Abstract
Description
本揭露是關於一種光電半導體元件,特別是關於一種發光二極體元件。The present disclosure relates to a photoelectric semiconductor device, and more particularly to a light emitting diode device.
半導體元件的用途十分廣泛,相關材料的開發研究也持續進行。舉例來說,包含三族及五族元素的III-V族半導體材料可應用於各種光電半導體元件如發光晶片(例如:發光二極體或雷射二極體)、吸光晶片(光電偵測器或太陽能電池)或不發光晶片(例如:開關或整流器的功率元件),能用於照明、醫療、顯示、通訊、感測、電源系統等領域。Semiconductor components have a wide range of uses, and the development and research of related materials is also ongoing. For example, III-V semiconductor materials containing group III and group V elements can be applied to various optoelectronic semiconductor components such as light-emitting chips (e.g., light-emitting diodes or laser diodes), light-absorbing chips (photodetectors or solar cells) or non-light-emitting chips (e.g., power components of switches or rectifiers), and can be used in lighting, medical, display, communication, sensing, power supply systems and other fields.
隨著科技的進步,光電半導體元件的體積逐漸往小型化發展。近幾年來,由於發光二極體(light-emitting diode,LED)製作尺寸上的突破,目前將發光二極體以陣列排列製作的微型發光二極體(micro-LED)顯示器在市場上逐漸受到重視。微型發光二極體顯示器相較於有機發光二極體(organic light-emitting diode,OLED)顯示器而言,更為省電、具有較佳的可靠性、更長的使用壽命以及較佳的對比度表現,而可在陽光下具有可視性。隨著科技的發展,現今對於光電半導體元件仍存在許多技術研發的需求。雖然現有的光電半導體元件大致上已經符合多種需求,但並非在各方面皆令人滿意,仍需要進一步改良。With the advancement of technology, the size of optoelectronic semiconductor components has gradually developed towards miniaturization. In recent years, due to the breakthrough in the size of light-emitting diode (LED) manufacturing, micro-LED displays, which are made by arranging LEDs in arrays, have gradually gained attention in the market. Compared with organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, micro-LED displays are more power-saving, have better reliability, longer service life, better contrast performance, and can be visible in sunlight. With the development of technology, there are still many technical research and development needs for optoelectronic semiconductor components. Although existing optoelectronic semiconductor devices have generally met various requirements, they are not satisfactory in all aspects and still need further improvement.
本揭露一實施例提供一種光電半導體元件。上述光電半導體元件包括半導體疊層、第一電極、第一導電結構以及第二導電結構。半導體疊層包括上表面、第一側壁及第二側壁。第一電極覆蓋半導體疊層的上表面。第一導電結構與第一電極物理性分離,且覆蓋第一側壁。第二導電結構與第一電極物理性分離,且覆蓋第二側壁。第一側壁具有第一斜率,第二側壁具有第二斜率不同於第一斜率。An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photoelectric semiconductor element. The above-mentioned photoelectric semiconductor element includes a semiconductor stack, a first electrode, a first conductive structure and a second conductive structure. The semiconductor stack includes an upper surface, a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first electrode covers the upper surface of the semiconductor stack. The first conductive structure is physically separated from the first electrode and covers the first sidewall. The second conductive structure is physically separated from the first electrode and covers the second sidewall. The first sidewall has a first slope, and the second sidewall has a second slope different from the first slope.
以下參照本揭露實施例之圖式以更全面地闡述本揭露。然而,本揭露亦可以各種不同的實施方式實現,而不應限於本文中所述之實施例。圖式中的層與區域的厚度可能會為了清楚起見而放大,並且在各圖式中相同或相似之參考號碼表示相同或相似之元件。The present disclosure is described more fully below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure may be implemented in various different embodiments and should not be limited to the embodiments described herein. The thickness of layers and regions in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity, and the same or similar reference numbers in the drawings represent the same or similar elements.
本揭露實施例提供一種光電半導體元件。光電半導體元件包括位於基底上的半導體疊層、覆蓋半導體疊層的側壁的絕緣結構、位於半導體疊層上且彼此分離的第一電極及第二電極、以及與第一電極及第二電極物理性分離的導電結構。位於半導體疊層的側壁上的導電結構具有彼此分離的第一區域及第二區域。當將光電半導體元件的第一電極及第二電極分別與外部電路進行組裝及電性連接時,導電結構的第一區域及第二區域可避免因形成第一電極、第二電極及導電結構的製程中可能殘留於半導體疊層側壁上,而造成光電半導體元件短路之問題。The disclosed embodiment provides a photoelectric semiconductor device. The photoelectric semiconductor device includes a semiconductor stack located on a substrate, an insulating structure covering the sidewall of the semiconductor stack, a first electrode and a second electrode located on the semiconductor stack and separated from each other, and a conductive structure physically separated from the first electrode and the second electrode. The conductive structure located on the sidewall of the semiconductor stack has a first region and a second region separated from each other. When the first electrode and the second electrode of the optoelectronic semiconductor element are respectively assembled and electrically connected to the external circuit, the first region and the second region of the conductive structure can avoid the problem of short circuit of the optoelectronic semiconductor element caused by the residues left on the side wall of the semiconductor stack during the process of forming the first electrode, the second electrode and the conductive structure.

