Introduction to Infrared Lamp Bead Manufacturing

Infrared lamp beads are a type of semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED) that emits infrared light. They are made of gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), or other semiconductor materials. Infrared lamp beads have the advantages of high brightness, long life, and low power consumption, making them an ideal choice for various applications. The manufacturing process of infrared lamp beads mainly includes the following steps: 1. Material preparation: The raw materials used in the production of infrared lamp beads are mainly gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, and other semiconductor materials. These materials are processed and purified to ensure the quality of the final product. 2. Epitaxy: Epitaxy is a key process in the production of infrared lamp beads. It involves growing a thin layer of semiconductor material on a substrate, which is usually a silicon wafer. The epitaxy process can be divided into two types: molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). 3. Photoetching: After epitaxy, the wafer needs to be photoetched to form the required structure. This process uses a mask to expose the wafer surface, and then etching is performed to form the required pattern. 4. Ion implantation: Ion implantation is used to introduce impurities into the semiconductor material, which can improve the electrical properties of the infrared lamp bead. 5. Annealing: Annealing is a process of heating the wafer to remove defects and improve the quality of the infrared lamp bead. 6. Bonding: The infrared lamp bead is bonded to a metal substrate, which is usually a ceramic substrate. This process is called bonding. 7. Packaging: The final step is packaging, which involves encapsulating the infrared lamp bead in a protective material to ensure its long-term stability.
