背景技术Background technique
现如今,以氮化镓(GaN)、碳化硅(SiC)为代表的第三代宽禁带半导体材料以其优良的光电特性和广阔的应用前景,成为全球诸多现代工业领域研究的热点。第三代宽禁带半导体材料拥有禁带宽度大、高迁移率、抗辐射能力强等优点,因此在半导体发光、电子电力器件、遥感探测、可见光通讯等领域具有广泛的应用空间。Nowadays, the third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials represented by gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) have become a research hotspot in many modern industrial fields around the world due to their excellent optoelectronic properties and broad application prospects. The third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials have the advantages of large band gap, high mobility, and strong radiation resistance, so they have a wide range of applications in the fields of semiconductor light-emitting, electronic power devices, remote sensing detection, and visible light communication.
相比于基于“水银”的深紫外光源,AlGaN基深紫外LED工作电压低,一般在3至5V之间,且一般采取直流(DC)供电方式,这是深紫外LED的巨大优势之一。随着LED的普及和广泛应用,芯片若想采用市路电压(220V)直接供电,电路必须接入LED驱动器(变压器和AC-DC转换器);传统的用LED驱动器虽然可以实现市路电压对LED的供电,但是会使电路比较繁琐,而且也会使额外的成本增加。(LED驱动器是一种封装好的驱动LED发光的电源调整电子器件,其内部是由一些电阻、电容、电感和肖特基二极管组合成的电路,驱动不同的LED需要选择不同类型的LED驱动器,驱动器内部电路也会有所不同),另外一种是电路中接入整流器或者整流桥(工作原理也是将交流电变为直流电,整流器是由真空管、引燃管、固态矽半导体二极管、汞弧等制成,整流器也是一种封装好的交流变直流的装置;整流桥是由若干个整流二极管组成的桥式电路,如图13所示为一个桥式整流电路,但是整流器或整流桥是单纯地把正弦交流电的负偏压变为正偏压(如图10(c)所示),这样虽然可以达到交流变直流的目的,但是由于LED一直处于发光状态,会增加LED的发热,降低器件效率,减少器件的使用寿命;而且这个整流桥的电路也会更加复杂。Compared with the "mercury"-based deep ultraviolet light source, the working voltage of AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet LEDs is low, generally between 3 and 5V, and the direct current (DC) power supply is generally adopted, which is one of the great advantages of deep ultraviolet LEDs. With the popularization and wide application of LEDs, if the chip wants to use the mains voltage (220V) to supply power directly, the circuit must be connected to the LED driver (transformer and AC-DC converter); although the traditional LED driver can realize the mains voltage LED power supply, but will make the circuit more cumbersome, and it will also increase the extra cost. (LED driver is a packaged power adjustment electronic device that drives LED to emit light. Its interior is a circuit composed of some resistors, capacitors, inductors and Schottky diodes. To drive different LEDs, you need to choose different types of LED drivers. The internal circuit of the driver will also be different), and the other is to connect a rectifier or a rectifier bridge to the circuit (the working principle is also to convert alternating current into direct current. The rectifier is made of vacuum tubes, ignition tubes, solid silicon semiconductor diodes, mercury arcs, etc. The rectifier is also a packaged AC-to-DC device; the rectifier bridge is a bridge circuit composed of several rectifier diodes, as shown in Figure 13 for a bridge rectifier circuit, but the rectifier or rectifier bridge is simply a The negative bias of the sinusoidal alternating current is changed to a positive bias (as shown in Figure 10(c)), although the purpose of alternating current to direct current can be achieved, but because the LED is always in the light-emitting state, it will increase the heating of the LED and reduce the efficiency of the device. Reduce the service life of the device; and the circuit of this rectifier bridge will be more complicated.

本发明的实质性特点为:The essential features of the present invention are:
本发明的实现基于驱动DUV LED的基本设计思路,利用SBD的如下特性来驱动DUVLED,提出了一种同时具有SBD结构和DUV LED结构的集成光电子芯片。The realization of the present invention is based on the basic design idea of driving DUV LED, utilizes the following characteristics of SBD to drive DUV LED, and proposes an integrated optoelectronic chip with both SBD structure and DUV LED structure.
