fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a resonant cavity light emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a resonant cavity light emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the resonant cavity light emitting diode includes a substrate 1, and an N-type layer 2, an active layer 3, a P-type layer 4, a transparent conductive layer 5, and a passivation layer 6 sequentially stacked on the substrate 1, where the P-type layer 4 and the transparent conductive layer 5 are both provided with a P-type electrode 7, and the N-type layer 2 is provided with an N-type electrode 8.
An upper reflector layer 9 is arranged on the passivation layer 6, and a lower reflector layer 10 is arranged on one surface of the substrate 1 far away from the N-type layer 2.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the lower reflector layer is arranged on the surface of the substrate far away from the N-type layer, so that the requirement of high reflectivity of the lower reflector can be met by increasing the doping concentration of Al in GaN. Because the lower reflector layer is arranged on the surface of the substrate far away from the N-type layer, the epitaxial quality of the RCLED is not influenced by improving the concentration of Al.
Further, a plurality of upper triangular pits 6a are arranged on the surface of the passivation layer 6 provided with the upper mirror layer 9, and part of the upper mirror layer 9 is positioned on the side walls of the plurality of upper triangular pits 6 a.
A plurality of lower triangular pits 1a are arranged on one surface of the substrate 1 provided with the lower reflector layer 10, and part of the lower reflector layer 10 is positioned on the side walls of the lower triangular pits 6 a.
Because the existing RCLED without the triangular pit can vertically emit light after passing through the reflecting layer, and then part of reflected light can be absorbed by the active layer after passing through the active layer, so that the light emitting efficiency of the RCLED is low. Therefore, the reflective layer is arranged on the triangular pits to form a diffuse reflection structure, so that reflected light passing through the upper reflector layer and the lower reflector layer is emitted from all directions, the probability of absorption of the reflected light by the active layer is reduced, and the light emitting efficiency of the RCLED is improved. Meanwhile, the surface roughness of the substrate and the passivation layer is increased by arranging the triangular pits, and compared with a smooth planar surface, the surface provided with the triangular pits has higher adhesiveness, so that the falling-off of the upper reflecting mirror layer and the lower reflecting mirror layer can be reduced.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the width d of each triangular pit is 2.7-2.8 um, the height h is 1.6-1.8 um, and the inclination angle θ is 70-80 ℃. In this case, the RCLED has the highest light emission efficiency and the RCLED has the best light emission efficiency.
Further, the distance L between the central lines of two adjacent triangular pits is 2.9-3.1 um.
In the present embodiment, each of the upper mirror layer 9 and the lower mirror layer 10 includes a plurality of alternately stacked AlGaN layers and GaN layers, or alternately stacked InAlGaN layers and GaN layers.
In another mode of realisation of the invention, the upper mirror layer 9 and the lower mirror layer 10 each comprise a plurality of alternately stacked Ti3O5Layer and SiO2And (3) a layer. Ti3O5Will decompose into Ti simple substance more than the oxide of the rest Ti and can react with O2Fully react to form TiO2And is beneficial to the high-efficiency utilization of Ti. Wherein, Ti3O5The layer being of a high refractive index material, SiO2The layers are low index materials.
Optionally, the number of layers of the upper mirror layer 9 and the lower mirror layer 10 is equal, and each layer is 48 layers.
Optionally, the thicknesses of the upper mirror layer 9 and the lower mirror layer 10 are the same and are both 3.7-4.7 um.
Preferably, the upper mirror layer 9 and the lower mirror layer 10 are both 4.2um thick.
Optionally, the last SiO layer of the upper mirror layer 9 and the lower mirror layer 102The thickness of the layer was 5000 angstroms.
Optionally, the distance D between the upper and lower mirror layers0The following formula can be satisfied:
where k is an odd number and Σ i is λ when all values are taken for i0/niThe sum, i, taking different values to represent the different layers between the upper mirror layer 9 and the lower mirror layer 10, λ0Generating a central wavelength of light, n, for a resonant cavity light emitting diodeiThe refractive indices of the layers between the upper mirror layer 9 and the lower mirror layer 10.
It is readily appreciated that the condition for forming a resonant cavity is to form a standing wave which requires the reflected wave to cancel the outgoing wave, i.e. the reflected wave is out of phase with the reflected wave by pi. Since the wavelength/refractive index is the equivalent wavelength of light in a medium and k is an odd number, the distance between the upper mirror layer 9 and the lower mirror layer 10 is equal to 1/2 wavelength, 3/2 wavelength, 5/2 wavelength, and the like, and the condition of the resonant cavity (the phase difference of the reflected wave and the reflected wave is pi) can be satisfied.
Specifically, the N-type layer 2 is an N-type GaN layer, the active layer 3 includes InGaN layers and GaN layers alternately stacked, and the P-type layer 4 is a P-type GaN layer.
Alternatively, the substrate 1 may be a 002-plane sapphire substrate, a SiC substrate, or a Si substrate.
Alternatively, the material used for the transparent conductive layer 5 may include at least one of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), graphene, and zinc oxide (ZnO).
Preferably, the material used for the transparent conductive layer 5 may be ITO, and the most commonly used material is ITO.
Alternatively, the thickness of the passivation layer 6 may be 10nm to 500 nm.
Preferably, the thickness of the passivation layer 6 may be 80 nm.
Optionally, the material used for the passivation layer 6 may include at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, and magnesium fluoride, so as to protect the light emitting diode, avoid the problems of reverse leakage, and improve the reliability of the light emitting diode.
Preferably, the passivation layer 6 may be silicon oxide, so that the electrode is formed by opening a hole using an etching solution.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a resonant cavity light emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
Alternatively, the substrate 1 may be a 002-plane sapphire substrate.
Specifically, the N-type layer 2 is an N-type GaN layer, the active layer 3 includes InGaN layers and GaN layers alternately stacked, and the P-type layer 4 is a P-type GaN layer.
Specifically, the step 201 may include:

forming a layer of photoresist on the P-type layer 4;
exposing and developing the photoresist to form the photoresist with a set pattern;
under the protection of photoresist, a groove extending from the P-type layer 4 to the N-type layer 2 is formed on the P-type layer 4 by adopting an inductively Coupled Plasma etching (ICP) technology;
