BACKGROUND

A typical epitaxial layer structure of a current Light-emitting diode (LED) chip generally includes a substrate, an N-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a P-type semiconductor layer stacked in sequence from bottom to top. Light generated by the LED chip needs to penetrate through the active layer, the N-type semiconductor layer and the substrate in sequence so as to be emitted from a bottom surface of the substrate. A transmission path of the light is long, and energy attenuation is large, which is not beneficial for improving the light-emitting efficiency, especially for light with high energy which is easily absorbed by semiconductor materials, electrodes and the like and then converted into heat energy, for example, ultraviolet light.

Therefore, how to improve the light-emitting efficiency of the LED chip is a problem urgently needed to be solved at present.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to facilitate an understanding of the present disclosure, a more complete description of the present disclosure will now be made with reference to the associated drawings. Exemplary implementations of the present disclosure are given in the drawings. However, the present disclosure may be realized in many different forms and is not limited to the implementations described herein. Rather, the implementations are provided so that a more thorough and complete understanding of the content of the present disclosure is provided.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the specification have a same meaning generally understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present disclosure herein are for the purpose of describing the exemplary implementations only and are not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

In the related art, a typical inverted LED chip structure is shown in FIG. 1, including a substrate 14, an N-type semiconductor layer 20, an active layer 30 and a P-type semiconductor layer 40 which are stacked in sequence from bottom to top, and two electrodes 50 which are respectively disposed on the N-type semiconductor layer 20 and the P-type semiconductor layer 40. The light-emitting direction is shown as an arrow in FIG. 1, the generated light at least needs to penetrate through the N-type semiconductor layer 20 and the substrate 14 to be emitted out, the transmission path of the light is long, energy attenuation is large, improvement of light-emitting efficiency is not facilitated, and especially, for an ultraviolet light-emitting chip, ultraviolet light is high in energy and is easily absorbed by semiconductor materials, electrodes, and the like, so that the light-emitting efficiency is low, which is also the main reason for the low light-emitting efficiency of the ultraviolet light-emitting chip.

Based on this, the present disclosure seeks to provide a solution capable of solving the above technical problem, the details of which will be set forth in the following embodiments.

The embodiments provide an epitaxial layer of a light-emitting chip, the epitaxial layer including, but not limited to, a first semiconductor layer, a first active layer, a second semiconductor layer and substrate.

The first semiconductor layer, the first active layer and the second semiconductor layer are located on a first side of the substrate, namely, the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer and the second semiconductor layer are located on the same side of the substrate. Moreover, top surfaces of the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate are located on a first horizontal plane, and bottom surfaces of the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate are located on a second horizontal plane, namely, in the embodiment, the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate are disposed in a coplane manner, but not stacked in sequence from top to bottom as shown in FIG. 1. In the embodiment, the top surfaces of the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate directly serve as light-emitting surfaces, part of the generated light can be directly emitted out through the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer and the second semiconductor layer, so that an emission path of the part of light is shortened, absorption of light energy can be reduced to the maximum extent, and therefore, the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting chip can be improved, particularly suitable for improving the light-emitting efficiency of light which is high in light energy and is easily absorbed by semiconductor materials, electrodes and the like and then converted into heat energy, for example, the improvement of the light-emitting efficiency of an ultraviolet light-emitting chip.

It should be understood that in the embodiment, the materials of the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate can be flexibly set according to requirements. For example, in an application example, when the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip is an epitaxial layer of an ultraviolet light-emitting chip, the first semiconductor layer may be, but not limited to, an Al_xGa_1-xN layer, the first active layer may be, but not limited to, an Al_yGa_1-yN/Al_zGa_1-zN layer, and the second semiconductor layer may be, but not limited to, an Al_xGa_i-xN layer.

In the embodiment, in order to further shorten the light-emitting path and reduce the absorption of the semiconductor layers and the like to light energy as much as possible, in the embodiment, a height L3 between the bottom surfaces and the top surfaces of the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate is set to be greater than or equal to 0.3 micron and smaller than or equal to 15 microns, for example, may be specifically set as 0.3 micron, 0.5 micron, 1 micron, 3 microns, 5 microns, 7 microns, 9 microns, 10 microns, 13 microns, 15 microns, or the like according to requirements. Of course, L3 in the embodiment is not limited to the size of the above example, and may be equally replaced with other sizes according to application requirements. For ease of understanding, the embodiment will be described below with the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIGS. 2-4 as an example.

