随着集成电路生产技术的不断进步,电路芯片的集成度得到大幅提升。目前,在一片芯片中所集成的晶体管数量已经达到了惊人的几千万个,数量如此庞大的有源元件的信号集成需要多达十层以上的高密度金属互联层进行连接。因此,作为制备上述金属互联层的重要工艺,气相沉积技术得到了广泛应用。
传统的半导体设备在生产中仅提供单盘传输,在量产中影响整体的生产时间。在目前的工艺流程中,预热腔对衬底预热后将衬底传输至清洗腔通入气体进行等离子清洗,传输过程中会导致热辐射的流失。且清洗腔与传输腔之间无门阀遮挡,在进行等离子清洗时无法传盘。另外,清洗腔无法同时完成等离子清洗和托盘冷却,在量产中沉积腔成为一个卡顿节点,影响加工效率。

请参阅图1,本实施例提出一种半导体设备100,例如可以为化学气相沉积设备,也可以为物理气相沉积设备,当然也可以是物理气相沉积设备、化学气相沉积设备或其他半导体设备的组合。
如图1所示,在本申请一实施例中,半导体设备100内设置多个腔室,在本申请一实施例中,半导体设备100例如可以包括传送腔110,预热腔140,清洗腔130,过渡腔120及多个生长腔150。在半导体器件制造过程中,可先对基板进行衬底预热以及等离子清洗,将清洗完成后的衬底转移至生长腔150,在生长腔150中进行薄膜生长,之后进行冷却处理。
如图1所示,在本实施例中,传送腔110包括基板装卸机械手臂111,可操作基板装卸机械手臂111,以于各腔室之间传送基板。还可以根据不同腔体的空间尺寸大小调整基板装卸机械手臂111的大小。更具体地,基板装卸机械手臂111可具有适以同时将两基板从一个腔室传送至另一个腔室的双基板装卸叶片。基板可经由狭缝阀112在传送腔110与其它腔室之间传送。基板装卸机械手臂111的移动可由马达驱动系统(未示出)控制,而马达驱动系统可包括伺服电动机或步进电动机。
如图1,在一些实施例中,该半导体设备还包括一制造界面113,在制造界面113内包括卡匣及基板装卸机械手臂(未示出),卡匣含有需要进行处理的基板,基板装卸机械手臂可包含基板规划系统,以将卡匣内的基板装载至过渡腔120内,具体地,将基板放置在载台的托盘上。
如图1,在本实施例中,预热腔140连接传送腔110,预热腔140位于传送腔110的侧壁上,当基板进入过渡腔120时,传送腔110内的基板装卸机械手臂111随后将基板从过渡腔120传送至预热腔140中以进行预热并进行等离子体清洁。
如图1,在本实施例中,在该传送腔110的侧壁上设置多个生长腔150,当基板完成相应的工艺后,传送腔110内的基板装卸机械手臂111将基板传送至生长腔150内进行作业,由于在生长腔150内形成均匀的磁场,由此可在基板的表面形成均匀的溅射离子,从而在基板上形成均匀的薄膜。
如图2,在本实施例中,该过渡腔120连接传送腔110,其中该过渡腔120位于制造界面113与传送腔110之间。过渡腔120在制造界面113与传送腔110之间提供真空界面。
如图1和图2,在一些实施例中,过渡腔120可实现基板的传递、预热以及清洗的过程。该过渡腔120包括一壳体120a,该壳体120a例如为密封的圆柱体,同时在该壳体120a的侧壁上设有抽气口及排气口。过渡腔120设置多条气路通道例如进气口128。在过渡腔120内加装多条气路例如进气口128以及电源实现烘烤预热和等离子清洗过程,使用单独泵进行气体抽充,使整个工艺流程更加顺畅以节省整体耗时。
如图2,在一些实施例中,该过渡腔120内设有一载台122,载台122通过升降基座电机121固定在壳体120a的底部。载台122上可以设置托盘123,托盘123上可以设置多层开口式传送盒124以起到同时传盘的作用。在本实施例中,该载台122可例如为圆柱形或矩形或其他形状,该载台122可例如通过升降基座电机121固定在壳体120a内。在壳体120a的内部可以设置激光传感器125。过渡腔120允许多盘同时进入,只需在开始时抽真空一次,结束时充大气一次,节省中间传盘频繁的充抽时间,减少了传输节点的充抽耗时。
