The invention refers to the testing of semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs), namely to a method of detecting the presence of defects in them led structure. This method can be used for quality control led Board structure, including members of the various products on their basis (lamps, displays, matrix) at all stages of production.

There is a method for quality control instrument silicon layers in compositions type silicon on insulator, presented in the patent RF №2150158 "Method of control of defects in silicon films on dielectric substrates", IPC H01L 21/66, publ. 22.02.1999. The method, which can also be applied to determine the quality of the led patterns, includes ellipsometric measurements of refractive index films in conditions of heating the tested structure from room temperature to 350 to 400 K. the nature of the changes defined in the refractive index judge the quality of the films. Before measurements patterns within 1-5 minutes it is treated with ultrasound with frequency 20-40 kHz in chemically inactive liquid. The technical result in the claimed method is because processing structures to ellipsometric measurements leads to the diffusion of impurity atmospheres around defects in silicon film, resulting increases the amplitude of the heterogeneity of other fields of stresses in the film, which determine the increase of the gradient of the refractive index on the film surface, which is fixed by heating (cooling) patterns from room temperature up to the temperature 350-100 K. The method allows to increase sensitivity of ellipsometric control of defects in silicon films on dielectric substrates and led structures SD.

The method is applied method of ellipsometry, which has a relatively low informative value and necessity of use of physical models. This has a destructive character, as it requires pre-treatment of samples led patterns ultrasound, further diagnostics are performed in conditions of high temperatures. Both of these stages may occur corruption of the sample. Used for ellipsometric measurements equipment is relatively expensive and does not allow non-destructive way to explore compositepane led patterns, including members of the products on their basis.

There is a method of continuous katodolyuminestsentsii used for complex diagnostics of parameters, including quality, various materials, in particular led patterns (Solomon V.I. "Luminescent analysis of solids: new opportunities", magazine "Bulletin of Ural Department of RAS, 2008, №2 (24), p.21-27: Chukichev M.V., Sabria D.M., Sokolov V.I. and others "Cathodoluminescence solid solutions Zn 1-Mn x x Se", the journal "Optics and spectroscopy", 1990, volume 68, number 1, s-202). The method consists in the following: sample led patterns bombing fast (primary) electrons, causing the effect of katodolyuminestsentsii. To ensure the continued katodolyuminestsentsii necessary to ensure the flow of the injected into the sample of charge to remove the limitation of luminescence and injection of electrons in matter. As this measure is used by the emission of fast secondary electrons from the surface of the sample in vacuum or effluent charge is carried out through a thin metal layer, put on the irradiated surface of the sample. To implement this method, you want to place the sample led patterns in a vacuum to remove the surface layer of the substance in the thickness of 20 micron, and to provide a high current density of injected electrons And 50-100/cm 2 , the impact of which warms up to the critical temperature of the test sample. Received radiation register the special spectrometers, and further analysis of experimental data allows to detect defects in the led structure.

The disadvantage of this method is its destructive nature and use of expensive equipment (vacuum conditions you want to remove the surface layer of the substance). Used to implement the process of continuous katodolyuminestsentsii equipment does not allow non-destructive way to explore compositepane led patterns, including members of the products on their basis.

The known method of pulse katodolyuminestsentsii (TCL), which can be used for spectral-luminescence analysis of condensed matter to determine their structure and the presence of point defects, in particular for determining the quality led structures (Solomon V.I. "Luminescent analysis of solids: new opportunities", magazine "Bulletin of Ural Department of RAS, 2008, №2 (24), p.21-27). For its implementation it is required to irradiate the sample led patterns of pulses (beams) of high-energy electrons E =100-200 Kev and nanosecond duration. Such electrons penetrate solid substance to a depth d e =100-150 microns, which is greater than the thickness of the surface layer enriched with defects, so in this way there is no need to install the sample in a vacuum chamber and remove its surface layer. Limits on the duration of electrons injection nanosecond intervals leads to elimination of the problem of heating the irradiated volume. The resulting exposure katodolyuminestsentsii register the special spectrometers. In the middle afterglow of katodolyuminestsentsii, even at room temperature samples, there is a fine structure of the bands intracenter population and structural-sensitive ikl. The luminescence centers are point defects led patterns. Definition of quality led patterns is done through the analysis of the obtained spectra of katodolyuminestsentsii.