With reference to the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIGS. 2-4, the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip includes a first semiconductor layer 11, a first active layer 12, a second semiconductor layer 13 and a substrate 14, where the top surfaces S2 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 are located on a first horizontal plane, and the bottom surfaces S1 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 are located on a second horizontal plane, namely, the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 are disposed in a coplane manner. As shown in FIG. 3, the top surfaces S2 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 serve as light-emitting surfaces, a part of light can be directly emitted out through the top surfaces S2 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12 and the second semiconductor layer 13, as shown in FIG. 3, the light-emitting path is shorter than that of the light in FIG. 1, and less light energy is absorbed by the light in the transmission process, so that the light-emitting efficiency is higher.

As shown in FIG. 2, the height between the bottom surface Si and the top surface S2 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 is denoted by L3 in FIG. 2. The value of L3 may be set to be greater than or equal to 0.3 micron and smaller than or equal to 15 microns according to requirements, so that it can be further guaranteed that the light-emitting path is short enough, and the light-emitting efficiency is guaranteed.

In some examples of the present example, to ensure the light-emitting area, referring to FIG. 2, the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13, and the substrate 14 may be set to have the same length L2, and L2 is greater than or equal to a product of L3 and 2. For example, the value of L2 may be, but is not limited to, greater than or equal to 0.6 micron and smaller than or equal to 30 microns, and specifically may be flexibly set according to requirements. Of course, in some examples, the length L2 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 may also be set to be different or partially different according to requirements. For example, in some examples, the length L2 of the first semiconductor layer 11 may be set to be smaller than the length L2 of the second semiconductor layer 13. The lengths of other layer structures may also be flexibly changed according to requirements, and no more elaboration will be made herein.

In some examples of the present example, to ensure the light-emitting area, as shown in FIG. 2, the total width L1 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 may be set to be greater than or equal to L3. In the embodiment, the total width L1 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 is the total width in the stacking direction after the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 are stacked. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, in some examples of the embodiment, the first semiconductor layer 11 may be a P-type semiconductor layer, and the second semiconductor layer 13 may be an N-type semiconductor layer. In FIG. 4, the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12 and the second semiconductor layer 13 are disposed on the left side of the substrate 14, and the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 are stacked in sequence from left to right. Of course, in the embodiment, the specific positions of the first semiconductor layer 11 and the second semiconductor layer 13 may also be flexibly switched according to requirements, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the positions of the first semiconductor layer 11 and the second semiconductor layer 13 are switched with respect to FIG. 4.

In another example of the embodiment, in order to improve the light-emitting amount of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip, as shown in FIGS. 6-7, the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip further includes, but is not limited to, a third semiconductor layer 41, a second active layer 42 and a fourth semiconductor layer 43 which are located on a second side of the substrate 14, the top surfaces S2 of the third semiconductor layer 41, the second active layer 42 and the fourth semiconductor layer 43 are located on a first horizontal plane, and the bottom surfaces S1 of the third semiconductor layer 41, the second active layer 42 and the fourth semiconductor layer 43 are located on a second horizontal plane. The first side and the second side of the substrate 14 are two opposite sides of the substrate. For example, in FIG. 6, the first side of the substrate 14 is the left side of the substrate 14, and the second side of the substrate 14 is the right side of the substrate 14. Compared with the light-emitting amount of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIGS. 2-5, the light-emitting amount of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIGS. 6-7 can be greatly improved, so that the brightness of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip is promoted, and the high-brightness application requirement can be better met.

It is to be understood that in the embodiment, the type of the third semiconductor layer 41 may be the same as that of the first semiconductor layer 11, the type of the fourth semiconductor layer 43 may be the same as that of the second semiconductor layer 13, and the type of the second active layer 42 may be the same as that of the first active layer 12. In such a case, the semiconductor layers and the active layers which are disposed on the left side and the right side of the substrate 14 are symmetrically disposed. Of source, adjustment may be made flexibly according to requirements, for example, the type of the third semiconductor layer 41 may be set to be the same as that of the second semiconductor layer 13 according to requirements, the type of the fourth semiconductor layer 43 may be the same as that of the first semiconductor layer 11, and the type of the second active layer 42 may be the same or not the same as that of the first active layer 12. In addition, in the example, the length L4 of the substrate 14 may be appropriately set according to requirements, so that the light-emitting area is increased while the light-emitting amount is guaranteed. For example, L4 may be set to be greater than or equal to a product of L3 and 2.

