Description

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201210157568.5 titled “Vertical AC LED Element and Fabrication Method Thereof”, and filed with the Chinese Patent Office on May 21, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a semiconductor light-emitting element and fabrication method thereof, more particularly, to a vertical alternating current light emitting diode (AC-LED).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The LED of the solid light-emitting element, owing to such electrical and optical advantages as low energy consumption, long service life, good stability, small size, fast response and stable light-emitting wave length, is widely applied in fields like illumination, household appliance, display and indicator. Moreover, this kind of light-emitting element enjoys considerable progress in light-emitting effect and service life and therefore, is promising to become the mainstream for a new generation of lighting and light-emitting element.

For traditional LED, a transformer is required during power supply to LED since it is driven by direct current (DC) while the general power supply is alternating current (AC), which not only increases the usage cost but also impedes the application of LED that is not originally intended for energy saving, due to electric energy loss during DC-AC transformation. In contrast, the AC LED, through DC-AC transformation, is available for usage as long as the general electric supply voltage is reduced. Without a transformer, the AC LED is more competitive than the traditional illuminants for it saves cost and space.

In general, the AC-LED often retains the original growth substrate and forms a vertical AC-LED by going through a complex process either by a) horizontally leading an interconnected lateral AC LED or b) by die pasting and flip-chip bonding after a single chip is completed.

It should be noted that as long as there is no conflict, all embodiments and all features in each embodiment of this invention may be combined and the resultant technical solutions are all encompassed by this invention.

Embodiment 1

Referring to FIG. 1, a vertical AC LED element comprises a conductive substrate 102, a light-emitting module, a high reflectivity ohmic contact layer 120, a metal bonding layer 140, a first conductive structure, a second conductive structure and a back electrode 150. The conductive substrate 102, in general, is a material of good heat dissipation. The light-emitting module, comprising an LED 1 and an LED 2, is bonded on the conductive substrate 102 through the metal bonding layer. The LED 1 and LED 2 comprise an n-type semiconductor layer 111, a light-emitting layer 112 and a p-type semiconductor layer 113 from top down, which are mutually isolated from each other, wherein the LED 1 is electrically insulated from the conductive substrate 102 via the insulating layer 131 and the high reflectivity ohmic contact layer 120 is covered on the lower surfaces of the p-type semiconductor layers of LED 1 and LED 2 as well as the part of the isolating region approaching to the LED 1. A channel is arranged in the LED 1 that goes through the p-type semiconductor 113 and the light-emitting layer 112, the bottom of which is on the n-type semiconductor layer 111, and the side wall of which is covered with an insulating layer, the metal bonding layer 140 completely covers the bottom surfaces of the p-type semiconductor layers of LED 1 and LED 2 and fills the channel to constitute the first conductive structure. A channel is formed between the LED 1 and the LED 2, the side wall of which is covered with a second insulating layer 132, the middle of which is filled with a conductive material, forming a shared electrode layer 141, and two ends of which are connected to the n-type semiconductor layer of LED 2 and the high reflectivity contact layer 120 under the LED 1, respectively, thus constituting a second conductive structure.

In this element structure, through the outer surface of the patterned light-emitting epitaxial layer, an insulating layer is formed at the side of the p-type layer of LED 1 away from the light-emitting layer to control the positions of the high reflectivity ohmic contact layer 120 and the insulating layer 131. A shared electrode layer 141 is formed in the isolating region between the LED 1 and the LED 2. The front shared electrode layer electrically connects the other two ends with only one electrode bonding pad in the middle of the two regions. After then, a vertical AC LED can be formed via wafer bonding technology.

Now, detailed descriptions will be given to the above structure in combination with fabrication method. A fabrication method of the vertical AC LED element comprises the following steps:

Referring to FIG. 3, grow an n-type semiconductor layer 111, a light-emitting layer 112 and a p-type semiconductor layer 113 successively on a growth substrate 101 (e.g. sapphire) via MOCVD to form a light-emitting epitaxial layer 110.

Next, define the size of a single light-emitting module and divide the light-emitting epitaxial layer into a plurality of light-emitting modules, each comprising a forward conductive region A, a backward conductive region B and an isolating region C between the two. Define a conductive region in the backward conductive region A and etch this conductive region to the n-type semiconductor layer 110 via yellow light lithography, dry etching and other etching technologies to form at least one conductive hole 160 either in round or in rectangle (see FIG. 3 for the side sectional view).

