Definitions
- the invention relates to optoelectronic components, but also generally to semiconductor components for optical displays.
- the invention relates to a support structure for LED
- the technology for generating the light follows the well-known processes as they are known from classic optoelectronic components, also called LEDs.
- LEDs classic optoelectronic components
- the sizes of these LED chips are significantly more variable and tailored to the respective application.
- the sizes are in the range from 1mm 2 to approx. 100pm 2 .
- Processes such as the transfer printing process are known. With a flat stamp, these simultaneously pick up a large number of LEDs from a wafer, move them to the support surface of the later display and assemble them there precisely to form a large overall arrangement.
- an elastomer stamp can be used, for example, to which the individual LEDs adhere through suitable surface structures and material properties without being mechanically or electrically damaged.
- These stamps use, for example, so-called PDMS elastomers from the group of silicones. Often these elastomer stamps have so-called pillow structures, which can allow targeted and better adhesion of the chips to be placed.
- Further methods of transfer printing are known in the prior art. In addition to the elastomer-based methods described, magnetic, electrostatic or mechanical methods based on rolling movements are known.
- the finished LEDs After production on the wafer, the finished LEDs must be designed in such a way that they can be picked up and moved away using a suitable method.
- the LEDs are usually removed from a substrate, for example by means of an etching process.
- complete detachment could possibly trigger a tilting, shifting or twisting, it may be desirable to enable a so-called mass transfer to be taken up to a carrier without excessive holding forces or damage.
- a carrier structure for receiving flat chips or LEDs.
- a carrier structure should be understood here to mean an arrangement which can accommodate a large number of such LEDs, for example with edge lengths in the range from 1 mm to approximately 100 ⁇ m or from 800 ⁇ m to 150 mm.
- the purpose here is in particular a mechanically stable fixation, for example relative to a grid or a matrix, with the best possible utilization of the available space.
- this carrier structure should be suitable for providing the plurality of chips for a transfer with the aid of a transfer tool.
- the carrier structure furthermore has at least two receiving elements which are connected to the carrier substrate.
- a receiving element is to be understood here as a mechanism or functional element that is suitable for spatially fixing an LED in interaction with other receiving elements through mechanical contact or to hold it in a defined spatial position.
- a receiving element can Diameters, for example, in the range of 10 ⁇ m or less, for example 2 pm or 1 pm. According to one example, a chip is attached to two receiving elements.
- the carrier structure comprises a planar carrier substrate.
- a carrier substrate can be, for example, a wafer, a film, a frame or the like from the field of semiconductor production.
- a wafer in addition to its function as a base plate or base material for the manufacturing process of the semiconductor, a wafer can also provide a support function or carrier function for preparing a subsequent mass transfer.
- flexible materials such as foils, are also suitable as a carrier substrate.
- a receiving element can be designed in the manner of a column, pillar or pole, starting from the carrier substrate.
- the corners or edges of the chip partially but not completely rest on the at least two receiving elements.
- the receiving elements are connected to the carrier substrate and designed to detachably hold a chip between the at least two receiving elements such that the LED can be moved out perpendicular to the carrier structure plane with a defined minimum force.
- an edge length of the LED is at least a factor of 10, in particular at least a factor of 20, greater than an edge length of the receiving element.
- the edge length is larger by a factor that is particularly in the range between 40 and 80 "Detachable" should be understood to mean that there is no permanent, for example cohesive connection such as fusing, gluing or the like between the chip and the receiving element, but a non-destructive, detachable connection.
- the attachment can be on a physical connection, such as an adhesive connection Van-De-Waals forces or electron bridges. This can be given by different materials and a suitable selection of the same between the LED and the receiving elements. This is intended in particular to avoid breaking or similar processes in which material structures are destroyed The corresponding fragments, particles or splinters would be involved. Instead, alternative adhesion mechanisms such as the exploitation of mechanical friction or delamination are used. In particular, known limited or limited adhesion properties of materials or materials are used Oil combinations exploited. According to one example, the LED rests between two or more receiving elements.
