Abstract

The invention relates to a coarsening inverted GaAs-based LED (light emitting diode) epitaxial wafer growing on an SiC or Si pattern substrate and a preparation method thereof. The LED epitaxial wafer sequentially comprises a corrosion blocking layer, an AlInP lower limiting layer, a multiple quantum well luminous region, an AlInP upper limiting layer, a current expansion layer, and the SiC substrate or an Si substrate from top to bottom, wherein a projected structure body and a recessed structure body are arranged on the corrosion blocking layer. Through the arrangement of the projected structure body or the recessed structure body, the surface roughness is increased; the light outlet efficiency of the inverted GaAs-based LED epitaxial wafer is improved, so that the practical light outlet rate reaches 90 percent or higher; the problem of low light outlet efficiency is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a roughened flip-chip GaAs-based LED epitaxial wafer grown on a SiC or Si pattern substrate and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of optoelectronic technology. Background technique [0002] In the field of chips, in order to avoid affecting the luminous efficiency due to the occupation of the light-emitting area by the electrodes in the front-mounted chip, the flip-chip technology is gradually used, especially in the application market of high-power, external lighting, and urban lighting projects. [0003] In the prior art, GaAs-based LEDs are prepared by epitaxial growth on GaAs substrates. Since the p and n electrodes are on the same side of the LED in the front-mounted structure, current crowding is prone to occur, and the thermal resistance is high, which reduces the internal quantum efficiency. To reduce the cost of lamps in the future, in addition to the material cost, it is particularly important to i...