Of course, in the embodiment, corresponding semiconductor layers and active layers may also be disposed on other sides of the substrate 14 according to requirements, for example, corresponding semiconductor layers and active layers may be disposed on at least one of a third side and a fourth side between the first side and the second side of the substrate 14 in an arrangement manner similar to that shown in FIG. 7, which will not be described in detail herein.

In another example of the embodiment, in order to increase the light-emitting amount of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip, epitaxial layers of at least two light-emitting chips shown in FIG. 2 may be spliced together to form a spliced epitaxial layer of a light-emitting chip with greater light-emitting amount as shown in FIG. 7. For example, an example of a spliced epitaxial layer of a light-emitting chip is shown in FIG. 8, and second sides of the substrates 14 of the two epitaxial layers of the light-emitting chip are spliced together in a bilateral symmetry manner through a connecting layer 24, thereby forming a spliced epitaxial layer of a light-emitting chip with larger light-emitting surface and larger light-emitting amount. The connecting layer 24 in the embodiment may have a light-transmitting property or also may be set to have no light-transmitting property according to requirements, and may be flexibly arranged according to application requirements. In the example, the semiconductor layers and the active layers on two sides of the two substrates are in one-to-one correspondence. Of source, with reference to the example of FIG. 7, the semiconductor layers and the active layers may also be set to be not in one-to-one correspondence.

In addition, in the embodiment, the number of the symmetrically spliced epitaxial layers of the light-emitting chip may also be flexibly set according to requirements and is not limited to two shown in FIG. 7. For example, four epitaxial layers of the light-emitting chip, six epitaxial layers of the light-emitting chip or eight epitaxial layers of the light-emitting chip may be spliced according to requirements to obtain the spliced epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip.

Therefore, in the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip provided by the embodiment, the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate included are disposed in a coplane manner and not stacked vertically. Moreover, the top surfaces of the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate serve as light-emitting surfaces, part of the generated light can be directly emitted out through the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer and the second semiconductor layer, so that an emission path of the part of light is shortened, absorption of light energy can be reduced to the maximum extent, and therefore, the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting chip can be improved, particularly suitable for improving the light-emitting efficiency of light which is high in light energy and is easily absorbed by semiconductor materials, electrodes and the like and then converted into heat energy, for example, the improvement of the light-emitting efficiency of an ultraviolet light-emitting chip. For an application scenario requiring a large light-emitting amount, corresponding semiconductor layers can be disposed on both the first side and the second side of the substrate, or at least two epitaxial layers of the light-emitting chip are spliced to obtain the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip with a larger light-emitting amount, so that the application scenario of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip is wider.

Another exemplary Embodiment

For ease of understanding, the embodiment will be described below with a method for manufacturing an epitaxial layer of a light-emitting chip as an example. In the embodiment, the manufacturing of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip includes: a first semiconductor layer, a first active layer and a second semiconductor layer are formed on a first side of a substrate; top surfaces of the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate are located on a first horizontal plane and serve as light-emitting surfaces; and bottom surfaces of the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate are located on a second horizontal plane. For example, when the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIG. 2 is manufactured, the manufacturing process is shown in FIG. 9, which includes, but is not limited to, the following operations.

At S901, a second semiconductor layer 13, a first active layer 12 and a first semiconductor layer 11 are formed on the first side of a substrate 14.

In the embodiment, the second semiconductor layer 13, the active layer 12 and the first semiconductor layer 11 may be formed on the first side of the substrate 14 in sequence by, but not limited to, precipitation.

At S902, grinding and polishing treatment is carried out on the substrate 14 so as to reduce the thickness of the substrate 14, the total width L1 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 may be adjusted according to application requirements through the adjustment of the degree of grinding and polishing so as to flexibly adjust the light-emitting area according to requirements. It should be understood that this operation is an optional operation.

For another example, when the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIGS. 6-7 is manufactured, the manufacturing process is shown in FIG. 10, which includes, but is not limited to, the following operations.

At S1002, a fourth semiconductor layer 43, a second active layer 42 and a third semiconductor layer 41 are sequentially formed on the second side of the substrate 14.

