Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and particularly to an epitaxial wafer, a method for preparing an epitaxial wafer, and a light-emitting diode. Background Art
[0002] Due to its advantages of low heat generation efficiency, radiation resistance, high breakdown voltage, large electron saturation drift velocity, and small dielectric constant, GaN materials have been widely used in high-frequency, high-temperature, high-voltage electronic device fields, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), semiconductor lasers (LDs), etc., and have become a current research hotspot.
[0003] During the LED epitaxial growth process, due to the lack of a substrate material that matches GaN, hetero-substrates are usually used for epitaxial growth at present, including sapphire, SiC, Si, etc. Since there is a lattice mismatch between the GaN epitaxial layer and the substrate during hetero-epitaxial growth, a large number of dislocations and defects exist at the interface of the GaN thin film obtained by hetero-epitaxial growth, seriously affecting the crystal quality and performance of the material. For example, the lattice mismatch between the sapphire substrate and GaN is 14%, and the lattice mismatch between the Si substrate and GaN is 17%, and the thermal mismatch is 56%. Currently, the growth of GaN-based LED epitaxial layers generally first prepares an AlN (or AlGaN) buffer layer by MOCVD method or PVD method or a combination of both methods to reduce the dislocations generated by the lattice mismatch between the substrate and the epitaxial layer, and then continues to epitaxially grow a three-dimensional island-shaped GaN layer, a two-dimensional undoped GaN layer, an n-type doped GaN layer, an active layer, and a p-type doped GaN layer in MOCVD. Therefore, the growth quality of the three-dimensional island-shaped GaN layer is crucial for the crystal quality of the subsequent GaN epitaxial layer.
[0004] In the prior art, the commonly used method is to make GaN exhibit a three-dimensional growth mode by increasing the growth pressure and reducing the V / III ratio. Although the conventional adjustment of the growth pressure and V / III ratio can improve the crystal quality of the GaN epitaxial layer to a certain extent, the crystal quality of the epitaxial wafer is still poor.

The terms used herein in the description of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0034] In view of the problem of poor crystal quality of current epitaxial wafers, an embodiment of the present invention proposes an epitaxial wafer, an epitaxial wafer preparation method and a light-emitting diode, wherein:
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the epitaxial wafer includes:
[0036] Substrate 1, a buffer layer 2, a three-dimensional island layer 3, a two-dimensional undoped GaN layer 4, an N-type doped GaN layer 5, a multi-quantum well layer 6, an electron blocking layer 7, a P-type doped GaN layer 8, and a contact layer 9 stacked on the substrate in sequence.
[0037] By way of example and not limitation, in this embodiment, the substrate 1 is a sapphire substrate, the buffer layer 2 is an AlGaN layer, the multi-quantum well layer 6 is composed of 5 to 12 periods of InGaN / GaN layers, where the InGaN layer is the well layer and the GaN layer is the barrier layer, the electron blocking layer 7 is an AlGaN layer, and the contact layer 9 is a GaN layer.

Moreover, the tensile stress introduced by the growth of AlN on the GaN layer can be relieved or offset by the compressive stress generated by the growth of InN on the GaN layer, reducing the stress in the epitaxial layer and lowering the epitaxial warpage; subsequently, inserting the MgN layer into the second superlattice layer 32 MgN / GaN can inhibit the lateral growth of GaN islands and delay the healing of three-dimensional GaN islands, thereby enhancing the healing of three-dimensional GaN islands and the inhibition of dislocations again, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of improving the crystal quality of the GaN epitaxial crystal.

The preset period of the first superlattice layer 31 is 10 - 15 times, and the preset period of the second superlattice layer 32 is 10 - 20 times.

[0071]
[0072] In addition, the above performances of the epitaxial wafers prepared from the existing three-dimensional island layer are tested, and the data in Table 4 are obtained.
