Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a method for producing a light emitting diode (LED) and, more particularly, to a method for producing a high-brightness light emitting diode by bonding a reflective layer formed on an LED epitaxial layer to an adhesive layer formed on an Si substrate.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Currently, a trend of developing the light emitting diodes is to promote the brightness. In order to achieve this object, one or more reflective metal layers are combined therein. However, this metal layer has to also possess properties of adhesion and ohmic contact.
- For example, R.O.C. Patent No. 369731 disclosed an LED in which the GaAs substrate is replaced with a Si substrate having a reflective metal layer thereon by wafer bonding technology. Unfortunately, such design cannot improve the lighting effect of short wavelengths.
- Additionally, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,376,580, the GaAs substrate is a temporary substrate for epitaxying and then removed after being bonded to a transparent substrate. Though this method prevents absorption of the GaAs substrate, the processes have to be carried out at high temperature, which might damage the structure and thus decrease the lighting effect. Additionally, this transparent substrate is made by GaP, which can absorb the short-wavelength light.
- R.O.C. Patent No. 415116 mentioned an
LED 10 as shown in FIG. 1, in which two reflectiveadhesive metal layers epitaxial layer 15 and the top surface of thesubstrate 11. By bonding the two reflectiveadhesive metal layers LED 10 and the brightness can be promoted. - FIG. 2 shows another
conventional LED 20, in which a metaladhesive layer 22 is formed on a top surface of the SiO2 substrate 21, and an LEDepitaxial layer 25 is bonded to the top surface of the metaladhesive layer 22. Brightness of theLED 20 can be improved due to ohmic contact between thesubstrate 21 and the metaladhesive layer 22. - For the above LED structures, all of the reflective layers have combining functions of adhesion and ohmic contact, therefore only metal material is suitable. A disadvantage of such material is that atomic diffusion occurs at the interface of the metal layer and the LED epitaxial layer. When a light source more than 600 nm is applied, the lighting effect will be reduced since total reflection in the metal layer is not available. FIG. 3 shows the reflectivity varied with wavelengths, in which the reflectivity is 0.9 at 600 nm. Further, the reflectivity rapidly reduces at wavelength less than 600 nm, for example, 590 nm or 570 nm of yellow-green light. Consequently, the reflective layer can hardly perform expected effect. Both the reflective metal layers as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 exist such problem.
- Therefore, it is desirable to provide a method for producing an improved LED structure to promote the brightness, particularly at short wavelength.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a high-brightness light emitting diode, which can exhibit superior lighting effect at long wavelength.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a high-brightness light emitting diode, which can exhibit much better lighting effect than the conventional at short wavelength.
- In order to achieve the above object, the method primarily includes steps of: A) forming a reflective layer on an LED epitaxial layer and a first adhesive layer on an Si substrate, wherein the LED epitaxial layer is grown on a temporary substrate and has a pn junction structure to define a first-type layer adjacent to the temporary substrate and a second-type layer; B) bonding the reflective layer to the first adhesive layer by thermal pressing and then removing the temporary substrate; C) forming a first-type ohmic contact electrode on partial top surface of the LED eptaxitial layer by physical vapor deposition; D) etching at least partial remained LED epitaxial layer from top surface thereof and stopping at the second-type layer to form a metal contact layer; and E) forming a second-type ohmic contact electrode on the metal contact layer by physical vapor deposition.
- The LED eptaxitial layer aforementioned can further include a p-type confining layer and a n-type confining layer. The first ohmic contact electrode can further include a transparent electrode thereon to enhance electric conduction. The reflective layer preferably includes at least two materials, for example, a metal and an insulator, a high-dielectric material and a low-dielectric material, etc, wherein the insulator and the low-dielectric material are preferably adjacent to the LED epitaxial layer.
- The metal can be Al, Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, etc. The insulator can be Al2O3, MgF2, SiO2, TiO2, Si3N4, etc. The high-dielectric material preferably has a refractive index larger than 2.1, and the low-dielectric material has a refractive index less than 1.56. The high-dielectric material can be TiO2, CeO2, Si, etc. The low-dielectric material can be Al2O3, MgF2, SiO2, Si3N4, etc.
- The etching process of step D) is preferably chemical wet etching or dry etching. The physical vapor deposition of steps C) and E) can be e-gun evaporation deposition, thermal evaporation deposition, or sputter deposition.
- The reflective layer can further include a second adhesive layer therebelow to reinforce attachment with the first adhesive layer. The first or second adhesive layer is preferably made from metal, for example, Au, Au/Be alloy, Au/Zn alloy, Pt, Pd, Cu, Ni, In and Al. The first adhesive layer can be also a polymer nonconductor.

The LEDepitaxial layer 55 is an active structure and fabricated by II-VI or III-V alloys, for example, direct-bandgap LEDs, AlGaInP. The LEDepitaxial layer 55 previously grows on atemporary GaAs substrate 59 and has a pn junction structure, wherein the upper one is a p-type layer 55A and the lower one is an n-type layer 55B. In this embodiment, the p-type layer 55A is arranged to be adjacent to thereflective layer 56 and the n-type layer 55B to thetemporary substrate 59.

ohmic contact electrode 60 having the same type as the n-type layer 55B of theLED eptaxitial layer 55 is formed on the left top surface thereof by physical vapor deposition. FIG. 6 shows the cross section view of the structure developed in this step. - In step D, the right top surface of the
LED epitaxial layer 55 is etched and stopped beneath the pn junction to form ametal contact layer 58 and expose the p-type layer 55A. In step E, a p-typeohmic contact electrode 65 having the same type as the p-type layer 55A of the exposedLED eptaxitial layer 55 is formed by physical vapor deposition. FIG. 7 shows the cross section view of the structure developed in these two steps. By supplying appropriate voltage to theohmic contact electrodes LED epitaxial layer 55 can be excited and emit light, wherein the backward light can be reflected by thereflective layer 56.
