基于F离子注入隔离技术实现一种新型微缩化发光二极管(micromicro-LED)阵列器件,并系统研究注入能量及发光孔径对micro-LED阵列器光电性能的影响.研究结果表明:相比于F离子50 ke V单次注入器件, 50/100 ke V两次注入器件具有更好的光电性能,器件反向漏电降低8.4倍,光输出功率密度提升1.3倍.同时,在不同的发光孔径(6, 8, 10μm)条件下,器件反向漏电流均为3.4×10–8 A,但正向工作电压随孔径增大而减小,分别为3.3, 3.1, 2.9 V.此外,器件不同发光孔径的有效发光面积比(实际发光面积与器件面积之比)分别为85%, 87%, 92%.与传统台面刻蚀micro-LED器件相比,离子注入隔离技术实现的micro-LED器件具有较低反的向漏电流密度、较高的光输出密度及有效发光面积比.

Ion implantation isolation based micro-light-emitting diode device array properties

Compared with conventional light-emitting diode(LED), micro-LED has excellent photo-electric properties such as high current density, light output power density, light response frequency. It has widespread application prospects in the field of light display, optical tweezers, and visible light communication. However, dry etching inevitably leads the sidewall to be damaged, which results in the degradation of device properties. In this letter,a micro-LED array device based on F ions implantation isolation technology is presented to avoid damaging the sidewall. We systemically investigate the influence of fluorine ion implantation energy and light-emitting apertures on the photoelectric properties of the micro-LED array device by testing the current-voltage characteristic and light output power. The investigation results show that comparing with F ion 50 ke V single implantation device, the reverse leakage of 50/100 ke V double implantation device decreases by 8.4 times and the optical output density increases by 1.3 times. When the light-emitting apertures are different(6, 8, 10 μm respectively), the reverse leakage current remains constant, and the forward operating voltage decreasesfrom3.3 V to 3.1 V and to 2.9 V with the increase of the aperture. Besides, the available area ratio, i.e. the ratio of actual light-emitting area to device area of single micro-LED with different light-emitting apertures are 85%,87%, and 92%, respectively. The electrical isolation of the micro-LED array is realized by ion implantation isolation technology, and the micro-LED has some advantages over the conventional mesa etching micro-LED device, such as low reverse leakage current density, high optical output power density, and high effective lightemitting area ratio.
