[0037] like Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the multi-spectrum light emitting well layer 400 will be described in detail below.

[0038] In some embodiments, the emission wavelength range of the first light-emitting well layer 410 is 462nm to 480nm; the emission wavelength range of the second light-emitting well layer 420 is 445nm to 461nm; the emission wavelength range of the third light-emitting well layer 430 is 428nm to 444nm.

The In composition of the quantum well layers of the three groups of light-emitting well layers along the growth direction gradually changes from large to small. By regulating the In composition, the distribution of the central wavelengths of the three groups of light-emitting well layers is controlled.

[0041] In some embodiments, a>b>c. Preferably, 0.15≤a≤0.25, 0.1≤b≤0.2, 0.05≤c≤0.15. More preferably, 0.15≤a≤0.25, 0.1≤b≤0.14, 0.05≤c≤0.09. The present invention inserts an interface treatment layer AlGaN layer between the quantum well and the quantum barrier, wherein Al atoms can fill the deep energy level defects caused by the excessive In component, thereby improving the product yield.

[0042] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first GaN quantum barrier layer 413 is greater than the thickness of the second GaN quantum barrier layer 423 and greater than the thickness of the third GaN quantum barrier layer 433. The thickness of the GaN quantum barrier layers of the three groups of light-emitting well layers gradually changes from high to low along the growth direction. By regulating the thickness of the barrier, a thick barrier is grown in the quantum well region with a larger In component, which can improve the problem of poor crystal quality caused by In segregation and improve product yield.

[0084] The full-spectrum LED epitaxial wafers prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1 were used to prepare LED chips using the same chip process conditions, specifically including: making a 2235 model core particle, encapsulating it in a 3528 bracket, and then coating it with a mixed phosphor composed of three color phosphors of blue, green, and red. Electrical tests were performed under a 2235 chip process @120mA test current, and the specific test results are shown in Table 1.

[0087] The luminous efficiency of the package made of the epitaxial wafer proposed by the present invention is improved by about 2%, the color rendering index is improved by about 1% to 2%, and the product yield is also improved. The present invention has a longer luminous wavelength in the luminescent well layer close to the N-type GaN layer, and a shorter luminescent wavelength in the luminescent well layer close to the P-type GaN layer. The ground state energy level gradually changes from low to high from the long-wave luminescent well to the short-wave luminescent well, and the carriers will preferentially fill the low ground state energy level interval close to the N side, fully improving the distribution uniformity of the carriers from the N side to the P side luminescent well, while improving the effective radiation recombination efficiency of the long-wave band, making the peak intensity of the three-band spectrum closer, improving the excitation efficiency of the mixed phosphor, and then improving the color rendering index of the full-spectrum chip.
