Description

  The present invention relates to a light emitting device.

Conventionally, a light emitting device of a chip scale package (CSP) approximately the same size as a chip has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). This light-emitting device is a light-emitting device in a top-view type mounting form. Depending on the application, the light-emitting device itself is thin and can be used very effectively. In addition, the light emitting device is formed with a protrusion on a lead electrode used for a package, thereby improving mass production efficiency and realizing further reduction in thickness.
On the other hand, a side view type light emitting device is used as a backlight light source of a display panel of an electronic device.
Since the mounting form of the side view type light emitting device is different from the above-described top view type, there are various restrictions that the top view type cannot be applied as it is in terms of mounting stability, light distribution state, and the like. .

JP 2001-223391 A

In particular, in recent years, in light-emitting devices that are required to be smaller and thinner, flattening and downsizing of the substrate have been promoted in order to minimize the space occupied by the chip scale package itself. For this reason, the metal member used as a terminal has shifted from a plate-like lead electrode to a metal film formed directly on the substrate itself in the form of an ultrathin film. Even when such a metal film is used for a package, particularly in a side-view type light-emitting device, mounting of a light-emitting element on a package,
In mounting a light emitting device on a mounting substrate, there is a demand for a device that can be mounted or mounted stably and with high accuracy without causing element failure.
In addition, under a situation where a further smaller output or higher brightness is required by a smaller chip,
It is necessary to further improve the light extraction efficiency.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and even in a small and thin light-emitting device, an element defect occurs when the light-emitting element is mounted on a package and the light-emitting device is mounted on a mounting substrate. An object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting device that can be mounted or mounted stably and with high accuracy.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. However, the light-emitting device described below is for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following unless otherwise specified. The contents described in one embodiment and example are applicable to other embodiments and examples.
The size and positional relationship of the members shown in each drawing may be exaggerated for clarity of explanation.

The light emitting device of the present invention includes a base body including a pair of connection terminals, a light emitting element, and a light reflecting member. This light emitting device may be used in any mounting form, but a light emitting device mounted in a mounting form called a side view type, so-called side light emitting type, that is, a surface adjacent to the light extraction surface. A mounting surface is preferable.

In this specification, the light extraction surface of the light emitting device is referred to as an upper surface, the surface adjacent to or intersecting with the light extraction surface is referred to as a side surface, and one of the side surfaces is referred to as a mounting surface of the light emitting device. Accordingly, the surface corresponding to the light extraction surface of the light emitting device among the surfaces of each element or each member constituting the light emitting device is the first main surface (that is, the upper surface) and the opposite side of the first main surface. The first main surface (that is, the lower surface) and the first
A surface adjacent to or intersecting with the main surface and the second main surface (that is, a surface corresponding to the side surface of the light emitting device) may be referred to as an end surface.

[Substrate]
The base body includes a pair of connection terminals corresponding to positive and negative at least on the first main surface. These connection terminals are usually formed on at least the first main surface of the base material. The 1st main surface here refers to one surface of a base or a base material.
The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited, but is usually a shape corresponding to the shape of a base material described later.
For example, it is preferable that at least the first main surface is long in the longitudinal direction, and it is more preferable that a short direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is provided.

(Base material)
The base material may be formed of any material. For example, metal, ceramic,
Examples thereof include resins, dielectrics, pulp, glass, paper, or composite materials thereof, or composite materials of these materials and conductive materials (for example, metal, carbon, etc.). Metals include copper, iron,
The thing containing nickel, chromium, aluminum, silver, gold | metal | money, titanium, or these alloys is mentioned. Examples of the resin include an epoxy resin, a bismaleimide triazine (BT) resin, and a polyimide resin. The resin may contain a white pigment such as titanium oxide.
Of these, ceramics and composite resins are preferable.
When the base material is formed of such a material, it can be procured at low cost by applying a known manufacturing technique.

Examples of the ceramic include aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, zirconium oxide, zirconium nitride, titanium oxide, titanium nitride, or a mixture thereof, and it is preferable to use aluminum nitride having high heat dissipation. The composite resin is preferably a glass epoxy resin. Note that the base material may have a moderate strength or may have so-called flexibility.

The shape, size, thickness, etc. of the base material in one light emitting device are not particularly limited,
It can be set appropriately. Examples of the (planar) shape of the first main surface include a circular shape, a polygonal shape such as a quadrangle, or a shape close to these, and a rectangular shape is preferable among them. The size is preferably a larger area than the light emitting element described later, and in particular, a size having a length of about 2 to 5 times one side of the light emitting element is preferable. As for thickness, about 50-300 micrometers is mentioned.

