Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a light emitting diode, in particular to a deep ultraviolet light emitting diode which can effectively improve the external quantum efficiency and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] As a new type of high-efficiency solid-state light source, light-emitting diodes have significant advantages such as energy saving, environmental protection, and rich colors. Among them, deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (Deep Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diode, DUV-LED) with a wavelength between 220 and 350 nm are used in air purification, biomedical and other fields have a wide range of applications. However, due to the constraints of high film defect density, polarity mixing, and light absorption by electrodes, the light output power is seriously lost, which restricts the further improvement of the external quantum efficiency of DUV-LEDs. [0003] Surface Plasmon Polariton (SPP) is a localized electromagnetic wave mod...
