Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices, in particular to a semiconductor light-emitting element with a hot-cold state proportion control layer. BACKGROUND

[0002] Semiconductor elements, especially semiconductor light-emitting elements, have a wide range of adjustable wavelengths, high light-emitting efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection, long service life of more than 100,000 hours, small size, multiple application scenarios, strong designability, and other factors. They have gradually replaced incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps, becoming the light source for ordinary home lighting, and are widely used in new scenarios such as indoor high-resolution display screens, outdoor display screens, Mini-LED, Micro-LED, mobile phone and television backlights, backlight illumination, street lamps, car headlights, car daytime running lights, car interior atmosphere lights, flashlights, etc.

[0003] Traditional nitride semiconductors are grown using sapphire substrates, which have large lattice and thermal mismatches, resulting in high defect density and polarization effects, reducing the light-emitting efficiency of semiconductor light-emitting elements. At the same time, the hole ionization efficiency of traditional nitride semiconductors is much lower than the electron ionization efficiency, resulting in a hole concentration more than one order of magnitude lower than the electron concentration. Excess electrons will overflow from the multi-quantum well to the second conductive type semiconductor to produce non-radiative recombination. Low hole ionization efficiency makes it difficult for holes to be effectively injected into the multi-quantum well, resulting in low efficiency of hole injection into the multi-quantum well, which reduces the light-emitting efficiency of the multi-quantum well. The nitride semiconductor structure has non-central symmetry, which produces strong spontaneous polarization along the c-axis direction. The piezoelectric polarization effect of the lattice mismatch forms an intrinsic polarization field. This intrinsic polarization field along the (001) direction causes strong quantum confinement Stark effect in the multi-quantum well layer, causing energy band tilting and spatial separation of electron and hole wave functions, reducing the radiation recombination efficiency of electrons and holes. The refractive index, dielectric constant, and other parameters of the semiconductor light-emitting element are greater than those of air, resulting in a smaller total reflection angle when the light emitted by the quantum well exits, and a lower light extraction efficiency.
