Problems solved by technology

However, due to the high hole activation energy of the high Al composition AlGaN layer, it is difficult to activate doping elements such as Mg to form effective holes, so that the hole concentration of the hole injection layer is low, which eventually leads to the ultraviolet LED The quantum efficiency is usually less than 2%, and the luminous efficiency is low. For example, the luminous brightness of the current ultraviolet LED chip with a specification of 1mm×1mm is only about 50mW under the driving current of 350mA, which seriously affects the sterilization and phototherapy of ultraviolet LEDs.
