In the description of the embodiments, it will be understood that, when a layer (or film), a region, a pattern, or a structure is referred to as being “on” or “under” another substrate, another layer (or film), another region, another pad, or another pattern, it can be “directly” or “indirectly” on the other substrate, layer (or film), region, pad, or pattern, or one or more intervening layers may also be present. Such a position of the layer has been described with reference to the drawings.
In the description about the embodiment, the thickness or the size of elements shown in the accompanying drawings are for an illustrative purpose only, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
Hereinafter, the embodiment will be described with respect to accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a semiconductor light emitting device 100 according to the embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 1, the semiconductor light emitting device 100 according to the embodiment includes a light emitting structure 110, a first electrode layer 119, a first isolation layer 120, a metal layer 122, a second isolation layer 124, a second electrode layer 130, and a conductive support member 140.
The light emitting structure 110 includes a first conductive semiconductor layer 111, an active layer 113, and a second conductive semiconductor layer 115. The active layer 113 is interposed between the first and second conductive semiconductor layers 111 and 115.
The first conductive semiconductor layer 111 may be realized by using at least one semiconductor layer doped with first conductive dopants. For example, the first conductive semiconductor layer 111 may be realized by using a group III-V compound semiconductor. In other words, the first conductive semiconductor layer 111 may be formed of at least one of GaN, InN, AlN, InGaN, AlGaN, InAlGaN, and AlInN. If the first conductive semiconductor layer 111 is an N-type semiconductor layer, the first conductive dopant may be an N-type dopant. For example, the N-type dopant may be selected from among V-group elements.
The first conductive semiconductor layer 111 may be disposed thereon with the first electrode layer 119 having a predetermined pattern. In addition, concave-convex shape roughness may be formed on a portion of a top surface of the first conductive semiconductor layer 111 or the entire portion of the top surface of the first conductive semiconductor layer 111.
The active layer 113 is disposed below the first conductive semiconductor layer 111. The active layer 113 may have a single quantum well (SQW) structure or a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure. The active layer 113 may be formed at a cycle of a well layer and a barrier layer by using group III-V compound semiconductor materials. For example, the active layer 113 may be formed at a cycle of an InGaN well layer/GaN barrier layer or an AlGaN well layer/GaN barrier layer.
The active layer 113 includes a material having a band-gap energy corresponding to the wavelength of light to be emitted. For example, if blue light having a wavelength in the range of 460 nm to 470 nm is emitted, the active layer 113 may be formed in the SQW structure or the MQW structure at a cycle of the InGaN well layer/GaN barrier layer. For example, the active layer 113 may be realized to emit light in a visible ray region having blue, red, and green wavelengths. In addition, the active layer 113 may be realized to emit light in an ultraviolet ray region.
A conductive clad layer may be disposed above and/or below the active layer 113. For example, the conductive clad layer may include an AlGaN layer.
The second conductive semiconductor layer 115 may be disposed below the active layer 113. The second conductive semiconductor layer 115 may be realized by using at least one semiconductor layer doped with second conductive dopants. For example, the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 may be realized by using a group III-V compound semiconductor. In other words, the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 may be formed of at least one of GaN, InN, AlN, InGaN, AlGaN, InAlGaN, and AlInN. If the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 is a P-type semiconductor layer, the second conductive dopant may be a P-type dopant. For example, the P-type dopant may be selected from among group III elements.
A third conductive semiconductor layer (not shown) may be additionally disposed below the second conductive semiconductor layer 115. If the conductive semiconductor layer 111 is a P-type semiconductor layer, the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 may be realized as an N-type semiconductor layer. The third conductive semiconductor layer may be realized as a semiconductor layer doped with P-type dopants. The light emitting structure 110 may include one of an N-P junction structure, a P-N junction structure, an N-P-N junction structure, and a P-N-P junction structure.
Hereinafter, for the purpose of explanation, description will be made regarding a case in which the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 is formed as the lowermost layer of the light emitting structure 110.
The first isolation layer 120 and the second electrode layer 130 are disposed below the second conductive semiconductor layer 115.
An inner portion of the first isolation layer 120 is formed along an outer peripheral portion of the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 below the second conductive semiconductor layer 115. An outer portion of the first isolation layer 120 extends outward below the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 and is exposed along an outer region 118 of the light emitting structure 110.
The first isolation layer 120 may be formed in the form of a frame by using a conductive transmissive material having light transmittance or an insulating material. The first isolation layer 120 is formed along a lower portion of the second conductive semiconductor layer 115.
The first isolation layer 120 may be formed of a conductive transmissive material such as ITO, IZO, IZTO, IAZO, IGZO, IGTO, AZO, or ATO. The first isolation layer 120 may include a metal oxide such as a transparent conductive oxide (TCO).
If the first isolation layer 120 includes a conductive transmissive material, the first isolation layer 120 transmits a laser beam irradiated in a mesa etching process. Accordingly, when the laser beam is irradiated, an outer portion of the light emitting structure 110 is not damaged, so that light emitting efficiency can be improved.
