第1圖為本發明第一實施例之一發光裝置100之示意圖。發光裝置100包含一永久基板10、一連結層18、一反射層11、一透明導電層12、一歐姆接觸層13、一半導體窗戶層14及一發光疊層15。發光疊層15包含一p型半導體層151、一n型半導體層153及一位於p型半導體層151與n型半導體層153之間的活性 層152。半導體窗戶層14具有一平坦表面141及複數個凹槽142。每一凹槽142具有一側壁表面1421,係相對於平坦表面141傾斜且與之夾一大於90°而小於180°的角度(Θ)。較佳地,角度(Θ)介於110°到160°之間。在本實施例中,凹槽142之剖面為三角形。歐姆接觸層13形成於半導體窗戶層14與透明導電層12間,且對應於半導體窗戶層14之平坦表面141的位置上。歐姆接觸層13之表面積與半導體窗戶層14之表面積的面積比介於10%至90%。凹槽142具有一深度(H)且凹槽142之深度與半導體窗戶層14之厚度(T)的一深度比介於20%至80%。 1 is a schematic view of a light-emitting device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The light emitting device 100 includes a permanent substrate 10, a bonding layer 18, a reflective layer 11, a transparent conductive layer 12, an ohmic contact layer 13, a semiconductor window layer 14, and a light emitting laminate 15. The light emitting laminate 15 includes a p-type semiconductor layer 151, an n-type semiconductor layer 153, and an active layer between the p-type semiconductor layer 151 and the n-type semiconductor layer 153. Layer 152. The semiconductor window layer 14 has a flat surface 141 and a plurality of grooves 142. Each of the recesses 142 has a side wall surface 1421 that is inclined relative to the flat surface 141 and is angled by more than 90° and less than 180°. Preferably, the angle (Θ) is between 110° and 160°. In the present embodiment, the groove 142 has a triangular cross section. The ohmic contact layer 13 is formed between the semiconductor window layer 14 and the transparent conductive layer 12 and corresponds to the position of the flat surface 141 of the semiconductor window layer 14. The area ratio of the surface area of the ohmic contact layer 13 to the surface area of the semiconductor window layer 14 is between 10% and 90%. The groove 142 has a depth (H) and a depth ratio of the depth of the groove 142 to the thickness (T) of the semiconductor window layer 14 is between 20% and 80%.

根據第1圖,發光裝置100更包含一形成於發光疊層15上之n側電極16、一形成於永久基板10上之p側電極17。n側電極16包含一打線墊160及一自打線墊延伸之延伸部161形成於發光疊層15並對應於凹槽142的位置上。本實施例中,歐姆接觸層13實質上與半導體窗戶層14為同一材料。此外,歐姆接觸層13更包含摻雜物,以與透明導電層12形成歐姆接觸。因此,平坦表面141與透明導電層12之間的接觸電阻(contact resistance)係小於側壁表面1421與透明導電層12之間的接觸電阻,藉此,當一電源供應器連結至n側電極16與p側電極17時,大部分的電流係流經過半導體窗戶層14之平坦表面141,而在側壁表面1421與透明導電層12之間形成一電流阻擋(current blocking)的效應。更者,發自發光疊層15的光會於側壁表面1421反射且直接脫離發光疊層15之一發光表面,以增加光取出效率(light extraxtion efficiency)。半導體窗戶層14之材料包含磷化鎵(GaP)、磷化鎵銦(InGaP)、砷化鎵(GaAs)、砷化鋁鎵(AlGaAs)、及其組合。摻雜物包含鎂、鈹、鋅、碳、及其組合。 According to FIG. 1 , the light-emitting device 100 further includes an n-side electrode 16 formed on the light-emitting layer 15 and a p-side electrode 17 formed on the permanent substrate 10.

