Description

發光元件及其製造方法 Light-emitting element and method of manufacturing same

本發明係關於一種發光元件及其製造方法。 The present invention relates to a light-emitting element and a method of manufacturing the same.

按,以發光二極體(LED)或有機EL(OLED)為代表之半導體發光元件係作為顯示器及照明用途之光源,為追求高亮度,一般採用的是使用在表面形成有微米尺寸之凹凸之藍寶石基板(PSS:圖案化藍寶石基板)來提高光取出效率之方法。LED之性能係以外部量子效率(EQE)表示,其為內部量子效率(IQE)、電子注入效率(EIE)、及光取出效率(LEE)之積(IQE×EIE×LEE)。GaN基板LED具有無晶格應變而在界面不發生晶體缺陷、且作為導電性基板散熱性良好之優點,故IQE×EIE之值非常優異。然而,GaN之折射率在波長455nm時有2.5之大,所發出之光在GaN與空氣之界面有80%以上全反射而內部消失,故光取出效率差。作為提高該光取出效率之新的方法,業界曾介紹一種在光取出層形成具有光之波長程度之週期的光子晶體週期性結構之技術。光子晶體週期性結構係形成在具有不同折射率之2個結構體的界面處,一般而言主要為具有柱結構或孔結構之凹凸。而且,已知悉在形成有該週期性結構之區域內因禁止光之存在從而抑制全反射,藉由利用此點有助於提高光取出效率(參照專利文獻1)。 According to the semiconductor light-emitting element represented by a light-emitting diode (LED) or an organic EL (OLED), as a light source for display and illumination purposes, in order to achieve high brightness, it is generally used to form a micron-sized unevenness on the surface. A sapphire substrate (PSS: patterned sapphire substrate) to improve light extraction efficiency. The performance of the LED is expressed by external quantum efficiency (EQE), which is the product of internal quantum efficiency (IQE), electron injection efficiency (EIE), and light extraction efficiency (LEE) (IQE × EIE × LEE). Since the GaN substrate LED has no lattice strain and does not cause crystal defects at the interface, and has excellent heat dissipation properties as a conductive substrate, the value of IQE × EIE is extremely excellent. However, the refractive index of GaN is 2.5 at a wavelength of 455 nm, and the emitted light is totally reflected by 80% or more at the interface between GaN and air, and disappears internally, so that the light extraction efficiency is poor. As a new method for improving the efficiency of light extraction, a technique for forming a periodic structure of a photonic crystal having a period of a wavelength of light in a light extraction layer has been described. The periodic structure of the photonic crystal is formed at the interface of two structures having different refractive indices, and is generally mainly a concavity and convexity having a column structure or a pore structure. Further, it is known that the total light emission is suppressed in the region where the periodic structure is formed, thereby suppressing total reflection, and the use of this point contributes to an improvement in light extraction efficiency (see Patent Document 1).

在下述專利文獻2中所記載之發光元件,其主要之光取出面係形成為n型半導體層之覆晶結構,在其背面製作具有2段以上之傾斜面的凹部從而改善光取出效率。再者,以使光高效率地出射至凹部上方之 方式控制配光性。 In the light-emitting element described in the following Patent Document 2, the main light extraction surface is formed into a flip-chip structure of an n-type semiconductor layer, and a concave portion having two or more inclined surfaces is formed on the back surface thereof to improve light extraction efficiency. Furthermore, the light is efficiently emitted above the concave portion The way to control the light distribution.

於專利文獻2所記載之發光元件中製作的具有2段以上之傾斜面的凹部,因需要精密地控制各傾斜面之角度與凹部底面之大小,故存在製造步驟變得複雜等之問題。 In the concave portion having two or more inclined surfaces produced in the light-emitting element described in Patent Document 2, since it is necessary to precisely control the angle of each inclined surface and the size of the bottom surface of the concave portion, there is a problem that the manufacturing steps become complicated.

本發明之實施形態提供一種發光元件及其製造方法,該發光元件係關於一種在GaN基板之表面(側)具有反射膜、在GaN基板背面(側)具有包含具不同折射率之2個結構體之光子晶體週期性結構者,且上述之光子晶體週期性結構,自其GaN基板背面之光取出效率高且配光性優異。 An embodiment of the present invention provides a light-emitting element having a reflective film on a surface (side) of a GaN substrate and two structures including different refractive indices on a back surface (side) of the GaN substrate. The periodic structure of the photonic crystal, and the periodic structure of the photonic crystal described above, has high light extraction efficiency and excellent light distribution from the back surface of the GaN substrate.

(第1實施形態) (First embodiment)

首先,說明本發明之第1實施形態之發光元件。 First, a light-emitting element according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

光子晶體週期性結構包含具不同折射率之2個結構體,且其週期性結構參數即週期a及半徑R係以在與波長λ之間滿足布拉格條件之關係之下而設計。在界面為複數時,各個光子晶體週期性結構係獨立設計之結構。 The periodic structure of the photonic crystal contains two structures having different refractive indices, and the periodic structural parameters, that is, the period a and the radius R are designed to satisfy the Bragg condition relationship with the wavelength λ. When the interface is complex, the periodic structure of each photonic crystal is an independently designed structure.

圖1顯示本實施形態之發光元件的一構成例之結構剖面圖(圖1(a))、及自背面側觀察之平面圖(圖1(b))。圖1所示之發光元件係GaN基板LED。圖1(a)所示之GaN基板LED自與GaN基板為相反側(表面側)起依次具有例如:Al反射膜1、ITO透明電極3、p型GaN層5、GaN活性層(發光層)7、n型GaN層11、GaN基板15、及光子晶體結構(phc)17。亦可存在AlGaN層。 Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a light-emitting device of the embodiment (Fig. 1(a)) and a plan view (Fig. 1(b)) as viewed from the back side. The light-emitting element shown in Fig. 1 is a GaN substrate LED. The GaN substrate LED shown in FIG. 1( a ) has, for example, an Al reflective film 1 , an ITO transparent electrode 3 , a p-type GaN layer 5 , and a GaN active layer (light emitting layer) from the opposite side (surface side) to the GaN substrate. 7. An n-type GaN layer 11, a GaN substrate 15, and a photonic crystal structure (phc) 17. An AlGaN layer may also be present.

該結構係主要之光取出面成為GaN基板15背面之覆晶結構,在該GaN基板15背面製作光子晶體結構17。如圖1(b)所示,光子晶體結構(phc)17形成在GaN基板15之背面15a,包含GaN柱結構17a與空氣17b。 In this structure, the main light extraction surface is a flip chip structure on the back surface of the GaN substrate 15, and a photonic crystal structure 17 is formed on the back surface of the GaN substrate 15. As shown in FIG. 1(b), a photonic crystal structure (phc) 17 is formed on the back surface 15a of the GaN substrate 15, and includes a GaN pillar structure 17a and air 17b.