- adhesive forces or other adhesive forces result at the contact surfaces, which allow mechanical fixation of the LED in space. If a defined minimum force acts on the LED, for example through an attached transfer tool, release forces are consequently effective on the contact surfaces between the LED's and the receiving elements. This defined minimum force can be influenced by a suitable selection of materials or material combinations on these contact surfaces.
- the contact surfaces or overlaps can, for example, have dimensions in the range from 0.05 pm 2 to 10 pm 2 , in particular in the range from 1 pm 2 to 8 pm 2 . It is desirable here that, on the one hand, the LED is securely held on the carrier structure. On the other hand, for an effective and fast mass transfer of the LED, it is essential that the LEDs are lifted upwards and removed with as little force as possible can be. For this purpose, provision can be made for the ratio between the contact area of each element and chip and the total chip area to be smaller than 1/20, in particular smaller than 1/40 and in particular in the range from 1/80 to 1/50 smaller than the chip area.
- an edge length of the LED is at least a factor of 10, in particular at least a factor of 20, greater than an edge length of the receiving element.
- the available area of the receiving element can be larger, but the LED is only on part of this area.
- the contact surface of the chip is thus at least 20 times, in particular at least 40 times smaller than the entire chip surface.
- a suitable compromise must be found here, for example through the appropriate selection of materials or material combinations as well as the dimensioning and placement of the contact surfaces.
- the defined minimum force can also be influenced by designing the size and shape of these contact surfaces. Large contact areas consequently lead to a higher minimum force required to detach the LED from the carrier structure.
- magnetic, electrical or similar holding forces are also conceivable.
- the carrier structure it is also possible for the carrier structure to have only a single receiving element with which an LED is held. Due to the low weight of the semiconductor structures, it can be conceivable that a sufficient hold in combination with a suitably high minimum force for detaching the LED can be achieved through a contact surface between the single receiving element and the LED that is suitable in terms of shape and size.
- a substrate for producing the LEDs can also serve as a carrier structure.
- a sacrificial layer can be provided. While During the manufacturing process, the LED is connected to the growth substrate. To expose the finished LED, this intermediate sacrificial layer is removed, for example, by gas- or plasma-based etching, so that a gap is created between the LED and the wafer.
- a thickness of the sacrificial layer is, for example, 100 nm (nanometers) to 500 nm. The idea here is that when the sacrificial layer is removed, the receiving elements take on a holding function for the LED on the carrier structure. In one embodiment, the receiving elements can have the shape of an anchor.
- the LED is generally pulled off in a direction away from the carrier substrate, with a force vector which is at least partially perpendicular to a carrier substrate plane, which is to be understood in the x-y direction.
- the receiving elements remain on the carrier substrate and in particular do not break. As a result, no residues of the receiving element remain on the LED, which could cause problems during subsequent processing.
- the force vector is substantially perpendicular to the surface.
- the adhesive force with which the LED is held on a stamp, at the point in time shortly before it is lifted off until at least shortly thereafter, is greater than the holding force which holds the LED on the receiving element.
- At least one receiving element is designed to simultaneously hold and / or support at least one further, adjacently arranged LED.
- the receiving element is designed to support two, three or four LEDs arranged adjacent to one another.
- adjacent means that the sides of the LEDs are essentially parallel to one another.
- a distance can be provided between two neighboring LEDs so that they do not influence one another when they are lifted off.
- the distance between two adjacent LEDs can also be from one to the other LED's may be dependent on the parallel component of the force vector during lifting.
- the distance between two LEDs is 5% of the edge length, or is in the range of 1% to 10% of the edge length of the LEDs.
- Holding structures for LEDs often require space, which ideally should be minimized in order to achieve a higher yield on a wafer.
