Traditional multiple quantum well layers consist of periodically stacked InGaN potential well layers and GaN quantum barrier layers. However, the traditional multiple quantum well layer structure suffers from the following problems: (1) low hole mobility coupled with the difficulty in activating holes results in insufficient holes in the region near the N-type semiconductor layer; (2) low InGaN growth temperature leads to poor lattice quality, causing defect accumulation after periodic stacking and the formation of non-radiative recombination centers; (3) excessively high electron mobility, making it easy for electrons to overflow into the P-type semiconductor layer. These problems severely affect the luminous efficiency and antistatic capability of LEDs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an epitaxial wafer for light-emitting diodes that can improve the luminous efficiency and antistatic capability of light-emitting diodes.

[0013] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the doping concentration of the Lu-doped GaN sublayer is 1×10⁻⁶. 14 -1×10 16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the Mg-doped GaN sublayer is 1×10⁻⁶. 14 -1×10 16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the B-doped GaN sublayer is 1×10⁻⁶. 14 -1×10 16 cm -3 The doping concentration of the Si-doped GaN sublayer is 1×10⁻⁶. 15 -1×10 17 cm -3 .

[0014] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the thickness of the first quantum well layer and the second quantum well layer is 3-7 nm; the number of periods of the first multi-quantum well layer is 2-8; and the number of periods of the second multi-quantum well layer is 2-8.

[0015] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the electron blocking layer is a periodic structure formed by alternating AlGaN and InGaN layers, with a period number of 3-15; the thickness of the electron blocking layer is 15-50 nm.

[0016] Accordingly, the present invention also discloses a method for preparing a light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer, for preparing the above-mentioned light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer, comprising:

[0017] A substrate is provided on which a nucleation layer, an intrinsic GaN layer, an N-type GaN layer, a multiple quantum well layer, an electron blocking layer and a P-type GaN layer are sequentially grown.

[0018] The multi-quantum well layer includes a first multi-quantum well layer and a second multi-quantum well layer stacked on the first multi-quantum well layer;

[0025] Accordingly, the present invention also discloses a light-emitting diode, including the above-mentioned light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer.

[0026] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] (1) The light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer provided by the present invention comprises a Lu-doped GaN sublayer and a Mg-doped GaN sublayer in the first composite quantum barrier layer. After Lu doping GaN, shallow energy level impurities are induced, causing the conduction band to shift to a lower energy direction and the valence band to shift upward, which is beneficial for hole injection; the addition of Mg can generate holes. Both Lu and Mg doping are beneficial to increasing the hole concentration in the first multi-quantum-well layer, thereby improving the luminous efficiency.

[0028] The second composite quantum barrier layer comprises a boron-doped GaN sublayer and a silicon-doped GaN sublayer. Boron-doped GaN has a higher energy level, which blocks electrons and reduces electron mobility. Furthermore, the small size of boron atoms allows them to act as filler atoms, reducing vacancy defects and improving the lattice quality of the second quantum well layer. Si atoms increase electron spreadability, preventing electron beam overflow caused by poor electron spread. The doping of boron and silicon alleviates electron overflow in the second quantum well layer and mitigates defect accumulation caused by sustained low temperatures, thereby improving luminous efficiency and antistatic properties.

[0029] (2) The light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer provided by the present invention has a first composite quantum barrier layer and a second composite quantum barrier layer, both of which are periodic structures with alternating stacking, which can further increase the carrier concentration in the multi-quantum well layer, thereby improving the luminous efficiency.

[0030] (3) The second quantum well layer of the light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer provided by the present invention has an electron blocking effect, so the thickness of the electron blocking layer can be reduced accordingly, thereby reducing the blocking effect on holes and avoiding light absorption by the electron blocking layer, thus further improving the luminous efficiency.

[0036] Figure 6 This is a flowchart of the method for preparing the epitaxial wafer of a light-emitting diode in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer, including a substrate 1, and a nucleation layer 2, an intrinsic GaN layer 3, an N-type GaN layer 4, a multiple quantum well layer 5, an electron blocking layer 6, and a P-type GaN layer 7 sequentially stacked on the substrate 1. The multiple quantum well layer 5 includes a first multiple quantum well layer 51 and a second multiple quantum well layer 52 stacked on the first multiple quantum well layer 51.

[0039] The first multiple quantum well layer 51 is a periodic structure formed by alternating layers of a first quantum well layer 511 and a first composite quantum barrier layer 512. The first composite quantum barrier layer 512 includes a Lu-doped GaN sublayer 5121 and a Mg-doped GaN sublayer 5122 stacked sequentially. Lu doping of GaN induces shallow-level impurities, causing the conduction band to shift towards lower energies and the valence band to shift upwards, thus facilitating hole injection and alleviating the problem of insufficient holes in the multiple quantum wells. The addition of Mg can generate holes and also helps increase the hole concentration in the first multiple quantum well layer 51 near the N-type GaN layer.

