- Mini/Micro LED chips As the core light-emitting device of Mini/Micro LED products, Mini/Micro LED chips have increasingly stringent performance requirements. However, the heat conversion rate of current Mini/Micro LED chips is still high. Taking the high-voltage Mini LED chip used for backlight as an example, about 34% of its electric power is converted into heat through non-recombined radiation. For the 4*8mil and 3*6mil RGBMini LED chips used in small-pitch displays, the proportion of heat converted into heat through non-composite radiation can even be as high as about 70%. Therefore, it is very important to have good heat dissipation performance for high-voltage Mini/Micro LED chips.
- the existing conventional high-voltage Mini/Micro LED chip includes more than two small light-emitting units (cells), as shown in the cross-sectional view of the chip in Figure 1, each The cells are connected together through the bridge electrode 03. Due to the small area of each cell inside the chip, the heat dissipation paths of the Mini/Micro LED chip are reduced, and the heat dissipation performance is deteriorated.
- Mini/Micro LED backlight and display related products Poor thermal performance and poor mechanical performance are fatal problems for Mini/Micro LED backlight and display related products. If the heat dissipation performance of the Mini/Micro LED chip is not good, the heat generated by the Mini/Micro LED chip will accumulate inside it, which will increase the junction temperature of the Mini/Micro LED chip. An increase in junction temperature will further bring about problems such as reduced luminous efficiency of Mini/Micro LED chips, red-shifted luminous color, decreased forward voltage, and shortened lifespan. If the mechanical properties of the Mini/Micro LED chip are not good, the Mini/Micro LED chip will be easily broken, which will lead to the failure of the Mini/Micro LED chip.