(Connecting terminal)
The pair of connection terminals may be formed on at least the first main surface of the base.
For example, the connection terminal is provided extending from the first main surface on the surface (that is, the end surface) existing between the first main surface and the second main surface, or from the first main surface, It passes over the end surface existing between the first main surface and the second main surface, and further extends on the second main surface (for example, in a cross-sectional view, in a U shape). Preferred (see connection terminal 3 in FIG. 2, connection terminal 43 in FIG. 8C, etc.).
Here, the end surface means a part or all of one end surface existing between the first main surface and the second main surface, but the specific existing between the first main surface and the second main surface. In addition to a part or all of the end face, a part of one or two end faces adjacent to the specific end face may be included.

In the connection terminal, a portion connected to the light emitting element on the first main surface of the base includes a protrusion protruding from the surface of the connection terminal. Hereinafter, this part may be referred to as an “element connection part”.
The shape, height, size, and the like of the convex portion are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately adjusted depending on the size of the base, the thickness of the connection terminal, the size of the light emitting element, and the like.
For example, it is preferable that the convex portions are arranged in shapes, sizes, and positions corresponding to each of a pair of electrodes formed in the light emitting element described later. The planar shape of the convex part is a circle,
Ellipses or rings, polygons such as triangles or quadrangles, or shapes with rounded corners, X, L
, E, and V-shaped polygons, or shapes with rounded corners. Especially, it is preferable that at least a part of the outer shape of the convex portion in plan view is a shape that matches the outer shape of the electrode of the light emitting element. Thereby, as will be described later, the mountability can be improved by the self-alignment effect. Moreover, the shape where a part (for example, center part) of a polygon side was dented inside is preferable like X shape. It is easy to store the meltable member in the recessed portion, and the mounting of the light emitting element can be stabilized.
The inclination on the side surface of the convex portion is preferably close to vertical. Thereby, it becomes difficult for the light emitting element mounted on it to move, and the mounting of the light emitting element can be stabilized.

In the pair of connection terminals, the portions connected to the light emitting element are usually separated from each other on the first main surface of the base. Therefore, the convex portion can be arranged adjacent to or apart from the edge of the connection terminal and partially adjacent or partially separated. Above all, the whole edge of the convex part
It is preferable that the connecting terminal is spaced from the edge of the connecting terminal and disposed inside thereof (for example, see the convex portion 3a in FIG. 3, the convex portion 13a in FIG. 5A, and the convex portion 43a in FIGS. 8E and 9E). Due to the arrangement of the projections, even when a meltable member to be described later flows from the projection when the light emitting element is mounted, it is easy to collect around the projection, and the short circuit between the pair of connection terminals, the intention It is possible to prevent the meltable member from entering the area that is not. Therefore, the light emitting element can be accurately fixed to the intended site. Further, it is possible to prevent a meltable member or the like for mounting the light emitting element or a flux contained therein from penetrating under the light reflecting member (to be described later) and further below the light emitting element along the connection terminal surface. Can do.

For example, the height of the convex portion only needs to protrude from the thinnest part of the connection terminal on the first main surface of the base, and is 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more of the thickness of the thinnest part. , 40
% Or more, 50% or more, preferably 100% or more. In other words, the connection terminal is
Usually, when the thickness of the thinnest portion on the first main surface is about 10 to 40 μm, the thickness of the convex portion is about 1 to 40 μm.

The connection terminals are, for example, Au, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ni, W, Mo, Cr, Ti, Fe,
It can be formed of a single layer film or a laminated film of a metal such as Cu, Al, Ag, or an alloy thereof. Among these, materials excellent in conductivity and mountability are preferable, and materials having good bondability and wettability with solder used for mounting the light emitting device are more preferable. In particular, copper or a copper alloy is preferable from the viewpoint of heat dissipation. A film having high light reflectivity such as silver, platinum, tin, gold, copper, rhodium, or an alloy thereof may be formed on the surface of the connection terminal. The connection terminals are
Specifically, a laminated structure of W / Ni / Au, W / Ni / Pd / Au, W / NiCo / Pd / Au, or the like can be given.
The connection terminals may partially differ in thickness or number of layers (see the connection terminals 43 in FIGS. 8B and 9B, and the protrusions 43a in FIGS. 8C and 9C).

