Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for producing a crystal-like crystal structure, and more particularly to a manufacturing method for use in a light-emitting element to improve external light extraction efficiency. [Prior Art] Solid-state light-emitting elements such as High _ Brightness Light Emitting diodes (BH-LEDs) or Laser Diodes (LDs) have low power consumption and low heat generation. It has long operating life, impact resistance, small volume, fast reaction speed, and good photoelectric characteristics such as color light with stable wavelength. Therefore, it is often used in the application of indicator lights and optoelectronic products for home appliances and meters. With the advancement of optoelectronic technology, solid-state light-emitting components have made great progress in improving luminous efficiency, service life, and brightness, and will become the mainstream of future light-emitting components in the near future. Taking a light-emitting diode as an example, the basic structure includes a substrate, a buffer layer formed on the substrate, an N-type semiconductor layer formed on the buffer layer, an active layer covering the N-ray semiconductor layer, and a top layer formed on the active layer. a p-type semiconductor layer and a contact electrode layer electrically connected to the two semiconductor layers, respectively. The luminous efficacy of the light-emitting diode depends on the two main factors of the internal quantum efficiency (Internal Quantum Efficiency) and the external light extraction efficiency (Extraction Efficiency) of the active layer or the electro-luminescence layer. With the advancement of various epitaxial technologies, the intrinsic luminous efficiency can reach over 80%, but the light extraction efficiency of the LED is still low. For example, a gallium nitride-based material has a refractive index of about 2.5, and the outside air has a refractive index of 1 ' due to total reflection, resulting in only about 1 (M2%) at the interface of the nitrided 201225331 gallium-based material and air. Light is taken out. As for improving the efficiency of external light extraction, conventional techniques such as Taiwan Publication No. 200832740 "Light Emitting Diode Structure and Manufacturing Method" use lithography, etching processes, and anodizing techniques (or electron beams). Bombardment) A two-dimensional photocrystal structure having a (periodic) nano-scale lattice coefficient is formed on the surface of the substrate, and the photo-crystal structure can effectively improve the epitaxial quality and increase the internal quantum luminescence efficiency. The forming process of the crystal structure is as follows: 1. The upper photoresist is on the surface of the substrate; 2. The photoresist layer having the exposed area and the non-exposed area is formed by exposure (lithography process); 3. The developing process, the photoresist of the exposed area Layer removal; 4, hard bake process to facilitate subsequent processes; 5, using wet etching (or dry etching, polishing, electron beam, ion beam, etc.) to substrate Surface etching to form a substrate having a periodic hole pitch; 6. depositing a buffer layer, which can serve as a buffer layer for subsequent periodic holes; ^ Subsequently, using a forged film deposition technique (eg, evaporation, sputtering, Plasma gas phase % product, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, hot dip bond) a metal film on the substrate and fill the hole; _, then use the anode treatment (an〇dizati〇n The technique forms a periodic nano-scale porous oxidized metal thin film pattern on the same surface of the substrate and the hole to form a light-like crystal structure. The above-mentioned steps can produce a light-like crystal structure for improving the epitaxial quality and increasing the internal quantum. Luminous efficiency, and solve the problem of total reflection of light 201225331 between the substrate and the insect layer and reduce the lateral light leakage along the interface, which can effectively improve the external light extraction efficiency of the LED; however, the above technology The process is complicated, time-consuming and costly. Therefore, there is a great need for a simple, fast and cost-effective method for forming a light-like crystal structure in a light-emitting element. The present invention provides a method for fabricating a crystal-like crystal structure, and provides a manufacturing method which is applied to a light-emitting element, has a simple process and can improve external light extraction efficiency, and is a main object thereof. To achieve the above object, the present invention The manufacturing method is performed by using a molecular beam epitaxy to form a plurality of vertically arranged and periodically arranged nano columns on a substrate, wherein the height of each nano column is greater than 0. Ιμιη, and then chemical vapor deposition is performed on the surface of each nano column. Forming a nitride semiconductor buffer layer, and forming an air gap between the nitride semiconductor buffer layer and each of the nano columns, forming a light-emitting element on the surface of the nitride semiconductor buffer layer, and forming a light-like crystal structure by each air gap The external light extraction efficiency is improved by suppressing the total