此處,若設GaN柱結構17a之半徑為R、週期為a,則例如週期a與半徑R之比(R/a),係根據在波長λ之週期性結構中之光之透射與反射中,著眼於哪一者並將其最佳化而決定之值。 Here, if the radius of the GaN pillar structure 17a is R and the period is a, for example, the ratio of the period a to the radius R (R/a) is based on the transmission and reflection of light in the periodic structure of the wavelength λ. Focus on which one to optimize and determine the value.

例如若以在界面處使光之反射大於透射為目的時,R/a值係著眼於TE光而決定。此乃考量因TE光之電場易於積存於在週期性結構面內平行地存在之介電體之連結結構中,而在週期性結構參數與設計波長滿足布拉格條件時,在其電場面會因布拉格繞射而反射之故。 For example, if the reflection of light at the interface is greater than the transmission, the R/a value is determined by focusing on the TE light. This is because the electric field of TE light is easily accumulated in the joint structure of the dielectric body which exists in parallel in the periodic structure plane, and when the periodic structural parameters and the design wavelength satisfy the Bragg condition, the electric scene will be due to Prague. Diffraction and reflection.

相反地,週期a與半徑R之比(R/a)若以在界面處使光之透射大於反射為目的時,R/a值係著眼於TM光而決定。此乃考量因TM光之電場易於積存於在週期性結構面內垂直地存在之介電點,而在週期性結構參數與設計波長滿足布拉格條件時,在其電場面上會因布拉格繞射而反射,亦即相對於週期性結構面而透射之故。 Conversely, if the ratio of the period a to the radius R (R/a) is such that the transmission of light at the interface is greater than the reflection, the R/a value is determined by focusing on the TM light. This is because the electric field of TM light is easy to accumulate in the dielectric point vertically existing in the periodic structure plane, and when the periodic structure parameter and the design wavelength satisfy the Bragg condition, the electric field surface will be diffracted by Bragg. The reflection, that is, the transmission relative to the periodic structural surface.

而且,各週期性結構參數係藉由使用以對應於布拉格條件之次數m自R/a決定之週期a及半徑R、以及以0.5a以上之週期性結構的深度h為變數進行之FDTD法之模擬的解析結果,以相對於波長λ之半導體發光元件整體之光取出效率成為最大之方式而最終決定之值而構成。此處,具有0.5a以上之深度的週期性結構之深度h亦可為根據實際之加工精度而上限受到限制之值。 Further, each periodic structural parameter is subjected to the FDTD method by using the period a and the radius R determined from R/a in accordance with the number m of Bragg conditions, and the depth h of the periodic structure of 0.5 a or more. The result of the simulation analysis is configured such that the light extraction efficiency of the entire semiconductor light-emitting device having the wavelength λ is maximized. Here, the depth h of the periodic structure having a depth of 0.5 a or more may be a value whose upper limit is limited according to actual machining accuracy.

在本實施形態之光子晶體週期性結構中,週期a與半徑R之比(R/a)係基於TM光之光子能帶以使光之透射效果成為良好之方式而決定之值。如此般結構體係指例如在小折射率之介質中(空氣等)形成大折射率之結構(GaN柱)即所謂之柱結構體。 In the periodic structure of the photonic crystal of the present embodiment, the ratio (R/a) of the period a to the radius R is determined based on the photon energy band of the TM light so that the light transmission effect is good. Such a structural system refers to, for example, a structure (GaN column) in which a large refractive index (air or the like) is formed in a medium having a small refractive index, that is, a so-called column structure.

在本實施形態中,週期性結構之參數之最佳化係以透射為目的,針對TM光研究其透射光即可(參照圖2)。 In the present embodiment, the optimization of the parameters of the periodic structure is for the purpose of transmission, and the transmitted light can be studied for TM light (see Fig. 2).

如圖2所示,可理解TM光之電場易於積存於在柱結構桿狀體(柱)17a間垂直地存在之介電點,在平均折射率nav、週期a及設計波長λ滿足布拉格條件時,在其電場面處因布拉格繞射而散射、亦即TM光係相對於本實施形態之週期性結構面(界面15a)而透射。 As shown in FIG. 2, it can be understood that the electric field of the TM light is apt to accumulate in the dielectric point vertically existing between the columnar rods (columns) 17a of the column structure, and the Bragg condition is satisfied at the average refractive index n av , the period a, and the design wavelength λ. At the time of the electric field, the diffraction is caused by the Bragg diffraction, that is, the TM light system is transmitted with respect to the periodic structural surface (interface 15a) of the present embodiment.

知悉TM光之光子晶體之物理性質的有效方法係由平面波展開法 獲取光子能帶(PB)結構而予解析者。TM光之固有值方程式係自麥斯威爾方程式以如下之方式導出。 The plane wave expansion method is an effective method for knowing the physical properties of TM photonic crystals. A photon energy band (PB) structure is obtained for the resolver. The equation of intrinsic value of TM light is derived from Maxwell's equation in the following manner.

其中,E'=|k+G|E(G)、ε:相對介電係數、G:逆晶格向量、k:波數、ω:周波數、c:光速、E:電場。 Wherein E'=|k+G|E(G), ε: relative dielectric constant, G: inverse lattice vector, k: wave number, ω: number of cycles, c: speed of light, and E: electric field.

逆晶格向量(G)存在無數個,但以原點與逆晶格點為最小距離而取之G,在三角晶格狀光子晶體之情形下為G=±b1、±b2、±(b1+b2)此6個,如圖3所示,可獲得六角形之第一布裡淵區域。 There are innumerable inverse lattice vectors (G), but G is taken as the minimum distance between the origin and the inverse lattice point, and G=±b1, ±b2, ±(b1) in the case of a triangular lattice photonic crystal. +b2) These six, as shown in Fig. 3, can obtain the first Brillouin region of the hexagon.

在圖3中,將Γ、M、K點稱為對稱點。圖4顯示在由該對稱點圍成之區域內所求之均勻之介質之無晶格能帶結構、圖5顯示光子晶體之光子能帶(PB)結構。 In Fig. 3, the points Γ, M, and K are referred to as symmetry points. Figure 4 shows the non-lattice band structure of the uniform medium in the region enclosed by the symmetry point, and Figure 5 shows the photonic band (PB) structure of the photonic crystal.

圖5之自1次至7次之各PB係波數向量k+G之散射波。 Fig. 5 is a scattering wave of each PB wavenumber vector k+G from 1st to 7th.

又,因該等各PB係將固有值自能量之低順位起重新排序而作成,故未必與無晶格光子能帶之波數向量一致。 Moreover, since each of the PB systems is formed by reordering the eigenvalues from the low order of energy, it does not necessarily coincide with the wavenumber vector of the non-lattice photonic band.

若比較圖4與圖5可瞭解,在圖5中,在對稱點處可觀測到顯著的光子帶隙(PBG)。 As can be seen by comparing Fig. 4 with Fig. 5, in Fig. 5, a significant photonic band gap (PBG) can be observed at the symmetry point.

