技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种发光二极管,特别涉及一种III-V族氮化物深紫外发光二极管结构及其制作方法,属于半导体光电技术领域。The invention relates to a light emitting diode, in particular to a structure of a III-V group nitride deep ultraviolet light emitting diode and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronics.
背景技术Background technique
III-V族氮化物半导体被称为第三代半导体材料,具有禁带宽度大、化学稳定性好、抗辐照性强等优点;其禁带宽度涵盖从深紫外、整个可见光、到近红外范围,可用于制作半导体发光器件,如发光二极管、激光器和超辐射发光二极管等。基于III-V族氮化物半导体的深紫外发光二极管具有节能环保、制作简单、体积小、重量轻、寿命长等优点,在杀菌消毒、水体净化、紫外光固化、植物光照以及珠宝鉴定等方面具有广阔的市场应用前景。然而目前的深紫外发光二极管输出功率很低,仅为mW量级,比蓝色发光二极管小两个量级。目前的深紫外发光二极管的外量子效率很低,一般不到10%,其主要瓶颈在于目前深紫外发光二极管的取光效率很低,仅为10%左右,远小于蓝色发光二极管的外量子效率(>80%)。导致深紫外发光二极管取光效率低的主要原因有以下两个方面:III-V nitride semiconductors are called third-generation semiconductor materials, and have the advantages of large band gap, good chemical stability, and strong radiation resistance; their band gaps cover from deep ultraviolet, the entire visible light, to near-infrared It can be used to make semiconductor light-emitting devices, such as light-emitting diodes, lasers and superluminescent light-emitting diodes. The deep ultraviolet light emitting diode based on III-V nitride semiconductor has the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection, simple fabrication, small size, light weight, long life, etc. Broad market application prospects. However, the current output power of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes is very low, only in the order of mW, which is two orders of magnitude smaller than that of blue light-emitting diodes. The external quantum efficiency of the current deep ultraviolet light emitting diode is very low, generally less than 10%. The main bottleneck is that the light extraction efficiency of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode is very low, only about 10%, which is much smaller than the external quantum efficiency of the blue light emitting diode. Efficiency (>80%). The main reasons for the low light extraction efficiency of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes are as follows:
一方面,由于蓝宝石衬底基本不会吸收深紫外光,且蓝宝石衬底非常廉价,因而现有深紫外发光二极管与大多数蓝色发光二极管类似,主要是生长在蓝宝石衬底上,如CN103137822B、CN103943737B和CN105977353A所示。然而与蓝色发光二极管采用GaN缓冲层不同,深紫外发光二极管通常采用AlN作为缓冲层,由于AlN的禁带宽度(6.2eV)远大于GaN的禁带宽度(3.4eV),现有用于蓝宝石衬底GaN基蓝色发光二极管剥离的激光器输出的激光(4.5eV)只能被GaN缓冲层吸收,而无法被AlN缓冲层高效吸收,因此无法用于蓝宝石衬底AlN基深紫外发光二极管的剥离。而且AlN外延材料比较脆,在受到冲击时容易破裂,因此很难制备与蓝宝石衬底GaN基蓝色发光二极管类似的薄膜发光二极管结构。另外,由于Al原子的迁移能力较弱,在蓝宝石图形衬底(Patterned Sapphire Substrate,PSS)上很难生长表面平整的高质量AlN材料,因此通常在蓝宝石平片衬底上外延生长AlN和深紫外发光二极管结构,所生长的外延层也为平面结构,光从蓝宝石衬底或氮化物外延层出射时,全反射角非常小,容易发生全反射,导致大部分光在多次内部反射过程中被内部材料吸收,因此深紫外发光二极管的取光效率很低,输出功率很小。On the one hand, since the sapphire substrate basically does not absorb deep ultraviolet light, and the sapphire substrate is very cheap, the existing deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes are similar to most blue light-emitting diodes, mainly grown on the sapphire substrate, such as CN103137822B, As shown in CN103943737B and CN105977353A. However, unlike blue light-emitting diodes that use a GaN buffer layer, deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes usually use AlN as a buffer layer. Since the forbidden band width of AlN (6.2eV) is much larger than that of GaN (3.4eV), it is currently used for sapphire linings. The laser output (4.5eV) of the bottom GaN-based blue light-emitting diode stripping laser can only be absorbed by the GaN buffer layer, but cannot be efficiently absorbed by the AlN buffer layer, so it cannot be used for the stripping of AlN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes on sapphire substrates. Moreover, the AlN epitaxial material is relatively brittle and is easily broken when subjected to impact, so it is difficult to prepare a thin-film light-emitting diode structure similar to that of a GaN-based blue light-emitting diode on a sapphire substrate. In addition, due to the weak mobility of Al atoms, it is difficult to grow high-quality AlN materials with a flat surface on a patterned sapphire substrate (PSS). Light-emitting diode structure, the grown epitaxial layer is also a planar structure, when the light is emitted from the sapphire substrate or the nitride epitaxial layer, the total reflection angle is very small, and total reflection is prone to occur, resulting in most of the light being reflected during multiple internal reflections. The internal material absorbs, so the light extraction efficiency of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode is very low, and the output power is very small.
