Abstract

A method of forming a fine pattern begins with providing a c-plane hexagonal semiconductor crystal. A mask having a predetermined pattern is formed on the semiconductor crystal. The semiconductor crystal is dry-etched by using the mask to form a first fine pattern on the semiconductor crystal. The semiconductor crystal including the first fine pattern is wet-etched to expand the first fine pattern in a horizontal direction to form a second fine pattern. The second fine pattern obtained in the wet-etching the semiconductor crystal has a bottom surface and a sidewall that have unique crystal planes, respectively. The present fine-pattern forming process can be advantageously applied to a semi conductor light emitting device, particularly, to a phonic crystal structure required to have fine patterns or a structure using a surface plasmon resonance principle.

Invention Description: &quot;Priority Claims] β This application claims to be filed with the Korea Intellectual Property Office on September 28, 2007, and the Korean Patent Application No. 1 and the second year of the month. The priority of the proposed patent in the National Patent No. 8_63, the content of which is disclosed in this case is for reference. [Technical Field to Be Described] The invention relates to a method for forming a fine pattern, and more particularly to a method for fabricating a semiconductor light-emitting device for improving light efficiency by a micro pattern. [Prior Art] • 9 is manufacturing various semiconductors Devices, such as semiconductor-based luminescence • diodes, laser dinuclear bodies, photodiodes, and transistors. For specific money, semiconductor devices are required to have fine patterns such as; periodic/non-periodic patterns of 疋 regions Such a fine pattern can be formed by a known _process_semiconductor surface. In the case of , , , , / nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes, light selection efficiency due to the difference in refractive index between the external and nitride semiconductors In order to overcome this limitation, a fine pattern structure can be formed on the surface of the nitride semiconductor light-emitting diode. The junction of the photon of the grating pattern having a fine period is actively studied at -s (Ph〇t〇 Nk crystal structure ) in order to improve the luminance of the semiconductor light-emitting device. Moreover, a similar fine grid pattern is used. The principle of surface electric resonance is adopted as a method for improving illuminance. ... However, the engraving process for this patterning process has limitations in forming a fine pattern 4 94476 200924248 in terms of semiconductors. For example, reactive ion etching (RIE) and dry etching of inductively c〇upled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP_RIE) ensure accurate and reproducible patterns. Because it allows power control and is anisotropic. However, the dry shot j has the property that the properties of the semiconductor surface are easily degraded during the dry _ due to the physical bombardment of ions or neutral atoms. Even if it is non-p-type GaN The material of the film is deposited on the 卩-type GaN layer, and then the film is patterned by dry etching, and it is also difficult to prevent the damage layer from being disposed on the p-type GaN layer of the removed film portion. The solid line of FIG. 1 indicates the electrode. The current-voltage (I_V) characteristic of the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device intentionally damaged by the ICP using a halogen gas before being formed on the surface of the P-type GaN. 'χ, the indicated dashed line indicates the Ι-ν characteristic of the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device before the occurrence of the deduction, which is indicated by '♦, indicating that the nitride LED is not damaged. In the case of the material semiconductor, the current starts. From low electricity, it is willing to flow. 'Secondly, this current is not the current generated by the recombination of the child, the leakage current of the raw light. The tenth is not produced, the method is to recover the damage from the dry_ The original shape of the crucible is ~, because of the nitrogen vacancy, the conductivity type of the type G coffee etching process is changed to n type. ^; Because, the general post-process (p〇st_pr〇cessi) is used; the crystal of damage. Conductivity class - face two 94476 5 200924248 Defects of life. Unlike dry etching, wet etching does not cause damage to the surface of a semiconductor such as p-type GaN. However, wet etching also has a limitation in that a specific plane (e.g., c-plane) of a single crystal of nitride is hardly etched by I, and it is difficult to achieve proper patterning. Moreover, if the etching depth is excessive, the tip of the film is completely removed, and thus the photoresist layer used as a mask is separated. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A aspect of the present invention provides a method of forming a fine pattern capable of minimizing damage area caused by dry etching using a horizontal etching characteristic of { 0001 } c-plane hexagonal semiconductor crystal after dry etching. Aspects of the invention also provide a method of fabricating a semiconductor light-emitting device having a fine pattern that improves light output by using a method of forming a fine pattern. According to an aspect of the present invention, a method of forming a fine pattern is provided, comprising: providing a c-plane hexagonal semiconductor crystal; forming a mask having a predetermined pattern on the semiconductor crystal; and dry etching the semiconductor crystal using the mask Forming a first fine pattern on the semiconductor crystal; and wet etching the semiconductor crystal including the first fine pattern to expand the first fine pattern in a horizontal direction to form a second fine pattern. The second fine pattern obtained by the wet etching of the semiconductor crystal has a bottom surface and side walls each having a unique crystal plane. The semiconductor crystal substrate can be formed of a P-type nitride semiconductor which is damaged by dry etching. Since