[0014] The implementation of this invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) This invention provides a blue-green dual-band light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer, wherein the multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer in the epitaxial wafer includes a first blue InGaN layer, a first blue barrier layer, a first green barrier layer, a first green InGaN layer, a second green barrier layer, a second blue InGaN layer, and a second blue barrier layer, which are periodically and alternately grown along the epitaxial direction.

[0015] (2) The first green barrier layer includes a low-level barrier layer in front of the well, a high-level barrier layer in front of the well, and a polarization compensation barrier layer in front of the well, which are grown sequentially along the epitaxial direction; the second green barrier layer includes a polarization compensation barrier layer behind the well, a high-level barrier layer behind the well, and a low-level barrier layer behind the well, which are grown sequentially along the epitaxial direction; wherein, heat treatment in H2 atmosphere is required before depositing the high-level barrier layer in front of the well and before depositing the high-level barrier layer behind the well. After this treatment, the surface of the epitaxial layer material will form a rough material surface, on which atomic deposition can be performed. The surface of the epitaxial layer material is filled, which can reduce the interface of the first green InGaN layer to be smoother and reduce the defect density. It can bind the charge carriers in the first green InGaN layer to generate radiative recombination luminescence, improve the luminescence efficiency, and effectively prevent electron leakage caused by electron overflow.

[0016] (3) The setting of the pre-well polarization compensation barrier layer and the post-well polarization compensation barrier layer allows the energy band to be affected by the spontaneous polarization electric field and the piezoelectric polarization electric field. The spontaneous polarization electric field is opposite in direction to the applied electric field, and the influence of the spontaneous polarization electric field of the first green InGaN layer can be offset by increasing the applied electric field. Furthermore, the intensity of the piezoelectric polarization electric field of the first green InGaN layer can be controlled, so that the difference in polarization electric field intensity of the first blue InGaN layer, the first green InGaN layer, and the second blue InGaN layer is reduced, and the wavelength shift amplitude is more consistent under different current densities, which effectively improves the stability of the intensity ratio of light in each band and improves the luminous efficiency.

Since the energy band of the first green InGaN layer is affected by the spontaneous polarization electric field and the piezoelectric polarization electric field, and the spontaneous polarization electric field is opposite in direction to the applied electric field, the influence of the spontaneous polarization electric field of the first green InGaN layer can be offset by increasing the applied electric field. However, the piezoelectric polarization electric field is in the same direction as the applied electric field and cannot be offset by the applied electric field. Therefore, by selecting AlGaInN material and controlling its Al composition, In composition, and growth thickness, the piezoelectric polarization electric field intensity of the first green InGaN layer can be controlled. This reduces the difference in polarization electric field intensity among the first blue InGaN layer, the first blue barrier layer, the first green barrier layer, the first green InGaN layer, the second green barrier layer, the second blue InGaN layer, and the second blue barrier layer. Consequently, the wavelength shift amplitude is more consistent under different current densities, effectively improving the stability of the intensity ratio of light in each band and increasing the luminous efficiency.

[0038] Before the high-energy barrier layer 532 in front of the deposit trap and before the high-energy barrier layer 552 behind the trap, H2 atmosphere heat treatment is required. This will decompose the defects such as poor crystal quality material and high-In content In clusters on the surface of the epitaxial wafer, which is beneficial to improve the crystal quality of the material. At the same time, the rough surface of the barrier material can reduce the in-plane total internal reflection and light absorption loss of photons in the semiconductor material, and improve the light extraction efficiency.

[0039] More preferably, after depositing the pre-well low-energy barrier layer 531 and before depositing the pre-well high-energy barrier layer 532, the heat treatment in H2 atmosphere is performed for a treatment time of t1 and a treatment temperature of W1; after depositing the post-well polarization compensation barrier layer 551 and before depositing the post-well high-energy barrier layer 552, the heat treatment in H2 atmosphere is performed for a treatment time of t2 and a treatment temperature of W2; wherein, t1>t2, W1>W2.

[0040] First, the longer heat treatment time and higher heat treatment temperature of the 531 low-barrier layer in front of the well allow for more thorough decomposition of high-In cluster defects on the surface in the region in front of the well, resulting in a smoother interface. This reduces non-radiative recombination centers, ensuring efficient injection of electron-hole pairs into the first green InGaN layer and improving the internal quantum efficiency in the green light band.

[0041] Secondly, the pre-well region is treated at a higher temperature and for a longer time to avoid In composition segregation caused by excessive annealing of the post-well polarization compensation barrier layer 551, maintain the polarization electric field compensation effect, and prevent carrier leakage.

[0042] In traditional dual-band LEDs, the green light efficiency is often lower than that of the blue light. Strong pre-well thermal processing improves the crystal quality of the first green InGaN layer 540, bringing the green light efficiency close to that of a single green LED chip. Meanwhile, gentle post-well processing ensures the stability of the second blue InGaN layer 560, achieving balanced blue-green dual-peak luminescence.

