Abstract

The invention discloses a light-emitting diode (LED) epitaxial wafer, a manufacturing method of the LED epitaxial wafer and an LED chip including the LED epitaxial wafer. The LED epitaxial wafer comprises an undoped GaN layer, an N-type GaN layer, an active layer and a P-type GaN layer which are sequentially arranged from the substrate surface to the outside. The active layer comprises one or more groups of quantum well layers, wherein each quantum well layer comprises an InGaN potential well layer, a GaN potential barrier layer and an MgN potential barrier layer which are sequentially arranged in the direction away from a substrate. The manufacturing method of the LED epitaxial wafer comprises the steps of sequentially forming the undoped GaN layer, the N-type GaN layer, the active layer and the P-type GaN layer from the substrate surface to the outside, wherein the active layer forming step is that one or more groups of quantum well layers are sequentially formed, and the quantum well layer forming step is that the InGaN potential well layer, the GaN potential barrier layer and the MgN potential barrier layer are sequentially formed from the surface of the N-type GaN layer to the outside. By the adoption of the manufacturing method of the LED epitaxial wafer, the LED luminance and the internal quantum efficiency are improved.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor lighting, in particular to an LED epitaxial wafer, a manufacturing method thereof and an LED chip comprising the same. Background technique [0002] GaN-based materials (including GaN, AlGaN, InGaN, MgGaN, and SiGaN) are direct bandgap semiconductors, and their bandgap is continuously adjustable from 1.8 to 6.2V. They are the most commonly used materials for producing high-brightness blue, green, and white LEDs. It is widely used in fields such as backlight, large-size screen display, signage indication, signal lamp and lighting. [0003] The manufacturing method of GaN-based LED chips is usually: use MOCVD (metal organic compound vapor deposition) to epitaxially grow a layer of GaN buffer layer on the substrate; then grow non-doped GaN, the purpose is to improve the quality of subsequent epitaxial crystals. On this basis, N-type GaN, active layer and P-type GaN are grown sequentially to fo...
