Description

A kind of high-power and high-luminance light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of metal substrate vertical stratification and embeds the photonic quasi-crystal led chip, relates in particular to a kind of high-power and high-luminance light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit, belongs to the semiconductor lighting technology and receives field of optoelectronic devices.
Background technology
High-power, high-brightness LED has been applied to automotive lighting, indoor and outdoor general illumination, LCD backlit illumination source or the like various fields; Along with improving constantly of power and brightness; The continuous reduction of cost, LED finally will replace existing general illumination light source, becomes the new generation of green light source.But LED still faces following challenge technical barrier at present:
(1) luminous efficiency is low;
(2) power is low;
(3) cost is high.
This has a strong impact on and restricts LED and gets into popularizing of general illumination and application more widely and market.Therefore, increase luminous efficiency, improve brightness and power, reducing cost becomes the technical barrier that present LED urgently needs solution badly.
Present academic industry and industrial quarters have proposed the method for multiple raising light extraction efficiency: upside-down mounting (Flip Chip), reflector (metallic reflector, distributed Bragg reflecting layer, total reflection layer), patterned substrate, surface coarsening (Surface Roughening), photonic crystal, transparent substrates (Transparent Substrate; TS), three-dimensional vertical structure, laser lift-off (Laser Lift-off, LLO), the improvement of the optimization of Ohmic electrode shape, chip form geometrization structure (parabola, hemisphere, triangle etc.), substrate-transfer, process aspect (encapsulation, heat radiation, consider the selection of fluorescent material for white light) etc.Photonic crystal LED is thought to improve by industry at present and is got optical efficiency, realizes one of effective technical means of ultra-high brightness LED.Theoretical research shows to be pointed out; Geometrical structure parameter through the appropriate design photonic crystal (shape, cycle, highly, parameter such as duty ratio); Even adopt conventional chip structure, and keep original substrate, adopt its light extraction efficiency of surperficial photonic crystal also can reach 40%.Philips Lumileds researcher developed light extraction efficiency in 2009 and reaches 73% photonic crystal LED (optimal components of this group has the gallium nitride film of thick 700nm; And make the dark photonic crystal pattern of 250nm with the dry etching mode, so that let x-ray diffraction leave LED.Optimal photonic crystal has the A13 lattice, and it is the triangle that unit cell is made up of 13 holes, and lattice constant is 450nm), its maximum brightness is 2 times of general LED at present (Nature, Photonics, Vol.3, p.163,2009.).Luminus Devices employing early photonic crystal, obtained the photonic crystal LED of 107lm/W at the end of Year 2008, become the new performance indicators of this device.The said firm will develop high brightness photon crystal PhatLight LED and be applied in (for example 56 cun rear-projection TVs of Samsung) and minitype projection machine in some high-end TVs.Cree will have obtained the photonic crystal LED of 107lm/W in the end of the year 2008, become the new performance indicators of this assembly.
Compare with photonic crystal LED, photonic quasi-crystal (photon is accurate brilliant) structure LED shows better optical characteristics.Accurate brilliant photonic crystal (Photonic Quasi-crystals; PQCs) be that a kind of dielectric material is the photonic bandgap material that quasicrystal structure is arranged; It has rotational symmetry and long-range directive property, but does not have translational symmetry (periodically), and shows the short distance randomness and the characteristic of long-range order.The remarkable difference of photonic quasi-crystal and photonic crystal is that the dielectric constant of photonic crystal distributes by the cycle lattice, and the accurate brilliant dielectric constant of photon distributes according to the quasi-crystalline lattice minor structure.Photonic quasi-crystal has that the refractive index threshold value that produces complete band gap is low, photon band gap is irrelevant with incident direction, produce the local attitude need not the performance that defective etc. is superior to the periodicity photonic crystal.In addition, periodic structure photonic crystal far-field emission only is confined to summit, Prague, is difficult to realize the illuminance uniformity (uniform illumination of far-field) in far field.Limited photonic crystal LED application in a lot of fields.And photonic quasi-crystal can obtain the desirable far field illumination of uniformity.In addition, as far as 2 D photon crystal, because triangular lattice has higher symmetry, photonic crystal LED adopts this structure usually.But aim at photonic crystal; Its permutations is more; Wherein some is even can form the high rotational symmetry structure of 8,9,10,12 weights (fold) etc.; Such symmetry makes that on the high symmetric points of reciprocal lattice occur can rank degeneracys (degeneracy), and has bigger possibility broad-band gap to occur.So two-dimentional photonic quasi-crystal is because it can have the rotational symmetry higher than 2 D photon crystal, thereby its frequency bandwidth characteristics is little to the influence of the incident direction of light, so form complete photonic band gap more easily.