The connection terminal may use wiring, a lead frame, or the like, or can be formed by vapor deposition on the surface of a base material, sputtering, plating, or the like. Among these, it is preferable to use plating. In particular, the protrusion is formed on the single-layer film or the laminated film by using a mask after forming the above-described single-layer film or laminated film of the metal or alloy on at least the first main surface. It can be formed by further laminating a single layer film or a laminated film. The convex part is
After forming a thick film by substrate surface plating or the like, it can be formed by removing portions other than the convex portions by etching. According to this method, it is easy to make the inclination of the side surface of the convex portion close to vertical. Further, even when a composite substrate is used, variation in plating thickness (height of convex portions) can be reduced, so that mass productivity can be improved. The thickness of the connection terminal is from several μm to several hundred μm.

It is preferable that a part of the edge of the connection terminal is formed so as to coincide with a part of the edge of the first main surface of the base. In other words, it is preferable that a part of the end face of the connection terminal and a part of the end face of the base are formed so as to form the same plane. Thereby, the mountability of the light emitting device can be improved. Here, the same surface means that there is no or almost no step, and irregularities of about several μm to several tens of μm are allowed. The same applies hereinafter in this specification.

The connection terminal has an element connection portion connected to the electrode of the light emitting element described above on the first main surface;
It is preferable to have an external connection portion connected to the outside of the light emitting device. In particular, it is more preferable that the external connection portion further extends on the second main surface of the base in addition to the first main surface of the base. Usually, the element connection portion is arranged on the first main surface, and the external connection portion is arranged on the first main surface, the first main surface and the end surface, or on the first main surface, the end surface and the second main surface. .

The connection terminal does not necessarily have the same width (on the first main surface, the end surface, and / or the second main surface).
For example, it may not be the length of the base in the short direction), and only a part thereof may be formed narrow or wide. Alternatively, in the first main surface and / or the second main surface of the base, so as to be narrow,
A part of the connection terminal may be covered with an insulating material (for example, a base material). Such a narrow portion is preferably disposed on at least the first main surface of the base (see connection terminal 3 in FIG. 3), and is disposed on both the first main surface and the second main surface. (Refer to the connection terminal 43 in FIGS. 8D and 8F). In particular, it is more preferable that the narrow portion is disposed in the vicinity of the light reflecting member described later on the first main surface of the base. By arranging the narrow portion, the solder or the like as will be described later, or the flux contained therein, which is connected to the connection terminal, along the surface of the terminal, below the light reflecting member to be described later, and further below the light emitting element. It is possible to suppress the intrusion.

The narrow portion is preferably narrower than the element connection portion. Further, it is preferable that the narrow portion is gradually narrowed (see, for example, the connection terminal 43 in FIG. 8E).

When the connection terminal extends from the first main surface to the second main surface, the connection terminal does not necessarily pass through the end surface and may extend through a through hole provided in the base material.

Further, in addition to the connection terminal electrically connected to the light emitting element, a heat radiating terminal, a heat sink, a reinforcing member, and the like may be included (see, for example, the reinforcing terminal 43c in FIGS. 8B and 9B). . These may be disposed on any of the first main surface, the second main surface, and the end surface, and particularly preferably disposed below the light emitting element and / or the light reflecting member. Thereby, the intensity | strength of a light-emitting device can be raised and reliability can be improved. Further, when the light reflective member is molded using a mold, the distortion of the substrate is reduced, and the moldability of the light reflective member can be improved.
When the heat radiating terminal or the reinforcing terminal is provided between the connection terminals, it is preferable that the terminal is covered with an insulating film such as a solder resist or an insulating film is provided between the terminals. . Thereby, the bridge | crosslinking of the meltable member between the connection terminals and the terminal for thermal radiation or the reinforcement terminal can be prevented.

Further, in the case where a plurality of light emitting elements are arranged in one light emitting device, one or more additional connection terminals for electrically connecting the plurality of light emitting elements may be provided. In this case, the shape and position of the connection terminal can be appropriately set depending on the number of light-emitting elements mounted on one substrate, the arrangement thereof, the connection form (parallel and series), and the like (see the terminal 25 in FIG. 6). . This connection terminal is provided with the above-described convex portion at a portion connected to the light emitting element.

As for a connection terminal, it is preferable that the 1st main surface other than a convex part is flat. Further, the first main surface of the connection terminal and the surface of the convex portion are horizontal to the first main surface of the base so that the light emitting surface can be arranged horizontally when the light emitting element is mounted on the base. It is preferable.

The substrate itself may constitute a protective element such as a capacitor, a varistor, a Zener diode, or a bridge diode, or may include a part of the structure that functions as these elements. By using a device that performs such an element function, it is possible to function as a light emitting device without separately mounting components. As a result, it is possible to further reduce the size of a high-performance light-emitting device with improved electrostatic withstand voltage and the like.

