Description of the invention (l) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a light emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode; LED) wafer structure and a method for manufacturing the same, and particularly relates to an aluminum gallium indium phosphide (A1 Gal nP) Structure of light emitting diode and manufacturing method thereof. [Previous technology] The traditional aluminum gallium indium light-emitting diode has a double heterostructure (Double Heterostructure; DH). Its structure is shown in Figure 5. It is a η-type gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate (Substrate ) 52, a buffer layer 54 is formed first, and then a cladding layer 58 with an aluminum content of 70% to 100% η-type (AlxGaH) 0.5 · η 〇 0.5P, and a (AlxGa χ) 〇 5Ιη () · 5P active layer 60, a 1) type (eight 1 such as 1]) () 51] 1. 5% cladding layer 62 on top of 5?

Layer) 64,這一層的材料可以是磷化鎵、磷砷化鎵、磷化 銦鎵或碎化銘鎵等。 藉著改變活性層6 0的組成,便可以改變發光二極體發 光波長,使其產生從6 5 0nm紅色至55 5nm純綠色的波長。但 此一傳統的發光二極體有一缺點,就是活性層產生的光, 往下入射至石申化鎵基板5 2時,由於石申化蘇基板5 2的能隙較⑩ 小,此入射至砷化鎵基板5 2的光將會被吸收掉,而無法 產生高效率的發光二極體。 為了避免基板54的吸光,傳統上有一些文獻揭露出Layer 64. The material of this layer can be gallium phosphide, gallium phosphide arsenide, indium gallium phosphide, or broken gallium. By changing the composition of the active layer 60, it is possible to change the wavelength of light emitted by the light emitting diode so that it produces a wavelength from 650 nm red to 55 5 nm pure green. However, this conventional light-emitting diode has a disadvantage, that is, the light generated by the active layer enters the Shishenhua gallium substrate 5 2 downwards, because the energy gap of the Shishenhua Su substrate 5 2 is smaller than ⑩, this incident to The light of the gallium arsenide substrate 52 will be absorbed, and a high-efficiency light-emitting diode cannot be generated. In order to avoid the light absorption of the substrate 54, some literatures have been disclosed conventionally.

Revealed a method of adding a distributed Bragg reflector 54 (Distributed Bragg Reflector; DBR) to arsenic The gallium substrate is used to reflect the light incident on the apocalypse substrate and reduce the absorption of the apocalypse substrate. However, since the DBR reflective layer 54 can effectively reflect only light that is incident on the gallium arsenide substrate perpendicularly, the effect is not significant. Not big.

However, the disadvantage of this TS A 1 Gal nP LED is that the manufacturing process is too complicated, and usually has a high resistance characteristic of a non-ohmic contact at the bonding interface. Therefore, it is impossible to obtain a high production yield and it is difficult to reduce the manufacturing cost. Another traditional technique, such as Horng et al. [Appl.

The first ohmic contact metal electrode layer is connected to the first metal nail line electrode layer through an electrode connection channel, and the second metal nail line electrode layer is above the second ohmic contact metal electrode layer. The first metal nail electrode layer and the second metal nail electrode layer are located on the same side of the substrate with high thermal conductivity and high reflectivity. And because there are electrode connection channels, the first metal nail electrode layer and the second metal nail electrode layer have the same height level.

