Abstract

The invention provides a light-emitting diode (LED) epitaxial layer structure and an LED chip with the same. The epitaxial layer structure comprises an MQW layer, an electronic barrier layer and a P-type GaN hole injection layer, which sequentially grow, wherein the P-type GaN hole injection layer comprises a hole injection layer and also a P-type AlGaN / GaN superlattice layer growing between the electronic barrier layer and the hole injection layer. According to the LED epitaxial layer structure provided by the invention, an MQW protective layer is arranged between the electronic barrier layer and the MQW layer, and then the P-type AlGaN / GaN superlattice layer is arranged on the electronic barrier layer, so that even diffusion of the hole is facilitated by a two-dimensional carrier gas formed by the P-type AlGaN / GaN superlattice layer, and the joint efficiency between electronics and holes is improved.
