Abstract

The invention discloses a deep ultraviolet LED with a component gradient quantum well structure and a preparation method of the deep ultraviolet LED. The deep ultraviolet LED with the component gradient quantum well structure sequentially comprises a sapphire substrate, an AlN intrinsic layer, an n-type AlGaN electron injection layer, a component gradient quantum well active layer, an electron blocking layer, a p-type AlGaN hole injection layer and a p-type GaN contact layer from bottom to top. The component gradient quantum well active layer comprises a plurality of potential well layers anda plurality of barrier layers which are sequentially and alternately arranged, and the Al component content percentage of the (m+1)-th barrier layer is larger than that of the m-th barrier layer alongthe direction from the n-type AlGaN electron injection layer to the electron blocking layer. According to the invention, in the process of growing the quantum well active layer, the plurality of barrier layers show a trend that the Al components are increased progressively, thereby improving the equivalent barrier height of the quantum well active layer, promoting the recombination of electrons and holes in the quantum well active layer, and improving the light-emitting efficiency of the deep ultraviolet LED.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronics, in particular to a deep ultraviolet LED with a composition gradient quantum well structure and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] As an outstanding representative of wide bandgap semiconductor materials, group III nitrides have realized high-efficiency blue-green light-emitting diodes (full name light-emitting diodes, referred to as LEDs), lasers and other solid-state light source devices, which are used in flat panel displays, white lighting, etc. The application has been a great success. In the past ten years, people expect to apply this high-efficiency luminescent material to the ultraviolet band to meet the increasing demand for ultraviolet light sources. According to its biological effects, the ultraviolet band can usually be divided into: long-wave ultraviolet (i.e. UVA, wavelength 320-400nm), medium-wave ultraviolet (i.e. UVB, wavelength 280-320nm), short-wave...
