Description

一种发光二极管 技术领域  Light-emitting diode
本发明涉及一种发光二极管 (light emitting diode, LED), 具体地说是一种新型的 电流输运增透窗口层和高反射图形转移衬底的发光二极管,属于半导体光电子技术领 域。  The present invention relates to a light emitting diode (LED), and more particularly to a novel light-transmitting diode for a current transport antireflection window layer and a highly reflective pattern transfer substrate, and belongs to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic technology.
背景技术 Background technique
目前, 高亮度可见光 LED作为一种新型光源在汽车车灯、 户外显示、 景观照明 以及光信息处理等领域有着巨大的应用市场。 90年代后, AlGalnP和 GaN材料的研 究与幵发, 使 LED从低亮度向高亮度乃至超高亮度发展, 并且波段覆盖全部可见光 区域。 提高 LED发光强度的一个重要任务就是提高光效, 包括内部量子效率和外部 量子效率, 虽然如今各种外延生长与控制技术已经可以将内部量子效率 (Internal quantum efficiency, ηίη,) 提高至 90%甚至接近 100%, 但是外部量子效率 (External quantum efficiency, ηεχ1)却很低, 有的甚至只有 10%或更低, 这严重限制了 LED的发 展与应用。 At present, high-brightness visible light LED has a huge application market in the fields of automobile lamp, outdoor display, landscape lighting and optical information processing as a new type of light source. After the 1990s, research and development of AlGalnP and GaN materials led to the development of LEDs from low to high brightness to ultra-high brightness, and the band covered all visible areas. An important task to improve the luminous intensity of LEDs is to improve the light efficiency, including internal quantum efficiency and external quantum efficiency, although various epitaxial growth and control techniques can now increase internal quantum efficiency (η ίη ) to 90%. Even close to 100%, but the external quantum efficiency (η ε χ 1 ) is very low, and some even only 10% or lower, which severely limits the development and application of LED.
对于普通结构的 LED, 结构如图 1所示, 从上往下看依次包括: 上电极 100、 电 流扩展层 200、 上限制层 300、 有源区 500、 下限制层 400、 缓冲层 600、 衬底 700和 下电极 800。造成其外部量子效率较低的原因主要是: 首先, 如 GaAs基 LED的吸收 衬底对有源区产生的光有着很强的吸收作用,吸收的光子最终以热的形式存在;其次, LED 体材料的折射率比空气折射率大很多, 根据希尔定律, 全反射作用使得发射到 界面的光子只有处于临界角以内才能发射到体外; 最后, 上电极正下方的电流密度很 大, 而该部分电流产生的光不但不能发射到体外, 反而由于电极的阻挡或吸收, 在体 内变成热。  For a conventional structure LED, the structure is as shown in FIG. 1, and includes, in order from the top, the upper electrode 100, the current spreading layer 200, the upper confinement layer 300, the active region 500, the lower confinement layer 400, the buffer layer 600, and the lining. Bottom 700 and lower electrode 800. The main reason for the low external quantum efficiency is: First, the absorption substrate of a GaAs-based LED has a strong absorption of light generated by the active region, and the absorbed photons eventually exist in the form of heat; secondly, the LED body The refractive index of the material is much larger than the refractive index of the air. According to Hill's law, the total reflection causes the photons emitted to the interface to be emitted into the body only within the critical angle. Finally, the current density directly under the upper electrode is large, and the portion The light generated by the current can not only be emitted to the outside of the body, but instead becomes hot in the body due to the blocking or absorption of the electrode.
