Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a flip-chip light emitting diode and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light by using energy released during carrier recombination, and particularly, a flip-chip LED chip thereof has been widely used due to advantages of low energy consumption, long service life, energy saving, environmental protection, and the like. Small-sized LEDs have been of particular interest in recent two years as a new technology with a wide market prospect, where Micro-LEDs without transparent substrate support are currently difficult to commercialize on a large scale in a short time due to uncertain technical routes and high costs, while Mini-LEDs with transparent substrate support have begun to be applied in LCD backlights and small-pitch RGB display products.
With the continuous improvement of the pixel requirements of the display screen, the pixel pitch is required to be smaller, the size of the flip LED chip and the packaging device thereof is smaller, and the difficulty and challenge in the manufacturing process are increased. Fig. 31 shows a conventional small-sized flip LED chip, which includes a transparent substrate 110, a light-emitting epitaxial stack on the lower surface of the transparent substrate 110, an insulating layer 130 covering the surface and sidewalls of the light-emitting epitaxial stack, and first and second electrodes 141 and 142. The light emitting epitaxial stack generally includes a first conductive type semiconductor layer 121, an active layer 122, and a second conductive type semiconductor layer 123, and further, a current spreading layer 150 may be formed on a surface of the second conductive type semiconductor layer 123. In the led structure, the limited electrode area is a difficult problem in the die bonding process. The flip-chip LED chip has a small electrode area due to the inward shrinkage of metal electrodes (Bonding pads), especially for Mini-LEDs, the size of the Mini-LEDs with the current yield has reached 3mil × 5mil, and the size will be further reduced in the future, and the gap between the electrodes is usually required to be 15-50 μm, so the size of the electrodes is limited, which is not enough to cover the area of solder paste brushing during the die Bonding, and the solder paste 160 is likely to overflow to the side surface of the chip or between P, N electrodes during the die Bonding process, as shown in fig. 32, resulting in short circuit. Further, the limited solder paste contact area generally results in a low thrust force, which causes problems such as poor heat dissipation and poor high temperature and high humidity characteristics.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention.
Example one
The present embodiment discloses a flip-chip LED chip, which includes the following stacked layers as shown in fig. 1 (a): a transparent substrate 210, a light emitting epitaxial stack, an insulating layer 230, a first electrode 241 and a second electrode 242. The LED chip may be a small-sized LED chip having a small horizontal area, for example, may have a size of about 62500 μm2The horizontal cross-sectional area of which is about 900 μm2Above and about 62500 μm2The horizontal cross-sectional area below. For example, the LED chip may have a size of 230 μm × 120 μm or 120 μm × 80 μm or 100 μm × 60 μm or 50 μm × 40 μm. However, the horizontal and vertical lengths of the LE chip of the embodiment are not limited to the above.
The details of each structural stack are described below.
As shown in fig. 1(a), the transparent substrate 210 may be a growth substrate for light emitting epitaxial stack growth, such as a sapphire substrate, or may be a transparent substrate 210 bonded to a light emitting epitaxial stack through a transparent adhesive layer. The transparent substrate 210 includes a first surface 210A, a second surface 210B and a sidewall 210C, wherein the first surface and the second surface are opposite, and the transparent substrate 210 preferably includes a plurality of protrusions formed at least at a partial region of the first surface. For example, the transparent substrate 210 may be a patterned sapphire substrate.
The light emitting diode may be a small light emitting diode having a small horizontal area, and the size of the light emitting diode may be reflected by the size of the first surface of the transparent substrate, for example, the side length of the first surface of the transparent substrate 210 is preferably less than or equal to 300 μm, preferably, between 10 μm and 300 μm, or 100 μm and 200 μm, or less than 100 μm, preferably, between 40 μm and 100 μm. The thickness of the transparent substrate 210 is between 30 μm and 150 μm, and the thickness is between 80 μm and 150 μm in the case of being thicker, and between 30 μm and 80 μm in the case of being thinner. The thickness of the light-emitting epitaxial lamination layer is between 1 and 10 mu m. The light emitting diode of the present embodiment has the above-described size and thickness, and thus the light emitting diode can be easily applied to various electronic devices requiring a small and/or thin type light emitting device.
