Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and in particular to a multi-band light emitting diode epitaxial structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] LED light sources offer advantages such as compact size, long life, and high efficiency, capable of continuous operation for up to 100,000 hours. They have become the mainstream in the lighting industry. As the application of LED light sources continues to expand, higher requirements are placed on their luminous properties. Expanding the spectral range of LED light sources has become a major area of ​​improvement. Such products are known in the industry as full-spectrum white LED light sources. Full spectrum refers to a spectrum curve that includes ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light. Within the visible portion, the ratio of red, green, and blue is similar to sunlight, resulting in a color rendering index close to 100. The spectrum of sunlight can be called full spectrum.

[0003] White light LED devices currently on the market typically utilize fluorescent glue coated on a blue LED chip to produce white light. However, the spectral curve of such full-spectrum white light LED sources exhibits significant fluctuations in the blue wavelength band, resulting in poor stability. Furthermore, as early as 1966, Nell et al. discovered that exposure to blue light can damage retinal cells, leading to decreased vision and even loss. Short-wavelength blue light, with a wavelength between 400 and 450 nanometers, poses the greatest risk to the retina. At the 2010 International Association of Optics Annual Meeting, leading optical experts worldwide unanimously stated that short-wavelength blue light has extremely high energy and can penetrate the lens directly to the retina. Blue light exposure to the retina generates free radicals, which can cause the death of retinal pigment epithelial cells. This cell death deprives light-sensitive cells of nutrients, leading to irreversible vision impairment.

[0004] Therefore, the existing full-spectrum white light LED light sources still need to be optimized. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a multi-band light emitting diode epitaxial structure and a preparation method thereof, and a white light LED light source.

[0028] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a multi-band light-emitting diode epitaxial structure, comprising:

[0029] Providing a substrate; growing a buffer layer on the substrate; introducing a Si doping source to grow an N-type semiconductor layer on the buffer layer; growing a low-temperature stress release layer on the N-type semiconductor layer; growing a multi-quantum well light-emitting layer on the low-temperature stress release layer; growing an electron blocking layer on the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer; and growing a P-type semiconductor layer on the electron blocking layer.

[0030] The multi-quantum well light-emitting layer comprises a first long-wave cyan multi-quantum well layer, a second short-wave cyan multi-quantum well layer, a third long-wave blue multi-quantum well layer and a fourth short-wave blue multi-quantum well layer, which are stacked and grown in sequence from bottom to top.

[0031] The emission wavelengths of the first long-wave cyan multi-quantum well layer, the second short-wave cyan multi-quantum well layer, the third long-wave blue multi-quantum well layer, and the fourth short-wave blue multi-quantum well layer decrease in sequence;

[0033] Before periodically alternating the deposition and growth of the N-polarity pre-well insertion layer and the N-polarity post-well insertion layer, the surface of the epitaxial layer material needs to be subjected to a full NH3 annealing treatment. That is, before periodically alternating the deposition and growth of the N-polarity pre-well insertion layer and the N-polarity post-well insertion layer, NH3 gas needs to be introduced into the reaction chamber, and the reaction chamber needs to be kept in a full NH3 atmosphere for 10-180 seconds. A rough N-polarity surface will be formed on the surface of the epitaxial layer material after the full NH3 annealing treatment, which is conducive to the subsequent growth of the epitaxial material of the N-polarity pre-well insertion layer and the N-polarity post-well insertion layer. At the same time, the rough N-polarity surface can reduce the in-plane total reflection and absorption loss of photons in the quantum well, which is more conducive to light extraction and improves light extraction efficiency.

