Abstract

The invention discloses an ultraviolet LED epitaxial structure with a novel quantum barrier structure and a preparation method thereof. The ultraviolet LED epitaxial sheet comprises a substrate, a buffer layer, an N-type AlGaN layer, a luminous layer, an electron barrier layer, a P-type AlGaN layer and a P-type GaN layer in turn from bottom to top. Each quantum barrier of the luminous layer comprises an Al<x>Ga<1-x>N layer, an Al<y>Ga<1-y>N layer and an Al<z>Ga<1-z>N layer in turn from bottom to top. For all the quantum barriers from bottom to top in the luminous layer except the first and last quantum barriers, the aluminum molecule content y in the Al<y>Ga<1-y>N layers is a fixed value, the aluminum molecule content x in the Al<x>Ga<1-x>N layers increases gradually from an initial valueb to y, and the aluminum molecule content z in the Al<z>Ga<1-z>N layer decreases gradually from an initial value y to b. The epitaxial structure provided by the invention can alleviate the quantum confinement Stark effect in multi-quantum wells and the polarization effect between the luminous layer and the electron barrier layer, so as to improve the radiation recombination efficiency of electronsand holes, reduce the leakage of electrons, and finally, improve the internal quantum efficiency of ultraviolet LEDs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of LED semiconductors, in particular to an ultraviolet LED epitaxial structure with a novel quantum barrier structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Because ultraviolet LEDs have the advantages of small size, low energy consumption, long life, environmental protection and non-toxicity, etc., and they have broad market value in a wide range of fields such as biological sterilization, ultraviolet curing, and military communications. Therefore, it has attracted the attention of researchers and is expected to become a substitute for the traditional mercury lamp as a UV light source. [0003] However, AlGaN with a high aluminum composition is required to prepare ultraviolet LEDs, especially to prepare deep purple LEDs with emission wavelengths in the range of 200-380nm. As far as the current technology is concerned, it is still very difficult to prepare high-quality materials wit...
