Abstract

The invention relates to a GaN-based LED epitaxial structure with an n type GaN structure and a growing method thereof. The GaN-based LED epitaxial structure is composed of a substrate layer, a buffer layer, an n type structure, a multi-quantum well luminescent layer and a P type structure, wherein the layers are arranged successively from bottom to top. The n type structure consists of a low-Si-doped n type GaN layer with gradually changed concentration, a Si-doped n type AlGaN layer, a u type GaN layer, and a high-Si-doped n type GaN layer. Because an nAlGaN-based n type superlattice structure is inserted into the high and low doping combination unit, a defect that the luminescent voltage is reduced only by using a high nGaN doping way in the prior art is overcome; a breakthrough is provided in terms of the structural design; and with reference of the crystal growth experience of many years, the high-doped nGaN and the low-doped nGaN are utilized and cooperation with the intermediate nAlGaN layer is realized. With the method, the electron concentration is improved and thus the electronic mobility is enhanced and the luminescent voltage is reduced. Meanwhile, stability of the whole LED structure, especially parameters like the backward voltage, the antistatic capability, and electric leakage, is decided by the growth quality of the n type zone.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a GaN-based LED epitaxy structure and a growth method with an n-type GaN structure, and belongs to the technical field of LED epitaxy design. Background technique [0002] In the early 1990s, the third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor materials represented by nitrides made a historic breakthrough. Researchers successfully prepared blue-green and ultraviolet LEDs on gallium nitride materials, making LED lighting become possible. In 1971, the first gallium nitride LED die came out. In 1994, gallium nitride HEMTs appeared blue light GaN-based diodes with high electron mobility, and gallium nitride semiconductor materials developed very rapidly. [0003] Semiconductor light-emitting diodes have the advantages of small size, ruggedness, strong controllability of light-emitting bands, high luminous efficiency, low heat loss, low light decay, energy saving, and environmental protection. Communication and other fields have a wid...