随着显示技术的提高,人们对基于Mini/Micro LED的4K、8K等高性能的电视机(Television,TV)、显示器(Monitor,MNT)、笔记本电脑(NoteBookComputer,NB)和全彩显示屏等产品的需求越来越多。在实际应用中,已存在基于POG/POB(Package OnGlass/Board)、COB(Chip On Board)、COG(Chip On Glass)等不同封装形式的Mini/Micro LED背光和显示产品。
Mini/Micro LED芯片作为Mini/Micro LED产品核心发光器件,对其性能的要求越来越严苛。但是,目前的Mini/Micro LED芯片热量转换率仍然较高。以用于背光的高压Mini LED芯片为例,其有高达34%左右的电功率通过非复合辐射的方式转换成了热量。而对于小间距显示屏所用的4*8mil和3*6mil尺寸的RGBMini LED芯片,通过非复合辐射方式转换成热量的比例甚至可高达70%左右。因此,具备良好的散热性能对高压Mini/Micro LED芯片来说至关重要。
但是,有别于传统单颗低压Mini/Micro LED芯片,现有的常规高压Mini/Micro LED芯片其内部包括两个以上的小发光单元(cell),如图1所述的芯片截面图,各个cell之间通过桥接电极03连接在一起。由于芯片内部各个cell的面积较小,使得Mini/Micro LED芯片的散热路径变少,散热性能变 差。
更为糟糕的是,对于例如如图2所示的cell布局方式(cell以1*3形式串联而成),以及如图3所示的cell布局方式(cell以1*4形式串联而成),会存在一些cell完全架空在驱动基板02之上,Mini/Micro LED芯片01与驱动基板02焊接后,架空的cell与驱动基板02无接触,架空的cell无法得到支撑,使得Mini/Micro LED芯片不仅散热性能差,且机械强度也很差。
散热性能差和机械性能差对于Mini/Micro LED背光和显示相关产品来说是个致命的问题。如果Mini/Micro LED芯片的散热性能不佳,将使得Mini/Micro LED芯片在工作时所产生的热量在其内部聚集,会使得Mini/Micro LED芯片的结温升高。而结温升高,则会进一步带来Mini/Micro LED芯片发光效率降低、发光颜色发生红移、正向电压下降、寿命缩短等问题。如果Mini/Micro LED芯片的机械性能不佳,将使得Mini/Micro LED芯片容易断裂,从而导致Mini/Micro LED芯片失效。
基于上述现有技术,提出了本公开实施例的一种发光芯片及其制备方法、发光装置。
图4、图5和图6分别示出了本公开实施例的三种发光芯片1000的截面示意图,参照图4、图5和图6,该发光芯片1000包括:
图形化衬底10;
发光单元20,包括依次叠层形成在图形化衬底10上的电子注入层21、发光层22和空穴注入层23;
第一电极30和第二电极40,第一电极30与电子注入层21连接,第二电极40与空穴注入层23连接;
第一钝化层50,部分覆盖发光单元20、第一电极30和第二电极40,第一钝化层50包括第一开口51,发光单元20部分从第一开口51露出;
散热层60,覆盖第一钝化层50,以及发光单元20从第一钝化层50露出的部分。
其中,可选地,图形化衬底10可以是蓝宝石(Al
2O
3)材质,其上有间距为1~2μm的图形化结构,图形化结构可用于降低蓝宝石衬底的缺陷密度,提高晶体质量,从而提高发光芯片1000的出光效率。
参照图4、图5和图6,在一些实施例中,发光芯片1000具体还可以包括形成在图形化衬底10上的缓冲层70,通常可采用GaN材料制成,厚度可选为2μm作用,缓冲层70可用于改善蓝宝石衬底和GaN材料间的晶格常数失配。
参照图4、图5和图6,在一些实施例中,发光芯片1000具体还可以包括形成在电子注入层21上的超晶格层80,在一可选实施例中,超晶格层80可以包括2nm的InGaN和25nm的GaN组成的势垒/势阱对,共计6组势垒/势阱对,总厚度可选为
用于改善外延质量。
发光层22是发光芯片1000的发光区,可对载流子起约束作用。在一些实施例中,发光层22具体可以是多量子阱发光层,可包括3nm的InGaN和12nm的GaN组成的势垒/势阱对,共计9组势垒/势阱对,总厚度可选为
