In a specific embodiment, the transient substrate 24 may include, but not be limited to, a glass plate, quartz glass, the sapphire or a silicon wafer, and the release glue 25 may include, but not be limited to, UV photolytic glue, pyrolytic glue and low-temperature dissolving glue.

S23′, the growth substrate is removed by a laser lift-off technology, a surface of the LED chip fixed with the welding material and opposite to the first transient substrate is oriented toward the second transient substrate, and the LED chip fixed with the welding material is fixed on the second transient substrate through the second release glue.
During the specific implementation, preparation of the LED chip and a fixing process of the welding material in the embodiment 2 of the application are the same as preparation of the LED chip and a fixing process of the welding material in the embodiment 1. However, the difference is that there is no need to cut growth substrate 20 when the LED chip 22 fixed with the welding material 23 is obtained in the embodiment 2. When the LED chip 22 is subjected to the spot inspection, sorting and examination, the LED chip fixed with the welding material 23 is directly transferred onto the transient substrate 24. The transient substrate 24 in the embodiment may include the first transient substrate 241 and the second transient substrate 242. In the operation S2, the operation that the LED chip 22 fixed with the welding material 23 is transferred onto the transient substrate 24 is to transfer the LED chip 22 fixed with the welding material 23 onto the first transient substrate 241 and the second transient substrate 242. Before the operation that the LED chip 22 fixed with the welding material 23 is transferred onto the first transient substrate 241 and the second transient substrate 242, the first release glue 251 and the second release glue 252 further need to be coated or cladded on the first transient substrate 241 and the second transient substrate 242, respectively. In a specific embodiment, the first transient substrate 241 and the second transient substrate 242 may include, but not be limited to, the glass plate, the quartz glass, the sapphire and the silicon wafer. The first release glue 251 and the second release glue 252 may include, but not be limited to, the UV photolytic glue, the pyrolytic glue and the low-temperature dissolving glue.
During the specific implementation, when the welding material 23 is fixed onto the metal pad 221 of the LED chip 22 in the embodiment, the one surface of the LED chip 22 fixed with the welding material 23 and having the metal pad 221 is oriented toward the first transient substrate 241 coated or cladded with the first release glue 251 in advance, and then the one surface of the LED chip 22 having the metal pad 221 is fixed on the first transient substrate 241 through the first release glue 251.
During the specific implementation, because another surface of the LED chip 22 opposite to the metal pad 221 is fixed on the growth substrate 20, when the one surface of the LED chip having the metal pad 221 is fixed on the first transient substrate 241, the growth substrate 20 may be removed through the laser lift-off technology, to obtain the LED chip 22 fixed on the first transient substrate 241.
During the specific implementation, when the LED chip 22 fixed on the first transient substrate 241 is obtained in the embodiment, the one surface of the LED chip 22 fixed on the first transient substrate 241 and opposite to the first transient substrate 241 is further oriented toward the second transient substrate 242 coated or cladded with the second release glue 252 in advance, and then the one surface of the LED chip 22 opposite to the first transient substrate 241 is fixed on the second transient substrate 242 through the second release glue 252.
In a specific embodiment, release conditions of the first release glue are different from release conditions of the second release glue. After the operation S23′, the method may further include the following operation.
S24′, the first transient substrate is removed.
During the specific implementation, because the one surface of the LED chip 22 having metal pad 221 is fixed on the first transient substrate 241, in order to expose the welding material 23 on the metal pad so that the LED chip 22 is fixed on the receiving substrate 26 through the welding material 23 in a subsequent operation, the first transient substrate 241 needs to be further removed when the LED chip 22 is fixed on the second transient substrate 242 in the embodiment. Because the LED chip 22 is fixed with the first transient substrate 241 and the second transient substrate 242 through the first release glue 251 and the second release glue 252 respectively, after the LED chip 22 is fixed with the first transient substrate 241 and the second transient substrate 242 at the same time, the first transient substrate 241 may be removed by using the first release glue 251 and the second release glue 252 with different release conditions when the release conditions of the first release glue 251 are satisfied, without influencing the second transient substrate 242. For example, the first release glue 251 is the UV photolytic glue, the second release glue 252 is the pyrolytic glue. When the LED chip 22 is fixed on the first transient substrate 241 and the second transient substrate 242, the first transient substrate 241 is irradiated through the UV photolytic glue, in this way the first release glue 251 releases to remove the first transient substrate 241.
In a specific embodiment, after the operation S24′, the method may further include the following operations.
S25′, the metal pad of the LED chip fixed on the second transient substrate is aligned with the bonding pad of the receiving substrate, the welding material fixed on the LED chip is heated, and then the LED chip is fixed on the receiving substrate.
During the specific implementation, after the welding material 23 on the metal pad 221 is exposed upon removing the first transient substrate 241 when the release conditions of the first release glue 251 are satisfied, the metal pad 221 of the LED chip is further aligned with the bonding pad 261 of the receiving substrate 26, then the welding material 23 fixed on the LED chip 22 is heated, in this way the welding material 23 is melted down. Moreover, the LED chip 22 is fixed on the receiving substrate 26, wherein the mode of heating may include, but not be limited to, the reflow soldering, the vacuum baking and the laser heating.
In a specific embodiment, after the operation S25′, the method may further include the following operation.
S26′, the second transient substrate is removed.
During the specific implementation, after the LED chip 22 is fixed on the receiving substrate 26, the second transient substrate 242 is removed when the release conditions of the second release glue 252 are satisfied, that is, die bonding of the LED chip 22 is realized. The die bonding process may not be limited by the placement time after the welding material is printed, and the manufacturing process is stable.
In a specific embodiment, the embodiment further provides a display device. The display device may include a display substrate fixed with an LED chip. The LED chip is fixed on the display substrate with the die bonding method of the LED chip. The die bonding method of the LED chip is suitable for manufacturing of an integrated large-size LED display device because it is not limited by placement time when a welding material is printed.
