Because the height of the supporting layer and the height of the conductive columns are controllable through the process, micro LEDs with smaller volumes can be manufactured by using the manufacturing method, the supporting layer can adapt to be shorter as the LED base layer is smaller, and the supporting layer can adapt to be longer as the LED base layer is larger, so that the process has strong universality.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chip preparation, in particular to an LED chip structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The preparation of blue-green LED chips of GaN on a conventional sapphire substrate belongs to the mature industry, white light products are widely applied to markets of white light illumination, high-end car lamps and the like, the device structure of the white light products is roughly divided into a forward mounting structure and a flip-chip structure with a sapphire substrate, and a thin film flip-chip for removing sapphire is also provided, but the application is obviously characterized by pursuing high current density, high brightness and the like.
In a novel display industry, when a product usually pursues high definition (i.e. high PPI) under the condition of satisfying brightness, the essential requirements of the product include small pixel pitch and small pixel light source, and then mini and Micro LED chips are derived.
The sapphire substrate LED is limited to the difficulty of sapphire processing, the thickness of the chip is difficult to grind and thin, 4 inches of sapphire is now ground to 60 μm, the scratch of the ground diamond and the stress of the processing process can cause the fracture of the 4 inches of chip, and the processing limit can limit the length and width dimensions of the chip to 60 μm (thickness) 60 μm (width) 60 μm (length):
1. if the length and the width are smaller than the thickness, a column with unstable gravity center is formed, and the chip is easy to turn laterally.
2. The length and width of the chip are smaller than the thickness of the chip, so that the cutting and splitting processing of the sapphire is very difficult.
3. When the sapphire substrate is stripped, the remaining GaN _ LED is extended to be about 5 μm thick, the mechanical resistance is poor, the length and the width cannot be less than 20 μm, and otherwise the GaN _ LED is easy to crack.
The mini to micro chips with sapphire substrate have a sudden change in size. For a silicon wafer, although sapphire is easy to process on a silicon substrate, the silicon substrate is opaque and cannot be used as a flip chip, so that the light emitting efficiency (external quantum efficiency) of the chip is influenced, and the processes of gold-tin eutectic crystal, tin paste crystal fixation and the like cannot be used only by using a bonding wire process.

step seven: and removing the substrate to expose the bottom N-type GaN layer.
Specifically, the manufacturing method further includes:
step eight: and roughening the surface of the exposed N-type GaN layer by photoetching and etching technologies.
The LED chip structure in this application adopts the mode that upwards increases to promote and to make the focus of chip can obtain control, has avoided turning on one's side of chip, also can realize flip-chip simultaneously, because the increase in height makes the bottom get rid of the operation of basement just become more convenient, the silicon substrate just not to say even the peeling off of sapphire base can not lead to the chip to break yet.
Because the heights of the supporting layer and the conductive posts are controllable in process, micro LEDs with smaller volumes can be manufactured by using the manufacturing method, the smaller the LED base layer is, the shorter the supporting layer can adapt to, and conversely, the larger the LED base layer is, the longer the supporting layer can adapt to, so that the process has strong universality.
