200913311 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係有關於一種發光二極體結構,尤指關於一 種在基板上自然形成一餘刻遮罩,透過選擇性钱勉, 形成不同凹凸面的不規則幾何形狀於該基板表面,藉 由該凹凸面改變半導體層之光波導方向,提高外部量 子效率的發光二極體及其製造方法。 【先前技術】 為了實現固態照明,開發以及改善發光二極體之發光 效率便成為當務之急。改善發光二極體之發光效率的方式 可分成兩部分:其一為提高發光二極體的内部量子效率; 其二為增加發光二極體之光萃取效率(光取出率)。 在内部量子效率方面’改善蟲晶材料品質對於内部量 子效率有最直接且明顯的提升,其中一種側向成長技術 (Epitaxial Lateral Overgrowth ; ELOG)可改善磊晶材料 品質,主要是利用側向再成長氮化鎵層於二氧化矽條紋圖 案化之基板上’以減少穿透位錯(Threading Dislocation) 之缺陷,進而提升内部量子效率。 另一種技術係美國專利US6,870,193所揭露的橫向磊 晶法(Lateral Epitaxial Pattern Substrate ; LEPS),該技術利 用乾式或濕式蝕刻的方式來進行基板上圖案樣式的蝕 刻,達到與ELOG類似的效果,其好處不僅製程容易,而 且可以降低磊晶成長的時間。利用此方法能有效地降低氮 化鎵層中的穿透位錯(Threading Dislocation),能有效提 升發光二極體的發光效率。 在光萃取效率方面,因為一般半導體材料與封裝材料 200913311 的折射率相差甚多’使得全反射角小,所以發光二極體所 產生的光到達與空氣的界面時,大於臨界角的光將產生全 反射回到發光二極體晶粒内部。光子在交界面離開半導體 的機率變小,讓光子只能在内部全反射直到被吸收殆盡, 使光轉成熱的形式,造成發光效果不佳。 因此,改變基板的幾何形狀是一個有效提升發光效率 的方法一在光萃取效率方面。根據美國專利US6,870,193, 該案所揭露的技術係一種具備凹部及/或凸部結構形成於 基板之半導體發光元件,相較於平坦基板情況下,此種結 構的光在半導體層的橫方向傳播時,光可藉由凹部或凸部 產生散射或繞射效果,可大幅提高外部量子效率。此外, 於基板的凹部及/或凸部結構處,透過侧向成長技術,可降 低氣化鎵層的穿透位錯,同時提升發光二極體之内部量子 效率。 但是,該技術對於基板製備成具有凹部或凸部幾何 形狀之方法,係先形成一鈍化層結構於基板上方,再利 用使用黃光微影方式,圖案定義出凹部或凸部幾何形狀 之外形,再利用乾蝕刻或濕蝕刻方式對基板蝕刻出凹部 或凸部結構。此種製造過程較為繁瑣,亦會增加成本, 相當不符合發光二極體的商業應用。 【發明内容】 於是為解決上述之缺失,本發明係提供一種發光二極 體之結構及其製造方法,其表面自然形成一化學反應層, 以化學反應層為自然蝕刻遮罩,透過濕蝕刻或乾蝕刻法, 形成不同凹凸面的不規則幾何形狀於該基板表面上,同時 挺升發光二極體之外部篁子欵率以及内部量子效率。 200913311 本發明的發光二極體的製造方法,至少包括:先提供 一基板,該基板係為藍寶石(Al2〇3)、碳化矽(Sic)、矽(Si)、 砷化鎵(GaAs)和氮化鋁(A1N)、氮化鎵(GaN)基板其中之 一。,將該基板放置於一第一溶液内進行反應,使其表面自 然形成一化學反應層,然後以該化學反應層11〇作為遮 罩,對該基板100進行乾式蝕刻法、濕式蝕刻法及其混合 使用法其中之一的選擇性蝕刻,使該基板上方無該化學反 應層之處形成複數具有凹部與上方有該化學反應層的凸 部。再將該基板放置於一第二溶液内蝕刻,除去該化學反 應層,形成具有該些凹部與凸部的高度差為微米至Μ 微米的不,則幾何形狀於該基板表面,且將該基板表面清 潔乾淨。最後於該基板表面上形成一半導體發光結構,且 利用側向成長磊晶技術使該半導體發光結構填平前述的 凹部且無任何孔洞形成。 其中,該第一溶液和第二溶液係為酸性溶液族群、鹼 性溶液族群至少一材料及其族群之組合其中之一。該酸性 溶液族群係氫氟酸(HF)、硫酸(HJO4)、鹽酸(HC1)、磷酸 (H3P〇4)、硝酸(ΗΝ〇3)、王水(Aqua regia)、二氧化矽蝕刻 劑(Buffered Oxide Etch,BOE)、鋁蝕刻液㈧ Etcham)、過 氧化氫(Η"2)、甲酸(hcooh)、乙酸(CH3C00H)、丁二酸 (C4H6〇4)及檸檬酸(Citric Acid)。該鹼性溶液族群係氫氧化 鉀(KOH)、氫氧化納(Na0H)、氫氧化舞(Ca(〇H)2)、氫氧化 敍(顧4〇印、氫氧化四甲基敍溶液(tetramethylamm〇nium hydroxide,TMAH)。而該基板放置於該第一溶液與該第二 溶液的時間係為1秒鐘至200分鐘。 其中,該半導體發光結構係依序磊晶結合至少一 n型 200913311 活性層與至少一p型半導體層,其中該活性 "為發先區形成於該半導體層與該P型半導體層之 間且該P型半導體層與一 p型歐姆接觸電極電性連接, 該η型半導體層與—n型歐姆接觸電極 電性連接,用以提 供一順向偏壓。 j基板在置入該第—溶液前進一步尚可包括一預先 處理製程。該縣處理製程包括成長—厚度為iAi 基板表面上,再將該基板置人該第一溶液。 ”材料可為矽、氮化矽、氧化石夕、氧化紹、金 苯環丁烯、聚亞醯胺之單層、多層結構 及其所組合之族群之—。 円索對祕化層進—步經由黃絲f彡製程週期性 Θ /、 露部份該基板表面,再將該基板置入該第一溶 液。