Description of the invention (5) In addition, the present invention further provides a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned light emitting diode. First, a light emitting diode epitaxial stacked layer is sequentially formed on a temporary substrate, and then a first ohmic contact metal electrode layer and a high reflectivity metal layer are formed on the uppermost layer of the epitaxial stacked layer. Next, by using an adhesive layer, such as a metal adhesive layer, such as a metal such as In, Au, or Ag, or a resin such as BCB (B-staged bisbenzocyclobutene; BCB), the high reflectance on the light emitting diode epitaxial layer is high. The metal reflective layer is combined with a non-conductive dielectric layer on a highly thermally conductive substrate, and then the temporary substrate and the etch stop layer of the light emitting diode are removed. Tightly, two-stage etching is performed. In the first stage, an electrode connection channel is formed, and a channel having a width of about 1 to 3 m 1 1 s is etched to the first ohmic contact metal electrode layer for contacting the first ohmic contact. The metal electrode layers are in communication. The second stage is isolated trench or island etching, with an etching width of about 0.2-lniil, and etching or all of the first conductivity type stupid crystal layer. The current of the first ohmic contact metal electrode will flow through the activation layer to the second ohmic contact metal electrode layer. Next, a first metal nail line electrode layer is formed, and the first metal nail line electrode layer and the first ohmic contact are formed. The dot metal electrode layers are in communication. Finally, a second ohmic point metal electrode layer and a second metal nail line electrode layer are formed. An advantage of the present invention is to use an isolated trench or isolated island method, so that the first metal nailed wire electrode layer and the second metal nailed wire electrode layer are on the same side and at the same height.

Description of the invention (8) In the present invention, the preferred material of the etching stop layer 22 may be indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) or aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs). The etching rate of the cladding layer 20 under the N-type aluminum gallium indium phosphide in this embodiment is also much lower than that of the gallium arsenide substrate 24. Therefore, as long as the thickness is thick, another epitaxial layer with a different composition may not be required as the last-cut layer. Next, the structure shown in FIG. 2 is provided. The structure includes an adhesive layer 44, a dielectric layer 42, and a highly thermally conductive substrate 40. The adhesive layer 44 may be a metal adhesive layer, such as a metal or non-metal adhesive layer such as η, Au, or Ag, such as a BCB (B-staged bisbenzocyclobutene; BCB) resin. The highly thermally conductive substrate 40 may be one of a Si wafer, a SiC wafer, a GaP wafer, or an Au, Al, Cu metal, or the like, and a high-reflectivity metal j, then It may be one of Ag, Abu Au, and the like. Next, the light-emitting monopolar wafer on which the P-type ohmic contact metal electrode layer 30 has been formed in FIG. 1 and the south conductive and high reflectivity substrate 4 in FIG. 2 are adhered together by the adhesive layer 44 and adhered well. The epitaxial wafer is then etched with an etching solution (such as 5H3P04: 3H2O2: 3H2O or INZβΗ: 35H2O2) to remove the opaque n-type gallium arsenide substrate 24. If the etching stop layer 22 is made of InGaP or A 1 GaAs, it will still absorb light generated from the active layer 18. Therefore, it is also necessary to completely remove the residual liquid, or to leave only the portion in contact with the N-type ohmic contact metal electrode layer 36.

Finally, annealing is performed so that the N-type ohmic contact metal electrode layer 34 forms a good ohmic contact with the lower cladding layer 20 and the P ohmic contact electrode 30 and the p-type ohmic contact stupid layer. θ The above sequence of steps is not intended to limit the present invention, and anyone skilled in the relevant arts can adjust the above sequence of steps. For example, the formation step of the isolation trench & or isolation island 3 8 B can be moved to the formation of two metal nailed electrode layers 36 and then performed without changing the diode structure of the present invention. The wavelength of light emitted by the dished aluminum gallium indium light-emitting diode obtained according to the present invention is about 6 3 5 nm, and its light output power is about ImW under an operating current of 20 m Α, which is a traditional absorption substrate The light output power of aluminum gallium indium light emitting diode is more than twice. The present invention is not limited to high-brightness aluminum gallium indium light-emitting diodes. The present invention can also be applied to other light-emitting diode materials, such as aluminum gallium arsenide red and infrared light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting diode of the present invention uses an adhesive layer 44 to join the light-emitting diode and a substrate with high thermal conductivity and high reflectivity 40. Therefore, even if the surface of the light-emitting diode is uneven, it can be used. The adhesive layer 4 4 tightly bonds them together. There will not be the entire silver engraved area. (1) The method of isolating trenches and isolating islands will make the surface rough, making it difficult to identify the package.
