Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the above technology, the P-type AlGaN layer does not block enough electrons, and the horizontal expansion of holes is not uniform, resulting in low luminous efficiency, and the superlattice lattice mismatch in the P-type region is large, which easily causes epitaxial wafers to break.

Abstract

The invention relates to a GaN-based LED epitaxial structure and a growth method of an n-type GaN structure, including a substrate layer, a buffer layer, an n-type structure, a multi-quantum well light-emitting layer and a p-type structure arranged sequentially from bottom to top; The n-type structure includes an n-type GaN layer with a low-doped Si concentration gradient, a Si-doped n-type AlGaN layer, a u-type GaN layer, and a highly-doped Si n-type GaN layer arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The present invention adopts an n-type superlattice structure with a layer of nAlGaN inserted in the middle of a combination of high and low doping, successfully overcomes the method of blindly using high-doped nGaN to reduce the luminous voltage in the prior art, and makes a breakthrough in structural design. Based on growth experience, it was unexpectedly found that high-doped nGaN and low-doped nGaN are used to match the middle nAlGaN layer. This method can increase the electron concentration, thereby increasing the electron mobility and reducing the luminous voltage; at the same time, the growth of the n-type region determines the stability of the entire LED structure, especially parameters such as reverse voltage, antistatic ability and leakage.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a GaN-based LED epitaxy structure and a growth method with an n-type GaN structure, and belongs to the technical field of LED epitaxy design. Background technique [0002] In the early 1990s, the third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials represented by nitrides made a historic breakthrough. Researchers successfully prepared blue-green and ultraviolet LEDs on gallium nitride materials, making LED lighting become possible. In 1971, the first gallium nitride LED die came out. In 1994, gallium nitride HEMTs appeared blue light GaN-based diodes with high electron mobility, and gallium nitride semiconductor materials developed very rapidly. [0003] Semiconductor light-emitting diodes have the advantages of small size, ruggedness, strong controllability of light-emitting bands, high luminous efficiency, low heat loss, low light decay, energy saving, and environmental protection. Communication and other fields have a wid...
