Problems solved by technology

The above-mentioned traditional LED epitaxial wafer structure cannot effectively overcome the lattice mismatch between the patterned substrate 1 and the GaN material, resulting in spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization
The energy band is severely bent, which reduces the ability of the quantum well to confine carriers, resulting in a large leakage current
Moreover, the bending of the energy band causes the holes with a very low concentration to not be evenly distributed in the active region composed of the InGaN well layer 5 and the GaN barrier layer 6, thereby reducing the recombination probability and affecting the quality of the GaN crystal.