[Light emitting element]
The light emitting element is mounted on the base, and is connected to the connection terminal on the first main surface on the first main surface of the base.
There may be one light emitting element or a plurality of light emitting elements mounted on one light emitting device. The size, shape, and emission wavelength of the light-emitting element can be selected as appropriate. When multiple light emitting elements are mounted,
The arrangement may be irregular, and may be arranged regularly or periodically such as a matrix. In addition, the plurality of light emitting elements may be connected in any of series, parallel, series parallel, or parallel series.

The light-emitting element in the light-emitting device of the present invention includes a first semiconductor layer (for example, a semiconductor stack)
n-type semiconductor layer), a light emitting layer, and a second semiconductor layer (for example, a p-type semiconductor layer) are laminated in this order,
Both the first electrode electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer and the second electrode electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer on the same surface side (for example, the surface on the second semiconductor layer side) Have. The semiconductor stack is
Usually, the semiconductor layers are stacked on a growth substrate. However, the light emitting element may be accompanied by a growth substrate or may have a substrate removed.

The types and materials of the first semiconductor layer, the light emitting layer, and the second semiconductor layer are not particularly limited,
For example, various semiconductors, such as a III-V group compound semiconductor and a II-VI group compound semiconductor, are mentioned. Specific examples thereof include nitride-based semiconductor materials such as In _X Al _Y Ga _1-XY N (0 ≦ X, 0 ≦ Y, X + Y ≦ 1), and include InN, AlN, GaN, InGaN, and AlGaN.
InGaAlN or the like can be used. As the film thickness and layer structure of each layer, those known in the art can be used.

Examples of the substrate for growing the semiconductor layer include a substrate capable of epitaxially growing the semiconductor layer. Examples of such a substrate material include an insulating substrate such as sapphire (Al ₂ O ₃ ) and spinel (MgA1 ₂ O ₄ ), the above-described nitride-based semiconductor substrate, and the like. By using a light-transmitting substrate such as a sapphire substrate as a substrate for growing a semiconductor layer, the substrate can be used for a light-emitting device without being removed from the semiconductor stacked body.
The substrate may have a plurality of convex portions or irregularities on the surface. Moreover, you may have an off angle of about 0-10 degree with respect to predetermined crystal planes, such as C surface and A surface.
The substrate may have a semiconductor layer such as an intermediate layer, a buffer layer, or a base layer, an insulating layer, or the like between the first semiconductor layer.

The semiconductor layer growth substrate irradiates the semiconductor layer from the growth substrate side with laser light (for example, KrF excimer laser) that passes through the substrate to cause a decomposition reaction at the interface between the semiconductor layer and the substrate. The substrate can be removed from the semiconductor layer by using a laser lift-off method or the like. However, the growth substrate may be a substrate in which some of the substrate remains in the end portion or corner portion of the semiconductor layer in addition to the substrate completely removed from the semiconductor layer. The substrate for growth may be removed before or after the light emitting element is mounted on the substrate.

The semiconductor stacked body is thinner when the substrate for growth of the semiconductor layer is removed,
A light-emitting device that achieves miniaturization can be obtained. Further, by removing a layer that does not directly contribute to light emission, absorption of light emitted from the light emitting layer due to this can be prevented.
Therefore, the light emission efficiency can be further improved. As a result, it is possible to increase the light emission luminance.

The shape of the semiconductor laminate in plan view is not particularly limited, and a quadrangle or a shape approximate to this is preferable. The upper limit of the size of the semiconductor stacked body can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the size of the light emitting device. Specifically, the length of one side of the semiconductor stacked body is several hundred μm.
To about 10 mm.

(First electrode and second electrode)
The first electrode and the second electrode are preferably formed on the same side of the semiconductor stacked body (on the opposite side when a substrate is present). Thereby, flip chip mounting can be performed in which the positive and negative connection terminals of the substrate and the first electrode and the second electrode of the light emitting element are opposed to each other.

The first electrode and the second electrode are, for example, Au, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ni, W, Mo, Cr,
It can be formed of a single layer film or a laminated film of a metal such as Ti or an alloy thereof. Specifically, Ti / Rh / Au, W / Pt / Au, Rh / Pt / Au, W / P from the semiconductor layer side.
Examples thereof include laminated films laminated like t / Au, Ni / Pt / Au, Ti / Rh, and the like. The film thickness may be any film thickness used in this field.