如图1和图2,在一些实施例中,该过渡腔120还包括一抽气口,该抽气口连接真空泵127,通过该真空泵127对过渡腔120进行抽真空。在过渡腔120中新增多路N2气路以通入气体,使腔室未传盘时可提供气冷以代替冷却腔。本实施例通过多个步骤实现抽真空处理,例如先使用干泵(Dry Pump)将该过渡腔120真空度由大气压抽至例如5.00E-04Pa的时间不超过2.5min。将原有预热腔140中的气路和电源移装到过渡腔120中,使用单独泵进行气体的充抽作业。既可以实现对衬底的预热,同时可以进行等离子清洗。未做传盘动作时通入气体带走其中的热量以达到冷却托盘的作用。在本实施例中,该过渡腔120连接至传送腔110,传送腔110内的基板装卸机械手臂111将基板从过渡腔120内传送至传送腔110,然后在由基板装卸机械手臂111将该基板传输至其他腔体,例如预热腔,沉积腔或生长腔150,在生长腔150内,可在基板的表面上形成薄膜,该薄膜的材料可包括三氧化二铝,氧化铪,氧化钛,氮化钛,氮化铝,氮化铝镓或氮化镓中的一种或多种。当该基板完成镀膜工作后,在该壳体120a的一侧上还包括一排气口,该排气口连接一气源126,当对过渡腔120进行破真空处理,通过气源126通过排气口向过渡腔120内通入氮气或氩气,对该过渡腔120进行破真空处理,从而避免基板在冷却的同时,由于氮气的通入使得基板上产生裂纹。当该过渡腔120完成破真空后,可将该基板取出,进行保存分析。
如图2,在本实施例中,需要注意的是,在将基板放入过渡腔120或其他腔体时,首先通过排气口向腔体通入氮气或氩气,使得该腔体达到大气压力平衡,或者该腔体内的压力大于大气压力,避免由于负压差导致污染物进入到该腔体内。
请再参阅图1和图2,在本申请另一实施例中,过渡腔120仅实现基板的传递功能,在清洗腔130内实现基板的等离子清洗以及冷却。在本实施例中,清洗腔130连接传送腔110,清洗腔130位于传送腔110的侧壁上,当基板进入过渡腔120时,传送腔110内的基板装卸机械手臂111随后将基板从过渡腔120传送至清洗腔130中以进行清洗,在基板上生长薄膜后,将基板传递至清洗腔130冷却。

如图3,在本实施例中,该基板支撑组件131连接有升降旋转机构134,具体地,该升降旋转机构134连接在台座电极1311上,通过该升降旋转机构134可实现基板支撑组件131的升降或旋转,间接实现基板的升降或旋转。当基板支撑组件131旋转上升或下降时,基板与电极132的距离发生变化,以调整台座电极1311与电极132之间的电场强度,使得等离子体能够更好的清洗基板。
如图3,在本实施例中,该清洗腔130内还包括一电极132,该电极132相对设置在基板支撑组件131的上方,该电极132未接触清洗腔130的顶部,在一些实施例中,电极132与基板支撑组件131的距离可在2-25cm。该电极132同时还连接一升降旋转机构133,该升降旋转机构133的与升降旋转机构134的结构一致。当电极132进行旋转上升或下降时,电极132与基板之间的距离发生变化,以调节电极132与基板之间的电场强度,使得等离子体能够均匀的清洗基板。当电极132与基板支撑组件131同时发生旋转时,电极132的旋转速度与基板支撑组件131的旋转速度可相同或存在一定的速度差,以使得等离子体均匀的清洗基板。
如图3,在本实施例中,该基板支撑组件131还连接至少一个射频偏压电源138,具体地,该射频偏压电源138连接台座电极1311上。该射频偏压电源138的射频频率可以是高频、中频或低频。其中,可利用高频射频可以进行硅刻蚀,利用中频或者低频射频可以进行电介质的刻蚀,因此,可以在台座电极1311上同时连接不同频率的射频偏压电源138以实现同时刻蚀硅和电介质。在本实施例中,该电极132还连接至少一射频电源137,该射频电源137的射频频率例如为10~15MHZ。该射频电源137和射频偏压电源138均由同步脉冲来驱动,能够同时开关,降低清洗腔130内的电子温度,并且同步脉冲对于基板密集区域的清洗(刻蚀深度)具有良好的控制。
如图3,在本实施例中,该清洗腔130还包括进气口,该进气口靠近电极132,该进气口连接气体源135,通过气体源135向清洗腔130内输送气体,该气体为用于清洗应用的前驱物气体。当启动射频电源 137和/或射频偏压电源138时,以在基板表面附件产生等离子体。所产生的等离子体一般含有由气体混合物形成的自由基和离子。在一些情况下,等离子体用来修改基板的表面结构,以确保在基板与沉积的外延薄膜层(例如含AlN的缓冲层)之间有更好的晶体对准。可调节等离子体密度、偏压和处理时间以高效地处理基板表面,但不损害基板表面。在本实施例中,该清洗腔130还包括抽气口,该抽气口靠近基板支撑组件131,该抽气口连接一真空泵136,该真空泵136用于抽取清洗腔130内的气体。
