Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a light emitting device chip and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a light emitting device chip and a method for manufacturing the light extraction efficiency can be improved.
Typically, a light emitting device is manufactured by growing a gallium nitride (GaN) crystal into a thin film. However, gallium nitride substrates, which are homogeneous substrates, are very difficult to manufacture and are very expensive, making them impossible to apply to practical industries. Accordingly, such nitride based light emitting devices are mostly grown on heterogeneous substrates. Sapphire, silicon carbide (SiC), gallium arsenide (GaAs) and the like are used as the dissimilar substrates, and among these dissimilar substrates, sapphire substrates are most widely used.

As an example of this, a technique for increasing light extraction efficiency by processing a side surface of a light emitting device chip into a three-dimensional shape having a predetermined angle has been disclosed (Cree, US Patent No. 7,419,912B2, published on Sep. 2, 2008). However, such a conventional chip structure has a limitation in improving the escape efficiency of light since the formation of opposite sides of the chip is all symmetrical.

In order to achieve the above object, a light emitting device chip according to an aspect of the present invention, in a light emitting device chip including a plurality of side surfaces, at least one pair of opposing side surfaces may be asymmetric with each other.
In addition, the method of manufacturing a light emitting device chip according to another aspect of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a single light emitting device chip by separating a plurality of light emitting devices formed on a substrate, respectively, at least one on each of the front and rear surfaces of the substrate Forming at least one groove line at intervals for determining the size of the single light emitting device chip, wherein at least one groove line on the front surface and at least one groove line on the back surface are arranged to be mutually offset; And chip breaking between the at least one groove line and at least one at least one groove line of the rear surface, thereby manufacturing a single light emitting device chip having at least one pair of opposite sides asymmetric with each other. The groove line can then be formed by scribing, which can also be chemically etched. In this case, the chemical etching is at least one selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ), phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ), calcium hydroxide (KOH), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO 4 ). Can be Further, the groove line may have a depth of 5 μm or more and may be 1/2 or less of the thickness of the substrate. In addition, the distance in the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction of the chip to be offset may be as follows:
10㎛ ≤ S 1 ≤ L 1/ 2
10㎛ ≤ S 2 ≤ L 2/ 2 Equation 1
(At this time, S 1 is the offset distance in the chip transverse direction, S 2 is the offset distance in the chip longitudinal direction, L 1 is the vertical length of the chip, and L 2 is the horizontal length of the chip).
The light emitting device chip according to the present invention is formed so that at least a pair of opposite sides thereof are asymmetric with each other, so that the light extraction efficiency of light generated in the active layer is improved, thereby improving light extraction efficiency. In addition, stable braking operation is possible regardless of the thickness of the substrate.
In the light emitting device chip according to the present invention, at least one pair of opposite sides thereof is formed in an asymmetrical structure with each other. Accordingly, the escape of light generated in the active layer in the light emitting device is easy, and the light extraction efficiency can be greatly improved.

Then, by using a laser scribing method, a groove having a depth of about 100 μm was formed on the back of the substrate, and a groove having a depth of about 20 μm was formed on the entire surface of the substrate. The distance between the groove lines on the front and back surfaces was set to 1000 µm in both the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction, and the groove lines on the front surface of the substrate were formed with an offset distance of 100 µm compared to the groove lines on the substrate back surface. Subsequently, the substrate was placed in a mixture of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid (3: 1) at 300 ° C, and etching was performed until the residue was completely removed and a sufficient inclined surface was formed. After sufficient etching, the SiO 2 film formed on the substrate was removed, the nitride semiconductor was grown on the sapphire substrate according to a conventional method, and then device fabrication was performed.

Designed according to In the conventional nitride light emitting device as a comparative example, the sapphire thickness was assumed to be 100 μm under the above-described conditions. 5A shows the structure of the nitride light emitting device according to the present embodiment used in the simulation, and FIG. 5B shows the structure of the nitride light emitting device according to the comparative example used in the simulation. The light extraction efficiency thus measured is shown in Table 1 below:

And SiO 2 on the upper surface of the nitride semiconductor layer. A dielectric material for masking chemical etching, etc. was deposited over 300 µm, and a pattern for scribing and chemical etching was formed using a semiconductor lithography method. After forming a groove having a depth of about 20㎛ using a high-power laser, it was placed in a mixture of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid (3: 1) at about 300 ℃ to remove the residue formed during the scribing process to form the inclined surface of the groove line. After removing the dielectric masking material formed on the front and back of the sapphire, a light emitting device was manufactured according to a conventional nitride light emitting device process. The final light emitting device chip had a structure in which opposite sides were double symmetrical as in Example 1.

As in Example 1, SiO 2 masking material was deposited on the front and rear surfaces of the substrate, and a pattern for scribing and chemical etching was formed on the front and rear surfaces of the substrate using a semiconductor lithography process. Then, after forming a groove having a depth of about 20㎛ using a high-power laser, it was placed in a mixture of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid (3: 1) of about 300 ℃ and removed the residue formed during the scribing process to form a groove line having an inclined surface. . After removing the dielectric masking material formed on the front and rear surfaces of the sapphire, a light emitting device was manufactured according to a conventional nitride light emitting device process.