In addition, the first electrode and the second electrode are closer to the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, respectively.
It is preferable that a material layer having a higher reflectivity with respect to light emitted from the light emitting layer than other materials of the electrode is disposed as a part of these electrodes.
Examples of the material having high reflectance include a layer containing silver, a silver alloy, or aluminum. As the silver alloy, any material known in the art may be used. The thickness of the material layer is not particularly limited, and may be a thickness that can effectively reflect light emitted from the light emitting element, for example, about 20 nm to 1 μm. The first semiconductor layer or the second of this material layer
The larger the contact area with the semiconductor layer, the better.

In addition, when using silver or a silver alloy, in order to prevent silver migration, it is preferable to form a coating layer that covers the surface (preferably, the upper surface and the end surface).
As such a coating layer, what is necessary is just to be formed with the metal and alloy which are normally used as a conductive material, for example, the single layer or laminated layer containing metals, such as aluminum, copper, and nickel, is mentioned. It is done. Of these, AlCu is preferably used. The thickness of the coating layer is about several hundred nm to several μm in order to effectively prevent silver migration.

As long as the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, respectively, the entire surface of the electrode may not be in contact with the semiconductor layer. The part may not be located on the first semiconductor layer and / or part of the second electrode may be located on the second semiconductor layer. That is, for example, the first electrode may be disposed on the second semiconductor layer via an insulating film or the like, or the second electrode may be disposed on the first semiconductor layer. Thereby, since the shape of a 1st electrode or a 2nd electrode can be changed easily, it can mount in a pair of connecting terminal easily.

The insulating film here is not particularly limited, and may be either a single layer film or a laminated film used in this field. By using an insulating film or the like, the first electrode and the second electrode can be set to an arbitrary size and position regardless of the plane area of the first semiconductor layer and / or the second semiconductor layer.

The shape of the first electrode and the second electrode is the shape of the semiconductor laminate, the connection terminal of the substrate (particularly, the convex portion)
It can be set according to the shape of the. It is preferable that each of the first electrode, the second electrode, and the connection terminal (particularly the convex portion) has a square shape in plan view or a shape close thereto. This
Due to the self-alignment effect, the semiconductor laminate and the substrate can be easily joined and aligned. In this case, it is preferable that the planar shapes of the first electrode and the second electrode are substantially the same at least on the outermost surface of the semiconductor stacked body connected to the substrate. Moreover, it is preferable that the first electrode and the second electrode are arranged so as to face each other across the central portion of the semiconductor stacked body.

The first main surface (surface opposite to the semiconductor layer) of the first electrode and the second electrode may have a step, but is preferably substantially flat. Here, the term “flat” refers to the height from the second main surface (the surface opposite to the first main surface) of the semiconductor stacked body to the first main surface of the first electrode, and the second main surface of the semiconductor stacked body to the second main surface. It means that the height to the 1st main surface of 2 electrodes is substantially the same. Here, “substantially the same” allows a variation of about ± 10% of the height of the semiconductor stacked body.

As described above, the first main surfaces of the first electrode and the second electrode are substantially flat, that is, by substantially disposing them on the same surface, it becomes easy to mount the light emitting element horizontally on the substrate. In order to form such a 1st electrode and a 2nd electrode, it can implement | achieve by providing a metal film by plating etc. on an electrode, for example, and polishing or cutting so that it may become flat after that.

A DBR (distributed Bragg reflector) layer or the like may be disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer in a range that does not hinder the electrical connection therebetween. Good.
The DBR has a multilayer structure in which a low refractive index layer and a high refractive index layer are laminated on an underlayer arbitrarily formed of an oxide film, for example, and selectively reflects light having a predetermined wavelength. Specifically, a predetermined wavelength can be reflected with high efficiency by alternately laminating films having different refractive indexes with a thickness of ¼ wavelength. As a material, it can be formed including at least one oxide or nitride selected from the group consisting of Si, Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta, and Al.

(Melting member)
In the light-emitting element, the first electrode and the second electrode are usually joined to the connection terminal of the substrate described above by the meltable member, in particular, on the convex portion, and in some cases, further on the side surface of the convex portion. For such a meltable member, any material known in the art can be used. Examples of the meltable member include materials that can be melted by heating, for example, solders such as tin-bismuth, tin-copper, tin-silver, and gold-tin, and brazing materials such as low melting point metals. In particular, by using solder, the light-emitting element can be easily mounted in place by the self-alignment effect, the mass productivity can be improved, and a smaller light-emitting device can be manufactured.
The meltable member covers at least the upper surface of the convex portion. The meltable member may cover a part or all of the side surface of the convex portion and further the first main surface of the connection terminal around the convex portion.

(Light reflective member)
The light reflective member is a member having light reflectivity and a function of covering, fixing, or sealing at least the light emitting element.
