Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device having an n electrode and a p electrode made of a transparent conductive film on the same surface side.
- the present invention relates to a group III nitride semiconductor light emitting device.
- the p-type layer has a higher resistivity than the n-type layer even when the resistance reduction treatment is performed, so that the current in the horizontal direction on the surface in the p-type layer is higher. Therefore, it is necessary to form an electrode layer over a wide area on the upper surface of the p-type layer. Further, since an insulator such as sapphire is used as the substrate, it is necessary to form an electrode for the lower n-type layer on the upper surface of the element.
- the p-type layer, the light emitting layer, etc. existing above the n-type layer are removed by etching. It was necessary to form an electrode on the exposed upper surface of the n-type layer and then form a translucent electrode on the upper surface of the p-type layer.
- the exposure of the n-type layer, the formation of the n-electrode on the n-type layer, the formation of the translucent electrode on the p-type layer, and a number of photolithography and etching steps were required.
- the translucent electrode is formed on the p-type layer after the n-type layer exposure step, the alignment between the exposed n-type layer and the p-type layer is accurately performed.
- a translucent electrode has to be formed on the p-type layer that has receded from the boundary portion (step edge) by about several ⁇ m. For this reason, since the p-type layer part in which the translucent electrode is not formed exists, the part which does not contribute to light emission exists, and the luminous efficiency is reduced.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 In order to solve this problem, techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below exist.
- a translucent electrode made of metal and an SiO 2 layer are formed on the entire surface of a p-type layer, and then a photoresist is applied to the entire surface of the SiO 2 layer, and photolithography is performed.
- the SiO 2 layer of the exposed portion to be of the n-type layer is wet-etched.
- a semiconductor layer such as a p-type layer is dry-etched to expose a part of the n-type layer, and the SiO 2 layer is removed by wet etching.
- the number of steps is reduced, and the translucent electrode is formed up to the exposed boundary between the n-type layer and the p-type layer, so that the light emission efficiency can be improved.
- conductive atoms such as metal adhere to the pn junction portion on the side surface of the step, so that the reliability of the element is lowered.
- the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 uses ITO for the transparent electrode on the p-type layer.
- a photoresist is applied to the entire surface of the layer, and the ITO film to be exposed of the n-type layer is formed by photolithography. Wet etching. Then, using the remaining ITO film and photoresist as a mask, a semiconductor layer such as a p-type layer is dry etched to expose a part of the n-type layer. Further, when an electric field is applied to the edge portion of the p-type layer in the etched step, the electrostatic withstand voltage decreases.
- the ITO film is formed at a position recessed by about 3 ⁇ m from the edge portion so that an electric field is not applied to the edge portion of the p-type layer. For this reason, when the ITO film using the mask is wet-etched, the ITO film is undercut etched to a position retracted from the edge portion of the mask. As a result, the edge of the ITO film is positioned at a position retreated from the edge portion of the p-type layer so that an electric field is not applied to the edge portion of the stepped p-type layer.
- an object of the present invention is to simplify the manufacturing process, improve the light emission efficiency of the element, and improve the reliability of the element in a light emitting element using a transparent conductive film as an electrode.
- a substrate a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type formed on the substrate, a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, and a second semiconductor layer Second light emitting electrode made of transparent conductive film formed thereon and semiconductor light emitting by etching from the second semiconductor layer side to expose the electrode forming portion of the first semiconductor layer and forming the first electrode in this electrode forming portion
- a transparent conductive film is formed on the entire surface of the second semiconductor layer, a photoresist is applied on the formed transparent conductive film, and a photo on the electrode forming portion of the first semiconductor layer is formed.
- the photoresist When the resist is removed, the photoresist is removed so that the thickness of the remaining photoresist gradually decreases toward the portion to be removed at the contour portion of the removed portion, and the remaining photoresist is removed.
- Wet transparent conductive film as a mask Etching to expose a portion of the second semiconductor layer, and using the remaining photoresist and transparent conductive film as a mask, dry etching is performed to expose the electrode forming portion of the first semiconductor layer, and the remaining photoresist A method of manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device, wherein a portion exposed by dry etching of a transparent conductive film is subjected to wet etching, and the remaining photoresist is removed.
- the light-emitting element can be used for a face-up wire-bonding type light-emitting element that outputs light to the outside through a transparent conductive film.