其理论机理为:由于SBD是单向导通的(即加正向电压时SBD导通,外加反向偏压时SBD处于截止状态),因此交流电中的正向偏压流经SBD时会被保留,交流电中的反向偏压会被SBD滤掉,交流电经过SBD结构后就会变成间断的脉冲直流电(如图10(b)所示),间断式的脉冲直流电可以减少DUV LED器件的热效应,提高器件使用寿命。另一方面,当电路外加反向偏压时,SBD相比于DUV LED可以承担比较大的反向电压,不容易被击穿,SBD可以起到保护DUV LED和电路的作用,这也提高了芯片的耐用性。The theoretical mechanism is: since the SBD is unidirectionally conducting (that is, the SBD is turned on when the forward voltage is applied, and the SBD is in the off state when the reverse bias is applied), the forward bias in the alternating current will be retained when it flows through the SBD. , the reverse bias voltage in the alternating current will be filtered by the SBD, and the alternating current will become intermittent pulsed direct current after passing through the SBD structure (as shown in Figure 10(b)). The intermittent pulsed direct current can reduce the thermal effect of the DUV LED device. , improve the service life of the device. On the other hand, when a reverse bias voltage is applied to the circuit, the SBD can bear a relatively large reverse voltage compared with the DUV LED, and it is not easy to be broken down. The SBD can play a role in protecting the DUV LED and the circuit, which also improves the Chip durability.
如果采用传统的LED驱动器来驱动DUV LED器件,会增加成本,并且根据不同的需求需要采用不同的LED驱动器,也会在一定程度上增加电路的成本;如图13所示:如果在电路中采用传统的整流桥结构,交流电经过整流桥结构后变成直流电,这种不间断的直流供电方式相比于我们提出的间断式脉冲供电方式会导致DUV LED器件发热严重,在一定程度上会减少器件的使用寿命。而且相比于传统的LED驱动器或者整流桥,我们提出的这种集成芯片更简单,更直接,也可以降低成本。If the traditional LED driver is used to drive the DUV LED device, the cost will increase, and different LED drivers need to be used according to different needs, which will also increase the cost of the circuit to a certain extent; as shown in Figure 13: If the circuit uses In the traditional rectifier bridge structure, the alternating current turns into direct current after passing through the rectifier bridge structure. Compared with the intermittent pulse power supply method proposed by us, this uninterrupted DC power supply method will cause serious heating of the DUV LED device, which will reduce the number of devices to a certain extent. service life. Moreover, compared with traditional LED drivers or rectifier bridges, the integrated chip we propose is simpler and more direct, and can also reduce costs.
本发明的有益效果是:The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
与现有技术相比,本发明具有如下的突出的实质性特点和显著进步:Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following outstanding substantive features and remarkable progress:
(1)传统的LED芯片都是通过直流电压(DC)供电,正常工作下外加偏压很低,一般在3至5V之间,无法直接由市路电压(220V交流电)直接供电。考虑到LED未来发展的普及化,想实现市路电压直接对LED的供电,电路中必须接入LED驱动器,这不仅会使电路比较繁琐,也会增加成本。为了解决这个问题,我们提出的同时具有SBD和DUV LED结构的集成光电子芯片可由市路电压直接供电(220V)。当该集成光电子芯片处于正向偏压时(即AC信号的正半周期),SBD处于导通状态,与SBD串联的DUV LED亦处于导通状态,则该集成光电子芯片允许电流的输运并产生光子(即LED是处于发光的状态);从理论角度考虑,当外加反向偏压时(即AC信号的另一负半周期),SBD处于关断状态,则整个串联电路也处于断开状态,此时电路中没有电流通过DUV LED,因此该集成光电子芯片不会产生光子(即LED此时不发光)。从实际角度考虑,该集成光电子芯片中的SBD是基于AlGaN层,该层禁带宽度大、临界电场高,所以当外加反向偏压时SBD结构可承担较高的击穿电压,同时漏电流较小,不足以使DUVLED击穿,电路中的器件不会被损坏,从而起到保护整个电路的作用。(1) The traditional LED chips are powered by direct current (DC) voltage. Under normal operation, the applied bias voltage is very low, generally between 3 and 5V, and cannot be directly powered by the mains voltage (220V AC). Considering the popularization of LED development in the future, in order to realize the direct supply of power to the LED from the market voltage, the LED driver must be connected to the circuit, which will not only make the circuit more complicated, but also increase the cost. To solve this problem, our proposed integrated optoelectronic chip with both SBD and DUV LED structures can be directly powered by the mains voltage (220V). When the integrated optoelectronic chip is in forward bias (that is, the positive half cycle of the AC signal), the SBD is in the on state, and the DUV LED connected in series with the SBD is also in the on state, the integrated optoelectronic chip allows the current to be transported and Generate photons (that is, the LED is in a light-emitting state); from a theoretical point of view, when a reverse bias is applied (that is, another negative half cycle of the AC signal), the SBD is in the off state, and the entire series circuit is also disconnected In this state, there is no current passing through the DUV LED in the circuit, so the integrated optoelectronic chip does not generate photons (ie, the LED does not emit light at this time). From a practical point of view, the SBD in the integrated optoelectronic chip is based on the AlGaN layer, which has a large band gap and a high critical electric field, so when reverse bias is applied, the SBD structure can bear a higher breakdown voltage, while leakage current Small enough to make the DUVLED breakdown, the devices in the circuit will not be damaged, so as to protect the entire circuit.
