Abstract

The invention discloses a method for growth of an epitaxial layer of a light emitting diode chip and belongs to the technical field of semiconductors. The method includes: a GaN layer, an n-type layer, a quantum well active area layer and a p-type layer, which are not mixed, are sequentially grown on a substrate by a metallo-organic compound vapor deposition method. Growth pressure of the quantum well active area layer is 600-750torr. During process of growth of the epitaxial layer, material of the epitaxial layer simultaneously grows and splits, splitting effect of material of the quantum well active area layer is enhanced by setting growth pressure of the quantum well active area layer as 600-750torr, the surface of the material is roughed by high splitting effect, cross growth effect of the material is enhanced effectively, and accordingly defect density in the material is reduced, crystalline quality and internal quantum efficiency of the light emitting diode chip are increased, and luminous efficiency of the light emitting diode chip is further improved.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to an epitaxial layer growth method for a light emitting diode chip. Background technique [0002] Light-emitting diode chips are semiconductor wafers, which are the core components of light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting diode chip mainly includes a substrate, an epitaxial layer grown on the substrate, and electrodes arranged on the epitaxial layer. [0003] Wherein, the epitaxial layer generally includes an undoped GaN layer, an N-type layer, a multi-quantum well layer and a P-type layer. At present, most light-emitting diodes use MOCVD (Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition, metal-organic compound vapor deposition) method to grow epitaxial layers on sapphire substrates. Wherein, when growing the epitaxial layer, the growth pressure adopted is 40-400 torr. [0004] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor finds that there are at least the fo...