目前, 为了解决普通 LED 的上述三个问题, 国内外均提出了各种各样的解决方 案。例如, 针对吸收衬底的问题, 有人在图 1所示的缓冲层和下限制层之间生长一层 分布布拉格 (DBR) 反射层 900, 对入射角接近 0度的光子有着很好的反射作用, 器 件结构如图 2所示; 对于 LED体材料折射率与空气折射率相差较大的问题, 人们提 出的办法是在 LED的出光面制作一层增透膜 120, 器件的外量子效率能增加约 30〜 40%, 如图 3所示; 最后, 关于上电极正下方电流密度较大的问题, 国外有人提出过 制作电流阻挡层 110的办法, 如: 采用离子注入, p-n结二次外延等方法有效地增加 了电流向电极周围的扩展, 但工艺复杂, 成本高, 器件结构如图 4所示。 图 2、 3、 4 这些结构的器件都只是单一或部分地解决了普通 LED的一个问题, 光提取效率仍不 高, 甚至工艺复杂等, LED的应用受到一定的限制。 At present, in order to solve the above three problems of ordinary LEDs, various solutions have been proposed at home and abroad. For example, for the problem of absorbing a substrate, a layer is grown between the buffer layer and the lower confinement layer shown in FIG. The distributed Bragg (DBR) reflective layer 900 has a good reflection effect on photons with an incident angle close to 0 degrees. The structure of the device is shown in Figure 2. For the problem that the refractive index of the LED body material differs greatly from the refractive index of the air, it is proposed The method is to make an anti-reflection film 120 on the light-emitting surface of the LED, and the external quantum efficiency of the device can be increased by about 30 to 40%, as shown in Fig. 3; finally, the problem of large current density directly under the upper electrode is abroad. A method of fabricating the current blocking layer 110 has been proposed, such as: ion implantation, pn junction secondary epitaxy, etc., effectively increasing the current spreading around the electrode, but the process is complicated and the cost is high, and the device structure is as shown in FIG. Figures 2, 3, and 4 These devices solve only one problem of ordinary LEDs in a single or partial way. The light extraction efficiency is still not high, and even the process is complicated. The application of LEDs is limited.

In the present invention, the conductive bonding layer 150 is electrically conductive and can perform a good bonding, and the material thereof is a conductive adhesive or a metal.

本发明所述的电流输运增透窗口层和高反射图形转移衬底结构的 LED 与常规 LED器件结构 (如图 1所示) 相比, 有着一些重要的优越性, 表现在- 1. 高光提取效率及高光功率输出 电流阻挡层 110、 电流扩展层 201、 导电增透出光层 130共同构成的电流输运增 透窗口层 111, 它使得注入电流不向上电极 100下方流动, 而横向输运在窗口层下方 的有源区 500内辐射复合发光。导电增透出光层 130材料的折射率处于空气和体材料 之间, 增加了出光角度, 更有利于发射到界面的光子发射到体外, 可利于加增透膜或 表面粗化结构,进一步增加了光提取效率; 图形化的电流扩展层 202或图形化的转移 衬底 161与导电高反射层 140结合,起到了优良的反光镜的作用和改变光子传播方向 的作用, 使向下发射的光子经过该两层材料的一次或几次反射, 改变了出光方向, 最 终绝大部分光子都从电流输运增透窗口层 111 发射到体外。 该结构大大增加了 LED 的光提取效率, 从而增加了相同注入电流下的输出光功率。 The current transporting antireflection window layer and the high reflection pattern transfer substrate structure of the LED of the present invention have some important advantages compared with the conventional LED device structure (as shown in FIG. 1), and are manifested in - 1. Extraction efficiency and high optical power output The current blocking layer 110, the current spreading layer 201, and the conductive anti-reflecting light layer 130 are combined to form a current transporting anti-transparent window layer 111, which causes the injection current not to flow under the upper electrode 100, and the lateral transport is below the window layer. The source region 500 radiates a composite luminescence. The refractive index of the material of the conductive anti-reflecting light-emitting layer 130 is between the air and the body material, which increases the light-emitting angle, and is more favorable for the emission of photons emitted to the interface to the outside of the body, which may facilitate the addition of the anti-reflection film or the surface roughening structure, further increasing The light extraction efficiency; the patterned current spreading layer 202 or the patterned transfer substrate 161 is combined with the conductive high reflection layer 140 to function as an excellent mirror and to change the direction of photon propagation, so that the photons emitted downward After one or several reflections of the two layers of material, the direction of light exiting is changed, and eventually most of the photons are emitted from the current transporting antireflection window layer 111 to the outside of the body. This structure greatly increases the light extraction efficiency of the LED, thereby increasing the output optical power at the same injection current.
