Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip, and more particularly, to a side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip, which includes a first and second reflective layers formed on both surfaces thereof, respectively, so as to enable light to be emitted only from the sides thereof, and to a light-emitting chip having the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip.
- GaN-based nitride semiconductor light-emitting devices have been mainly studied. Such GaN-based nitride semiconductor light-emitting devices have been applied to blue and green light-emitting devices (LEDs), high-speed switching and high-power devices such as MESFETs and HEMTs, and the like.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional nitride semiconductor light-emitting device.

Description
The present invention relates to a nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip, and more particularly, to a side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip, which includes a first and second reflective layers formed on both surfaces thereof, respectively, so as to enable light to be emitted only from the sides thereof, and to a light-emitting chip having the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip.
In recent years, among nitride semiconductor light-emitting devices, GaN-based nitride semiconductor light-emitting devices have been mainly studied. Such GaN-based nitride semiconductor light-emitting devices have been applied to blue and green light-emitting devices (LEDs), high-speed switching and high-power devices such as MESFETs and HEMTs, and the like.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional nitride semiconductor light-emitting device.
Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 1 includes: a lead frame 10 having terminals 12; a light-emitting diode chip 20 mounted on the lead frame 10; metal wires 60 that electrically connect the terminals 12 of the lead frame 10 to the light-emitting diode chip 20; a lead frame mold cup 30 having a window that exposes the light-emitting diode chip 20; a reflective layer 50 formed on the sidewall of the lead frame mold cup 30; an epoxy resin layer 40 filled in the lead frame mold cup 30; and a lens 70 attached to the epoxy resin layer 40.
The conventional nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 1 having this configuration has a shortcoming in that the design of the lead frame mold cup 30 and the reflective layer 50 can necessarily narrow the beam angle of light.
Particularly, when the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 1 is to be mounted on the cover bottom of a direct-type LED TV, the lens 70 is attached to the epoxy resin layer 40 to increase the beam angle of light to 120 so that the lights emitted from the light-emitting diode 20 will be easily mixed. When this lens 70 is attached, process failure frequently occurs due to misalignment. In addition, the attachment of the lens 70 leads not only to an increase in the thickness of the conventional nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 1, but also to an increase in the thickness of a direct-type LED TV, thus making it difficult to satisfy light, thin, short and small requirements.

Also, the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device and the light-emitting device having the same according to the embodiment of the present invention do not require a lens, and thus have a light, thin, short and small configuration.

Hereinafter, a side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention and a light-emitting device including the same will be described with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, a side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip 105 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light-emitting diode 120 and a molding 150.
The light-emitting diode 120 has a light-emitting structure 122, a first reflective layer 124 and a second reflective layer 129. Also, the light-emitting diode 120 further includes a first bonding pad 126 and a second bonding pad 127.
The light-emitting diode 122 is formed on one surface of a substrate 121, and has a first conductivity type nitride layer, an active layer and a second conductivity type nitride layer.
The first reflective layer 124 is formed on the second conductivity type nitride layer, and the second reflective layer 129 is formed on a surface of the substrate 121 opposite to the surface on which the light-emitting structure 122 is formed.
Herein, each of the first and second reflective layers 124 and 129 preferably has a diameter of 0.1-10 ㎛, and more preferably 0.1-5 ㎛. If the thickness of each of the first and second reflective layers 124 and 129 is less than 0.1 ㎛, the first and second reflective layers 124 and 129 will not sufficiently exhibit their function. On the other hand, the thickness of each of the first and second reflective layers 124 and 129 is more than 10 ㎛, an increase in the thickness will increase the fabrication cost without further increasing the effect, and will lead to a result contrary to the current trend toward thin, small, short and small characteristics.
Each of the first and second reflective layers 124 and 129 may be made of at least one material selected from among titanium (Ti), zinc (Zn), niobium (Nb), tungsten (W), tin (Sn), zirconium (Zr), strontium (Sr), tantalum (Ta), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), palladium (Pd), ruthenium (Ru), platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), compounds, mixtures, oxides and sulfides thereof.
The first bonding pad 126 is formed over the first conductivity type nitride layer of the light-emitting structure 122, and the second bonding pad 127 is formed over the second conductivity type nitride layer of the light-emitting structure 122.
