Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] [0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and more particularly to a method of fabricating a light-emitting diode. [Previous Technology #] [0002] Manufacturing a vertical structure light-emitting diode, usually by growing an epitaxial layer on a sapphire substrate, and then plating or bonding a metal or semiconductor substrate material having good electrical and thermal conductivity. The epitaxial layer is bonded to the epitaxial layer to form a new substrate of the epitaxial layer, and the epitaxial layer and the sapphire substrate are separated by a laser lift-off technique or a polished square method. Due to the application of today's technology to large-area wafers, there are two problems with the laser stripping technology: first, equipment cost and operating cost are high, resulting in increased processing costs; second, laser stripping technology is used to destroy epitaxial crystals due to high energy using laser. The interface between the layer and the sapphire substrate tends to deteriorate the performance of the light-emitting diode, and the generated stress also easily breaks the epitaxial layer. In addition, the size of the laser spot also affects the processing time and is not suitable for large-area wafers. Compared with the above-mentioned laser stripping technology, the physical polishing technology has a relatively low cost and manufacturing time... It does not need to consider the size of the wafer, but in the grinding process, the grinding machine is difficult to distinguish between the substrate and the epitaxial layer. The interface between the two is easily destroyed to the epitaxial layer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a method for fabricating a light-emitting diode having a high yield rate, which can be simultaneously applied to wafers of different sizes. [0004] A method of manufacturing a light-emitting diode, comprising the steps of: providing a first substrate; generating an abrasive blocking layer on the first substrate, the grinding 099125011 Form No. A0101 Page 3 / 17 pages 0992043935- 0 201205856 The hardness of the blocking layer is greater than the hardness of the first substrate; a light emitting diode epitaxial layer is grown on the polishing stop layer; a second substrate is bonded on the LED epitaxial layer; The first substrate is described. [0005] In the manufacturing method of the light-emitting diode, since the removal speed of the polishing stopper layer is rapidly decreased relative to the first substrate, the polishing depth can be accurately controlled, and the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting diode is effectively protected from Destruction, thereby improving the yield of the light-emitting diode. [Embodiment] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. [0017] Please refer to FIG. 1-6, a method for manufacturing a light-emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps. As shown in FIG. 1, first, a first substrate 11 is provided. The material of the first substrate u may be selected from the group consisting of alumina, tantalum, gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, carbon carbide, sapphire, and the like. [〇_] As shown in FIG. 2, a polishing stopper layer 12 is formed on the first base 11 . The hardness of the abrasion preventing layer 12 is greater than that of the first substrate, which may be a transparent material or an opaque material. Preferably, the abrasive stop layer 12 is a transparent material' which may not need to be removed in subsequent processes. The material of the polishing stopper layer 12 may be selected from one or more of diamond, diamond-like carbon, tantalum carbide, aluminum oxide, quartz, tantalum nitride, hafnium oxide, gallium nitride, aluminum nitride, and indium nitride. the mix of. The polishing stopper layer 12 may be formed on the first substrate 11 by metal organic chemical chemical vapor deposition (M0CVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), evaporation, sputtering, or the like. . The grinding prevention layer 12 may be an island-shaped dot shape 099125011 Form No. A0101 Page 4 / 17 pages 0992043935-0 201205856 or any form such as a sheet shape and uniformly distributed on the surface of the first substrate u, the remaining gap may be The path of current circulation, in addition, the formation of some bump structures before the growth of the stupid layer can also reduce the epitaxial structure defects. The thickness of the polishing stop layer 12 is about 微米. 7 μm to 2 μm to facilitate the growth of the epitaxial layer 13 of the light-emitting diode next. [0010] As shown in FIG. 3, a light-emitting diode crystal layer 13 is grown on the polishing stopper layer 12. The light emitting diode epitaxial layer 13 has a multilayer composite structure composed of a compound semiconductor. The compound semiconductor includes a group semiconductor and a Π-VI semiconductor. In the current field of photodiodes, the most common are GaN-based materials. As shown in Fig. 4, a second substrate 14 is bonded to the LED epitaxial layer 13. The material of the second substrate 14 may be a conductive material such as dream, inscription, or copper. The bonding method may be metal bonding or bonding, or may be electroplating, electroless plating or spin coating. [0012] As shown in FIG. 5, the first substrate 11 is removed by grinding. Since the hardness of the polishing stopper layer 12 is greater than the hardness of the first substrate 11, when the substrate 11 is polished to reach the polishing stopper layer 12, the polishing speed is significantly lowered due to an increase in hardness, so that Proper measurement and monitoring during the grinding process can determine the appropriate point to stop grinding. Due to the presence of the polishing stop layer 12, the epitaxial layer 13 of the light-emitting diode can be effectively protected from damage. As shown in FIG. 6, a portion of the polishing stop layer 12 is still formed on the LED epitaxial layer 13, and a composite surface 16 is formed with the LED layer 13 when the polishing is performed. When the material of the blocking layer 12 is a transparent material, 099125011, Form No. A0101, Page 5 / Total 17 Page 0992043935-0 [0013] 201205856 The electrode 15 can be formed directly on the composite surface 16 without removing the layer, forming a vertical structure. Light-emitting diode 10. [0014] As shown in FIG. 7, the composite surface 16 may be further roughened by a dry or wet etching method to improve the light output efficiency of the light emitting diode 10. . [0015] As shown in FIG. 8, in other embodiments, the polishing stop layer 12 may be removed by etching to expose the LED epitaxial layer 13 and the electrode is directly plated on the light. On the diode epitaxial layer 13, the surface of the light-emitting diode epitaxial layer 13 can be further roughened to improve the light output efficiency of the light-emitting diode 10. [0016] In the manufacturing method of the light-emitting diode, since the removal speed of the polishing stopper layer is rapidly decreased relative to the first substrate, the polishing depth can be precisely controlled, and the epitaxial layer of the light-emitting diode is effectively protected from damage. The method is more effective for large-area wafers, which can save production cost and time, and improve the yield of light-emitting diodes. In addition, those skilled in the art can make other changes within the spirit of the present invention. Of course, all changes made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