例如,在圖4之無晶格狀態之Γ點處,解係6重簡併,但在圖5之光子晶體結構之Γ點上簡併解除,而由六個波製作駐波。在圖5之光子晶體結構中,同樣地分別在M點上2重簡併解除而由二個波製作駐波,在K點上3重簡併解除而由三個波製作成駐波。 For example, at the point of the no-lattice state of Fig. 4, the solution is de-simplified, but the degeneracy is removed at the point of the photonic crystal structure of Fig. 5, and the standing wave is made of six waves. In the photonic crystal structure of Fig. 5, in the same manner, the two-fold degeneracy is removed at the M point, and the standing wave is generated by the two waves. At the K point, the three-fold degeneracy is released and the three waves are used to form the standing wave.

在該等對稱點處產生群速度異常(dω/dk=0),從而導致光之傳播方向變化。因此,藉由關注在各光子能帶之各對稱點處之光之物理性質,能夠獲得用於使光子晶體之光取出效率或配光性最佳化之指針。 A group velocity anomaly (dω/dk=0) is generated at the symmetry points, resulting in a change in the direction of propagation of the light. Therefore, by focusing on the physical properties of light at each symmetry point of each photon energy band, a pointer for optimizing the light extraction efficiency or light distribution of the photonic crystal can be obtained.

為此,著眼在Γ點、M點、K點處產生駐波之光子能帶(PB)。其理由係在界面處之折射率差越大則在TM光之情形下越會出現複數個 以上PBG之故。 To this end, focus on the photon energy band (PB) of the standing wave at the Γ point, M point, and K point. The reason is that the larger the refractive index difference at the interface, the more multiples will appear in the case of TM light. The reason for the above PBG.

針對著眼於上述之點而進行之計算機模擬之處理流程的概要說明如下。 An outline of the processing flow of the computer simulation for focusing on the above points is explained below.

圖13係顯示本實施形態之計算機模擬之計算之流程的流程圖。 Fig. 13 is a flow chart showing the flow of calculation of the computer simulation of the embodiment.

(步驟S1) (Step S1)

在步驟S1中,在0.18≦R/a≦0.40之範圍內,使R/a(R:半徑、a:週期)以例如0.01為階而變化。 In step S1, R/a (R: radius, a: period) is changed in steps of, for example, 0.01 in the range of 0.18 ≦ R / a ≦ 0.40.

(步驟S2) (Step S2)

因滿足布拉格條件之散射波相當於各光子能帶(PB)之任一者,故將使設計波長λ透射之週期a以布拉格之式而加以關聯。此處,所著眼之光子能帶係滿足布拉格條件之散射波(k+G)。 Since the scattered wave satisfying the Bragg condition corresponds to any of the photon energy bands (PB), the period a for transmitting the design wavelength λ is associated with the Bragg pattern. Here, the photon energy band of the eye is a scattering wave (k+G) satisfying the Bragg condition.

亦即,在步驟S2中,自結構體之折射率n1、n2、R/a算出平均折射率nav,予以代入布拉格之式mλ/nav=2a,並就每個次數m而決定a與R。 That is, in step S2, the average refractive index n av is calculated from the refractive indices n 1 , n 2 , and R/a of the structure, and is substituted into the equation mλ/n av = 2a of Prague, and is determined for each number m a and R.

此處為nav 2=n2 2+(n1 2-n2 2)×(2 π/)×(R/a)2Here n av 2 =n 2 2 +(n 1 2 -n 2 2 )×(2 π / ) × (R / a) 2 .

又,根據光子晶體之定義,週期a接近於波長λ,就次數m=3及4時之週期對應於該波長區域。 Further, according to the definition of the photonic crystal, the period a is close to the wavelength λ, and the period when the number of times m = 3 and 4 corresponds to the wavelength region.

例如在R/a=0.34(m=4)時可如下述般計算。 For example, when R/a = 0.34 (m = 4), it can be calculated as follows.

若n1=2.50、n2=1.0 If n 1 = 2.50, n 2 = 1.0

則nav 2=(2.50)2+((2.50)2-(1.0)2)×(2 π/)×(0.34)2=(1.79)2 Then n av 2 =(2.50) 2 +((2.50) 2 -(1.0) 2 )×(2 π / )×(0.34) 2 =(1.79) 2

因此,nav=1.79。將次數m=4、真空中之波長=455nm代入布拉格之式中則a=509nm。又,由R/a=0.34,可得d=346nm。 Therefore, n av = 1.79. Substituting the number m=4, the wavelength in vacuum = 455 nm into the equation of Prague, a = 509 nm. Further, from R/a = 0.34, d = 346 nm can be obtained.

(步驟S3) (Step S3)

在步驟S3中,自經決定之R/a、波長λ、折射率n1、n2求得介電係 數ε1、ε2,利用平面波展開法獲得TM光之光子能帶(PB)結構。將對應於PBG1、PBG2、PBG3之最大值之次數m=3~4之R/a設為最佳化之候選。 In step S3, the dielectric coefficients ε 1 and ε 2 are obtained from the determined R/a, the wavelength λ, the refractive indices n 1 and n 2 , and the photon energy band (PB) structure of the TM light is obtained by the plane wave expansion method. R/a corresponding to the number of maximum values of PBG1, PBG2, and PBG3, m=3 to 4, is a candidate for optimization.

圖6係將1stPB-2ndPB間、3rdPB-4thPB間、5thPB-6thPB間之光子帶隙(PBG)分別設為PBG1、PBG2、PBG3而顯示R/a與PBG之關係。 6 shows the photonic band gap (PBG) between 1 st PB-2 nd PB, 3 rd PB-4 th PB, and 5 th PB-6 th PB as PBG1, PBG2, and PBG3, respectively, and shows R/a. Relationship with PBG.

如圖6所示,在R/a=0.19、R/a=0.23、R/a=0.32時,可獲得各光子帶隙之最大值。由於光子帶隙之大小與光取出效率具有相關性,故自圖6獲得之R/a係無關於次數而成為最佳化之有力之候選。 As shown in Fig. 6, at R/a = 0.19, R/a = 0.23, and R/a = 0.32, the maximum value of each photonic band gap can be obtained. Since the size of the photonic band gap is correlated with the light extraction efficiency, the R/a system obtained from Fig. 6 is a powerful candidate for optimization regardless of the number of times.

(步驟S4) (Step S4)

將滿足布拉格條件之第二光子能帶(2ndPB)與第四光子能帶(4thPB)之縱軸(ωa/2πc)換算為真空中之波長λV,就次數m=1時獲得λV與ka/2π之光子能帶結構。縱軸係可作ωa/2πc=a/λPhC變換(其中,λPhC為光子晶體(PhC)中之波長)。因此,自λv1=a1/(ωa/2πc)×nav及布拉格式,亦即1×λV/nav=2a1而導出a1V/2nav。選擇第二光子能帶(2ndPB)與第四光子能帶(4thPB)之理由,緣於如圖6所示之PBG1與PBG2在0.18≦R/a≦0.40時張開大,在各對稱點處由第二光子能帶(2ndPB)與第四光子能帶(4thPB)產生駐波,其後改變光之傳播方向之故。 The vertical axis (ωa/2πc) of the second photon energy band (2 nd PB) and the fourth photon energy band (4 th PB) satisfying the Bragg condition is converted into a wavelength λ V in vacuum, which is obtained when the number of times m=1 Photonic band structure of λ V and ka /2π. The vertical axis can be used as the ωa/2πc=a/λ PhC transform (where λ PhC is the wavelength in the photonic crystal (PhC)). Therefore, a 1 = λ V /2n av is derived from λ v = λ 1 = a 1 / (ωa / 2πc) × n av and Bragg, that is, 1 × λ V / n av = 2a 1 . The reason for selecting the second photon energy band (2 nd PB) and the fourth photon energy band (4 th PB) is that the PBG1 and PBG2 are enlarged at 0.18 ≦R/a ≦ 0.40 as shown in FIG. At each symmetry point, a standing wave is generated by the second photon energy band (2 nd PB) and the fourth photon energy band (4 th PB), and then the direction of light propagation is changed.

