Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of semiconductor devices, and provides a gallium nitride based light emitting diode epitaxial wafer and its preparation method. The galliumnitride based light emitting diode epitaxial wafer comprises a sapphire substrate, an AIN buffer layer, a superlattice stress relief layer, a 2D GsN layer, an n-type GaN layer, an MQW light-emitting layer and a P type GaN layer from bottom to top sequentially, wherein the superlattice stress relief layer is prepared by inserting AlxGa(1-x)N / ALN / GaN in 5-20 cycles in 3D growth process. The superlattice growth pattern can effectively regulate stress of the epitaxial layer, effectively prevent film cracking after growth of the epitaxial layer, and improve growth quality of the GaN thin film. Thesuperlattice can release stress effectively, a built-in electric field generated by stress in the MQW light emitting layer can be weakened greatly, quantum well energy band is reduced obliquely, electronic and hole wave functions increase in overlap, and the brightness of the MQW light emitting layer is increased greatly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of light-emitting diode preparation, and relates to a gallium nitride-based light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, GaN-based LEDs based on sapphire substrates have been successfully mass-produced and commercialized. With the saturation of the LED market, the competition among LED manufacturers is becoming more and more fierce, and the price war between LED downstream manufacturers is intensifying. The requirements for parameters and indicators are becoming more and more stringent. [0003] Due to the large lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch between the sapphire substrate and GaN, there is a large stress in the epitaxial layer of the LED, and there are a large number of dislocations in the epitaxial layer, and these dislocations will extend into the light-emitting layer. Seriously affect the brightness of the chip. In order t...
