Abstract

The present invention discloses an AlGaN heterojunction nano-pillar array light emitting device, whose structure comprises the following components that are sequentially arranged in the order from the bottom to the top: a substrate; a GaN buffer layer grown on the substrate; an AlN insertion layer grown on the GaN buffer layer; an AlxGa1-xN layer grown on the AlN insertion layer; and an etched nano-pillar array penetrating from the AlxGa1-xN layer, the AlN insertion layer and deeply into the GaN buffer layer. In the nano-pillar array, the diameter of the AlxGa1-xN layer is smaller than that of the AlN insertion layer. The invention also discloses a preparation method for the AlGaN heterojunction nano-pillar array light emitting device. According to the invention, through the use of a nano-pillar array structure of the invention, the stress in the heteroepitaxial film is released and the luminous efficiency of the device is increased; and through the change of the array structure parameters, the distribution of the light field can be adjusted, and the extraction efficiency for the ultraviolet light is increased. The utilization of the optimized three-layer UV flexible imprinting technology overcomes the defect caused by the surface roughness of the AlGaN epitaxial wafer; and the edge of the imprinted pattern is smooth and without serration, and the shape and the diameter of the nano-pillar array can be adjusted, and the structure can be transferred.

Description

technical field [0001] The patent of the invention relates to an AlGaN heterojunction nanocolumn array light-emitting device and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of semiconductor lighting and optoelectronic devices. Background technique [0002] After more than 20 years of development, high-efficiency, high-brightness blue LEDs based on GaN materials are becoming more and more mature. As the wavelength is further shortened, the luminescence enters the ultraviolet region. Ultraviolet light can have a strong interaction with biomolecules or chemical substances, and can be used in gas sensing, fluorescence excitation, UV curing, water purification, air disinfection and various microbial related equipment. Compared with traditional mercury lamps, UV LEDs are more robust, compact, environmentally friendly, have a long lifespan, do not require preheating, and can be switched on and off within nanoseconds, which has significant advantages. By adjusting the Al ...