如图3,在本实施例中,清洗腔130不仅需要实现清洗的功能,且在生长腔150内形成薄膜后,需要再将基板转移至清洗腔130内进行冷却,为保证冷却效果。可在清洗腔130的侧壁内加装水循环装置,以加速基板上薄膜的冷却。为保证冷却效果,可将清洗腔130侧壁内的水循环装置可例如图6所示的波浪状设置的循环水冷装置1508,以增加水循环装置的冷却效果。
如图1、图3和图4所示,在本申请又一实施例中,在进行半导体制备时,需要在基板上生长薄膜前需要将基板放在预热腔140内进行预加热,预热后的基板传输至清洗腔130清洁,将清洁后的基板传输至生长腔150生长薄膜,在薄膜生长完成后,再传送至清洗腔130中冷却。在形成薄膜的过程中,因在预热腔140内预热基板与清洗腔130内清洁的过程中,易导致热辐射流失,在本实施例中,在预热腔140内加装清洗结构,可在对基板进行预热时,同时对基板进行等离子清洗。
如图4所示,在本申请又一实施例中,该预热腔140包括壳体140a,在该壳体140a的底部设有支架141,该支架141可例如为空心结构,然后将导线放置在支架141的内部结构中,将导线连接在加热器142上。在本实施例中,该支架141可例如为耐高温材料。

请参阅图5至图7,在本实施例中,靶材153设置在生长腔壳体151的顶部,靶材153与溅射电源(未显示)电连接,在磁控溅射过程中,溅射电源向靶材153输出溅射功率,以使在生长腔壳体151内形成的等离子体刻蚀靶材153。靶材153具有至少一个表面部分是由将在设置在基座152上的基板155上溅射沉积的材料组成的。在一些实施例中,当例如形成氮化铝缓冲层时,可使用大体上的纯铝靶材形成含氮化铝缓冲层,通过使用包括惰性气体和含氮气体的等离子体而溅射所述纯铝靶材。机台工艺腔中磁体154与托盘一样大,例如小于或等于330mm时,托盘外圈靠外位置氮化铝沉积厚度偏薄,会影响整体厚度均匀性。在本实施例中,靶材153及背板1509整体扩大,将靶材153受轰击面的直径设置为大于或等于例如400mm~600mm,则磁铁运转覆盖面直径大于或等于400mm~600mm。在靶材153和背板1509的外侧,使 用保护环1510将其包围,且保护环为陶瓷环或不锈钢环。在一些实施例中,在将基板155载入生长腔壳体151之后,可通过使用含铝靶材和含氮处理气体在基板155上沉积连续的氮化铝薄膜,在溅射工艺期间使用的处理气体可包括但不限于含氮气体和惰性气体。

如图1和图8所示,在本申请一实施例中,在半导体设备100例如为化学气相沉积设备,则在传送腔110的侧壁上,设置有多个沉积腔。在本实施例中显示出四个沉积腔,即第一沉积腔161,第二沉积腔162,第三沉积腔163和第四沉积腔164。传送腔110内的机械臂可以将基板或晶圆依次送入第一沉积腔161,第二沉积腔162,第三沉积腔体163和第四沉积腔164中,以在基板或晶圆上形成薄膜。在本实施例中,第一沉积腔161,第二沉积腔162,第三沉积腔163和第四沉积腔164中至少包括一个可拆卸腔体,所述可拆卸腔体是指该腔体可以单独拆卸下来,不会影响整个半导体设备100的工作。本实施例例如将第一沉积腔161设置成可拆卸腔体。在其他实施例中,可单独设置一可拆卸腔体。
如图8所示,在本实施例中,第一沉积腔161例如可以为无掺杂及/或N型氮化镓MOCVD反应腔室。第二沉积腔162例如可以为多量子阱MOCVD反应腔室。第三沉积腔163例如可以为P型氮化镓MOCVD反应腔室106。
如图9所示,图9显示为第一沉积腔161的剖面图。从图中可以看出,该第一沉积腔161包括主腔体101,主腔体101内设置有底座102,底座102可以设置在主腔体101的底部。在主腔体102的顶部设置有射频组件103,射频组件103和底座102相对设置。射频组件103和底座102形成等离子产生区域。主腔体101的材料例如为不锈钢。在一些实施例中,射频组件103在沉积过程中还可以进行旋转,从而使得薄膜沉积更均匀。
如图9所示,在本实施例中,该底座102用于放置基板,在本实施例中,在底座102的正面上允许放置多个基板,例如可放置四个或六个或更多或更少个基板。本实施例在底座102上设置一个基板,以减少第一沉积腔161的质量,方便拆卸第一沉积腔161。
如图9所示,在一些实施例中,底座102还可连接一旋转单元,用于在膜沉积期间使底座102旋转,进一步改善镀膜的厚度均匀性,及改善镀膜的应力均匀性。