The first isolation layer 120 may be formed of an insulating material such as SiO2, SiOx, SiOxNy, Si3N4, Al2O3, or TiO2. According to the embodiment, the first isolation layer 120 spaces the conductive support member 140 apart from the light emitting structure 110. The first isolation layer 120 can increase the adhesive strength with the second conductive semiconductor layer 115.
The metal layer 122 may be formed below the first isolation layer 120. The metal layer 122 may be formed of at least one layer made of metal having a high reflective index, in which the metal may be selected from the group consisting of Ag, Ni, Al, Rh, Pd, Ir, Ru, Mg, Zn, Pt, Au, Hf, and the combination thereof.
The second isolation layer 124 may be disposed below the metal layer 122. The second isolation layer 124 may be formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of ITO, IZO, IZTO, IAZO, IGZO, IGTO, AZO, ATO, SiO2, SiOx, SiOxNy, Si3N4, Al2O3, TiO2. The first isolation layer 120 and the second isolation layer 124 may include the same material or different materials.
The first isolation layer 120 may be thicker than the second isolation layer 124. The first isolation layer 120 may be thicker than the second electrode layer 130. In addition, the first isolation layer 120, the metal layer 122, the second isolation layer 124, and the second electrode layer 130 may have various thicknesses and the relative thickness thereof may be changed. For example, the second isolation layer 124 may be thicker than the first isolation layer 120.
According to the embodiment, the first isolation layer 120, the metal layer 122, and the second isolation layer 124 may be formed in-situ by using one equipment. In addition, the metal layer 122 is interposed between the first and second isolation layers 120 and 124, so that an inter-layer adhesive strength can be improved, thereby preventing delamination.
The second electrode layer 130 may be disposed below the light emitting structure 110. In detail, the second electrode layer 130 may be disposed below an inner portion of the light emitting structure 110. The second electrode layer 130 may be formed of at least one layer made of at least one selected from the group consisting of Ag, Ni, Al, Rh, Pd, Ir, Ru, Mg, Zn, Pt, Au, Hf, and the combination thereof.
Since the second electrode layer 130 is not integrated with the metal layer 122, the second electrode layer 130 and the metal layer 122 can be prevented from interfering with each other due to thermal expansion.
An ohmic layer (not shown) may be formed between the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 and the second electrode layer 130. An ohmic layer (not shown) may be formed to have a predetermined pattern. The pattern of the ohmic layer may have the shape of a matrix, a cross, a polygon, or a circle. For example, the ohmic layer may be formed of ITO, IZO, IZTO, IAZO, IGZO, IGTO, AZO, or ATO. The ohmic layer may include a conductive oxide or metal. For example, the ohmic layer may be realized in a single layer structure or a multiple layer structure by using at least one of ITO, IZO, IZTO, IAZO, IGZO, IGTO, AZO, ATO, GZO, IrOx, RuOx, RuOx/ITO, Ni, Ag, Ni/IrOx/Au, and Ni/IrOx/Au/ITO.
The conductive support member 140 may be disposed below the second electrode layer 130. The conductive support member 140 is a base substrate. The conductive support member 140 may be realized by using Cu, Au, Ni, Mo, Cu—W, or a carrier wafer including a material such as Si, Ge, GaA, ZnO, SiC, GaN, SiGe, or Ga2O3. The conductive support member 140 may be realized by using a conductive sheet. The conductive support member 140 may be bonded or prepared as a plated layer. In addition, the conductive support member 140 may be attached as a conductive sheet.
FIGS. 2 to 9 are sectional views showing the manufacturing process of the semiconductor light emitting device according to the embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 2, the first conductive semiconductor layer 111 is formed on a substrate 101. The active layer 113 is formed on the first conductive semiconductor layer 111, and the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 is formed on the active layer 113.
The substrate 101 may include one selected from the group consisting of Al2O3, GaN, SiC, ZnO, Si, GaP, InP, and GaAs. A predetermined concave-convex pattern may be formed on the substrate 101. The substrate 101 may be disposed thereon with another semiconductor layer such as a buffer layer and/or an undoped semiconductor layer, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
The first semiconductor layer 111 may be realized as an N-type semiconductor layer. In this case, the second semiconductor layer 115 may be realized as a P-type semiconductor layer. In contrast, the first semiconductor layer 111 may be realized as a P-type semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer 115 may be realized as an N-type semiconductor layer.
An additional semiconductor layer such as a buffer layer and/or an undoped semiconductor layer may be formed between the substrate 101 and the first conductive semiconductor layer 111. After thin film growth, the additional layer may be separated or removed from the structure.
Referring to FIG. 3, the first isolation layer 120 is formed on an outer peripheral portion of the second conductive semiconductor layer 115. The first isolation layer 120 may be formed through a photolithography process. The first isolation layer 120 is formed in the form of a frame at the outer peripheral portion of the second conductive semiconductor layer 115. The first isolation layer 120 may be disposed in the form of a frame at an edge area of the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 in each chip.
