Abstract

A semiconductor light emitting device and the method for manufacturing the device are disclosed. An insulation layer is formed on the first electrode and on some of the reflective layer of the device. A metal pillar is electroplated on the area with no insulation layer. An excimer laser uniformly irradiates the sapphire base to remove the sapphire base off the semiconductor buffer layer. An etching processing is preformed to coarsen the surface of the first conductive epitaxy layer. This design will dissipate the heat out of the packaged semiconductor light emitting device through the electrode and the metal pillar because the electrode and the metal pillar are good in heat conductivity. The disclosed structure is good in heat conductivity, so the invention can be applied to high power LEDs such as a blue LED or a green LED. Moreover, the coarsened surface of the first conductive epitaxy layer will increase the quantity of the retrieved light from the LED to raise the light intensity from the semiconductor light emitting device owing to the reduced possibility of total reflection.

[Summary of the Invention] The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional shortcomings, to avoid the existence of the shortcomings, and to provide a semiconductor light-emitting device with good heat dissipation and its manufacturing method. More suitable for application in light-emitting diodes with high current requirements. Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor light-emitting device with improved brightness, especially for a semiconductor-emitting 1241729 light-emitting device based on sapphire. In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the high-power blue and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of the indium gallium nitride (InGaN) series materials using the sapphire substrate 10 are formed from the front side of the device. In terms of the flip-chip light emitting element that is emitted. For a sapphire-based light-emitting element, a light-emitting diode epitaxial layer having a P / N junction is grown thereon, including at least one first conductive epitaxial layer, a light-emitting active layer, and a second conductive epitaxial layer. A crystal layer and an ohmic contact layer are formed by first forming a semiconductor buffer layer and then forming the aforementioned necessary stacked structure 'and a reflective layer, and a first electrode located on the first conductive epitaxial layer of the stacked structure is exposed. The part is characterized in that the thickness of the first electrode and part of the reflective layer area is plated with a thickness of 50 to 100 // m as a barrier wall above the area of the first electrode and part of the reflective layer area. Then a metal pillar is formed on the non-barrier wall area by electroplating, and the thickness is not less than the thickness of the barrier wall. Finally, an excimer laser is evenly irradiated on the sapphire substrate to promote the sapphire substrate to escape from the semiconductor buffer layer. Further, the surface of the first conductive epitaxial layer is etched by an etching method to promote the surface of the first conductive epitaxial layer to be rough. If a structure is completed from top to bottom, a first conductive epitaxial layer with a rough surface on the surface, a light-emitting active layer, a second conductive epitaxial layer, an ohmic contact layer, a reflective layer, and a The first electrode is located in the exposed portion of the first conductive epitaxial layer of the stacked structure, a barrier wall is below the reflective layer region of the first electrode and a portion, and a metal pillar is formed in the region of the non-barrier wall. 1241729 佳 The metal pillars with good thermal conductivity formed by this plating method make the conductive electrodes of the packaged semiconductor light-emitting elements have good heat dissipation. For high-power blue and green light-emitting diodes that require large currents, the elements themselves With good heat dissipation, it will be more suitable for application in light-emitting diodes with high current requirements. At the same time, the surface becomes the first conductive epitaxial layer with a rough surface, and the light extraction efficiency will be reduced due to the reduction of the total reflection probability. , Promote the increase in brightness of semiconductor light emitting elements. [Embodiment] The detailed content and technical description of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings: First, the layers of the substance established on the substrate in the method of the present invention can be implemented by methods known to those skilled in the art For example, organic vapor phase molecular deposition (MOCVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) process, hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) process. Please refer to "Figure 1" for a schematic diagram of the structure of the semiconductor light emitting element before the implementation of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the present invention is directed to a high-power blue and green light-emitting diode (LED) using an indium gallium nitride (InGaN) series material using a sapphire substrate 10, and the formed element crystals are emitted from the front side. Flip-chip light-emitting device, the manufacturing method steps and the semiconductor light-emitting device manufactured by the method are: forming a semiconductor buffer layer 20 on the sapphire substrate 10, wherein the semiconductor buffer layer 20 is a III -V (three / five) compound semiconductors, such as: gallium nitride (GaN), forming a first conductive epitaxial layer 30 overlying the semiconductor buffer layer 20, forming a light-emitting active layer 40 on the first On the conductive layer 1241729, a second conductive epitaxial layer 50 is formed on the active layer 40. Wherein, the first conductive epitaxial layer 30 and the second conductive epitaxial layer 50 are any conventional or visible semiconductor materials, preferably a ΠΙ_ν (three / five) group compound semiconductor, such as nitrogen Aluminum gallium indium (AlxGayIni_x_yN), where (〇 $ x $ l, 0 $ y $ l, 〇x + yg U, and further doped with p / N type dopants as appropriate, the types of these materials and The properties are well known to those skilled in the art, and the active layer 40 is also any semiconductor material and structure that is known or will be seen in the future, such as aluminum gallium indium nitride (A1GaInN), phosphating Ming Suyin ( (AlGalnP) 'Structures are Singie Quantuni Well (SQW), Multiple Quantum Well (MQW), and Double Heterosture (DH). 