the bottom surface is a c-plane which is hardly etched at all in the wet etching, the bottom surface obtained by forming the first fine pattern may have the same surface as that obtained by forming the second fine pattern. c plane. The pattern of the mask may include a plurality of side walls of the plurality of fine patterns formed in the <u_2〇> direction of the semiconductor crystal and arranged along the <1-100> direction, and may have an m-plane. The pattern of the first-mask may include a plurality of line patterns formed in the <1_100> direction of the semiconductor crystal and arranged along the <11-20> direction. In the current implementation, when the secret is advanced, the line patterns are irregular on their surface Z, and the money can be partially thinned and thus provided as a dot pattern. Furthermore, even a dotted pattern can be performed by performing additional kings (4) and removing if necessary. As a result, this method can be used to control the thickness of the body layer. The pattern of the enamel may comprise a plurality of pores, and the second fine pattern may comprise a plurality of hexagonal pores. The inner wall of the hole may have a crystal plane which changes by the time of wet etching which is the second etching process. Forming the micropattern can include performing a wet side, such as a side of the second fine pattern: a::: face component and an S-plane component. Moreover, by successively following two π: walls may comprise, components which are more stable and capable of having a second fine pattern which may have a columnar structure. According to the need, the second subtle + praising can be formed before or after the mask is removed, and the semiconductor light-emitting device can manufacture the semiconductor light-emitting surface plasma resonance principle. 94476 7 200924248 is advantageously applied. A crystal junction of photons having a fine pattern or structure is required. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor light-emitting device, comprising: providing a semiconductor layer including a first conductivity type, a semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type, and a semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type and the second conductivity type a semiconductor structure having a plurality of layers of active layers between the semiconductor layers; forming a mask having a predetermined pattern on the second conductivity type semiconductor layer of the multilayer semiconductor structure, and etching the second conductive layer by using a mask Rate-type semiconductor layer to form a first fine pattern on the second, electric-rate type semiconductor layer; wet-etching the second conductivity type semiconductor layer including the first-fine pattern to expand the first in the horizontal direction - Finely patterning to form a second fine pattern; forming a first electrode and a second electrode with the mask removed. The first and first electrodes are respectively half-connected to the first and second conductivity types. The second conductivity type semiconductor layer may be a c-plane hexene crystal, and the surface layer obtained from the thirst-small-conductivity-type conductivity semiconductor layer may have a unique crystal plane. The bottom surface and the second case formed on the second conductivity type semiconductor layer may be referred to as a photonic (four) structure. The surface of the nitride semiconductor layer is represented by the surface of the active layer, and the crystal structure of the active layer is attenuated by the egg. On the outside, the total reflection effect of the photon refractive index (4) and the lowering of H (the fineness of the coffee) are effective for the better photon. The layer containing the second fine round is on the cladding type semiconductor layer. For example, 94476 8 200924248, a light transmitting metal layer or a light transmitting oxide layer such as IT can be formed. . The slave forms a structure using a surface plasma resonance principle, and the forming of the second electrode may include forming a highly reflective metal layer (e.g., silver) on the second conductivity type semiconductor layer including the second, &apos; The highly reflective metal layer can have a multilayer structure. The first conductivity type semiconductor layer may have a thickness that allows energy generated by the recombination hole/electron pair to be injected into the wire layer to excite the surface plasma to the second conductivity type semiconductor layer and the highly reflective metal layer The interface between them. • The second conductivity type semiconductor layer may have a thickness of about 50 nm or less between the first fine plaque pattern and the active layer. According to the manufacturing method of the present invention, it can be advantageously applied to a light-emitting device comprising a multilayer semiconductor of a nitride half body. In this case, the second conductivity type semiconductor layer may be a p-type nitride semiconductor layer. [Embodiment] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2A through 2D are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of forming a fine pattern using a horizontal wetness in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - As in Figure 2A, the fine pattern formation process according to the current embodiment begins with the provision of a planar hexagonal semiconductor crystal U. The / semiconductor crystal 11 may be, for example, GaN or another nitride semiconductor of a semiconductor known in the hexagonal system. In particular, the semiconductor substrate n can be a nitride layer in the 疋P, which is susceptible to damage. According to the current embodiment of 9 94476 200924248, a hexagonal semiconductor crystal having an upper surface provided as a C-plane { 0001 } is used. Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 2B, a mask 18 having a predetermined pattern is formed on the semiconductor crystal 11. The mask 18 can be a photoresist pattern. In this process, a mask 18 having a desired pattern can be formed by applying a photoresist to the surface above the semiconductor crystal 11 and then performing a general lithography process or a holographic lithography process thereon. The pattern may be a periodic pattern if desired, but the pattern used for the mask 18 of the present invention may vary. For example, the pattern may be, for example, a one-dimensional line pattern and a two-dimensional triangular or rectangular grid pattern, a periodic pattern of a semi-periodic pattern having a low short-range periodicity and a high-long-range periodicity, or a non-periodic pattern. The size and shape of the pattern can be changed even if it is maintained periodically or semi-periodically. This is because an anisotropic wet etching process (horizontal direction in the present invention) is performed after dry etching using a mask. A more detailed description will now be made with reference to Figures 2C and 2D. A hybrid etching process that combines a primary dry etch and a secondary wet etch is used in the current fine patterning process. Referring to Fig. 2C, the semiconductor crystal 11 is dry etched by using the mask 18, thereby forming the first fine pattern P1. The first fine pattern P1 is obtained by dry etching the semiconductor crystal 11 to a width corresponding to the width W1 of the opening of the mask 18 and a predetermined depth dl of the semiconductor crystal 11 in the current process. The depth of the first fine pattern P1 from the dry etching is 10 94476 200924248 degrees which is almost equal to the depth of the final fine pattern P2 of the 2D image. However, the width W1 (or the size of the pattern) of the first fine pattern P1 is smaller than the width of the final fine pattern P2. A more detailed description will now be made with reference to FIG. 2D. As described above, in the current process, ions and neutral atoms used for the dry etching cause damage area D over the entire surface of the first fine pattern P1 of the semiconductor crystal 11. That is, the area D of the crystallized crystal is directly exposed by dry etching so that the damaged portion is not only present on the bottom surface but also at the side wall of the first fine pattern P1. However, this can be minimized by the etching process of Figure 2D. In the process of Fig. 2D, the semiconductor crystal 11 containing the first fine pattern P1 is wet etched. In this embodiment, wet etching is performed after the mask 18 is removed. However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and the mask 18 can be removed after the wet etching process. The wet etching proceeds in the horizontal direction of the first fine pattern P1 because it hardly affects the stable c-plane at all. The horizontal wet etching continues until the side walls become a specific crystal plane. Since the etching rate is remarkably lowered on a specific lattice plane, wet etching can be performed with high reproducibility. The first fine pattern P1 is expanded in its horizontal direction, and thus can become the second fine pattern P2 having the side wall of the unique crystal plane. In this way, the second fine pattern P2 may have a depth d2 equal to the depth d1 of the first fine pattern P1 and a width w2 wider than the width w1 of the first fine pattern P1. In this process, as shown in Fig. 2D, the newly exposed side 由 obtained by the horizontal expansion of the first fine pattern P1 and the immersed area of the bottom surface of 11 94476 200924248 may not be generated or removed. Thus, the area d is damaged, and only the area corresponding to the bottom surface of the first fine pattern pi is maintained. Thereafter, the second fine pattern P2 can provide a ratio of the minimum damage area D to the entire exposed area. By using this principle, it is possible to control the mask map * ° and the meal engraving process in order to further reduce the ratio of damaged areas. In particular, 'by reducing the width W1 of the mask 18 and increasing the depth of the first thin Z (four) to 'can increase the surface obtained by the second fine pattern P2: hoarding while reducing the damage to the bottom of the first fine pattern P1 The area D is less damaged, and the second micro-picture is made of dry and thus can substantially prevent the deterioration of electrical performance caused by the accumulation of, for example, a gentleman.底 Λ, υ 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 由 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四 四The mouth is very stable. The side wall of the pattern is being wetted by the Japanese, so even though it is so fine, it can be seen that the g X T table (four) is completely etched.

The process is terminated, and its own 94476 12 200924248 k stops, so it has great advantages in ensuring process uniformity or high reproducibility. The crystal orientation of the wet etching and the mask pattern are obtained in the shape of the final pattern in the present invention. The size plays an important role. The crystal orientation can be selected by the mask pattern formed on the semiconductor crystal to be etched. That is, since the wet etching rate changes according to the crystal plane, it can be exposed according to which crystal plane Various patterns are obtained on the side walls of the crystal pattern exposed by the mask pattern (see Example 1, 1B). 'In particular, the inventors have found that a thick circular hole can be formed in the horizontal direction by dry etching and then wet etching. , obtaining a fine pattern of hexagonal holes. The fine pattern has a submicron size, and may have six sides on each side that form an acute angle of 120° with respect to the abutting side. Shape of the shape (see Example 1C). 'This can be considered as a unique feature of the present invention, and no other related art semiconductor etching method can be achieved. Further, as mentioned above, according to wet etching in a hexagonal shape The respective crystal planes of the exposure may be different. In particular, since the crystal plane of the sidewalls may be tilted according to the wet etching condition, a sidewall having a material covering the auxiliary deposition electrode may be provided. The operation of various embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. And effects.

