Problems solved by technology

Severe current leakage will lead to adverse consequences such as reduced quantum efficiency, reduced reliability, and short life of the light-emitting diode device, which will affect the efficiency of the light-emitting diode. Therefore, reducing current leakage has always been the goal of deep light-emitting diode design and production. important goal
[0004] The current common deep ultraviolet light-emitting diode structure usually includes a substrate, n-type AlGaN layer, multiple quantum well layer, electron blocking layer and p-type layer. The electron blocking layer often uses AlGaN material with high Al composition, but the high Al composition AlGaN growth is difficult, the obtained crystal quality is poor, and the current leakage is serious, and the hole concentration is low, resulting in poor crystal quality and low luminous efficiency of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes.
