Abstract

The invention provides a strained superlattice tunnel junction ultraviolet LED (light emitting diode) epitaxial structure and a production method thereof. The epitaxial structure from top to bottom comprises: an epitaxial growth substrate, an AlN buffer layer, an n-type AlGaN layer, a multiple quantum wells, an electron blocking layer, a strained superlattice, an n-type degenerate doped AlGaN layer, and an n-type Si-doped AlGaN layer. The strained superlattice comprises a p-type AlGaN layer and an AlyGa1-yN / AlxGa1-xN. An AlGaN energy band, under effects of a polarized electric field, moves as a whole along a low energy direction. A superlattice structure contacts a heavily doped n-type AlGaN to form a p-AlGaN / SSL / n *-AlGaN tunnel junction. Electrons of a p-type AlGaN valence band, under effects of an external electric field, carried out tunneling through a tunnel effect to one side of the n-type AlGaN, and a hole is formed in the p-type AlGaN. The n-AlGaN is used as the cladding material instead of the p-type AlGaN, so that the problem of the p-type ohmic contact is avoided.
