Problems solved by technology

The traditional last quantum barrier layer is the same repeated GaN layer as the previous quantum barrier layer, which will produce a large lattice mismatch and energy band change with the EBL electron blocking layer, and the sudden change of the energy band will occur in the last quantum barrier layer. A barrier peak is partially formed, which is not conducive to the injection of holes and affects the luminous efficiency
