Problems solved by technology

Obviously, using a thin metal layer as the current spreading layer can neither get good current spreading, but also introduces absorption loss, usually about 50% loss, which is why this thin metal layer is called a semi-transparent layer.
The current spreading layer prepared by this method greatly reduces the brightness of the device, and does not get a good current spreading effect

Abstract

The n-pin structure semiconductor LED consists of longitudinal stacked upper ohm contact electrode, P type upper limit layer, red or blue lighting region, n type lower limit layer, substrate and lower ohm contact electrode. The characteristic is longitudinal arranged n-current spreading layer and tunnel junction between upper ohm contact electrode and p type upper limit layer. By the invention, thickness of current spreading layer is reduced, once epitaxial growth is realized, component prodn. process of GaN LED is simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] An n-pin structure semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED) belongs to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronics. Background technique [0002] Light-emitting diodes are widely used in information indication, information display and information transmission due to their remarkable characteristics such as long life, high efficiency, small size, and environmental protection, especially in white light lighting, showing huge market potential and Application prospects. At present, red and blue light emitting diodes prepared by AlGaInP / GaAs material system and GaN-based material system respectively have become the most efficient red and blue light emitting diodes. [0003] According to the working principle of light-emitting diodes, its basic layer structure is mainly a p-i-n heterostructure, that is, a p-type upper confinement layer, an i-type light-emitting region and an n-type lower confinement layer. Usually, the thickness of the p-type upper...