参照图4、图5和图6,在一些实施例中,发光芯片1000具体还可以包括形成在发光层22上的电子阻挡层90,可用于阻挡电子泄露到发光单元20的P区,提高发光复合区中电子和空穴的复合率。可选地,电子阻挡层90可采用InGaN制成,厚度可选为
第一电极30可以与电子注入层21连接,从而作为发光芯片1000的N电极。第二电极40可以与空穴注入层23连接,从而作为发光芯片1000的P电极。
第一钝化层50可用于隔离发光芯片1000内部除导通位置之外的位置,以防止发光芯片1000短路。第一钝化层50上设置有第一开口51,发光单元20部分从第一开口51露出,第一开口51可为发光单元20留出散热通道。
参照图4、图5和图6,可选地,发光单元20还包括形成在空穴注入层23上的电流扩展层110,电流扩展层110部分从第一钝化层50的第一开口51露出。其中,发光单元20的电流扩展层110部分露出第一钝化层50,从而可使发光单元20与散热层60形成直接接触,形成散热通道,有利于发光单元20的热量导出。
散热层60可用于发散发光芯片1000内部的热量,加快PN结各个位置的热量传输到外界的速度。
在本公开实施例中,可以在发光芯片1000内部引入散热层60,增加了发光芯片1000内部热量的散热通道,从而将发光芯片1000内部的温度快速导出,提高了发光芯片1000的散热性能,降低了模组的整体温度。同时,散热层60可作为发光芯片1000内部的高强度填充层,从而可以提升发光芯片1000的机械强度。
参照图4、图5和图6,可选地,发光芯片1000还可以包括:
光学调整层120,至少部分覆盖散热层60;
焊盘130,包括第一焊盘131和第二焊盘132,第一焊盘131通过光学调整层120和散热层60上的过孔与露出第一钝化层50的第一电极30连接,第二焊盘132通过光学调整层120和散热层60上的过孔与露出第一钝化层50的第二电极40连接,散热层60具有绝缘性。
光学调整层120可用于使得发光层22出射的光更多地反射到蓝宝石衬底上,从而提高光的提取率。在一些实施例中,光学调整层120可以包括分布式布拉格反射镜结构,可选地,分布式布拉格反射镜结构具体可以是TiOx和SiOx膜层交替堆叠的结构,共48层,总厚度可选为3.5μm左右。
焊盘130可用于将发光芯片1000的电极连接至驱动基板上对应的信号连接端,其中,第一焊盘131与发光芯片1000的N电极连接,第二焊盘132与发光芯片1000的P电极连接。光学调整层120和散热层60上都设置有过孔,用于焊盘可通过过孔与相应电极连接。由于焊盘与相应电极都需要电导通,因此,散热层60需要具有绝缘性,从而可以避免发光芯片1000短路。
具体地,每个焊盘具体可以包括焊盘连接部和焊盘本体,其中,焊盘连接部为焊盘嵌入光学调整层120和散热层60上过孔的部分,焊盘本***于焊盘连接部远离图形化衬底10的一侧,焊盘本体覆盖光学调整层120靠近过孔的边缘。
参照图4、图5和图6,可选地,发光芯片1000还包括:
散热端部140,设置在光学调整层120上,光学调整层120上设置有露出散热层60的第二开口121,散热端部140通过第二开口121与散热层60连接。
其中,散热端部140伸出发光芯片1000外部,可用于增加发光芯片1000 的散热通道,将发光芯片1000内部的热量更快速地扩散到发光芯片1000外部,进一步提高了发光芯片1000的散热性能。
可选地,在一些实施例中,第一开口51在图形化衬底10上的正投影与散热端部140在图形化衬底10上的正投影存在交叠。
其中,在发光芯片1000的叠层方向上,第一开口51与散热端部140存在交叠,也即散热端部140可设置在发光单元20的散热通道上方,如此,可缩短发光单元20的热量传递路径,从而使得发光单元20的热量能够尽快散发至发光芯片1000外部。
在一些实施例中,参照图4和图5,可选地,在发光芯片1000的叠层方向上,散热端部140超出光学调整层120的部分的高度小于或等于焊盘130超出光学调整层120的部分的高度。
由于发光芯片1000可通过焊盘130与驱动基板焊接,因此,散热端部140的高度应不超过焊盘130超出光学调整层120的部分的高度,也即散热端部140的高度应不超过焊盘本体的高度,从而可以保证焊盘130与驱动基板的正常焊接。
在一些实施例中,参照图4,可选地,散热端部140具有翅片结构。如此,可以增加散热端部140的散热面积。
在一种可选的实现方式中,参照图5,散热端部140可以嵌入第二开口121中。
在另一种可选的实现方式中,参照图4,散热端部140可以覆盖光学调整层120靠近第二开口121的边缘。
