Field of the Invention This invention relates to an epitaxial method, and more particularly to a method of in-situ crystals for producing a solid-state light-emitting element for light extraction. [Prior Art] The solid-state illuminating element is one of the new generation of artificial light sources. Taking the light-emitting diode (LED) as an example, its process technology is mature, and it has long life, power saving, small volume, low driving voltage, and reaction. The advantages of fast speed and high recognition rate have been seen everywhere in daily life. Referring to FIG. 1, a general light-emitting diode includes a substrate n, a quantum unit 12 which is epitaxially formed on the substrate 11 and can generate light by a photoelectric effect, and two sheets are disposed on the quantum unit 12 to supply electric energy. Electrode 13. When electric energy is applied from the two electrodes 13, a current is passed through the quantum unit a to cause electron-hole bonding to generate light, and the generated light is continuously refracted and reflected inside the light-emitting diode 1, and finally via the light-emitting diode. ^ The interface with the outside world is shot. The efficiency of the light produced by the quantum unit 12 is referred to as the internal luminous efficiency, and the efficiency of the light emitted by the interface of the light-emitting diode 丨 with the outside (generally referred to as the top surface of the quantum unit opposite to the substrate Η) is called The light extraction efficiency (_extraction); the current internal luminous efficiency of the nitride light-emitting diode is about 60 鸠, and the silk is effective (4) cutting 2^ Therefore, the current research is mainly aimed at improving the components. Light extraction efficiency. According to Yan Jiu's light extraction efficiency, the light extraction path can be increased from the increase of scattering 5 200826158 == and the light path to the direction of the substrate U -= the main cause of this U Zheng Zheng includes the substrate u "The structure of the soil material 12 and subsequent formation of quantum units ^ 曰

Therefore, the research in this part must be carried out simultaneously with the structure of the H material 11 and the subsequent epitaxial process. The earliest, Japanese special Kaiping u-274568 issued * The roughening of the substrate u and the quantum unit 12' by means of mechanical grinding = The roughening of the substrate surface 111 caused by the mechanical grinding of the field is random, so the back center crystal The growth of the quantum single 疋 12th Temple will cause the problem that the growth of the crystal growth is not easy to be polymerized, and the yield of the Yuan production is not adopted by the industry. After a7L#, the invention patent No. 2001_267242 of Japan discloses that a long and regularly spaced groove-ridge structure (groo ve_r) is formed on the surface of the material, attempting to scatter from the quantum unit and proceed toward the substrate. The light path, which in turn increases the light extraction efficiency. Referring to Figure 2, however, such a substrate will still form an air-encapsulated aperture 14 near the top edge of the ridge structure due to the inevitable mechanism of growth of the crystallites during epitaxial growth (v〇ids). And because the difference in refractive index between the hollow cells and the crystallites formed by the hollow crystals is larger than the difference between the refractive index of the substrate and the quantum =, it causes the light emitted from the quantum unit and traveling toward the substrate. Repeated travel, which reduces the efficiency of the light that is intended to be improved. In addition, these trench-ridge structures also have problems in the polymerization of actual insect crystals, which may not affect the polymerization of components, which in turn affects the yield of component production. In addition, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0129948 discloses that a plurality of recessed holes are formed on the surface of the substrate, and (4) a material for which the refractive index value and the lattice coefficient are filled in each of the concave apertures, and then the crystal growth quantum unit is further processed. By means of the number of recessed holes and the predetermined material filled in the recessed holes, the formation of the apertures 14 at the top of the recessed holes is reduced when the quantum cells are epitaxially grown to reduce the repeated travel of light, and the quantum elements which are also scattered can be emitted and directed. The light path that travels in the direction of the substrate increases the light extraction efficiency.

