Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, compared with LEDs in the blue-green light band, the quantum efficiency and power of UV-LEDs are generally low, which has become a bottleneck for its industrialization.
This is mainly due to two reasons. First, UV LEDs generally use AlGaN as the light-emitting layer in the active region, but it is very difficult to prepare high-quality AlGaN materials. On the one hand, there is a serious lattice mismatch in the material during the epitaxial growth process. , The reactions that occur are complex and difficult to control. On the other hand, the AlGaN material has a wide band gap, and there are physical problems such as low doping and activation efficiencies.
In addition, there is also a problem of sharp drop in efficiency in LEDs. When the LED is working at a small current, the efficiency will soon become saturated with the increase of the current, and the luminous efficiency will drop sharply if the injection current is further increased. , the sharp drop in efficiency of this LED is generally called the quantum-confined Stark phenomenon, which is mainly caused by the piezoelectric polarization in the quantum well, and the piezoelectric polarization effect in the AlGaN quantum well is more Strong, it limits the luminous power of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, restricting the application of ultraviolet LEDs in many aspects
