Description
Technical Field

Background
Micro LEDs are also called micro light emitting diodes, and refer to high-density integrated LED arrays, wherein the distance between LED pixels in the array is 10 microns, and each LED pixel can emit light. Thanks to the new generation of display technology, namely micro LED technology, namely LED miniaturization and matrixing technology. The LED display screen is characterized in that an integrated high-density micro-sized LED array on one chip, such as an LED display screen, each pixel of the LED display screen can be addressed and is driven to be lighted independently, and the LED display screen can be regarded as a miniature version of an outdoor LED display screen, so that the pixel point distance is reduced from millimeter level to micrometer level. The technology miniaturizes the traditional inorganic LED array, and each LED pixel point with the size of 10 microns can be independently positioned and lightened. That is, the size of the otherwise small pitch LED may be further reduced to the order of 10 microns. The display mode of the Micro-LEDs is quite direct, and the 10-micrometer-scale LED chips are connected to the TFT driving substrate, so that the precise control of the light emitting brightness of each chip is realized, and further the image display is realized.
Micro leds possess superior performance, but there is still a breakthrough in the technical area, one of the key technologies being the peeling of the substrate. Since GaN and sapphire have low lattice matching degree and low price, the sapphire substrate becomes the main substrate for epitaxial growth of GaN materials.

The existing substrate stripping is usually carried out by adopting an ultraviolet laser mode, and the principle of ultraviolet laser stripping is as follows: the laser wavelength is smaller than the forbidden bandwidth of GaN and larger than the forbidden bandwidth of the sapphire substrate, so that the laser can penetrate the sapphire substrate to irradiate the GaN, the GaN absorbs the laser energy, the temperature instantaneously reaches more than 1000 ℃, and the GaN at the interface is decomposed into Ga simple substance and N 2 . Thereby realizing the peeling of the sapphire substrateIs effective in (1). In principle, the principle of stripping the ultraviolet laser substrate is thermal decomposition, and the thermal decomposition has the conditions of uneven energy, different heat conduction rates and the like, and microcracks or microdefects are easily caused at stripping positions; and the common GaN epitaxial layer grows on the patterned sapphire substrate, the surface of the patterned sapphire substrate can cause height difference, and laser focal plane deviation can be caused when laser stripping. Both of which can result in reduced yield of the micro led finished product.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in the substrate stripping method of embodiment 1 of the present invention, a substrate 101 is stripped from a plurality of chips 301 grown on the substrate 101, and the plurality of chips 301 are uniformly arranged on the substrate 101 at intervals, and it can be understood that a spacing distance exists between the plurality of chips 301, and the spacing distance between every two chips 301 is the same by the uniform arrangement manner, so as to facilitate subsequent production and processing.
An AlN buffer layer 201 is arranged between the substrate 101 and the chip 301, and aluminum nitride (AlN) is an ultra-wide band gap semiconductor material with great application potential and market prospect, and has many excellent properties, such as a band gap of up to 6.2eV (direct band gap), high thermal conductivity (320W/m), high hardness (1200 kg/cm) 2 ) High chemical and thermal stability, high breakdown electric field (1.2 mV/cm-1.4 mV/cm), small dielectric coefficient, small lattice mismatch with GaN, etc. In general, the AlN buffer layer 201 is provided during the preparation of the LED, and is a substrate for assisting high-quality epitaxial growth.
Preferably, the thickness of the AlN buffer layer 201 is 800-5000 angstroms, by limiting the thickness of the AlN buffer layer 201, it is beneficial to mass production of products and the overall epitaxial growth process, specifically, if the thickness of the AlN buffer layer 201 is smaller than the above thickness range, the contact area between pure water and the AlN buffer layer 201 is too small when hydrolysis is performed in the subsequent reaction kettle, and the reaction time is too long, which is not beneficial to mass production of products, and if the reaction time is larger than the above thickness range, it is not beneficial to the subsequent overall epitaxial growth process.
The area of the AlN buffer layer 201 is the same as the area of the chip 301, that is, a plurality of AlN buffer layers 201 are disposed on the substrate 101, the AlN buffer layers 201 correspond to the positions of the chip 301, the substrate 101, the AlN buffer layers 201, and the chip 301 are sequentially distributed from bottom to top, and the substrate 101, the chip 301, and the AlN buffer layers 201 form a wafer. In this embodiment, the wafer is used to prepare micro leds.
The substrate peeling method includes the steps of:
s10: preprocessing the wafer to exhaust air among a plurality of chips;
it can be appreciated that, the substrate 101 is provided with the plurality of chips 301 and the AlN buffer layer 201 disposed corresponding to the plurality of chips 301, so that, in order to ensure the subsequent processing and the performance of the micro led, a separation distance exists between the adjacent chips 301, and by exhausting the air in the separation distance between the plurality of chips 301, the AlN buffer layer 201 and the pure water can be fully contacted in the subsequent reaction kettle, so that the situation that pure water cannot enter the separation distance between the plurality of chips 301, and then the AlN buffer layer 201 is insufficiently hydrolyzed and is difficult to peel is avoided.
Further, the step S10 specifically includes:
step S11: placing the wafer in a reaction tank, and performing first vacuum treatment on the reaction tank so as to enable the reaction tank to be in a vacuum state;
after the wafer is placed in the reaction tank, vacuumizing the reaction tank to a first calibration vacuum state, wherein the vacuum degree of the first calibration vacuum state is 5.3kPa, and enabling the reaction tank to maintain the first calibration vacuum state within a first calibration time, and the first calibration time is 4min. By controlling the first calibration vacuum state and the first calibration time, it is ensured that the AlN buffer layer 201 is not affected by other structures of the wafer, thereby reducing the yield.