圖7A、圖7B顯示此等情形。第二光子能帶(2ndPB)在各對稱點處產生駐波時之R/a,係與真空中之波長455nm以點相接或最接近之R/a者。因此,若自圖7A讀取,則在Γ點處R/a=0.37、在M點處R/a=0.21、在K點處R/a=0.26。在圖7B中,在0.18≦R/a≦0.40範圍內,因任一R/a皆不接近於真空中之波長455nm,故不產生駐波。 Figures 7A, 7B show these situations. The second photon energy band (2 nd PB) produces R/a in the standing wave at each symmetry point, which is the R/a which is in point or closest to the wavelength of 455 nm in vacuum. Therefore, if read from Fig. 7A, R/a = 0.37 at the defect, R/a = 0.21 at the M point, and R/a = 0.26 at the K point. In Fig. 7B, in the range of 0.18 ≦R/a ≦ 0.40, since either R/a is not close to the wavelength 455 nm in the vacuum, no standing wave is generated.

(步驟S5) (Step S5)

首先針對以次數m=3而決定之R/a進行研究。如圖8A所示,步驟4之R/a=0.37(次數m=1)之第二光子能帶(2ndPB)產生駐波。次數m=3之週期長為m=1之週期長的3整數倍,因相位被保持故產生具有3個波腹之駐波。因此,λ3=a3/(ωa/2πc)×nav、a3=3λV/2navFirst, research was conducted on R/a determined by the number m=3. As shown in FIG. 8A, the second photon energy band (2 nd PB) of R/a=0.37 (number of times m=1) of step 4 generates a standing wave. The period of the number m=3 is 3 integer multiples of the period length of m=1, and the standing wave having three antinodes is generated because the phase is maintained. Therefore, λ 3 = a 3 / (ωa / 2πc) × n av , a 3 = 3λ V /2n av .

在m=3時之週期為在m=1時之週期的3倍。因此,縱軸之波長之大小亦為真空中之波長λV×3(次數m)。 The period at m = 3 is three times the period at m = 1. Therefore, the wavelength of the vertical axis is also the wavelength λ V × 3 (number of times m) in the vacuum.

而且,產生駐波之R/a成為在各對稱點處與真空中之波長×3=1365nm以點相接或最接近之R/a,與次數m=1相同而成為Γ點(R/a=0.37)、M點(R/a=0.21)、K點(R/a=0.26),成為最佳化之候選。圖9A顯示關於第二光子能帶(2ndPB)之真空中波長×3(次數)與波數之光子能帶結構。 Further, the R/a of the standing wave is R/a which is at or near the point of the wavelength × 3 = 1365 nm in the vacuum at each symmetry point, and is the same as the number of times m = 1 and becomes a defect (R/a =0.37), M point (R/a=0.21), and K point (R/a=0.26), which are candidates for optimization. Figure 9A shows the photonic band structure of the wavelength x 3 (number of times) and wave number in the vacuum of the second photon energy band (2 nd PB).

另一方面,在m=1時第四光子能帶(4thPB)之周波數較第二光子能帶(2ndPB)之周波數高而為2倍弱。而且在0.18≦R/a≦0.40之範圍內之任一R/a皆不產生駐波。然而,就次數m=3時週期長與次數成比例地變大,在某R/a處成為同相位而產生駐波。如圖8B所示,某R/a之第四光子能帶(4thPB)產生駐波之條件,係m=1之某R/a之週期長之4整數倍與5整數倍,在m=3之週期長之中分別產生具有4個波腹與5個波腹之駐波。 On the other hand, when m=1, the number of cycles of the fourth photon energy band ( 4th PB) is higher than that of the second photon band ( 2nd PB) and is twice as weak. Moreover, no R/a in the range of 0.18 ≦R/a ≦ 0.40 does not generate standing waves. However, when the number of times m=3, the period length becomes larger in proportion to the number of times, and the standing wave is generated in the same phase at a certain R/a. As shown, a fourth photon R / a of the band 8B (4 th PB) generates a standing wave condition, the length R of a line m = 1 / a of cycles 4 and 5 an integer multiple of an integer multiple of, in m The standing wave with 4 antinodes and 5 antinodes is generated in the period of =3.

因此,為求得與各對稱點處真空中之波長×3=1365nm以點相接或最接近之R/a,而將在步驟S4中求得之所有之R/a的第四光子能帶(4thPB)設為4整數倍者係顯示在圖9B,將設為5整數倍者顯示在圖9C。在4整數倍中為:Γ點(R/a=0.31)、M點(R/a=0.31)、K點(R/a=0.36)。在5整數倍中為:Γ點(無符合)、M點(R/a=0.18)、K點(R/a=0.27),任一者皆為最佳化之候選。 Therefore, in order to find the R/a which is at the point of the wavelength × 3=1365 nm in the vacuum at each symmetry point, or the closest R/a, the fourth photon band of all the R/a obtained in the step S4 is obtained. (4 th PB) is set to an integral multiple of those lines 4 shown in 9B, the integral multiple of the set 5 are shown in FIG. 9C. Among the four integer multiples are: Γ point (R/a=0.31), M point (R/a=0.31), and K point (R/a=0.36). Among the five integer multiples are: Γ (no match), M point (R/a = 0.18), and K point (R/a = 0.27), either of which is a candidate for optimization.

