Definitions
- the subject matter of the present invention is directed generally to the manufacture of transferable semiconductor dice and, more particularly, is concerned with a transfer- enabling apparatus providing semiconductor dice on a first substrate with anchors such that the dice can be transferred from the first substrate to a second substrate, and a method for manufacturing the transfer-enabling apparatus.
- LEDs offers an efficient and long-lived alternative to fluorescent, high-intensity discharge, and incandescent lamps.
- Many LED light sources employ high-powered LEDs, which pose thermal management and other related problems.
- Another drawback with state-of-the-art LED devices is their high initial cost.
- GaN gallium nitride
- GaN-based LEDs are epitaxially grown on sapphire wafers, following which the wafers are scribed with a laser or diamond stylus and then mechanically cleaved into individual LED dice. This process limits the minimum size of the dice that can be economically generated from the wafers, as there needs to be a minimum spacing for the "streets" between the dice. At some point the area occupied by the streets exceeds the economic yield of small dice from the wafer.
- the subject matter of the present invention provides such an innovation wherein growth of high quality and high performance GaN-based LEDs on a source substrate is achieved, while at the same time a transfer-enabling apparatus for easy and cost-effective transfer of the LED dice from the wafer to a target substrate and a method for manufacturing the transfer-enabling apparatus are provided.
- One aspect of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a transfer- enabling apparatus which includes patterning a source substrate, growing epitaxial layers on the patterned substrate, creating epitaxial islands that include semiconductor dice
- anchors of width less than or equal to the dice, and partially releasing the semiconductor dice from the substrate to form the transfer-enabling apparatus wherein the semiconductor dice remain interconnected one to the next and suspended above the source substrate by the anchors.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a transfer-enabling apparatus, produced by the manufacturing method, which includes a source substrate patterned with islands separated by trenches and an epitaxial layer, grown at least on the islands, providing semiconductor dice partially released from the substrate and suspended over the substrate, and interconnected, by anchors of epitaxial or other material that are attached to the substrate.
- the anchors are of width less than or equal to the semiconductor dice and define fracture zones at connections of the anchors with the semiconductor dice.
- the source substrate allows for growth of the desired epitaxial layer or layers and also allows an optional first sacrificial layer to be epitaxially grown on the source substrate.
- the source substrate or sacrificial layer is patterned with trenches to create a single-level or dual-level (upper and lower level) surface profile.
- One or more epitaxial layers are grown on the patterned substrate, thereby creating islands of semiconductor dice.
- the epitaxial material is then released from the source substrate, a portion of the source substrate, or a sacrificial layer of the substrate, using wet etching, dry etching, or laser liftoff techniques, creating suspended semiconductor dice interconnected with the anchors that enable transfer to a target substrate using transfer stamp printing or wafer bonding techniques.
- the method reduces manufacturing complexity and cost, and at the same time increases epitaxial quality and yield.
- a particular advantage of the anchors is that they maintain the position and orientation of the semiconductor dice during transfer by the apparatus with subnanometer precision, thereby enabling a variety of transfer techniques that would not otherwise be possible.
- the shape and depth of the trenches and the thickness of the epitaxial growth material are chosen to leave parts of the side walls of the substrate exposed, thus allowing the die release process to proceed from these surfaces.
- the shape and depth of the trenches and the thickness of the epitaxial growth material and any other additional material are also chosen to provide temporary anchoring of the semiconductor during the release process and to provide for easy semiconductor die transfer from the source substrate.

- a particular patterning technique is selected such that the trenches 16 will be single-level (have essentially the same depth) as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, or the trenches 16, 22 will be dual, or upper and lower, levels (have two different depths) as shown in FIGS. 2D and 2E.
- the particular patterning techniques selected will depend on the type of anchors, epitaxial and non-epitaxial (to be described below), to be produced as part of the transfer-enabling apparatus. Also, as can be seen in FIGS.
- the upper level has a width less than or equal to the lower level.
- Patterning of the trenches 16 and 22 can be performed by several known methods, including wet etching, reactive ion etching, ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) etching, ICP (inductively coupled plasma) etching or other dry etching process, laser-induced ablation, or mechanical cutting.
- the depth of each etching step may be controlled by incorporating etch stops (see below) into the substrate, by controlling the time of the etching process, or any other means known to those skilled in the art.
- an epitaxial layer 30, as shown in FIG. 3A, is grown on the patterned substrate 10 such that semiconductor dice 36 are formed on the islands 14.
- the epitaxial layer 30 is grown such that certain faces of the substrate 10 remain accessible, from which release etching or laser liftoff can proceed as described below.
- anchors 34 or 87 are formed between and interconnect the semiconductor dice 36 or 88 in the trenches 16, 22 and 84 (FIG. 8A) of the substrate 10 or 90.
- the anchors are provided to interconnect and secure the semiconductor dice one to the next and also individually to the substrate 10 or 90 during and after the release step 110 to be described below.
- the anchors 34 or 87 are of a width less than or equal to the width of the semiconductor dice 36 or 88.
- Anchors are grouped in two different categories. Depending on the type of anchor desired, forming of the anchors 34 as shown in FIG.
- epitaxial anchors 34 (FIG. 3B), as mentioned above, are created during the growth of the epitaxial layer 30.
- the surface profile of the substrate 10 is created such that during the growth of the epitaxial layer (or layers) 30 an overlap of the epitaxial material deposited in specific locations in the trenches 16 and 22 overlaps with epitaxial material grown on the islands 14, creating a connection.
- non-epitaxial anchors 87 can be fabricated of metallic, photoresist or other organic materials and are created after completion of the epitaxial growth in step 106.
- the position and shape of the anchors 87 can be defined through a photolithographic metallization process or a localized deposition including droplet dispensing, inkjet deposition, or screen printing.

