INSTRUCTIONS: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method of dicing a light-emitting diode die. [Prior Art] Hard and brittle materials such as germanium wafers, glass and sapphire are increasingly used in semiconductors, liquid crystal televisions, and light-emitting diodes. The industry often requires cutting or surface microstructure processing on hard and brittle materials. In general, cutting is divided into laser cutting and diamond cutting. Both cutting modes have their own advantages and disadvantages. Laser cutting is a photothermal processing mechanism. During the cutting process, hard and brittle materials are prone to cracks due to high temperature, because they do not utilize natural fracture of crystals. Surface, so there are cracks on the surface, and the crystal grains are easily affected by laser heating, which affects the power of rotation, and the yield is low, but the price is cheap. The diamond cutting is used for high hardness materials such as sapphire and diamond knife. It is easy to wear, and the cutting time and the wear rate of the grinding wheel are more than ten times higher than that of the traditional quaternary light-emitting diode. It has been slowly eliminated under the cost consideration. At present, the process of manufacturing a light-emitting diode die from a sapphire substrate is as follows. First, a sapphire substrate having a thickness of 43 〇Mm is provided. Next, an epitaxial process is performed on the sapphire substrate. Further, in order to facilitate the cutting, the epitaxial wafer was ground to a thickness of 90 to 1 〇 0 / zm. Then, the action of cutting, splitting, and cleaning is performed from the front surface of the light-emitting diode crystal. The light-emitting diode crystals produced by the conventional process have a thickness of 9 〇 ym. However, it has been found from the study that when the grain thickness is doubled, the internal light extraction efficiency (int(10)al light extracti〇n efficiency) can be effectively increased, and the grain package brightness is increased by 1 〇 15%. However, it is limited by the current 200903836 industry's cutting technology in the middle grain processing, that is, the use of special laser cutting method 'depth can only reach 50~70# m, if diamond cutting method, because sapphire hardness is second only to diamond, Diamond knives are easily worn out, and T has been slowly eliminated in cost considerations. So how to increase the thickness of the diodes under the existing technical constraints is the difficulty that the industry has to overcome. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the invention is to provide a method for radiant cutting of a light-emitting diode, thereby increasing the thickness of the light-emitting diode grains and effectively improving the package brightness.

Then, cutting, cleaving, and cleaning were performed from the front surface of the light-emitting diode crystal grains to obtain light-emitting diode crystal grains having a thickness of 200 to 4 mm. The method for cutting a light-emitting diode of the present invention can increase the thickness of the light-emitting diodes and the crystal grains, thereby increasing the internal light extraction efficiency, effectively improving the size of the substrate, and omitting the process of thinning the substrate.