- the LEDs are in turn arranged next to one another in a regular structure on a wafer.
- the He finder now propose to position a receiving element between two be adjacently arranged LEDs so that this one receiving element supports or receives several adjacent LEDs. It can be seen as an advantage here that mathematically less than one entire holding structure can be achieved per component. This can reduce a total number of the receiving elements, thus saving space and hence saving costs. In addition, the overall yield of the chips remains essentially constant, since no additional space is required for the holding structure on the wafer, which is at the expense of the number of LEDs.
- a receiving element can have contact surfaces arranged opposite one another, which are then each in mechanical contact with the LED adjoining in this direction.
- the receiving elements can then be distributed and arranged over an area of the carrier substrate in such a way that a minimal number of receiving elements is used for a secure hold of the LEDs.
- This can be advantageous, for example, for an effective use of a transfer tool in order to enable the LEDs to be picked up effectively and quickly.
- the receiving elements are arranged on the carrier substrate in such a way that an LED is held by exactly three receiving elements.
- the choice of three receiving elements can be an advantageous compromise insofar as that Here a good spatial stabilization in combination with an advantageous distribution of the holding forces can be achieved.
- a receiving element can act on the chip in various lateral areas in the X-direction and Y-direction, for example in the middle, off-center or on an edge or corner.
- a plurality of receiving elements can also be arranged on one and the same side of an LED.
- a delamination layer is provided on the LED or on the receiving element for moving the LEDs out of the carrier structure.
- delamination is intended to describe a detachment process that occurs when two surfaces come into contact or, more generally, when two layers join. This can relate to materials of the same type, but also material compounds or different material surfaces.
- the deliberate creation of a so-called delamination layer is intended to prevent breakage processes or processes that destroy or change the structure and instead cause the layers or surfaces to detach from one another in a non-destructive manner.
- Certain combinations of materials can be used, for example a combination of Si0 2 and Al2O3, but also the use of non-oxidizing metals such as silver, gold or similar materials in combination with a dielectric such as Si0 2 .
- the surface of the receiving element is thus surrounded by the delamination layer, so that the delamination layer is formed between the LED and the receiving element.
- the delamination layer can be only a few nm thick, for example in the range from 5 nm to 50 nm.
- the delamination layer can also be designed as an etch stop layer or also optionally extend over further parts of the carrier structure.
- the receiving elements are arranged in a mesa trench of a semiconductor wafer.
- a mesa trench of a semiconductor wafer is an optimal use of space on a wafer to increase the yield is generally desirable.
- Support structures for LEDs often require additional space.
- three-dimensional structures are created through various process steps, in which at the end, for example, an LED is formed as an elevation or mesa. So-called mesa trenches are formed between these individual LEDs.
- mesa trench is intended to describe a comparatively steep, flank-like expression on the sides of an LED, the trench, i.e. the area without epitaxy references the deep structure in between.
- the mesa trench can have a slope in the range of 30 ° to 75 °, in particular 45 °.
- the idea here is now to arrange the receiving element precisely in this spatial area which is available anyway, without taking up additional space on the wafer. This enables better utilization of the space available on the wafer to be achieved.
- the support structure and the receiving elements are made in one piece.
- the carrier substrate can again be a wafer, for example, but also a PCB board, film, frame or similar structure.
- the receiving elements themselves consist of a different material and / or structure than the carrier substrate.
- This can be implemented in a manufacturing process, for example, in that the originally present wafer structures are preserved in a locally limited manner via the various process steps and, for example, are not removed by etching processes. These structures then serve as receiving elements and holding structure for the finished LEDs.
- the receiving elements are designed to hold an LED to the side and from an underside of the LED.
- it makes sense to create a partial contact surface or contact surface that offers a mechanical stop in the Z direction, that is, in the direction of the carrier substrate.
- a spatial fixation in the lateral direction that is to say in the X-direction and Y-direction, can take place by additionally providing a lateral hold.
