Abstract

The invention discloses a high-brightness near ultraviolet LED and a preparation method of the high-brightness near ultraviolet LED, and belongs to the technical field of semiconductor photoelectronics. The LED structurally comprises a patterned sapphire substrate, a low-temperature GaN nucleating layer, a high-temperature non-doping GaN buffering layer, an n-type GaN layer, a stress release layer of an n-InxlGa1-x1N / Aly1Ga1-y1N quantum well structure, a low-temperature n-Aly1Ga1-y1N current spreading layer, an n-InxlGa1-xN / Aly1Ga1-yN multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, a p-Aly2Inx2Ga1-x2-y2N electronic barrier layer, a high-temperature p-type GaN layer and a p-type InGaN contact layer from bottom to top in sequence. The LED current spreading effect of the near ultraviolet LED can be improved by optimizing the n-type stress release layer and the n-type current spreading layer, and thus the light-emitting efficiency of the near ultraviolet LED is effectively improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronics, in particular to a high-brightness near-ultraviolet LED with a well-width gradient current expansion layer prepared by MOCVD (metal organic compound vapor phase epitaxy) technology. Background technique

[0002] UV LEDs are diodes that emit ultraviolet light. It generally refers to LEDs with a central wavelength of light emission below 400nm. Ultraviolet LEDs (UV LEDs) are mainly used in biomedicine, anti-counterfeiting identification, purification (water, air, etc.), computer data storage, and military affairs. And with the development of technology, new applications will continue to appear to replace the original technology and products. UV LED has a broad market application prospect. For example, UV LED phototherapy instrument is a very popular medical device in the future, but the current technology is still growing period. As another major industry direction after se...
