Problems solved by technology

Conventional epitaxial structure at less than 1A / cm 2 Under the current density, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is in a very unstable range. With the small change of the current, the photoelectric conversion efficiency will also drop sharply, which makes the traditional epitaxial wafers unable to be applied to products with low current density requirements.

Abstract

The invention provides a micro LED epitaxial structure. The epitaxial structure at least comprises an N-type layer, a light-emitting layer and a P-type layer. Wherein the light-emitting layer comprises quantum well structures of n periods, the quantum well structure of each period comprises a well layer and a barrier layer, the quantum well structure of n1 periods is defined as a first light-emitting region, the quantum well structure of n2 periods is defined as a second light-emitting region, n1 and n2 are greater than or equal to 1, n1 + n2 is less than or equal to n, and the first light-emitting region is closer to the N-type layer. The average band gap of the barrier layer materials of the two groups of light-emitting regions meets the following conditions: the first light-emitting region is smaller than the second light-emitting region; the average band gap of the well layer materials of the two groups of light-emitting regions satisfies the following condition: the first light-emitting region is greater than or equal to the second light-emitting region. According to the micro LED prepared by the epitaxial structure, the current density corresponding to the peak photoelectricconversion efficiency can be lower than 1A / cm<2>, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is improved by about 30%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a micro LED light-emitting element, which belongs to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronics. Background technique [0002] The peak photoelectric conversion efficiency distribution of traditional epitaxial structure LEDs is greater than 5A / cm 2 The range of current density, such as Figure 9 As shown, most of the existing applications work at high current density (greater than 10A / cm 2 )area. However, the current used by Micro LEDs used in mobile phones (or watches, bracelets) is very small, often at the level of nA, converted into current density, at 0.1~1A / cm 2 between. Conventional epitaxial structure at less than 1A / cm 2 Under the current density, its photoelectric conversion efficiency is in a very unstable range. With the slight change of the current, the photoelectric conversion efficiency will also drop sharply, which makes the traditional epitaxial wafer unable to be applied to products with low curre...