. 實施例1A 依照現行實施例,具有形成於&lt;11-20&gt;方向並配置 於&lt;1-100&gt;方向線圖案之遮罩形成於c平面GaN半導體 結晶中。線圖案之週期設定大約0.6 //m。其後,執行乾 蝕刻達大約0.1//m之深度,然後去除遮罩(參看第3A圖)。 13 94476 200924248 其後,使用4MKOH水溶液之濕蝕刻執行於大約100 °C經過約10分鐘,然後使用掃描電子顯微鏡(SEM)觀察, 然後進一步執行濕蝕刻大約20分鐘(總共30分鐘)。 執行大約10分鐘濕钱刻後之結果,稩微傾斜之初始 侧壁變成垂直侧壁如第3B圖中所示。因為側壁變成 { 1-100丨平面,其為GaN之相對穩定結晶平面(亦即,m 平面),該側壁於大約20分鐘之額外的濕蝕刻期間不再被 蝕刻。當然,其為穩定c平面之底表·面幾乎未被蝕刻。[Embodiment 1A] According to the current embodiment, a mask having a pattern formed in the &lt;11-20&gt; direction and arranged in the &lt;1-100&gt; direction line is formed in a c-plane GaN semiconductor crystal. The period of the line pattern is set to be approximately 0.6 //m. Thereafter, dry etching is performed to a depth of about 0.1 / / m, and then the mask is removed (see Fig. 3A). 13 94476 200924248 Thereafter, wet etching using a 4 M KOH aqueous solution was performed at about 100 ° C for about 10 minutes, and then observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and then wet etching was further performed for about 20 minutes (total 30 minutes). As a result of performing the wet etching for about 10 minutes, the initial sidewall of the micro-tilt becomes a vertical sidewall as shown in Fig. 3B. Since the sidewall becomes a {1-100丨 plane which is a relatively stable crystalline plane of GaN (i.e., the m-plane), the sidewall is no longer etched during an additional wet etch of about 20 minutes. Of course, the bottom surface of the stable c-plane is hardly etched.

依照現行實施例,能夠看出由乾蝕刻所造成之損害面 積從側壁和底表面部分去除,能夠獲得清潔的結晶平面。 該結晶平面可以確保於半導體裝置中優越的電性接觸。 實施例1B 依照本實施例,相似於實施例1A,具有複數個線圖 案(例如:大約0.6 // m)之遮罩形成於c平面GaN半導 體結晶上。在形成方向和配置方向上有差異。也就是說’ 依照現行實施例,複數個線圖案形成於&lt; 1-100&gt;方向和配 置於&lt; 11-20〉方向。其後,執行乾蝕刻達大約0.1 //m深 度,然後去除遮罩(參看第4A圖)。 其後,使用4MKOH水溶液之濕蝕刻執行於大約100 °C經過約10分鐘,然後使用SEM觀察所得到的結構(參 看第4B圖)。其後,在其上執行濕蝕刻大約20分鐘(總 共30分鐘),使用SEM觀察所得到的結構(參看第4C 圖)。其後,額外地執行濕蝕刻大約20分鐘(總共50分 鐘),並使用SEM觀察所得到的結構(參看第4D圖)。 14 94476 200924248 祕. 圖案相似的形式(參看第3Α阁、 然而,如第4B圖令所示,者卜见、、/有弟3入圖)。 圖案之寬度增加(亦g|7 田7、’濕蝕刻繼續進行時, 曰刀OF即’圖案結構 蝕刻製程進行大約3〇分 又,斩漸減力。當 線性配置如第化圖中所 米 木又成點圖木, 完全的平括車品P 刻進一步進行時,保持 圖宰二第4〇圖)。此是因為經過時間後 刻於&lt;u-2°&gt;方向執行相較於 八他穩疋、.、。日日平面有相對高的蝕刻率。 述’依照現行實施例,相提供改變長度和寬 又,、有相對小損害之一維格柵和點圖案。 、、當從現行實施例看到(具有&lt;Μ〇〇&gt;方向格栅之水 :/’’’、,刻)’可能去除c平面(其通常未被濕钱刻)至預 疋的厚度。也就是說’依照本發明,乾姓刻執行於小面積 以形成溝槽,而濕關被用為後續製程。亦可能藉由控制 初始乾钱刻之餘刻深度而減少原來蟲晶層之厚度至所希望 之範圍。 尤其是,P型GaN層之表面因為損害而不能被乾蝕 亥】亦因為其為c平面而不能被濕钱刻。然而,藉由使用 依照現行實施例之製程,當P型GaN層之損害部分被最小 化時其厚度能夠減少。 實施例1 q 不像前面的實施例1A和1B,現行實施例使用三維圖 案。各具有尺寸大約〇·3 //m之複數個圓形遮罩形成在c 94476 15 200924248 ‘平面GaN半導體結晶上。複數個圓形遮罩圖案垂直和水平 • 配置於大約0.6/z m週期。 其後,執行乾蝕刻達大約0.1 A m深度,然後去除遮 罩。其後,使用4MKOH水溶液之濕蝕刻執行於大約100 °C經過約10分鐘,然後使用SEM觀察所得結構。如第5 圖中所示,能夠看到形成譬如柱狀結構(直徑:大約130 // m)之三維圖案。According to the current embodiment, it can be seen that the damage area caused by the dry etching is partially removed from the side wall and the bottom surface, and a clean crystal plane can be obtained. This crystal plane can ensure superior electrical contact in a semiconductor device. Embodiment 1B In accordance with this embodiment, similar to Embodiment 1A, a mask having a plurality of line patterns (e.g., about 0.6 // m) is formed on the c-plane GaN semiconductor crystal. There are differences in the direction of formation and the direction of configuration. That is, according to the current embodiment, a plurality of line patterns are formed in the &lt;1-100&gt; direction and in the &lt;11-20&gt; direction. Thereafter, dry etching is performed to a depth of about 0.1 //m, and then the mask is removed (see Fig. 4A). Thereafter, wet etching using a 4 M KOH aqueous solution was carried out at about 100 ° C for about 10 minutes, and then the obtained structure was observed using SEM (see Fig. 4B). Thereafter, wet etching was performed thereon for about 20 minutes (total for 30 minutes), and the obtained structure was observed using SEM (see Fig. 4C). Thereafter, wet etching was additionally performed for about 20 minutes (total 50 minutes), and the obtained structure was observed using SEM (see Fig. 4D). 14 94476 200924248 Secret. Patterns of similar form (see section 3, however, as shown in Figure 4B, see, and / have a brother 3 into the map). The width of the pattern is increased (also g|7 Tian 7, 'When the wet etching continues, the OF OF 即 即 ' pattern structure etching process is about 3 又 and then gradually reduced. When the linear configuration is as shown in the figure It is also a point figure wood, and when the complete flat car P is further engraved, keep the figure of the second figure. This is because the execution of the time in the &lt;u-2°&gt; direction is better than that of the eight. The day-to-day plane has a relatively high etch rate. According to the current embodiment, the phase provides a change in length and width, and a relatively small damage one-dimensional grid and dot pattern. As seen from the current embodiment (water with a &lt;Μ〇〇&gt; direction grid: /''', engraved) 'may remove the c-plane (which is usually not wet-wet) to pre-emptive thickness. That is to say, according to the present invention, the dry name is performed on a small area to form a groove, and the wetness is used as a subsequent process. It is also possible to reduce the thickness of the original insect layer to the desired range by controlling the depth of the initial dry money. In particular, the surface of the P-type GaN layer cannot be dry-etched due to damage, and because it is a c-plane, it cannot be wet-etched. However, by using the process according to the current embodiment, the thickness can be reduced when the damaged portion of the P-type GaN layer is minimized. Embodiment 1 q Unlike the foregoing Embodiments 1A and 1B, the current embodiment uses a three-dimensional pattern. A plurality of circular masks each having a size of approximately 〇·3 //m are formed on c 94476 15 200924248 'planar GaN semiconductor crystals. Multiple circular mask patterns are vertical and horizontal • Configured at approximately 0.6/z m cycles. Thereafter, dry etching is performed to a depth of about 0.1 A m, and then the mask is removed. Thereafter, wet etching using a 4 M KOH aqueous solution was performed at about 100 ° C for about 10 minutes, and then the obtained structure was observed using SEM. As shown in Fig. 5, a three-dimensional pattern such as a columnar structure (diameter: about 130 // m) can be seen.

實施例1D 依照現行實施例,三維圖案使用於前面實施例1C 中,但是各具有大約100 nm尺寸之複數個圓孔之遮罩形 成於c平面GaN半導體結晶上。該複數個圓孔以大約0.5 /zm週期以垂直和水平方式配置於其間。Example 1D According to the current embodiment, a three-dimensional pattern was used in the foregoing Example 1C, but a mask each having a plurality of circular holes having a size of about 100 nm was formed on the c-plane GaN semiconductor crystal.

