Problems solved by technology

On the one hand, with the increase of In content (from ultraviolet to green light), the lattice mismatch between InGaN with high In content and GaN increases, resulting in a large dislocation density in the active region, and the performance of LEDs based on quantum well luminescence is serious. decline, it is difficult to achieve high-efficiency light emission in the green light band (especially in the 525-575nm wavelength range)
On the other hand, the strong polarization effect induced by the wurtzite crystal structure limits the efficiency improvement of GaN-based materials.

Abstract

The invention provides a non-polar surface quantum dot light-emitting diode, which comprises a substrate, a u-type GaN layer, an n-type GaN layer, an active region, a p-type electron blocking layer and a p-type GaN layer, wherein the u-type GaN layer, the n-type GaN layer, the active region, the p-type electron blocking layer and the p-type GaN layer are laminated on the substrate in sequence and are in non-polar surface; and the active region comprises an InGaN quantum dot potential well layer and a GaN barrier layer in periodic distribution and in non-polar surface. The invention also provides a preparation method of the non-polar surface quantum dot light-emitting diode. By laminating the non-polar surface epitaxial structures on the substrate in sequence, influence of a quantum-confined stark effect on internal quantum efficiency of the device can be eliminated, and a polarization effect can be eliminated effectively; and besides, light wavelength of the light-emitting diode in such crystal orientation can extend to deep green or even orange light area, so that the problem of "green gap" in existing compound semiconductor light-emitting devices can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductors, and more specifically relates to a non-polar surface quantum dot light-emitting diode and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] As a typical application of the third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor technology, commercial GaN-based LEDs have covered the ultraviolet to green light spectrum. As a light-emitting device, GaN-based LEDs can be widely used in many aspects such as indoor and outdoor lighting, commercial lighting, agricultural lighting, traffic lighting, medical lighting, and display backlight. The focus on this light source has greatly improved the preparation technology of GaN-based LEDs in recent years, but some of the technical bottlenecks have become increasingly prominent, and the following two key scientific and technical issues still need to be solved. On the one hand, with the increase of In content (from ultraviolet to green light), the lattic...