reflection effect of the light-emitting element. [Embodiment] The features of the present invention can be clearly understood by referring to the detailed description of the drawings and the embodiments. The present invention mainly provides a method for fabricating a light-like crystal structure, as shown in the first figure, which comprises at least the following steps: Step A, providing a substrate 11, as shown in the second figure (Α), the substrate 11 may be Sapphire, zinc oxide, gallium nitride, tantalum carbide, quartz, tantalum, lithium aluminate or spinel; 201225331 Step B, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) ' can be 700~800 °C In the environment, the front surface of the substrate is formed with a plurality of vertically arranged and periodically arranged nano-pillars 12, as shown in the second figure (B). The nano-pillars 12 may be III-V (three-five) semiconductors. The material, such as a gallium nitride material, has a height greater than 〇·ΐμιη for each nanocolumn 12, and is more compatible with the interface between the nano-pillars 12 and the substrate 11 'the front surface of the substrate 111 and each of the nano-pillars 12 Further, a buffer film layer 14 is provided, wherein the buffer film layer 14 may be an aluminum nitride material; Step C, performing chemical vapor deposition [may be metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (M0CVD)] 】, on the surface of each nano column 12 Vapor deposition is performed to form a nitride semiconductor buffer layer 13 laterally, and as shown in FIG. 2C, the nitride semiconductor buffer layer 13 may be an mV (three-five) semiconductor material such as a gallium nitride material. The growth temperature can be 10〇(Ml〇〇〇C, which is 1〇~2〇 minutes for a long time. When performing lateral epitaxy, please refer to the third figure at the same time, because of the difference between each nano-gui 12 The gap 121 is small in area, and in the process of lateral epitaxy, it is often impossible to make the stray crystal reach the surface of the gap 121 between the nano-pillars 12, and the nano-column 12 is used as a seed for homogenous epitaxy. The nitride semiconductor buffer layer 13 is successively grown on each of the green layers 12, and a little laterally deposited on the edge of the gap 121, and the nitride semiconductor buffer layer 13 and each of the nanoparticles are formed with an air gap 122 ^ Step D, the nitrogen The light-emitting element is formed on the surface of the buffer layer 13 of the compound semiconductor as shown in FIG. 4, and is provided with an undoped semiconductor layer 15, a first-type doped semiconductor layer 16, a light-emitting layer 17, and a second-type doped semiconductor layer 18. And the first and second electrodes 191 and 192 are respectively provided In the first and second types of doped semiconductor layers 16, 18 on the upper surface of the body layers 16, 18. In the present invention, by forming a light-like crystal structure by each air gap, the light emitted by the light-emitting element to be totally reflected can be destroyed to suppress total reflection. The effect is to allow a part of the light originally lost by the internal total reflection to be emitted, thereby improving the external light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting element. In the present invention, the NP-LED is measured by a light output-current-voltage (Liv) system. The luminous efficiency of the light-emitting element having a light-like crystal structure and the C-LED (general light-emitting element) formed by the invention is as shown in the fifth figure. It can be clearly seen from the fifth figure that the NP-LED has better luminous efficiency than C_LED. For example, when the input current is 20 mA, the NP-LED has a luminous efficiency 55% higher than that of the C-LED. Displaying a light crystal structure helps to improve the luminous efficiency of the light emitting element. The luminescence efficiency of NP-LEDs and C-LEDs was tested by finite difference time domain method (FDTD), and the results are shown in the sixth figure. It is apparent from the sixth figure that the luminous efficiency of the NP-LED is better than that of the c-LED, and the luminous efficiency of the NP-LED is 48. 4% higher than that of the C-LED. It is also shown that the crystal-like structure contributes to the improvement of the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting element. φ Of course, the temperature reduction process may be performed after the step C, as shown in the seventh figure, when the ambient temperature drops to about room temperature, due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the substrate 11 and each nano column 12 heterogeneous material, The separation is naturally performed at the weakest inter-interface strength, that is, for example, a fracture occurs at each of the nano-pillars 12, and the nitride semiconductor buffer layer 13 is separated from the surface of the substrate 11. As described above, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a photo-crystal structure of a preferred viable crystallographic structure. The technical content and technical features of the present invention are disclosed above. However, those skilled in the art may still be based on The invention is not to be construed as being limited or modified by the spirit of the invention.