如图9所示,当然,在一些实施例中,还可以在底座102的背面设置一加热单元,通过该加热单元可以对基板进行加热。在一些实施例中,所述加热单元具体可以为射频加热器、红外辐射加热器或电阻加热器等,可以根据主腔体101的尺寸和材料进行不同的选择。在射频加热方式中,石墨的底座102被射频线圈通过诱导耦合加热,这种加热形式可以应用于大型的主腔体101,但是通常系统过于复杂。为了避免系统的复杂性,在稍小的主腔体101中,通常采用红外辐射加热方式,卤钨灯产生的热能被转化为红外辐射能,石墨的底座102吸收这种辐射能并将其转化回热能。在电阻加热方式中,通过电阻丝的发热,进而实现对底座102的加热。所述加热单元还可以集成于所述底座102内。
如图9所示,在本实施例中,该射频组件103还连接一射频电源,通过射频电源向射频组件103提供电压,从而将反应源气体电离成等离子体。
如图9所示,在本实施例中,在主腔体101的顶部还包括一进气口,进气管路104连接该进气口,进气管路104的一端连接所述进气口,进气管路104的另一端连接外部气源105。通过该外部气源105,进气管路104和进气口可将反应气体输送至主腔体101内。
如图9所示,在本实施例中,该进气口设置在射频组件103的一侧,进气管路104包括第一管路1041和第二管路1042。第一管路1041的一端连接外部气源105,第一管路1041的另一端连接第二管路1042。第一管路1041例如通过快速接头107连接第二管路1042。通过旋转该快速结构107即可将第一管路1041和第二管路1042连接或分开。在第一管路1041上设置有第一阀体106,当向主腔体101内输送气体时,第一阀体106例如是打开状态,当需要拆卸该腔体时,该第一阀体106例如是关闭状态,从而可以防止重金属粉尘进入无尘室内。
如图9和图10所示,在本实施例中,第二管路1042的一端延伸至主腔体101内,且在第二管路1042的一端设置有扩散板108。扩散板108上具有多个扩散孔1081。反应气体通过扩散孔1081可以均匀的扩散到主腔体101内。需要说明的时,这些扩散孔1081的直径可以相同也可以不同,这些扩散孔1081的排列密度也可以进行改变。
如图9和图11所示,在一些实施例中,还可以主腔体101的顶部设置多个进气口,也就是设置多个进气管路104,例如设置第一进气管路104a和第二进气管路104b,第一进气管路104a可以连接第一进气装置,第二进气管路104b可以连接第二进气装置。第一进气管路104a和第二进气管路104b位于主腔体101的两侧,且第一进气管路104a的高度大于第二进气管路104b的高度,由于第一进气管路104a和第二进气管路104b具有高度差,通过第一进气管路104a和第二进气管路104b向主腔体101输送的气体不会相互影响。第一进气管路104a向主腔体101内输送的气体例如为第一气体,所述第一气体包括反应前体、载气、吹扫气体中的一种或多种。第二进气管路104b向主腔体101内输送的气体例如为第二气体,所述第二气体也包括反应前体、载气、吹扫气体中的一种或多种,可以根据传输气体的不同,使所述第一进气装置与所述第二进气装置具有不同的温度,因此所述第一气体与所述第二气体具有不同的温度。在本实施例中,所述第一进气装置用于传输III族金属有机源,所述第二进气装置用于传输V族氢化物源为例进行说明。由于MOCVD生长工艺要求极高,通常需要极高的温度控制,且需要精确控制反应气体的配比,而III族金属有机源的分解温度与V族氢化物源的分解温度有较大差异,因此当控制使III族金属有机源和V族氢化物源的温度不同时,可以减少副反应的发生,提高III-V族化合物半导体薄膜的质量和沉积速率,同时防止III族金属有机源和V族氢化物源的浪费。此时所述第一进气装置的温度小于所述第二进气装置的温度,但不应以此限制本申请的保护范围。值得说明的是,在第一进气装置传输III族金属有机源和第二进气装置传输V族氢化物源的同时,第一进气装置和第二进气装置还可以同时传输载气,如氢气或氮气。
如图9所示,在本实施例中,在主腔体101的底部还设置至少一排气口,排气管路109的一端连接排气口,另一端连接抽气泵1013,通过该抽气泵1013对主腔体101进行抽气作业,以抽走多余的等离子体,进而减少多余的离子落到薄膜上的几率,提高薄膜的质量。在主腔体101的底部还设置第二阀体1014,第二阀体1014位于排气口上,当进行抽气作业时,第二阀体1014
