[0003] Among them, the epitaxial wafer mainly includes an N-type layer, an MQW (Multiple Quantum Well) layer and a P-type layer. When current passes through the epitaxial wafer, electrons in the N-type layer and holes in the P-type layer recombine in the MQW layer, and then emit energy in the form of photons. Therefore, the MQW layer is also called the light-emitting layer. The MQW layer is a multilayer structure formed by alternate growth of two different thin layers of semiconductor materials. One thin layer of semiconductor material is a quan...