(2)而且当市路电压(220V交流电)经过SBD以后整流成间断式的脉冲直流电[如图10(b)所示,交流电的负偏压被滤掉],当外加正向偏压时DUV LED处于导通状态发光,当没有外加偏压时DUV LED熄灭,DUV LED不是一直处于导通状态,这种间断脉冲式的工作方式可以减少器件发热,延长使用寿命,保护电路,进一步提高了芯片的重复使用率。(如果是用传统的LED驱动器驱动LED的话,LED是一直处于导通发光的状态,器件会产生比较多的热,不仅会影响器件工作效率,对器件本身的使用寿命也会有一定的影响)。本发明中的结构可以提高器件一倍的性能,增加器件使用寿命一倍。(2) And when the mains voltage (220V AC) is rectified into intermittent pulsed DC after passing through the SBD [as shown in Figure 10(b), the negative bias of the AC is filtered out], when a forward bias is applied, the DUV The LED is turned on to emit light. When there is no external bias voltage, the DUV LED is turned off, and the DUV LED is not always on. This intermittent pulse operation can reduce the heating of the device, prolong the service life, protect the circuit, and further improve the chip. the reuse rate. (If the traditional LED driver is used to drive the LED, the LED is always on and emitting light, and the device will generate more heat, which will not only affect the working efficiency of the device, but also have a certain impact on the service life of the device itself) . The structure of the present invention can double the performance of the device and double the service life of the device.
(3)本发明中同时具有SBD和DUV LED结构的集成光电子芯片,制作工艺简单,易于操作,可重复性强,生产成本低。(3) The integrated optoelectronic chip having both SBD and DUV LED structures in the present invention has the advantages of simple manufacturing process, easy operation, strong repeatability and low production cost.

图13所示表明传统技术中一种桥式整流电路的结构图;基于以上步骤可制作出本发明提出的一种同时具有肖特基的二极管(SBD)和深紫外发光二极管(DUV LED)的集成光电子芯片,该集成光电子芯片可以直接由市路电压(220V交流电)供电,省去了传统电路接入的LED驱动器,简化了电路,提高了发光效率和器件可靠性;此外,利用SBD的单向导通特性,该集成光电子芯片可实现对AC信号的滤波作用(如图10(b)所示,将正弦交流电的负偏压滤掉,只保留正偏压),即间接实现脉冲信号下的驱动模式,则可以减小LED的发热,延长器件使用寿命,更有利于LED的普及。FIG. 13 shows the structure diagram of a bridge rectifier circuit in the traditional technology; based on the above steps, a diode (SBD) with both Schottky and deep ultraviolet light emitting diode (DUV LED) proposed by the present invention can be fabricated Integrated optoelectronic chip, the integrated optoelectronic chip can be directly powered by the city voltage (220V AC), eliminating the need for the LED driver connected to the traditional circuit, simplifying the circuit, improving the luminous efficiency and device reliability; With the conduction characteristic, the integrated optoelectronic chip can filter the AC signal (as shown in Figure 10(b), the negative bias voltage of the sinusoidal AC current is filtered out, and only the positive bias voltage is retained), that is, it indirectly realizes the filtering effect under the pulse signal. The driving mode can reduce the heat generation of the LED, prolong the service life of the device, and be more conducive to the popularization of the LED.
