Embodiment 1

[0042] The invention uses Aixtron MOCVD to grow high-brightness GaN-based LED epitaxial wafers. Using high-purity H 2 or high purity N 2 or high purity H 2 and high purity N 2 The mixed gas as the carrier gas, high-purity NH 3 As the N source, the metal-organic sources trimethylgallium (TMGa) and triethylgallium (TEGa) are used as the gallium source, trimethylindium (TMIn) is used as the indium source, and the N-type dopant is silane (SiH 4 ), trimethylaluminum (TMAl) as the source of aluminum, and the P-type dopant as magnesocene (CP 2 Mg), the substrate is (0001) sapphire, and the reaction pressure is between 100mbar and 800mbar. The specific growth method is as follows (for the epitaxial structure, please refer to figure 2 , please refer to the energy band in step 5 Figure 4 ):

[0043] 1. Treat the sapphire substrate at a high temperature for 8-10 minutes in a hydrogen atmosphere at 1000-1100°C;

[0044] 2. Lower the temperature to 540-590°C, and grow a low-temp...

Abstract

The invention provides an epitaxial growth method of a light-emitting diode (LED) structure including a potential barrier with gradually-varied thickness. The light-emitting layer multiple quantum well (MQW) growing step is that H2 and / or N2 serve / serves as carrier gas, an In-doped InxGa(1-x)N layer with the 2.5-3nm thickness grows in a reaction chamber with the 730-750 DEG C temperature and the 100-800mbar pressure, wherein x=0.20-0.21; the temperature of the reaction chamber is adjusted to be 800-840 DEG C, trimethyl gallium is led into the reaction chamber for a time period R, and a first GaN layer with the thickness D grows; an InGaN layer grows repeatedly, trimethyl gallium is led into the reaction chamber for 0.75-0.95 time of a time period R, and a second GaN layer with the 0.75-0.95 times of thickness D grows; by the analogy, the thickness of the GaN layers is gradually decreased layer by layer. The GaN thickness of a light-emitting layer is changed and gradually decreased, accordingly distribution of electrons and electron holes is improved, and the LED lighting effect is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of LED epitaxial design, in particular to an LED structure epitaxial growth method and its structure including gradient thickness epitaxy. Background technique [0002] At present, the domestic MOCVD growth of LED epitaxial layer involves the growth of the light-emitting layer. Most of them are potential well InGaN and potential epitaxial GaN. [0003] The thickness of the light-emitting layer is generally controlled at 150nm-250nm. Compared with N and P-type GaN, the resistance of the light-emitting layer is relatively high; the resistance of the light-emitting layer. [0004] The advantage of higher resistance value: the light-emitting layer is close to the structure of the N layer, and the GaN resistance value is high and can block most electrons, and the electron concentration value is 1E+20-2E+20 / cm 3 (The mobility of electrons in N-type GaN is as high as 200-250v / cm 2 , the Si dopant ionizes more than 90%, th...