(步驟S6) (Step S6)

就次數m=4時,λ4=a4/(ωa/2πc)×nav、a4=4λV/2nav。圖10A顯示關於第二光子能帶(2ndPB)之真空中波長與波數之光子能帶結構。在各對稱點處與真空中之波長×4=1820nm最接近之R/a,係與次數m=1相同,而為Γ點(R/a=0.37)、M點(R/a=0.21)、K點(R/a=0.26)。又,某R/a之第四光子能帶(4thPB)產生駐波之條件係m=1時之入射波長之5整數倍、6整數倍、7整數倍。因此,若求取與各對稱點處之真空中之波長 ×4=1820nm以點相接或最接近之R/a,則在5整數倍下為Γ點(R/a=0.35)、M點(R/a=0.34)。若將該第四光子能帶之縱軸重新換算為次數m=1時之ωa/2πc,則為對應於圖5之4thPB的K點(R/a=0.40)(圖10B)。在6整數倍下為Γ點(R/a=0.20)、M點(R/a=0.27)、K點(R/a=0.31)(圖10C)。在7整數倍下為Γ點(無符合)、M點(無符合)、K點(R/a=0.24)(圖10D),任一者皆為最佳化之候選。 When the number of times m=4, λ 4 = a 4 / (ωa / 2πc) × n av , a 4 = 4λ V /2n av . Figure 10A shows the photonic band structure for the wavelength and wavenumber in the vacuum of the second photon energy band (2 nd PB). The R/a closest to the wavelength in the vacuum × 4 = 1820 nm at each symmetry point is the same as the number of times m = 1, but is the defect point (R / a = 0.37), M point (R / a = 0.21) , K point (R/a = 0.26). Further, a R / a photonic band of a fourth (4 th PB) generates a standing wave condition of the system m = incident wavelength of 1 when integer multiples of 5, 6 integer multiple of an integer multiple of 7. Therefore, if R/a which is in point or closest to the wavelength in the vacuum at each symmetry point × 4 = 1820 nm is obtained, it is a defect point (R/a = 0.35) and M point at 5 integer multiples. (R/a=0.34). If the fourth longitudinal axis of the photonic band re-converted to the frequency when m = ωa 1 / 2πc, compared with FIG. 5 corresponds to the point K of the 4 th PB (R / a = 0.40) (Figure 10B). At 6 integer multiples, it is a defect (R/a = 0.20), M point (R/a = 0.27), and K point (R/a = 0.31) (Fig. 10C). At 7 integer multiples, it is a defect (no match), M point (no match), and K point (R/a = 0.24) (Fig. 10D), either of which is a candidate for optimization.

(步驟S7) (Step S7)

將對應於在步驟S2中所獲得之R/a之光子晶體的光取出效率增減率與配光性,針對在0.18≦R/a≦0.40範圍內全部之R/a就次數m=3與4利用有限時域差分法(FDTD法)進行計算。關於深度則選擇就次數m=3~4時最大週期a之0.5倍以上之任意值。 The light extraction efficiency ratio and the light distribution corresponding to the photonic crystal of R/a obtained in step S2 are all in the range of 0.18 ≦R/a ≦ 0.40, and the number of times is m=3. 4 Calculated by finite time domain difference method (FDTD method). Regarding the depth, an arbitrary value of 0.5 times or more of the maximum period a when the number m = 3 to 4 is selected.

圖11顯示計算模型。 Figure 11 shows the calculation model.

覆晶結構由Al反射膜、ITO透明電極、p-GaN層、發光層、n-GaN層、及GaN基板構成。由發光層所發出之光主要自GaN基板背面或側壁朝外部放出。中心波長為455nm、偏光度0.94。光子晶體形成在GaN基板背面。若將輸出1作為無光子晶體之LED的輸出、輸出2作為有光子晶體之LED的輸出,則光取出效率(LEE)增減率如下述般計算。亦即,LEE增減率=(輸出2-輸出1)/輸出1,就遠場(Far Field)及近場(Near Field)算出。又,驗證配光性之放射圖案係就遠場算出。 The flip chip structure is composed of an Al reflective film, an ITO transparent electrode, a p-GaN layer, a light-emitting layer, an n-GaN layer, and a GaN substrate. The light emitted by the light-emitting layer is mainly emitted from the back surface or the side wall of the GaN substrate toward the outside. The center wavelength is 455 nm and the degree of polarization is 0.94. A photonic crystal is formed on the back surface of the GaN substrate. When the output 1 is used as the output of the LED without photonic crystal and the output 2 is used as the output of the LED having the photonic crystal, the light extraction efficiency (LEE) increase and decrease rate is calculated as follows. That is, the LEE increase/decrease rate = (output 2 - output 1) / output 1 is calculated for the far field (Far Field) and the near field (Near Field). Further, the radiation pattern for verifying the light distribution is calculated in the far field.

如圖12所示,將點P1之電場強度Etotal定義為Etotal=|Eθ|2+|Eφ|2。該電場強度係與光之強度成比例。因此能夠藉由將該點P1處之電場強度在0°≦θ≦180°、0°≦φ≦360°之範圍內以5°間隔為階計算而求得放射圖案。 As shown in FIG. 12, the electric field intensity E total of the point P 1 is defined as E total =|Eθ| 2 +|Eφ| 2 . This electric field strength is proportional to the intensity of the light. Therefore, the radiation pattern can be obtained by calculating the electric field intensity at the point P 1 in the range of 0° ≦ θ ≦ 180° and 0° ≦ φ ≦ 360° at intervals of 5°.

【表1】 【Table 1】

在表1及表2內記載有針對在m=3及m=4時之各R/a利用FDTD法模擬之結果。所謂LEE增減率(Far Field@455nm)係指在遠場處所計算之波長455nm下之LED元件的增減率。所謂LEE增減率(Near Field@455nm)係指在近場處所計算之波長455nm下之LED元件的增減率。所謂LEE增減率(θ=5°)係指將在放射圖案之θ=5°時之輸出在0°≦φ≦360°之範圍內全部積分,以光子晶體之有無而比較之增減率。所謂光子能帶(PB)狀態係顯示步驟3~6中成為所求得之光子晶體最佳化之候選的第二光子能帶(2ndPB)與第四光子能帶(4thPB)之各對稱點的狀態。 Tables 1 and 2 show the results of simulations by FDTD method for each R/a at m=3 and m=4. The LEE increase/decrease rate (Far Field@455nm) refers to the increase and decrease rate of LED elements at a wavelength of 455 nm calculated at a far field. The LEE increase/decrease rate (Near Field@455nm) refers to the increase and decrease rate of LED elements at a wavelength of 455 nm calculated at the near field. The LEE increase/decrease rate (θ=5°) refers to the total output in the range of 0°≦φ≦360° at θ=5° of the radiation pattern, and the increase or decrease rate compared with the presence or absence of the photonic crystal. . The so-called photon energy band (PB) state shows the second photon energy band (2 nd PB) and the fourth photon energy band (4 th PB) which are candidates for the optimized photonic crystal optimization in steps 3 to 6. The state of each symmetry point.

又,圖14及圖15顯示各次數m之放射圖案角度分佈。在FDTD法之極座標中,θ方向及φ方向皆以5°為階而實施計算。此時極座標上之各面積要素之光的強度以sinθdθdφ來表現。然而,因實際之測定配光性之檢測器之面積為一定,故在兩者之間會伴隨著角度θ之變化而產生矛盾。因此,此處,縱軸之強度係以每單位面積之相對輸出來表示。關於橫軸則將角度θ之輸出在0°≦φ≦360°之範圍內將φ全部積分而表示。 Further, Fig. 14 and Fig. 15 show the angular distribution of the radiation pattern for each order m. In the polar coordinates of the FDTD method, the calculation is performed in the θ direction and the φ direction in steps of 5°. At this time, the intensity of light of each area element on the polar coordinates is expressed by sin θd θdφ. However, since the area of the detector for measuring the light distribution is constant, there is a contradiction between the two due to the change in the angle θ. Therefore, here, the intensity of the vertical axis is expressed as the relative output per unit area. Regarding the horizontal axis, the output of the angle θ is expressed by integrating all of φ in the range of 0° ≦ φ ≦ 360°.