Photonic crystal and photonic quasi-crystal LED have following significant advantage: (1) height is got optical efficiency; (2) good Beam Control and light distribution, especially photonic quasi-crystal have good far-field characteristic.Existing photonic crystal LED mainly is the upper surface formation photon crystal structure at LED, and still, there is following problem in surperficial photonic crystal LED structure: a little less than the coupling of (1) photonic crystal and rudimentary waveguide light, be difficult to realize the extraction to rudimentary waveguide light; (2) in the manufacture process of surperficial photonic crystal, etching technics possibly damage active layer, influences light extraction efficiency; (3) compare with the planar LED structure, the manufacturing difficulty of Ohmic electrode, CURRENT DISTRIBUTION is inhomogeneous, influences electrology characteristic.And the LED of embeddability photon crystal structure not only can realize the extraction of fine mode, low step mode and the various mode light of cover layer pattern, has significantly improved light extraction efficiency.And Ohmic electrode can look like traditional LED and on whole plane, makes; The particularly important is not in surperficial photonic crystal manufacture process, because etching causes the damage of active layer.Therefore, compare with surperficial photonic crystal LED, embedded type photonic crystal LED structure has following advantage: (1) is high gets optical efficiency; (2) good electrology characteristic; (3) good epitaxial wafer quality.
LED mainly contains three kinds of structures at present: the positive assembling structure (side direction structure) that (1) is traditional; (2) inverted structure; (3) vertical stratification.Traditional positive assembling structure LED is the most popular on market, and cost of manufacture is low, but has shortcomings (especially Sapphire Substrate structure) such as poor heat conductivity; Inverted structure LED is representative with the Lumileds of PHILIPS Co., but not from problems such as the heat radiation that solves LED in essence, current unevenness (electric current is congested), life-spans; Two electrodes of the led chip of vertical stratification are respectively in the both sides of LED epitaxial loayer; Since patterned electrodes and whole p-class limitations layer as second electrode, make electric current almost all vertical currents cross the LED epitaxial loayer, the electric current of few lateral flow; Can improve the CURRENT DISTRIBUTION problem of planar structure; Improve luminous efficiency, also can solve the shading problem of the P utmost point, promote the light-emitting area of LED.Especially laser lift-off is removed original substrate, and metal alloys such as employing copper are the vertical stratification of substrate, have well solved the heat dissipation problem of great power LED.In addition, the laser lift-off with the SiC substrate vertical stratification of Cree and Osram, Semileds is representative.Connect mutually with extraneous power supply owing to need not to beat gold thread, the thickness of the encapsulation of the led chip of employing through-hole vertical structure reduces.Therefore, can be used to make extra-thin device, like backlight etc.Therefore, the vertical stratification LED of metal substrate has well solved heat dissipation problem, is particularly suitable for high-power LED chip.
Can further promote the light extraction efficiency of LED in conjunction with embedding photonic quasi-crystal LED, vertical stratification, transversal epitaxial growth, metal substrate, effectively promote the brightness and the power of light-emitting diode, well solve the heat dissipation problem of power-type LED.Therefore, for the exploitation that realizes power type high brightness and ultra-high brightness LED a kind of new way and method are provided.
Nano-imprint lithography (Nanoimprint Lithography; NIL) be a kind of new nanostructure manufacturing approach; It has characteristics such as high resolution, Ultra Low Cost (internal authority mechanism assesses the NIL of equal production technique than the low at least one magnitude of traditional optical projection lithography) and high production rate, and its most significant advantage is the ability (especially for soft UV-NIL) that large tracts of land and complex three-dimensional micro-nano structure are made.In addition, NIL realizes that through the stress deformation of resist it is graphical, does not relate to the use of various high energy beams, and is little for the damage of substrate.But also has the ability of full wafer wafer impression.At present, nano impression has become the graphic sapphire substrate, photonic crystal is made one of optimal technical method.Nano-imprint lithography is showing huge potential aspect low cost, scale manufacturing photonic crystal and the photonic quasi-crystal LED.Compare with micro-nano manufacturing approach manufacturing photonic crystal such as electron beam lithography, holographic lithography, anodic oxidation aluminium formwork (AAO), dry etching and photonic quasi-crystal structure; NIL has that cost is low, productivity ratio is high, can make the big advantage of wafer size, and can on the out-of-flatness wafer, make photonic crystal and photonic quasi-crystal structure and receive aspects such as yardstick substrate graph and have significant advantage.The graphical manufacturing of photonic crystal LED of being as the criterion provides a kind of method of desirable large-scale production.
