Problems solved by technology

In 1989, Gaw et al pointed out in the U.S. Patent (publication number: 4864370) that adding a current blocking layer directly below the electrode can reduce the current under the electrode and improve the light extraction efficiency; in 1991, Sugawara et al. U.S. Patent (publication number: 5048035) adds PN contact surfaces in the light-exiting layer and the upper confinement layer, but because of the use of secondary epitaxy technology, more lattice defects will be generated during the secondary epitaxial growth process, so the production cost Higher, lower yield

Abstract

The invention relates to a light emitting diode and a manufacture method thereof. A method of adding a current expansion layer into an epitaxial wafer and using a bonding material and a semiconductor material to form a schottky barrier is used to stop and expand current, enlarge current density, and improve the brightness of the light emitting diode, wherein the improving scope of the lightness is 5-10 percent. A secondary epitaxial technology is avoided, thus the production cost can be reduced, the production process is simplified, the production time is shortened, and the yield rate is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a light-emitting diode and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of semiconductors. technical background [0002] Light-emitting diodes have a series of advantages such as high reliability, low power consumption, impact resistance, long life, and wide operating environment temperature. Display, etc., and can replace incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps as high-efficiency, energy-saving, and long-life lighting sources. AlGaInP is a direct transition luminescent material with high luminous efficiency, and the luminous wavelength can be adjusted from 560nm to 650nm by adjusting the composition. Most of the injection current of AlGaInP light-emitting diodes is concentrated directly under the electrode. However, when the light generated in the light-emitting area is directed to the electrode, most of the light is reflected by the electrode, and finally absorbed by the semiconductor and converted into ...