- stable spatial fixation can be achieved in the direction of the carrier substrate and in the lateral direction; on the other hand, the LEDs can be easily lifted away from the carrier substrate in the Z direction by a transfer process or a transfer tool.
- the receiving elements have LED holding surfaces that lead away obliquely relative to the carrier substrate plane, so that when the LEDs are moved away from the receiving elements, a holding force on the LED is reduced.
- the holding surfaces move away from the LED the further the LED is moved in the direction away from the carrier substrate.
- a holding force is successively reduced when the LED is lifted away from the carrier structure, for example by a transfer tool. Above all, this should advantageously bring about a reduction in the force required to pull off the LED, in particular to reduce the running times of the process steps and to increase the quality of a transfer process.

- FIG. 5 shows a further layout of a carrier structure which is prepared and suitable for the proposed transfer process
- FIG. 6A shows a further exemplary embodiment of a carrier structure
- FIG. 6B shows an alternative to the previous exemplary embodiment
- the background to the method is the transport of LEDs on a wafer onto a support surface of a display. This is where the individual LEDs are fixed and fastened as well as an electrical connection.
- the dimensions of the individual LEDs are in the range of only a few [pm] n, on the other hand, a large number of these LEDs must be transmitted locally at the same time. In this case, several thousand structures of this type often have to be transferred from a large number of wafers to a common carrier surface.
- a wafer 12 is initially provided on which epitaxial layers have been produced by various semiconductor manufacturing processes, from which the individual LEDs 16 are then produced.
- the LEDs can emit different colors and wavelengths during operation. This is indicated here by the different shading conditions.
- the LEDs have a flat design, at least on their underside and / or upper side, in order, for example, to enable simple attachment and transport.
- the LEDs 16 can be mechanically separated from the wafer 12. This is done by removing a so-called sacrificial layer, possibly supplemented by one or more release layers.
- FIG. 1B shows how an elastomer stamp 18 is moved vertically from above onto the wafer 12 and adheres to a surface of the LEDs 16 through a suitable surface structure of the elastomer stamp 18.
- a maximum tensile force can for example be proportional to a size of the surface of the LED 16 be.
- the adhesion can be produced, for example, by means of silicone materials, especially so-called PDMS elastomers. Due to the separation of the LEDs 16 from the wafer 12, the multitude of LEDs can be lifted together from the wafer 12, whereby these adhere to the elastomer stamp 18.
- This elastomer stamp 18 is now moved in a transfer movement away from the wafer 12 towards a support surface 14 of a display mounted next to it, for example. This can be done, for example, with the aid of a transfer tool, with the elastomer stamp 18 being regarded as part of such a tool.
- the elastomer stamp 18 is now initially above the support surface 14 and is lowered onto a surface of the support surface 14 in a lowering movement.
- the LEDs 16 come into mechanical contact with the carrier surface 14 with their underside.
- the LEDs 16 are detached from the elastomer stamp 18.
- the elastomer stamp 18 is then moved upwards in order to for example to start a new transfer cycle.
- the LEDs 16 can be permanently attached to the carrier surface 14, for example by means of an adhesive process.
- the steps shown in FIG. 1A to ID show that due to the high number of LEDs 16, reliable and precise placement in the shortest possible time is desirable.
- the LEDs 16 are received by the stamp 18, it may be desirable on the one hand to keep the forces low and on the other hand to achieve reliable positioning and holding of the LEDs 16 on the wafer 12.
- avoiding fluctuations in the adhesive force or excessive adhesive forces on the wafer and / or on the stamp can bring about significant improvements here.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show a further embodiment of a carrier structure 10 according to some proposed principles for avoiding break edges and improving the lifting.
- a carrier structure 10 according to some proposed principles for avoiding break edges and improving the lifting.