After the formation of the circular hole pattern, wet etching using a 4 M KOH aqueous solution was carried out at about 108 ° C for about 30 minutes. As shown in Fig. 6, each has a hexagonal hole, and the sides of the hexagonal hole are formed in parallel with the fine pattern of the {1-1 〇〇丨 m plane, and the fine patterns are no longer etched. Example 1E. The current embodiment is similar to the previous embodiment 1D except that the diameter of each final hole is made larger to assist in observing the change in the side wall of the final hole in the crystal plane. In the current embodiment, the periods of the holes are the same as in the previous embodiment 1D, but the diameter of the holes is made larger. Sixth from the horizontal wet etching (100 °C, 4M KOH aqueous solution) 16 94476 200924248 The angular hole section is taken as an SEM image a picture about 1 minute of the result, &amp; 锫% members are not wet etched through the fruit. 7B shows that the result of the 40-minute junction is that when the wet_continues, the area (the s-plane is relatively less than ten sides occupies n%疋) decreases on the sidewall of the hole; a τ The area occupied has increased. In detail, from the 7th A2;: the 5th plane gradually distorts as the continuation proceeds, but the eclipse: face. The ten songs are gradually changed into 1* planes, and then become. The results of the observation of the section of the flat and the hole after the secret period of the hole. 疋 This shows that when the wet etching continues, the hole is changed from the initial y button Μ α θ green to the hole until the steady day surface is gradually exposed. The crystal plane of the inner side wall may be composed of a combination of a bottom surface ς 0〇n C plane and a { Hoi } s plane, 丨_ , , { 1-1Π0 I 0 twisted plane, • r plane, and the like. Since the wet _ does not perform the plane y, the depth of the hole does not change. However, it can be assumed that if the bottom surface and there are , , and the fields are not flat and inclined, the horizontal side operation can remove them. As described above, as for the fine pattern obtained in accordance with the present invention, the crystal plane exposed by the water (4) is a clean plane obtained by removing the portion damaged by the dry money. Thus, when the electrical contact layer is formed on the crystal plane, superior ohmic contact can be ensured. Moreover, when the electrode material is deposited, the contact characteristics can be improved by adjusting the slope of the crystal plane according to the crystal plane. 9 The fine pattern forming process can be widely applied to form a work pattern of various semiconductor devices. In particular, it can be advantageously applied to form a pattern 94476 17 200924248 for improving the light efficiency of the semiconductor light-emitting device - with respect to the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 8G, the eighth embodiment of FIG. 8A, nitride semi-conductive crystal Should be ^ example. The substrate 81, and the n-type nitride semiconductor layer &amp; gemstone half-85 are sequentially formed on the "stone and bismuth-type nitrogen and the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device and the p-side electrode_side electrode are connected to the n-type nitride semiconductor shoulder The fine pattern P3 of the electrode 89b is electrically formed by the compound semiconductor layer 85. The fine pattern can be obtained by referring to the P2A type vaporized semiconductor layer 85 (Example 1D). In other words: The process-type holes of the Ming can be configured in a periodic manner. As shown in the figure 8B, the hexagon is further formed on the surface including the periodic fine hole pattern 光 = optical transmission semiconductor layer 8S in accordance with the current embodiment. Photoacoustic pattern (4) Nitride Any material shape of ohmic contact. For example, ^ light transmission time to ensure that the light transmission = genus layer or such as the light transmission oxygen of IT0 = such as "less". If two 3 = conductor layer, the thickness can be 5. Or, the thickness of the main (four) β ' semiconductor layer 85 is excessively small, that is, the thickness of the 〇 或 or more 氮化 type nitride semiconductor layer 85 may be Α : the nuance of the Ρ type nitride semiconductor layer 85 The pattern Ρ3 may have a "," sub-crystalline structure, when the light generated in the active layer 84 is selected to the outside via the surface of the 944 type 94476 18 200924248 nitride semiconductor layer 85, by attenuating the surrounding air or sealant The total reflection effect caused by the low refractive index improves the light selection efficiency. The fine pattern formation method according to the present invention can perform high precision and superior reproducibility because even when wet etching is used, according to the crystal plane The etch rate is changed. Thus, the fine pattern forming process can be advantageously applied to the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device having the photonic crystal structure illustrated in FIG. 8A. Although described as a nitride semiconductor light-emitting device in the prior embodiment, However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention can be applied to a light-emitting device using various known semiconductor materials. Moreover, the embodiment of Fig. 8A The photonic crystal structure is used on a specific semiconductor layer, such as a P-type nitride semiconductor layer. However, the embodiment of FIG. 8A can be advantageously applied even when the aperiodic uneven pattern for light selection is formed of a different material. A method of forming a periodic fine pattern of surface plasma or a method for simultaneously forming a desired fine pattern of a crystal surface is formed. Embodiment 2 is related to an experiment of a light-emitting device having photonic crystal, and the result thereof. According to the current embodiment, a nitride semiconductor light-emitting device having an active layer comprising an InGaN multiple quantum well having a green wavelength is fabricated. As for the light-emitting device manufactured according to the current embodiment, a p-type GaN layer having a thickness of about 150 nm is used. It was dry etched to a thickness of about 54 nm by using a mask having a circular hole similar to the case of 19 94476 200924248, and then wet etching was performed thereon for about 10 minutes to form a hexagonal hole