Abstract

The invention discloses a deep ultraviolet LED with a composition gradient quantum well structure and a preparation method thereof. The deep ultraviolet LED with a composition gradient quantum well structure sequentially comprises a sapphire substrate, an AlN intrinsic layer, an n-type AlGaN electron injection layer, composition graded quantum well active layer, electron blocking layer, p-type AlGaN hole injection layer and p-type GaN contact layer; composition graded quantum well active layer includes several potentials arranged alternately in sequence well layer and several barrier layers, and along the direction from the n-type AlGaN electron injection layer to the electron blocking layer, the Al composition percentage of the m+1 barrier layer is greater than the Al composition content of the m barrier layer percentage. In the process of growing the quantum well active layer, the present invention makes several potential barrier layers show a trend of increasing Al composition, thereby increasing the equivalent potential barrier height of the quantum well active layer, and promoting electrons and holes in the quantum well. The recombination of the active layer improves the luminous 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...
