Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本发明的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本发明的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施方式的目的,不是旨在于限制本发明。Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the technical field of the invention. The terminology used herein in the description of the present invention is only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and is not intended to limit the present invention.
微型发光二极管(Micro Light Emitting Diode,Micro-LED)技术是新一代的显示技术,其中巨量转移技术是Micro-LED制造中极为重要的部分,Micro-LED巨量转移技术是透过暂存基板将成千上万颗Micro-LED从生长基板上转移到目标基板上的技术,在转移的制程中,通常是先让Micro-LED芯片与暂存基板进行粘附,然后再使用激光剥离技术将Micro-LED芯片从生长基板上剥离,最后将粘附有Micro-LED芯片的暂存基板与目标基板进行bonding(键合)。Micro Light Emitting Diode (Micro-LED) technology is a new generation of display technology, in which mass transfer technology is an extremely important part of Micro-LED manufacturing, Micro-LED mass transfer technology is through the temporary substrate The technology of transferring thousands of Micro-LEDs from the growth substrate to the target substrate. In the transfer process, the Micro-LED chips are usually adhered to the temporary substrate first, and then the Micro-LED chips are bonded to the temporary substrate using laser lift-off technology. -The LED chip is peeled from the growth substrate, and finally the temporary storage substrate with the Micro-LED chip attached is bonded to the target substrate.
示例性技术中,Micro-LED芯片与生长基板的连接部分的材质为GaN(氮化镓),而GaN在被激光照射时可以部分分解产生氮气(2GaN→2Ga+N2),因此,当所述Micro-LED与所述生长基板的连接部分的材质为GaN时,使用激光照射所述生长基板远离Micro-LED的一侧时,激光可以通过透明的所述生长基板,照射到所述Micro-LED的一侧,所述Micro-LED与所述生长基板的连接部分的部分GaN发生分解,所产生的氮气能够形成一定的推力,有助于Micro-LED从所述生长基板上脱落,脱落后在Micro-LED电极表面会残留有金属镓,如图1所示。在对激光剥离后残留在微发光二极管芯片上的金属镓,常采用酸洗的方式,在酸洗的过程中,酸会腐蚀微发光二极管芯片上的电极,极易对微发光二极管芯片照成损坏。In the exemplary technology, the material of the connection part between the Micro-LED chip and the growth substrate is GaN (gallium nitride), and GaN can be partially decomposed to generate nitrogen gas (2GaN→2Ga+N 2 ) when irradiated by laser light. Therefore, when the When the material of the connection part between the Micro-LED and the growth substrate is GaN, when the laser is used to irradiate the side of the growth substrate away from the Micro-LED, the laser can pass through the transparent growth substrate and irradiate the Micro-LED. On one side of the LED, part of the GaN at the connection between the Micro-LED and the growth substrate decomposes, and the nitrogen gas generated can form a certain thrust, which helps the Micro-LED to fall off from the growth substrate. Gallium metal will remain on the electrode surface of the Micro-LED, as shown in Figure 1. The metal gallium remaining on the micro-LED chip after laser stripping is often pickled. damage.
基于此,本发明希望提供一种能够解决上述技术问题的方案,其详细内容将在后续实施例中得以阐述。Based on this, the present invention hopes to provide a solution capable of solving the above-mentioned technical problems, and its details will be described in subsequent embodiments.

容易理解的,在连续的生产过程中,工艺腔室10内部的温度是不均匀的,为了保证金属镓的去除效率(比如说温度低于35℃时,虽然能够使金属镓由固态变成熔融态加以去除,但是去除的速率较慢),可以通过设置温度检测器112对流出的流体温度进行检测,根据检测结果可以反向评估工艺腔室10内部流体的温度。比如说所流出的流体温度为33℃,工艺腔室10内表面上的温度感应器检测出的流体温度为40℃,意味着工艺腔室10内部的流体温度局部是偏低的,为了提升金属镓的去除效率,则可以通过升高所通入流体的温度的方式来加以调节。It is easy to understand that in the continuous production process, the temperature inside the
在本实施例中,将流体入口100设置在工艺腔室10的上方,流体出口110设置在工艺腔室10的下方,即位于工艺腔室10上部的为流体入口100,位于下部的为流体出口110。在使用过程中,从上方对工艺腔室10进行补充流体,可以避免对底部的流体造成扰动,影响去除效果。In this embodiment, the
在本实施例的一种实施方式中,在所述工艺腔室10上还设置有真空度传感器13用于对工艺腔室10内部的真空度进行检测。在流体进出所述工艺腔室10、以及对微发光二极管芯片进行取放的过程中,均会对工艺腔室10内的真空度造成一定的影响,因此可以在所述工艺腔室10顶部开设抽真空的抽气口120,用于对工艺腔室10抽真空,保证所述工艺腔室10的真空氛围,所述抽气口120透过抽真空管道(图未示出)与真空泵(图未示出)连接。In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the