請參考第8圖,接著,於第一電極246和第二電極248上形成彼此分離的遮罩330、340,分別覆蓋第一電極246和第二電極248。在一些實施例中,遮罩330、340的上視面積分別大於第一電極246和第二電極248的上視面積8。如第8圖所示,遮罩330位於第一電極246的正上方,並延伸覆蓋半導體疊層208的部分側壁220、224。詳細來說,遮罩330完全覆蓋第一電極246,且覆蓋第一高台區210的頂面和側壁224a1、及第二平坦區214的頂面和側壁220a。遮罩340位於第二電極248的正上方,並延伸覆蓋半導體疊層208的部分側壁220、224。詳細來說,遮罩340完全覆蓋第二電極248,且覆蓋第二高台區212的頂面和側壁224b1、224b2、及第三平坦區218的頂面和側壁220b。如第8圖所示,遮罩330、340以間距W1彼此相隔,使半導體疊層208的側壁220、224上的部分導電結構242、244暴露出來。接著,對導電結構242、244進行第二蝕刻製程,以移除斷環繞半導體疊層208的側壁220、224上的部分導電結構242、244,並使導電結構242具有分離的第一區域242a及第二區域242b,及導電結構244有分離的第三區域244a及第四區域244b。進行第二蝕刻製程之後,移除遮罩330、340,以形成第1圖所示的光電半導體元件500a。在一些實施例中,遮罩330、340之間的間距W1小於第一電極246和第二電極248之間的間距W2,以確保於第二蝕刻製程時,此步驟不會對第一電極246和第二電極248造成損傷。在一些實施例中,第二蝕刻製程與第一蝕刻製程為不同的蝕刻製程,例如為濕蝕刻製程,以完全去除位於半導體疊層208的側壁220、224上且未被遮罩330、340覆蓋的導電結構242、244,以確保最終形成的光電半導體元件500a的第一電極246和第二電極248與外部電路進行組裝及電性連接時,不會因電性連接至環繞半導體疊層208的側壁220、224上的導電結構242、244,造成光電半導體元件短路的問題。Referring to FIG. 8 , masks 330 and 340 separated from each other are then formed on the first electrode 246 and the second electrode 248 to cover the first electrode 246 and the second electrode 248, respectively. In some embodiments, the top-view areas of the masks 330 and 340 are respectively larger than the top-view areas of the first electrode 246 and the second electrode 248. As shown in FIG. 8 , the mask 330 is located directly above the first electrode 246 and extends to cover part of the sidewalls 220 and 224 of the semiconductor stack 208. In detail, the mask 330 completely covers the first electrode 246, and covers the top and sidewalls 224a1 of the first high plateau region 210, and the top and sidewalls 220a of the second flat region 214. The mask 340 is located directly above the second electrode 248, and extends to cover part of the sidewalls 220, 224 of the semiconductor stack 208. In detail, the mask 340 completely covers the second electrode 248, and covers the top and sidewalls 224b1, 224b2 of the second high plateau region 212, and the top and sidewalls 220b of the third flat region 218. As shown in FIG. 8 , the masks 330 and 340 are spaced apart from each other by a distance W1, so that portions of the conductive structures 242 and 244 on the sidewalls 220 and 224 of the semiconductor stack 208 are exposed. Then, a second etching process is performed on the conductive structures 242 and 244 to remove portions of the conductive structures 242 and 244 on the sidewalls 220 and 224 surrounding the semiconductor stack 208, and the conductive structure 242 has separated first regions 242a and second regions 242b, and the conductive structure 244 has separated third regions 244a and fourth regions 244b. After the second etching process is performed, the masks 330 and 340 are removed to form the optoelectronic semiconductor device 500a shown in FIG. 1 . In some embodiments, the distance W1 between the masks 330 and 340 is smaller than the distance W2 between the first electrode 246 and the second electrode 248 to ensure that the first electrode 246 and the second electrode 248 are not damaged during the second etching process. In some embodiments, the second etching process is a different etching process from the first etching process, such as a wet etching process, to completely remove the conductive structures 242, 244 on the side walls 220, 224 of the semiconductor stack 208 that are not covered by the masks 330, 340, so as to ensure that when the first electrode 246 and the second electrode 248 of the finally formed optoelectronic semiconductor element 500a are assembled and electrically connected to the external circuit, they will not be electrically connected to the conductive structures 242, 244 on the side walls 220, 224 surrounding the semiconductor stack 208, causing a short circuit problem in the optoelectronic semiconductor element.

Component symbols in FIGS. 9 and 10 that are the same or similar to those in FIGS. 1 and 2 represent the same or similar components. The difference between the photoelectric semiconductor element 500c and the photoelectric semiconductor element 500a is that the semiconductor stack 208 of the photoelectric semiconductor element 500c does not include the second flat area 214 and the third flat area 218, that is, the semiconductor stack 208 only includes the first high plateau area 210, the second high plateau area 212 and the first flat area 216. The semiconductor stack 208 includes a side wall 226. In detail, the sidewall 226 may include the sidewalls 226a1 and 226a2 of the first high plateau region 210 and the sidewalls 226b1 and 226b2 of the second high plateau region 212. The insulating structure 236 may cover the top surface and the sidewalls 226a1 and 226a2 of the first high plateau region 210, a portion of the top surface of the first flat region 216, and the sidewalls 226b1 and 226b2 and a portion of the top surface of the second high plateau region 212. The first conductive structure 242 has a first region 242a and a second region 242b that are physically separated from each other. The first region 242a covers the sidewall 226a1, and the second region 242b covers the sidewall 226b1.