/、中該鈍化層的週期性圖案為圓形、多邊行及其 之門週期性圖案,週期性圖案的寬度為0.1微米至1、5 微未’間距為0.1微米至15微米。 鈍化層進—步經由黃光微影製程週期性 ’對該基板外露的表面進行侧形成複數個凹 槽’且除去魏化層後,再㈣基板置人該第—溶液,使 該基板的表面凹凸更明顯。 該預先處理製程也可以是成長一厚度為1Α至10μ1η 的磊晶層於該基板表面上,再將該基板置入該第一溶液。 其中該磊晶層材料為包含氮化鎵、氮化銦、氮化鋁及宜 所混和組合材料之族群之一。 ' 也可以對該磊晶層進一步經由黃光微影製程週期性 圖案化,外露部份該基板表面,再將該基板置入該第一溶 200913311 液。其中該磊晶層的週期性圖案為圓形、多邊行及其 組合之週期性圖案’週期性圖案的寬度為〇1微米至 15微米,間距為0.〗微米至15微米。 經由上述方法所形成的發光二極體之結構,其包括該 基板該基板具有触卿成凹部與凸部的不^幾何^ 狀,以及;5« ΘΒ形成於前述基板的表面的該半導體發社 構、,該半導體發光結構係依序蟲晶結合該η型半導體層、° =活f生層與該ρ型半導體層,其中該活性層作為發光區形 f於該11型半導體層與該P型半導體層之間,且該p型半 導體層與該p型歐姆接觸電極電性連接’該〇型半導體芦 與該η型歐姆接觸電極電性連接,用以提供 : 且該η型半導體層填平前述的凹部與凸部 ^ 體層無任何孔洞形成。 制4牛導 料ίΐ:該凹部與凸部的高度差為0·1微米至15微米。 ;其^2雙異f接面構造、單量子井結構及多量子井 自然於穎製程方式… 逆化學反應層為自然韻刻 遮罩透過濕蝕刻或乾蝕刻法,形 則幾何形狀於該A柘矣品·^丄个u凹凸面的不規 對發光精該些凹部與凸部結構 導部光的散射、繞射效果,可減少半 射的二ί之界面中的光橫向傳播的情況,減少全反 凸面的不規則幾何形狀於該=上方1 升内V量子::透位錯’提升磊晶材料的品質,進而提 。子效率。且本發明因為製成簡單,可降低生產 200913311 成本,適合產業大量生產。 【實施方式】 兹有關本發明之詳細内容及技術說明,現以實施例 來作進一步說明,但應瞭解的是,該等實施例僅為例示 说明之用’而不應被解釋為本發明實施之限制。 第一實施例: 請參閱第1圖至第5圖所示’為本發明之第一實施例 的示意圖。本發明的製造方法至少包括:首先提供一基板 100 ’该基板100係為藍寶石、碳化;^、碎、;5申化鎵和氮 化鋁基板其中之一(如第1圖所示)。 然後將該基板100放置於一第一溶液内進行反應,使 該基板100表面自然形成一高密度奈米等級的化學反應層 110。該基板100放置於該第一溶液的時間係為1秒至2⑻ 分鐘’然後以該化學反應層110作為遮罩,對該基板100 進行選擇性姓刻,可使用係乾式餘刻法、濕式银刻法及其 混合使用法其中之一的選擇性钱刻,使該基板1〇〇表面無 該化學反應層110之處形成複數凹部120與上方有該化學 反應層110的凸部130(如第2圖所示)。 以該基板1〇〇是藍寶石基板(ai2o3)為例(以下說明 該基板100都以藍寶石基板(A1203)為說明例),將藍寶 石基板(Al2〇3)放置於硫酸(H2S〇4) (96%)中(以硫酸做 為第一溶液),液體溫度約25〜400 °C,反應時間從1秒至 200分鐘,該基板100的表面會形成高密度奈米等級的該 化學反應層 no (ai2(so4)3 或 A12(S04) · 17H20 等)。然後 以該化學反應層110作為遮罩,對該基板1〇〇進行乾蝕刻 200913311 法或濕姓刻法的選擇性蝕刻。 ' 以濕式餘刻藍寶石基板(Al2〇3)為例,可使其表面形 成凹部120與凸部13〇。又以改變藍寶石基板在第一溶液 如硫酸(H2S〇4)的钱刻時間為例,從2.5分鐘至20分鐘, 該基板100可以形成不同的平均姓刻深度(average etching deeP)平均顆粒大小(average grain size),密度(density), 以及表面粗糙度根均方值(RMS roughness)的基板100。 經由原子力顯微鏡觀察基板100表面,整理如下表: 蝕刻時間 (min) 平均深度 (um) 平均顆粒 大小(um) 密 度 (1/um2) 表面粗 度根均方 值(nm) 2.5 0.360 5.36 0.0092 106.24 5.0 0.683 6.04 0.0096 207.30 10.0 1.759 12.30 0.0108 471.15 20.0 2.351 15.03 0.0080 700.77 再將被蝕刻後的基板1〇〇放置於一第二溶液内蝕刻, 用以除去該化學反應層110,形成具有凹部12〇與凸部13〇 的不規則幾何形狀於該基板1〇〇表面(如第3圖所示)。以 該第二溶液為磷酸(H3P〇4)為說明例,該磷酸溫度為25。〇 至400°C ’該基板1〇〇放置於該第二溶液的時間係為〇」 分鐘至200分鐘’以將該化學反應層11()去除乾淨為主, 且將該基板100表面清潔乾淨。 最後於該基板100表面上形成一半導體發光結構 200,該半導體發光結構200係依序磊晶結合至少一 η型 11 200913311 半導體層210、一活性層220與至少一 p型半導體層23〇(如 第4圖所示)。其中該活性層22〇做為發光區形成於該n 型半導體層210與該ρ型半導體層23〇之間,且該ρ型半 導體層230與一 ρ型歐姆接觸電極231電性連接,該η型 半導體層210透過一接觸窗240與一 η型歐姆接觸電極211 電性連接,用以提供一順向偏壓(如第5圖所示)。 