- Multicolor light emitting diode methods for producing same and multicolor display incorporating an array of such LEDs.
- This invention relates to light emitting diodes (LEDs), and more particularly to multicolor LEDs of III-V compounds, and to color display devices incorporating arrays of such LEDs.
- Red, orange and yellow LEDs have existed for some time and have found widespread commercial use, notably in electronic displays.
- the recent reports of yellow, green and blue emitting LEDs holds out the promise of full color gamut displays incorporating such LEDs.
- the red, blue and green components of the color display image are separately imaged, at a high rate such that the observer cannot distinguish between the separate fields of color, but instead integrate these fields into a full color display image.
- a disadvantage of such systems is that image resolution is limited by the spatial separation of the pixels making up the individual triads, and the spatial separation of the triads from one another in the array.
- CRTs a further disadvantage is the need for high voltage.
- LCDs a further disadvantage is that the color filters reduce the light efficiency of the system.

- each color is controlled by applying individual voltages to each LED through an external bias.
- primary colors can be mixed to achieve any color within the gamut of the primary colors from the single stacked layer structure of individual LEDs.
- the stacked structure of three LEDs is achieved in a multilayer vertically oriented stack of In,.Al v Ga 1-x . v N layers epitaxially grown on a single crystal substrate, in the sequence n-i-p, p-i-n, n-i-p, where the i-active layer has the composition and/or the dopant needed to achieve the desired emission color for each LED.
- the device may be grown on sapphire, SiC, ZnO or other suitable, and preferably transparent, single crystal substrate.
- Conventional photolithographic processing steps including masking, chemical vapor deposition such as MOCVD, MBE, etching, ion implanting and metallizing may be used to fabricate me LED structures.
- a multicolor display comprising an array of multicolor LED structures of the invention.
- all pixels can be driven in parallel by a dc voltage, without the need for color filters or a high voltage power supply.

- Single crystal substrate 12 is chosen to have a lattice constant suitable for matching to those of the epi layers through one or more buffer layers.
- suitable single crystal substrate materials are alumina (sapphire), silicon carbide and zinc oxide.
- This multilayer structure may be grown by any suitable epitaxial growth technique, such MOCVD or MBE.
- Growth of epitaxial layers of In x Al y Ga ⁇ . y N in accordance with the MOCVD technique can be carried out using ammonia (NH 3 ), trimethyl gallium (TMG), trimethyl aluminum (TMA), and trimethyl indium (TMI) at a growth temperature within the range of 700-1050C.
- Bi-cyclopentadienyl magnesium (Cp 2 Mg) can be used for Mg doping, diethyl zinc (DEZ) for Zn doping, and monosilane (SiH 4 ) for Si donor doping.
- a buffer layer 14 of n+ GaN is grown on the surface of the substrate 12 in order to improve the structural quality of the subsequently grown epi layers.
- This buffer layer also serves as an electrical contact layer for the first LED structure, and for this purpose is made n+ by doping with Si or other suitable dopant in the known manner.
- the next epi layer 22 is the first layer of the red-emitting diode 16.
- Layer 22 has the composition Al v Ga, -y N, where y is for example 0.2, and is doped n, i.e:., to a higher level, resulting in a conductivity level less than that of the buffer layer underneath.
- This layer 22 is the first cladding layer for the next layer 24, which is the active or light emitting layer.
- the thickness of the cladding layers may be from 200 up to 5000 A.ngstroms in thickness.
- Layer 24 is In x Ga 1-x N:Zn, and is essentially electrically insulating.
- the thickness of the active layers in this structure is from 15 up to 300 Angstroms, above which strain and defects become excessive.
- the next layer 26 is the second, p-type, cladding layer of Al y Ga,. y N, having essentially the same composition as the n-type cladding layer 22, but doped with Mg to result in a p-type conductivity.
- the final layer of the red emitting LED 16 is layer 28, having the composition GaN and being doped p+ with Mg to act as a common electrical contact layer for the red-emitting LED 16 and the green-emitting LED 18.
- the first layer of the green-emitting LED 18, has the composition Al x Ga j-x N, and is doped p-type.
- the next layer 34 is the second, n-type cladding layer having a composition n-Al y Ga,. y N, and doped with Si.
- the final layer of the green LED structure 18 is n-f- GaN layer 36, which acts as a common electrical contact layer for the green LED structure 18 and the final, blue emitting LED structure 20. This layer is also doped with Si.