[0035] In some embodiments, the N-polarity pre-well insertion layer includes an N-polarity low In component InGaN layer, an N-polarity first graded AlGaN layer, and an N-polarity first graded InGaN layer, which are sequentially stacked from bottom to top; wherein the N-polarity low In component InGaN layer is a single layer or multilayer structure of a low In component N-polarity InGaN lowly doped with Si element; the N-polarity first graded AlGaN layer is an N-polarity AlGaN material with an increasing Al component from bottom to top, and the AlGaN material is not intentionally doped; the N-polarity first graded InGaN layer is an N-polarity InGaN material with an increasing In component from bottom to top, and the InGaN material is not intentionally doped,

[0036] The growth temperature of the N-polarity low In content InGaN layer is 750°C-928°C, and the pressure is 30torr-360torr; the growth temperature of the N-polarity first gradient AlGaN layer is 780°C-928°C, and the pressure is 30torr-360torr; the growth temperature of the N-polarity first gradient InGaN layer is 730°C-910°C, and the pressure is 30torr-360torr.

[0037] In some embodiments, the growth temperature of the Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer in the first long-wave cyan multi-quantum well layer is 725°C~928°C, and the pressure is 50torr-360torr; the growth temperature of the Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer in the second short-wave cyan multi-quantum well layer is 738°C~928°C, and the pressure is 50torr-360torr; the growth temperature of the Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer in the third long-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer is 750°C~928°C, and the pressure is 50torr-360torr; the growth temperature of the Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer in the fourth short-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer is 790°C~928°C, and the pressure is 50torr-360torr.

[0038] In some embodiments, the N-polarity post-well insertion layer includes an N-polarity second graded InGaN layer, an N-polarity second graded AlGaN layer, and an N-polarity non-doped GaN layer, which are sequentially stacked and grown from bottom to top; wherein the N-polarity second graded InGaN layer is an N-polarity InGaN material with a decreasing In component from bottom to top, and the InGaN material is not intentionally doped; the N-polarity second graded AlGaN layer is an N-polarity AlGaN material with a decreasing Al component from bottom to top, and the AlGaN material is not intentionally doped; the N-polarity non-doped GaN layer is an N-polarity GaN single layer or multilayer structure that is not intentionally doped;

[0039] The growth temperature of the N-polarity second graded InGaN layer is 730°C-910°C, and the pressure is 30torr-360torr; the growth temperature of the N-polarity second graded AlGaN layer is 780°C-928°C, and the pressure is 30torr-360torr; the growth temperature of the N-polarity non-doped GaN layer is 800°C~928°C, and the pressure is 30torr-360torr.

[0040] In some embodiments, the growth temperature of the Ga polar luminescent quantum barrier layer is 819° C.-936° C., and the pressure is 30 torr-360 torr.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0042] (1) The multi-band light emitting diode epitaxial structure of the present invention has an excitation light source with four bands, which can be used to excite the red and green mixed phosphor layer to produce a full-spectrum white light LED light source. The proportion of short-wave blue light is small, which causes little damage to the retinal cells of the human eye. The full-spectrum white light produced is closer to the sunlight spectrum, thereby realizing a healthy full-spectrum white light LED light source with a high color rendering index.

[0043] (2) The four sub-emission wavelengths of the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer of the light-emitting diode of the present invention decrease in sequence; the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer is usually prepared by low-temperature deposition and growth at 650-935°C. The quality of the deposited epitaxial film material will become worse and worse as the thickness of the deposited epitaxial film increases. The longer the light-emitting wavelength, the higher the In component of the InGaN material of the quantum well, and the greater the mismatch stress caused by the well-barrier mismatch, and the more defects are generated. InGaN materials with high In components have lower growth temperatures, and the defects of the grown epitaxial film increase. Therefore, the growth order of the multi-band multi-quantum well light-emitting layer is designed to preferably deposit and grow long-wave quantum wells first and then deposit and grow short-wave quantum wells. By adopting the structural design of the present invention, it is easier to obtain high-quality multi-band multi-quantum well light-emitting layer materials, thereby improving the radiation recombination efficiency of the active region and further improving the light efficiency of the multi-band LED chip.

[0044] (3) In the epitaxial structure of the light-emitting diode of the present invention, the multi-quantum well layer of the four wavelength bands has four sub-layers that grow alternately and periodically from bottom to top. The arrangement of these four sub-layers utilizes the opposite directions of the polarization electric fields of Ga polar nitride and N polar nitride, which can significantly improve the band bending phenomenon caused by the polarization electric field in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, thereby improving the coupling between the electron and hole wave functions in the quantum well, thereby improving the radiation recombination efficiency in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer and ultimately improving the luminous efficiency of the multi-band LED chip.