Step S12: after pure water is injected into the reaction tank after the first vacuum treatment, the reaction tank is decompressed to a normal pressure state;
the liquid of the pure water in the reaction tank is higher than the thickness of the wafer, namely the pure water injected into the reaction tank needs to fully soak the wafer, so that the pretreatment is more sufficient.
Step S13: performing a second vacuum treatment on the reaction tank to exhaust air among a plurality of chips;
after the injection of the pure water is completed and the reaction tank is depressurized to a normal pressure state, the reaction tank is vacuumized to a second calibration vacuum state, and it can be understood that the second calibration vacuum state in step S13 is the same as the vacuum degree of the first calibration vacuum state in step S12, i.e. the vacuum degree of the second calibration vacuum state in step S13 is also 5.3kPa. And the second calibration time is 1.5min, and after the reaction tank is maintained in the second calibration vacuum state for the second calibration time, the reaction tank is depressurized to a normal pressure state so as to finish single treatment.
And circularly carrying out the single treatment on the reaction tank according to the calibration cycle times. It is understood that the single treatment is performed in a cycle in which the reaction vessel is maintained in a vacuum state of 5.3kPa vacuum for 1.5min and depressurized to a normal pressure state, and then again evacuated to a vacuum state of 5.3kPa vacuum and maintained for 1.5min. The number of calibration cycles is 25, and after the second vacuum treatment is completed, air between the plurality of chips 301 can be exhausted, so that the subsequent treatment is facilitated.
S20: transferring the pretreated wafer into a reaction kettle loaded with pure water, so that the reaction kettle is kept in a reaction state, and the AlN buffer layer is hydrolyzed by the pure water, so that the AlN buffer layer is loose in structure;
it is understood that the pure water injected into the reaction tank is the same as the pure water loaded in the reaction tank, and the liquid of the pure water in the reaction tank is also higher than the thickness of the wafer.
After transferring the wafer into the reaction kettle, heating the reaction kettle to a calibration temperature, wherein the calibration temperature is 110 ℃, adjusting the pressure in the reaction kettle to a calibration pressure, wherein the calibration pressure is 160kPa, and the calibration pressure is always higher than the saturated vapor pressure of water by more than 2kPa, so that the reaction kettle is in a reaction state, the temperature in the reaction kettle is increased, the reaction speed of pure water and the AlN buffer layer 201 in the wafer can be accelerated, namely the hydrolysis speed of the AlN buffer layer 201 is accelerated, and the calibration pressure in the reaction kettle is adjusted, so that the calibration pressure is always higher than the saturated vapor pressure of water by more than 2kPa, and the situation that the pure water enters a boiling state due to the temperature increase in the reaction kettle can be avoided, and the wafer is influenced. And enabling the reaction kettle to maintain the reaction state within a third calibration time, wherein the third calibration time can be correspondingly and dynamically adjusted based on the size of the micro LED, the smaller the size is, the shorter the third calibration time is, the larger the size is, the longer the third calibration time is, and preferably, the third calibration time is 120-240 min.
S30: taking out the hydrolyzed wafer, and stripping the substrate from the chip;
by adding pure water into the reaction kettle, the reaction kettle is kept in the reaction state by utilizing the characteristic of AlN hydrolysis, the reaction speed of the AlN buffer layer 201 and the pure water is accelerated, and the reaction principle is as follows:
AlN+3H 2 O=Al（OH） 3 +NH 3 ；
2AlN+3H 2 O=Al 2 O 3 +3H 2 +N 2 ；
from the above formula, it can be seen that, by hydrolyzing the AlN buffer layer 201 to form a product with a loose structure and easy cleaning, the substrate 101 can be directly peeled off from the chip 301, and by this way, the condition that the wafer generates micro cracks or micro defects due to too high temperature can be avoided by replacing the ultraviolet laser thermal decomposition way, and the problem of laser focal plane deviation is not required to be considered, so that the yield of the micro led is effectively improved, and the light efficiency of the subsequently manufactured micro led is improved to a certain extent. In addition, by the mode in this embodiment, after the substrate 101 is peeled, no gallium element specific to ultraviolet laser peeling is generated, so that a corresponding sewage treatment procedure can be saved, the protection performance is improved, after the substrate 101 is peeled, the substrate 101 is not damaged, and after the peeled substrate 101 is cleaned, the substrate 101 can be recycled, and the production cost is saved to a certain extent.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in the substrate peeling method of embodiment 2 of the present invention, a substrate 101 is peeled from a plurality of chips 301 grown on the substrate 101, an AlN buffer layer 201 is disposed between the substrate 101 and the chips 301, and the substrate 101, the chips 301 and the AlN buffer layer 201 form a wafer, and the substrate peeling method includes:
s100: and bonding one end of the chip, which is opposite to the AlN buffer layer, to a substrate through a bonding layer.
That is, in this embodiment, the wafer further includes the bonding layer 401 and the bonding substrate 501, the substrate 101, the AlN buffer layer 201, the chip 301, the bonding layer 401 and the bonding substrate 501 are sequentially disposed from bottom to top, in this embodiment, the structure of the wafer before the substrate 101 is peeled is as shown in fig. 5, preferably, the bonding substrate 501 and the substrate 101 have the same size, that is, a plurality of chips 301 are uniformly distributed on a surface of the bonding substrate 501 facing the chip 301.
S200: preprocessing the wafer to exhaust air among a plurality of chips;
specifically, the step S200 includes:
s210: placing the wafer in a reaction tank, and performing first vacuum treatment on the reaction tank so as to enable the reaction tank to be in a vacuum state;
s220: after pure water is injected into the reaction tank after the first vacuum treatment, the reaction tank is decompressed to a normal pressure state;
s230: and performing a second vacuum treatment on the reaction tank to exhaust air among a plurality of chips.
