Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optoelectronic technology, and in particular to a Micro LED epitaxial wafer and a preparation method thereof, and a Micro LED chip. Background Art
[0002] The development of Micro LED faces challenges in manufacturing technology and materials. For example, as the chip size decreases, the peak EQE of the device decreases and the corresponding current density increases. The efficiency of Micro LED with an operating current density of 0.01A / cm²~0.5A / cm² is still obviously insufficient. In fact, even conventional-sized chips for general lighting and backlight display applications have relatively low efficiency at this current density. The reason is that in order to balance efficiency and cost factors, the operating current density of conventional-sized chips is 20A / cm². 2 Up to 40A / cm 2 The goal of the corresponding epitaxial structure design and material growth is to improve the efficiency under high current density, and its peak EQE is usually in the current density range of 1A / cm²~4A / cm², without paying attention to the device efficiency under low current density. Under different current densities, the dominant reasons for the light-emitting mechanism of LED devices are different, and the corresponding epitaxial layer structure should also change. For example, at the low current density of 0.01A / cm²~0.5A / cm² in the Micro LED working range, the carrier concentration in the quantum well is relatively low, the proportion of Auger recombination is small, and the corresponding quantum well recombination volume can be reduced, which can reduce the number of quantum wells and the number of defects, and improve the EQE of the device under low current density; at the same time, electron leakage has not occurred or the proportion is very low under low current density, and the electron blocking layer structure not only has no effect of blocking electrons, but will block the injection of holes, reducing the quantum efficiency of the device. Therefore, in-depth mechanism research, design and growth of LED epitaxial layer structure under low current density working conditions of Micro LED is a necessary key technology for the research and development of high-efficiency Micro LED devices driven by low working current density.