处于打开状态,当完成沉积作业时,第二阀体1014可以处于关闭状态,以防止等离子体扩散出去。
如图8和图12所示,在本实施例中,该主腔体101还包括基板入口,传送腔110内的机械臂通过该基板入口将基板放置在主腔体101内。该基板入口包括两个伸缩门1011。当两个伸缩门1011打开时,也就是打开基板入口。当两个伸缩门1011关闭时,也就是关闭基板出口。该主腔体101还连接一锁紧单元1012,当拆卸该主腔体101时,该锁紧单元1012可以使得基板入口保持锁紧状态,也就是当主腔体101断电后,锁紧单元1012可以使得基板入口保持关闭或锁紧状态。当基板入口保持锁紧状态时,可以防止主腔体101内剩余的等离子体向无尘室内扩散,从而防止造成无尘室重金属污染。
如图9所示,在本实施例中,该基板入口还可以作为基板出口,也就是说机械臂通过该基板入口将基板放进主腔体101内或者将基板拿出主腔体101。在一些实施例中,主腔体101还可以包括一基板出口,也就是说基板出口与基板入口相对设置,因此当机械臂通过基板入口将基板放置在主腔体101内,然后通过基板出口将基板拿出主腔体101。由于基板出口和基板入口相对设置,因此打开基板出口时,主腔体101内的重金属粉尘不会扩散至无尘室内,因此不会造成无尘室污染。
如图13所示,在一些实施例中,第二管路1042的端部还可以设计成弯折状,所述弯折状朝向射频组件103和底座102之间,使得气体在射频组件103和底座102之间扩散。
如图1和图9所示,在本实施例中,半导体设备100包括传送腔110和可拆卸腔体,传送腔110内的机械臂将基板传送或传出可拆卸腔体内,当在任意一腔体完成作业时(包括预热、清洗、沉积、生长以及冷却),通过关闭第一阀体和第二阀体,从而气源内的气体无法进入可拆卸腔体内,同时可拆卸腔体内的反应气体也无法从排气口内排出,同时通过锁紧单元关闭可拆卸腔体的基板入口,然后将该可拆卸腔体移动至另一无尘室内,打开基板入口,然后取出基板,从而避免造成原来无尘室的重金属污染,然后可以对可拆卸腔体进行保养,然后在将该可拆卸腔体设置在传送腔110的外侧。
如图14,在一些实施例中,半导体设备100的镀膜系统180内设置有多个反应腔170,反应腔170可以是物理气相沉积设备中的生长腔,也可以是化学沉积设备中的沉积腔。在本实施例中,反应腔170例如包括第一反应腔171和第二反应腔172。且第一反应腔171和第二反应腔172上均设置有两个腔门,例如为第一腔门173和第二腔门174。每个腔门与一个基板装卸机械手臂111对应传送,例如包括与第一腔门173对应的第一机械手臂111a,以及与第二腔门174对应的第二机械手臂111b,且反应腔170的一侧还设 有进气管路183以及传输轨道181。且第一反应腔171和第二反应腔172之间通过开闭阀门连接,可方便运输基片,并提高加工效率。
如图14所示,第一腔门173和第二腔门174设置在第一反应腔171和第二反应腔172上,在一些实施例中,第一腔门173和第二腔门174设置在反应腔的同侧,在其他实施例中,第一腔门173和第二腔门174设置在反应腔的相对侧设置。第一腔门173和第二腔门174的具体结构可以为图12所示的伸缩门,在此不再次叙述。且在实际的薄膜生长过程中,第一腔门173作为基板入口/基板出口,第二腔门174作为基板出口/基板入口。将基板出口与基板入口分开,可减少基片的污染。与腔门对应设置的基板装卸机械手臂111,包括第一机械手臂111a和第二机械手臂111b。在基板的传送过程中,第一机械手臂111a例如可以通过第一腔门173将基板传入反应腔170内,第二机械手臂111b例如可以通过第二腔门174将基板从反应腔170内传出。设置两个机械臂可方便基板的拾取,同时传入和传出基板,且将传入和传出的基板装卸机械手臂111区分,可进一步减少基片的污染,进而可以提高沉积薄膜的质量和均匀性。