Into the (four) process steps in the hole, and significantly increase the cost of the process, it is not suitable for actual mass production needs. The efficiency of light extraction of 70 pieces is still one of the reasons why the industry is holding it. How to effectively improve the direction of continuous efforts. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The inventors carefully analyzed the conventional substrate and its crystal growth process, and learned that it is known that the groove-ridge structure or the substrate formed with the pit structure will generate pores and reduce the light extraction efficiency. The original purpose is that the substrate roughening ^ (6) day and / or the recessed hole ' can define the bottom surface of the w crystal growth when the cut - direction (ie x_y direction) is a discontinuous low parasitic crystal face, ^ 纟In addition to the voids formed by the grooves and/or the recessed holes, the surface is continuous in the third-direction of the growth of the crystallites, so when the crystallites grow, from the per-low position After the crystal crystals of 200826158 nuclear crystal growth grow into a surface-like crystal structure along the first and second directions, they can no longer grow in the first and second directions, but only in the second direction (ie, The twist direction, the z direction) grows thicker in a surface state, and the seed crystal grown on the high-level epitaxial surface can grow in a three-dimensional synchronous manner along the first, second, and third directions, and the g grows from the mother's low-level stupid crystal face. When the crystal structure is thickened to near the high-level epitaxial surface, it will be due to grooves and/or depressions. It is extremely difficult to nucleate long crystals on the side surface of the side surface, so that the crystal structures grown on the high and low epitaxial planes are mutually polymerized, and the half-sided surface of the side surface which cannot be nucleated and grown is formed. The pores, which in turn cause a decrease in the light extraction efficiency of the subsequently prepared components. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an epitaxial method which can increase the light extraction rate of a component. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a substrate which can improve the light extraction rate of a subsequently produced component. In the present invention, an epitaxial method of the present invention comprises the following steps. First preparing a substrate having a layer body and a plurality of islands, and the layer body comprises a surface substantially defined by a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other, the plurality of islands being phased with each other The protrusions are spaced apart from the surface in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. Then defining that the surface is a continuous low-level epitaxial surface along the first, second, and third directions during epitaxial growth, and simultaneously defining that each island has a lean parallel to the lower parasite and is an insect When the crystal grows, it is a discontinuous high-level epitaxial plane along the first and second directions. Then, the seed crystals of the crystal growth are simultaneously formed from the high and low μ crystal faces, and the seed crystals growing from the low epitaxial surface are synchronously three-dimensionally grown into a continuous crystal structure along the first, second and third directions 8 200826158. ^ Each high seed crystal is confined along the first, - too Λ p ^ ^ warfare ... one - universal growth, and then grows in a third direction to increase the discontinuous crystal structure. Finally, the stupid crystals continue to grow and the i/s grows day by day, so that the continuous crystal structure growing from the low-level epitaxial surface three-dimensionally grows into a county ladder ρ 5 # ^ ^ thick to babe parallel to the high-level epitaxial surface, thereby Qilian only has B body, , and. The discontinuous crystal structure which grows with each crystal plane is grown and polymerized to form an epitaxial film. The present invention is a substrate for forming a continuous worm surface by an island shape, and is suitable for growing up to n-day film of the upper worm crystal, the substrate comprising a layer body, and a resurrection island. ~ The layer has a surface substantially defined by the -first direction and the second direction perpendicular to each other. The plurality of islands are spaced apart from each other from the surface in a second direction perpendicular to the second direction, and the surface of the layer can be defined as: 曰, 长% /0 3 The second, third, and third directions are continuous low worm planes, and the 曰 曰 mother-island has - substantially parallel to the low worm plane and is defined as Lei 曰曰 蚪: 蚪 a ahai first and second directions Non-continuous high-level epitaxial surface. When the epitaxial growth occurs, the seed crystal grows simultaneously from the high and low epitaxial planes, and the seed crystal grown from the low parasite surface is the same along the first, second and third directions: three-dimensional growth into a continuous crystal structure 