Abstract

The invention provides an epitaxial wafer of an AlGaInP light emitting diode with a sapphire underlay and a preparation method thereof. An epitaxial structure of the light emitting diode sequentically comprises the sapphire underlay, a low-temperature GaP buffer layer, a high-temperature GaP buffer layer, a GaP current expansion and ohmic contact layer, an AlGaInP transition layer, a lower limiting layer, a multiple quantum well AlGaInP active area, an AlGaInP upper limiting layer and a GaP current expansion layer from bottom to top. The preparation method comprises the steps that each epitaxial layer grows on the sapphire underlay layer by layer sequentially. The epitaxial wafer uses the sapphire as the epitaxial growth underlay and uses gallium phosphide as the buffer layer. Because the sapphire and the gallium phosphide material are transparent to a wave band from yellow to red, the problem of light absorption of the underlay does not exist. The gallium phosphide buffer layer can inhibit the material growth defect caused by lattice mismatch and heat expansion coefficient mismatch between the sapphire underlay and the AlGaInP material so as to greatly improve the light output capability of the light emitting diode.
