The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and particularly discloses a light-emitting
diode epitaxial
wafer and a preparation method thereof.The epitaxial
wafer comprises a substrate and an epitaxial layer, the epitaxial layer comprises an
active layer, an
electron blocking layer and a P-type layer, and a
hole injection layer is arranged between the
active layer and the
electron blocking layer; the
hole injection layer comprises a first
superlattice layer, a
magnesium-carbon co-doped GaN composite layer and a second
superlattice layer which are sequentially deposited in the epitaxial direction, the first
superlattice layer is of a periodic structure formed by alternately stacking unintentionally-doped Mg AlGaN
layers and low-doped Mg AlGaN
layers, and the second superlattice layer is of a periodic structure formed by alternately stacking unintentionally-doped Mg GaN
layers and high-doped Mg InGaN layers. The Mg
doping concentration of the InGaN layer with high Mg
doping is greater than the Mg
doping concentration of the
magnesium-carbon co-doped GaN composite layer, and the Mg doping concentration of the
magnesium-carbon co-doped GaN composite layer is greater than the Mg doping concentration of the AlGaN layer with low Mg doping. Through mutual cooperation of multiple material layers, the self-
compensation effect of Mg is effectively reduced, the concentration of activated Mg is improved, the hole concentration is improved, the effective hole injection efficiency is improved, and
electron overflow is reduced, so that the
radiation recombination efficiency of electrons and holes in the
active layer is improved, and the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting
diode is improved.