另一方面,对于III-V族氮化物半导体而言,InN、GaN材料及其合金InGaN材料所发出的光为TE偏振模式,光可以从发光二极管的表面出射。而对于AlN和高Al组分的AlGaN材料,由于价带结构的变化,其发出的光主要为TM偏振模式,大部分光无法从发光二极管的表面出射,只能从发光二极管的侧面出射。对于深紫外发光二极管,其有源区通常为AlGaN或AlInGaN材料,随着发光二极管的波长往短波方向移动,有源区中的Al组分增加,发光二极管中TM偏振的光比例增加,TE偏振的光比例减少,导致能从外延片表面出射的光比例减少。对于传统深紫外发光二极管,表面面积较大(300μm×300μm量级),而侧壁面积很小(300μm×2μm量级),发光二极管内部发出的光传输到侧壁时,大部分被有源区自身吸收,因此深紫外发光二极管的取光效率很低,输出功率很小。On the other hand, for group III-V nitride semiconductors, the light emitted by InN, GaN materials and their alloy InGaN materials is in the TE polarization mode, and the light can be emitted from the surface of the light emitting diode. For AlN and AlGaN materials with high Al composition, due to the change of the valence band structure, the light emitted is mainly in the TM polarization mode, and most of the light cannot be emitted from the surface of the LED, but only from the side of the LED. For deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, the active region is usually made of AlGaN or AlInGaN materials. As the wavelength of the light-emitting diode moves to the short-wave direction, the Al composition in the active region increases, the proportion of TM-polarized light in the light-emitting diode increases, and the TE-polarized light increases. The proportion of light that can be emitted from the epitaxial wafer surface is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the proportion of light that can be emitted from the surface of the epitaxial wafer. For traditional deep ultraviolet light emitting diodes, the surface area is large (300μm × 300μm order), and the sidewall area is small (300μm × 2μm order). Therefore, the light extraction efficiency of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode is very low, and the output power is very small.
此外,对于III-V族氮化物半导体,通常采用二茂镁(CP2Mg)作为p型掺杂剂,由于Mg受主在氮化物中的电离能较高(GaN:170meV,AlN:470meV),通常不到10%的Mg受主发生电离,因此p型氮化物半导体中空穴浓度较低。同时由于p型层中的Mg受主掺杂浓度较高,且空穴有效质量较大,p型层中空穴的迁移率较低,导致p型层电阻较大,远大于n型层电阻,因此深紫外发光二极管的热源主要为p型层。传统氮化物深紫外发光二极管均采用正装封装方式,如CN 105047775A和CN106025007A所示,p型层中产生的热量需经过多量子阱有源区、n型层和约100μm厚的衬底,才能传导到热沉中,发光二极管的热流路径很长,且由于蓝宝石衬底热导率较低,导致深紫外发光二极管的热阻很大。而深紫外发光二极管的热功率较大,因此器件有源区的结温较高,严重影响了器件性能和寿命。目前虽然部分芯片封装也采用倒装结构,但芯片还是采用传统的同侧电极结构,这种封装方式需要在热沉上预先沉积图形化焊料,需保证焊接过程中N侧电极焊料和P侧电极焊料隔离,且需保证N侧电极和P侧电极的电学连接等等,这种封装方式非常容易产生漏电,从而引起器件失效等等,而且发光二极管散热需通过面积较小的焊料,仍然不如采用整面接触的倒装结构芯片,因此深紫外发光二极管的热阻较大。此外由于光从蓝宝石表面出射,出射界面离有源区非常远,导致深紫外发光二极管的取光效率很低,输出功率很小。In addition, for III-V nitride semiconductors, dicocene (CP 2 Mg) is usually used as the p-type dopant, due to the higher ionization energy of Mg acceptors in nitrides (GaN: 170meV, AlN: 470meV) , typically less than 10% of the Mg acceptors are ionized, so the hole concentration is low in p-type nitride semiconductors. At the same time, due to the high Mg acceptor doping concentration in the p-type layer and the large effective mass of holes, the mobility of holes in the p-type layer is low, resulting in a large resistance of the p-type layer, which is much larger than that of the n-type layer. Therefore, the heat source of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode is mainly the p-type layer. The traditional nitride deep ultraviolet light emitting diodes are all packaged in a positive way. As shown in CN 105047775A and CN106025007A, the heat generated in the p-type layer needs to pass through the multiple quantum well active region, the n-type layer and the substrate with a thickness of about 100 μm. In the heat sink, the heat flow path of the light emitting diode is very long, and the thermal resistance of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode is large due to the low thermal conductivity of the sapphire substrate. The thermal power of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode is relatively large, so the junction temperature of the active region of the device is relatively high, which seriously affects the performance and life of the device. At present, although some chip packages also adopt the flip-chip structure, the chips still use the traditional same-side electrode structure. This packaging method requires pre-depositing patterned