The disadvantage of TCL is the use of expensive equipment (such as desktop pulse katodolyuminestsentsii spectrograph), which does not allow non-destructive way to explore compositepane led patterns, including members of the products on their basis.

There is a method of diagnostics of semiconductor heterostructures, including led, titled "Method of local katodolyuminestsentsii" (Zamoryanskaya MS, Konnikova YEAR, "New possibilities of x-ray spectrum microanalysis and local katodolyuminestsentsii for the diagnosis of multilayer structures and nanomaterials", journal industrial laboratory. Diagnostics of materials. Special issue", 2005, volume 74, p.62-66). In applying this method a sample of the led patterns bombing by fast electrons, causing the effect of katodolyuminestsentsii. For the formation of the electron beam used column x-ray microanalysis. To obtain spectra local katodolyuminestsentsii stationary mode. In this mode, the sample is continuously irradiated by an electron beam. Scanning of spectra is carried out by the turn of the diffraction grating on the specified steps, followed by a reading of the signal with the photomultiplier tube in the photon counting mode. Subsequent analysis of experimental data among other things allows you to get information about the homogeneity of the sample and determine the spatial distribution of defects in the samples. Features of the size of the energy of bombarding electrons and transmission emitting centres cause strong dependence of brightness of katodolyuminestsentsii to the degree of perfection of the crystal structure of the material. This feature of katodolyuminestsentsii and is used to register the defectiveness of the led patterns. To assess its quality is also possible along the length of electron diffusion.

The disadvantage of this method is the use of an expensive, complicated and cumbersome equipment and impossibility of research of quality of housed led structures, including members of the products on their basis.

1) application of expensive and complex equipment of high resolution;

2) the ability to determine the quality not only of housed led structures.

The task, which directed the claimed invention is a method of quality control led Board structure, which allows to reach the technical result consists in reducing its cost, use, when used less bulky equipment, the possibility of research led patterns of housed SD, including members of the products on their basis.

Essence of the invention consists in that in the way of quality control led patterns, which consists in the registration of the radiation of led patterns, handling radiation for characterizing the led structure upon which to judge the quality of the led patterns for each led patterns of party items, register range of electroluminescence led patterns, carry out construction of the measured spectrum in semi-logarithmic scale, the share of the short-wave region of the received spectrum for the land that approximate the dependence y=a*exp(-bx), where

at - the intensity of radiation,

x - energy photons,

b - coefficient, numerically equal to 1/kT,

a - weighting factor that takes into account the dependence E g (T),

T is the temperature of the led patterns,

E. g - width of the forbidden zone of the active area of the BOD,

and choose approximated areas of maximum and minimum slope, next, determine the maximum and minimum temperatures led patterns on selected sites, determine the value of the difference of temperatures, calculate the mean value of temperature differences, carry out a comparison of the values of temperature differences for each led structure with middle if the value of difference of temperatures is more than the average, makes the conclusion about the low quality structures.

The peculiarity of the proposed method is that changes in the spectra of electroluminescence led patterns caused by impurities, composition fluctuations in the solid solution, fluctuations of the parameters of heterojunctions and parameters of quantum wells, and excitonic effects and transitions in shallow acceptor States, significantly affect the long-wavelength part of the spectrum led patterns and the position of its maximum, while short-wave part of the spectrum of luminescence remains slabocuvstivenami to the aforementioned effects. In the basis of the method of determining the temperature inhomogeneities, allowing to judge the quality of the led patterns, is theory of van Rybreka - Shockley, which allowed transitions zone was obtained expression that describes a range of self-electroluminescence:

F ( ω ) = With ' ( T ) x k ( ω ) x exp ( - h ω 2 PI k T )

where E g - width of the forbidden zone of the material, k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature of the active region. The multiplier With a'(T) entered all the values that are not dependent on the photon energy hω. Its value depends on the temperature, the level of excitation (current) and the quantum yield of luminescence. Essentially'(T) can be regarded as normalizing multiplier k (W) of the spectrum of the intrinsic absorption:

k ( ω ) = A h ω 2 PI - E g

The maximum of the spectrum of luminescence zone is located at the energy ћω=E g +kT/2, and the width is proportional to RT.