The first surface portion of the transparent substrate 210 is covered by the light emitting epitaxial stack, so the first surface of the transparent substrate 210 is divided into a first region 210a1 covered internally by the light emitting epitaxial stack and a second region 210a2 surrounding the light emitting epitaxial stack. The light emitting diode reserves a cutting channel with a certain width for a cutting process such as laser stealth cutting and splitting in the manufacturing process, the cutting channel is processed by the cutting process to form a second area 210A2 of the first surface of the transparent substrate 210 around the light emitting epitaxial lamination, and the width of the cutting channel is preferably 10-50 micrometers.
The second surface 210B of the transparent substrate 210 is a light emitting surface of the led and is a main light emitting area.
The second region 210a2 of the first surface of the transparent substrate 210 is not covered by the light emitting epitaxial stack, that is, in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor light emitting device, the light emitting epitaxial stack is singulated on the substrate surface before the substrate is cut, and the second region 210a2 of the first surface of the transparent substrate 210 is exposed, so that the stress generated on the substrate by the light emitting epitaxial stack can be reduced, the bending reduction of the light emitting diode in the manufacturing process can be promoted, the light emitting epitaxial stack is prevented from being damaged, and the manufacturing yield is improved.
As shown in fig. 1(b), the first area covered by the light emitting epitaxial stack is smaller than the horizontal area of the first surface of the transparent substrate 210, as viewed from the top of the second conductive type semiconductor layer. Preferably, the horizontal cross-sectional area of the first region 210a1 of the first surface of the transparent substrate 210 occupies 40% to 90% of the horizontal cross-sectional area of the first surface of the transparent substrate. As dimensions become smaller, the area fraction of the light emitting epitaxial stack also becomes correspondingly smaller. For example when sending hairThe horizontal area of the photodiode, i.e., the area of the first surface of the substrate 210, was 28000 μm2The coverage area ratio of the light-emitting epitaxial stack is about 86%, and the area ratio of the second region 210a2 of the first surface of the substrate around the light-emitting epitaxial stack is 14%. The light emitting epitaxial stack includes the first conductive type semiconductor layer 221, the active layer 222, and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223, and a specific light emitting epitaxial stack may include a iii-v type nitride based semiconductor, for example, a nitride based semiconductor such As (Al, Ga, In) N or a phosphide based semiconductor including (Al, Ga, In) P or an arsenide based semiconductor including (Al, Ga, In) As. The first conductive type semiconductor layer 221 may include n-type impurities (e.g., Si, Ge, Sn) and the second conductive type semiconductor layer may include p-type impurities (e.g., Mg, Sr, Ba). Also, the above impurity types may be reversed. The active layer may include a multiple quantum well structure (MQW) and the elemental composition ratio of the semiconductor may be adjusted to emit a desired wavelength. In the present embodiment, the second conductive type semiconductor layer may be a p-type semiconductor layer.
The surface of the light-emitting epitaxial lamination layer is provided with at least one first electrode step and/or first electrode through hole which exposes part of the first conductivity type semiconductor layer. In the present embodiment, preferably using the electrode via structure, the light emitting epitaxial stack may include at least one hole 270 penetrating at least partially the active layer 222 and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223 to expose the first conductive type semiconductor layer 221. The hole 270 partially exposes the first conductive type semiconductor layer 221, and the side surface of the hole 270 may be surrounded by the active layer 222 and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223.
For electrical connection between the second electrode 242 and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223, a contact electrode 250 may be disposed on the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223. The contact electrode 250 may be in ohmic contact with the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223. The contact electrode 250 may include a transparent conductive layer. The transparent conductive layer may further include at least one of a light-transmitting conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide, zinc indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, zinc tin oxide, gallium indium tin oxide, indium gallium oxide, zinc gallium oxide, aluminum-doped zinc oxide, fluorine-doped tin oxide, or the like, and a light-transmitting metal layer such as Ni/Au, or the like, for example. The conductive oxide may also include various dopants. Preferably, the thickness of the contact electrode 250 is 50 to 300 nm. The surface contact resistance of the contact electrode 250 with the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223 is preferably lower than the surface contact resistance of the metal electrode with the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223, so that the forward voltage can be reduced and the light emitting efficiency can be improved.
An insulating layer 230 covers the top surface 220B and sidewalls of the light emitting epitaxial stack and the second region 210a2 of the first surface of the transparent substrate 210. Specifically, when the contact electrode 250 is present, the contact electrode 250 and the top surface and sidewalls of the light emitting epitaxial stack not covered by the contact electrode 250 are both covered by the insulating layer 230. And the insulating layer 230 may further at least partially or completely cover the second region 210B exposed on the first surface of the transparent substrate, which may ensure that it covers the sidewall of the light emitting epitaxial stack more stably, and simultaneously prevent moisture from entering the periphery of the light emitting epitaxial stack, thereby reducing the risk of electrical leakage.
