1270990 A7 B7 五、發明説明() 發明領域: 本發明係有關於一種發光二極體(Light Emitting Diode ; LED)之結構與製造方法,特別是有關於一種p電極 與N電極錯綜交錯之發光二極體之結構與製造方法。 發明背景·· 近年來,許多的焦點集中在以氮化鎵為主(Gamum Nitride-based)的半導體所形成的發光元件,例如氮化鎵 (GaN)、氮化鋁鎵(AiGaN)、氮化銦鎵(InGaN)、以及氮化鋁 銦鎵(AlInGaN)等。此類的發光元件半導體大多成長於不導 電之藍寶石(Sapphire)基板上,而與其他發光元件採用可導 電的基板不同。由於藍寶石基板為一絕緣體,因此不能直接 製作電極於基板上,故電極的製作必須直接與p型的半導體 層以及N型的半導體層做各別地接觸,才能完成此類發光元 件的製作。 請參照第1圖與第2圖,其所繪示為習知以氮化鎵為主 的半導體所形成的發光二極體之上視圖以及沿著a-a,剖面 所形成的剖面圖。根據圖示,在藍寶石基板1 〇之表面上依 序形成N型氮化鎵層20、主動層^Active Layer)40、P型氮 化鎵層60、以及透明接觸層80的堆疊狀結構。上述主動層 40之材質為具有雙異質接面或者位能井結構的氮化鋁鎵、 氮化銦鎵、氮化鋁鎵銦、或氮化鎵。接著,進行一蝕刻製程, 以暴露出部分區域的N型氮化鎵層20。然後,分別在N型 氮化鎵層20以及透明接觸層80之表面上形成N電極70與 2 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210X297公釐) (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 、訂· 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 1270990 A7 B7 五、發明説明() P電極90。 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁} 上述第1圖與第2圖中所示係習知以氮化鎵為主的半導 體所形成的發光二極體,且屬於小晶片尺寸(SmaU chip Size)。此種小晶片尺寸之發光二極體之實際尺寸一般為 l〇milxi〇mil之正方形,亦可為8milx8mil之正方形。當發 光二極體的尺寸比lOmilxlOmil大時,例如2〇muX2〇mil(即 面積為40Omil2),則此種發光二極體即屬於大晶片尺寸。 t 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 習知大晶片尺寸之發光二極體的P電極與N電極之尺寸 並非隨著晶片尺寸的放大而放大。其原因在於P電極與N 電極具有遮光的本質,因此P電極與N電極之尺寸若隨著晶 片尺寸的放大而放大’則整個大晶片尺寸之發光二極體的發 光效率會隨之降低。故習知大晶片尺寸之發光二極體的p電 極與N電極之設計有其另一套做法。請參考第3圖所緣示之 習知大晶片尺寸之發光二極體的上視圖。由於第3圖為上視 圖,因此從第3圖中僅能看出習知大晶片尺寸之發光二極體 之部份元件,包括N型氮化鎵層1 2 0、N電極1 7 0、透明接 觸層180、以及P電極190等,其中N電極170位於部分之 N型氮化鎵層120上,且透明接觸丨層180位於另一部分 型氮化鎵層120上,而P電極190則位於透明接觸層180上。 此外,第3圖中更具有N銲墊175與P銲墊195,藉以做為 發光二極體進一步拉線至外部之接點。 由第3圖可知,習知大晶片尺寸之發光二極體之特色在 於具有多條之N電極170與P電極190,且任意兩條之N電 3 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210X 297公釐) 1270990 A7 B7 五、發明説明() (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 極1 70與P電極丨90並不相交。此種做法除可避免因總電極 面積過大而嚴重遮光外,更可提高電流分佈的均勻性。然 而,此種設計雖有其優點,但由於尺寸固定,因此並無依實 際需求而任意變更之可能性。 發明目的及概述: 雲於上述發明背景中,習知大晶片尺寸之發光二極體 之設計仍具有改進空間。因此本發明之一目的為提供一種 發光二極體之結構與製造方法,係以各單元發光區來設 計’可藉以提高各單元發光區發光之均勻性,且可藉以降 低元件之操作電壓。 本發明之另一目的為提供一種發光二極體之結構與製 造方法。運用本發明之結構與製造方法,使得整片晶圓上 的N電極與P電極均各別串聯,因此可任意以單元發光區 之尺寸放大切割之元件尺寸。 本發明之再一目的為提供一種發光二極體之結構與製 造方法’可藉以提高大晶片尺寸之發光二極體之光取出 率〇 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 依據本發明之上述目的,因岣本發明提供一種發光二 極體之結構,至少包括:基板;半導體磊晶結構,至少包 括N型半導體層、主動層、以及p型半導體層,其中^^型 半導體層覆蓋基板,N型半導體層之部分表面上形成有複 數個突起物,且每兩個相鄰之突起物之間具有通道,而主 動層以及P型半導體層係依序堆疊於突起物上;N型電極 4 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210X 297公釐) 1270990 Α7 五、發明説明( 曰“附著於N型半導體層上且位於通道中;以及複數個f 型電極’位於P型半導體層上。此外,本發明之發光二極 {請先閱讀背面之泌意事項再4寫本I) 體之結構更包括透明接觸層,位☆ P型半導體層與P型電 ° 再者本發明之發光二極體之結構更包括絕緣層, 覆蓋透明接觸層與Ν型電極層,且暴露出部分之Ν型電極 層,以做為Ν型銲塾之用;以及導電層,覆蓋絕緣層並連 接Ρ型電極中ρ型電極中之至少一個ρ型電極係做為 Ρ型銲墊之用。 經濟部智惡財產局員工消費合作社印製 •依據本發明之上述目的,因此本發明另提供一種發光 二極體之製造方法,至少包括下列步驟··首先,提供基板; 接著’形成Ν型半導體層覆蓋基板,其中Ν型半導體層之 部分表面上形成有複數個突起物,而每兩個相鄰之突起物 之間具有通道;接著,形成主動層覆蓋上述突起物;接著, 形成Ρ型半導體層覆蓋主動層;接著,形成透明接觸層覆 蓋Ρ型半導體層;接著,形成Ν型電極層附著於Ν型半導 體層上且位於通道中;接著,形成複數個ρ型電極附著於 透明接觸層之表面之一部分;接著,形成絕緣層覆蓋透明 接觸層與Ν型電極層,且暴露出_分之ν型電極層,以做 為Ν型銲墊之用;然後,形成導電層覆蓋絕緣層並連接上 述Ρ型電極’其中上述ρ型電極中之至少一 Ρ型電極係做 為Ρ型銲墊之用。 