Problems solved by technology

[0003] Most of the traditional nitride components form an AlGaInN series nitride buffer layer on a sapphire substrate, and then perform a nitride epitaxy process on this buffer layer; due to the problem of lattice constant matching, even up to now, it is still unable to effectively reduce dislocations Density; it is generally believed that the density of dislocations has a considerable relationship with the quality of components. In order to improve the quality of nitride growth, the traditional nitride epitaxy process uses two-step growth, that is, at low temperature (500 ~ GaN at 600°C) is used as a buffer layer, and then undergoes a specific heating process and high temperature (1000-1200°C) treatment to crystallize (Crystallization), and then continue the epitaxial growth of each epitaxial stack
Since the quality of the buffer layer directly affects the subsequent epitaxial quality, hundreds of epitaxial parameters such as the thickness and temperature of the buffer layer, the recovery and recrystallization process of heating, the ratio and flow rate of various reaction gas flows must be carefully controlled, resulting in The complexity and difficulty of the process increase, coupled with the need to increase the growth temperature, low temperature switching, the time-consuming heating and cooling process and waiting for the temperature to stabilize, which virtually reduces the production efficiency

Embodiment 2

[0033] Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is a nitride light-emitting component 2 with an aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) buffer layer. Its component structure is similar to that of embodiment 1, only the material and manufacturing method of the buffer layer are different. The formation steps of the aluminum gallium nitride buffer layer are as follows:

[0034] The organoaluminum reaction source TMAl is introduced at 1020°C to form an aluminum-rich transition layer; the organic gallium reaction source TMGa and the nitrogen reaction source NH are introduced at the same temperature 3 , to directly grow high-temperature gallium nitride stacks; during this period, the aluminum atoms in the aluminum-rich transition layer will diffuse upwards, and the nitrogen atoms and gallium atoms above it will also diffuse downwards to bond with the aforementioned aluminum atoms and rearrange them, thereby forming AlGaN buffer layer.

Embodiment 3

[0037] Please refer to FIG. 3 , according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a nitride light-emitting component 3 with an aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) buffer layer, and a nitride light-emitting component with an aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) buffer layer The difference between 1 and 2 is that the metal transparent conductive layer on the P-type nitride semiconductor layer 14 is replaced by a transparent oxide conductive layer 28, and a high concentration of N is formed between the P-type nitride semiconductor layer 14 and the transparent oxide conductive layer 28. Type reverse tunnel contact layer 29, its thickness is less than 10nm, and its carrier concentration is higher than 1×10 19 cm -3 above. Since the transparent oxidized conductive layer 28 and the P-type nitride semiconductor layer 14 are less likely to form a good Ohmic contact, the transparent oxidized conductive layer is formed through the high-concentration N-type reverse tunnel cont...
