[0040] In the related art, such as Figure 1As shown, a light-emitting diode (LED) includes a first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer 3, an active layer 4, and a second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer 5 which are stacked. The active layer 4 includes a quantum well layer 401 and a barrier layer 403. The material of the quantum well layer 401 is InGaN, and the material of the barrier layer 403 is GaN. In order to enable the light-emitting diode to generate light with a longer wavelength, the content of In component in the quantum well layer 401 is often increased, and an insertion layer 402 is formed between the quantum well layer 401 and the barrier layer 403 using AlGaN. A quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) is generated between the insertion layer 402 and the quantum well layer 401, narrowing the bandgap of the quantum well to increase the emission wavelength. However, the lattice constant of the 100 crystal orientation of the material of the quantum well layer 401 is relatively large, and the lattice constant of the 100 crystal orientation of the material of the insertion layer 402 is relatively small. There is a large lattice mismatch problem between the material of the insertion layer 402 and the material of the quantum well layer 401, resulting in poor lattice quality of the epitaxially grown material of the insertion layer 402 and generating V-type defects. As the thickness of the insertion layer 402 increases, the V-type defects in the material of the insertion layer 402 will be amplified and form pits or holes, causing the In component in the material of the quantum well layer 401 to decompose and precipitate and escape during the subsequent high-temperature epitaxial growth process, affecting the uniformity of the In component and at the same time reducing the content of the In component in the material of the quantum well layer 401, thereby reducing the optoelectronic performance of the light-emitting diode (LED).
[0041] Embodiment 1
[0042] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for preparing an LED structure according to Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure. Figure 3 and Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of an LED structure according to Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of an insertion layer in an LED structure according to Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure.
[0043] As Figure 2 shown, the method for preparing an LED structure according to Embodiment 1 may include steps S100 to S120, where:
[0044] Step S100: Grow a first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer on a substrate.
[0045] Step S110: Grow an active layer on the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer. The active layer includes a quantum well layer, an insertion layer, and a barrier layer which are stacked. The insertion layer includes a first insertion layer and a second insertion layer which are stacked. A quantum-confined Stark effect is generated between the first insertion layer and the quantum well layer; the materials of the quantum well layer, the first insertion layer, and the barrier layer are all III-V group semiconductor materials, and the material of the second insertion layer contains Si-N bonds and is used to repair the V-type defects of the first insertion layer.
[0046] Step S120: Grow a second-type semiconductor layer on the active layer. The conductivity type of the first-type semiconductor layer is opposite to that of the second-type semiconductor layer.
[0047] The manufacturing method of the LED structure of this embodiment is as Figures 3 to 5 shown. The active layer 4 includes a quantum well layer 401, an insertion layer 402, and a barrier layer 403 that are stacked. The insertion layer 402 includes a first insertion layer 4021 and a second insertion layer 4022 that are stacked. A quantum-confined Stark effect is generated between the first insertion layer 4021 and the quantum well layer 401. The Si-N bonds in the material of the second insertion layer 4022 can repair the V-type defects in the first insertion layer 4021 formed due to the lattice mismatch between the material of the first insertion layer 4021 and the material of the quantum well layer 401, thereby solving the problem of the reduction in the optoelectronic performance of the light-emitting diode caused by the lattice mismatch between the first insertion layer 4021 and the quantum well layer 401, and preventing the reduction in the optoelectronic performance of the light-emitting diode.
[0048] The following details each step of this embodiment:
[0049] In step S100, grow a first-type semiconductor layer on a substrate.
[0050] As Figure 3 shown, the substrate 1 can be one of a sapphire substrate 1, a silicon carbide substrate 1, and a silicon substrate 1, and this embodiment does not limit this. In addition, before forming the first-type semiconductor layer 3, this embodiment can also form a buffer layer 2 on the substrate 1. The first-type semiconductor layer 3 can be grown on the buffer layer 2. Among them, the first-type semiconductor layer 3 can be formed in a reaction chamber, and its forming process can include: atomic layer deposition (ALD, Atomic layer deposition), or chemical vapor deposition (CVD, Chemical Vapor Deposition), or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE, Molecular Beam Epitaxy), or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD, Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition), or low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD, Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition), or metal organic chemical vapor deposition, or a combination thereof. The buffer layer 2 and the first-type semiconductor layer 3 can both be group III-V semiconductor materials, such as GaN, etc. Among them, the material of the first-type semiconductor layer 3 can be N-type GaN.
[0051] In step S110, an active layer is grown on the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer. The active layer includes a quantum well layer, an insertion layer, and a barrier layer which are stacked. The insertion layer includes a first insertion layer and a second insertion layer which are stacked. A quantum-confined Stark effect is generated between the first insertion layer and the quantum well layer. The materials of the quantum well layer, the first insertion layer, and the barrier layer are all III-V semiconductor materials. The material of the second insertion layer contains Si-N bonds and is used to repair the V-shaped defects of the first insertion layer.
[0052] As Figure 3 shown, the active layer 4 can be a single quantum well structure, which includes a quantum well layer 401, an insertion layer 402, and a barrier layer 403. Of course, as Figure 4 shown, the active layer 4 can also be a multi-quantum well structure, where the quantum well layer 401 and the barrier layer 403 are alternately arranged, and an insertion layer 402 is provided between any adjacent quantum well layer 401 and barrier layer 403. The material of the quantum well layer 401 can be InGaN, and the material of the barrier layer 403 can be GaN, but the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make special limitations on this. The formation process of the quantum well layer 401 and the barrier layer 403 can refer to the formation process of the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer 3.
[0053] As Figure 5 shown, the insertion layer 402 includes a first insertion layer 4021 and a second insertion layer 4022 which are stacked. Among them, the top and bottom of the insertion layer 402 are both the first insertion layer 4021. A quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) is generated between the first insertion layer 4021 and the quantum well layer 401, narrowing the bandgap of the quantum well to increase the emission wavelength. The material of the first insertion layer 4021 can be AlGaN or AlInGaN. The material of the second insertion layer 4022 can be Si-doped AlGaN. Taking the material of the quantum well layer 401 as InGaN as an example, the Si-N bonds in the material of the second insertion layer 4022 can repair the V-shaped defects in the first insertion layer 4021 formed due to the lattice mismatch between the material of the first insertion layer 4021 and the material of the quantum well layer 401, avoiding the formation of pits or holes in the above-mentioned V-shaped defects, and preventing the In component in the material of the quantum well layer 401 from decomposing and precipitating during the subsequent high-temperature epitaxial growth process.
[0054] As Figure 5As shown, the formation processes of the first insertion layer 4021 and the second insertion layer 4022 may refer to the formation process of the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer 3. Among them, the Si-N bonds in the second insertion layer 4022 are achieved by introducing a silicon source into the reaction chamber. The silicon source may include silane and / or disilane, but the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make special limitations thereto. For example, taking the material of the first insertion layer 4021 as AlGaN, the growth method of the insertion layer 402 may include: simultaneously introducing an Al source, a Ga source, ammonia gas, and a carrier gas into the reaction chamber to grow the first insertion layer 4021; simultaneously introducing an Al source, a Ga source, an Si source, ammonia gas, and a carrier gas into the reaction chamber to grow the second insertion layer 4022. Among them, the ratio of the molar rate of introducing the Si source to the molar rate of introducing the Ga source may be 1 / 107 - 1 / 105, such as 1 / 107, 1 / 106, 1 / 105, etc. The ratio of the growth time of one second insertion layer 4022 to the growth time of the insertion layer 402 may be 1 / 100 - 1 / 5, such as 1 / 100, 1 / 60, 1 / 20, 1 / 5, etc. Optionally, the ratio of the molar rate of introducing the Si source to the molar rate of introducing the Ga source during the growth of the first insertion layer 4021 may be 1 / 107 - 1 / 105. The molar rate of introducing the Ga source during the growth of the first insertion layer 4021 may be the same as the molar rate of introducing the Ga source during the growth of the second insertion layer 4022.
[0055] In step S120, a second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer is grown on the active layer, and the conductivity types of the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer are opposite.
[0056] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer 5 may be a group III-V semiconductor material, such as GaN, etc. Taking the material of the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer 3 as N-type GaN, the material of the second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer 5 may be P-type GaN. The formation process of the second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer 5 may refer to the formation process of the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer 3.
[0057] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, the LED structure prepared in this embodiment may include an active layer 4. The active layer 4 may include a quantum well layer 401, an insertion layer 402, and a barrier layer 403 which are stacked. The insertion layer 402 includes a first insertion layer 4021 and a second insertion layer 4022 which are stacked, and a quantum-confined Stark effect is generated between the first insertion layer 4021 and the quantum well layer 401. The materials of the quantum well layer 401, the first insertion layer 4021, and the barrier layer 403 are all group III-V semiconductor materials. The material of the second insertion layer 4022 contains Si-N bonds and is used to repair the V-type defects of the first insertion layer 4021.