[0040] The second multiple quantum well layer 52 is a periodic structure formed by alternating layers of a second quantum well layer 521 and a second composite quantum barrier layer 522. The second composite quantum barrier layer 522 includes sequentially stacked B-doped GaN sublayers 5221 and Si-doped GaN sublayers 5222. The higher energy level of the B-doped GaN material impedes electron flow, reducing electron mobility and significantly mitigating electron overflow. Furthermore, the relatively small size of B atoms allows them to act as filler atoms, reducing vacancy defects and improving the lattice quality of the second multiple quantum well layer 52. This avoids the continuous accumulation of defects and deterioration of lattice quality that occurs when the second multiple quantum well layer 52 grows near the P-type layer due to the continuous low-temperature growth of traditional multiple quantum well layers, leading to non-radiative recombination, decreased luminous efficiency, and reduced device electrostatic discharge capability. Si atoms increase electron spread, preventing electron beam overflow to the P-type layer due to poor electron spread and increasing electron-hole recombination in the second multiple quantum well layer 52 near the P-type layer.

[0041] Preferably, the first composite quantum barrier layer 512 is a periodic structure formed by alternating stacking of Lu-doped GaN sublayers 5121 and Mg-doped GaN sublayers 5122, with a period number of 5-15; the thickness of the Lu-doped GaN sublayer 5121 is 0.5-1 nm; and the thickness of the Mg-doped GaN sublayer 5122 is 0.5-1 nm.

[0042] The second composite quantum barrier layer 522 is a periodic structure formed by alternating layers of B-doped GaN sublayer 5221 and Si-doped GaN sublayer 5222, with a period number of 5-15; the thickness of the B-doped GaN sublayer 5221 is 0.1-1 nm; the thickness of the Si-doped GaN sublayer 5222 is 0.1-1 nm.

[0043] Preferably, when the first composite quantum barrier layer is an alternating stacked periodic structure, the hole concentration of the first multi-quantum well layer can be further increased, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency; when the second composite quantum barrier layer is an alternating stacked periodic structure, the electron mobility and defect accumulation in the second multi-quantum well layer can be further reduced, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency and antistatic capability.

[0044] The doping concentration of the Lu-doped GaN sublayer 5121 is 1×10⁻⁶. 14 -1×10 16 cm -3 If the doping concentration of the Lu-doped GaN sublayer 5121 is < 1 × 10⁻⁶ 14 cm -3 The number of holes that can be injected is relatively small. If the doping concentration of the Lu-doped GaN sublayer 5121 is >1×10⁻⁶, the maximum number of holes that can be injected is relatively small. 16 cm -3 Defects are easily formed; the doping concentration of the Mg-doped GaN sublayer 5122 is 1×10⁻⁶. 14 -1×10 16 cm -3 If the doping concentration of the Mg-doped GaN sublayer 5122 is < 1 × 10⁻⁶ 14 cm -3 The number of holes generated is relatively small. If the doping concentration of the Mg-doped GaN sublayer 5122 is >1×10⁻⁶, the number of holes generated is relatively small. 16 cm -3 This will result in too many defects; the doping concentration of the B-doped GaN sublayer 5221 is 1×10⁻⁶. 14 -1×10 16 cm -3 If the doping concentration of the B-doped GaN sublayer 5221 is < 1 × 10⁻⁶ 14 cm -3 It has a relatively small blocking effect on electrons. If the doping concentration of the B-doped GaN sublayer 5221 is >1×10 16 cm -3 This will affect the filling effect on defects; the doping concentration of the Si-doped GaN sublayer 5222 is 1×10⁻⁶. 15 -1×10 17 cm -3 If the doping concentration of the Si-doped GaN sublayer 5222 is < 1 × 10 14 cm -3 It is difficult to generate enough electrons if the doping concentration of the Si-doped GaN sublayer 5222 is >1×10⁻⁶. 16 cm -3 This will cause the defects to increase further.

[0045] The first quantum well layer 511 and the second quantum well layer 521 are InGaN layers, and the thickness of the first quantum well layer 511 and the second quantum well layer 521 is 3-7 nm. The number of periods of the first quantum well layer 51 is 2-8. The number of periods of the second quantum well layer 52 is 2-8.

[0046] Since the second quantum well layer 52 has a certain electron blocking effect, the thickness of the electron blocking layer 6 can be reduced, thereby reducing the blocking effect on holes and avoiding light absorption by the electron blocking layer 6, further improving the luminous efficiency. Specifically, the electron blocking layer 6 is a periodic structure formed by alternating AlGaN and InGaN layers, with a period number of 3-15, and the thickness of the InGaN layer is 2-8 nm, and the thickness of the AlGaN layer is 2-8 nm.

[0047] In addition, the substrate 1 can be a sapphire substrate.

[0048] The nucleation layer 2 is an AlGaN layer or an AlN layer, and the thickness of the nucleation layer 2 is 20-100 nm.

[0049] The thickness of the intrinsic GaN layer 3 is 300-800 nm.

[0050] The N-type GaN layer 4 can be Si-doped, with a Si doping concentration of 5 × 10⁴. 18 -1×10 19 cm -3 The thickness of the N-type GaN layer 4 is 1-3 μm.

[0051] The p-type GaN layer 7 can be Mg-doped, with a Mg doping concentration of 5 × 10⁻⁶. 17 -1×10 20 cm -3 The thickness of the P-type GaN layer 7 is 5-60 nm.