Next, referring to FIG. 6, form a high reflectivity p-type ohmic contact layer 120 on the light-emitting epitaxial layer through yellow light lithography, electron beam evaporation and other technologies, which is composed of a first metal contact layer (one or more of elements from Pt, Ni and Pd) having good contact with the p-type semiconductor and a metal reflecting layer (Ag or Al, or specially-fabricated Ag—Al alloy of high reflectivity). The first metal contact layer should absorb the light emitted by the active layer as little as possible; this layer can be directly composed of a metal material (e.g. Ag) of high reflectivity to visible light and having good contact with the p-type semiconductor layer. Referring to FIG. 5, the upper figure is a top view of the p-type ohmic contact layer 120 not yet formed with high reflectivity, wherein the forward conductive region A and the backward conductive region B are separated by the isolating region C; the lower figure is a top view of the p-type ohmic contact layer 120 already formed with high reflectivity, wherein the high reflectivity p-type ohmic contact layer 120 covers the forward conductive region B, the backward conductive region A and the part of the isolating region that approaches to the backward conductive region A.

Next, form a first patterned insulating layer 131 on the high reflectivity p-type ohmic contact layer 120 through PECVD, yellow light lithography and chemical etching, which covers the upper surface of the high reflectivity p-type ohmic contact layer 120 at the backward conductive region side, the side wall of the conductive hole 160 and the upper surface of the p-type semiconductor layer that is not covered with the ohmic contact layer 120 in the junction of the forward and backward conductive regions (see FIG. 7 for the side sectional view). This insulating layer functions to a) electrically insulate the n-type semiconductor layer from the p-type semiconductor layer in the backward conductive region and to b) isolate the forward conductive region from the reflective p-type ohmic contact layer in the backward conductive region. This insulating material can be SiO₂, SiN_x, BCB, etc.

Next, form a metal bonding layer 140 on the surface of the light-emitting epitaxial layer processed through the above steps, which covers the whole surface including through hole of the backward conductive region, the first insulating layer and the p-type ohmic contact layer of the forward conductive region, and fills the conductive hole 160 in the backward conductive region to form a conductive column, and constitute the first conductive structure. This layer can be a plurality of combinations comprising Cr, Ti, Pt and Au.

Next, provide a conductive substrate 102 and connect the light-emitting epitaxial layer with the conductive substrate via wafer bonding technology (see FIG. 8 for the side sectional view).

Next, remove the growth substrate 101 (see FIG. 9 for the side sectional view). In this embodiment, the growth substrate is sapphire and the growth substrate can be removed by LLO.

Next, form a channel 170 on the light-emitting epitaxial layer through yellow light lithography, dry etching or other processes to isolate the light-emitting epitaxial layers of the forward conductive region and the backward conductive region, thus forming the first LED 1 and the second LED 2, wherein the first LED corresponds to the backward conductive region and the second LED corresponds to the forward conductive region (see FIG. 10 for the side sectional view).

Next, form a second insulating layer 132 (see FIG. 11 for the side sectional view) on the side wall of the channel 170. The specific process is as follows: forming an insulating material via PECVD or spin coating and fabricating the second insulating layer 110 via the combination of yellow light lithography, dry etching and wet etching. This insulating layer should be composed of a transparent insulating material with relatively good gap filling performance, e.g., one or more combinations of SOG, SiN_x and BCB.

Next, fabricate the second conductive structure. Fabricate a shared electrode layer 111 on the channel 170 via vacuum electron beam, yellow light lithography and metal glass technology, two ends of which are connected to the p-type semiconductor layer of LED 1 and the n-type semiconductor layer of LED 2, respectively, to constitute the second conductive structure. This shared electrode layer should be able to form good electric contact with the n-type semiconductor layer and the reflective p-type ohmic contact layer. This layer can comprise a plurality of combinations from Cr, Ti, Pt and Au and the thickness is available for later encapsulation, welding and leading. Thinner the conductive substrate 102 via substrate thinning technology and evaporate the back electrode 150 to form a vertical AC LED. To achieve better light emitting effect, roughen the n-type semiconductor surface. See FIG. 12 for the side sectional view of the completed element.

In this fabrication method, a vertical AC LED element is formed simply by setting the patterned p-type ohmic contact layer 120 and the insulating layer 131, arranging a conductive through hole in the LED 1 and injecting the conductive metal into the through hole during wafer bonding.

