Embodiment Construction

[0030] The invention provides a method for manufacturing a tunnel junction-enhanced ultraviolet LED epitaxial structure, which uses the strain field generated by the superlattice to move the energy band of the AlGaN material in the SSL structure to a low-energy direction as a whole, and forms p-AlGaN / SSL / n*-AlGaN tunnel junction, providing hole carriers. Include at least the following steps:

[0031]Epitaxial growth using MOCVD (Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Depositiong, metal organic compound chemical vapor deposition) or PAMBE system:

[0032] 1) An AlN buffer layer 2 is prepared on the epitaxial substrate 1 with a thickness of 10 nm to 500 nm;

[0033] 2) Growing Si-doped n-type Al on the substrate 1 on which the AlN buffer layer 2 has been grown 0.77 Ga 0.23 N layer 3;

[0034] 3) Five multiple quantum well layers 4 are alternately grown on the n-type AlGaN layer 3; the material of the multiple quantum well layers is Al 0.65 Ga 0.35 N / Al 0.7 Ga 0.3 N;

Abstract

The invention provides a strained superlattice tunnel junction ultraviolet LED (light emitting diode) epitaxial structure and a production method thereof. The epitaxial structure from top to bottom comprises: an epitaxial growth substrate, an AlN buffer layer, an n-type AlGaN layer, a multiple quantum wells, an electron blocking layer, a strained superlattice, an n-type degenerate doped AlGaN layer, and an n-type Si-doped AlGaN layer. The strained superlattice comprises a p-type AlGaN layer and an AlyGa1-yN / AlxGa1-xN. An AlGaN energy band, under effects of a polarized electric field, moves as a whole along a low energy direction. A superlattice structure contacts a heavily doped n-type AlGaN to form a p-AlGaN / SSL / n *-AlGaN tunnel junction. Electrons of a p-type AlGaN valence band, under effects of an external electric field, carried out tunneling through a tunnel effect to one side of the n-type AlGaN, and a hole is formed in the p-type AlGaN. The n-AlGaN is used as the cladding material instead of the p-type AlGaN, so that the problem of the p-type ohmic contact is avoided.