The molding 150 is formed to cover the side surfaces 120c of the light-emitting diode 120. This molding 150 is preferably formed to cover at least two sides of the light-emitting diode 120. As shown in FIG. 2, the molding 150 may be formed to cover the four side surfaces 120c of the light-emitting diode 120 having a hexahedral shape and to cover the upper surface of the second reflective layer 129. Alternatively, the molding 150 may also be formed to cover only the four side surfaces 120c of the light-emitting diode 120 having a hexahedral shape.
The side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention includes the light-emitting diode having the first and second reflective layers formed on both surfaces thereof, respectively, so as to enable light to be emitted only from the sides of the light-emitting chip and prevent the color coordinates from changing according to the thickness of the molding on the upper and side surfaces of the light-emitting chip, thereby easily realizing white light.
Meanwhile, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, a side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light-emitting diode 120, a package substrate 110, electrode terminals 130, and a molding 150.
The light-emitting diode 120 shown in FIG. 3 may be substantially the same as the light-emitting diode described above with reference to FIG. 2. In other words, the light-emitting diode 120 has an upper surface 120a, a lower surface 120b, and side surfaces 120c that connect the upper surface 120a and the lower surface 120b to each other. This light-emitting diode 120 is flip-bonded to the upper surface 110a of the package substrate 110 in such a manner that the upper surface 120a thereof faces the upper surface 110a of the package substrate 110. Also, the light-emitting diode 120 has first and second reflective layers 124 and 129 on both surfaces thereof. In FIG. 3, the light-emitting diode 120 is shown to be attached in a flip-chip form, but is not limited thereto, and may also be attached in the form of a lateral type chip or a vertical type chip. This light-emitting diode 120 may include a light-emitting structure (not shown), a first reflective layer 124, a first bonding pad (not shown), a second bonding pad (not shown), and an insulating layer (not shown) and a second reflective layer 129, but is not limited to this configuration.
The package substrate 110 has an upper surface 110a and a lower surface 110b opposite the upper surface 110a. To the package substrate 110, the light-emitting diode 120 is flip-bonded. Herein, the package substrate 110 may be any one selected from among a printed circuit board (PCB), a lead frame, a ceramic substrate, a metal substrate and the like.
The electrode terminals 130 are formed in the package substrate 110, and function to apply an electrical signal to the light-emitting diode 120. One end of each of such electrode terminals 130 is electrically connected to each of the first binding pad (not shown) and second bonding pad (not shown) of the light-emitting diode 120, and the other end extends to the lower surface 110b of the package substrate 110. Herein, the light-emitting diode 120 is attached to the upper surface 110a of the package substrate 110, and then the first bonding pad and second bonding pad of the light-emitting diode 120 are electrically connected to the electrode terminals 130, respectively, by eutectic bonding or soldering. When this eutectic bonding or solder bonding is used, the electrical connection path is shortened to reduce electrical resistance, and the heat dissipation path is shortened, compared to a conventional process that uses metal wires. Thus, it is possible to fabricate a high-power device to which a high current can be applied.
When soldering is used, the first and second bonding pads are electrically connected to the electrode terminals by bumps 160 composed of an alloy of two or more elements selected from among Cr, Ti, Pt, Au, Mo and Sn, for example, Au/Sn, Pt/Au/Sn, Cr/Au/Sn, or the like. Particularly, each of the bumps 160 is preferably a metal layer including one or more selected from among Au and Sn. Meanwhile, for eutectic bonding, an alloy including Sn, Ag, Cu or the like may be used. Particularly, an AuSn alloy, a NiSn alloy or an AgSn alloy is preferably used. Accordingly, the first and second bonding pads in the present invention can be bonded not only by soldering, but also by eutectic bonding, and thus the light-emitting diode can be mounted using any one selected from among the two bonding processes.
Although not shown in the drawings in detail, each of the electrode terminals 130 may include a metal layer (not shown) made of one or more selected from among copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W) and the like, and a surface layer (not shown) formed by plating or surface-treating the metal layer with one or more of tin (Sn), silver (Ag) and OSP (organic solderability preservative).
