Abstract

The invention discloses an LED epitaxial growth method for reducing the dislocation density of a quantum well. The method comprises the steps of processing a sapphire substrate; sequentially growing alow-temperature buffer GaN layer and an undoped GaN layer; growing an N-type GaN layer doped with Si; growing a multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, specifically, growing an InxGa(1-x)N well layer (x=0.18-0.23) of 2.0-4.0nm under the condition that the using amount of SiH4 is 0.2-2sccm; growing a GaN barrier layer of 8-14nm, wherein the InxGa(1-x)N well layer (x=0.18-0.23) and the GaN barrierlayer periodically grow to form the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, the period number is 6-15, and the total thickness is 120-300nm; growing a PAlGaN electron barrier layer doped with Al andMg; growing a P-type GaN layer doped with Mg; and cooling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of LED epitaxial wafer growth, in particular to an LED epitaxial growth method for reducing the dislocation density of quantum wells. Background technique [0002] The LED structure obtained by LED epitaxial growth affects the development of semiconductor lighting. At present, the commonly used GaN growth method is patterning on a sapphire substrate. There is a large lattice mismatch (13-16%) and thermal mismatch between sapphire and GaN, which makes the misfit dislocation density in the GaN epitaxial layer high (~1010cm-2), which affects the quality of the GaN epitaxial layer, thus Affect device quality (luminous efficiency, drain electrode, lifetime, etc.). The traditional method is to use a low-temperature buffer layer to improve the crystal quality of the GaN epitaxial layer by adjusting the nitriding of the sapphire substrate, the growth temperature of the low-temperature buffer layer, and the thicknes...
