1. Research question
1.1. Introduction
MicroLED is a display technology that gives out light by tiny-sized LED,
which is smaller than 50 μm. It can be applied in the area of
augmented reality, extra-large displays, smartwatches, and so on,
appealing to many companies from all over the world.
1. Research question
1.2. Research motivation
A review of microLED technology is important for both academia and
industry to gain a fuller picture of the materials and processes that are
explored, the performance and potential of each technology route.
1. Research question
1.2. Research motivation—— Why is microLED important?
Pixels in applications like AR glasses need to be minified.
(why “micro”)
Physical properties of microLED is better.
(why “LED”)
1. Research question
1.3. Advantages of this research
To date, several microLED reviews have been published, however as the
field is progressing rapidly, many of these works are not up to date. Key
literature reviews studied in this investigation are mainly published
from 2018 to 2021.
Besides, this review combines both traditional and novel
manufacturing routines, drawing a whole picture of this technology.
2. Research methodology
• Methodology:
• investigation method(Search for published literatures and
so on)
• literature research method
• quantitative analysis method(draw a table to compare different
techniques)
• qualitative analysis method(conclude the advantages of
different display technologies)
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.1. Traditional manufacturing process
3.1.1. Flow path
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.1.2. Emphasis---- mass transfer
Since LED of three colours cannot be grown directly on the device
substrate, mass transfer is indispensable in the whole process before
more cutting-edge technologies arise, being the most difficult.
Therefore it is of great importance to sort the development of this
technology, by the composition of several camps. However, some of
them which are not cut-edging and promising such as roll printing will
not be included.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.1.2.1. Self-assembly
Direct self-assembly:
To precisely install micro LED devices at the correct position, the
constraint has to be built on the target substrates, which is in most
conditions achieved by a magnetic field. The devices are about to be
magnetified and poured onto the platform, being guided by a magnetic
field to get to where they suppose to be.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.1.2.1. Self-assembly
Fluidic self-assembly:
There are wells on the targets substrates that trap micro LED devices
and settle them down by their gravity. To attach to the substrates, the
chips are stuck by alloy, which is molten in advance and cooled down
after catching chips. The shape of the chips is changed into a circular
design instead of a traditional rectangular shape with the aim not to
concern the orientation of each chip.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.1.2.2. Pick and place
apply silicon electrodes to remove devices from a source substrate to
receiving substrate may be, but is not limited to, a display substrate, a
lighting substrate, a substrate with functional devices such as
transistors or integrated circuits (ICs), or a substrate with metal
redistribution lines. The silicon substrates are able to be charged
positively or negatively to pick or place the devices.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.1.2.3. Selective release
The advantage of this technology is that a process of detection and repairing
is involved, enhancing the field of micro LED products. This technique has a
similar process as the pick and place, except the device can be removed to
receiving substrate from the source substrate directly by photoetching. After
detecting, we can just pick up the addressed MicroLED chips mapping to
defect positions from the LED wafer, then selective mass transfer to the
backplane. The whole detecting and transferring process are achieved by
laser and related technology.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.2. Monolithic integration
Since micro LEDs have been put into application, more and more
challenges are keeping coming out, such as the process of mass
transfer being exorbitant in cost or inconvenient in producing
photolithography equipment such as AR glasses.
Monolithic integration is a routine that layers of LED materials can be
grown on device substrates directly by some kinds of wafer-level
monolithic hybrid integration technologies. Applying this, we can
produce micro LED screens on devices such as AR glasses directly
without mass transfer.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.2.1. How to grow LED materials
To avoid any damage to the GaN layer, monolithic integration can be
adopted to circumvent dry-etching. Rather than dry etching, SiO2
microhole masks are made on the template by etching SiO2 film grown
on the template. Epitaxy is able to take place in these microholes
afterwards.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.2.1. How to grow LED materials
Besides, photoetching is another way to realize direct growth. A layer
of indium tin oxide (ITO, 115 nm) was deposited on the p-GaN layer by
e-beam evaporation and patterned by wet etching in diluted aqua regia
using photoresist as etching mask. Then the photoresist that protects
materials beneath it was remained as masks to define individual micro-
LEDs by dry etching GaN.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.2.2. How to colourization
The quantum dots which absorb light and give out light of different
colours are applied, to make blue LED red or green. The technique
mainly uses atomized QDs ink by ultra-sonic/pneumatic and sprays
uniform and size-controlled QDs materials with a sprayer and airflow
control.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.2.3. How to restrain optical crosstalk
The optical crosstalk between neighbouring micro-LED pixels can be a
factor to decrease contrast, which is able to be suppressed by some
ingenious adjustments for monolithic integration.
To reduce the optical cross-talk effect, a mold with open windows and
blocking walls is available. The window size here is the same as the
micro-LEDs, and the unopened region forms the blocking wall that is
just the shape of the trench between micro-LEDs.
3. Achievement of this investigation
3.2.3. How to restrain optical crosstalk
By applying inductively coupled plasma etching technology, we can dig
gullies on the sapphire substrate as microreflectors, which reflect
emitting lights and focus them. Each micro-LED pixel owns an individual
sapphire microreflector that can directly concentrate rays from an
emitting source.
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, we have made an introduction to micro LED’s
manufacturing process. Especially, we present the mass transfer and
monolithic integration technologies which are the keys to achieving
micro LED volume production.
On the one hand, monolithic integration technology may attract more
researchers for its advantage in feasibility, on the other hand, the
traditional mass transfer routine will be still developed for its market
maturity.
4. Conclusion
As for mass transfer, pick and place is the mainstream method,
developing by companies like Mikro Mesa, Cooledge, and Apple’s
subsidiary corporation LuxVue. However, selective release and self-
assembly is early-stage but potential respectively because of its
repairing capability and high assembly efficiency.
4. Conclusion
However, in the aim to be applied in AR, micro LED’s chip size should be
no larger than 5 microns. While smaller size leads to lower quantum
efficiency and harder transfer methods so material scientists will keep
discovering means to enhance EQE.