[0045] (4) The design of the gradient AlGaN layer and gradient InGaN layer in the epitaxial structure of the present invention is such that the AlGaN material with high barrier and high Al content is used near the InGaN material. This design can improve the energy band barrier difference between the low barrier material InGaN material and the high barrier material AlGaN material in the light-emitting quantum well layer, significantly improve the carrier binding ability of the quantum well, reduce the electron overflow phenomenon in the active region, effectively improve the radiation recombination efficiency in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, and ultimately achieve the improvement of the yield and brightness of the multi-band LED chip; at the same time, the AlGaN material with relatively low barrier and low Al content is used away from the InGaN material, and further, the Al content of the AlGaN material is N-polarity. The second gradient AlGaN layer is less than or equal to the first gradient AlGaN layer with N polarity. This design can effectively reduce the blocking effect of the high barrier material AlGaN material on the hole injection of the P-type semiconductor layer, increase the hole concentration injected into the active region from the P-type semiconductor layer, thereby effectively improving the radiation recombination efficiency in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, and thus improving the light efficiency of the multi-band LED chip.

[0046] (5) The epitaxial structure of the light-emitting diode of the present invention is subjected to full NH3 annealing treatment on the surface of the epitaxial layer material before the periodic alternating growth of the N-polarity well front insertion layer and the N-polarity well rear insertion layer. The surface of the epitaxial layer material after the full NH3 annealing treatment will form a rough N-polarity surface, which is conducive to the subsequent growth of the epitaxial material of the N-polarity well front insertion layer and the N-polarity well rear insertion layer. At the same time, the rough N-polarity surface can reduce the in-plane total reflection and absorption loss of photons in the quantum well, which is more conducive to light extraction and improves the light extraction efficiency, thereby improving the light efficiency of the multi-band LED chip.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 A multi-band light-emitting diode epitaxial structure includes, from bottom to top: a substrate 100, a buffer layer 200, an N-type semiconductor layer 300, a low-temperature stress release layer 400, a multi-quantum well light-emitting layer 500, an electron blocking layer 600, and a P-type semiconductor layer 700.

[0051] In this structure, the substrate 100, buffer layer 200, N-type semiconductor layer 300, low-temperature stress relief layer 400, electron blocking layer 600, and P-type semiconductor layer 700 can be arranged according to the existing common white light LED chip epitaxial structure. For example, substrate 100 can be a sapphire substrate, which is currently the most commonly used substrate material. Sapphire substrates have the advantages of mature manufacturing processes, low price, easy cleaning and processing, and good stability at high temperatures. The buffer layer 200 can be a GaN buffer layer, an AlN buffer layer, or a SiN buffer layer. Its main function is to alleviate the lattice mismatch and thermal mismatch between the substrate and the epitaxial layer, thereby improving the crystal quality of the epitaxial layer and enhancing the performance and reliability of the chip. The N-type semiconductor layer 300 is typically a Si-doped N-type GaN layer. The low-temperature stress relief layer 400 can be a low-temperature GaN layer, a low-temperature InGaN layer, etc., to alleviate stress generated during the chip manufacturing process. The electron blocking layer 600 can be an AlGaN layer, an AlInGaN layer, etc., and the P-type semiconductor layer 700 is typically a Mg-doped GaN layer.

[0052] It should be noted that the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer 500 includes four sublayers stacked sequentially from bottom to top: a first long-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 510, a second short-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 520, a third long-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 530, and a fourth short-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 540. The wavelength of light emitted from the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer 500 is greater in the first long-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 510 than in the second short-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 520, greater than in the third long-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 530, and greater than in the fourth short-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 540.