- the wafer shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B comprises the wafer structure shown below, FIG. 2 being a simplified top view of a wafer from an upper side
- 5 12 refers. You can see three LEDs 16, which in this game are each designed to be flat and rectangular and are arranged next to each other, other forms of chips in this regard are also possible, for example hexagonal. On a wafer 12, for example, 16 inches or 18 inches can be used
- these LEDs 16 are arranged on the wafer 12 in a mechanically detachable manner. This means that they can be pulled off by a stamping tool 18. Im shown here
- the LEDs 16 are partially detached from the wafer 12 on their underside (not visible) and are now held by receiving elements 20.
- the receiving elements which appear round here from the top view, can, for example, be columnar or pole-like with, for example, round, angular or
- FIGS. 3A to 3D a vertical sectional view (see line 24 in FIG. 2) is shown for various options for designing a carrier structure 10.
- a wafer 12 or in general a carrier material or bonding material serves as the basis for mechanical stabilization and to accommodate other components such as electrical connections, electronic controls and the like.
- a first release layer 26 is arranged vertically above it.
- the release layer 26 serves to enable a controlled delamination, that is to say a deliberate and controlled detachment of the layers from one another by means of a defined tensile force.
- a layer can serve as an etch stop layer in order to leave adjoining layers unchanged during an etching process. This can, for example, replace a breaking process, as has been used up to now in the prior art, by a detachment in which no disruptive residues remain on the LED.
- the background is that, for example, silicon is used as the material for such layers that can then be removed in one process step by chemical methods in order, for example, to separate the LED 16 from the wafer 12 below.
- the LED 16 furthermore has a contact pad 30, which here, for example, can have a semiconductive area, such as a p-n junction, for example.
- the cross section of an LED 16, which has an epitaxial layer 32, is shown by way of example in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B.
- This epitaxial layer 32 can additionally be supplemented by a further second release layer 34, which is formed between the sacrificial layer 28 and the epitaxial layer 32.
- This second release layer 34 can be arranged at different points depending on the execution variant.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B each show an embodiment variant where a receiving element 20 as a pole-like, column-like or post-like elevation protrudes from the wafer 12 in one piece, vertically between two LEDs 16 through the sacrificial layer 28 and ends in front of the epitaxial layer 32.
- the epitaxial layer 32 tapers up here closely and thereby forms a V-shaped mesa trench 38 (see also FIGS. 3C and 3D as an alternative).
- the second release layer 34 extends as far as a side surface or partially underside of the contact pad 30, it ends In FIG. 3B, the second release layer 34 in the horizontal direction in front of the contact pad 30, the sacrificial layer 28 filling the remaining gap.
- a gaseous or liquid etching substance for example, can then reach the sacrificial layer 28 via the mesa trench 38, that is to say the intermediate space between two LEDs 16.
- the delamination layer on the exposed surface of the receiving element has also been removed by the etching process.
- the removal of the delamination layer can be selectively adjusted by controlling the etching process.
- the delamination layer can have a significantly lower etching speed than for the sacrificial layer 28.
- the etching process is also used to etch through the delamination layer and into the receiving element. In other words, the funnel-shaped recess between the two LEDs is continued in the receiving element.
- the depth of such an etching in the receiving element can also be set by the process. In general, however, the entire receiving element is not etched through. Rather, the receiving element is only etched up to half its height or less, so that sufficient stability of the receiving elements is ensured. In particular, it is ensured that the remaining columns do not break when the LEDs are removed, but rather that the LED is lifted off by overcoming the adhesive force of the delamination layer.
- FIGS. 3C and 3D a further embodiment variant, in particular with regard to the embodiment of the receiving element 20, is shown.
- the receiving element 20 protrudes from the Level of the wafer 12 starting in one piece through the sacrificial layer 28 to an opposite side of the support structure 10.
- the receiving element 20 is tapered at its upper end or is designed with inclined LED holding surfaces 36, which makes it easier to lift off the LEDs 16 while at the same time making it more secure Seat on the wafer 12 can allow.