Preferably, the insulating layer 230 is an insulating reflective layer covering the top surface and the sidewalls of the light emitting epitaxial stack, and when light radiated by the light emitting layer reaches the surface of the insulating layer 230 through the contact electrode 250, most of the light may be reflected back into the light emitting epitaxial stack by the insulating layer 230 and most of the light is extracted through the second surface side of the transparent substrate, reducing light loss caused by light exiting from the light emitting epitaxial stack surface and the sidewalls. Preferably, the insulating layer 230 is capable of reflecting at least 80% or further at least 90% of the intensity of light radiated by the light-emitting layer reaching the surface thereof. The insulating layer 230 may specifically include a bragg reflector. The bragg reflector may be formed in such a manner that at least two insulating media having different refractive indexes are repeatedly stacked, and may be formed in 4 to 20 pairs, for example, the insulating layer may include TiO2、SiO2、HfO2、ZrO2、Nb2O5、MgF2And the like. In some embodiments, the insulating layer 230 may be deposited with TiO alternately2layer/SiO2And (3) a layer.
Each layer of the bragg reflector may have an optical thickness of 1/4 a peak wavelength of a radiation band of the light emitting layer. The uppermost layer of the bragg reflector may be formed of SiNx. The layer formed of SiNx is excellent in moisture resistance, and can protect the light emitting diode from moisture.
In the case where the insulating layer 230 includes a bragg reflector, the lowermost layer of the insulating layer 230 may have a bottom layer or an interface layer that improves the film quality of the distributed bragg reflector. For example, the insulating layer 230 may comprise SiO with a thickness of about 0.2-1.0 μm2Forming an interface layer and stacking a TiO layer on the interface layer at a specific period2/SiO2。
The insulating layer 230 may also be a single insulating layer only, preferably having a reflectivity generally lower than that of the bragg reflector, at least 40% of the light exiting the insulating layer 230, preferably at least 1 μm or more preferably a thickness of 2 μm or more, such as SiO2The LED has excellent moisture resistance and can protect the LED from moisture.
The insulating layer 230 has at least one first opening 271 and one second opening 272, and the first electrode 241 and the second electrode 108 are formed on the surface of the insulating layer 230. The first electrode 241 is electrically connected to the first electrode contact region of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 221 through the first opening 271, and the second electrode 242 is electrically connected to the contact electrode 250 on the surface of the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223 through the second opening 272. The contact electrode 250 may also have one or more openings, and the second electrode 242 may be in contact with the surface of the second conductive type semiconductor layer partially through the one or more openings of the contact electrode 250. Preferably, the resistance between the second electrode 242 and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223 is higher than the resistance between the contact electrode 250 and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223 to minimize current crowding directly at a position where the second electrode contacts the second conductive type semiconductor layer.
Referring to fig. 1(a) and (B), at least one of the first and second electrodes 242 includes a planar electrode 241A (or 242A) on the upper surface of the light-emitting epitaxial stack and a sidewall electrode 241B (or 242B) covering the side surface of the light-emitting epitaxial stack, wherein the sidewall electrode contacts the second region 210a2 on the first surface of the substrate 210. In some embodiments, the first and second electrodes 241 and 242 may have upper surface distributions corresponding to surface distributions of lower surfaces of portions forming the first and second electrodes 241 and 242, respectively. Thus, the first electrode 241 may include a recess (not shown) on the first opening 271, and the second electrode 242 may include a recess (not shown) on the second opening 272, so that the contact area between the first electrode 241 and the second electrode 242 is increased, and a step is generated at the contact portion to prevent the first electrode 241 and the second electrode 242 from being peeled off.
