Description

Manufacturing method of flip LED chip
Technical Field
The patent relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a manufacturing method of a flip LED chip.
Background
At present, a high-power high-brightness LED becomes the key point of the development of the LED industry, and is widely applied to indoor and outdoor illumination. Considering that the conductivity of a P-GaN layer of a traditional normally-installed sapphire substrate high-power chip is not high, a semitransparent Ni/Au conducting layer needs to be deposited on the upper surface of a P-type layer to enable current to be distributed more uniformly, a current diffusion layer can absorb a part of light to reduce light efficiency, and meanwhile, the thermal resistance of the chip is high due to the low thermal conductivity of sapphire. In order to overcome the defects, a flip chip is provided. Therefore, light rays emitted by the active region are taken out through the transparent sapphire substrate, the absorption of the current diffusion layer and the electrode to light is eliminated, and the downward part of the light rays is reflected by the reflecting layer and then is emitted upwards, so that the light efficiency is greatly improved. Meanwhile, heat is directly conducted to the substrate through the electrodes, and the heat conducting performance is good.
The semiconductor deep ultraviolet light source has great application value in the fields of illumination, sterilization, medical treatment, printing, biochemical detection, high-density information storage, secret communication and the like. The light-emitting wavelength of the deep ultraviolet LED taking the AlGaN material as the light-emitting region can cover the ultraviolet band of 210-365nm, is an ideal material for realizing the deep ultraviolet LED device product in the band, and has incomparable advantages compared with other traditional ultraviolet light sources. The biggest bottleneck of the deep ultraviolet LED is the luminous efficiency, which is mainly limited by three aspects: (1) injection efficiency, the proportion of carriers that are efficiently injected into the light emitting region; (2) internal quantum efficiency, the proportion of photons generated by recombination of electrons and holes in the light emitting region; (3) light extraction efficiency, the proportion of photons generated in the light emitting region that are available to be extracted from the chip. In the deep ultraviolet band, the efficiency of the three aspects is low. Because the transparent conductive electrode has stronger absorption to deep ultraviolet light, the deep ultraviolet LED mostly adopts a flip-chip packaging mode for emitting light from the substrate surface at present, and the interface of the substrate and air becomes one of the keys influencing the light-emitting efficiency.

The specific embodiment provides a manufacturing method of a flip LED chip. The method comprises the following steps:
step one, manufacturing a flip semiconductor LED chip
In this implementation, the flip-chip LED chip includes a substrate 201, an N-type semiconductor layer 202, a multilayer quantum well 203, and a P-type semiconductor layer 204. In general terms, in a flip-chip LED chip, light is emitted from the substrate side, as shown in fig. 1. In fact, the flip chip and the front chip are in opposite relation, and the light rays of the front LED chip are emitted from one side of the electrode.
As shown in fig. 1, in the flip-chip LED chip, the uppermost end of the chip is a substrate layer, and the substrate layer can be made of various substrate materials, such as but not limited to a silicon substrate, a sapphire substrate, a silicon carbide substrate, and the like. In this embodiment, a sapphire substrate is taken as an example to develop a corresponding technical solution to disclose the specific inventive concept of this patent.
An N-type semiconductor layer 202, a plurality of quantum wells 203 and a P-type semiconductor layer 204 are sequentially formed under the substrate, so that an N-P-P double heterostructure is formed. In this configuration, the N-type semiconductor layer 202 may be N-type GaN, and the P-type semiconductor layer 004 may be P-type GaN. The N-type semiconductor layer is connected with an N electrode 206, the P-type semiconductor layer 204 is connected with a P electrode 205, and the connection is preferably direct connection; thus, when the current is applied at N, P poles, the light of the LED chip is emitted upward from the substrate. This forms a typical flip-chip LED chip.
The flip-chip LED chip fabrication process can be implemented in various ways known in the art, including but not limited to MOCVD and the like.
Preferably, the step further comprises thinning and polishing the back surface of the substrate; the sapphire substrate is thinned to 100-200 mu m; and then coarsening the sapphire substrate. The sapphire substrate is thinned to enhance the light extraction efficiency while reducing the difficulty of chip dicing and splitting, which will be developed in detail in the following steps.
