Problems solved by technology

Dislocations in AlGaInP materials can act as non-radiative recombination centers, resulting in low luminous efficiency of light-emitting diodes. Therefore, there is no direct epitaxial growth of AlGaInP light-emitting layers on silicon substrates to prepare light-emitting diodes. report

Abstract

The invention discloses a silicon base grown AlGaInP LED epitaxial wafer and a preparation method thereof. The LED epitaxial wafer adopts a silicon base which sequentially comprises a gallium arsenide low-temperature buffer layer, a gallium arsenide high-temperature buffer layer, a DBR reflecting layer, an AlGaInP lower limiting layer, a multiple quantum well light emitting area, an AlGaInP upper limiting layer and a current expansion layer from bottom to top. The preparation method comprises the steps that metal organic chemical vapor deposition equipment is directly used for sequentially growing layer by layer. The AlGaInP LED epitaxial wafer solves the problem of heat expansion coefficient mismatch between the silicon base and the AlGaInP light emitting layer and directly and epitaxially grows the epitaxial material on the silicon base. The heat conductivity of silicon (145.7W / m. K) is 3.3 times of that of the AlGaInP base (44W / m. K) so as to improve the heavy current working capability of the silicon.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a light emitting diode (light emitting diode, LED), which is characterized in that a silicon chip is used as a substrate to directly epitaxially grow a high-quality aluminum gallium indium phosphorus light emitting diode, and belongs to the field of optoelectronic technology. Background technique [0002] It has excellent performance in yellow-green, orange, orange-red, yellow, and red spectral bands, and has broad application prospects in RGB white light sources, full-color displays, traffic lights, and urban lighting projects. [0003] In the prior art, aluminum gallium indium phosphorous light-emitting diodes (AlGaInP LEDs) are prepared by epitaxial growth on GaAs (gallium arsenide) substrates. Aluminum Gallium Indium Phosphorus Light Emitting Diodes (AlGaInP LEDs) grown epitaxially on GaAs substrates have been industrialized. However, because GaAs absorbs visible light, its thermal conductivity is small, and the heat gener...