The quality of the led patterns characterized by defects of the active region, which determines the value of temperature inhomogeneities in it. The higher the defectiveness of the active region led patterns, the greater the probability of nonradiative recombination and lower the brightness of the led patterns. In semi-logarithmic scale, short-wave part of the spectrum led patterns can be a set of direct, the slope of which is determined only RT, i.e. temperature, areas of its active area, where radiative recombination. The presence of different slopes of such sites curves says on nonuniform temperature distribution in the active region led patterns. On heating the active region led patterns of high quality affects mainly the distribution of current in it, so at this led to the structure temperature above in the part of the active region in which more current density. The highest current density in the active region, as a rule, formed under the contact led patterns, so in this part of the structure of an increase in temperature of the crystal, but relatively small in magnitude. If the active area of the defect, the probability of nonradiative recombination in its surroundings will dramatically increase. This will cause significant local overheating of the structure and the size of thermal inhomogeneity will be significantly higher than the quality structure that contains no defects. In the study of party ready led structures temperature difference under the contact, and in the periphery of the crystal is on average the same for all structures of high quality. If the party exists poor quality led structure, the temperature difference in the active region is far above the average. This will allow to detect the presence of a defect in the active region led patterns and identify poor-quality samples in the party is ready LEDs.

Registration of electroluminescence spectra is carried out as follows: radiation testing led structures (including members of the various products on their basis) is going fiber connected to the spectrometer quick scan, in which it, getting on diffraction grating, decomposed by wavelength and is registered silicon CCD. Measurement of one MD and the definition of its defects can be done in a very short period of time (0.1 s or less).

Spectrometers quick scan in comparison with IR microscopes more compact and cheap. For registration of electroluminescence used fiber and spectrometer quick scan, so the method is non-contact and allows you to explore compositepane led patterns, including members of the products on their basis.

Thus, the proposed method is based on the analysis of the spectrum of luminescence led patterns, so it does not require too bulky and relatively expensive equipment, in addition, allows non-destructive way to explore the quality of the active area of the BOD, members of the products on their basis.

The invention is illustrated by the following drawings:

Example

At an operating current of 10 mA measured spectrum of electroluminescence party led structures LEDs spectrometrically instrument with a spectral resolution not lower than 1 MeV (about 0,04 kT) in the range of the signal at least two orders of magnitude from its values at maximum.

The spectra were built in semi-logarithmic scale in coordinates 1g(I (W) /I (W)max )=f(W) (see figure 1). Then the short-wave region of the spectrum was divided into plots. Areas were approximiately expression (see figure 2):

y=a*exp(-b),

where x is the energy of the photons, is the intensity of radiation (UNED), b is the coefficient of numerically equal to 1/kT, a - weighting factor that takes into account the dependence E g (T).

At the specified coordinates with the short wavelength end of the spectrum, ranging from energy photons about 20 MeV above ћω max on the slope of the linear plot, determined the desired temperature selected sites led patterns, according to the formula:

T = 1 b x k , T min = 1 34.5 x 8.5 x 10 - 5 = 341 K = 68 ° C , T max = 1 30.4 x 8.5 x 10 - 5 = 387 K = 114 ° C , Δ T = T max - T min = 114 - 68 = 46 ° C .

As can be seen, the difference in temperature of the active region this led is 46 deg C and above average (19 C). We can assume that it is defective.

Thus, the proposed method allows to reduce its cost, use less cumbersome and expensive equipment and to determine the quality of housed LEDs, including members of the products on their basis.