solder on the heat sink, and it is necessary to ensure that the N-side electrode solder and the P-side electrode during the soldering process. Solder isolation, and it is necessary to ensure the electrical connection between the N-side electrode and the P-side electrode, etc. This packaging method is very prone to leakage, which will cause device failure, etc., and the heat dissipation of the LED needs to pass through a small area of solder. It is still better to use The flip-chip structure chip is in contact with the whole surface, so the thermal resistance of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode is relatively large. In addition, since the light exits from the sapphire surface, the exit interface is very far from the active region, resulting in low light extraction efficiency and low output power of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode.
另外,相对于GaAs或InP基材料,(0001)镓面III-V族氮化物半导体材料的化学稳定性好,耐酸碱,不易腐蚀,需通过干法刻蚀形成III-V族氮化物深紫外发光二极管的n型台面,如CN105047775A和CN106025007A所示。干法刻蚀通常会引入表面态、损伤和缺陷,这些表面态、损伤和缺陷不仅会成为非辐射复合中心,影响深紫外发光二极管的效率;还会成为漏电通道,影响器件的可靠性和稳定性。In addition, compared with GaAs or InP-based materials, (0001) gallium-face III-V nitride semiconductor materials have good chemical stability, acid and alkali resistance, and are not easy to corrode. The n-type mesa of the UV light emitting diode is shown in CN105047775A and CN106025007A. Dry etching usually introduces surface states, damage and defects, which will not only become non-radiative recombination centers and affect the efficiency of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, but also become leakage channels, affecting the reliability and stability of the device. sex.

本发明前述实施例提出的III-V族氮化物深紫外发光二极管结构具有取光效率高的特点,可以大幅提升深紫外发光二极管的输出功率。具体而言,本发明将基于SiC衬底或大尺寸、低成本Si衬底外延生长的深紫外发光二极管外延薄膜材料倒装键合在支撑片上,然后将Si衬底或SiC衬底和缓冲层去除,最后在氮化物材料的氮面制作取光增强的微纳结构,从而提高深紫外光的提取效率。本发明还提出通过穿孔结构(Via结构),制作n型欧姆接触电极,避免了在氮面n型接触层上制作n型电极引起的光吸收和光散射,以进一步提高深紫外发光二极管的取光效率。此外,采用Si衬底或SiC衬底生长深紫外发光二极管结构,可以通过调控AlN/AlGaN应力控制层,调控深紫外发光二极管中的应力;制作取光增强的微纳结构,亦可以调控应力。通过调控深紫外发光二极管中的应力,可以改变量子阱能带,从而增强深紫外发光二极管中TE模式光的比例,大幅提升器件的取光效率,提升深紫外发光二极管的输出功率。The III-V nitride deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure proposed in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention has the characteristics of high light extraction efficiency, which can greatly improve the output power of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode. Specifically, the present invention flip-chip bonds the epitaxial thin film material of deep ultraviolet light emitting diode based on SiC substrate or large-scale, low-cost Si substrate epitaxial growth on the support sheet, and then the Si substrate or SiC substrate and the buffer layer are bonded together by flip chip. removed, finally in the nitride material The nitrogen surface is used to fabricate a micro-nano structure with enhanced light extraction, thereby improving the extraction efficiency of deep ultraviolet light. The present invention also proposes to fabricate n-type ohmic contact electrodes through a perforated structure (Via structure), avoiding the need for The light absorption and light scattering caused by the formation of the n-type electrode on the nitrogen-faced n-type contact layer can further improve the light extraction efficiency of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode. In addition, by using Si substrate or SiC substrate to grow deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure, the stress in deep ultraviolet light emitting diode can be controlled by adjusting the AlN/AlGaN stress control layer; the stress can also be controlled by fabricating a micro-nano structure with enhanced light extraction. By regulating the stress in the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode, the quantum well energy band can be changed, thereby enhancing the proportion of TE mode light in the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode, greatly improving the light extraction efficiency of the device, and improving the output power of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode.