經由上述方法所形成的發光二極體之結構,其包括該 基=100,該基板1〇〇具有被蝕刻形成複數個凹部12〇與 凸部130的不規則幾何形狀;以及磊晶形成於前述基板1〇〇 的表面的該半導體發光結構2〇〇,該半導體發光結構2〇〇 係依序磊晶結合該η型半導體層21〇、該活性層22〇與該 Ρ型半導體層230。 ’ 其中該活性層220做為發光區形成於該η型半導體層 21〇與該ρ型半導體層230之間,且該ρ型半導體層23〇 與該Ρ型歐姆接觸電極231電性連接,該η型半導體層21〇 透過該接觸窗240與該!!型歐姆接觸電極211電性連接, 用以提供一順向偏壓。且該η型半導體層21〇填平前述的 凹部120與凸部13〇 ’使該η型半導體層21〇無任何孔洞 形成。而該凹部⑽)與凸部的高度差為G1微米至15微 f。該活性層220係為雙異質接面構造、單量子井結構及 夕量子井結構其中之一。 本發明係利用側向成長蟲晶技術,經由改變半導體層 ^蟲晶溫度及壓力達成側向成長速度高於縱向成長速 =可使該半導體發光結構2〇〇中厚度較厚的η型半導體 曰210填平則述的凹部12〇將該基板1⑼表面的該些凹部 〇 ”凸4 13G的落差填平’使該基板1GG表面的該些凹 12 200913311 部120與凸部130結構無任何孔洞形成,可得到高品質低 穿透位錯(Threading Dislocation)的蟲晶材料。例如成長 氮化鎵(約3.5 um)做為該η型半導體層210填平前述的 凹部120將該基板100表面的凹部120與凸部130,該基 板100表面的該些凹部120與凸部130經由EPD( Etching pits density)、PL(Photoluminescence)、XRD 量測分析整 理如下表:200913311 IX. INSTRUCTIONS: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode structure, and more particularly to a natural mask formed on a substrate, which is formed by selective moting to form different concave and convex surfaces. The irregular geometry is on the surface of the substrate, and the light-emitting diode of the semiconductor layer is changed by the uneven surface to improve the external quantum efficiency and the method of manufacturing the same. [Prior Art] In order to realize solid-state lighting, it is imperative to develop and improve the luminous efficiency of a light-emitting diode. The manner of improving the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting diode can be divided into two parts: one is to increase the internal quantum efficiency of the light-emitting diode; the other is to increase the light extraction efficiency (light extraction rate) of the light-emitting diode. In terms of internal quantum efficiency, 'improving the quality of insect crystal materials has the most direct and obvious improvement of internal quantum efficiency. One of the Epitaxial Lateral Overgrowth (ELOG) can improve the quality of epitaxial materials, mainly by using lateral growth. The gallium nitride layer is on the chopper striped patterned substrate to reduce defects in threading dislocation, thereby improving internal quantum efficiency. Another technique is the Lateral Epitaxial Pattern Substrate (LEPS) disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,870,193, which utilizes dry or wet etching to etch pattern patterns on a substrate to be similar to ELOG. The