Abstract

The invention discloses a gallium-nitride-based light emitting diode epitaxial wafer and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of semiconductors. The gallium-nitride-based light emitting diode epitaxial wafer comprises a superlattice buffer layer, wherein the superlattice buffer layer is of a superlattice structure comprising N periods, and the superlattice structure ofeach period comprises a first sublayer, a second sublayer and a third sublayer which are laminated on a substrate. Through doping Al into the first sub-layer, the lattice mismatch between the substrate and a GaN layer can be alleviated, the defect density can be reduced, and the crystal quality of the entire epitaxial layer can be improved, thereby improving the anti-static capability of an LED. Through doping Mg into the second sublayer, a transition between the first sublayer and the second sublayer can be achieved. Through doping In into the third sublayer, the lattice constant of the thirdsublayer can be increased, thereby accelerating a stress release speed of an N-type layer, reducing the stress polarization effect of a multi-quantum well layer, and increasing the luminous efficiency of the LED.