Step two, carrying out primary cutting on the substrate to form a modified region in the middle of the substrate
Stealth scribing is a process in which a laser beam of a translucent wavelength is focused within the workpiece material to form a separate starting point modification layer 207. The modified layer is to destroy the substrate structure to form a fragile structure, and the modified layer with enough area can meet the cracking condition.
In this embodiment, the second step is performed after the LED chip is formed, and then the surface of the substrate of the LED chip is relatively smooth, and preferably, the modified layer is formed after the LED chip is polished. At this time, since the upper surface of the substrate is relatively smooth, it is possible to use a laser beam of a translucent wavelength and focus the laser beam inside the workpiece material, thereby forming a modification inside the substrate. The substrate interior refers to the area below the outer surface of the substrate and above the inner surface.
Thirdly, manufacturing nano patterns on the upper surface of the substrate of the flip LED chip
In such a flip LED chip, the interface between the substrate and air becomes one of the keys affecting the light extraction efficiency. The flat light emitting surface has serious total reflection loss, so that the light emitting efficiency of the LED chip is greatly reduced; therefore, in the present embodiment, the problem of the serious reflection loss of the optical facet is overcome by fabricating a nano-pattern on the upper surface of the sapphire substrate, so as to overcome the above-mentioned influence.
The method for manufacturing the nano-scale pattern on the thinned and polished sapphire substrate comprises the following steps: spin-coating a nano-imprint resist, performing nano-imprint treatment, or spin-coating a photoresist, performing exposure through a nano-scale high-precision exposure machine, and then performing development treatment; carrying out graphical etching on the sapphire substrate after the nanoimprint treatment or the development, wherein the etching mode can be as follows: ICP dry etching, wet etching, etching using a gas such as chlorine gas, may also be performed. And removing the nano-imprint glue by using photoresist stripping liquid, acetone ultrasonic soaking and the like.
Step four, after the etching is finished, the second cutting is carried out on the upper surface of the substrate in a surface cutting mode, a groove is formed on the substrate, and the groove depth is close to the position of the modified layer
In this step, the secondary cutting may mainly be performed by laser cutting, and although the laser cutting affects the substrate with a relatively shallow depth, it still can form a trench with a certain depth on the substrate with a roughened surface.
And step five, splitting the chip by using a splitting machine to obtain the single core particles.
In the specific embodiment, the sapphire substrate is roughened, the roughened surface has a strong scattering effect on the emergent light, the random emergence of the light is increased, and the total reflection loss of the emergent light on an emergent interface is reduced through multiple reflections, so that the light extraction efficiency is increased. There are many different types of patterns to be roughened, including hemispherical, pyramidal, trapezoidal, and conical. Through verification, the hemispherical graph has the highest light emitting efficiency, but the process difficulty is extremely high, and the semi-spherical graph is conical. The conical surface can efficiently destroy the scattering of photons, thereby improving the light emitting efficiency, and meanwhile, the LED chip emitting efficiency is the highest when the inclination angle of the cone is 50 degrees through verification.
When the wafer with the roughened substrate is used for cutting a chip, due to the effects of scattering and the like of the roughened nano layer, laser points of invisible cutting by adopting a laser cutting principle cannot enter sapphire, so that the wafer cannot be cut. In view of this problem, in the present embodiment, the initial stealth cutting is performed on the polished wafer, and the initially cut wafer forms a modified layer in the middle of the sapphire substrate, and the process is as shown in fig. 7 and 8; then, patterning and etching the back surface of the wafer, as shown in FIG. 9; after the etching is finished, performing secondary cutting in a surface cutting mode, cutting into an obvious groove from the back, wherein the groove depth is close to the position of the modified layer, as shown in fig. 10; finally, the core particles are obtained by splitting with a splitter, fig. 11.
The main purpose of this is to avoid the problem that the chip can not be cut invisibly after coarsening and the surface cutting can not cut too deeply, and the deeper position of the substrate is modified during initial cutting, and then the surface cutting is carried out to the modified layer after coarsening, so that a good splitting condition can be provided to complete the cutting splitting of the chip after coarsening.
The above is only the preferred technical solution of the present patent. All the technical features of the patent are deleted, substituted or modified under the inventive concept of the present patent. It is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within the known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains.