相较于第二种实现方式,在第一种实现方式中,在散热端部140与散热层60采用同种材料的情况下,散热端部140和散热层60所需的工艺步骤较少,工艺相对简单。
相较于第一二种实现方式,在第二种实现方式中,光学调整层120的铺设面积更大,可使发光芯片1000的光提取率更高。
可选地,发光芯片1000包括沿目标方向排布,且通过桥接电极150串联的至少三个发光单元20,第一电极30和第二电极40分别与靠近发光芯片1000两端的发光单元20连接,散热端部140在图形化衬底10上的正投影与靠近发光芯片1000两端的发光单元之间的至少一个发光单元在图形化衬底10上 的正投影存在交叠。
其中,目标方向为预设方向,在实际应用中可根据需求预设。串联的所有发光单元20都沿着目标方向设置,第一电极30和第二电极40分别与串联首尾位置(或尾首位置)的发光单元20连接。在现有技术中,在发光芯片1000与驱动基板焊接的情况下,第一焊盘131可以对第一电极30所连接发光单元20进行支撑,第二焊盘132可以对第二电极40所连接发光单元20进行支撑,但是首尾发光单元20之间的发光单元20,将会架空在驱动基板上,驱动基板无法对中间位置的发光单元20形成支撑。而在本公开实施例中,散热端部140在图形化衬底10上的正投影与靠近发光芯片1000两端的发光单元20之间的发光单元20在图形化衬底10上的正投影存在交叠,也即是在发光芯片1000的叠层方向上,散热端部140与中间位置的发光芯片1000存在交叠,如此,散热端部140通过高度设计可以与驱动基板抵接,从而对中间位置的发光单元20形成支撑,提高了发光芯片1000的机械强度。
当然,对于包括一个或两个发光单元20的发光芯片1000,也可以在发光芯片1000上设置散热端部140。
参照图7,示例性的示出了几种发光单元20的排布俯视图,其中,在一些发光芯片中,每个发光单元20在图形化衬底10上的正投影与焊盘130在图形化衬底10上的正投影均存在交叠,这样的发光芯片即为无架空的发光单元20的发光芯片。无架空的发光单元20的发光芯片与驱动基板组装后,不存在发光单元20完全架空在驱动基板之上。可以理解的是,对于无架空的发光单元的发光芯片1000,例如图7中的(1)、(4)、(5)和(6),可以选择不设置散热端部140,发光芯片1000的机械性能仍然可维持较好的水平。图7中的(2)和(3)所示的发光单元排布方式,则可以设置散热端部140,其中,图7的(2)和(3)中的虚线所圈出的发光单元20即为架空在驱动基板之上的发光单元。
在本公开实施例中,还可选地,在发光芯片1000的叠层方向上,散热层60的厚度最薄处大于或等于1.2μm,且小于或等于4微米。满足此厚度范围的散热层60,在起到散热作用的同时,还可作为桥接电极上方的高强度填充层,可以提高桥接位置的机械强度。
参照图4、图5和图6,还可选地,第一钝化层50可以包括:
图案化的第一钝化子层52,第一电极30与对应的发光单元20的电子注入层21通过第一钝化子层52上的过孔连接,第二电极40与对应的发光单元20的空穴注入层23通过第一钝化子层52上的过孔连接,桥接电极150设置在第一钝化子层52上,并通过第一钝化子层52上的过孔连接两个发光单元20;
图案化的第二钝化子层53,覆盖桥接电极150,第一开口51设置在第二钝化子层53上。
参照图4、图5和图6,桥接电极150设置在第一钝化子层52上,第一钝化子层52可用于将桥接电极150与发光单元20中可导电的膜层进行隔离,只保留发光单元20上需要与电极导通的位置。第二钝化子层53可用于隔离散热层60与桥接电极150,从而防止发光芯片1000短路。
参照图4、图5和图6,可选地,发光芯片1000还可以包括:
第二钝化层160,设置在光学调整层120和散热层60上焊盘130所在的过孔的侧壁上。
在一些实施例中,可以在光学调整层120和散热层60上焊盘130所在的过孔的侧壁上设置第二钝化层160,第二钝化层160可用于隔离焊盘连接部与过孔,从而使得散热层60与焊盘130、第一电极30、第二电极40之间不会形成直接接触,可避免发光单元20通过散热层60漏电,防止发光芯片1000短路。
可选地,在实际应用中,散热端部140的材料可以采用氮化铝(AlN)和碳化硅(SiC)中的至少一种,散热层60的材料也可以采用氮化铝和碳化硅中的至少一种。
AlN具备高达240W/(M·K)超高热导率、3.3~5.0(×10
-6/℃)的热膨胀系数,与发光芯片1000的热膨胀系数非常匹配,同时AlN熔点为2470℃,非常耐高温,且具备良好的绝缘性能、超高的强度性能和超高的耐腐蚀性能。