当该集成光电子芯片处于正向偏压时(即AC信号的正半周期),SBD处于导通状态,与SBD串联的DUV LED亦处于导通状态,则该集成光电子芯片允许电流的输运并产生光子;从理论角度考虑,当外加反向偏压时(即AC信号的另一负半周期),SBD处于关断状态,则整个串联电路断开,此时没有电流通过DUV LED,因此该集成光电子芯片不会产生光子。从实际角度考虑,该集成光电子芯片中的SBD是基于AlGaN层,该层禁带宽度大、临界电场高,所以SBD可承担较高的击穿电压,同时漏电流较小,所以当集成光电子芯片外加反向偏压时不足以使DUV LED击穿(LED的击穿电压远小于SBD,所以当外加反向偏压时,从而起到保护整个电路的作用(DUV LED的反向击穿电压相比于SBD很小,所以如果电路中没有SBD承担较大的反向电压,LED很容易击穿,器件很容易损坏)。正是利用以上所述的SBD结构的单向导通性和可承担较大的反向击穿电压的特点,此集成光电子芯片不仅可以将正弦交流电转为脉冲的直流电,可以实现市路电压直接对此芯片的供电,还可以减少LED的发热现象,提高器件效率,增加器件使用寿命。When the integrated optoelectronic chip is in forward bias (that is, the positive half cycle of the AC signal), the SBD is in the on state, and the DUV LED connected in series with the SBD is also in the on state, the integrated optoelectronic chip allows the current to be transported and Photons are generated; from a theoretical point of view, when a reverse bias is applied (that is, another negative half cycle of the AC signal), the SBD is in the off state, the entire series circuit is disconnected, and no current passes through the DUV LED at this time, so the Integrated optoelectronic chips do not generate photons. From a practical point of view, the SBD in the integrated optoelectronic chip is based on the AlGaN layer, which has a large band gap and a high critical electric field, so the SBD can bear a higher breakdown voltage and has a small leakage current, so when the integrated optoelectronic chip is used When the reverse bias is applied, it is not enough to make the DUV LED breakdown (the breakdown voltage of the LED is much smaller than that of the SBD, so when the reverse bias is applied, it protects the entire circuit (the reverse breakdown voltage of the DUV LED is the same as that of the SBD). It is smaller than SBD, so if there is no SBD in the circuit to bear a large reverse voltage, the LED is easily broken down and the device is easily damaged). With the characteristics of large reverse breakdown voltage, this integrated optoelectronic chip can not only convert sinusoidal alternating current into pulsed direct current, but also directly supply power to the chip from the mains voltage, but also reduce the heating phenomenon of LED, improve device efficiency, increase Device life.

所述的上述一种同时具有SBD和DUV LED结构的集成光电子芯片,其制备方法如下:The above-mentioned integrated optoelectronic chip with SBD and DUV LED structures at the same time, its preparation method is as follows:
第一步,在MOCVD反应炉中,将衬底1在1300℃高温环境下进行烘烤,将衬底1表面的异物进行清除,然后分别生长缓冲层2;n-AlGaN层3;本征AlGaN层4;n-AlGaN电子传输层5;6对Al0.45Ga0.55N/Al0.55Ga0.45N多量子阱层6;p-Al0.6Ga0.4N电子阻挡层7;p-Al0.4Ga0.6N/p-GaN空穴注入层8。The first step is to bake the
第二步,在第一步得到的p-Al0.4Ga0.6N/p-GaN空穴注入层8上,通过蒸镀制作电流扩展层9,其材料是Ni/Au,厚度为20nm。In the second step, on the p-Al0.4 Ga0.6 N/p-GaN
第三步,在第二步得到的基片上通过光刻和深刻蚀工艺,选择性刻蚀至缓冲层2位置,形成器件阵列,将单个SBD、DUV LED器件隔离;阵列中,DUV LED、SBD器件之间有10μm的间距。In the third step, the substrate obtained in the second step is selectively etched to the position of the
第四步,在第三步得到的基片上通过光刻和干法刻蚀工艺制作台阶,将DUV LED一侧暴露出n-AlGaN电子传输层5,对于SBD器件使用相同的方法使器件暴露出本征AlGaN层4和n-AlGaN层3。The fourth step is to make steps on the substrate obtained in the third step by photolithography and dry etching, exposing the n-AlGaN

从上面实施例可以看出,本发明由于利用SBD可以把交流电的负半部分滤掉,只保留正半部分,即只有外加正半部分的电压时DUV LED才会导通发光,而负半部分的电压因为被SBD滤掉,所以DUV LED不会导通;相比于直接把交流电的负半部分通过某种手段变成正的,会使DUV LED在通电期间一直处于导通发光状态,而我们所提出的结构中,DUV LED在外加负半部分电压时处于不亮的状态,相当于只有一半的电压可以使DUV LED导通,所以从理论上推测,本专利所提出的结构可以减少一倍的发热,增加器件的使用寿命。It can be seen from the above embodiment that the present invention can filter out the negative half of the alternating current due to the use of SBD, and only retain the positive half, that is, the DUV LED will turn on and emit light only when the voltage of the positive half is applied, while the negative half Because the voltage of the DUV LED is filtered by the SBD, the DUV LED will not be turned on; compared with directly turning the negative half of the AC power into positive by some means, the DUV LED will always be turned on and emit light during the power-on period, and In the structure proposed by us, the DUV LED is in a non-lighting state when the negative half voltage is applied, which is equivalent to only half of the voltage can make the DUV LED turn on. Therefore, it is theoretically speculated that the structure proposed in this patent can reduce one times the heat and increase the service life of the device.