〇Remove part of the second conductivity with lithography method After the crystal layer 50 and the active layer 40 are exposed, and a portion of the first conductive epitaxial layer 30 is exposed, a first electrode 31 is formed on the exposed portion of the first conductive epitaxial layer 30. An ohmic contact layer 60 is plated on the second conductive epitaxial layer 50, and the material may be metal such as Ni (nickel) / Au (Gold) or indium tin oxide (ITO), ZnO (zinc oxide) and other materials. A reflective layer 70 is plated on the ohmic contact layer 60. The reflective layer 70 has a reflectance greater than 8 〇% or more of the material (A1), silver (Ag), gold (Au) and other materials used to reflect the light generated by the active layer 40. If it is completed as shown in the structure diagram of "Figure 1", please refer to " Figure 2 "is a schematic diagram of the structure of a semiconductor light-emitting element during the implementation of the method of the present invention. The present invention is plated with a thickness of 50 to ιοονπι in the subsequent process of the structure as in the aforementioned" Figure 1 "as a barrier. Barrier wall 80 ', wherein the material of the barrier wall 80 is one selected from polyimide 1231729 (polyimide), bisbenzocyclobutene (BCB), and photoresist. The photolithography method is used to remove the barrier wall 80. In addition to the barrier wall outside the area of the first electrode 31 and the partially reflective layer 70, a metal pillar 90 is formed as an electrode of the semiconductor light-emitting element on the area by electroplating, and the thickness is not less than the thickness of the barrier wall 80 , Where the metal pillar 90 material can be One of aluminum (A1), silver (Ag), gold (Au), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and tin (Sn) is selected. If so, a metal pillar 90 with good thermal conductivity is formed by electroplating to make the packaged The conductive electrode of the semiconductor light-emitting element has good heat dissipation. For high-power blue and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that require large currents, the element itself has good heat dissipation. At the same time, the metal pillars 90 are emitted from the front side. For flip-chip light-emitting devices, it provides a strong support function. Finally, the method for manufacturing the semiconductor light emitting device further includes uniformly irradiating the sapphire substrate 10 with an excimer laser (a KrF excimer laser having an energy density of 400 mJ / cm2, a wavelength of 248 nm, and a pulse width of 38 ns). A heating plate heated to 60 ° C. is used to promote the sapphire substrate 10 to be separated from the semiconductor buffer layer 20 by a laser lift-off method. After the step of separating the sapphire substrate 10 is completed, please refer to "Figure 3" again, which is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor light-emitting element produced by the method of the present invention. The present invention further uses a solution such as potassium hydroxide (K0H) to etch The surface of the first conductive epitaxial layer 30 is etched by a method to promote a rough surface of the first conductive epitaxial layer 30. With this rough surface, the extraction efficiency of the active layer 40 light 1241729 is increased due to the reduction of the total reflection probability, and the light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting element is increased. The detailed theory and efficacy can be found in the Republic of China Patent Gazette No. No. 472400 "Method for roughening the surface of a semiconductor device to improve external quantum efficiency". For the AlGalnN series light-emitting devices, the effect obtained by this invention can increase the brightness by more than 40% compared with the control group. Where the present invention requires special attention, the barrier wall 80 must be removed when the subsequent packaging process temperature is greater than 400 ° C, to avoid the barrier wall 80 from melting during the subsequent packaging process, resulting in product failure. To sum up, the semiconductor light-emitting element manufactured by the method of the present invention is a light-emitting element for the sapphire substrate 10, and the formed element crystal grains are a flip-chip light-emitting element emitted from the front side. From top to bottom, it includes at least a first conductive stupid layer 30, an active layer 40, a second conductive epitaxial layer 50, an ohmic contact layer 60, a reflective layer 70, and a The first electrode 31 is located in the exposed part of the first conductive epitaxial layer 30 of the aforementioned stacked structure, and is characterized in that: a barrier wall 80 is below the area of the first electrode 31 and a part of the reflective layer 70, and is not less than the barrier The metal pillar 90 with the thickness of the wall 80 is formed in the region of the non-blocking wall 80 described above, and the surface of the first conductive epitaxial layer 30 is corroded into a rough wheel surface. Among them, the thickness of the barrier rib 80 is 50 to 100, and the material is one selected from polyimide, bisbenzcyclocyclene butene BCB, and photoresist. The material of the metal pillar 90 is one selected from aluminum (A1), silver (Ag), and gold (Au). 1241729 But when the temperature of the subsequent packaging process is greater than 400 ° C, the barrier wall 80 must be removed in two to avoid the barrier wall 80 from melting during the subsequent packaging process, which will cause product failure. For example, the metal pillar 90 with good thermal conductivity formed by the electric ore method makes the conductive electrode of the packaged semiconductor light-emitting element have good heat dissipation. For high-power blue and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that require large currents The component itself will have good heat dissipation and will be more suitable for application in light-emitting diodes with high current requirements; and the metal pillar 90 emits light in a flip-chip state emitted from the front side In terms of components, it provides a strong support function. At the same time, the surface of the n-type semiconductor layer 30 having a rough surface promotes the light extraction efficiency of the active layer 40 to increase due to a decrease in the total reflection probability, thereby increasing the brightness of the semiconductor light emitting element. However, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is to say, all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of patent application of the present invention are covered by the scope of patent of the present invention.
