Abstract

The invention discloses a deep ultraviolet LED structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The deep ultraviolet LED structure comprises a deep ultraviolet AlGaN epitaxial structure and an n-type Ga2O3 nano thin film, wherein the deep ultraviolet AlGaN epitaxial structure comprises a p-type AlGaN layer; the n-type Ga2O3 nano thin film is positioned on the upper surface of the deep ultraviolet AlGaN epitaxial structure; the n-type Ga2O3 nano thin film and the p-type AlGaN layer form a tunnel junction, and the tunnel junction is used as a surface electrode contact layer and a hole supply layer.The tunnel junction is formed by using the n-type Ga2O3 nano thin film and the p-type AlGaN layer, on one hand, the tunnel junction is used as a hole supply layer to improve the hole concentration, and on the other hand, the tunnel junction is used as a surface electrode contact layer and forms good ohmic contact with the surface electrode, so that the external quantum efficiency of the deep ultraviolet LED is improved, and meanwhile, the n-type Ga2O3 nano thin film has relatively high transmittance for light in a deep ultraviolet band and does not absorb light generated by the LED.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosure belongs to the technical field of light emitting devices, and relates to a deep ultraviolet LED structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The light with an ultraviolet wavelength of 200-350 nanometers is called the deep ultraviolet band. Compared with the long-wave ultraviolet, the light source of the deep ultraviolet band is absorbed by the ozone layer when it reaches the surface of the earth, so its content in the environment is extremely weak. Due to its extremely short wavelength and extremely high photon energy, deep ultraviolet light can exert unique advantages in sterilization, purification, medical treatment, etc. [0003] Deep ultraviolet semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED) is a branch of LED. Compared with the traditional mercury lamp light source, it has many advantages, such as high efficiency, stability, energy saving, environmental protection and small size, etc., and can replace all c...