The molding 150 is formed to cover the upper surface 110a of the package 110, the side surfaces 120c of the light-emitting diode 120, and the upper surface of the second reflective layer 129. When the molding 150 is formed to cover the upper surface 110a of the package 110, the side surfaces 120c of the light-emitting diode 120, and the upper surface of the second reflective layer 129, light will be emitted only from the sides of the light-emitting diode 120, so as to prevent the color coordinates from changing depending on the thickness of the molding (including a fluorescent material) on the upper and side surfaces of the light-emitting diode, thereby easily realizing white light.
Alternatively, the molding 150 may also be formed so as to cover only the upper surface 110a of the package substrate 110 and the side surfaces 120c of the light-emitting diode 120.
Herein, the molding 150 is formed to cover the upper surface 110a of the package substrate 110 and the side surfaces 120c of the light-emitting diode 120 in such a manner that the second reflective layer 129 is exposed out of the molding 150. In this case, the molding 150 can be designed to have a thickness corresponding to that of the light-emitting diode 120, and thus the side-emitting nitride semiconductor light-emitting device may have a thin thickness.
If the molding 150 includes a fluorescent material, white light can be realized. Alternatively, the molding 150 may be made of pure epoxy resin.
Specifically, the molding 150 may be a resin layer including one or more selected from among epoxy resin, silicone resin and polyimide resin. Alternatively, the molding 150 may be a wavelength conversion layer made of a mixture of a wavelength conversion material and one or more selected from among epoxy resin, silicone resin and polyimide resin. The wavelength conversion material may also be provided as a film, and in this case, the molding 150 may further include a wavelength conversion film attached to the resin layer and serving to convert light having a specific wavelength to light having other wavelength.
This molding 150 is preferably formed to have an area corresponding to that of the package substrate 110 such that the ends thereof are in line with the side surfaces of the package substrate 110. This molding 150 may be formed as thin as 50-2000 ㎛. This is because light is not emitted from the top, but is emitted from the sides, and thus it is possible to ensure the beam angle of the light even when the vertical thickness is reduced.
If the thickness of the molding 150 is less than 50 ㎛, it will be difficult to securely protect the light-emitting diode 120. On the other hand, if the thickness of the molding 150 is more than 2000 ㎛, an increase in the thickness will not lead to a further increase in the effect of the molding 150.
Meanwhile, FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of portion ″A″ shown in FIG. 3. Description will be made in further detail with reference to FIG. 4.
As shown in FIG. 4, the light-emitting diode 120 according to the present invention includes a light-emitting structure 122, a transparent conductive layer 123, a first reflective layer 124, a metal diffusion barrier layer 125, a first bonding pad 126, and a second bonding pad 127 and a second reflective layer 129. In addition, the light-emitting diode 120 may further include an insulating layer 128.
The light-emitting structure 122 has a first conductivity type nitride layer 122a, an active layer 122b and a second conductivity type nitride layer 122c, which are sequentially deposited over a substrate 121.
The first conductivity type nitride layer 122a is formed on the substrate 121. This first conductivity type nitride layer 122a may have a structure formed by alternately depositing a first layer (not shown), made of silicon (Si)-doped AlGaN, and a second layer (not shown) made of undoped-GaN. Of course, the first conductivity type nitride layer 122a may also consist of a single nitride layer. However, it is preferably formed to have a multilayer structure, because a structure formed by alternately depositing the first layer (including a buffer layer (not shown)) and the second layer can exhibit excellent crystallinity without cracking.
The substrate 121 may be formed of a material suitable for growing a nitride semiconductor single-crystal, and a representative example thereof may be a sapphire substrate. In addition to the sapphire substrate, the substrate 121 may also be formed of a material selected from among zinc oxide (ZnO), gallium nitride (GaN), silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), aluminum nitride (AlN), and the like. Although not shown in the drawings, the light-emitting diode 120 may further include a buffer layer interposed between the substrate 121 and the first conductivity type nitride layer 122a. Herein, the buffer layer is optionally provided on the upper surface of the substrate 121, and is formed in order to overcome the lattice mismatch between the substrate 121 and the first conductivity type nitride layer 122a. It may be made of a material selected from among AlN, GaN and the like.
