Problems solved by technology

[0003] For LEDs grown by traditional methods, due to the large warpage of the substrate, the wavelength distribution of the epitaxial wafer is uneven. The standard deviation of the wavelength (Standard Deviation, referred to as STD) is generally between 2-2.4nm, and the wavelength difference is generally Around 12nm, which reduces the quality of the LED
In addition, when LED chips are tested and sorted, because the wavelength dispersion of epitaxial wafers is large, it will increase the cost of testing and sorting

Abstract

The invention provides a light-emitting diode epitaxial growth method. The method comprises the step of growing a buffer layer, undoped layers, an N-type doped layer, a quantum well light-emitting layer and a P-type doped layer on a substrate successively from bottom to up, wherein the undoped layers are grown through the annealing method. According to the light-emitting diode epitaxial growth method provided in the invention, the undoped layers are grown alternately through the annealing method, so the warping degree of the substrate in high-temperature conditions can be effectively improved, and the temperature uniformity of the bottom portion of the substrate can be improved, so that the wavelength distribution uniformity and the LED quality can be improved. Additionally, the test and sorting cost can be reduced to a certain extent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to an epitaxial growth method of a light emitting diode. Background technique [0002] When Light Emitting Diode (LED) is grown by Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD), the uniformity of the wavelength of the epitaxial wafer has a great influence on the quality of the product. The better the wavelength uniformity of the epitaxial wafer and the smaller the wavelength distribution, the more beneficial it is for the production of LEDs with specific wavelengths. Since there is a certain lattice mismatch between the epitaxial layer (such as gallium nitride GaN epitaxial layer) and the substrate, the epitaxial layer will generate stress during MOCVD growth. If this part of the stress is not eliminated, the substrate will be A certain warpage occurs at high temperature, that is, a certain deformation of the substrate occurs. The distance between each part of the deforme...