如图14所示,基座152(或底座102)设置在反应腔170的顶部,靶材153(或射频组件103)设置在反应腔170的底部。与图5(或图9)中的位置相反,反应物由下而上运动。在一些实施例中,基座152上具有固定卡扣,用于固定基片。在本实施例中,基座152为磁性基座,允许在靶材153的相对侧放置多个磁性基座,此时,基座152可直接将基板吸附在基座152上,而不需要其他的结构固定基板。基座152可包括蓝宝石,碳化硅,硅,氮化镓,金刚石,铝酸锂,氧化锌,钨,铜和/或铝氮化镓等材料制成,且可以将基座152蒸镀上金属层,使得基座152具有金属性。在基座152内设置磁体,使基座152具有吸附功能。磁体在作旋转运动时,基座152可绕自身中心轴旋转。当磁体进行旋转时,可以通过动力源如电机来驱动基座152环绕自身中心轴旋转,使得磁体所产生的磁场紧紧吸附基座152,进一步提高沉积薄膜的质量和均匀性,且基座152的尺寸例如为2-12英寸。
如图14所示,传输轨道181将反应腔170与其他半导体设备连接,例如将腔门与其他半导体设备连接,其中其他半导体设备可以为清洗设备、预热设备或其他半导体设备。进气管路182连接外部气源,外部气源通过进气管路182向该反应腔170内送入气体。进气管路182可包括第一进气管路和第二进气管路,第一进气管路连接第一反应腔171,第二进气管路连接第而反应腔172,该进气管路的设计方便气体的输入输出。
本申请的半导体设备可制造高质量无污染的薄膜,例如金属薄膜、半导体薄膜、绝缘薄膜、化合物薄膜或其他材料的薄膜。
如图15所示,在本申请一实施例中,当利用本公开的半导体设备来制造一半导体外延结构20时,半导体外延结构20可包括衬底200,以及依次设于衬底200上的第一半导体层203、有源层204和第二半导体结构21。
如图15所示,衬底200可以为蓝宝石衬底200。在其他实施例中,衬底200也可以采用硅(Si)、碳化硅(SiC)、砷化镓(GaAs)、铝酸锂(LiAlO 2)等材料制成。
如图15至图16所示,在一些实施例中,衬底200可选用无极化效应的晶轴材料制成,或者在衬底200上形成一层特殊的铺平层,以对衬底200的晶相方向进行选择,消除压电效应对衬底200的影响。在一些实施例中,衬底200可以选用N面(1100)或A面(1120)的材料制成,例如可以选用SiCO 3,GaN以及SiC等材料制成。在其他实施例中,当衬底200为其他衬底200时,可在衬底200上形成铺平层,以消除晶格缺陷。铺平层的材料可以选用第IIA族元素与氮组成的化合物作,具体例如为非极性的AlN材料或者非极性GaN材料。选用特殊的晶轴材料或设置铺平层,可避免导入大电流时导致衬底200内晶格扭力的产生,进而产生压电空洞,导致材料的发热裂化。
如图15所示,在一些实施例中,为获取平整的衬底200表面,可对衬底200表面进行碎晶颗粒处理,并将衬底200表面的碎晶颗粒进行氧化,形成碎晶氧化物,再使用氧化物刻蚀液清洗碎晶氧化物,进而获取平整的衬底200表面。在一具体实施例中,衬底200例如为硅衬底,可通过研磨或者刨削等工艺进行初步表面加工,在衬底200表面形成硅的碎晶颗粒。碎晶颗粒的产生导致晶体晶格上出现应力痕,影响晶体的生长,因而需要对碎晶颗粒进行处理。在本实施例中,可选用物理或者化学的方法消除碎晶颗粒带来的影响。当使用物理方法时,可以在预热腔种加热衬底200,使得衬底200表面达到例如300~400度,同时向腔内通入氧气、或其他氧化物,使碎晶颗粒发生氧化反应,以生成碎晶氧化物。当使用化学方法时,可以使用双氧水等氧化剂与碎晶颗粒反应生成碎晶氧化物。在反应过程中,可以通过升温的方法提高氧化反应速率,温度的范围例如为40~80度。在本实施例中,碎晶氧化物为二氧化硅,在进行氧化后,衬底200表面形成一层致密的二氧化硅层,可通过氧化物刻蚀液清洗,进而获取完整晶型。在本实施例中,可以使用氢氟酸或氨去除碎晶氧化物。在其他实施例中,衬底200材料不限于硅衬底200,也可以选取SiC衬底200以及其他衬底200,因衬底200的材料不同,可以选用不同的方法氧化碎晶颗粒,以及不同的溶液去除碎晶氧化物。

如图21所示,第一反射层232位于引光层231相对于衬底200的一侧,且第一反射层232覆盖引光层231。第一反射层232为正向反射层223,允许由衬底200方向发出的光穿过第一反射层232,第一反射层232相对于衬底200方向发出的光将被第一反射层232反射。在一些实施例中,第一反射层232为周期循环生长的三氧化二钛(Ti 2O 3)层和二氧化硅(SiO 2)层,且第一反射层232例如包括4~6个周期的Ti 2O 3和SiO 2,又例如包括5个周期的Ti 2O 3和SiO 2。其中三氧化二钛层覆盖引光层231,且三氧化二钛层的厚度例如为55~60nm,二氧化硅层覆盖三氧化二钛层,且二氧化硅层的厚度例如为90~100nm。
