Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the efficiency of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes below 315 nanometers is relatively low, and the external quantum efficiency is only less than 15%. AlGaN materials have a high dislocation density (>10 10 cm -2 ), these dislocations may extend to the active region of the quantum well, thereby forming a non-radiative recombination center, and finally the internal quantum efficiency of the LED device is reduced
Second, the doping of AlGaN materials with high Al composition is difficult
Since there is no inversion symmetry, the AlGaN material with wurtzite structure has strong spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization along the [0001] growth direction, and a polarization of MV / cm level can be formed in the quantum well region. The electric field causes the wave functions of electrons and holes to be separated in space, which greatly reduces the radiative recombination rate and reduces the internal quantum efficiency of light-emitting diode devices.
Fourth, it is difficult to emit light from the surface of c-plane AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes
[0004] For the above-mentioned problems caused by the crystal field splitting energy band position change and electrode material selection of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, there is still no corresponding system solution in the world to enhance surface light emission. The p-type electrode material generally used is also generally Ti / Al / Ti / Au etc.