由此制得本发明的一种同时具有SBD和DUV LED结构的集成光电子芯片。Thereby, an integrated optoelectronic chip of the present invention having both SBD and DUV LED structures is prepared.
图15为通过Crosslight公司的APSYS软件仿真计算得到的单个DUV LED结构以及同时具有DUV LED和SBD结构的反向IV特性,图15(a)为单个DUV LED结构的反向IV特性曲线,单个DUV LED结构的击穿电压为14V,图15(b)为同时具有SBD和DUV LED结构的反向IV特性曲线,而同时具有DUV LED和SBD结构的击穿电压可以提高到1000V左右,可见我们提出的器件结构可以有效提高器件的反向击穿电压,从而起到保护电路的作用。Figure 15 shows the single DUV LED structure and the reverse IV characteristic with both DUV LED and SBD structure calculated by APSYS software of Crosslight Company. Figure 15(a) is the reverse IV characteristic curve of a single DUV LED structure. The breakdown voltage of the LED structure is 14V. Figure 15(b) shows the reverse IV characteristic curve of both SBD and DUV LED structures, while the breakdown voltage of both DUV LED and SBD structures can be increased to about 1000V. It can be seen that our proposed The device structure can effectively improve the reverse breakdown voltage of the device, thereby playing the role of protecting the circuit.
通过以上实施例,我们所提出的具有SBD结构的发光二极管器件不需要LED驱动器,可以直接由市路电压供电,这样不仅电路简单明了,还可以降低成本。本发明提出而一种具有肖特基的二极管(SBD)和的深紫外发光二极管(DUV LED)集成的光电子芯片,可以直接由市路电压供电,省去了LED驱动器,简化了电路,提高了发光效率和器件可靠性;此外,利用SBD的单向导通特性,该集成光电子芯片可实现对AC信号的滤波作用,即间接实现脉冲信号下的驱动模式,则可以减小LED的发热,延长器件使用寿命,更有利于LED的普及。Through the above embodiments, the light emitting diode device with the SBD structure proposed by us does not need an LED driver, and can be directly powered by the mains voltage, which not only has a simple and clear circuit, but also can reduce costs. The invention proposes an optoelectronic chip with Schottky diode (SBD) and deep ultraviolet light emitting diode (DUV LED) integrated, which can be directly powered by the mains voltage, saves the LED driver, simplifies the circuit, and improves the Luminous efficiency and device reliability; in addition, using the unidirectional conduction characteristics of SBD, the integrated optoelectronic chip can filter the AC signal, that is, indirectly realize the driving mode under the pulse signal, which can reduce the heating of the LED and prolong the device. The service life is more conducive to the popularization of LEDs.
当该集成光电子芯片处于正向偏压时(即AC信号的一半周期),SBD处于导通状态,与SBD串联的DUV LED亦处于导通状态,则该集成光电子芯片允许电流的输运并产生光子;从理论角度考虑,当外加反向偏压时(即AC信号的另一半周期),SBD处于关断状态,则整个串联电路断开,没有电流通过DUV LED,因此该集成光电子芯片不会产生光子。从实际角度考虑,该集成光电子芯片中的SBD是基于AlGaN层,该层禁带宽度大、临界电场高,所以SBD可承担较高的击穿电压,同时漏电流较小,不足以使DUV LED击穿,从而起到保护整个电路的作用。When the integrated optoelectronic chip is in forward bias (that is, half cycle of the AC signal), the SBD is in a conducting state, and the DUV LED connected in series with the SBD is also in a conducting state, then the integrated optoelectronic chip allows the transport of current and generates Photon; from a theoretical point of view, when a reverse bias is applied (ie, the other half cycle of the AC signal), the SBD is in the off state, the entire series circuit is disconnected, and no current passes through the DUV LED, so the integrated optoelectronic chip will not produce photons. From a practical point of view, the SBD in the integrated optoelectronic chip is based on the AlGaN layer, which has a large forbidden band width and a high critical electric field, so the SBD can bear a high breakdown voltage, while the leakage current is small, which is not enough to make DUV LEDs. breakdown, thereby protecting the entire circuit.