如图21所示,光震荡层233位于第一反射层232相对于引光层231的一侧,且光震荡层233覆盖第一反射层232。光震荡层233的折射率小于衬底200的折射率,在一些实施例中,光震荡层233可选用折射率为1.46的二氧化硅(SiO 2)、折射率为1.38的氟化镁(MgF 2),折射率为1.351的氮化钛(TiN)或折射率为1.433的氟化钙(CaF 2)中的一种或多种制成。光震荡层233的厚度例如为100~500nm,又例如为300~400nm,可避免光震荡层233过厚,容易开裂,以及震荡层太薄,导致亮度损失太大,微型发光二极管最终发光的光的强度较弱。
如图21所示,第二反射层234位于光震荡层233相对于第一反射层232的一侧,且第二反射层234覆盖光震荡层233。第二反射层234为反向反射层223,第二反射层234相对于衬底200方向发出的光穿过,由衬底200方向发出的光将被第二反射层234反射。在一些实施例中,第二反射层234为周期循环生长的二氧化硅(SiO 2)层和三氧化二钛(Ti 2O 3)层,且第二反射层234例如包括2~3个周期的SiO 2和Ti 2O 3,且二氧化硅层的厚度例如为90~100nm,三氧化二钛层覆盖二氧化硅层,三氧化二钛层的厚度例如为55~60nm。

如图22和图23,镀膜层237覆盖在还原层236上,且例如可以在真空环境下,且在压力例如为1×10 3~9×10 3torr的条件下,通过蒸镀或溅射的方式在还原层236上形成镀膜层237。其中镀膜层237包括多层组合层,例如包括第一组合层238和第二组合层239,且第二组合层239覆盖在第一组合层238上。镀膜层237可以为金属层组合层,也可以为氧化层组合层。在一些实施例中,第一组合层238的材料为Al,或者为Al和Ni,第二组合层239的材料为Ti或Pt,且镀膜层237的厚度例如为20~300nm。在其他实施例中,第一组合层238的材料为SiO 2或MgF 2,第二组合层239的材料为Ti 2O 5或SiNx,且镀膜层237的厚度例如为50~100nm。其中,当镀膜层237是氧化组合层时,镀膜层237可以包括多个循环设置的第一组合层238和第二组合层239。
如图26所示,在一些实施例中,半导体外延结构在长晶的过程中,半导体外延结构的表面可能会存在凹凸不平的缺陷,导致反射层223的效果不好。本实施例提供的一种微型发光二极管,可填平半导体外延结构的表面,同时可保证整体的膜层的应力平衡,避免因张应力造成镀膜层裂开,还可以增加出光效果。
如图26所示,半导体外延结构20与透明导电层220接触的表面上存在凹凸不平的缺陷,可在图20、图21或图22所示的微型发光二极管的基础上,在透明导电层220和反射层223之间设置复合填平层240,以改善半导体外延结构上的缺陷,在保护层224和绝缘层225之间设置压合层243,以确保整体的膜层应力平衡,避免因张造成镀膜裂开。

如图26至图27,在本实施例中,可采用PECVD沉积或蒸镀的方法在透明导电层220上形成填平层240,其中第一填平层240a的颗粒密度例如3~4g/cm 3,且第一填平层240a的材料例如为氧化铝(Al 2O 3)或氟化镁(MgF 3),氧化铝的密度为3.5~3.9g/cm 3,氟化镁的的密度为3.148g/cm 3。第二填平层240b的颗粒密度例如为1.5~3g/cm 3,且第二填平层240b的材料例如为二氧化硅(SiO 2)或氮化硅(SiN),二氧化硅的密度为2.2g/cm 3,氮化硅的密度为1.8~2.7g/cm 3。填平层240先使用粗颗粒形成第一填平层240a,镀的速度快,后面再补细颗粒填平形成第二填平层240b,就不会有空洞,且膜层质料好,不容易脱落。
如图26至图27,填平层240上设置有多个开孔241,且多个开孔241呈阵列设置。例如可以采用BOE蚀刻液湿蚀刻出开孔241,或采用电感耦合等离子体(ICP)干蚀刻的方法蚀刻出开孔241。开孔241呈柱状设置,且穿透第一填平层240a和第二填平层240b,其中开孔241的截面可呈圆形、方形、多边形或其他形状。在本实施例中,开孔241的孔径例如为3~5um,相邻开孔241之间的间隔例如为3~5um。孔径以及相邻开孔241之间的间隔设置可避免开孔241与间距过小,无法满足工艺需求,同时避免开口过大,填平层240与导电层之间的接触面积过小,而导致填平层240两侧电压差过高。
