Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of light-emitting diodes, and in particular to a light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a representative of third-generation semiconductors, gallium nitride (GaN) has become the most promising material for future semiconductors due to its wide bandgap and high electron mobility. GaN-based devices, in particular, are widely used in electronic systems such as wireless communications and radar in the microwave and millimeter wave bands, and hold great promise for development in optoelectronics and microelectronics.

[0003] Currently, epitaxial structures are commonly used, consisting of a substrate, a buffer layer, an n-type layer, a multi-quantum well, an electron blocking layer, a p-type GaN layer, and a p-type contact layer. The primary source of light emission is the multi-quantum well layer. For GaN epitaxial layers, polarization effects are a significant factor influencing device performance. As the In content increases, the lattice mismatch between the InGaN well layer and the GaN barrier layer increases rapidly, and the compressive strain in the InGaN well layer increases rapidly, leading to a strong piezoelectric polarization effect in the well layer and the generation of a large number of misfit dislocations. The resulting spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization cause the wave functions of electrons and holes in the quantum well to separate spatially, thereby reducing the recombination probability of electrons and holes. This also leads to severe band bending, which reduces the quantum well's ability to confine carriers, resulting in a large leakage current.

[0004] In order to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of GaN-based light-emitting devices, one method is to reduce the piezoelectric polarization effect, and another method is to reduce the spontaneous polarization effect. However, many structures are not effective in reducing polarization. For example, InGaN, AlInN or AlxGa1-xN are used as quantum barriers, and the thickness of the wells and barriers in the quantum wells, the number of quantum wells, and the doping of the quantum well barriers are adjusted to limit the overflow of carriers and improve the ability of holes to be evenly distributed, that is, to increase the recombination probability of the wave function, but the effect is limited.

[0045] In this embodiment, the growth pattern of each well layer of the first multi-quantum well barrier layer 151, each well layer of the second multi-quantum well barrier layer 154, and each well layer of the third multi-quantum well barrier layer 156 is a trapezoidal form, and the In composition therein remains unchanged, between 10% and 50%; in this embodiment, each first In y1 Ga 1-y1 N well layer, each second In y1 Ga 1-y1 N well layer and each third In y1 Ga 1- y1 The content of In component in the N-well layer is 30%.

[0046] Each barrier layer of the first multi-quantum well layer 151 is doped with Si element, with a doping concentration of 5×10 17 cm -3 ~1×10 19 cm -3, Si element is doped in the n-type isolation layer 152, and the doping concentration is 5×10 17 cm -3 ~1×10 19 cm -3 ; The electron potential barrier is reduced, the mobility of electrons is enhanced, the electron concentration of the first multi-quantum well barrier layer 151 is balanced, and excessive electron overshoot is prevented, thereby weakening the droop effect; In this embodiment, each barrier layer of the first multi-quantum well barrier layer 151 is doped with 5×10 18 cm -3 Si element, the n-type isolation layer 152 is doped with 5×10 18 cm -3 of Si element.

[0047] Each barrier layer of the third multi-quantum well layer 156 is doped with Mg element, with a doping concentration of 5×10 17 cm -3 ~1×10 19 cm -3 Mg is doped in the p-type isolation layer 155 at a concentration of 5×10 17 cm -3 ~1×10 19 cm -3 ; The hole barrier height is reduced, the hole mobility is increased, the hole injection efficiency is improved, the electron-hole recombination efficiency is improved, and the electron barrier height is increased, which weakens the droop effect caused by electron overshoot; In this embodiment, each barrier layer of the third multi-quantum well barrier layer 156 is doped with 5.5×10 18 cm -3 Mg element, the p-type isolation layer 155 is doped with 5.5×10 18 cm -3 of Mg element.

At the same time, due to the relatively small atomic volume of A, it can be inserted or filled in the blank position caused by the dislocation, indirectly weakening the piezoelectric polarization effect. At the same time, the Si3N4 layer and A y3 Ga 1-y3 The thickness of the N layer is thin, and as it changes periodically, the compressive stress is weakened and brought into the second multi-quantum well barrier layer 154 to cause a piezoelectric polarization effect, that is, a strained superlattice structure is formed.

[0106] Table 1: Comparison of some parameters of various embodiments and comparative examples and the corresponding improvement in light efficiency

[0107]

[0108]

[0109] As can be seen from Table 1, the present invention effectively improves the light efficiency compared to the control example by providing a stress compensation layer 153 and each multi-quantum well barrier layer on the light-emitting layer 15, and changing the Si element doping concentration in each barrier layer of the first multi-quantum well barrier layer 151 and the n-type isolation layer 152, and the Mg element doping concentration in each barrier layer of the third multi-quantum well barrier layer 156 and the p-type isolation layer 155.

[0110] In summary, the Al composition and In composition in each barrier layer of the first multi-quantum well barrier layer 151 and each barrier layer of the second multi-quantum well barrier layer 154 change linearly, so that the original sudden potential energy gradient at the boundary between the adjacent barrier layer and the well layer in the light-emitting layer 15 is modulated into a potential energy gradient with a linear buffer change, thereby effectively reducing the influence of the excessive sudden change of the potential energy gradient at the well-barrier boundary on the transport of holes to the deep quantum well, and at the same time weakening the piezoelectric polarization effect caused by the lattice mismatch between the well layer and the barrier layer, thereby improving the wave function overlap efficiency; through the design of linear component change, polarization-induced holes are generated in the well layer or barrier layer, and the hole concentration is made equivalent to the background electron concentration of the well layer or barrier layer material, thereby generating a compensation effect, and finally forming a well layer or barrier layer high resistance layer; each barrier layer of the first multi-quantum well barrier layer 151 and the n-type isolation layer 152 are doped with Si elements, which reduces the electron potential The barrier layer 154 is provided with a p-type isolation layer 155, which increases the mobility of the electrons and makes the electron concentration of the first multi-quantum well barrier layer 151 reach a balance, thereby preventing excessive electron overshoot and thus weakening the droop effect. The barrier layers of the third multi-quantum well barrier layer 156 and the p-type isolation layer 155 are doped with Mg elements, which reduces the hole barrier height, increases the mobility of the holes, improves the hole injection efficiency, and improves the recombination efficiency of electrons and holes. At the same time, it also increases the height of the electron barrier and weakens the droop effect caused by electron overshoot. The role of the stress compensation layer 153 is to continuously block and change the extension of the dislocation line from the bottom layer through the Si3N4 layer, so that multiple dislocation lines cross and achieve the effect of annihilation. At the same time, due to the small relative atomic volume of A, the vacant position caused by the dislocation can be inserted or filled, which indirectly weakens the piezoelectric polarization effect. At the same time, the Si3N4 layer and A y3 Ga 1-y3 The N layer is thin and changes periodically, thereby weakening the compressive stress and bringing it into the second multi-quantum well barrier layer 154 to cause a piezoelectric polarization effect, that is, forming a strained superlattice structure, thereby effectively improving the luminous efficiency of the epitaxial wafer.