The first electrode 241 and/or the second electrode 242 extend towards the side wall of the LED chip and contact a part of the first surface of the substrate of the LED chip, a side wall electrode is formed in the cutting path area, the surface area of the electrode of the LED chip can be enlarged, for example, the surface area of the electrode of the LED chip can be 3mil multiplied by 5mil, the conventional electrode can be 30 multiplied by 50 mu m, the electrode coverage of the side wall of the cutting path is increased, the width of the cutting path covered by the electrode can be about 6 mu m, and the surface area of a single electrode can be increased by 660 mu m2(50X 6+ 30X 6X 2) to cover the solder paste area enough during packaging, thereby preventing the solder paste from overflowing to the side of the chip or causing electrical short circuit between electrodes during die bonding. In a preferred embodiment, the first electrode and the second electrode cover the sidewalls of the light emitting epitaxial stack except for the electrode isolation region and partially cover the scribe line region of the first surface of the substrate 210. For the small-sized LED chip shown in fig. 1, for example, in a flip chip with a size of 230 μm × 120 μm, or 120 μm × 80 μm, or 100 μm × 60 μm, or 50 μm × 40 μm, the area occupied by the light-emitting epitaxial stack is relatively small, and the second area of the first surface of the substrate 210 around the light-emitting epitaxial stack is relatively large, so that the size of the electrode formed on the upper surface 220B of the light-emitting epitaxial stack is small, and the surface area of the electrode can reach 90% to 120% of the area of the first surface of the substrate 210 by extending the electrode to the exposed upper surface of the substrate 210, which is beneficial for improving the die bonding yield in subsequent packaging.
Preferably, the sidewall electrode 241B (or 242B) and the planar electrode 241A (or 242A) have the same material layer, and may be a single-layer or multi-layer structure, and the sidewall electrode and the planar electrode may be formed in the same process, so that the integrity of the sidewall electrode and the planar electrode may be maintained, and the sidewall electrode and the planar electrode are prevented from being disconnected or even peeled off.
The thickness of the sidewall electrode 241B (or 242B) may be 1 to 10 μm, preferably 3 to 8 μm, for example, 6 μm. The sidewall electrode having such a thickness range is advantageous for bonding with a bonding material (for example, solder such as solder paste) of the package substrate, and good connection is formed.
In the embodiment, at least one of the first electrode 217 and the second electrode 272 covers the top surface and the side wall of the light-emitting epitaxial lamination layer at the same time, and covers the ISO cutting channel except the electrode isolation region, so that the surface area of the electrode is increased, and when eutectic connection is performed with the packaging substrate, due to the shrinkage force of metal materials such as Au and Ni on the solder paste, the eutectic die bonding solder paste has the function of converging and solidifying the solder paste, and short circuit caused by solder paste overflow is reduced; further, the electrode covers the insulating layer 230 on the sidewall of the light emitting epitaxial stack, increasing the pulling capability of the sidewall structure and solder paste stress, and protecting the insulating layer 230 from cracking.
Fig. 2 shows a light emitting device using the led chip shown in fig. 1, which includes a carrier substrate 260, the led chip located on the substrate 260, a first bonding portion 261, and a second bonding portion 262. The carrier substrate 260 may provide a region where the LED chip is mounted, and may be a substrate of a light emitting diode package or a substrate of a light emitting module, for example. The carrier substrate 260 has a first conductive pattern 263 and a second conductive pattern 264 on a surface thereof. The carrier substrate 260 may include a conductive substrate, an insulating substrate, or a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The LED chip is located on the carrier substrate 260 and electrically connected to the carrier substrate 260. The first and second bonding portions 261 and 262 are located between the LED chip and the carrier substrate 260 to bond the LED chip to the carrier substrate 260 and are electrically connected to each other. The first bonding part 261 may be in contact with the first electrode 241 of the LED chip and in contact with the first conductive pattern 263 of the carrier substrate 260, and the second bonding part 262 may be in contact with the second electrode 242 of the LED chip and in contact with the second conductive pattern 264 of the carrier substrate 260. The first bonding portion 261 and the second bonding portion 262 are not limited as long as they are substances that electrically connect the LED chip and the second bonding portion 263 of the carrier substrate and bond them to each other, and may include, for example, solder. At least one of the first and second bonding portions 261 and 262 is simultaneously in contact with the planar electrode 241A (or 242A) and the sidewall electrode 241B (or 242B) of the LED chip.