Embodiment 2

Referring to FIG. 2, a vertical AC LED element comprises a conductive substrate 202, a light-emitting module, a high reflectivity ohmic contact layer 220, a metal bonding layer 240, insulating layers 231 and 232, a first conductive structure, a second conductive structure and a back electrode 250. The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is the position of the insulating layer. In Embodiment 1, the insulating layer is between the metal bonding layer and the p-type semiconductor layer of LED 1. Through the patterned epitaxial layer, the insulating layer is formed on the p-type semiconductor layer of LED 1. However, in this embodiment, the insulating layer is between the metal bonding layer and the conductive substrate. The patterned conductive substrate divides the surface of the insulating layer into two regions, wherein the first region is an insulating region, the surface of which is an insulating material and the second region is a conductive region, the metal bonding layers 241 and 242 completely cover the conductive region and the central region of the insulating region, thus impeding the p-type semiconductor of LED 1 from connecting to the conductive substrate 202. The metal bonding layer 241 forms in the conductive region and the metal bonding layer 242 forms in the insulating region, and the two are not mutually connected. The conductive column 240 and the metal bonding layer 241 constitute the first conductive structure and connect the n-type semiconductor layer of LED 1, the conductive substrate 202 and the p-type semiconductor of LED 2; the shared electrode layer 243 and the metal bonding layer 242 constitute the second conductive structure and connect the p-type semiconductor layer of LED 1 and the n-type semiconductor layer of LED 2 to form a vertical AC LED.

Now, detailed descriptions will be given to the above structure in combination with fabrication method. A fabrication method of the vertical AC LED element comprises the following steps:

Firstly, referring to FIG. 13, grow an n-type semiconductor layer 211, a light-emitting layer 212 and a p-type semiconductor layer 213 successively on a growth substrate 101 (e.g. sapphire) via MOCVD to form a light-emitting epitaxial layer 210.

Next, define the size of a single light-emitting module and divide the light-emitting epitaxial layer into a plurality of light-emitting modules, each comprising a forward conductive region A, a backward conductive region B and an isolating region C between the two. Define a conductive region in the backward conductive region A and punch the light-emitting epitaxial layer in the isolating region C and the p-type semiconductor layer and the light-emitting layer in the conductive region via ICP dry etching. Referring to FIG. 14, expose an n-type semiconductor layer in the conductive region; expose the growth substrate in the isolating region C. The light-emitting epitaxial layer is divided into two LEDs, wherein the LED 1 corresponds to the backward conductive region and the LED 2 corresponds to the forward conductive region.

Next, form a high reflectivity p-type ohmic contact layer 220 on the p-type semiconductor layer by means of electron beam evaporation. Deposit through evaporation a conductive column 240 on the n-type semiconductor layer punched by ICP having the same thickness as the high reflectivity p-type ohmic conductor layer 220. See FIG. 15 for the side sectional view.

Next, referring to FIG. 16, fill the isolating region with the filling material 231 to a height parallel to the high reflectivity p-type ohmic contact layer 220.

Next, provide a conductive substrate 202, the surface of which is divided into two regions, wherein the first region is an insulating region, the surface of which is the insulating material 232 and the second region is a conductive region. This patterned conductive substrate can be obtained through the following processes. Deposit an insulating material on the conductive substrate 202 via PECVD and fabricate the insulating layer protection light resistance via yellow light technology. Remove the insulating material in the conductive region through wet etching. Form a first substrate metal bonding layer 241 on the exposed substrate through electron beam evaporation coating and deposit a second substrate metal bonding layer 242 on the insulating material 232. See FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 for the side sectional view and top view of the conductive substrate, respectively.

Next, bond the light-emitting epitaxial layer with the conductive substrate 202 via the wafer bonding process to form electric connection, wherein, the LED 1 is in the insulating region of the conductive substrate 202 and the p-type semiconductor layer is electrically insulated from the conductive substrate; the LED 2 is in the conductive region of the conductive substrate and an ohmic contact is formed between the p-type semiconductor layer and the conductive substrate; and the conductive column 240 is connected to the first substrate metal bonding layer 241, thereby connecting the n-type semiconductor layer of LED 1, the p-type semiconductor layer of LED 2 and the conductive substrate. See FIG. 19 for the side sectional view.

Next, remove the growth substrate 201. In this embodiment, the growth substrate is sapphire and the growth substrate can be removed by LLO.

Next, form a second conductive structure according to the following processes. Fill the filling material 231 in the isolating region to the metal bonding layer 242 on the substrate insulating part via ICP dry or wet etching. Form a shared electrode layer 243 via electron beam evaporation. Thinner the conductive substrate 202 via substrate thinning technology and evaporate the back electrode 250 to form a vertical AC LED. To achieve a better light emitting effect, roughen the n-type semiconductor surface. See FIG. 20 for the side sectional view of the completed element.
