Problems solved by technology

However, for AlGaN-based ultraviolet LEDs, since the energy band gap of the above-mentioned EBL layer is not large enough, it will not only absorb the ultraviolet light emitted by the LED itself, but also prevent the overflow of electrons and improve the efficiency of hole injection.

Abstract

The invention discloses an UV-LED with a quantum dot EBL, comprising a sapphire substrate, an A1N nucleating layer, a non-doped u type A1GaN buffer layer, an n type A1GaN layer, an A1xGa1-xN/A1yGa1-yN quantum well active region, a p type A1N/A1GaN quantum dot EBL, a p type A1GaN layer and an ITO conductive layer. An n type ohmic electrode is lead out on the n type A1GaN layer, and a p type ohmic electrode is lead out on the ITO conductive layer. The UV-LED with a quantum dot EBL employs the p type doping layer of self-assembly A1N/ A1GaN quantum dots as the EBL and a hole injection layer, which can effectively inhibit electrons from overflowing out of an active region, enhance the efficiency of hole injection to the active region, and thereby increase the carrier composite efficiency in the active region; in addition, A1N is used as the EBL to replace the A1GaN commonly used in blue LED, which can more effectively reduce UV absorption by the EBL, and increase UV-LED luminous efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of manufacturing semiconductor optoelectronic devices, in particular to an ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV-LED) with a quantum dot electron blocking layer (EBL) structure. Background technique [0002] The ultraviolet spectrum includes all light with wavelengths from 100 to 400nm and is generally subdivided into three categories: long-wave ultraviolet (315-400nm, UV-A), medium-wave ultraviolet (280-315nm, UV-B) and short-wave ultraviolet (100- 280nm, UV-C). Compared with the visible band, ultraviolet photons have higher energy, stronger penetrating ability, and powerful lethality to living things. Due to these properties, ultraviolet light sources have great application value in the fields of high color rendering index solid-state lighting, biochemical harmful substance detection, water purification, high-density storage, and short-wavelength safe communication. In addition, the use of solar-blind ultraviolet l...
