AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The use of sapphire as a substrate for MOCVD epitaxy in existing technologies results in poor crystal quality of AlGaN materials, making it difficult to increase the carrier concentration of P-type AlGaN. This leads to low luminous efficiency and insufficient purity of UVB and UVC LEDs, as well as uneven electron mobility, resulting in parasitic emission spectra and affecting the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the electro-excited light spectrum.

Method used

A multi-period p-type AldGa1-dN/AleGa1-eN electron blocking layer structure is adopted. By alternating AldGa1-dN and AleGa1-eN layers, the electron and hole concentrations are uniformly distributed, which increases the probability of radiative recombination of electrons and holes in the multi-quantum well, reduces the radiative recombination of electrons overflowing to the p-region epitaxial layer, and improves the emission spectrum.

Benefits of technology

It improves the luminous efficiency and purity of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, reduces the half-width at half maximum (WHM) of the emission spectrum, enhances the effective radiative recombination of charge carriers in multiple quantum traps, and improves the overall performance of LEDs.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of light-emitting diodes, in particular to a deep ultraviolet light-emitting diode epitaxial structure, a preparation method and a light-emitting device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, due to the solid-state semiconductor deep ultraviolet (UVB and UVC ) LED The light source has the characteristics of safety, small size, environmental protection, high efficiency and low energy consumption, and is widely used in medical treatment, food processing, bacteria killing and other fields. The main material of UVB LED and UVC LED is AlGaN compound semiconductor. In order to reduce the manufacturing cost of UVB LED and UVC LED, sapphire is mainly used as the substrate of MOCVD epitaxy process in related technologies.

[0003] Due to the lattice and thermal mismatch, using sapphire as the substrate of MOCVD epitaxy process will cause the crystalline quality of AlGaN material to be poor, especially as the wavelength of the multi-quantum well active region can emit near UVB band and below UVC band, the composition of p-type AlGaN required in the structure of UVB LED and UVC LED also needs to be increased.

[0004] However, as the composition of AlGaN increases, the P-type doping carrier concentration of the AlGaN epitaxial layer is more difficult to improve, when the electron concentration and hole concentration injected into the multi-quantum well active region are unevenly distributed, in addition to the fact that the effective radiation recombination probability of the multi-quantum well in the active region cannot be increased to increase the internal quantum efficiency, the excess electrons that do not participate in the effective radiation recombination of the multi-quantum well active region are easy to escape from the active layer and overflow to the p-epitaxial layer to produce additional radiation recombination, which will also cause the parasitic light spectrum of the long wavelength to occur, and the parasitic light spectrum and the light spectrum generated by the active region will be combined to increase the full width at half maximum of the electrically excited light spectrum of the UVB LED and UVC LED, and further cause the insufficient purity of the UVB LED and UVC LED light emission.
