Problems solved by technology

[0008] Aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a P-type superlattice structure capable of confining holes and blocking electrons, thereby improving brightness and having a small lattice mismatch, so as to solve the problem of P-type AlGaN layer pairing electrons in the prior art. Insufficient blocking, low luminous efficiency caused by uneven lateral expansion of holes, and large lattice mismatch of the superlattice in the P-type region caused insufficient fracture of the epitaxial wafer

Abstract

The invention relates to a GaN-based LED epitaxial structure and a growth method for improving luminous efficiency. In the LED epitaxial structure, there are a nucleation layer, a buffer layer, an n-type GaN layer, a multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, and a P-type structure on the substrate from bottom to top. The P-type structure is composed of an insertion layer and a P-type GaN layer in sequence. Or P-type GaN layer, insertion layer and P-type GaN layer; the insertion layer is a P-type superlattice of LD / PAlXInYGa1-X-YN / HD, LD is a low-doped P-type AlUInNGa1-N-UN layer, and HD is a high Doped P-type AlZInWGa1-Z-WN layer. The present invention uses the P-type superlattice structure, the low-doped LD part prevents P-type impurities from diffusing to the lower light-emitting region, and the high-doped HD part provides a large number of holes; the combination of low-doped and high-doped can provide a large number of holes In this case, the overflow of holes is blocked. At the same time, the P-type AlInGaN layer can effectively trap holes and improve the lateral expansion of holes while blocking electrons. The GaN-based LED with the P-type structure of the invention can significantly improve the quantum efficiency of the device.