如图26所示,保护层224覆盖在反射层223上,压合层243覆盖在保护层224上,绝缘层225覆盖在压合层243上。压合层243包括第一压合层和第二压合层,且第二压合层覆盖在第一压合层上。在室温条件下,第一压合层和第二压合层的厚度之比例如为3:8。且第一压合层和第二压合层的厚度例如为30~600nm,可避免压合层243太薄无法作用,以及太厚会出现开裂等问题。在一些施例中,压合层243包括例如1层第一压合层和例如1第二压合层。在其他实施例中,压合层243包括多个周期循环的第一压合层和第二压合层。
如图26和图27所示,可采用PECVD沉积或蒸镀的方法在透明导电层220上形成压合层243,其中第一压合层的材料例如为二氧化硅(SiO 2),第二压合层的材料例如为二氧化钛(TiO 2)或Ti 2O 5
请结合图26和图28所示,微型发光二极管安装在基板244上时,可通过第一焊盘245将第一电极226焊接在基板244上,通过第二焊盘246将第二电极227焊接在基板244上。当基板244表现出压应力,基板244上设置的薄膜表现出张应力时,基板244和薄膜的两侧会向薄膜一侧翘曲。当基板244表现出张应力,基板244上设置的薄膜表现出压应力时,基板244和薄膜的两侧会向基板244一侧翘曲。在本实施例中,基板244在室温条件下会表现出较小的张应力,而压合层243薄膜的应力变化情况如下:第二压合层(TiO 2或Ti 2O 5)的厚度在300nm时,在室温下表现出的是张应力,例如为114Mpa,第一压合层(SiO 2)的厚度在400nm时,在室温表现出是压应力,例如为-56Mpa。因基板244本身是另一个方向的张应力,所以第一压合层与第二压合层厚度要在3:8的组合,此时压合层243表现出的应力将近为0,且有多一点压应力,可与基板244的表现出的张应力抵消。在其他温度时,基板244会因应力过大翘曲,可通过调整薄膜的应力,使基板244和基板244上的薄膜达到平衡。
如图29和图30所示,为了配合微型发光二极管高效节能的要求,对于倒装的亮度也需要越来越高。半导体外延结构在长晶的过程之中,由于表面易形成缺陷,产生表面凹凸不平,导致后面镀上反射镜之后,不会形成完全的镜面,导致于色散,光不集中,在封装成白光后,导致光效不好。本实施例提供的倒装微型发光二极管,如图29和图30所示,利用一特殊复合填平层240,使外延表面填平,且使得光垂直反射能力增加。同时使用一压合层243,确保整体的膜层应力平衡,避免因张应力造成镀膜层237裂开,同时此两种设计,也将倒装所需要的光垂直反射能力强化,以增加出光效。

如图31所示,软性金属层252设置在介质层251上,且覆盖介质层251。软性金属层252采用金属或合金制成,例如为金(Au)、锡(Sn)或银(Ag)制成,或采用锡(Sn)的合金制成。可在黄光条件下,在介质呈上镀或溅镀一层厚度例如为20~100um的金属或者合金,形成软性金属层252。其中随着软性金属层252厚度的增加,软性金属层252的半径逐渐减小,软性金属层252具体例如可呈圆台设置。当微型发光二极管与焊垫焊接时,可以将焊垫与电极之间的空洞顺势赶出去,再利用软性金属的特性,可填补不平的焊垫区域,更可以加大容许衬底200翘曲的窗口,增加产品的可靠性。

如图42至图43,在本实施例中,纳米孔293穿透第二半导体层292,当纳米孔293中不设置量子点时,微型发光二极管发出紫外光或蓝色光。在纳米孔内293中设置有红色量子点295时,微型发光二极管可以发出红色的光,在纳米孔293内设置有绿色量子点294时,微型发光二极管可以发出绿色的光。在第二半导体层292上,红色量子点295、绿色量子点294以及空置的纳米孔293依次排列。将量子点设置子纳米孔293内可以提高量子点的吸收率,延长量子点的使用寿命。
如图42至图43,在形成微型发光二极管显示面板时,基板244上设置有驱动电路296,且驱动电路296可以设置在基板244的表面,也可以设置在基板244内。将微型发光二极管与基板244键合后,驱动电路296可驱动微型发光二极管显示发光。在微型发光二极管上设置纳米孔293,并在纳米孔293内填充不同颜色的量子点,可避免不同色发光二极管的分拣,降低生产成本。
