High-luminous efficiency light emitting diode epitaxial slice and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-luminous efficiency light emitting diode epitaxial slice and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the light-emitting diode field. The high-luminous efficiency light emitting diode epitaxial slice includes a substrate as well as a u type GaN layer, an n-type GaN layer, a multiple-quantum well active layer, a P-type AlGaN layer and a P-type GaN carrier layer which cover the substrate sequentially, wherein the multiple-quantum well active layer includes a plurality of InGaN well layers and a plurality of Gan barrier layers which grow alternately, and the P-type AlGaN layer includes a first P-type AlGaN sub layer, a u type GaN sub layer and a second P-type AlGaN sub layer which cover the multiple-quantum well active layer sequentially. According to the high-luminous efficiency light emitting diode epitaxial slice, potential energy required by holes in the P-type GaN carrier layer to climb over the P-type AlGaN layer can be decreased; quantum states can be formed in the u type GaN sub layer; holes in the P-type GaN carrier layer, of which the potential energy is lower than the potential energy for climbing over the P-type AlGaN layer, can tunnel the u type GaN sub layer through the quantum tunneling effect, and can be further transmitted into quantum wells, and therefore, hole concentration in the multiple-quantum well active layer can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of light emitting diodes (English Light Emitting Diode, referred to as LED), in particular to a high luminous efficiency light emitting diode epitaxial wafer and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] LED is known as the most promising green lighting source in the 21st century because of its advantages such as high brightness, low heat, long life, non-toxicity, and recyclability. As the most important category of LEDs, GaN-based LEDs are widely used in many fields. The existing GaN-based LED epitaxial wafer mainly includes a substrate, a buffer layer, an N-type GaN layer, a multi-quantum well active layer, a P-type AlGaN layer, and a P-type GaN carrier layer. [0003] During the working process of GaN-based LEDs, the electrons generated in the N-type GaN layer and the holes generated in the P-type GaN carrier layer migrate to the multi-quantum well active layer under the action of an electric fie...