The active layer 122b is formed on the first conductivity type nitride layer 122a. This active layer 122b is disposed between the first conductivity type nitride layer 122a and the second conductivity type nitride layer 122c, and may have a single quantum well structure or a multi-quantum well (MQW) structure formed by alternately depositing a quantum well layer and a quantum barrier layer several times. Specifically, the active layer 122b has a multi-quantum well structure including quantum barrier layers, composed of an Al-containing quaternary nitride layer of AlGaInN, and quantum well layers formed of InGaN. The active layer 122b having this multi-quantum well structure can suppress the spontaneous polarization caused by stress and deformation.
The second conductivity type nitride layer 122c may have, for example, a structure formed by alternately depositing a first layer (not shown), formed of p-type AlGaN doped with Mg as a p-type dopant, and a second layer (not shown) formed of p-type GaN doped with Mg. In addition, the second conductivity type nitride layer 122c may act as a carrier restriction layer, like the first conductivity type nitride layer 122a.
The transparent conductive layer 123 is formed on the light-emitting structure 122. This transparent conductive layer 123 is made of a transparent conductive material, and may include a metal. For example, it may be a combination of a nickel (Ni) layer and a gold (Au) layer. In addition, the transparent conductive layer 123 may include an oxide. For example, it may be a layer made of at least one selected from among ITO (indium tin oxide), IZO (indium zinc oxide), IZTO (indium zinc tin oxide), AZO (aluminum zinc oxide), IAZO (indium aluminum zinc oxide), GZO (gallium zinc oxide), IGO (indium gallium oxide), IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide), IGTO (indium gallium tin oxide), ATO (aluminum tin oxide), IWO (indium tungsten oxide), CIO (copper indium oxide), MIO (magnesium indium oxide), MgO, ZnO, In2O3, TiTaO2, TiNbO2, TiOx, RuOx, and IrOx, or it may be a combination of two or more of these oxide layers.
The reflective layer 124 is formed on the transparent conductive layer 123. The reflective layer 124 is made of a metal having high light reflectivity. Specifically, it may be made of at least one selected from among Ag, Al, Au, Ni, Pd, Pt, Ru, Rh, and alloys thereof, or it may be a combination of two or more of these metal layers. More specifically, the first reflective layer 124 may include a light reflective layer (not shown) and a metal oxidation preventing layer (not shown). Specifically, the first reflective layer 124 is preferably composed of a multi-layer metal layer formed by sequentially depositing a light reflective layer made of Ag and a metal oxidation preventing layer made of Ni. This first reflective layer 124 may preferably have a thickness of 0.1-10 ㎛, and more preferably 0.1-5 ㎛.
For the flip-type light-emitting diode 120, the reflective layer 124 is mainly made of highly reflective Ag. In the present invention, the transparent conductive layer 123 is interposed between the second conductivity type nitride layer 122c and the first reflective layer 124 in order to increase the adhesion between the first reflective layer 124 and the second conductivity type nitride layer 122c. When the transparent conductive layer 123 is interposed between the second conductivity type nitride layer 122c and the first reflective layer 124 as described above, the transparent conductive layer 123 can be securely attached to the second conductivity type nitride layer 122c, and thus can enhance the forward voltage (Vf) and optical power (PO) characteristics.
The metal diffusion barrier layer 125 is formed on the first reflective layer 124. This metal diffusion barrier layer 125 is preferably a multi-layer metal layer including at least one selected from among Cr, Ni, Pt, Ti, Au, Cu, W, and compounds thereof.
This metal diffusion barrier layer 125 functions to prevent the characteristics of the first reflective layer 124, particularly reflectivity and contact resistance, from being reduced due to the fusion and combination of materials at the interface between the first reflective layer 124 and the first and second bonding pads 126 and 127.
The first bonding pad 126 is formed on the first conductivity type nitride layer 122a, and the second bonding pad 127 is formed on the second conductivity type nitride layer 122c of the light-emitting structure 122. Herein, the first bonding pad 126 and the second bonding pad 127 can be formed by any one process selected from among E-beam evaporation, thermal evaporation, sputtering deposition, and the like. The first bonding pad 126 and the second bonding pad 127 may be formed from the same material using the same mask.
