Description

The manufacture method of vertical type light emitting diode
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of semiconductors, particularly a kind of manufacture method of light-emitting diode of vertical-type.
Background technology
Semiconductor light-emitting-diode is used increasingly extensive, and the trend that replaces incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp is particularly arranged aspect illumination, but also faces at present some technical problems, and particularly light taking-up efficient is lower.
In recent years, for luminous power and the efficient that improves light-emitting diode, developed the light-emitting diode of vertical stratification, with respect to the light-emitting diode of positive assembling structure, the light-emitting diode plurality of advantages of vertical stratification.For the light-emitting diode of positive assembling structure because n, p electrode are in the same side of substrate, so electric current must be between the n of homonymy, p-type electrode lateral flow, so just cause current crowding, caloric value is high.And two electrodes of light emitting diode with vertical structure are in respectively the both sides of light-emitting diode, and electric current almost whole vertical currents is crossed epitaxial loayer, do not have the electric current of lateral flow, so CURRENT DISTRIBUTION is even, and the heat of generation is relatively less.And because two electrodes of vertical stratification are in both sides, therefore go out can not be subject in the photoreduction process stopping that with lateral electrode its light extraction efficiency is higher.
In the practical work process of light-emitting diode, when light leaves diode inside, in any case it all can't avoid occuring loss, cause the main cause of loss, be to have high index of refraction owing to form the semi-conducting material of LED surface layer.High optical refractive index can cause light to produce total reflection at this semiconductor material surface, thereby the light that light-emitting diode inside is sent can't be launched fully.At present, improve light in the total reflection of diode inside by the surface coarsening technology in the industry, thereby raising luminous efficiency, yet, because roughening treatment is carried out on the surface that prior art usually only is grouped into structure to diode portion, therefore this has caused its roughened surface skewness, effective improving luminous efficiency.
Simultaneously, light-emitting diode sends is only produced by the luminescent layer in its internal structure, the light that luminescent layer sends mainly is to send by the front of light-emitting diode, and the light that sends from its side must first through the total reflection of light-emitting diode internal structure, make the light path of light change and could be sent by the side.Side bright dipping is not enough with regard to having caused the positive bright dipping of existing light-emitting diode too much for this, therefore also just causes the inhomogeneous of light-emitting diode bright dipping.
Fig. 1 is existing vertical type light emitting diode.Among Fig. 1, substrate 101 belows are formed with transparent metal ohmic contact layer 100, and N-shaped electrode 111 is realized being electrically connected with this substrate 101 by this transparent metal ohmic contact layer 100.And substrate 101 tops form GaN resilient coating 102, N-shaped GaN layer 103, multiple quantum well light emitting layer (MQW) 104, p-type AlGaN layer 105, p-type GaN layer 106, transparent electrode layer 107 successively, p metal electrode 112; Wherein GaN resilient coating 102 surfaces are by roughening treatment, to form nano level jagged surface coarsening layer 122.
In light emitting diode construction shown in Figure 1, because roughened layer only is formed at the inside of light-emitting diode, be on the surface of GaN resilient coating 102, therefore, although passed through the reflection of roughened layer 122 by the light of multiple quantum well light emitting layer 104 generation, can improve in certain degree the luminous efficiency of side, still, this roughened layer that is in the light-emitting diode inside also is not enough to further improve luminous efficiency.
And, light-emitting diode referring to structure shown in Figure 1, what as seen multiple quantum well light emitting layer 104 sent wide is manyly appeared by the front of light-emitting diode, namely the upper surface by transparent electrode layer 107 appears, and only has a small amount of light to be appeared by the side of light-emitting diode through after the total reflection of transparent electrode layer 107.Therefore, the uniformity of luminance of the light-emitting diode of structure shown in Figure 1 is still waiting to improve.
