Problems solved by technology

This polarization effect will generate a higher-intensity built-in electric field and spatially separate the positive load carriers, which will lead to a red shift in the emission wavelength. The more serious consequence is that the electron and hole wave functions overlap less, and the material The luminous efficiency is greatly reduced

Abstract

The invention discloses a light emitting diode (LED) outer extending structure which comprises a multi-quantum trap active layer. The multi-quantum trap active layer comprises one or more basic periodic structures. Each basic periodic structure comprises a wide trap and a wide base which are adjacent to each other. The wide trap comprises a plurality of coupling traps. The plurality of coupling traps are respectively narrow traps. A narrow base is arranged between adjacent coupling traps so that tunneling coupling of an electron and an electron hole is achieved. Due to adoption of a composite structure of the wide trap and the narrow traps, two effects of capturing a large amount of carriers and high radiated recombination efficiency are achieved, and light emitting efficiency of an LED is remarkably improved. Due to tunneling modulation of the carriers, adjustment of multicolor LED wavelength and brightness in a single chip is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of light emitting diodes (Light Emitting Diode, LED for short), in particular to an epitaxial structure of a high internal quantum efficiency light emitting diode. Background technique [0002] The wide bandgap material represented by GaN is the third generation semiconductor after Si and GaAs. Due to the breakthrough of epitaxy technology, there was a rapid development during the 1990s. In the past two decades, GaN semiconductor lighting has become a global research and development topic, and LEDs account for a major share of the GaN market. [0003] Most of the existing commercialized white light LEDs use GaN-based blue light LEDs to excite yellow phosphors to emit white light. White LEDs realized in this way have disadvantages such as poor reliability, low color rendering index (about 60-80), and low lumen efficiency. The key to solving these problems is to prepare phosphor-free white LEDs based entirely on semi...
