on an active driving backboard, the groove bodies 21 are magnetic, electrodes of the micro light emitting diode chips 10 can be magnetically attracted, the substrate 20 is lifted from the position below the liquid level of a solution to the liquid level of the solution, in the lifting process, the substrate 20 supports the micro light emitting diode chips 10 with floating layers 11, the substrate 20 is vibrated, the micro light emitting diode chips 10 with the floating layers 11 fall into the groove bodies 21, and the electrodes of the micro light emitting diode chips 10 are attracted to a magnetic material, so that the substrate 20 loaded with the micro light emitting diode chips 10 with the floating layers 11 is obtained.
Step 3: the floating layer 11 is removed and the micro led chip 10 is bonded to the active driving back plate.
According to the invention, the micro light emitting diode chips 10 are placed in the solution, and then the substrate 20 is adopted to capture the micro light emitting diode chips 10 floating on the liquid surface of the solution from bottom to top, so that the number of the micro light emitting diode chips 10 captured by the substrate 20 is larger than that of the micro light emitting diode chips 10 formed on the growth substrate, and the transfer efficiency is improved; the micro light emitting diode chip 10 is directionally floated on the liquid surface by arranging the floating layer 11; by adopting a method of supporting the micro light emitting diode chip 10 from bottom to top and adopting a vibration mode to enable the micro light emitting diode chip 10 to fall into the groove body 21, the damage to the micro light emitting diode chip 10 is avoided, and the yield of the micro light emitting diode chip 10 is improved; the groove body 21 is adopted to capture the micro light emitting diode chip 10, so that the micro light emitting diode chip 10 is positioned on the substrate 20 more accurately; by making the groove body 21 magnetic, the electrode side of the micro light emitting diode chip 10 is fixed in the groove body 21, and the magnetic attraction makes the micro light emitting diode chip 10 more easily caught by the groove body 21. According to the transfer method combining the fluid technology and the magnetic attraction technology, the transfer speed per hour exceeds 5000 ten thousand, and mass transfer can be completed without preparing a hollowed-out structure.
In the above-mentioned technical solution, when the substrate 20 is vibrated, in order to avoid the buoyancy of the solution to the micro led chip 10 from affecting the micro led chip 10 to fall into the tank 21, it is preferable to make the substrate 20 rise above the liquid surface of the solution to vibrate the substrate 20.
Because the groove body 21 is provided with the magnetic material magnetically attracted with the electrodes of the micro light emitting diode chips 10, the substrate 20 can repeatedly enter and exit the solution to capture as many micro light emitting diode chips 10 as possible until all the groove bodies 21 of the substrate 20 are attracted with the micro light emitting diode chips 10.
In a specific embodiment, the material of the floating layer 11 is selected from one or both of polyethylene or chlorinated polyethylene. The polyethylene may be selected from low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, very low density polyethylene, and the like. Low density polyethylene is generally produced by radical polymerization at high temperature and high pressure, and because of chain transfer reaction during the reaction, many branches are generated on the molecular chains, which prevent the orderly arrangement of the molecular chains, and thus the density is low, and at the same time, the low density polyethylene is very soft and somewhat sticky, and because of its low crystallinity, the transparency of the low density polyethylene is high. Linear low density polyethylene is produced by copolymerizing copolymers having short chain branches in the backbone of the polyethylene.
The floating layer 11 is too thin to realize directional floating, too thick, and difficult to rotate during vibration and also difficult to attract the magnetic material in the tank body or greatly weaken the magnetic attraction.
Preferably, the slot body 21 is funnel-shaped, and the size of the opening of the slot body 21 is larger than the size of the bottom of the slot body 21, so that the micro light emitting diode can fall into the slot body 21. In this embodiment, the height of the groove 21 is smaller than the height of the micro led chip 10, and in particular, the height of the groove 21 is about 4um to 6um.
In one embodiment, the method for preparing the substrate 20 includes the following steps:
first, the substrate 20 includes a body, and an insulating layer is formed on an upper surface of the body, and the insulating layer may be made of a hard insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.
And etching the insulating layer to form a groove body. Specifically, a photoresist layer can be formed above the insulating layer, then a patterned photoresist layer is formed by adopting an exposure and development method, the patterned photoresist layer is used as a mask, and a dry or wet etching method is adopted to etch the insulating layer to form a groove body.
Then, a metal layer with magnetism is formed on the bottom and the side wall of the groove body, so that the groove body has magnetism. Specifically, in this step, the patterned photoresist layer is continuously used as a mask, and a deposition method (for example, CVD, sputtering, electroplating, etc.) is used to form a metal layer with magnetism.
The metal layer with magnetism may include a ferromagnetic metal layer (including a ferromagnetic metal layer with permanent magnetism (for example, metals such as iron, cobalt, nickel, etc.) and a ferromagnetic metal layer with magnetism generated by an external magnetic field), or may be a metal alloy layer mixed with ferromagnetic metal components.
The substrate 20 may be a transfer substrate or an active driving back plate, and when the substrate 20 is a transfer substrate, since the micro led chip 10 is required to be transferred, the groove body preferably generates magnetism under the action of an external magnetic field, the metal layer with magnetism may be a metal layer with magnetism under the action of an external magnetic field, specifically, the metal layer with magnetism under the action of an external magnetic field may include a ferromagnetic metal layer generating magnetism under the action of an external magnetic field, or a metal alloy layer mixed with a ferromagnetic metal component generating magnetism under the action of an external magnetic field. When the substrate 20 is an active driving back plate, the metal layer with magnetism is electrically connected with the circuit on the active driving back plate and the electrode of the micro light emitting diode chip 10 respectively.
In the above embodiments, the active driving back plate is electrically connected to each micro led chip 10, and the active driving back plate provides display control and driving control for each micro led chip 10, so as to implement addressing control and individual driving for each micro led chip 10 (i.e., each pixel point).
In the above embodiments, the solution for dispersing the micro led chip 10 may be deionized water, distilled water, isopropyl alcohol, or acetone.

The growth substrate is specifically a material such as sapphire, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, etc., and is deposited on the growth substrate in sequence to form a semiconductor epitaxial wafer, then micro light emitting diode units with a micrometer size are formed at intervals by an etching method, and then electrodes are formed on the micro light emitting diode units to obtain the micro light emitting diode chip 10.

In this embodiment, it is preferable that the groove 21 generates magnetism under the energizing condition, and the de-magnetism disappears, so that the micro led chip 10 is easy to separate from the transfer substrate.

Specifically, in one embodiment, the temporary transferring device may be a vacuum adsorption transferring device, so that the vacuum adsorption transferring device adsorbs a surface of the micro light emitting diode chips 10, which is far away from the electrode, and fixes each micro light emitting diode chip 10 by using an adsorption force, so as to transfer all the micro light emitting diode chips 10 in batches.

In this embodiment, the cleaning liquid may be aliphatic hydrocarbon, aromatic hydrocarbon, halogenated hydrocarbon, or the like.
