Embodiment 1

[0054] There are four samples in Example 1. Samples 1-4 are all LEDs with an N-type contact layer on the surface microstructure. The structures are basically the same. The epitaxial wafers are grown by depositing a buffer layer on the epitaxial substrate. (buffer layer) and N-type electrical contact layer, and then deposit an N-type contact layer (n-cladding), deposit a multi-layer quantum well (MQW) structure on the n-cladding, and then deposit a P-type contact layer on the MQW structure ( p-cladding), and finally the electrical contact layer to complete the growth of the epitaxial layer structure; the difference between samples 1-4 is that the materials of each corresponding functional layer are different, so that the wavelengths of light emitted by samples 1-4 are different , the specific functional layer components of samples 1-4 are detailed in Table 1 below:

Abstract

The invention provides a high-brightness LED with a surface microstructure and a manufacturing and screening method of the high-brightness LED. The surface microstructure is characterized in that the ratio of the roughened total surface area of a light emitting surface of the LED to the vertical projection area of the light emitting surface of the LED is larger than 1.5, and the peak density on the light emitting surface is larger than or equal to 0.3 / micron<2>. The larger the ratio of the roughened total surface area of an epitaxial wafer to the vertical projection area of the epitaxial wafer is, the more conveniently the light taking-out efficiency of the epitaxial wafer can be improved; the more the number of peaks with the height larger than a critical height in the unit area is, the more conveniently the light taking-out efficiency of the epitaxial wafer can be improved, and the light taking-out efficiency of the epitaxial wafer is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronics, and in particular relates to a high-brightness light-emitting diode with a surface microstructure and a preparation and screening method thereof. Background technique [0002] LED is a semiconductor PN junction diode. When a forward voltage is applied to both ends of the PN junction, the carriers are excited from a low-energy state to a high-energy state and return to a low-energy state in an unstable state. According to energy conservation Theorem, excess energy is released in the form of photons. The external quantum efficiency of the LED is the key to improving the luminous efficiency of the LED, and the external quantum efficiency of the LED depends on the internal quantum efficiency of the epitaxial material and the light extraction efficiency of the epitaxial wafer. At present, people are precisely controlling the epitaxial growth, doping concentration and reducing dis...