- the blue emitting LED structure consists of n Al x Ga,. x N cladding layer 38, active layer 40, p Al y Ga,. y N cladding layer 42, and a final p+ GaN contact layer 44. Atop this layer 44 is a thin, semi transparent metal electrode layer 62 of Ni/Au alloy or other suitable electrode material.
- the contact layers of GaN are doped with either Mg or Si to achieve p or n type conductivity, in the known manner. Typical doping levels are used to achieve carrier concentrations of 10 19 - lC Vcubic centimeter, resulting in a conductivity of about 1 /ohm-cm. for p type, and 10 13 /cubic centimeter, resulting in a conductivity of about 10 3 /ohm-cm. for n type.
- the cladding layers of Al y Ga,. y N, where x is for example, 0.2, are also doped with either Mg or Si to achieve p type or n type conductivity.
- Typical doping levels are used to achieve carrier concentrations of 10 13 - 10"/cubic centimeter, resulting in a conductivity of about 2xl0'Vohm-cm. for the p type layers, and 5xl0 17 /cubic centimeter, resulting in a conductivity of about 10 2 /ohm-cm. for the n type layers.
- the active layers all have the composition In x Ga,. x N:Zn, having a value of ⁇ up to 1.0, chosen to achieve a band gap suitable for the emission of the desired wavelength of light, for example, about 1.0 for red emission, about 0.45 for green emission and in the range of about 0.15-0.25 for blue emission.
- emission wavelength of the active layer can also be controlled through Zn doping. See in this regard H. Amano et al., J. Crystal Growth 93 (1988) 79-82, and J. Pankove, Mat. Res. Soc. Symp. Proc., Materials Res. Soc, vol. 162, p.
- the LED structures 16, 18 and 20 are preferably cylindrically shaped, i.e., circular in plan view, and arranged concentrically. This results in the stepped or "wedding cake" structure shown in the section view of Fig. 1. As will be readily appreciated, this structure may be achieved by first growing the epi layers in succession, and then carrying out a series of masking and etching steps using conventional photoresist and etching materials and techniques to define the individual LEDs.
- An exemplary method comprises the steps of:
- the resultant stepped structure enables the convenience of depositing electrodes for each LED on the exposed portion of its top surface.
- electrode 48 is formed on the top of red LED 16 and electrode 50 is formed on the top of green LED 18.
- Exemplary materials for forming the electrodes are Au/Ni alloy for contact to the p-type layers and Al or a Ti/Al alloy for contact to the n-type layers.
- a common ground electrode 46 for the entire structure is formed on the buffer layer 14.
- the final electrode for the blue LED is a thin (100-300 Angstroms) semi- transparent layer of for example a Ni/Au alloy. This layer allows the collection of light from the top of the multilayer multicolor LED structure. Alternatively, the use of a transparent substrate such as sapphire would allow the collection of light from the bottom of the structure. Such light collection may be enhanced by the formation of a mirror on iJie side of the multicolor LED structure opposite the transparent side.
- DH double heterostructure
- the relative intensity of these colors is controlled by external voltages applied to the individual LEDs of the structure, allowing for the "mixing'' of the primary colors to achieve any arbitrary color from a single multicolor LED structure.
- Each pixel in the display can be scaled down to a size on the order of a few microns, using well known photolithographic techniques employed in the fabrication of integrated circuits.
- the active areas of the red and blue LEDs can be confined by forming high resistivity current blocking regions.
- regions 56, 58, 60 and 62 are shown in Fig. 1. These regions are formed by ion implantation of a dopant such as oxygen or hydrogen to a resistivity of the order of IO" 2 ohm-cm, in the known manner.
- current blocking regions could be formed by the growth of separate layers of opposite conductivity type to create reverse biased p-n junction barriers to the majority carriers.
- a multicolor LED structure having such current blocking layers is shown in cross section in Fig. 2, and the sequence of processing stages to arrive at the structure of Fig. 2 is illustrated in Figs. 3(a) through 3(f).
- a buffer layer 72 of n+ GaN is grown on the substrate, after which the first three layers of a red LED structure are formed, in the order of: n-AlGaN cladding layer 80, InGaN:Zn active layer 82 and p-AlGaN cladding layer 84. Then, a current blocking layer 86 of n-AlGaN is formed. Next, a portion of current blocking layer 86 is removed by masking and selective etching, to result in the structure shown in Fig. 3(b).