In this embodiment, the first bonding portion 261 and the second bonding portion 262 cover at least a portion of the side electrode 241B (or 242B) covering the side surface of the light emitting epitaxial stack in addition to the planar electrodes 241A and 242A, so as to increase the electrode contact area between the bonding portion and the LED chip, have a function of converging die bonding solder paste, and reduce short circuit caused by solder paste overflow. Furthermore, the side surface of the LED chip is used as one of the bonding surfaces between the LED chip and the carrier substrate 260, and the distance D2 between the first bonding portion 261 and the second bonding portion 263 can be increased to be larger than the distance D1 between the first electrode and the second electrode, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit between the first bonding portion and the second bonding portion. Further, the sidewall electrode is arranged between the insulating layer and the joint part of the sidewall of the light-emitting epitaxial stack, so that the sidewall structure and the pulling capacity of solder stress are increased, the insulating layer 230 is protected from being cracked, and the first joint part 261 and the second joint part 262 are prevented from being electrically short-circuited with the side surface of the light-emitting epitaxial stack due to the cracking of the insulating layer.
Example two
Fig. 3 and 4 show another flip-chip LED chip implemented in accordance with the present invention. Unlike the first embodiment, the outer periphery of the first surface 210A of the transparent substrate 210 has a step 211, the step 211 has a third surface 210D between the first surface 210A and the second surface 210B, and a sidewall 210E connecting the first surface and the third surface, and the first electrode 241A and/or the second electrode 242 extends to the step 211 to at least partially cover the sidewall 210E connecting the first surface and the third surface 210D. The distance from the third surface 210D to the first surface 210A is preferably 10-40 μm, such as 20-30 μm, and the distance from the third surface to the second surface is preferably 10-60 μm, such as 30-50 μm. By providing the step 211 at the outer periphery of the transparent substrate 210 and extending the first electrode and/or the second electrode to the step 211, the LED core can be further increasedSurface area of the sheet electrode. About 62500 μm for horizontal cross-sectional area2The following small-sized LED chip, particularly with a horizontal cross-sectional area of 22500 μm2For example, in the case of a 120 μm × 80 μm or 100 μm × 60 μm or 50 μm × 40 μm LED chip, the width W1 of the step 211 is preferably 5 to 20 μm, and when the width of the step is less than 5 μm, there is a possibility that there is not enough contact area for receiving the electrode located on the sidewall of the LED chip, and when the width of the step exceeds 20 μm, it is disadvantageous to reduce the size of the LED chip.
The LED chip coats the electrode on part of the side wall 210E of the transparent substrate, and can reflect light rays emitted to the side wall 210E of the transparent substrate by the active layer, so that the luminous efficiency is improved. Furthermore, the light-emitting angle of the LED chip can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the third surface of the step, for example, when small-angle light emission is required, the distance from the third surface to the second surface can be reduced as much as possible, so that most of the side wall of the transparent substrate is coated by the electrode, and the light emission from the side wall of the LED chip is reduced. In a preferred embodiment, the first electrode and the second electrode simultaneously cover the sidewalls of the steps except for the electrode isolation region and contact the third surface, as shown in fig. 4.
The insulating layer 230 covers at least the top surface 220B and sidewalls of the light emitting epitaxial stack and the exposed area of the first surface of the transparent substrate 210. And the insulating layer 230 can further at least partially or completely cover the sidewall 210E of the step of the transparent substrate, which can ensure that it can more stably cover the sidewall of the light-emitting epitaxial stack, and simultaneously prevent water vapor from entering the periphery of the light-emitting epitaxial stack, thereby reducing the risk of electric leakage.
The following describes the manufacturing process of the LED chip of this embodiment in detail.
As shown in fig. 5, a light emitting epitaxial stack including a first conductive type semiconductor layer 221, an active layer 222, and a second conductive type semiconductor layer 223 sequentially stacked is formed on the first surface 210A of the transparent substrate 210.
As shown in fig. 6, a scribe line and an electrode region are defined on the light emitting epitaxial stack according to the size of the LED chip, the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223 and the active layer 222 of the electrode region are etched through one or more masks to form a hole 270, the hole 270 exposes a portion of the surface 221A of the first conductive type semiconductor layer, the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223, the active layer 222 and the first conductive type semiconductor layer 221 of the scribe line region are etched to form a trench 280, the bottom of the trench 280 penetrates into the transparent substrate 210, a sidewall 210E is formed in the transparent substrate, that is, the bottom surface 210C of the trench 280 is located between the first surface 210A and the second surface 210B of the transparent substrate, and the depth of the trench 280 penetrating into the transparent substrate is determined by the position of the third surface 210D of the mesa 211 of the light emitting diode chip shown in fig. 3. In a specific embodiment, the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223 and the active layer 222 in the electrode region may be removed by dry etching to form the hole 270, and then the channel 280 may be formed by laser etching the light emitting epitaxial stack of the scribe line.