(步驟S8) (Step S8)

自光取出效率(LEE)增減率較大的R/a與次數m之中,選擇相當於目標之配光性的R/a及次數m。因此需決定光子晶體最佳化之參數即直徑、週期、深度。將在步驟S3~S6中所獲得之成為光子晶體最佳化之候選之R/a與在0.18≦R/a≦0.40之範圍內之前述候選以外之R/a進行比較。其結果為落在S3~S6之步驟中所獲得之R/a之最佳化候選。 Among the R/a and the number of times m from which the light extraction efficiency (LEE) increase/decrease rate is large, R/a and the number m of the light distribution properties corresponding to the target are selected. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the parameters of the photonic crystal optimization, namely diameter, period, and depth. R/a which is a candidate for photonic crystal optimization obtained in steps S3 to S6 is compared with R/a other than the aforementioned candidates in the range of 0.18 ≦ R/a ≦ 0.40. The result is an optimization candidate for R/a obtained in the steps of S3 to S6.

根據表1及表2,選擇LED元件之LEE增減率為65%以上、且例如在表示配光性之優劣之θ=5°時之LEE增減率為300%以上之R/a及其次數m,將其放射圖案角度分佈在圖16顯示。又,使用FDTD法對利用於PSS(Patterned Sapphire Substrate:圖案化藍寶石基板)之以下之形狀的微米圖案進行模擬比較。形狀係側壁角度為60°之圓錐型柱(上部/ 下部/週期/深度)=(267nm/1200nm/1800nm/800nm),且配置為三角晶格狀。從圖16中可明確地獲得下述結果,即:成為光子晶體最佳化之候選之R/a與其他之R/a或微米圖案相比較、光取出效率及配光性皆為良好。特別是在R/a=0.34(次數m=4)之圖案在θ=0°~15°之上方時顯示最佳配光性之結果。因此若進行自步驟S1至步驟S8之處理,則能夠容易地將光子晶體之光取出效率與配光性實現最佳化。 According to Tables 1 and 2, the LEE increase/decrease rate of the LED element is selected to be 65% or more, and the RE of the LEE increase/decrease rate of 300% or more, for example, when θ=5° indicating the light distribution quality is selected, The number of times m is shown in the distribution of the radiation pattern angles in Fig. 16. Further, the micropatterns of the shapes below the PSS (Patterned Sapphire Substrate) were simulated and compared using the FDTD method. Conical column with a 60° side wall angle (upper/ Lower/cycle/depth) = (267 nm / 1200 nm / 1800 nm / 800 nm) and arranged in a triangular lattice. From Fig. 16, it is clearly obtained that R/a which is a candidate for photonic crystal optimization is superior to other R/a or micron patterns, and light extraction efficiency and light distribution are good. In particular, the result of the best light distribution when the pattern of R/a=0.34 (the number of times m=4) is above θ=0°~15°. Therefore, when the processing from step S1 to step S8 is performed, the light extraction efficiency and the light distribution property of the photonic crystal can be easily optimized.

又,實際上在決定所製造之光半導體元件之結構之際,可基於最佳化之值而決定,但即便不使用最佳化之值本身,使用與其接近之值之結構亦落於本發明之範圍內者。 Further, in actuality, when determining the structure of the manufactured optical semiconductor element, it can be determined based on the value of optimization, but even if the value of the optimization itself is not used, the structure using the value close thereto is also in the present invention. Within the scope of the.

又,LED之光係TE光與TM光一邊作橢圓偏光一邊在介質中傳播。因此針對入射於光子晶體之TE光之情形考察如下。 Further, the light of the LED is transmitted between the TE light and the TM light while being elliptically polarized. Therefore, the case of the TE light incident on the photonic crystal is examined as follows.

如圖17所示,TE光之電場易於積存於在光子晶體面內平行之柱結構桿狀體之間,在平均折射率nav、週期a及設計波長λ滿足布拉格條件時,在其電場面上因布拉格繞射而反射。TE光之光子晶體之物理性質係利用與前述TM光相同步驟(步驟S1~步驟S3)自以下之麥斯威爾方程式獲得光子能帶(PB)結構而解析。 As shown in Fig. 17, the electric field of the TE light is easily accumulated between the columnar rods parallel to the plane of the photonic crystal, and the electric field is in the case where the average refractive index n av , the period a, and the design wavelength λ satisfy the Bragg condition. The upper reflection is caused by the diffraction of Prague. The physical properties of the photonic crystal of TE light are resolved by obtaining the photonic band (PB) structure from the following Maxwell equation using the same procedure as the aforementioned TM light (steps S1 to S3).

其中,ε:相對介電係數、G:逆晶格向量、k:波數、ω:周波數、c:光速、H:磁場。 Wherein ε: relative dielectric constant, G: inverse lattice vector, k: wave number, ω: number of cycles, c: speed of light, H: magnetic field.

將1stPB-2ndPB間、3rdPB-4thPB間、5thPB-6thPB間、7thPB-8thPB間之光子帶隙(PBG)分別設為PBG1、PBG2、PBG3、PBG4,將R/a與PBG之關係在圖18顯示。 The photonic band gap (PBG) between 1 st PB-2 nd PB, 3 rd PB-4 th PB, 5 th PB-6 th PB, and 7 th PB-8 th PB is set as PBG1, PBG2, respectively. PBG3, PBG4, the relationship between R/a and PBG is shown in FIG.

若與TM光之PBG比較,在TE光內不存在PBG1及PBG2。因此在該等光子能帶內不存在駐波,TE光之反射效果弱化。又,PBG3在0.28≦R/a≦0.39之範圍內雖存在PBG,但其大小與TM光之PBG相比 非常小。PBG4在0.20≦R/a≦0.25之範圍內雖存在PBG,但同樣地其大小非常小。惟因PBG3在R/a=0.34、PBG4在R/a=0.22時雖然小但可分別獲取最大值,故成為最佳化之有力候選。 If compared with the PBG of TM light, there is no PBG1 and PBG2 in the TE light. Therefore, there is no standing wave in the photon energy bands, and the reflection effect of the TE light is weakened. Moreover, although PBG3 has PBG in the range of 0.28 ≦R/a ≦0.39, its size is compared with that of TM light PBG. very small. Although PBG4 has PBG in the range of 0.20 ≦R/a ≦ 0.25, its size is also very small. However, since PBG3 is small at R/a=0.34 and PBG4 at R/a=0.22, the maximum value can be obtained separately, so it is a strong candidate for optimization.