圖式簡單說明: 本發明的較佳實施例將於往後之說明文字中輔以下列 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(2丨0Χ 297公釐) 1270990 A7 B7 五、發明説明() 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 圖示 做更詳細的闡述, 其中: 第1圖係繪示習知以氮化鎵為主的半導體所形成的發 光二 .極體之上視圖; 第2圖係繪示第 1圖中沿 著 a-a’剖面所形成的剖面 圖; 第3圖係繪示習 知大晶片 尺寸之發光二極體的上視 圖, 第4圖係繪示本發明之一較佳實施例之大晶片尺寸之 發光二極體的上:視圖; 以及 第5圖係繪示第 4圖中沿 著 b-b’剖面所形成的剖面 圖。 圖號對照說明: 10 藍寶石基板 20 N型氮化鎵層 40 主動層 60 P型氮化鎵層 70 N電極 80 透明接觸層 90 P電極 120 N型氮化鎵層 1 70 N電極 175 N銲墊 180 透明接觸層 190 Θ電極 195 P銲墊 200 單元發光區 210 基板 220 N型半導體層 240 主動層 260 P型半導體層 270 N型電極層 275 N型銲墊 280 透明接觸層 290 P型電極 6 (請先閲背面之注意事項再填寫本¥c}1270990 A7 B7 V. INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION () Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a structure and a manufacturing method of a light emitting diode (LED), and more particularly to a light-emitting diode in which a p-electrode and an N-electrode are intricately interlaced. The structure and manufacturing method of the polar body. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, many of the focus has been on light-emitting elements formed of a GaN-based semiconductor such as gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum gallium nitride (AiGaN), and nitridation. Indium gallium (InGaN), aluminum indium gallium nitride (AlInGaN), and the like. Most of such light-emitting element semiconductors are grown on a non-conductive Sapphire substrate, and are different from other light-emitting elements in that they can be electrically conductive. Since the sapphire substrate is an insulator, the electrode cannot be directly fabricated on the substrate. Therefore, the electrode must be directly contacted with the p-type semiconductor layer and the N-type semiconductor layer to complete the fabrication of such a light-emitting element. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a top view of a light-emitting diode formed by a conventional gallium nitride-based semiconductor and a cross-sectional view taken along a-a. According to the illustration, a stacked structure of an N-type gallium nitride layer 20, an active layer 40, a P-type gallium nitride layer 60, and a transparent contact layer 80 is sequentially formed on the surface of the sapphire substrate 1 . The active layer 40 is made of aluminum gallium nitride, indium gallium nitride, aluminum gallium indium nitride, or gallium nitride having a double heterojunction or a potential well structure. Next, an etching process is performed to expose the N-type gallium nitride layer 20 in a portion of the region. Then, N electrodes 70 and 2 are formed on the surfaces of the N-type gallium nitride layer 20 and the transparent contact layer 80, respectively. