本发明的实施方式
[0024] [0022]下面结合附图和实施例对本发明的具体实施方式进行详细说明。
[0025] 实施例
[0026] 参看附图 1, 一种发光二极管结构包括衬底 10, 沉积于衬底 10上的缓冲层 20、 N 型层 30、 量子阱层 40及 P型层 50, 其中缓冲层 20由成核层 21、 非惨杂或惨杂第一 氮化镓层 22、 氮化铝层 23、 非惨杂或惨杂第二氮化镓层 24组成; 所述氮化铝层 2 3表面为图案化结构, 形成图案化氮化铝层 23 ' , 利用此图案化氮化铝层 23 ' 可 有效释放后续沉积的 N型层 30、 量子阱层 40和 P型层 50组成的外延层的应力, 减 小该应力导致的晶片翘曲, 改善晶片边缘的芯粒电性能, 提升芯粒良率; 同吋 该图案化氮化铝层 23 ' 还可阻挡前述沉积的缓冲层 20与衬底 10之间因晶格失配 导致的晶体缺陷的延伸, 进而改善后续半导体层的晶格质量, 提高发光效率。
[0027] 而本实施例制备上述发光二极管结构的方法采用如下步骤:
[0028] 步骤 1.提供一衬底 10; 所述衬底 10为蓝宝石、 硅、 碳化硅等图案化衬底或平片 衬底, 此处优选蓝宝石图案化衬底;
[0029] 步骤 2.在所述衬底 10表面利用二次成长法沉积缓冲层 20;
[0030] 步骤 3.在所述缓冲层 20表面依次沉积 N型层 30、 量子阱层 40和 P型层 50形成发 光二极管结构;
[0031] 其中, (参看附图 2) , 所述步骤 2中在衬底 10表面利用二次成长法沉积缓冲层 20具体为:
[0032] 步骤 2.1.将所述衬底 10置入 MOCVD机台腔室, 利用 MOCVD法在所述衬底 10表 面沉积厚度为 50〜300埃米的成核层 21;
[0033] 步骤 2.2.在所述成核层 21表面继续利用 MOCVD法沉积厚度为 0.5~5微米的非惨 杂或惨杂第一氮化镓层 22;
[0034] 步骤 2.3.将步骤 2.2结束后的晶片取出并置入 PVD腔室, 利用 PVD法在所述非惨 杂或惨杂第一氮化镓层 22表面沉积厚度为 1〜10000埃的氮化铝层 23;
[0035] 步骤 2.4. (参看附图 3) , 将步骤 2.3结束后的晶片取出, 先利用微影黄光技术, 即先平铺一光阻层 A, 利用光罩板 B及曝光光源 C形成所需图案, 再使用蚀刻技 术在氮化铝层 23表面蚀刻制备出预设图案, 形成图案化氮化铝层 23 ' , 所述图 案化氮化铝层 23 ' 表面相邻图案底部间距为 0~1000微米, 图案为圆形、 方形、 多边形或不规则形; 此蚀刻方法既可以为成本较高的干法蚀刻, 也可以为简单 的湿法蚀刻, 或其二者组合使用; 当使用湿法蚀刻吋, 例如将 A1N浸泡在 NaOH 溶液中, 在 30~60°C下即可达到 lnm/min的蚀刻速率, 有效提升了生产速率。 [0036] 步骤 2.5.再将步骤 2.4结束后的晶片取出并置入 MOCVD腔室, 利用 MOCVD法 在所述图案化氮化铝层 23 ' 表面沉积厚度为 0.5~5微米的非惨杂第二氮化镓层 24
[0037] 本实例中, 先用 MOCVD法于缓冲层 21表面沉积非惨杂或惨杂第一氮化镓层 22
, 因该非惨杂或惨杂第一氮化镓层 22表面平整, 晶格质量较优, 所以易于后续 P VD法沉积氮化铝层; 同吋, 当该非惨杂或惨杂第一氮化镓层 22沉积于图形化衬 底表面吋, 则因晶体选择性生长特性使得仅在 C面生长有较优质量的氮化镓材料 层, 当该层完全覆盖于衬底图形形成平整的上表面, 避免后一步骤中沉积的氮 化铝层附着于图形侧壁而影响后续氮化镓外延层的生长。 而此非惨杂或惨杂第 一氮化镓层 22可对因衬底与后续外延层晶格不匹配产生的应力及缺陷进行首次 缓冲和阻挡, 从而改善后续沉积层的晶体质量。
[0038] 随后, 在该非惨杂第一氮化镓层 22上采用具有等向性沉积特性的 PVD法制备氮 化铝层 23, 并对其进行图案化处理获得表面具有图案的图案化氮化铝层 23 ' , 表面图案为非连续结构或仅底部连续的结构。 因为 PVD法沉积层具有的多晶格 特性, 且进行图案化后, 前述的图案化氮化铝层 23 ' 可较好的再次缓冲和阻挡 因衬底与外延层晶格不匹配产生的应力及缺陷, 极大地改善后续沉积层的晶体 质量, 而且利用图形对光线反射与折射角度的调节, 进一步提高发光效率。
[0039] 最后, 在此图案化氮化铝层 23 ' 表面利用 MOCVD法沉积非惨杂或惨杂第二氮 化镓层 24。 由于镓原子较铝原子体积偏大且表面迁移能力强, 具有修复晶格缺 陷的作用, 从而可以进一步有效地终止通过氮化铝层延伸而至的缺陷 (参看附 图 4) ; 另外因氮化铝材料与氮化镓材料的特性差异, 故层与层之间的接触位置 也可部分地调节或缓冲衬底与后续沉积的外延层之间的应力问题。 因此, 本发 明藉由缓冲层 20的结构及其制备方法可有效改善晶片翘曲现象, 进而减小晶片 边缘的电性能异常比例, 增加产品良率。
[0040] 应当理解的是, 上述具体实施方案为本发明的优选实施例, 本发明的范围不限 于该实施例, 凡依本发明所做的任何变更, 皆属本发明的保护范围之内。