其次,與TM光之步驟S4相同,將滿足布拉格條件之第六光子能帶(6thPB)與第八光子能帶(8thPB)之縱軸換算為真空中之波長λV,就次數m=1獲得光子能帶結構並在圖19及圖20中顯示。因任一R/a皆與真空中之波長455nm不接近,故不產生駐波。又,在圖21~圖25中顯示就次數m=3及次數m=4進行與TM光相同(步驟S5~步驟S6)之解析而滿足產生駐波條件的光子能帶結構。最佳化之有力候選為在m=3時,在第六光子能帶之5整數倍下為Γ點(R/a=0.33)、K點(R/a=0.36),在6整數倍下為M點(R/a=0.29);第八光子能帶無符合。同樣在m=4時,在第六光子能帶之6整數倍下為Γ點(R/a=0.38),7整數倍下為Γ點(R/a=0.31)、M點(R/a=0.35)、K點(R/a=0.32),8整數倍下為M點(R/a=0.29);第八光子能帶無符合。 Secondly, the TM light and the same step S4, the sixth satisfy the Bragg conditions of photon energy band (6 th PB) photonic band and the eighth (8 th PB) is converted to a longitudinal axis of the wavelength in vacuum of λ V, to the number of The photon band structure was obtained with m = 1 and is shown in Figs. 19 and 20. Since either R/a is not close to the wavelength of 455 nm in the vacuum, no standing wave is generated. Further, in FIGS. 21 to 25, the photon energy band structure in which the standing wave condition is satisfied is performed in the same manner as the TM light (steps S5 to S6) in terms of the number of times m=3 and the number of times m=4. A powerful candidate for optimization is that at m=3, it is a defect point (R/a=0.33) and a K point (R/a=0.36) at the integer multiple of the sixth photon energy band, at 6 integer multiples. It is the M point (R/a = 0.29); the eighth photon energy band has no match. Similarly, when m=4, it is a defect point (R/a=0.38) at the integer multiple of 6 of the sixth photon energy band, and a defect point (R/a=0.31) and M point (R/a) under 7 integer multiples. = 0.35), K point (R/a = 0.32), 8 integer points are M points (R / a = 0.29); the eighth photon energy band has no match.

利用TE光之解析而獲得之最佳化候選之R/a係利用光子晶體反射至LED內部,但因各PBG之大小較小而產生駐波之能量小,故其反射效果較TM光之透射效果弱。此情形亦可從顯示就次數m=3及m=4所解析之FDTD之光取出效率之增減率的結果均為良好一致之事實而獲理解。進而,因在藍寶石C面上晶體生長之GaN系藍色LED之光幾乎均被TE偏光,故在本實施形態之FDTD之解析中亦將光源之偏光度設為0.94。此乃因TE光之強度為TM光之10倍以上,一般而言形成有利於TE光之光子晶體(孔)之情形較多之故。然而,解析結果表明了因光子晶體(柱)之光取出效率之增減率其效果非常之高,故無關於TE光或TM光而因應光取出面之加工場所來設計光子晶體之結構此事之重要性。 The R/a system optimized by the analysis of TE light is reflected by the photonic crystal into the inside of the LED. However, since the energy of the standing wave is small due to the small size of each PBG, the reflection effect is higher than that of the TM light. The effect is weak. This case can also be understood from the fact that the results of the increase and decrease rates of the light extraction efficiency of the FDTD analyzed for the number m=3 and m=4 are all consistent. Further, since the light of the GaN-based blue LED which is crystal grown on the sapphire C plane is almost always polarized by TE, the polarization degree of the light source is also set to 0.94 in the analysis of the FDTD of the present embodiment. This is because the intensity of the TE light is 10 times or more that of the TM light, and in general, a photonic crystal (hole) which is advantageous for TE light is often formed. However, the analysis results show that the effect of increasing or decreasing the light extraction efficiency of the photonic crystal (column) is very high, so the structure of the photonic crystal is designed without the TE light or the TM light in response to the processing place of the light extraction surface. The importance.

因此,利用平面波展開法解析,如圖26所示般將TE光之PBG成 為最大之R/a=0.40的孔形成在GaN基板背面,而利用與柱同條件之FDTD法實施光取出效率之增減率的解析。其中,以次數m=4、直徑=407nm、週期=508nm、深度=500nm,相對於設計波長455nm滿足布拉格條件。獲得光取出效率之增減率為65%此一結果。將該值與經最佳化之柱結構比較,而如上述表明所示有若干劣化。 Therefore, using the plane wave expansion method, the PBG of the TE light is formed as shown in FIG. The hole having the largest R/a = 0.40 was formed on the back surface of the GaN substrate, and the analysis of the increase and decrease rate of the light extraction efficiency was carried out by the FDTD method under the same conditions as the column. Among them, the Bragg condition is satisfied with respect to the design wavelength of 455 nm in the order of m=4, diameter=407 nm, period=508 nm, and depth=500 nm. The result of the increase or decrease rate of light extraction efficiency is 65%. This value is compared to the optimized column structure, and there is some degradation as indicated by the above.

其次,說明光子晶體結構之製造方法。奈米壓模具有將模具之光子晶體圖案大面積地一次性轉印在旋轉塗佈於基板上之有機抗蝕劑上的優越技術。又,若利用樹脂薄膜模具則即便基板撓曲數百微米程度亦可轉印。然而,用於奈米壓模之有機抗蝕劑為重視流動性而相對圖案被形成部即材料的蝕刻選擇比未必充分。此外,模具之圖案尺寸與蝕刻後之圖案被形成部尺寸不一致。因此,為解決該問題乃如下述般實施使用2層抗蝕劑之製程。 Next, a method of manufacturing a photonic crystal structure will be described. The nanocompression mold has a superior technique of transferring a photonic crystal pattern of a mold over a large area onto an organic resist spin-coated on a substrate. Further, when the resin film mold is used, the substrate can be transferred even if the substrate is bent by several hundred micrometers. However, the organic resist used for the nano-molding mold is not necessarily sufficient in terms of the fluidity and the etching selectivity of the material which is the pattern-forming portion. Further, the pattern size of the mold is inconsistent with the size of the formed portion after etching. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a process using a two-layer resist is carried out as follows.

即,製程中具備:在基板上旋轉塗佈對基板蝕刻選擇比大之下層抗蝕劑之步驟,在前述下層抗蝕劑上旋轉塗佈具有流動性與耐氧性機能之上層抗蝕劑、並在其上層上轉印光子晶體圖案之步驟,將前述帶有圖案之上層抗蝕劑曝露在氧氣電漿而賦予耐氧性之步驟,以具有前述耐氧性之帶有圖案之上層抗蝕劑作為遮罩利用氧氣電漿將圖下層抗蝕劑形成圖案之步驟,且以前述帶有圖案之下層抗蝕劑作為遮罩利用ICP電漿乾式蝕刻基板而形成光子晶體。 That is, the process includes: a step of rotating and coating a substrate on the substrate to select a larger resist than a lower layer, and spin coating the upper resist on the underlying resist to have a fluidity and an oxygen resistance function; And the step of transferring the photonic crystal pattern on the upper layer, exposing the resist with the upper layer of the pattern to the oxygen plasma to impart oxygen resistance, and the patterned upper layer resist having the aforementioned oxygen resistance The agent is used as a mask to form a pattern of the underlying resist by oxygen plasma, and the photonic crystal is formed by dry etching the substrate by ICP plasma using the patterned underlying resist as a mask.

