Problems solved by technology

[0005] The present invention aims at the problems of surface roughness, phase separation and defects caused by In segregation in existing high-quality epitaxially grown InGaN films, and provides a method for preparing InGaN films. The method grows InGaN films by digital alloy technology, that is, at high In component of In x Ga 1-x Insertion of In with low In composition in the N layer y Ga 1-y N thin layer, and remove In atoms accumulated on the growth surface by introducing a small amount of hydrogen during the growth and interruption process

Abstract

The invention disclose a preparation method of an InGaN thin film, belongs to the technical fields of photoelectronic material and device, and can solve the problems of rough surface, phase separationand defect caused by In segregation in the existing epitaxial growth of the high-quality InGaN thin film. The preparation method comprises the steps of enabling a GaN nucleating layer, a GaN non-intentional doped buffer layer and a medium-high-temperature GaN layer to be grown on a substrate in sequence, and then enabling the InGaN thin film to be grown. By adoption of a digital alloy growth technology to realize InGaN thin film epitaxy, and by forming multiple In(Ga)N / Ga(In)N heterogeneous interfaces and by introducing small flow hydrogen to the growth and interruption processes, thin film stress and defect density are reduced. After the growth is completed, annealing treatment is performed on the thin film, so that surface atom reconstruction and stress release are further facilitated,and the quality of the InGaN epitaxial thin film is further improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optoelectronic materials and devices, and specifically relates to a method for preparing an InGaN film. Background technique [0002] Gallium nitride-based light-emitting diodes (Light Emitting Diode, LED) have the characteristics of high brightness, low energy consumption, long life, fast response speed and environmental protection, and are widely used in indoor and street lighting, traffic signal and outdoor display, automotive lighting , LCD backlight and other fields. [0003] GaN-based blue-green LEDs usually use InGaN as a quantum well and GaN as a barrier layer. Due to the large lattice mismatch between InN and GaN, there is a large stress in the multiple quantum well InGaN / GaN as the light-emitting layer, and a strong polarization electric field is formed in the quantum well. The polarization electric field makes the wave functions of electrons and holes in the quantum well separate in space, thereby r...