- the receiving element 20 ends before the end of the epitaxial layer 32 in the vertical direction.
- the contact pad 30 connects the layers inside the LED and in particular the light-emitting layer.
- the contact pad 30 is in each case the vertically furthest element and can therefore be in direct mechanical and thus electrical contact with an electrical contact element (not shown) on a support surface of the display or the module, possibly without additional bridging solder or conductive adhesive.
- a contact pad 30 can have edge lengths in the range from 20 to 100 ⁇ m, for example.
- FIG. 3E shows an embodiment in which the receiving element is significantly widened and the delamination layer extends completely over the surface of the receiving element.
- sacrificial layer 28 extends through the funnel-shaped area between the individual LEDs with its epitaxy 32.
- Each LED comprises an epitaxy whose lateral dimensions are greater on the light exit side than on the side facing the contact pad 32. In other words, the LEDs widen starting from the side with the contact pad 32.
- FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 an example of a carrier structure 10 is shown with, for example, 24 LEDs 16 which are arranged in a matrix on a wafer (not shown).
- a total of 17 receiving elements 20 are shown in FIG. These are partly arranged in a mesa trench 38 between each two neighboring LEDs 16, partly also at corners of the respective LEDs 16. This arrangement can mean that a total of fewer receiving elements 20 than a total number of LEDs 16 are necessary.
- a receiving element 20 can support or receive up to four adjacent LEDs 16.
- the base area of the receiving elements 20 is not round as in FIG. 156, but rather have a rectangular or square base area. This means that the contact surfaces 36 with which the receiving element rests on the LED 16 changes. This can ensure stable accommodation of the LED 16, even if the LED 16 shifts slightly in its position in the x-direction or y-direction. In other words, a total contact area from all the contact areas 36 on the LED 16 remains the same or at least approximately the same even with smaller displacements in the lateral direction.
- the receiving elements 20 can also be arranged on the outer edge of a support structure 12 and attack an outer side surface of an LED 16. As an example, it can be seen here that exactly three support points for the same LED can offer particularly stable spatial stabilization.
- a receiving element 20 can support two or more adjoining LEDs 16 and thus reduce space requirements and thus costs through multiple use.
- the support surface is shown greatly enlarged compared to the chip surface.
- the contact surface is significantly smaller, so that the adhesive force is reduced, so that the delamination layer adheres to the carrier and does not tear off.
- FIG. 6A shows an embodiment in which several LEDs 16 were produced monolithically on a carrier substrate.
- Each LED is in the shape of a hexagon, i.e. 6 side faces, each facing a side face of an adjacent LED.
- the corners of the individual LEDs each rest on a receiving element 20.
- the edges are structured, i.e. trenches have been etched so that the LEDs are only held by the receiving elements.
- Each LED comprises a centrally arranged and round active area 2a.
- the area can be selected in different sizes. In this example, however, it is surrounded by a region 2b, the diameter of which essentially corresponds to the distance between two opposite side surfaces of an LED. In other words, the area extends to the side flank of each hexagonal structure of the LEDs, but the corners of each LED just do not include area 2b.
- FIG. 6B shows a further embodiment which was generated by an improved mask structuring.
- the background to this embodiment is to reduce the number of photomasks and transfer steps required.
- a photo mask was chosen which leads to smaller bulges at the corners. This creates this slightly different structure.
- the LEDs are manufactured using various semiconductor technologies.
- the wafer onto which the transfer is made can have contact areas so that electrical contact is possible. Control, power sources and other elements can also already be present in this wafer.
- the LEDS transferred in this way are then processed further in a few versions. For example, a converter layer or a light-shaping element is applied to the LED. In principle, individual LEDs were transferred in these versions. However, the method is not limited to these.
- the above modules can be formed with these carrier structures in order to enable easier transfer of such modules.
- the columns or the support elements are shaped according to the size of the modules.