虽然AlN具备良好的绝缘性能,但因其与发光芯片1000内部具备电性导通的几乎所有膜层存在接触,因此,为了防止发光芯片1000出现漏电,可在 AlN导热层下方、焊盘周边都增加钝化层,以强化发光芯片1000的电学性能。所增加的钝化层也使得不仅AlN可以作为散热膜层,SiC、BeO等绝缘性不如AlN的材料也可以作为散热膜层,增加到发光芯片1000内部从而用于增加芯片的散热性能。若采用SiC,则需要制作较为致密的钝化层,以降低发光芯片1000的短路风险。而BeO则可依法在发光芯片1000产品中进行使用。
除上文一些膜层的示例性材料和厚度之外,以下再示例性地给出另一些膜层的材料及厚度。
钝化层均可以采用SiO2制成。桥接电极150、第一电极30和第二电极40,其结构均可为Ti/Al/Ti/Ni/Ti/Al/Ti/Pt/Au构成的金属叠层结构。其中,第一电极30和第二电极40的厚度可选为1.47μm左右,各金属层的厚度分别约为5/12/88/42/316/103/627/97/182nm。桥接电极150的厚度可选为1.45μm左右,各金属层的厚度分别约为3/5/86/42/312/98/623/93/189nm。电流扩展层110可采用ITO材料,厚度可选为
左右。焊盘连接部的结构可为Ti/Al/Ti/Pt、Au合金/Ni/Pt、Au合金构成的金属叠层结构,各金属层厚度分别为94/206/92/63/328/58nm。焊盘本体可采用的材料为Sn、Ag、Cu合金,各材料比例可为Sn-96.5%、Ag-3%、Cu-0.5%,焊盘本体的厚度可为8±0.8μm。
在现有技术中,通过变更基板材料(例如基板采用散热性能较好的陶瓷材料)或LED支架材料的散热方式,仅适用于POG封装形式的Mini/Micro LED产品,而不适用于COB和COG封装形式的Mini/Micro LED产品,这主要是因为COB和COG封装形式的基板材质固定,COB使用PCB或FPC基板,COG使用玻璃基板,散热性能趋于饱和,基本无改善空间,且无LED支架。目前,COB和COG的散热主要是通过增加温度传感器,在Mini/Micro LED面板达到预设温度后,通过强行降低电流,牺牲亮度和光学效果的手段降低热量。与上述现有技术相比,本公开实施例提供的发光芯片,无需增加任何外加器件,不需牺牲光学效果,便可达到很好的散热效果。
在本公开实施例中,可以在发光芯片1000内部引入散热层60,以及在发光芯片1000外部增加散热端部140。散热层60可以通过热传导方式对发光芯片1000内部的热量进行发散,另外,散热层60还可以提高发光单元20桥接位置的机械强度。散热端部140可以通过热辐射方式将发光芯片1000内部的热量传导至发光芯片1000外部,另外,散热端部140还可以对架空的发光单 元起到支撑作用。如此,使得发光芯片1000的散热性能和机械性能都得到了提高。
参照图8,示出了本公开实施例的一种发光芯片1000的制备方法的步骤流程图,该制备方法用于制备上述发光芯片1000,该制备方法包括以下步骤:
步骤801:在图形化衬底上依次叠层形成电子注入层、发光层和空穴注入层,以得到发光单元。
在本步骤中,首先可以通过例如MOCVD(Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition,金属有机化学气相沉积)工艺在PSS衬底上顺次生长缓冲层70、电子注入层21、超晶格层80、发光层22、电子阻挡层90、空穴注入层23和电流扩展层110,之后,通过例如光刻、刻蚀等工艺进行过孔以及厚度较大位置的隔离槽刻蚀,从而得到发光单元20,如图9所示。
步骤802:图案化形成第一钝化层、第一电极和第二电极;第一电极与电子注入层连接,第二电极与空穴注入层连接,第一钝化层部分覆盖发光单元、第一电极和第二电极,第一钝化层包括第一开口,发光单元部分从第一开口露出。
参照图10,图案化形成第一钝化子层52,并露出需要的位置。
参照图11,图案化形成第一电极30、第二电极40和桥接电极150。
参照图12,图案化形成第二钝化子层53,并露出需要的位置,得到第一钝化层50。
步骤803:形成散热层;散热层覆盖第一钝化层,以及发光单元从第一钝化层露出的部分。
在一种可选的实施方式中,形成散热层之后,还包括:
形成光学调整层;光学调整层上设置有露出散热层的第二开口,散热层包括嵌入第二开口中的部分;
