Abstract

The invention discloses a gallium nitride-based light emitting diode epitaxial wafer and a manufacturing method thereof, and belongs to the field of a semiconductor technology. The gallium nitride-based light emitting diode epitaxial wafer comprises a sapphire substrate, and an AlN buffer layer, a 3D nucleating layer, a non-doped GaN layer, an N type layer, a multi-quantum-well layer, an electronbarrier layer and a high-temperature P type layer which are laminated on the sapphire substrate in sequence; the 3D nucleating layer comprises a first sub layer and a second sub layer; the first sub layer is a GaN layer grown at a temperature of 800-1,100 DEG C; and the second sub layer is a GaN layer grown at a temperature of 1,000-1,200 DEG C. The lower the growth temperature of the first sub layer is, the formed crystal particles are smaller and more intensive; the crystal particles are stretched and deformed to close gaps to lower surface energy, so that tensile stress is generated, and the epitaxial wafer is to be concave, thereby improving warping and improving wavelength concentration degree; and the temperature of the second sub layer is higher, the surface energy of the crystal particles is lower, so that it is ensured that warping of the whole epitaxial wafer is not caused, thereby improving the photoelectric performance of the LED chip.
