Abstract

The application discloses an LED epitaxial growth method. The LED epitaxial growth method comprises the following steps: processing a sapphire substrate; growing a low-temperature buffer layer; annealing the low-temperature buffer layer; growing a Si-undoped N-GaN layer; growing a first Si-doped N-GaN layer; growing a second Si-doped N-GaN layer; growing a luminous layer; growing a pAlGaN / pInMgN / pInGaN superlattice layer; growing a high-temperature Mg-doped P-GaN layer; finally cooling down to 650-680 DEG C, keeping the temperature for 20-30 min, closing down a heating system and an air supply system, and performing furnace cooling. According to the LED epitaxial growth method, the novel material (pAlGaN / pInMgN / pInGaN superlattice layer) serves as a novel electronic barrier layer, and the atomic activity of In is utilized to reduce the activation energy of Mg, so that the Mg activation efficiency, the Mg doping efficiency, the hole concentration and the hole injection efficiency are improved, and the light efficiency of an LED device is promoted.
