Quantum trap structure of semiconductor light-emitting diode for increasing internal quantum efficiency

Abstract

Characters of the disclosed structure of quanta trap are that through tunneling barrier layer 5 with high tunneling probability, home position electron capture layer 3 or home position hole capture layer 4 are connected to quanta trap layer 2; layres 1, 3 or 4, 5 and 2 constitute a cycle to carry out activity repeatedly. Number of cycles can be selected from 1 to 10; both of upmost and undermost layers are barrier layers 1; thickness of home position electron capture layer 3 or home position hole capture layer 4 is between 1nm to 3nm. Being as active layer, the structure can increase probability of capturing electrons or holes so as to raise internal quantum efficiency of gallium nitride based light emitting diode of blue green light.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It has two disadvantages. First, this layer only has a significant effect on the adjacent quantum wells. For multiple quantum well structures, due to the thick barrier, the tunneling probability is reduced, and the latter quantum wells will not be significantly affected by the existence of this layer. Increase the probability of electron capture; second, the existence of this layer may lead to a decrease in the quality of the quantum well layer crystal, resulting in V-type defects, increasing leakage current, and reducing the probability of radiation recombination
