Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a light-emitting element, and more particularly to a light-emitting diode structure. [Prior Art] Since the light-emitting diode has absolute advantages compared with the conventional light bulb, for example, small volume, long life, low voltage/current driving, not easy to break, significant heat problem when emitting light, no mercury (no pollution problem) , luminous efficiency ^ (power saving) and other characteristics 'and in recent years, the luminous efficiency of the LED is increasing, so the LED has gradually replaced fluorescent lamps and white in some areas, such as scanners that require high-speed response Light source, liquid crystal display, light source or front light source car dashboard lighting, traffic lights, and general lighting. Moreover, since the nitrogen-containing m-v group compound is a broadband band gap material, the emission wavelength can be covered from ultraviolet light to red light, which can be said to be almost the entire visible light band. Therefore, a light-emitting diode element using a gallium nitride-containing compound semiconductor such as gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum gallium nitride (GaA1N), or indium gallium nitride (GalnN) has been widely used in various light-emitting modules. in. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a structure of a conventional light emitting diode. Referring to FIG. 1 , the LED structure 100 is mainly composed of a substrate 11 , an n-type doped V-body layer 120 , an electrode 122 , a light-emitting layer no, a p-type doped semiconductor layer 140 , an ohmic contact layer 150 , and an electrode 142 . Composition. The n-type doped semiconductor layer 120, the light-emitting layer 13A, the p-type doped semiconductor layer 14A, the ohmic 5 1253771 17098 twf.doc/r contact layer 150, and the electrode 142 are sequentially disposed on the substrate 11〇, and The X-ray layer 13 is only covered by a portion of the n-type semiconductor layer (10), and the electrode 122 is disposed on the body layer 120 not covered by the light-emitting layer. 7 for dry, please continue to refer to the electrons provided by the n-type doped semiconductor layer 12, and the holes provided by the germanium-doped semiconductor layer 14 are recombined in the light-emitting layer, and thus generate light 102. Thereafter, a portion of the light 1〇2 # penetrates the ohmic contact layer 150 and the substrate 110, and exits above and below the light emitting diode structure 100, respectively. In addition, another portion of the light ray 102 is reflected by the surface of the substrate 110 or the interface between the electrode 142 and the p-type doped semiconductor layer 14A, and laterally between the n-type doped semiconductor layer 12 〇 to the p-type doped semiconductor layer 140. transfer. At this time, part of the energy of the light 1 〇 2 is absorbed by the n-type doped semiconductor layer 120, the p-type doped semiconductor layer 14 〇, the electrode 122 or the electrode 142, resulting in an external quantum of the light-emitting diode structure 1 〇 Reduced efficiency. In order to solve the above problems, the Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. U_274568 discloses that the surface of the substrate of the light-emitting diode is arbitrarily roughened by mechanical grinding and the process of casting, so that the light to be incident into the substrate is scattered. Further, the external quantum efficiency of the light-emitting diode structure is improved. However, roughening the surface of the substrate virtually does not effectively improve the external quantum efficiency of the light-emitting diode structure. On the one hand, when the concave pattern or the convex pattern on the surface of the substrate is too large, the crystallinity of the n-type doped semiconductor layer grown on the surface is lowered, thereby reducing the internal quantum efficiency of the light-emitting diode structure. , resulting in external quantum efficiency can not be raised 6 1253771 17098twf.doc / r high. On the other hand, because arbitrarily roughening the surface of the substrate will cause the light energy transmitted laterally to be more easily absorbed by the roughened surface, resulting in attenuation of light exiting the structure of the light-emitting diode, thus failing to achieve sufficient external quantum efficiency. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the object of the present invention is to provide a light-emitting diode structure, the substrate having the photonic crystal can not only improve the epitaxial quality, but also reduce the light transmitted along the surface of the substrate to increase the light-emitting The luminous efficiency of the polar body structure.

The arrangement pitch of 204 is the same as the arrangement pitch of the odd-numbered photonic crystals 2〇4, but in other embodiments, the even-numbered photonic crystals 2〇4 may have different arrangements from the odd-numbered photonic crystals 204. The spacing between the even-numbered photonic crystals 204 shown in Figures 3F and 3g For example, the photonic crystals 204 of the odd-numbered columns are twice as large, and the photonic crystals 204 of the even-numbered columns correspond to the spacing between two adjacent photonic crystals 204 in the odd-numbered columns, respectively. Note 12 1253771 17098 twf.doc/r 疋, The term "intermediate distance" refers to the center distance of two adjacent photonic crystals 2〇4 in each column, and the interval refers to the distance between two adjacent photonic crystals 2〇4. In more detail, in Fig. 3F The photonic crystals 2〇4 of the even columns are aligned with each other in the row direction, except that the odd-numbered photonic crystals 2〇4 are aligned with each other in the row direction. Furthermore, the photonic crystals 204 of each odd-numbered column in FIG. 3G are in the row direction. The photonic crystals 204 of the even-numbered columns of the kth column correspond to the spacing between adjacent photonic crystals 204 in the odd-numbered columns and the even-numbered columns in the k+1th column. More particularly, other aspects of the present invention In the embodiment, the photonic crystals 2 having a smaller diameter may be formed between the adjacent photonic crystals 204 in the even columns of FIG. 3F and FIG. 3G, for example, as shown in FIG. 3H and FIG. 3i. The photonic crystal 204 of the invention may also be in the form of a honeycomb The arrangement pattern is arranged on the surface of the substrate as shown in Fig. 3J. In another embodiment, the photonic crystals 204 may also be partially arranged in a honeycomb shape. The other portion of the photonic crystal 204b is The photonic crystal 204a arranged in a honeycomb shape is surrounded, as shown in Fig. 3K, wherein the diameter of the photonic crystal 2, for example, is larger than the diameter of the photonic crystal 2〇4b.