本发明前述实施例提出的III-V族氮化物深紫外发光二极管结构热阻小,可以大幅降低器件工作时的结温,提升深紫外发光二极管的性能和可靠性。进一步地讲,本发明将采用Si衬底或SiC衬底制备深紫外发光二极管结构,然后通过键合技术,将深紫外发光二极管倒装键合到热沉上,电阻较大的p型层整面与热沉直接连接,有源区和p型层中产生的热量将直接传导到热沉中,无需通过n型接触层和约100μm厚低热导率的衬底,因此本发明提出的深紫外发光二极管热阻很小。The structure of the III-V nitride deep ultraviolet light emitting diode proposed in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention has low thermal resistance, which can greatly reduce the junction temperature during operation of the device and improve the performance and reliability of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode. Further, in the present invention, a deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure is prepared by using a Si substrate or a SiC substrate, and then the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode is flip-chip bonded to the heat sink through the bonding technology, and the p-type layer with higher resistance is integrated. The surface is directly connected to the heat sink, and the heat generated in the active area and the p-type layer will be directly conducted into the heat sink, without passing through the n-type contact layer and the substrate with low thermal conductivity of about 100 μm thick, so the deep ultraviolet light emission proposed by the present invention Diode thermal resistance is small.
本发明前述实施例提出的III-V族氮化物深紫外发光二极管结构具有刻蚀损伤小和稳定性好等优点,可以大幅提升深紫外发光二极管的可靠性。例如,本发明将采用湿法腐蚀制备取光增强的微纳结构以及隔离深紫外发光二极管的外延层,避免了干法刻蚀对器件的影响,从而提升了深紫外发光二极管的稳定性和可靠性。The III-V nitride deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure proposed in the foregoing embodiments of the present invention has the advantages of less etching damage and good stability, and can greatly improve the reliability of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode.

总之,本发明提出的III-V族氮化物深紫外发光二极管结构具有取光效率高、热阻小、结温低和稳定性好等优点,可大幅增强深紫外发光二极管的输出功率和寿命。In conclusion, the III-V nitride deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure proposed in the present invention has the advantages of high light extraction efficiency, low thermal resistance, low junction temperature and good stability, and can greatly enhance the output power and life of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode.
本发明实施例的另一个方面提供的一种III-V族氮化物深紫外发光二极管结构的制作方法包括:在衬底上生长形成发光二极管的外延结构的步骤,所述外延结构包括依次在衬底上形成的n型接触层、有源区、电子阻挡层和p型接触层,以及Another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides a method for fabricating a III-V nitride deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure, which includes: growing on a substrate to form an epitaxial structure of a light emitting diode, the epitaxial structure comprising sequentially forming an epitaxial structure on the substrate. an n-type contact layer, an active region, an electron blocking layer, and a p-type contact layer formed on the bottom, and
制作分别与n型接触层、p型接触层电连接的n型电极、p型电极的步骤;the steps of making the n-type electrode and the p-type electrode electrically connected to the n-type contact layer and the p-type contact layer, respectively;
其特征在于还包括:It is characterized in that it also includes:
在位于所述发光二极管结构n侧的出光面上加工形成所述取光增强的微纳结构的步骤,所述出光面为氮面。The step of forming the light-extraction-enhanced micro-nano structure on the light-exiting surface on the n-side of the light-emitting diode structure, the light-exiting surface is: Nitrogen side.