As shown in fig. 7, the plating insulating layer 230 covers the surface and the sidewall of the light emitting epitaxial stack and the exposed region of the first surface of the transparent substrate 210. Further, the insulating layer 230 may also partially cover the sidewall 210E of the trench. In the conventional coating process, such as evaporation or sputtering, the thickness of the insulating layer 230 on the sidewall of the light-emitting epitaxial stack is generally lower than the thickness of the top surface of the light-emitting epitaxial stack and the second region of the first surface of the transparent substrate due to the shadow effect, so that the thickness on the sidewall of the light-emitting epitaxial stack is 40-90% of the thickness of the top surface of the semiconductor sequence. In one embodiment, the contact electrode 250 is formed on the surface of the second conductive type semiconductor layer 223, and the material may be ITO, GTO, GZO, ZnO, or a combination of several materials, and then the insulating layer 230 is formed.
The insulating layer 230 forms a first opening 271 in the first electrode electrical connection region of the first conductive type semiconductor layer 221, and forms a second opening 272 in the surface of the contact electrode 250.
As shown in fig. 8, the first electrode and the second electrode are formed by photolithography and evaporation processes, and the electrodes cover the sidewalls of the light emitting epitaxial stack and the sidewalls 210E of the channel and contact the bottom surface 210D of the channel 280. The minimum horizontal pitch of the first and second electrodes 241 and 242 on the insulating layer 230 is preferably 5 μm, and the material may be a combination of metals such as Cr, Pt, Au, Ti, Ni, Al, and the like. Preferably, the electrode is a multilayer structure, and the surface layer of the electrode is preferably made of Au material. The electrode layer on the upper surface of the light-emitting epitaxial lamination and the electrode layer on the side wall are formed in the same step and contact with the bottom of the communication layer, so that the integrity of the electrode is ensured, and the side wall electrode is prevented from falling off or breaking.
As shown in fig. 9, thinning is performed from the second surface 210B of the transparent substrate 210 using a grinding apparatus according to the thickness requirement of the chip. Preferably, the thickness of the substrate may be 150 μm or less. For small-sized LED chips, the thickness is preferably less than 100 μm, for example, 40 to 80 μm.
As shown in fig. 10, the transparent substrate 210 is singulated to form individual led chips. In one embodiment, the transparent substrate is a sapphire substrate, the laser beam scans the scribe line to form a plurality of modified explosion points in the transparent substrate below the scribe line, and the cleaving blade cleaves the transparent substrate 210 along the scribe line to form the individual led chip as shown in fig. 3.
In the embodiment, the trench is formed deep into the transparent substrate 210 at the scribe line, and the electrode is formed on the sidewall of the trench, so that on one hand, the surface area of the electrode can be increased, and on the other hand, in the subsequent grinding and thinning process, the communication is favorable for releasing the stress, and especially for a thinner LED chip, for example, an LED chip with a thickness of 80 μm or less, the warpage generated in the grinding process of the transparent substrate 210 can be effectively reduced.
EXAMPLE III
In the LED chip supported by the transparent substrate, after the transparent substrate is thinned, the LED chip is usually cut in a manner of stealth cutting combined with cleaving. For a particle having a diameter of about 62500 μm2For example, the LED chip may have a size of 230 μm × 120 μm, or 120 μm × 80 μm, or 100 μm × 60 μm, or 50 μm × 40 μm, when the size of the chip is smaller, the size of the cutting track reserved at the periphery of the light emitting epitaxial stack is limited, and the problem of cutting edge distortion and even edge chipping often occurs during the cleaving process. FIG. 11 shows a pattern 31 formed by stealth-cutting, cleavingA pictorial photograph of the LED chip shown. The off-white portion 110a1 of each LED chip is the surface of the transparent substrate exposed at the periphery of the light-emitting mesa 120 in the LED chip, a cutting street with a certain width is reserved in the area for a cutting process such as laser stealth cutting and splitting, the cutting street is processed by the cutting process to form a cutting street area of the transparent substrate around the light-emitting mesa, each LED chip has four cutting edges 110B1, as can be seen from the figure, the edges of most LED chips are distorted, so that the LED chips have irregular shapes, and fig. 12 shows a physical photograph diagram in which the LED chips 100 shown in fig. 11 are arranged on the substrate. It can be seen from the figure that the LED chip back surface (the back surface of the transparent substrate) is irregular in shape.