- the light emitting element is a flip chip that uses a translucent substrate and uses so-called face down in which the semiconductor layer side is bonded to the lead frame with the translucent substrate facing up, and outputs light from the translucent substrate side. It may be a type of semiconductor light emitting device.
- the present invention can be used for an element in which a reflective film is formed directly on a transparent conductive film or with an insulating film interposed.
- the material of the semiconductor is arbitrary, but the present invention is particularly effective when a III-group nitride semiconductor is used for each layer.
- the second semiconductor layer on which the transparent conductive film is formed may be either a p-type semiconductor or an n-type semiconductor.
- a transparent conductive film for a p-type semiconductor having a specific resistance higher than that of an n-type semiconductor.
- the first conductivity type is n-type
- the second conductivity type is p-type
- the first semiconductor layer is an n-type semiconductor layer
- the second semiconductor layer is a p-type semiconductor layer.
- the first conductivity type may be a p-type
- the second conductivity type may be an n-type
- the first semiconductor layer may be a p-type semiconductor layer
- the second semiconductor layer may be an n-type semiconductor layer.
- the uppermost layer which is farthest from the substrate, is a III-group nitride semiconductor, it is usually a p-type semiconductor because of the p-type treatment.
- the layer farthest from the support substrate is an n-type semiconductor layer. Therefore, the second semiconductor layer on which the transparent conductive film is formed has any conductivity type. The present invention is applicable.
- the thickness of the remaining photoresist is gradually reduced toward the removed portion in the removed contour portion.
- the formation of the photoresist can be realized by controlling the exposure dose distribution of the photoresist and controlling the thickness of the photoresist after development. For example, when the exposed portion of the photoresist is removed during development, it is realized by gradually decreasing the exposure amount toward the remaining side at the contour that is the boundary between the portion where the photoresist is removed and the remaining portion. can do.
- the thickness gradually decreases toward the removed region, and an inclined surface (hereinafter, this portion is referred to as an “inclined portion”) is formed in the contour portion.
- a transparent conductive film is formed on the entire surface of the second semiconductor layer, a photoresist is applied on the entire surface of the film, and then the photoresist corresponding to the electrode forming portion of the first semiconductor layer is removed by photolithography. Is done. Then, the transparent conductive film is wet etched using the remaining photoresist as a mask. Thereafter, dry etching for exposing the first semiconductor layer is performed using the transparent conductive film and the photoresist as a mask. Therefore, the step of exposing the first semiconductor layer and the step of forming the transparent conductive film on the second semiconductor layer can be performed by one photolithography, and the manufacturing process is simplified.
- the transparent conductive film is not formed after forming the electrode forming portion of the first semiconductor layer, there is no alignment at the time of mask formation, the manufacturing is simplified, and the entire surface of the second semiconductor layer is formed. Since a transparent conductive film can be formed, luminous efficiency can be improved. Moreover, since the transparent conductive film is formed on the entire surface of the second semiconductor layer, the cross-sectional area of the flowing current path is increased, so that the resistance is reduced and the driving voltage can also be reduced. Further, the photoresist has an inclined portion whose thickness decreases at the boundary with the portion to be removed. A predetermined thin portion of the inclined portion is etched and disappears in the dry etching process for exposing the first semiconductor layer. The transparent conductive film is exposed at the removed portion.
- the transparent conductive film Since the transparent conductive film has higher resistance than the semiconductor layer in dry etching, it remains difficult to be etched. Even if the etching is performed, the inclined portion of the photoresist is present on the upper portion, so that the start of etching of the transparent conductive film is delayed, so that the entire thickness of the transparent conductive film is not etched. As such, the thickness of the photoresist and the thickness of the transparent conductive film are determined. After the etching, the exposed transparent conductive film is wet-etched using the photoresist as a mask, so that a portion corresponding to a thin predetermined region in the inclined portion of the photoresist is etched.
- the edge of the transparent conductive film recedes from the contour portion of the electrode forming portion of the first semiconductor layer by the predetermined region portion of the inclined portion. Since the retracted position can be controlled by the width and angle of the inclined portion of the photoresist, the retracted position can be set to a very small amount very accurately. As a result, a transparent conductive film can be formed on almost the entire surface of the second semiconductor layer, so that the light emission efficiency of the light emitting element can be improved.
- the transparent conductive film is wet-etched after the dry etching that exposes the first semiconductor layer, conductive metal atoms adhere to the pn junction on the side surface of the step formed in the dry etching process. However, since it is removed in this wet etching step, the reliability of the element is improved.
