Abstract

The invention discloses an etching liquid, an etching method and a surface roughening method for a GaP layer of an LED chip, belonging to the field of surface roughening. The etching liquid comprises hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The surface roughening method of the LED chip combines a plasma etching process with a wet etching process, so that etching holes are bowl-shaped, the total reflection of emergent light can be effectively reduced, and the light emergent efficiency of the LED chip is improved. The surface roughening method has the advantages of simple process, reasonable design and easiness and convenience in operation, the rise of surface contact voltage of the LED chip cannot be caused, and the product reliability cannot be influenced.
