Description

Nano Light Emitting Diode or Micro Light Emitting Diode Structure and Method for Manufacturing the Same {NANO LIGHT EMITTING DIODES OR MICRO LIGHT EMITTING DIODES FABRICATED BY USING ION IMPLANTATION AND ITS FABRICATING METHOD}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a nano light emitting diode or a micro light emitting diode, wherein a nanostructure is formed in an active region, and a nanomask or a micromask is formed at the top of an epi (p-GaN). Thereafter, a portion without a pattern is selectively formed by using ion implantation or plasma doping. At this time, the portion generated by the ion implantation or plasma doping method is at least one of Si, Te, Zn, Mg, Ca, Ar, Be, O, Au, Ti, C, H, He, Si, Al, In, B Ions are formed using plasma, and the light generated in the active layer intersects with the region formed by ion implantation or plasma doping. At this time, the light is totally reflected because the refractive index is different. The totally reflected light escapes to the outside, and since a lot of light is reflected to the outside of the LED chip without the internal loss of light, it is a technology that can realize a high efficiency LED.

Generally, a light emitting diode is a semiconductor device that emits light based on recombination of electrons and holes, and is widely used as a light source in various forms in optical communication and electronic devices. GaN in the compound is spotlighted as a compound for manufacturing a blue light emitting diode device.

White light emitting diodes using semiconductors have been spotlighted as one of the next generation light emitting devices that can replace the existing light emitting devices due to their long lifespan, miniaturization, and low voltage driving.

Conventional methods for manufacturing such white light emitting diodes include a method using all three color (red, green, blue) light emitting diodes. However, the manufacturing cost is high and the size of the product is increased due to the complexity of the driving circuit. have.

In addition, a white LED in which yellow-green phosphor is combined with an InGaN-based blue LED having a blue wavelength has been put to practical use, and part of the blue light generated from the blue LED excites the yellow-green phosphor to generate yellow-green color. It is synthesized and composed of the principle of emitting white light.

However, the light of a white LED, which combines a blue LED with a yellow-green phosphor, has only a part of the spectrum of visible light, and thus has a low color rendering index and thus does not have a proper color representation. Since the wavelength of the blue LED is about 450 nm, the chip efficiency is low, and thus, the luminous efficiency of the white LED is low.

In addition, as a novel LED manufacturing method, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a nano light emitting diode or a micro light emitting diode, wherein a nanostructure is formed in an active region, and a nano mask or a micro mask is formed at the top of an epi (p-GaN). . Thereafter, a portion without a pattern is selectively formed by using ion implantation or plasma doping. At this time, the portion generated by the ion implantation or plasma doping method was formed using a metal other than Al, In, B, and the light generated in the active layer intersects the region formed by the ion implantation or plasma doping method. At this time, the light is totally reflected because the refractive index is different. The totally reflected light escapes to the outside, and since a lot of light is reflected to the outside of the LED chip without the internal loss of light, it is a technology that can realize a high efficiency LED.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a nano light emitting diode or a micro light emitting diode in an existing light emitting diode structure, which proposes a new method for implementing a white light according to the prior art, and forms a nano structure in an active region, and a nano mask or a micro mask. Is formed at the top of Epi (p-GaN). Thereafter, a portion without a pattern is selectively formed by using ion implantation or plasma doping. At this time, the portion generated by the ion implantation or plasma doping method is at least one of Si, Te, Zn, Mg, Ca, Ar, Be, O, Au, Ti, C, H, He, Si, Al, In, B Ions are formed using plasma, and the light generated in the active layer intersects with the region formed by ion implantation or plasma doping. At this time, the light is totally reflected because the refractive index is different. The totally reflected light escapes to the outside, and since a lot of light is reflected to the outside of the LED chip without the internal loss of light, it is a technology that can realize a high efficiency LED.