- the contact layer 88 of p+GaN is formed, followed by the layers of the green LED, including the first cladding layer 90 of p-AlGaN, the active layer 92 of InGaN:Zn, and the second cladding layer 94 of n-AlGaN.
- a second blocking layer 96 of p- AlGaN is then formed on the green LED structure, as shown in Fig. 3(c), and a portion of this blocking layer is removed by etching, resulting in the structure shown in Fig. 3(d).
- the contact layer 98 of n+GaN between the green and the blue LEDs is formed, followed by the layers of the blue LED, including first cladding layer 100 of n-AlGaN, active layer 102 of InGaN:Zn, and second cladding layer 104 of p-AlGaN. Finally, contact layer 106 of p+ GaN, as shown in Fig. 3(e).
- the areas to be occupied by the LEDs can instead be defined initially by first depositing a mask of a material having a poor sticking coefficient such as SiO 2 , forming an aperture in the mask to define the area of the first LED to be formed, forming the first LED structure on U e mask, and then lifting the mask off the substrate, such as by treatment in HF, to also lift off the unwanted portions of the LED layers overlying the mask.
- the second mask is then lifted off, leaving blue LED 207.
- a third mask 208 is then deposited, as shown in Fig. 4(c), having an aperture defining the area of the green LED, and the layers 210 of the blue LED are deposited.
- the third mask 208 is then lifted off, leaving blue LED 211, to complete the wedding cake structure shown in Fig. 4(d).
- the metallization is carried out to form the electrodes 108, 110, 112 and 114, as shown in Fig. 2, with the blocking layers 86 and 96 serving to confine the active areas of the red and green LEDs to the central regions of these LED structures.
- a simple circuit for driving the multicolor LED of the invention is shown schematically in Fig. 5. In this circuit, the current through each LED is controlled by a high input impedance transistor.
- the circuit has first, second and third LEDs, each LED having an input and an output and having a different peak wavelength of light emission; first, second and third field effect transistors, one for each of the individual LEDs, each transistor having a source, a drain and a gate; first, second and third voltage inputs, V B , V G and V R , one for each of the individual LEDs; a high voltage input V H ; a low voltage input V L ; and a ground; wherein the high voltage input V H is connected to the sources of the first and third transistors S, and S 3 , respectively; the first and third voltage inputs V B and V R are connected to the gates of the first and third transistors S, and S 3 , respectively; the drain of the first transistor S, is connected to the input of the first (blue) LED; the drain of the third transistor S 3 is connected to the inputs of the second (green) and third (red) LEDs; the low voltage is connected to the source of the second transistor S 2 ; the second voltage input V 0 is connected to
- V ⁇ , v B and V R depend on the transistor implementation.
- p channel MESFETs metal semiconductor field effect transistor
- n channel MESFET for the green LED as shown in Fig. 6, 0 ⁇ V B , V R ; V G ⁇ 0, because the transistors are on when the gate voltage is zero.
- Electrodes 302 and 310, connected to V H are the sources for p-channel MESFETs S, and S 3 , respectively, while contact layers 44 and 28 are the drains, and electrodes 314 and 48, connected to V B and V R , respectively, are the gates.
- Contact layer 36 is the source for n-channel MESFET S 2 , while electrode 306, connected to V L , is the drain, and electrode 50, connected to V Q , is the gate.
- I R f . CV. - f 2 (V G ) + f,(V B ) (5)
- Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a color display 700 comprising a two dimensional array of multicolor LED structures 702 of the invention, each structure 702 consisting of a red, a blue and a green light emitting LED 702a, 702b and 702c, respectively.
- These structures 702 are arranged in rows and columns, between which are located column electrodes 704 and row electrodes 706, each column consisting of a triplet of V R , V G and V B electrodes, and each row consisting of a doublet of V H and V L electrodes.
- An exemplary interconnection between structures 702 and the row and column electrodes is shown in the third row and third column, wherein red LED 702a is connected to V H and V R , green LED 702b is connected to V L and V 0 , and blue LED 702c is connected to V H and V B .
- Such an array can be addressed a row at a time, in the conventional manner.
- the DH LED layer sequence for the three LED structure has been described in terms of n-p, p-n, n-p (or p-n, n-p, p-n), since this structure has certain advantages such as a minimal number of layers and external contacts, the sequence could also be: p-n, p-n, p-n (or n-p, n-p, n-p), which structure, while requiring more layers and external contacts, has the advantage of more independent operation of the individual LED's. Thus, where each LED has two external contacts, the operating voltages for each LED are completely independent of one another.