2. 优良的热特性及可靠性  2. Excellent thermal characteristics and reliability
一方面, 从上电极 100注入的电流由于被下方电流阻挡层 110阻挡不能垂直向下 运动, 只能通过电流扩展层 201和导电增透出光层 130横向输运, 电流自然地流向电 极正下方以外的有源区, 电极正下方无电流, 由于在常规 LED中上电极正下方的电 流密度很大, 该部分电流产生的大量光子不但不能发射到体外, 反而由于上电极的遮 挡、 反射、 吸收或在体内吸收, 最后在体内变成热, 发热、 升温, 限制了器件性能的 提高及 LED的应用。 电流输运增透窗口层和高反射图形转移衬底的发光二极管, 大 大减少了注入电流在体内的损耗和无效光子的产生, 也减少了热的产生, 另一方面, 转移衬底 160或图形化的转移衬底 161是一种优良的热导体,对体内产生的热量能够 迅速地耗散, 更有利于 LED的发光, 同时也保证了器件的热特性及可靠性。  On the one hand, the current injected from the upper electrode 100 cannot be vertically moved downward due to being blocked by the lower current blocking layer 110, and can only be laterally transported through the current spreading layer 201 and the conductive anti-reflecting light layer 130, and the current naturally flows directly below the electrode. In the active area other than the electrode, there is no current directly under the electrode. Due to the high current density directly under the upper electrode in the conventional LED, a large number of photons generated by this part of the current can not be emitted to the outside of the body, but due to the shielding, reflection and absorption of the upper electrode. Or absorbed in the body, and finally become hot in the body, heat, heat, limit the performance of the device and the application of LED. The current transporting the antireflection window layer and the high reflection pattern transfer substrate of the light emitting diode greatly reduce the loss of the injection current in the body and the generation of ineffective photons, and also reduce the generation of heat, on the other hand, transferring the substrate 160 or the pattern The transfer substrate 161 is an excellent thermal conductor, which can quickly dissipate heat generated in the body, is more conducive to the illumination of the LED, and also ensures the thermal characteristics and reliability of the device.
3. 高性能、 高产量的器件  3. High performance, high throughput devices
通常 LED电极的直径在 80-1 ΙΟμιη, 因此,随着器件尺寸的减小, 电极下电流(产 生无效光子和发热)所占总注入电流的比例上升, 光提取效率和光功率输出下降。相 同注入电流下,电流输运增透窗口层及髙反射图形转移衬底的发光二极管有着高的光 提取效率及高光功率输出, 几乎没有电极下的电流及其产生的无效光子在体内发热, 所以器件的输出特性与器件的尺寸无线性关系,在小的器件尺寸下, 同样可以得到高 的光提取效率和光功率输出, 同时也大大减少了电极下方电流损耗和热产生,使器件 具有优良的热特性及可靠性。在相同的制作成本和工艺条件下, 器件尺寸越小, 同样 尺寸的外延片 LED管芯的产量越高, 因此, 电流输运增透窗口层和高反射图形转移 衬底的发光二极管的产量高、 性能高, 从而产值也高, 尤其适合于大批量生产。 附图的简要说明: Usually, the diameter of the LED electrode is 80-1 ΙΟμιη. Therefore, as the size of the device decreases, the ratio of the current under the electrode (which generates ineffective photons and heat generation) to the total injection current increases, and the light extraction efficiency and optical power output decrease. Under the same injection current, the current transporting the antireflection window layer and the light-emitting diode of the 髙-reflecting pattern transfer substrate have high light extraction efficiency and high optical power output, and almost no current under the electrode and invalid photons generated in the body heat, so The output characteristics of the device are wireless with the size of the device. In small device sizes, high light extraction efficiency and optical power output can be achieved, while reducing current loss and heat generation under the electrode. Has excellent thermal properties and reliability. At the same fabrication cost and process conditions, the smaller the device size, the higher the yield of the same size epitaxial LED die, and therefore the higher the yield of the light-transmission window layer and the highly reflective pattern transfer substrate. High performance and high output value, especially suitable for mass production. Brief description of the drawing:
