Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, and more particularly, to a semiconductor laser element provided with a hydrogen and oxygen evolution layer. Background Art
[0002] Lasers are widely used in fields such as laser display, laser TV, laser projector, communication, medical treatment, weapons, guidance, ranging, spectral analysis, cutting, precision welding, high-density optical storage, etc. There are many types of lasers, and the classification methods are also diverse. The main types include solid-state, gas, liquid, semiconductor, and dye lasers; compared with other types of lasers, all-solid-state semiconductor lasers have the advantages of small volume, high efficiency, light weight, good stability, long life, simple and compact structure, and miniaturization. There are significant differences between lasers and nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes: 1) Laser is generated by stimulated emission of carriers, with a relatively small spectral full width at half maximum, very high brightness, and the output power of a single laser can be in the W level, while nitride semiconductor light-emitting diodes are spontaneous emission, and the output power of a single light-emitting diode is in the mW level; 2) The operating current density of lasers reaches KA / cm2, which is more than 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of nitride light-emitting diodes, resulting in stronger electron leakage, more severe Auger recombination, stronger polarization effects, and more serious electron-hole mismatch, leading to a more serious efficiency droop effect; 3) Light-emitting diodes have spontaneous transition radiation, which is incoherent light that transitions from a high energy level to a low energy level without external influence, while lasers are stimulated transition radiation, and the energy of the induced photon should be equal to the energy difference between the electron transition levels, generating photons that are identical and coherent with the induced photons; 4) The principles are different: Light-emitting diodes generate radiative recombination luminescence when electrons and holes transition to quantum wells or p-n junctions under the action of an external voltage, while lasers require lasing conditions to be met before lasing can occur. It must satisfy the condition of carrier population inversion distribution in the active region. The stimulated emission light oscillates back and forth in the resonant cavity, and the propagation in the gain medium amplifies the light. When the threshold condition is met, the gain is greater than the loss, and finally, laser light is output. Nitride semiconductor lasers have the following problems: 1) The Mg acceptor in p-type semiconductors has a large activation energy and low ionization efficiency. The hole concentration is much lower than the electron concentration, and the hole mobility is much smaller than the electron mobility. Moreover, problems such as the quantum well polarization electric field increasing the hole injection barrier and holes spilling out of the active layer result in uneven hole injection and low efficiency, leading to a serious asymmetry and mismatch between electrons and holes in the quantum well, electron leakage, and carrier delocalization. It is more difficult for holes to transport in the quantum well, uneven carrier injection, uneven gain, and at the same time, the gain spectrum of the laser broadens, and the peak gain decreases, resulting in an increase in the threshold current of the laser and a decrease in the slope efficiency; 2) Intrinsic carbon impurities in p-type semiconductors can compensate for acceptors and destroy the p-type, etc.; the ionization rate of p-type doping is low, and a large number of un-ionized Mg acceptor impurities are one of the main sources of internal optical loss. 3) Problems such as low Mg solubility, high Mg ionization energy, high acceptor activation energy, and low Mg ionization efficiency in the p-type contact layer of traditional nitride semiconductors result in a generally low free hole concentration of less than 5E17cm -3; In particular, the ionization energy of Mg and the acceptor activation energy gradually increase with the increase of the Al component, resulting in a further decrease in the hole density of the electron blocking layer, the upper confinement layer, and the contact layer. After the laser emits light, the carrier concentration in the multi-quantum well active region saturates, the bipolar conductivity effect weakens, and the series resistance of the laser increases, leading to an increase in the laser voltage.

A hydrogen and oxygen evolution layer 107 is provided above the upper confinement layer 106 for adsorbing and desorbing hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms of the upper confinement layer 106.
[0049] The hydrogen and oxygen evolution layer 107 is above the upper confinement layer 106. By an electrochemical method, under an externally applied bias voltage and photocatalytic conditions, it adsorbs hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms in the upper confinement layer and efficiently desorbs the hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms.

At the same time, the strong interface coupling effect adjusts the electronic structure, adsorbs hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms in the upper confinement layer under an external bias voltage by an electrochemical method, and efficiently desorbs the hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms. The mass activity of hydrogen and oxygen evolution is increased by more than 5 times compared with that of the traditional Pt / C, forming H2 and O2 to be discharged from the surface, increasing the ionization rate of the p-type doping element in the upper confinement layer and reducing the acceptor activation energy, and increasing the hole concentration in the upper confinement layer.