In the example, prior to performing S1002, the substrate 14 may be subjected to grinding and polishing treatment to adjust the thickness of substrate 14 according to application requirements. In some examples, S1002 may also be performed before S1001, or S1001 and S1002 may be performed in parallel.

For another example, when the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIG. 8 is manufactured, the manufacturing process is shown in FIG. 11, which includes, but is not limited to, the following operations.

At S1101, a second semiconductor layer 13, a first active layer 12 and a second semiconductor layer 11 are formed on the first side of the substrate 14.

At S1102, grinding and polishing treatment is carried out on the substrate 14 to reduce the thickness of the substrate 14, and the total width L1 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 may be adjusted according to application requirements through the adjustment of the degree of grinding and polishing.

At S1103, two manufactured epitaxial layers of the light-emitting chip are symmetrically spliced together through a connecting layer 24.

The above examples are described by taking the manufacturing process of the single epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip as an example. It should be understood that when the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip is manufactured, the epitaxial layer can also be manufactured in batches.

For example, the batch manufacturing process of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIG. 2 is shown in FIG. 12, and the batch manufacturing process includes, but is not limited to, the following operations.

At S1201, a second semiconductor layer 13, a first active layer 12 and a second semiconductor layer 11 are formed on the first side of the substrate 14.

At S1202, grinding and polishing treatment is carried out on the substrate 14 so as to reduce the thickness of the substrate 14, and the total width L1 of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 may be adjusted according to application requirements through the adjustment of the degree of grinding and polishing.

At S1203, photoetching and etching process treatment is carried out on the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12 and the second semiconductor layer 13 on the substrate 14 so as to form an epitaxial layer array on the first side of the substrate 14.

At S1204, the epitaxial array is subjected to a scribing and splitting process along the channel of the epitaxial array to obtain a plurality of single epitaxial layers of a light-emitting chip.

For batch manufacturing of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIGS. 6 to 7, a corresponding fourth semiconductor layer 43, a second active layer 42, and a third semiconductor layer 41 are also formed on the second side of the substrate 14 before S1203, which is not repeated here.

For another example, the batch manufacturing process of the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting chip shown in FIG. 8 is to shown in FIG. 13, and the batch manufacturing process includes, but is not limited to, the following operations.

At S1301, a second semiconductor layer 13, a first active layer 12 and a second semiconductor layer 11 are formed on the first side of the substrate 14.

At S1302, grinding and polishing treatment is carried out on the substrate 14 so as to reduce the thickness of the substrate 14, the total width LI of the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12, the second semiconductor layer 13 and the substrate 14 may be adjusted according to application requirements through the adjustment of the degree of grinding and polishing.

At S1303, two substrates 14 are symmetrically spliced together through a connecting layer 24.

At S1304, photoetching and etching process treatment is carried out on the first semiconductor layer 11, the first active layer 12 and the second semiconductor layer 13 on two sides of the two substrates 14 so as to form an epitaxial layer array on the first side of the substrate 14.

At S1305, the epitaxial array is subjected to a scribing and splitting process along the channel of the epitaxial array to obtain a plurality of single epitaxial layers of the light-emitting chip as shown in FIG. 8.

Therefore, the manufacturing process of the epitaxial array of the light-emitting chip provided by the embodiment is simple, efficient and low in cost. Moreover, in the manufactured epitaxial array of the light-emitting chip, the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate are disposed in a coplane manner, the top surfaces of the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer, the second semiconductor layer and the substrate directly serve as light-emitting surfaces, part of the generated light can be directly emitted out through the first semiconductor layer, the first active layer and the second semiconductor layer, so that an emission path of the part of light is shortened, absorption of light energy can be reduced to the maximum extent, and therefore, the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting chip can be improved. The method is especially suitable for manufacturing the epitaxial layer of the ultraviolet light chip.

The light-emitting chip provided by the embodiment may be a forward light-emitting chip, an inverted light-emitting chip or a vertical light-emitting chip. The light-emitting chip provided by the embodiment can be a micron-sized light-emitting chip (namely a micro light-emitting chip), for example, can include, but not limited to, a Mini LED chip and a Micro LED chip, and can also be a light-emitting chip larger than the micron-sized light-emitting chip, for example, a common-sized light-emitting chip or a large-sized light-emitting chip.
