Description

Microminiature LED transferring device and transferring method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor chip manufacturing, in particular to a microminiature LED transfer device and a transfer method.
Background
A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a commonly used light emitting device, which emits light by energy released by recombination of electrons and holes, and is widely used in the fields of illumination, flat panel display, medical devices, and the like. At present, the miniaturization of the LED is gradually advanced, and with the appearance of Micro LEDs such as Mini LED (chip size is about 100 to 300 μm) and Micro LED (chip size is about 50 to 100 μm), the technology of directly using the LED for screen display gradually moves to the market. The development of future display technologies is driven by displays made of micro-LEDs with smaller pixels and higher quality. In the prior art, micro LEDs are usually manufactured by a wafer process, wherein the LEDs are firstly prepared on a wafer, the wafer is cut into a large number of single micro LED chips, and then the micro LEDs are transferred to target substrates such as a circuit board, a wafer tape, a blue film, a white film and the like.
In the above process, the efficiency of transferring the cut micro-LEDs to the target substrate is one of the key factors limiting the production efficiency of the micro-LED display. Because the micro-LEDs are small in size and large in number, if the micro-LEDs are transferred in a mode that a traditional suction nozzle sucks one by one, the transfer efficiency is very low. Some improved transfer devices combine a plurality of suction nozzles to suck and paste, so that the comprehensive speed is improved to a certain extent, but the size of the transfer device is obviously increased, the operation difficulty is increased, and the transfer speed is difficult to break through qualitatively. The needle-punching transfer method appearing in recent years is a faster mode. The principle of this approach is: the cut micro-LEDs are firstly adhered to a raw substrate (such as a PVC film) with certain viscosity, and then one of the LEDs is separated from the raw substrate and is contacted with a target substrate in a needling mode, wherein the target substrate is also a material with certain viscosity, so that the LEDs can be transferred to the target substrate through adhesion. In the needle transfer mode, the moving distance of the needle is very small, so that high reciprocating frequency can be achieved. However, the conventional needle-punching transfer device still has one or more problems of large device volume, poor flexibility, low transfer precision and the like.
