Description

A kind of LED patterned substrate and LED chip of optimization
Technical field
The utility model relates to LED chip, particularly a kind of LED patterned substrate and LED chip of optimization.
Background technology
The light extraction efficiency of LED depends on internal quantum efficiency and external quantum efficiency.On the one hand, because there is larger difference in lattice constant and the thermal coefficient of expansion of GaN and Sapphire Substrate, having produced density in the crystal of GaN film is 10 9-10 12cm -2Pass through dislocation, this internal quantum efficiency to GaN base LED has produced adverse influence.Yet along with continuing to optimize of GaN growth technology, the crystalloid amount of heap of stone of GaN increases, and the internal quantum efficiency of LED reaches more than 90% at present.On the other hand, GaN has higher refraction coefficient (n=2.45), the critical angle [θ of beam projecting c=sin -1(n air/ n GaN)] be only 24.6 °, cause existing between LED chip and air serious total reflection phenomenon, external quantum efficiency is difficult to improve.The improvement scheme that proposed for this problem afterwards as introducing Bragg reflecting layer, photonic crystal, surface coarsening etc., has all improved the external quantum efficiency of LED to a certain extent.And the patterned substrate technology that developed recently gets up can not only change light by the pattern inclined plane and inject direction, and light is diminished (less than the cirtical angle of total reflection) in the incidence angle of interface outgoing, more light transmissives and going out, thus external quantum efficiency is improved; Can also make GaN produce brilliant effect laterally of heap of stone when epitaxial growth, thereby reduce defect concentrations in crystals, improve the internal quantum efficiency of LED.For satisfying the requirement of device performance, the design of graph substrate is several kinds of renewals, and from initial flute profile to hexagon, taper, prismoid shaped etc., the effect of patterned substrate technology is approved.
The pattern of substrate is the key of patterned substrate technology, and underlay pattern develops so far, and LED light extraction effect and epitaxial quality are improved significantly, has become the important channel of improving the LED performance, and the light extraction efficiency of LED is played decisive role.As the direct factor that affects light path, the parameter of pattern will certainly affect (comprising the length of side, height and spacing etc.) performance of LED in the choice.The people such as J.H.Cheng utilize wet etching technique to etch the cone shaped pattern with different inclination angle on Sapphire Substrate, find that the inclination angle of cone shaped pattern produces considerable influence to the crystalloid amount of heap of stone of GaN, defect concentration, internal quantum efficiency etc.In order to reduce dislocation, should take less laterally inclined angle, but small inclination can weaken figure to reflection of light or scattering effect, therefore need to seek a balance point.It is 3 μ m that the people such as D.S.Wuu utilize wet etching technique to prepare the length of side on Sapphire Substrate, the degree of depth is the triangular pyramid figure of 1.5 μ m, adopt the mocvd method growing GaN and make chip, it is carried out optic test, the external quantum efficiency of finding the graphical sapphire substrate GaN-based LED is different because of the change of pattern density, and the power output of patterned substrate LED promotes 25% than the power output of common LED.In addition, the human nanometer embossings such as R.Hsueh prepare nano level underlay pattern on Sapphire Substrate, the light intensity of the LED chip that this substrate produces and light emission rate have improved respectively 67% and 38% all higher than common Sapphire Substrate LED, also are better than micron order graph substrate LED.But be not that dimension of picture is less, the performance of LED is just better, and the relation between dimension of picture and LED performance still needs balance.Studies show that: along with reducing of pattern-pitch, be prone at GaN and sapphire interface the cavity that has little time to heal and produce due to the GaN growth, and cause the more dislocation of epitaxial loayer, even if light extraction efficiency promotes to some extent, but the increase of epitaxial loayer dislocation can reduce its internal quantum efficiency and LED chip life-span.In addition, the nano-scale patterns manufacturing cost is high, and industrialization is more difficult, has also greatly limited it and has applied.This shows, the optimization of dimension of picture and LED performance also needs further research.
Even if patterned substrate has increased substantially the light extraction efficiency of LED, but at present still rare about the research of positive hexagonal pyramid figure, for the graph substrate take positive hexagonal pyramid as basic pattern, do not have yet achievement in research can explicitly point out the parameters such as its best pattern inclination angle, the length of side, pattern density, the application of positive hexagonal pyramid graph substrate pattern lacks the design objective of a cover system.In addition, on the optimization problem of pattern dimension, solve that size is dwindled and its balance between GaN growth quality is damaged, guarantee crystalloid amount better of heap of stone under the prerequisite that improves light extraction efficiency, accomplish raising LED aspect of performance truly, still require study.Therefore, the most optimized parameter of determining positive hexagonal pyramid patterned substrate pattern needs to be resolved hurrily.