若使用該方法,藉由使下層抗蝕劑之膜厚變化,可獲取相對於模具圖案之深度之2倍程度(GaN之情形)的蝕刻深度。又,藉由使利用上層抗蝕劑之下層抗蝕劑的遮罩形成時的氧氣電漿條件變化,可對於模具圖案之直徑進行30%程度之直徑調整。 According to this method, by changing the film thickness of the underlying resist, it is possible to obtain an etching depth which is twice as large as the depth of the mold pattern (in the case of GaN). Further, by changing the oxygen plasma condition at the time of forming the mask using the upper resist under the resist, it is possible to adjust the diameter of the mold pattern by about 30%.

以下針對更詳細之製造步驟進行說明。為獲取良好之光取出效率,必須將nm程度之加工按照計算般而形成。 The following is a description of the more detailed manufacturing steps. In order to obtain good light extraction efficiency, it is necessary to form a process of a degree of nm as a calculation.

因此,採用根據利用兼具流動性與蝕刻選擇比之二者的特徵之2 層抗蝕劑之奈米壓模微影術的轉印技術,將具有nm程度之細微圖案之光子晶體週期性結構如圖27所示般,作為一例轉印在GaN基板背面。 Therefore, according to the characteristics of utilizing both the fluidity and the etching selectivity ratio, In the transfer technique of the nano-mold lithography of the layer resist, the periodic structure of the photonic crystal having a fine pattern of a degree of nm is transferred to the back surface of the GaN substrate as an example as shown in FIG.

將設計波長設為λ,準備自GaN基板15面相反側起以下述順序至少含有Al反射電極1、p型GaN層5、及p型GaN發光層7之積層結構體,準備用於在與GaN基板15之Al反射電極1相反側形成光子晶體週期性結構17的模具,且在GaN基板15面上形成抗蝕劑層,並轉印模具之結構,以抗蝕劑層為遮罩自GaN基板15面蝕刻而形成光子晶體週期性結構17。根據圖27對該製程說明如下。 The design wavelength is λ, and a laminated structure including at least the Al reflective electrode 1, the p-type GaN layer 5, and the p-type GaN light-emitting layer 7 in the following order from the opposite side of the GaN substrate 15 is prepared, and is prepared for use in GaN. A mold of the photonic crystal periodic structure 17 is formed on the opposite side of the Al reflective electrode 1 of the substrate 15, and a resist layer is formed on the surface of the GaN substrate 15, and the structure of the mold is transferred, and the resist layer is masked from the GaN substrate. The 15th surface is etched to form a photonic crystal periodic structure 17. The process will be described below with reference to Fig. 27.

首先,製作用於將根據本發明之實施而最佳化的週期性結構正確地再現於GaN基板上的模具。該模具可使用如圖27(b)所示般能夠追隨基板之撓曲之樹脂製的模具。 First, a mold for correctly reproducing a periodic structure optimized according to the implementation of the present invention on a GaN substrate was fabricated. As the mold, a mold made of a resin which can follow the deflection of the substrate as shown in Fig. 27(b) can be used.

其次,將對GaN基板蝕刻選擇比大之有機下層抗蝕劑以厚度g進行旋轉塗佈。又,該厚度g係根據對GaN基板之下層抗蝕劑的蝕刻選擇比而選擇性地決定。其後,將具有流動性與耐氧性機能之含矽上層抗蝕劑以特定之厚度旋轉塗佈於下層抗蝕劑面上(圖27(a))。 Next, the organic underlayer resist having a large etching ratio to the GaN substrate is spin-coated at a thickness g. Moreover, the thickness g is selectively determined according to the etching selectivity ratio of the underlying resist of the GaN substrate. Thereafter, the ruthenium-containing upper resist having fluidity and oxygen resistance is spin-coated on the lower resist surface at a specific thickness (Fig. 27 (a)).

其次,使用奈米壓模裝置將模具之圖案轉印於上層抗蝕劑上(圖27(b))。 Next, the pattern of the mold was transferred onto the upper resist using a nanomolding apparatus (Fig. 27 (b)).

其次,將轉印有模具之圖案的上層抗蝕劑曝露於氧氣電漿中,賦予耐氧性且去除奈米壓模轉印中殘存之上層抗蝕劑的殘留膜。(圖27(c))。 Next, the upper layer resist to which the pattern of the mold is transferred is exposed to the oxygen plasma to impart oxygen resistance and remove the residual film of the upper layer resist remaining in the nano-mold transfer. (Fig. 27(c)).

其次,以具有耐氧性之上層抗蝕劑為遮罩,利用氧氣電漿蝕刻有機下層抗蝕劑,而形成用於乾式蝕刻GaN基板的圖案遮罩(圖27(d))。又,圖27(e)所記載之圖案遮罩之GaN基板側的直徑d1係藉由調整氧氣電漿之條件而能夠在d1之30%程度之範圍內進行微調整。 Next, the organic underlayer resist was etched by oxygen plasma using a resist having an oxygen-resistant upper layer as a mask to form a pattern mask for dry etching the GaN substrate (Fig. 27 (d)). Further, the pattern in FIG. 27 (e) described in the mask substrate side of the diameter d 1 of the GaN-based conditions by adjusting the oxygen plasma and can be finely adjusted in the range of d 1 of about 30%.

利用ICP電漿介以圖案遮罩乾式蝕刻GaN基板,從而形成經最佳 化之週期性結構(圖27(e))。 Using ICP plasma to dry-etch GaN substrates by pattern mask to form the best The periodic structure of the transformation (Fig. 27(e)).

若週期性結構係柱結構之情形,則蝕刻後之形狀成為如圖27(f)所示般大致d1<d2之梯形,側壁角度係依存於有機下層抗蝕劑之蝕刻選擇比。又,根據本實施形態,若變更有機下層抗蝕劑之厚度g則能夠容易地將形成於乾式蝕刻後之GaN基板上之光子晶體週期性結構的深度設為相對於模具之深度之1.5倍程度的深度。 In the case of the periodic structure of the pillar structure, the shape after etching is a trapezoid substantially d 1 < d 2 as shown in Fig. 27 (f), and the sidewall angle depends on the etching selectivity ratio of the organic underlying resist. Further, according to the present embodiment, when the thickness g of the organic underlayer resist is changed, the depth of the periodic structure of the photonic crystal formed on the dry-etched GaN substrate can be easily set to 1.5 times the depth of the mold. depth.

此外,若在圖案遮罩形成時變更直徑d1,則能夠以30%程度容易地變更週期性結構之直徑。如此可代替模具之重新製作,有助於減少模具之製作時間與成本,進而在半導體發光元件之製造成本上成為重大的優點。 Further, when the diameter d 1 is changed when the pattern mask is formed, the diameter of the periodic structure can be easily changed by 30%. This can replace the re-production of the mold, which helps to reduce the manufacturing time and cost of the mold, and thus becomes a significant advantage in the manufacturing cost of the semiconductor light-emitting element.