pattern. Thereafter, similar to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 8A, an optical transfer electrode oxide such as ITO is deposited on the p-type GaN layer. The light emitting electrode layer is formed to form a P side contact. Mesa-etching is performed thereon to partially expose the n-type GaN layer, and an n-side contact is formed on the exposed n-type GaN layer. The electrical characteristics and illuminance of the semiconductor light-emitting device manufactured by the method of the present invention were measured for electrical characteristics and illuminance of the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to Example 2. The results of the measurement are shown in Figures 9 and 10 in comparison with Reference Example Ref. The example Ref is the result of the light-emitting device, in which only the silver contact is disposed on the P-type nitride semiconductor layer and no pattern is formed thereon. Fig. 9 is a graph showing the IV of the semiconductor light-emitting device according to the current exemplary embodiment. The figure shows the light output associated with the current of the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the current exemplary embodiment. As shown in Fig. 9, unlike the nitride light-emitting device of Fig. 1, the semiconductor light-emitting device manufactured in accordance with Embodiment 2 of the present invention has an IV characteristic in which there is almost no damage caused by dry etching. Leakage current. The nitride semiconductor light-emitting device has a higher voltage at the same current than the reference example Ref, but the difference is not significant. The area ratio of the crystal plane obtained from the wet etching can be further increased, so that the contact resistance can be improved as compared with the prior embodiment, and better electrical characteristics can be achieved. Fig. 10 is a view showing the light output of a current relating to the manufacture of a nitride semiconductor light-emitting device of 20 94476 200924248 in accordance with the current embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 10, it can be seen that the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the current embodiment achieves an increase in illumination of about 24% at 350 mA due to the diffusion of photonic crystals as compared with the reference example Ref. That is, the photonic crystal pattern produced by the etching process according to the present invention is formed to have a precise profile such that a portion of the LED wafer that is limited by the total reflection is diffracted to allow emission to the outside of the wafer. angle. This also significantly improves the illumination of the LED. Fig. 11 is a side sectional view showing a nitride semiconductor light-emitting device obtained by the production method of the present invention, which is an application example of the principle of surface plasma resonance. The surface plasma used in this application oscillates as a collective charge density of electrons occurring on the surface of the metal film. The surface plasma waves generated by the collective charge density oscillation are surface electromagnetic waves propagating along the boundary surface between the metal and the dielectric. When the coupling between the surface plasma and the active layer occurs, the natural emission occurring in the active layer is increased by the surface plasma, and most of the light generated by the natural emission is excited to generate the surface plasma. A semiconductor light-emitting device employing this principle to improve its efficiency may be referred to as a surface plasma half-conductor light-emitting device. Referring to Fig. 11, the surface plasmon nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 110 is mounted on the sub-mount substrate 120 by soldering. The surface plasma nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 110 includes a nitride semiconductor sapphire substrate 1A, an n-type nitride semiconductor layer 112, an active layer 114, and a p-type nitride semiconductor layer 115, which are sequentially disposed on the nitride semiconductor sapphire substrate 111. 21 94476 200924248 Further, the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device 110 includes an n-side electrode 117 ′ and a p-side electrode 117 electrically connected to the n-type nitride semiconductor layer 112 and the germanium-type nitride semiconductor layer 115, respectively. A fine pattern Ρ4 having a periodicity is formed on the p-type nitride semiconductor layer 115. These fine patterns Ρ4 may be hexagonal pattern of holes arranged in a periodic manner, which is obtained by the process described with reference to Figs. 2 to 2D (Embodiment 1D). According to the current embodiment, as shown in Fig. 11, the highly reflective metal layer is formed as the p-side electrode 118 on the p-type nitride semiconductor layer 115 including the periodic fine hole pattern Ρ4. This highly reflective metal layer can be made of a material having a predetermined reflectivity while ensuring ohmic contact. For example, a highly reflective metal layer may be formed of a single layer or multiple layers such as Ming, Silver, Gold, Li, Record, Wrong and Ming. Moreover, the distance between the active layer 114 and the highly reflective metal layer is very important to cause surface plasma resonance. As such, the p-type nitride semiconductor layer 115 is required to have a sufficient thickness to allow the light emitted from the active layer 114 to excite the surface plasma between the p-type nitride semiconductor layer 115 and the highly reflective metal layer. . The p-type nitride semiconductor layer 115 may have a thickness of less than about 50 nm. If the thickness of the p-type nitride semiconductor layer 115 is insufficient, that is, the distance from the active layer 114 to the grid structure is excessively short, the leakage current is drastically increased. For this reason, the p-type nitride semiconductor layer 115 may have a thickness of 10 nm or more. According to the current embodiment, the principle of surface plasma resonance can be used in an optical device to improve luminous efficiency. Here, and the armor, the fine pattern p4 having the periodic grid structure must be on both sides of the PiillUb semiconductor layer 115 and the highly reflective metal layer to re-convert the excited surface plasma. In particular, the correct pitch and rule of the fine pattern p4 