进一步地,所述衬底选自Si衬底或SiC衬底。不同于蓝宝石衬底的是,Si衬底和SiC衬底会吸收深紫外光,衬底如果不剥离会严重影响深紫外发光二极管的输出功率,且SiC衬底的价格非常昂贵,因此在现有的深紫外发光二极管结构的制程中,一般不会考虑采用此类衬底。但本案发明人经长期研究及大量实验后意外发现,若在本发明的制作工艺中采用Si衬底或SiC衬底,一方面能够在此类衬底上形成高质量的外延层,提升深紫外发光二极管的取光效率及输出功率,另一方面此类衬底也易于外延层剥离的,可通过湿法腐蚀去除,进而使得薄膜深紫外发光二极管结构得以实现。又及,如前文所述,采用此类衬底生长深紫外发光二极管结构,可以通过调控AlN/AlGaN应力控制层,调控深紫外发光二极管中的应力,进而可以改变量子阱能带,从而增强深紫外发光二极管中TE模式光的比例,大幅提升器件的取光效率,提升深紫外发光二极管的输出功率。Further, the substrate is selected from Si substrate or SiC substrate. Different from sapphire substrate, Si substrate and SiC substrate will absorb deep ultraviolet light, if the substrate is not peeled off, it will seriously affect the output power of deep ultraviolet light emitting diode, and the price of SiC substrate is very expensive, so in the existing Such substrates are generally not considered in the fabrication process of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure. However, after long-term research and a large number of experiments, the inventor of the present case unexpectedly found that if a Si substrate or a SiC substrate is used in the manufacturing process of the present invention, on the one hand, a high-quality epitaxial layer can be formed on such a substrate, and the deep ultraviolet The light extraction efficiency and output power of the light-emitting diode, on the other hand, this kind of substrate is also easy to peel off the epitaxial layer, which can be removed by wet etching, so that the thin-film deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diode structure can be realized. Also, as mentioned above, using this type of substrate to grow the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure can control the stress in the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode by regulating the AlN/AlGaN stress control layer, and then change the quantum well energy band, thereby enhancing the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode. The proportion of TE mode light in the UV light emitting diode greatly improves the light extraction efficiency of the device and improves the output power of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode.
进一步地,所述p型电极包括p型接触电极或透明导电膜,所述p型电极与p型接触层形成欧姆接触。Further, the p-type electrode includes a p-type contact electrode or a transparent conductive film, and the p-type electrode forms an ohmic contact with the p-type contact layer.
进一步地,所述p型接触电极整面沉积在p型接触层上。更进一步地,所述p型接触电极通过焊料与热沉整面连接。而对于现有的蓝宝石衬底深紫外发光二极管而言,由于难以剥离蓝宝石衬底,因此大多数芯片采用倒装封装,但芯片还是采用传统的同侧电极结构,焊接过程中N侧电极焊料和P侧电极焊料需要隔离,且需保证N侧电极和P侧电极的电学连接等等,因此P侧电极和N侧电极均只是与焊料小面积接触,这种封装方式非常容易产生漏电,引起器件失效,更重要的是,由于接触面积较小,蓝宝石深紫外发光二极管的散热面积较小,热阻较大。与现有蓝宝石衬底深紫外发光二极管不同,本发明提出的深紫外发光二极管结构采用电极与热沉整面接触,散热面积非常大,器件热阻很低,可以大幅提升器件的性能,提升深紫外发光二极管的输出功率。Further, the entire surface of the p-type contact electrode is deposited on the p-type contact layer. Furthermore, the p-type contact electrode is connected with the heat sink over the entire surface by solder. For the existing sapphire substrate deep ultraviolet light emitting diodes, due to the difficulty of peeling off the sapphire substrate, most chips use flip-chip packaging, but the chips still use the traditional same-side electrode structure. During the welding process, the N-side electrode solder and The P-side electrode solder needs to be isolated, and the electrical connection between the N-side electrode and the P-side electrode needs to be ensured, etc. Therefore, both the P-side electrode and the N-side electrode are only in contact with the solder in a small area. This packaging method is very prone to leakage, causing the device Failure, and more importantly, due to the small contact area, the sapphire DUV LED has a small heat dissipation area and a large thermal resistance. Different from the existing sapphire substrate deep ultraviolet light emitting diode, the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure proposed by the present invention adopts the electrode to contact the whole surface of the heat sink, the heat dissipation area is very large, the thermal resistance of the device is very low, the performance of the device can be greatly improved, and the depth of the device can be greatly improved. output power of UV LEDs.
