Problems solved by technology

[0003] In recent years, the external quantum efficiency of GaN-based blue LEDs has been greatly improved, reaching 45% (see: Appl. Phys. Lett 89, 071109), but the external quantum efficiency of green light-emitting diodes is much lower than that of GaN-based blue LEDs ( See: Appl.Phys.Lett 86, 101903, etc.), green light-emitting diodes require high-quality high-In composition InxGa1-xN / GaN quantum wells (x≥15%), but due to the high-In composition InGaN material is prone to The phase separation of In, and the interface of InxGaN / GaN multi-quantum wells are prone to produce a large number of V-type defects. The above are the main reasons for the low external quantum efficiency and poor antistatic ability of green LEDs.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for fabricating a green LED, which is mainly characterized in that through the introduction of an insert layer into an epitaxial growth InGaN/GaN quanta well, V type defects between the InGaN and the GaN is reduced and In precipitation is reduced; thus, the green LED with high brightness and strong antistatic ability can be obtained. With the introduction of the insert layer, the brightness of a 300micronx300micron green LED chip at 520nm under 20mA is improved from 100mcd to 250mcd and the antistatic ability of the chip is increased from HBM 500V (human-body model) to HBM 4000V.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal organic vapor deposition (MOCVD) epitaxial growth method of a III-V nitride material based on gallium nitride (GaN), in particular to a manufacturing method of a green light emitting diode. Background technique [0002] GaN-based III-V nitrides are important direct-bandgap wide-bandgap semiconductor materials. GaN-based materials have excellent material mechanical and chemical properties, excellent photoelectric properties, and their bandgap ranges from 0.7eV (InN) to 6.2eV (AlN) at room temperature. Deep ultraviolet, GaN-based materials have a wide range of application backgrounds in the field of optoelectronic devices such as blue light, green light, purple light and white light diodes. [0003] In recent years, the external quantum efficiency of GaN-based blue LEDs has been greatly improved, reaching 45% (see: Appl. Phys. Lett 89, 071109), but the external quantum efficiency of green light-emitting diodes is much lo...