is determined according to the wavelength of the active layer 114. However, as previously explained, the distance between the active layer 114 and the highly reflective metal layer is very important in various conditions for causing the surface electrical §_resonance, such as the wavelength of the human light, and the refractive index of the material contacting the metal. Since the distance is usually 50 nm or less (which is relatively short), damage to the p-type nitride semiconductor layer II5 caused by dry etching may cause severe limitations. However, the fine pattern forming process according to the present invention can minimize the damage remaining in the fine pattern P4 at the final stage. Moreover, even if wet etching is used, the fine pattern forming process according to the present invention can achieve high accuracy and excellent reproducibility&apos; because the etching rate changes depending on the crystal plane. As such, the 11 dark pattern forming process in accordance with the present invention can be advantageously applied to the first surface plasma nitride semiconductor light-emitting device. There is a green light-emitting device i^i_3. According to the prior embodiment, a nitride semi-conducting of an active layer of an InGaN multi-quantum well of a heterochromatic wavelength is produced similarly to the second embodiment. / Dry etched The LED fabricated according to the current embodiment comprises a hexagonal hole pattern formed by the ip phase 94476 to a depth of about 33 nm, and is p-shaped with a thickness of about 66 nm as in the case of Example 23 200924248. A mask having a circular hole was used on the GaN layer, and then wet etching was performed for about 10 minutes. Thereafter, similar to the structure illustrated in FIG. 11, a p-side contact is formed by depositing a plurality of metal electrodes including a highly reflective material layer which is a silver layer on the p-type GaN layer, and by performing a mesa The remainder is formed by partially exposing the n-type GaN layer to form an n-side contact. In order to examine the improvement in electrical characteristics and illuminance of the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device manufactured by the method of the present invention, the improvement in electrical characteristics and illuminance of the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to Example 3 was measured. The results of the measurement are shown in Figures 12 and 13 in comparison with Reference Example Ref. Here, the reference example is a result of including the same multilayer metal electrode light-emitting device structure as in Embodiment 3 and not including the pattern on the P-type nitride semiconductor layer. Fig. 12 is a view showing an I-V curve of a nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the current embodiment. Fig. 13 is a view showing the light output of the current of the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the current embodiment. As can be seen from Fig. 12, as can be seen from Fig. 1, the semiconductor light-emitting device manufactured in accordance with Embodiment 3 of the present invention has an I-V characteristic in which there is almost no leakage current generated at the dry etching time. However, a slightly irregular curve was observed on the I-V curve of the current embodiment, which has a very thin P-type nitride semiconductor layer as compared with the conventional embodiment of the conventional nitride semiconductor light-emitting device. The nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the current embodiment has an almost constant voltage at the same current as compared with the reference example Ref. By increasing the area ratio of the crystal plane obtained from the wet etching, it is desirable to have better electrical characteristics than the current embodiment 24 94476 200924248, and thus improve the contact resistance. Fig. 13 is a view showing the light output of the current of the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. As can be seen from Fig. 13, the nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the current embodiment has an improvement in illumination of about 64% at 350 mA due to the surface plasma resonance effect as compared with the reference example Ref. That is, the fine grid structure fabricated using the etching process in accordance with the present invention forms an accurate profile such that the electron-holes of the multi-quantum wells implanted into the LED wafer convert light into light through the medium of the surface plasma. And the light is emitted to the outside of the LED chip. Moreover, portions of the light generated by self-emission without the use of surface plasma as a medium and limited by total reflection are diffracted to shift the direction of propagation of the light to an angle that allows emission to the outside of the wafer. Thus, the illuminance of the illuminating device can also be significantly improved. According to the present invention, only a minimum portion of the desired pattern area is etched, and then wet etching is performed in the horizontal direction to form the surface, so that the damage caused by the dry etching I i is minimized. Moreover, the crystallographic direction (pattern forming direction) and wet etching conditions (e.g., time conditions) are appropriately controlled so that the high reproducibility of the fine pattern can be ensured while the height and the size of the fine pattern are freely controlled. A semiconductor light-emitting device having superior light efficiency can be provided by applying such patterns to a photonic crystal structure or a structure using a surface plasma principle. Moreover, the particular geometry of the fine pattern in accordance with the present invention is naturally formed in accordance with the hexagonal crystallization system during the subsequent wet etch process. 25 94476 200924248 In the 疋, the fine pattern has a unique crystal plane, such as the C plane, the m plane, the S plane, and the heart plane, in which almost no damage occurs, because: the crystal plane can be directly in contact with the semiconductor light-emitting device Is the electrode layer of all or conductive oxides 'so formed? Type ohmic contact is more advantageous. Although the present invention has been shown and described with respect to certain exemplary embodiments, it will be understood that those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. range.
