Abstract

The invention discloses a structure of a Si-substrate GaN-based light-emitting diode (LED) and a manufacturing method for the silicon-substrate GaN-based LED. The silicon-substrate GaN-based LED mainly comprises a Si substrate of which the surface is a non-(111) series crystal plane of Si, more than two (111) series crystal planes of the Si which are exposed on the non-(111) series crystal plane and form preset angles with the non-(111) series crystal plane, and a GaN-based LED extension structure which is grown on the (111) series crystal planes. Based on the advantages of high processing property, high electricity conduction performance and high heat conduction performance of the Si, the GaN-based LED extension structure is grown on a substrate plane with a certain angle by using the Si as the substrate, so that the GaN-based LED extension structure has a large light-emitting area; and interfaces are provided according to the different inclination angles of the substrate, so that the influence of the interfaces on the emergent light full-reflection effect of the GaN-based LED extension structure is weakened, the light-emitting efficiency of the LED can be improved, high white light uniformity can be obtained, and high emergent light quality can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of LED (Light Emitting Diode, light emitting diode) manufacturing, and more specifically relates to a Si (silicon) substrate gallium nitride GaN-based LED structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Since entering the 21st century, the emerging concept of energy saving and environmental protection has also begun to heat up in the LED (Light Emitting Diode, light emitting diode) industry. The white light LED technology based on GaN (gallium nitride)-based LEDs has also developed rapidly. The light source efficiency of white LED single light using GaN blue LED chip as excitation source has reached more than 130 lumens / watt, far exceeding the light efficiency of ordinary energy-saving lamps. LED technology has begun to fully enter the general lighting market. With the further expansion of the application range of GaN-based LEDs, the requirements for the luminous efficiency of LED ...
