Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of light-emitting diodes, in particular to a light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer and a preparation method thereof, a light-emitting diode chip preparation and a substrate recycling method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, AlGaInP light-emitting diodes (Light Emiting Diodes, LEDs for short) with high luminance characteristics have been widely used in more and more application fields, and the market demand is constantly expanding. [0003] AlGaInP LED epitaxial wafers include GaAs substrates and epitaxial layers grown on GaAs substrates. After completing the preparation of the AlGaInP LED epitaxial wafer, the chip process will be carried out. In the chip process stage, the substrate needs to be removed. The existing method for removing the substrate is to remove the substrate by grinding or the like. After grinding, the substrate will be completely destroyed. In this way, only one AlGaInP LED epitaxia...