- FIGS. 4A-4E each displays a square semiconductor chip, FIG. 4C a hexagonal design and FIG. 4E a rectangular design. It should be readily understood that also circular, elliptical, triangular, compound shapes or irregular shapes or other shapes known to those skilled in the art can be utilized.
- the size and shape of the semiconductor dice can be optimized for parameters such as epitaxial usage and die performance.
- the semiconductor dice are rectangular LEDs each with a large length over width ratio. A large length-over-width ratio can be beneficial in LED performance.

- the manufacturing method depicted by the flow diagram 100 is performed to produce the transfer-enabled apparatus 4, as shown in FIG. 3B, having the first category epitaxial anchors 34.
- a substrate 10 provided in step 102 is subjected to a first or level-one of a dual-level etching in step 104, using the known techniques mentioned above. This first etching produces trenches 16 between islands 14 of a depth di as shown in FIG. 2C.
- the shape and size of the islands 14 approximately define the two-dimensional shape and size of the semiconductor dice 36 to be ultimately produced in the epitaxial growth step 106.
- the substrate island 14 has a linear dimension L of about lOOum and an approximately square form.
- a second or level-two of the dual-level etching is carried out in step 104, again using known techniques, producing the features shown in FIGS. 2D and 2E.

- the first and second trenches 16, 22 have two levels. Regions 24 of the initial or first trenches 16 that are not further etched, are less deep than regions 20 of the further etched second trenches 22, resulting in greater exposure of the side faces 32 of the substrate islands 14.

- the epitaxial layer 30 may include one or more layers of the same or different materials.
- the epitaxial layer may be a blue LED and the structure may include a buffer layer, a n-doped layer, one or more active layers (single or multi quantum well), and a p-doped layer.
- the depth di of the region 24 of the first trench 16, the depth d 2 , of the region 20 of the second trench 22, and the thickness t of the epitaxial growth layer 30 are chosen such that vertical overlap between portions of the epitaxial growth layer 30 deposited on the island 14 and in the first trench 16 is achieved due to the "overgrowing" of the region 24, while maintaining a gap between the portions of the epitaxial growth layer 30 deposited on the island 14 and in the second trench 22 is achieved due to the "undergrowing" of the region 20.
- step 108 the portion of the epitaxial growth layer 30 deposited on first trench 16 so as to "overgrow" region 24 concurrently forms the epitaxial anchors 34 that attach to the substrate 10 (via first trench 16) and also, due the aforementioned overlap, provide interconnections between the semiconductor dice 36.
- the thickness t of the epitaxial layer 30 satisfies the following conditions:
- the thickness of the di, d 2 and t can be selected such that vertical overlap provides an intersecting fracture zone 31 through the anchors 34 that occurs only below the active layer of the epitaxy (semiconductor dice) 36 deposited on the substrate islands 14.
- semiconductor dice 36 formed on the substrate islands 14 may be subject to further processing, such as definition of p and n contacts, metallization, annealing and passivation. After such further processing, if any, in step 110, the substrate 10 is etched via the exposed side faces 32 of the substrate islands 14, which results in the partial release of the

- the thickness t of the epitaxial layer 30 and the depth di of the region 24 of the first trench 16 can be selected so that the resulting epitaxial anchors 34 can be easily broken or fractured by a preselected force, such as a vertical force, an oblique force, a shear force, a combination of these forces or a torque, for example if the semiconductor dice 36 are peeled off.

- step 108 the portion of the epitaxial layer 30 deposited in region 24 will concurrently form the anchors 34 to semiconductor dice 36.

- the substrate 10 is etched via the exposed side faces 32 of the substrate islands 14, which results in the partial release of the semiconductor dice 36 from the substrate 10, as seen in FIG. 3E.
- Partial release of the semiconductor dice in step 110 can be performed using a laser liftoff process.
- the liftoff process results in the sacrificial layer 40 being ablated with the resultant plasma being vented via the side portions 32.
- the transfer-enabling apparatus 4 is shown which includes semiconductor die 36 suspended over the remaining substrate 10 with the gap 38 created by laser ablation of the sacrificial GaN layer 40, and supported by the epitaxial anchors 34 grown on the layer 39.