The insulating layer 128 functions to electrically insulate the first bonding pad 126 and the second bonding pad 127 from each other. The insulating layer 128 may be made of at least one selected from among compounds and mixtures, which contain Si, Mg, Ti, Al, Zn, C, In or Sn, or may be made of at least one selected from among oxides, fluorides, sulfides and nitrides of these elements. In addition, it may have a multilayer structure so that it can be used as any one of a DBR (Distributed Bragg Reflector) layer and an ODR (Omni Directional Reflector) layer. If it is used as the DBR layer, it is composed of a plurality of layers having different reflective indices. The DBR layer may be made of any one selected from among compounds, mixtures, oxides and nitrides, which contain Si, Ti, Ta, V, Cr, Mg, Al, Zn, In, Sn or C, or may be made of any one selected from among fluorides, sulfides and nitrides of these elements. Among them, any one of the above-described oxides, nitrides and fluorides is more preferably used. The thickness of the DBR layer is preferably 10-900Å, and the number of deposition cycles of the DBR layer is not limited, but is preferably 20 cycles (k=20) or less.
The second reflective layer 129 is formed on a surface of the substrate 121 opposite to the substrate surface on which the light-emitting structure 122 is formed. The second reflective layer 129 has an area equal to that of the light-emitting structure 122. This second reflective layer 129 preferably has a thickness of 0.1-10 ㎛, and more preferably 0.1-5 ㎛.
In the case of the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 100 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, light emitted from the light-emitting diode 120 is incident vertically on the second reflective layer 129 while it passes through the molding 150, and the incident layer is refracted by the second reflective layer 129 and emitted to the sides of the molding 150 and the package substrate 110.
Herein, light, scattered from the light-emitting diode 120 and incident toward the upper surface 120a of the light-emitting diode 120, is refracted by the first reflective layer 124, and then refracted again by the second reflective layer 129, and emitted to the sides of the molding 150 and the package substrate 110.
Meanwhile, FIG. 5 depicts photographs showing a state in which the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention is driven. Specifically, FIG. 5 depicts photographs showing a state in which a current of 60 mA (FIG. 5(a)), a current of 120 mA (FIG. 5(b)) and a current of 350 mA (FIG. 5(c)) are applied to the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention.
As can be seen in FIGS. 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c), in the case of the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention, light is emitted from the sides of the device due to the first and second reflective layers disposed on the both surfaces of the light-emitting diode, respectively, even though the brightness of the light differs depending on the intensity of the current.
If the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a direct-type LED TV, a plurality of the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting devices can be arranged in a matrix configuration on the cover bottom of the direct-type LED TV.
In this case, light emitted from the sides of each of the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting devices is diffused vertically, and thus the beam angle of the light can be increased to about 180˚. As a result, the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the present invention emits light from the sides, and thus the beam angle of the light can be increased to about 180˚ without needing to use a separate lens.
The side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting chip according to the embodiment of the present invention as described above is fabricated by mounting the flip-type light-emitting diode on the package substrate and connecting the light-emitting diode and the package substrate directly to the electrode terminals, and is designed to emit light from the sides. Thus, the beam angle of light can be increased to about 180˚.
Also, the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention does not require a lens, and thus has a light, thin, short and small configuration. Thus, when the light-emitting device is mounted in a direct-type LED TV, the TV can have reduced thickness, volume and weight. For this reason, distribution costs can be reduced, leading to a reduction in the expenses of manufacturers.
In addition, the side-emitting type nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the first and second reflective layers formed on both surfaces thereof, respectively, so that light will be emitted only from the sides of the chip or the device. Also, in the present invention, the molding is formed to cover either the upper surface of the package substrate and the side surfaces of the light-emitting diode, or the upper surface of the package substrate, the side surfaces of the light-emitting diode and the upper surface of the second reflective layer, and in this case, light will be emitted only from the sides of the light-emitting diode regardless of the thickness of the molding (including a fluorescent material) formed on the upper surface of the light-emitting diode, so as to prevent the color coordinates from changing according to the thickness of the molding (including a fluorescent material) on the top and sides of the light-emitting diode, thereby easily realizing white light.
While various embodiments have been described above, it will be understood to those skilled in the art that the embodiments described are by way of example only. Accordingly, the disclosure described herein should not be limited based on the described embodiments.