The first isolation layer 120 may be formed of a material selected from ITO, IZO, IZTO, IAZO, IGZO, IGTO, AZO, ATO, SiO2, SiOx, SiOxNy, Si3N4, Al2O3, and TiO2.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the metal layer 122 is formed on the first isolation layer 120, and the second isolation layer 124 is formed on the metal layer 122.
The first isolation layer 120, the metal layer 122, and the second isolation layer 124 are sequentially stacked on each other. In this case, the first isolation layer 120, the metal layer 122, and the second isolation layer 124 are sequentially formed through an in-situ process in the same chamber. The first isolation layer 120, the metal layer 122, and the second isolation layer 124 have a thickness of a few μms or a few tens of μms or less.
The metal layer 122 may be formed of at least one layer made of a material selected from the group consisting of Ag, Ni, Al, Rh, Pd, Ir, Ru, Mg, Zn, Pt, Au, Hf, and the combination thereof.
The metal layer 122 may be formed between a plurality of isolation layers 120 and 124. Accordingly, the first and second isolation layers 120 and 124 can reduce thermal expansion of the metal layer 122. Therefore, delamination can be prevented from occurring at an outer peripheral portion of a chip when a chip separating process is performed. In addition, the metal layer 122 is formed through an in-situ process while forming the first isolation layer 120, thereby improving an adhesive strength.
Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the second electrode layer 130 is formed on an inner portion of the second conductive semiconductor layer 115, and the conductive support member 140 is formed on the second electrode layer 130.
The second electrode layer 130 and the conductive support member 140 serve as a second electrode that is a conductive layer. An ohmic layer (not shown) having a predetermined pattern may be formed between the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 and the second electrode layer 130. The ohmic layer may be formed of ITO, IZO, IZTO, IAZO, IGZO, IGTO, AZO, or ATO. In other words, the ohmic layer may include a conductive oxide or metal. For example, the ohmic layer may be realized in a single layer structure or a multiple layer structure by using at least one of ITO, IZO, IZTO, IAZO, IGZO, IGTO, AZO, ATO, GZO, IrOx, RuOx, RuOx/ITO, Ni, Ag, Ni/IrOx/Au, and Ni/IrOx/Au/ITO.
The second electrode layer 130 may have a structure including at least one layer made of a material selected from the group consisting of Ag, Ni, Al, Rh, Pd, Ir, Ru, Mg, Zn, Pt, Au, Hf, and the combination thereof. The conductive support member 140 is a base substrate. The conductive support member 140 may be realized by using Cu, Au, Ni, Mo, Cu—W, or a carrier wafer including a material such as Si, Ge, GaA, ZnO, SiC, GaN, SiGe, or Ga2O3. The conductive support member 140 may be realized by using a conductive sheet. The conductive support member 140 may be bonded or prepared as a plated layer. In addition, the conductive support member 140 may be attached as a conductive sheet.
Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the substrate 101 is removed from the first conductive semiconductor layer 111. For example, the substrate 101 may be removed through a laser lift off (LLO) process. That is, a laser beam having a predetermined wavelength band is irradiated onto the substrate 101, so that thermal energy is concentrated onto the boundary between the substrate 101 and the first conductive semiconductor layer 111, thereby separating the substrate 101 from the first conductive semiconductor layer 111. The substrate 101 may be separated through another scheme. For example, when a different semiconductor layer such as a buffer layer is interposed between the substrate 101 and the first conductive semiconductor layer 111, wet etchant is injected into the buffer layer to remove the buffer layer, thereby separating the substrate 101 from the first conductive semiconductor layer 111.
After the substrate 101 has been removed, a bottom surface of the first conductive semiconductor layer 111 may be etched through an inductively coupled plasma/reactive ion etching (ICP/RIE) scheme.
Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, after the substrate 101 has been removed, the outer portion of a bottom surface of the first isolation layer 120 in the chip boundary region is exposed through a mesa etching scheme. The etching scheme may be performed through a dry and/or wet etch scheme.
The first and second isolation layers 120 and 124 can reduce thermal expansion of the metal layer 122 interposed therebetween. Accordingly, delamination can be prevented at the outer portion of a chip when a chip separating process is performed. As described above, since the metal layer 122 and the second isolation layer 124 are formed in-situ while forming the first isolation layer 120, inter-layer adhesive strength can be improved.
When the first isolation layer 120 includes a conductive material, a light efficiency can be improved due to the ohmic characteristic of the first isolation layer 120. In addition, the reflective efficiency of the metal layer 122 can be improved.
When the first isolation layer 120 includes an insulating material, the gap between the conductive support member 140 and the second conductive semiconductor layer 115 can be widened.
Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the first conductive semiconductor layer 111 may be formed thereon with the first electrode layer 119 having a predetermined pattern. Before or after the first electrode layer 119 has been formed, the dicing process is performed to provide individual chips.
In the semiconductor light emitting device 100 according to the embodiment, the first isolation layer 120 is exposed along the outer region 118 of the light emitting structure 110, and the metal layer 122 is interposed between the first and second isolation layers 120 and 124, thereby preventing delamination and improving reflective efficiency.
