氮化物發光二極體技術不斷的發展,已成為未來固態照明的明日之星,但整體的外部量子效率還不足,因此提升外部量子效率是目前重要的議題。影響內部量子效率的主要原因在於磊晶品質,而影響光萃取效率的主要原因之一是由於平坦的表面造成光在氮化鎵中產生全反射的現象,使得光溢出的比例下降。
本論文以奈米壓印的技術製作圖案化的蝕刻阻擋層,再以乾式蝕刻的方式製作出凹狀圖案化的藍寶石基板,藉以提升GaN的磊晶品質以及增加LEDs的光萃取效率,選用奈米壓印的技術原因是奈米壓印出的圖案線寬可以很小、製程速度快、成本低,符合業界的需求。
本研究成功地以奈米壓印技術製做出圖案為圓形且直徑約為400 nm的奈米級圖案化藍寶石基板,並且將氮化鎵發光二極體結構成長於圖案化藍寶石基板上,深入地研究具有不同深度奈米級圖案化藍寶石基板的發光二極體之差異,除此之外,試著將二氧化矽應用於圖形化藍寶石基板阻止差排成長來改善二極體的發光效率。
不同深度奈米級圖案化藍寶石基板應用於氮化鎵發光二極體之研究結果顯示,以深度為500 nm的奈米級圖形化基板所成長的發光二極體與傳統平面基板的發光二極體相較之下,外部量子效率5.29%提升到6.28%,此提升是由於內部量子效率及光萃取效率的改善。接著進一步將二氧化矽應用在深度為500 nm的奈米級圖形化基板上,外部量子效率從6.28%提升到11.43%,然而此提升僅由於內部量子效率的改善。
The technique of nitride-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) has been developed for many years. And nitride-based LEDs have become the most promising candidate for solid state lighting in the future. However, the external quantum efficiency is not sufficient yet, so enhancing the external quantum efficiency is the most important issue at present. The main effect on internal quantum efficiency is the epitaxial quality and one of the main effects on light extraction efficiency is that the planar surface leads to total internal reflection of light in the GaN layer. This phenomenon will make the percentage of light transmission decrease.
In this article, the patterned resin was used as etching mask by nano imprint lithography and then the concave patterned sapphire substrate was fabricated by dry etching. By doing this, we hoped to improve epitaxial quality and increase the light extraction efficiency of LEDs. Nano imprint lithography was chosen because of its minimum dimension, high throughput and low cost. These advantages met the needs of the industry.
Nano imprint lithography was successfully applied to manufacture nano patterned sapphire substrates and the size of pattern was about 400 nm. Then LED structures were grown on nano patterned sapphire substrate. And the differences between LEDs with different depths of patterned sapphire substrates were analyzed. Furthermore, we also applied SiO2 as the blocking layer preventing GaN growing from sidewall to further improve crystal quality and enhance LED performance.
In this study, nano patterned sapphire substrates with different etching depths were used. The LED with a concave patterned sapphire substrate in depth of 500 nm was compared with the conventional LED. The external quantum efficiency of the LED with nano patterned sapphire substrate was increased from 5.29 to 6.28%. The increase was due to the improvement of internal quantum efficiency and light extraction efficiency. And when we further applied SiO2, the external quantum efficiency was increased from 6.28 to 11.43%. However, the increase was only by improving internal quantum efficiency.
