Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular, the invention relates to a near-infrared heterojunction light-emitting diode array and a forming method thereof. Background technique [0002] Light-emitting diodes (Light-emitting-diodes) are semiconductor diodes that convert electrical energy into light energy by electroluminescence. Structurally speaking, light-emitting diodes are the same as conventional diodes, that is, they are composed of a PN junction and have unidirectional conductivity. When the PN junction is in balance, there is a certain potential barrier region. When a forward bias voltage is applied, the potential barrier is lowered, and the built-in electric field in the potential barrier region is also weakened accordingly. Electrons are injected from the N region to the P region, and holes are injected from the P region to the N region. These electrons entering the P region and The holes entering the N...