更进一步地,所述p型接触电极采用高反射率的金属电极。Furthermore, the p-type contact electrode adopts a metal electrode with high reflectivity.
更进一步地,所述金属电极的材质包括Ni、Al、Ag、Pd、Pt、Au、TiN、Rh等材料中的任意一种或两种以上的组合,且不限于此。Further, the material of the metal electrode includes any one or a combination of two or more of materials such as Ni, Al, Ag, Pd, Pt, Au, TiN, Rh, etc., and is not limited thereto.
进一步地,所述透明导电膜上还覆设有高反膜。Further, a high-reflection film is also covered on the transparent conductive film.
进一步地,所述透明导电膜整面覆设在p型接触层上。Further, the entire surface of the transparent conductive film is covered on the p-type contact layer.
更进一步地,所述透明导电膜的材质包括AZO、IGZO、ITO、ZnO和MgO中的任意一种或两种以上的组合,且不限于此。Further, the material of the transparent conductive film includes any one or a combination of two or more of AZO, IGZO, ITO, ZnO and MgO, and is not limited thereto.
更进一步地,所述高反膜的材质包括Ag、Al、ZnO、MgO、SiO2、SiNx、TiO2、ZrO2、AlN、Al2O3、Ta2O5、HfO2、HfSiO4、AlON中的任意一种或两种以上的组合,且不限于此。Further, the material of the high-reflection film includes Ag, Al, ZnO, MgO, SiO 2 , SiN x , TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , AlN, Al 2 O 3 , Ta 2 O 5 , HfO 2 , HfSiO 4 , Any one or a combination of two or more of AlONs, but not limited thereto.
进一步地,所述的制作方法还包括:至少采用干法刻蚀、湿法腐蚀、电化学腐蚀、或光辅助的电化学腐蚀中任意一种方式在所述的氮面上加工形成所述取光增强的微纳结构,所述的氮面为所述n型接触层与有源区相背对的一侧表面。作为对比,现有蓝宝石衬底深紫外发光二极管,由于衬底难以剥离,均采用倒装封装,光从约100μm厚的蓝宝石衬底出射,蓝宝石衬底很硬,不易加工,即使采用干法刻蚀加工制作粗化等等,由于蓝宝石衬底较厚,粗化的图形离发光有源区非常远,对光的散射效果较差,不能有效地提升深紫外发光二极管的取光效率。与现有蓝宝石衬底深紫外发光二极管不同,本发明提出的深紫外发光二极管结构衬底非常容易剥离,衬底去除后,即为氮化物材料的氮面,氮面材料非常容易加工,可通过上述方法制作取光增强的微纳结构,取光增强的微纳结构离量子阱有源区非常近,仅1-2μm,因此这种取光增强的微纳结构可以大幅提升器件的取光效率,提升深紫外发光二极管的输出功率。Further, the manufacturing method further comprises: at least adopting any one of dry etching, wet etching, electrochemical etching, or light-assisted electrochemical etching in the The nitrogen surface is processed to form the light-extraction-enhanced micro-nano structure, and the The nitrogen side is the side surface of the n-type contact layer opposite to the active region. In contrast, the existing deep ultraviolet light emitting diodes on sapphire substrates are all flip-chip packaged because the substrate is difficult to peel off. The light is emitted from a sapphire substrate with a thickness of about 100 μm. The sapphire substrate is very hard and difficult to process. Even if dry etching is used Due to the thick sapphire substrate, the roughened pattern is very far from the light-emitting active area, the light scattering effect is poor, and the light extraction efficiency of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode cannot be effectively improved. Different from the existing sapphire substrate deep ultraviolet light emitting diode, the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure substrate proposed by the present invention is very easy to peel off, and after the substrate is removed, it is the nitride material. nitrogen side, The nitrogen surface material is very easy to process, and the light-extraction-enhanced micro-nano structure can be fabricated by the above method. The light-extraction-enhanced micro-nano structure is very close to the quantum well active area, only 1-2 μm. Therefore, this light-extraction-enhanced micro-nano structure The structure can greatly improve the light extraction efficiency of the device and increase the output power of the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode.