In ion implantation or plasma doping, reactive ions are used, wherein at least one of Si, Te, Zn, Mg, Ca, Ar, Be, O, Au, Ti, C, H, He, Si, Al, In, B One reactive ion is a method of forming each nanostructure or microstructure using plasma. In this case, the refractive indexes of GaN and ion implantation or plasma doped regions are different, and thus light emitting diodes having higher optical characteristics can be manufactured.

The light emitting diode structure according to the present invention for achieving the above object comprises a substrate and an active layer formed between the n-GaN layer and p-GaN layer to form a pattern using nano or micro mask.

In the conventional light emitting diode, the light emitting diode has a structure in which the light generated in the active layer escapes upward. However, light emitting diodes with nanostructures are made to shine from the top as well as from the side. This may result in an increase in luminance than a conventional light emitting diode. However, there is a difficulty in manufacturing a light emitting diode having a nano structure, one of which is to form an insulating layer between the nano structure and the nano structure. In the present invention, it is expected that the nano-light emitting diode can be more easily manufactured by forming an insulating layer by using an ion implantation or plasma doping method.

1 is a view for explaining a method of manufacturing a structure of a light emitting diode according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, GaN having an LED structure is grown on a sapphire substrate by using MQCVD (metal organic chemical vator deposition), and then a pattern is formed on the p-GaN layer using a nanomask or a micro mask. Thereafter, at least one reactive ion among Si, Te, Zn, Mg, Ca, Ar, Be, O, Au, Ti, C, H, He, Si, Al, In, and B is applied to the nanopattern or micropattern using plasma. To form a pattern using ion implantation or plasma doping. After that, the transparent electrode layer n, p electrode is formed to manufacture the LED.

In more detail, the present invention is a nano-sized pattern or a micro-sized pattern on the top of the light emitting diode substrate (gallium nitride, gallium arsenide) used to date at least of the round, square, triangular, hexagonal shape One pattern is formed. Thereafter, ion implantation or plasma doping is performed on the formed nanomasks or micromasks, and ion implantation or doping is changed based on GaN having a different refractive index from GaN. In this case, ion implantation or plasma doping uses reactive ions, and at least one of Si, Te, Zn, Mg, Ca, Ar, Be, O, Au, Ti, C, H, He, Si, Al, In, and B. Ion implant or dope reactive ions.

A transparent electrode layer is formed after the layer formed by ion implantation or plasma doping. Thereafter, n and p electrodes are formed to form a light emitting diode.

From the p-GaN layer to the n-GaN layer, an active layer having a nano structure or a micro structure forms a single chip structure that is independent of each other to emit light.

Between the fabricated nanostructures using a plasma doping method to form a structure with a different refractive index.

One of conical or triangular, square, hexagonal structures, and the nano- or micro-structured active region emits the upper front light emitting light from the side of the light emitting area.

When light escapes to the outside, total internal reflection occurs due to the difference in refractive index between ion implantation or plasma-doped portion, and light is emitted to the p-GaN portion, which is able to escape without being destroyed by the internal reflection. It has the feature to manufacture a diode.

The structure of the light emitting diode according to the present invention will be described in more detail. In a light emitting diode including a substrate and an active layer formed between an n-GaN layer and a p-GaN layer, the light emitting diode has a structure of a general light emitting diode, and the nano Or a pattern is formed using a micro mask.

When fabricating the above structure, the remaining parts except nano mask or micro masked part should be in the form of insulated with high refractive index by using ion implantation or plasma doping method.

In addition, the ion implanted or plasma doped part should be formed of an insulator, and the insulating layer should not be shorted in the epi state because the nano structure or the micro structure is insulated in the Epi state.

In the epi structure manufactured by ion implantation or plasma doping method, the current should flow through the upper p-GaN part where the insulating layer is not formed by ion implantation or plasma doping method using a transparent electrode.

Light is generated in the fabricated light emitting area, and the generated light must have a larger escape area of the active layer than a conventional light emitting diode.

When light escapes to the outside, total internal reflection occurs due to the difference in refractive index between ion implantation or plasma-doped portion, and light is emitted to the p-GaN portion, which is able to escape without being destroyed by the internal reflection. It has the feature to manufacture a diode.
