Abstract

The invention discloses a light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of a semiconductor. The light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer comprises a substrate, a low-temperature buffer layer, a high-temperature buffer layer, an N-type gallium nitride layer, a multi-quantum well layer and a P-type gallium nitride layer, wherein the low-temperature buffer layer, the high-temperature buffer layer, the N-type gallium nitride layer, the multi-quantum well layer and the P-type gallium nitride layer are stacked up on the substrate in sequence. The high-temperature buffer layer comprises (2*n+1) sublayers stacked up in sequence, n being a positive integer. Each sublayer is a P-type doped gallium nitride layer; doping concentration of P-type dopants in the (2*n+1) sublayers is reduced layer by layer in the stack direction of the high-temperature buffer layer; the doping concentration of the P-type dopants in two adjacent sublayers differsby one order of magnitude; and the order of magnitude of doping concentration of the P-type dopants in the (n+1) th stacked sublayer is same with the order of magnitude of electron concentration in the undoped gallium nitride layer. The light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer can carry out effective blocking on diffused electrons in the N-type gallium nitride layer, thereby improving reliability of the LED.
