For a long time, Youweixing has focused on the industrial application of ultraviolet LED. Unlike traditional mercury lamps, UVLEDs emit light by utilizing non-equilibrium carrier radiation recombination near the p-n junction, thereby eliminating energy waste caused by thermal effects. They are also more durable and do not produce electromagnetic pollution







Preparation process of Youwei Starlight Source products

UVLEDs can be divided into three types based on their structure: horizontal, vertical, and inverted. The Youweixing UVA and UVC light sources respectively use the ones located in SuzhouOur own epitaxial chip factoryThe horizontal and inverted products produced




Youweixing UVA-LEDThe preparation process of the light source can be summarized as follows


  1. Epitaxial growth of buffer layer, n-type region, active region, EBL, and p-type region on sapphire substrate in sequence

  2. ITO transparent electrodes and metal electrodes will be deposited on the epitaxial surface of the p-type region, followed by etching one corner of the epitaxial wafer to the n-type region and preparing electrodes on this platform

  3. Separate packaging. This process involves multiple techniques such as epitaxy, annealing, vapor deposition, polishing, photolithography, etching, and grinding


The epitaxial substrate is the basis for material growth

It is to prepare high-quality productsUVLEDThe primary condition

Inverted UVLED

It is to invert the horizontal LED on a substrate with high thermal conductivity, which has good heat dissipation performance and is easier to change the series parallel relationship between devices


Differences from UVA-LED

It lies in its key processing technology - flip chip bonding, a technology that connects device electrodes and substrate wiring layers: first, the surface of the substrate wiring layer is metalized using electron beam evaporation technology, then metal bumps are prepared using wafer ball implantation mechanism, and finally, fully automatic flip chip bonding equipment is used to complete the bonding







Youweixing's core technology for the entire UV LED industry chain



extension:

The method of depositing a single crystal thin film with a specific crystal orientation on the surface of a single crystal substrate

The crystals obtained by this growth method have a similar crystal orientation to the substrate crystal, just like the outward extension of the substrate crystal orientation


Lithography process

Copy the required graphics onto the epitaxial substrate and use etching technology to remove the unnecessary parts, completing the final graphics

1. Evenly coat the surface of the epitaxial wafer with photoresist (a substance that can solidify or melt under specific light) and bake it

2. Position the mask template on the epitaxial wafer and expose it

3. Wash off unwanted photoresist (development) and perform a hard film treatment on the required photoresist

4. After checking the graphics for accuracy, perform etching treatment and remove the remaining photoresist when everything is complete


Etching

Using corrosive gases or liquids to corrode wafers

The parts of the wafer that need to be etched are usually marked by photolithography, while the remaining parts are protected by photoresist (positive photoresist)


Vapor deposition process

Weld the electrodes of UVLED

The ITO transparent electrode and various metal electrodes commonly used in UVLED can be achieved through vapor deposition technology


encapsulation

Directly affecting the light output rate and reliability of the device is a key process in device preparation. The encapsulation process can usually be divided into five steps

1. Prepare chips and brackets

2. Solid crystal

3. Pressure welding

4. Sealing

5. Cutting and testing
