Abstract

The invention provides a novel growing method for an extension structure to grow in an ultraviolet LED active area. A plurality of quantum well base layers grow in a special mode, finally the radiation luminescence of ultraviolet light can be achieved better, and the lighting effect of an ultraviolet LED can be improved. According to the method, in the process of growing of a plurality of periods of AlxGal-xN/AlyGal-yN quantum well base layers, the aluminum components of the base layers of the AlyGal-yN change in a progressive increasing mode, the electron barrier crossing barrier energy is reduced at the beginning, the current is evenly extended behind an enhanced barrier, the voltage is reduced, the limitation function of electrons is improved, meanwhile, a hole can be extended towards a center active area in the injection process very well, and the luminous efficiency of the whole ultraviolet LED can be improved, wherein as for each base layer, the Al content keeps constant in the growing process of the base layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic device preparation, and in particular relates to a method for growing a violet LED epitaxial active region structure. Background technique [0002] With the development of LED applications, the market demand for ultraviolet LEDs is increasing. Ultraviolet LEDs with emission wavelengths covering 210-400nm have advantages that traditional ultraviolet light sources cannot match. In lighting, biomedicine, anti-counterfeiting identification, air, water purification, biochemical detection, high-density information storage, etc., it can replace traditional ultraviolet mercury lamps containing toxic and harmful substances. At present, the growth of purple LEDs is limited and doped by the growth materials themselves. Due to the influence of difficulty, the luminous efficiency is generally low. How to improve the luminous efficiency is the focus of today's UV LED epitaxy. We found tha...