进一步地,所述取光增强的微纳结构包含锯齿形微结构、三角形微结构、纳米柱微结构、梯形微结构、倒梯形微结构、蒙古包形微结构、微纳多孔微结构等中的任意一种或两种以上的组合,且不限于此。Further, the micro-nano structure enhanced by light extraction includes any of zigzag-shaped micro-structure, triangular micro-structure, nano-pillar micro-structure, trapezoidal micro-structure, inverted trapezoidal micro-structure, yurt-shaped micro-structure, micro-nano porous micro-structure, etc. One or a combination of two or more, but not limited thereto.
进一步地,所述的制作方法还可包括:至少采用湿法腐蚀方式实现所述二极管结构的外延结构的隔离。通常外延生长出来的表面为(0001)镓面,镓面有很强的化学稳定性,无法通过湿法腐蚀进行二极管外延结构的隔离,只能通过干法刻蚀来隔离,干法刻蚀通常会引入表面态、损伤和缺陷,这些表面态、损伤和缺陷不仅会成为非辐射复合中心,影响深紫外发光二极管的效率;还会成为漏电通道,影响器件的可靠性和稳定性。作为对比,蓝宝石衬底的深紫外发光二极管不能进行衬底剥离,因此无法从氮面进行湿法腐蚀来隔离外延层或者制备取光增强的微纳结构。与现有蓝宝石衬底深紫外发光二极管不同,本发明提出的深紫外发光二极管结构衬底非常容易剥离,衬底去除后,即为氮化物材料的氮面,氮面材料化学稳定性好,非常容易加工,可通过上述方法进行外延层隔离或制作取光增强的微纳结构。Further, the manufacturing method may further include: at least implementing the isolation of the epitaxial structure of the diode structure by means of wet etching. Usually, the surface grown epitaxially is the (0001) gallium surface. The gallium surface has strong chemical stability, and the diode epitaxial structure cannot be isolated by wet etching. It can only be isolated by dry etching. Dry etching usually Surface states, damage and defects will be introduced, which will not only become non-radiative recombination centers and affect the efficiency of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, but also become leakage channels, affecting the reliability and stability of the device. In contrast, deep UV light-emitting diodes on sapphire substrates cannot undergo substrate lift-off, so they cannot be removed from the The nitrogen surface is wet-etched to isolate epitaxial layers or to prepare light-extraction-enhanced micro-nano structures. Different from the existing sapphire substrate deep ultraviolet light emitting diode, the deep ultraviolet light emitting diode structure substrate proposed by the present invention is very easy to peel off, and after the substrate is removed, it is the nitride material. nitrogen side, The nitrogen surface material has good chemical stability and is very easy to process, and can be used for epitaxial layer isolation or fabrication of light extraction-enhanced micro-nano structures by the above methods.
更进一步地,所述湿法腐蚀采用的腐蚀试剂包括碱性或酸性溶液。Further, the etching reagent used in the wet etching includes an alkaline or acidic solution.
其中所述碱性溶液包括但不限于KOH、NaOH、TMAH或(NH4)2S等中的任意一种或两种以上的组合。The alkaline solution includes, but is not limited to, any one or a combination of two or more of KOH, NaOH, TMAH, (NH 4 ) 2 S, and the like.
其中,所述酸性溶液包括但不限于H3PO4、HF或HNO3等中的任意一种或两种以上的组合。Wherein, the acidic solution includes, but is not limited to, any one or a combination of two or more of H 3 PO 4 , HF or HNO 3 .
进一步地,所述的制作方法还可包括:Further, the manufacturing method can also include:
至少在所述的外延结构内制作穿孔结构,所述穿孔结构自所述发光二极管结构的p侧延伸至n型接触层,at least forming a through-hole structure in the epitaxial structure, the through-hole structure extending from the p-side of the light-emitting diode structure to the n-type contact layer,
以及,在所述穿孔结构内制作n型电极,并使n型电极与n型接触层形成欧姆接触。And, an n-type electrode is formed in the through-hole structure, and the n-type electrode and the n-type contact layer form an ohmic contact.
