Problems solved by technology

[0004] The problem of the doping efficiency of p-type AlGaN materials is more prominent. The activation energy of Mg acceptors in p-type GaN at room temperature is 160-200meV, and the activation energy of Mg in AlGaN materials can reach up to 510-600meV, so the activation efficiency of Mg Very low, resulting in a much lower hole concentration in p-type AlGaN than in p-type GaN, and lower conductivity

Abstract

The invention discloses a UV light emitting diode with a compound electronic barrier layer structure. The light emitting diode, successively from the bottom to the top, includes a substrate (101), a low-temperature AlN nucleation layer (102), a high-temperature AlN buffer layer (103), an n type AlGaN layer (104), an Al<x>Ga<1-x>N / Al<y>Ga<1-y>N multi-quantum well active region (105), and a p-AlsIntGa1-s-tN / p-AlzGa1-zN compound electronic barrier layer (106) consisting of a p-Al<s>In<t>Ga<1-s-t> layer (106) and a p-Al<z>Ga<1-z>N layer. The diode provided can solve the problem that a conventional electronic barrier layer structure generates a parasitic electronic inversion layer between the last quantum well barrier and an electronic barrier layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, in particular to an ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV-LED) with a compound electron blocking layer structure. Background technique [0002] UV-LEDs based on III-nitride wide bandgap semiconductor materials have broad application prospects in the fields of sterilization and disinfection, polymer curing, biochemical detection, non-line-of-sight communication, and special lighting. Compared with the traditional ultraviolet light source mercury lamp, UV-LED has many advantages such as mercury-free environmental protection, compact and portable, low power consumption and low voltage. [0003] For AlGaN-based UV-LEDs, the asymmetric electron and hole concentrations will cause the electrons injected into the active region to easily overflow to the p-type region, reducing the effective recombination luminescence in the quantum well and causing long-wave parasitic recombination in th...