In the present embodiment, the ohmic contact layer 13 is substantially the same material as the semiconductor window layer 14. Further, the ohmic contact layer 13 further contains a dopant to form an ohmic contact with the transparent conductive layer 12. Therefore, the contact resistance between the flat surface 141 and the transparent conductive layer 12 is smaller than the contact resistance between the sidewall surface 1421 and the transparent conductive layer 12, whereby a power supply is coupled to the n-side electrode 16 and At the p-side electrode 17, most of the current flows through the flat surface 141 of the semiconductor window layer 14, creating a current blocking effect between the sidewall surface 1421 and the transparent conductive layer 12. Moreover, the light emitted from the light-emitting layer 15 is reflected by the side wall surface 1421 and directly deviated from one of the light-emitting surfaces of the light-emitting layer 15 to increase light extraxtion efficiency. The material of the semiconductor window layer 14 comprises gallium phosphide (GaP), indium gallium phosphide (InGaP), gallium arsenide (GaAs), aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs), and combinations thereof. The dopants include magnesium, barium, zinc, carbon, and combinations thereof.

The wire pad 160' and the extension portion 161' are formed at positions corresponding to the groove surface 1422 and the side wall surface 1421. Alternatively, the n-side electrode 16 may be formed only at a position corresponding to the groove surface 1422 (not shown).

The light-emitting device 300 of the third embodiment has a similar structure to the light-emitting device 100 of the first embodiment except that the side wall surface 1421 of the partial groove 142 is not inclined with respect to the flat surface 141.

The depth (H) of the recess 142 is about 0.8 μm, and the depth ratio of the depth of the recess 142 to the thickness of the semiconductor window layer 14 is about 80%.

實驗四Experiment 4

對照組一Control group one

對照組一之發光裝置與實驗一之發光裝置具有相似的結構,除了歐姆接觸層13與半導體窗戶層14並未被蝕刻。因此,並無凹槽142形成於半導體窗戶層14內。 The illuminating device of the control group has a similar structure to the illuminating device of the experiment 1, except that the ohmic contact layer 13 and the semiconductor window layer 14 are not etched. Therefore, no recess 142 is formed in the semiconductor window layer 14.

對照組二Control group two

對照組二之發光裝置與實驗三之發光裝置具有相似的結構,除了歐姆接觸層13與半導體窗戶層14並未被蝕刻。因此,並無凹槽142形成於半導體窗戶層14內。 The illuminating device of the control group 2 has a similar structure to the illuminating device of the experiment 3 except that the ohmic contact layer 13 and the semiconductor window layer 14 are not etched. Therefore, no recess 142 is formed in the semiconductor window layer 14.

表一與表二顯示實驗結果。相較於對照組一,實驗一之發光裝置的發光強度為469.18mcd,增加18%;實驗二之發光裝置的發光強度為493.68mcd,增加24%。同樣地,相較於對照組二,實驗三之發光裝置的發光強度為369.08mcd,增加12.5%;實驗四之發光裝置的發光強度為459.21mcd,增加30.4%。藉由形成凹槽142且具有傾斜之側壁表面1421,發自發光疊層15的光有效地於側壁表面1421處反射且脫離發光疊層15之一發光表面,因此發光強度增 加。此外,因凹槽更具有第二圖案,意即實驗二與實驗四的凹槽表面積大於實驗一與實驗三的凹槽表面積(約增加5%),又每一凹槽142皆具有側壁表面1421,因此有更多的側壁表面1421以反射發自發光疊層15的光。所以,實驗二與實驗四發光裝置之發光強度相對地高。 Tables 1 and 2 show the experimental results. Compared with the control group 1, the illuminating intensity of the illuminating device of Experiment 1 was 469.18mcd, which was increased by 18%; the illuminating intensity of the illuminating device of Experiment 2 was 493.68mcd, which was increased by 24%. Similarly, compared with the control group 2, the illuminating intensity of the illuminating device of Experiment 3 was 369.08 mcd, an increase of 12.5%; the illuminating intensity of the illuminating device of Experiment 4 was 459.21 mcd, an increase of 30.4%. By forming the recess 142 and having the inclined sidewall surface 1421, the light emitted from the light emitting laminate 15 is effectively reflected at the sidewall surface 1421 and deviated from one of the light emitting surfaces of the light emitting laminate 15, thereby increasing the luminous intensity. plus. In addition, since the groove has a second pattern, that is, the groove surface area of Experiment 2 and Experiment 4 is larger than the groove surface area of Experiment 1 and Experiment 3 (about 5% increase), and each groove 142 has a sidewall surface 1421 Thus, there are more sidewall surfaces 1421 to reflect light from the light emitting stack 15. Therefore, the illuminating intensity of the experiment 2 and the experimental four illuminating device is relatively high.