在光学调整层上形成散热端部;散热端部覆盖光学调整层靠近第二开口的边缘,散热端部与散热层嵌入第二开口中的部分连接。
其中,参照图13至16,在一些实施例中,参照图13,依次形成散热材料层以及光学调整材料层,再图案化形成散热层60和光学调整层120,其中,散热层60包括嵌入第二开口121中的部分。参照图14,在需要设置焊盘连接 部的过孔侧壁上形成第二钝化层160。参照图15,形成焊盘连接部。参照图16,形成焊盘本体。
之后,可以在光学调整层120上形成散热端部140,其中,散热端部140与散热层60嵌入第二开口121中的部分连接,得到如图4所示的发光芯片1000。
在另一种可选的实施方式中,形成散热层之后,还包括:
形成光学调整层;光学调整层上设置有露出散热层的第二开口;
在从第二开口露出的散热层上形成散热端部。
其中,参照图17,在一些实施例中,形成散热层60、光学调整层120、第二钝化层160、焊盘连接部和焊盘本体的过程与上述实施例基本相同,不同的是,散热层60不包括嵌入第二开口121中的部分。
之后,可以在从第二开口121露出的散热层60上形成散热端部140,其中,散热端部140位于第二开口121中,得到如图5所示的发光芯片1000。
此外,参照图18,在另一些实施例中,形成散热层60、光学调整层120、第二钝化层160、焊盘连接部和焊盘本体的过程与上述实施例基本相同,不同的是,光学调整层120不包括开口121。之后,也不再形成散热端部140,从而可以得到如图6所示的发光芯片1000。
可选地,在光学调整层上形成散热端部之后,还可以包括以下步骤:对散热端部140激光刻蚀,以在散热端部140上形成翅片结构。如此,可以增加散热端部140的散热面积。
制成发光芯片1000后,参照图19,可以通过研磨将蓝宝石衬底的厚度减薄,进而参照图20,将整片晶片镭射切割为单一晶粒。然后,可以对晶粒进行光电特性测试、按照规格分类,以及人工目检。其中,参照图21,光电特性测试也即通过点测设备对每个晶粒进行光电特性的测试,参照图22,按照规格分类也即根据晶粒的光电参数,将晶粒分类为不同的规格,参照图23,人工目检也即人工去除外观不良的晶粒。
此外,该制备方法还可以包括其他的常规步骤,本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
在本公开实施例中,可以在发光芯片1000内部形成散热层60,增加了发光芯片1000内部热量的散热通道,从而将发光芯片1000内部的温度快速导 出,提高了发光芯片1000的散热性能,降低了显示装置的整体温度。同时,散热层60可作为发光芯片1000内部的高强度填充层,从而可以提升发光芯片1000的机械强度。
本公开实施例还公开了一种发光装置,包括上述发光芯片1000。
其中,参照图24和图25,发光装置还包括驱动基板2000,驱动基板2000包括第一连接端2001和第二连接端2002,发光芯片1000包括第一焊盘131和第二焊盘132,第一焊盘131与第一连接端2001连接,第二焊盘132与第二连接端2002连接。其中,第一连接端2001和第二连接端2002具体可以是焊盘。
驱动基板2000可以包括两种,一种是如图24所示的封闭式连接端的驱动基板,另一种是如图25所示的开放式连接端的驱动基板。
对于图24所示的封闭式连接端的驱动基板,驱动基板2000还包括位于第一连接端2001与第二连接端2002之间的封闭结构2003,封闭结构2003用于封闭驱动基板2000上从第一连接端2001与第二连接端2002之间露出的膜层。
而对于图25所示的开放式连接端的驱动基板,第一连接端2001与第二连接端2002之间不存在封闭结构2003。
对于图24所示的封闭式连接端的驱动基板,在发光芯片1000包括散热端部140的情况下,散热端部140可以与封闭结构2003抵接。
对于图25所示的开放式连接端的驱动基板,在发光芯片1000包括散热端部140的情况下,散热端部140可以与从第一连接端2001与第二连接端2002之间露出的膜层适当保留一些距离。
当然,对于不包括散热端部140的发光芯片1000,也可以搭配封闭式连接端的驱动基板和开放式连接端的驱动基板,从而形成发光装置。
在本公开实施例中,可以在发光芯片1000内部形成散热层60,增加了发光芯片1000内部热量的散热通道,从而将发光芯片1000内部的温度快速导出,提高了发光芯片1000的散热性能,降低了显示装置的整体温度。同时,散热层60可作为发光芯片1000内部的高强度填充层,从而可以提升发光芯片1000的机械强度。