'from Each of the high-level stupid crystal faces grows in the first and second directions and is confined to grow into a discontinuous crystal structure in the third direction in the surface state' and grows thicker to the cross-parallel when the continuous crystal structure grows thicker. In the case of a high parasite crystal plane, the continuous crystal structure and the non-continuous crystal structure in which each of the high crystal crystal planes grow grow into a single body to form a single crystal film. ^ The effect of the invention is that the substrate is formed with a high and low epitaxial surface, and the low-order epitaxial surface is formed into a three-dimensional spatially continuous crystal structure, and the high-order epitaxial surface can only be one-dimensionally oriented in the height direction. The epitaxial thickened crystal structure is formed by epitaxial polymerization to form a non-porous epitaxial film, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the subsequent epitaxially formed light-emitting element. The above and other technical contents, features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments. Before the present invention is described in detail, it is noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals. Referring to Fig. 2, a preferred embodiment of the epitaxial method of the present invention is to epitaxially form a non-porous worm film 5, thereby preparing a luminescent element (light emitting diode) having high light extraction efficiency. Referring to FIG. 3, firstly, step 2 is performed to prepare a plate-like substrate 3 having a layer of "body 3" and a plurality of islands 32, the layer 31 including a substantially perpendicular to each other - the first The direction 1〇〇 and the second direction 2〇〇 define a surface 311'. The plurality of islands 32 are spaced apart from each other from the surface along a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions ι〇〇2〇〇 · = extension; preferably 'the substrate 31 can utilize the ion-consuming plasma gas to engrave, the inside' and the s substrate 31 to cover the gem substrate when the chlorine chloride (Bci3/Cl2 is the preferred choice) 'Class (4), can also be wet to shape the substrate, when the substrate 31 is a sapphire substrate, the scaly acid solution (then 3) is 10 200826158 main etching solution, the etching temperature needs to be not less than 250 ° C; and the distance between any two islands 32 formed is between 200 nm and 10//m, the height of each island 32 is 0.5 to 10//m, and the area of the high-level epitaxial surface is not more than 10×10. //m2, in addition, the shape of the island 32 can be obtained, for example, by using a choice of an etching hard mask and an etching direction during etching. The vertebral body, the hemisphere, and the like have different shapes. Then, in step 22, the surface 311 of the layer body 31 is defined as a continuous low-level epitaxial plane along the first, second, and third directions 100, 200, and 300. At the same time, each of the islands 32 is defined to have a high-level epitaxial surface 500 substantially parallel to the lower-level stupid surface 400 and which is discontinuous along the first and second directions 100, 200 when the crystallite grows. Referring to FIG. 4, then proceeding to step 23, the seed crystals to be crystallized are simultaneously nucleated from the plurality of high-order epitaxial planes 500 and the low-level epitaxial planes 400. The seed crystal grown from the low-order stupid surface 400 is Along the brothers*^, -1, and 3 directions 100, 200, 300, the three-dimensional growth into a continuous crystal structure 4, and the crystal growth from each high-level epitaxial surface 500 grows along the first and second directions 100, 200 It is limited, and then thickened into a discontinuous crystal structure 5 in a third direction 300 by a surface pattern; preferably, this step needs to control the epitaxial growth conditions from the high and low epitaxial faces 500, 400, The epitaxial growth rate of the low epitaxial plane 400 is greater than the epitaxial crystal from the plurality of high epitaxial planes 500 The long-rate 〇 is matched with FIG. 5, and finally step 14 is performed to continue epitaxial growth. When the continuous crystal structure 4 grown from the low-order epitaxial plane 400 is grown thicker to be substantially parallel to the high-order epitaxial plane 500, at a high level. Epitaxial surface 500 into 11 200826158 == Body structure 5 will begin to grow along the first- and second-party", the four-phase structure of the social structure and the continuous crystal growth from the lower epitaxial® 400. Membrane 6. Referring to Figure 6, when the LV age embers from the GaN rate semi-conducting material ~, and with the epitaxial growth of the second == film when the 'this hair ... a real can be: square = gallium" _ material system The wave that can be emitted and the subsequent process steps are mmd, which is better than the light-emitting diode of the second: the bare LED is 81 to form the light-emitting diode of the apertured crystal film: Near us, it can be indirectly proved that one of the methods of the present invention can effectively improve the light extraction efficiency of the component.