effect, not only the process is easy, but also can reduce the time of epitaxial growth. By using this method, the Threading Dislocation in the gallium nitride layer can be effectively reduced, and the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting diode can be effectively improved. In terms of light extraction efficiency, since the refractive index of the general semiconductor material and the packaging material 200913311 are much different, the total reflection angle is small, so when the light generated by the light-emitting diode reaches the interface with the air, light larger than the critical angle will be generated. Total reflection back into the interior of the luminescent diode die. The probability that a photon will leave the semiconductor at the interface becomes smaller, so that the photon can only be totally reflected inside until it is absorbed, and the light is converted into a hot form, resulting in poor illumination. Therefore, changing the geometry of the substrate is a method for effectively improving the luminous efficiency in terms of light extraction efficiency. According to U.S. Patent No. 6,870,193, the disclosure of the present application is a semiconductor light-emitting device having a recessed portion and/or a convex portion formed on a substrate. In the case of a flat substrate, the light of such a structure is in the lateral direction of the semiconductor layer. When propagating, light can be scattered or diffracted by concave or convex portions, which can greatly improve external quantum efficiency. In addition, through the lateral growth technique at the concave portion and/or the convex portion structure of the substrate, the threading dislocation of the gallium hydride layer can be reduced, and the internal quantum efficiency of the light-emitting diode can be improved. However, the method for preparing a substrate having a concave or convex geometry is to first form a passivation layer structure on the substrate, and then use a yellow lithography method to define a concave or convex geometric shape and reuse the pattern. The substrate is etched into a recess or a convex structure by dry etching or wet etching. This manufacturing process is cumbersome and will increase the cost, and is quite incompatible with the commercial application of the light-emitting diode.
