Problems solved by technology

When these air cones merge, a large number of dislocations will be generated due to different crystal orientations, and these dislocations will directly extend into the quantum well, thereby reducing the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of the deep ultraviolet LED.
In addition, usually AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet LEDs use pGaN as the hole transport layer and ohmic contact layer, which has a large amount of light absorption. Although PSS introduces scattering centers, most of the light emitted above these scattering centers is scattered first. For pGaN, most of it is absorbed by pGaN, which cannot effectively improve the light extraction efficiency of deep ultraviolet LEDs

Abstract

The invention relates to a deep ultraviolet semiconductor light emitting diode epitaxial structure. The epitaxial structure sequentially comprises a patterned substrate, a semiconductor buffer layer, an n-type semiconductor material layer, a multi-quantum well layer, a p-type electron blocking layer and a p-type semiconductor material transmission layer in an epitaxial direction, wherein grooves are etched in the patterned substrate, a cavity structure vertically grows upwards on each groove, and the cavity structures penetrate through the semiconductor buffer layer, the n-type semiconductor material layer and the multi-quantum well layer.