[0053] A full-spectrum white light LED light source is produced by stimulating the red and green mixed phosphor layer with four bands of excitation light. Compared with the blue light LED chip with only one band, the short-wave blue light below 450nm accounts for a small proportion and causes less damage to the human retinal cells. The full-spectrum white light produced is closer to the sunlight spectrum, thus realizing a healthy full-spectrum white light LED light source with a high color rendering index. Moreover, the luminous wavelength of each band decreases successively. The multi-quantum well luminescent layer is usually prepared by low-temperature deposition and growth at 650℃-935℃. The quality of the deposited epitaxial thin film material will become worse and worse with the increase of the thickness of the deposited epitaxial film, such as the crystallization quality and surface flatness. The quantum well with a longer luminous wavelength has a relatively higher In component of the InGaN material, and the defects caused by the mismatch stress caused by the well-barrier mismatch increase. The InGaN material with a high In component has a lower growth temperature, and the defects of the grown epitaxial film increase. Therefore, the growth order of the multi-band multi-quantum well luminescent layer is designed to preferably deposit and grow long-wave quantum wells first and then deposit and grow short-wave quantum wells. The structural design of the present invention makes it easier to obtain high-quality multi-band multi-quantum well luminescent layer materials, thereby improving the radiation recombination efficiency of the active area and further improving the light efficiency of the multi-band LED chip.

[0054] The first long-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 510, the second short-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 520, the third long-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 530, and the fourth short-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 540 all have four sublayers that are periodically grown and alternating from bottom to top: an N-polarity pre-well insertion layer, a Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer, an N-polarity post-well insertion layer, and a Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum barrier layer. The four sublayers of the first long-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 510 are a first N-polarity pre-well insertion layer 511, a first Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer 512, a first N-polarity post-well insertion layer 513, and a first Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum barrier layer 514. The four sublayers of the second short-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 520 are a second N-polarity pre-well insertion layer 521, a second Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer 522, a second N-polarity post-well insertion layer 523, and a second Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum barrier layer 524. The four sublayers of the third long-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 530 are a third N-polarity pre-well insertion layer 531, a third Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer 532, a third N-polarity post-well insertion layer 533, and a third Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum barrier layer 534. The four sublayers of the fourth short-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 540 are a fourth N-polarity pre-well insertion layer 541, a fourth Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer 542, a fourth N-polarity post-well insertion layer 543, and a fourth Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum barrier layer 544.

[0055] In this way, the sub-layer arrangement of the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer utilizes the opposite directions of the polarization electric fields of Ga polar nitride and N polar nitride, which can significantly improve the band bending phenomenon caused by the polarization electric field in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, thereby improving the coupling between the electron and hole wave functions in the quantum well, so as to improve the radiation recombination efficiency in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer and ultimately improve the luminous efficiency of the multi-band LED chip.

[0056] Therefore, the multi-band light-emitting diode epitaxial structure of the present invention, by designing a multi-band multi-quantum well light-emitting layer and combining the design of the sub-layers of each multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, can improve the overall excitation efficiency through the synergistic effect of the excitation light of each band, output full-spectrum white light, which is closer to sunlight, has high luminous efficiency, good color rendering, better stability, and less damage to the human eye.

[0057] In the present invention, the four sublayers of the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer 500: the first long-wave cyan light multi-quantum well layer 510, the second short-wave cyan light multi-quantum well layer 520, the third long-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer 530, and the fourth short-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer 540, have decreasing emission wavelengths. That is, if the emission wavelength of the first long-wave cyan light multi-quantum well layer 510 is λ1, the emission wavelength of the second short-wave cyan light multi-quantum well layer 520 is λ2, the emission wavelength of the third long-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer 530 is λ3, and the emission wavelength of the fourth short-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer 540 is λ4, then λ1>λ2>λ3>λ4.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first long-wave cyan multi-quantum well layer 510 emits light at a wavelength ranging from 490 nm to 500 nm, the second short-wave cyan multi-quantum well layer 520 emits light at a wavelength ranging from 480 nm to 490 nm, the third long-wave blue multi-quantum well layer 530 emits light at a wavelength ranging from 445 nm to 480 nm, and the fourth short-wave blue multi-quantum well layer 540 emits light at a wavelength ranging from 430 nm to 445 nm. By regulating the emission wavelengths of each multi-quantum well layer in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer 500, the generated full-spectrum white light can be closer to the sunlight spectrum, thereby realizing a healthy full-spectrum white light LED light source with a high color rendering index.

