The invention relates to the field of
semiconductor technologies, in particular to a
multiple quantum well structure and a light-emitting
diode thereof. The
multiple quantum well structure comprises a stress release layer, an
electron collecting layer and a light emitting layer, wherein the light emitting layer comprises a plurality of potential barrier
layers and
potential well layers which grow alternately, at least one potential
barrier layer is of a GaN / AlxInyGa(1 x y)N / GaN structure, 0<x<=1, 0<=y<1, and the rest potential barrier
layers are of a GaN structure. The light-emitting
diode at least comprises a substrate, and a buffer layer, an N-type layer, a
multiple quantum well structure layer, an
electron blocking layer, a P-type layer and a P-type
contact layer which are arranged on the substrate sequentially. According to the multiple
quantum well structure and the light-emitting
diode thereof, the potential barrier layers with a forbidden bandwidth higher than the GaN are arranged in layers of the multiple
quantum well structure, namely, an
electron blocking layer in the existing structure is dispersed in the multiple
quantum well structure layer, thereby achieving the effect of blocking electrons in a dispersed manner, enhancing the electronic blocking effect, reducing the electron overflow phenomenon at
high current density and the resulting Droop effect, and improving light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting diode.