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210×297 mm) (please read the back note first) Fill in this page again, order · Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Bureau employee consumption cooperative printing 1270990 A7 B7 V, invention description () P electrode 90. (Please read the precautions on the back and fill out this page.) The above-mentioned figures 1 and 2 show the light-emitting diodes formed by GaN-based semiconductors and are small wafer sizes (SmaU). Chip Size). The actual size of the light-emitting diode of such a small chip size is generally a square of l〇milxi〇mil, or a square of 8milx8mil. When the size of the light-emitting diode is larger than lOmilxlOmil, for example, 2〇muX2 〇mil (that is, the area is 40Omil2), this kind of light-emitting diode is a large wafer size. t Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Bureau employee consumption cooperative prints the P-electrode and N-electrode of the light-emitting diode of the conventional large-chip size. The size is not amplified as the size of the wafer is enlarged. The reason is that the P electrode and the N electrode have the nature of light shielding, so the size of the P electrode and the N electrode are amplified as the size of the wafer is enlarged, then the entire large wafer size is illuminated. The luminous efficiency of the polar body is also reduced. Therefore, the design of the p-electrode and the N-electrode of the light-emitting diode of the conventional large-chip size has another set of practices. Please refer to the conventional large wafer size as shown in FIG. It The upper view of the photodiode. Since Fig. 3 is a top view, only some of the components of the conventional large-diameter light-emitting diode can be seen from Fig. 3, including the N-type gallium nitride layer 1 2 0 , the N electrode 170, the transparent contact layer 180, and the P electrode 190, etc., wherein the N electrode 170 is located on a portion of the N-type gallium nitride layer 120, and the transparent contact layer 180 is located on the other portion of the gallium nitride layer 120. The P electrode 190 is located on the transparent contact layer 180. In addition, in FIG. 3, the N pad 175 and the P pad 195 are further provided, so as to further pull the light emitting diode to the external contact. It can be seen that the conventional large-wafer size LED has a plurality of N electrodes 170 and P electrodes 190, and any two of the N 3 paper sizes are applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X). 297 mm) 1270990 A7 B7 V. Inventive Note () (Please read the note on the back and then fill out this page) Pole 1 70 does not intersect P electrode 丨 90. This method can avoid the total electrode area being too large. In addition to severe shading, the uniformity of current distribution can be improved. However, this design has Advantages, but because of the fixed size, there is no possibility of arbitrarily changing according to actual needs. OBJECTS AND SUMMARY: In the above-mentioned background of the invention, the design of a conventional large-wafer size LED still has room for improvement. An object of the present invention is to provide a structure and a manufacturing method of a light-emitting diode, which are designed by using the light-emitting areas of each unit to improve the uniformity of light emission of each unit light-emitting area, and thereby reduce the operating voltage of the element.