[0059] Exemplarily, the light emission wavelength λ1 of the first long-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 510 is 490 nm, 492 nm, 495 nm, 498 nm or 500 nm, but is not limited thereto.

[0062] Exemplarily, the fourth short-wave blue multi-quantum well layer 540 emits an emission wavelength λ4 of 430 nm, 432 nm, 435 nm, 438 nm, 440 nm, 442 nm or 445 nm, but is not limited thereto.

[0063] It can be understood that there is an overlapping area in the emission wavelength value ranges corresponding to the above-mentioned multi-quantum well layers. During preparation, it is only necessary to ensure that the emission wavelengths between the four multi-quantum well layers, namely the first long-wave cyan light multi-quantum well layer 510, the second short-wave cyan light multi-quantum well layer 520, the third long-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer 530, and the fourth short-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer 540, decrease in sequence, that is, λ1>λ2>λ3>λ4.

In summary, the first long-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 510, the second short-wavelength cyan multi-quantum well layer 520, the third long-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 530, and the fourth short-wavelength blue multi-quantum well layer 540 all have four sublayers that are periodically alternatingly grown from bottom to top: an N-polarity pre-well insertion layer, a Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum well layer, an N-polarity post-well insertion layer, and a Ga-polarity light-emitting quantum barrier layer.

[0069] It should be noted that the above is only an exemplary description of the alternating growth cycle of the four sub-layers in the first long-wave cyan light multi-quantum well layer 510, the second short-wave cyan light multi-quantum well layer 520, the third long-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer 530, and the fourth short-wave blue light multi-quantum well layer 540, but is not limited to this.

[0070] In some embodiments, the N-polarity pre-well insertion layer, i.e., the first N-polarity pre-well insertion layer 511, the second N-polarity pre-well insertion layer 521, the third N-polarity pre-well insertion layer 531, and the fourth N-polarity pre-well insertion layer 541, all include an N-polarity low In composition InGaN layer, an N-polarity first graded AlGaN layer, and an N-polarity first graded InGaN layer, which are sequentially stacked from bottom to top, wherein the N-polarity low In composition InGaN layer is a single-layer or multi-layer structure of a low In composition N-polarity InGaN lowly doped with Si element; the N-polarity first graded AlGaN layer is an N-polarity AlGaN material with increasing Al composition from bottom to top, and the AlGaN material is not intentionally doped; the N-polarity first graded InGaN layer is an N-polarity InGaN material with increasing In composition from bottom to top, and the InGaN material is not intentionally doped.

[0074] In this way, AlGaN materials with high potential barriers and high Al components are used near the InGaN materials. This design can improve the band barrier difference between the low-barrier material InGaN material and the high-barrier material AlGaN material in the light-emitting quantum well layer area, significantly improve the quantum well's ability to bind carriers, reduce the electron overflow phenomenon in the active area, effectively improve the radiation recombination efficiency in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer, and ultimately achieve the improvement of the yield and brightness of the multi-band LED chip; at the same time, AlGaN materials with relatively low potential barriers and low Al components are used away from the InGaN materials. This design can effectively reduce the blocking effect of the high-barrier material AlGaN material on the hole injection of the P-type semiconductor layer, increase the hole concentration injected from the P-type semiconductor layer 700 to the active area, thereby effectively improving the radiation recombination efficiency in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer 500, and improving the luminous efficiency of the multi-band LED chip.

[0075] In some preferred embodiments, the Al component content of the N-polarity first graded AlGaN layer is greater than or equal to the Al component content of the N-polarity second graded AlGaN layer, which is more conducive to reducing the blocking effect of the high barrier material AlGaN on hole injection into the P-type semiconductor layer.