[0043] Preferably, the second blue InGaN layer 560 is a single-layer or multi-layer structure made of undoped InGaN material, with an In content of X3, 0.05 ≤ X3 ≤ 0.19, a growth thickness of H3, H3 being 2.1 nm to 4.9 nm, a growth temperature of 720 °C to 880 °C, and a growth pressure of 30 torr to 360 torr. Exemplary values ​​of X3 include 0.05, 0.07, 0.09, 0.12, 0.15, 0.17, and 0.19, but are not limited thereto. Exemplary values ​​of H3 include 2.1 nm, 2.5 nm, 2.7 nm, 3.3 nm, 3.5 nm, 3.8 nm, 4.1 nm, 4.3 nm, 4.5 nm, and 4.9 nm, but are not limited thereto. Examples of growth temperatures include 720℃, 730℃, 770℃, 790℃, 810℃, 830℃, 860℃, and 880℃, but are not limited to these. Examples of growth pressures include 30 torr, 50 torr, 70 torr, 100 torr, 150 torr, 200 torr, 210 torr, 260 torr, 290 torr, 310 torr, 350 torr, and 360 torr, but are not limited to these.

[0044] Preferably, the second blue light barrier layer 570 is a single-layer or multi-layer structure, comprising a second GaN layer and / or a second AlGaN layer, with a growth thickness of 5.8 nm to 15.3 nm, a growth temperature of 720 °C to 980 °C, and a growth pressure of 30 torr to 360 torr. Exemplary growth thicknesses include 5.8 nm, 6.3 nm, 7.7 nm, 8.1 nm, 8.6 nm, 9.8 nm, 10.3 nm, 10.5 nm, 11.5 nm, 13.6 nm, 14.8 nm, and 15.3 nm, but are not limited thereto. Exemplary growth temperatures include 720 °C, 730 °C, 770 °C, 790 °C, 810 °C, 830 °C, 860 °C, 880 °C, and 980 °C, but are not limited thereto. Examples of growth stresses include 30 torr, 50 torr, 70 torr, 100 torr, 150 torr, 200 torr, 210 torr, 260 torr, 290 torr, 310 torr, 350 torr, and 360 torr, but are not limited to these.

[0045] The second GaN layer is doped with Si, and the Si doping concentration is 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 17 / cm³~9.6×10 17 / cm³. An exemplary Si doping concentration is 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 17 / cm³, 2.7×10 17 / cm³, 3.8×10 17 / cm³, 4.3×10 17 / cm³, 5.9×10 17 / cm³, 6.7×10 17 / cm³, 8.1×10 17 / cm³, 8.5×10 17 / cm³, 9.3×10 17 / cm³, 9.6×10 17 / cm³, but not limited to this.

[0046] The Al component content of the second AlGaN layer is Y2, where Y2 ≤ 0.35. Examples of Y2 values ​​are 0.11, 0.15, 0.27, 0.31, 0.32, and 0.35, but it is not limited to these.

[0047] More preferably, the In content relationship of the first blue InGaN layer 510, the first green InGaN layer 540, and the second blue InGaN layer 560 is X2>X1=X3. The In content of each InGaN layer in the multi-quantum-well emitting layer forms a gradient design that first increases and then decreases. The above structural and process design can effectively reduce the lattice mismatch stress between the InGaN layer and the barrier layer material. The reduction of defects caused by the lattice mismatch stress can significantly improve the quality of the multi-quantum-well emitting layer, which is beneficial to improving the radiative recombination efficiency of the active region, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and production yield of the epitaxial wafer. At the same time, the reduction of the lattice mismatch stress between the quantum well InGaN material and the barrier layer material can reduce the band bending phenomenon caused by the piezoelectric polarization effect of the quantum well InGaN material, thereby improving the coupling degree between the electron and hole wave functions in the quantum well InGaN material, so as to improve the radiative recombination efficiency in the multi-quantum-well emitting layer and ultimately improve the luminous efficiency of the epitaxial wafer.

[0048] Existing multi-quantum-well (MFU) light-emitting layers employ an InGaN-GaN structure. The lattice mismatch between these two structures often leads to the formation of polarization electric fields, with varying intensities for MFU layers of different In compositions. When driven by different currents, these polarization electric fields result in varying band tilts, causing changes in the intensity ratio of blue and green light wavelengths and resulting in unstable emission wavelengths. Similarly, different polarization electric fields also cause varying degrees of carrier leakage, leading to different levels of efficiency degradation across different emission bands, which also contributes to wavelength instability.

[0049] Optimally, the growth thicknesses of the first blue InGaN layer 510, the second green InGaN layer 540, and the third blue InGaN layer 560 are related as H2.

The first green light barrier layer 530 includes a low-level barrier layer 531, a high-level barrier layer 532, and a polarization compensation barrier layer 533 that grow sequentially along the epitaxial direction. The second green light barrier layer 550 includes a back-well polarization compensation barrier layer 551, a back-well high-level barrier layer 552, and a back-well low-level barrier layer 553 that are grown sequentially along the epitaxial direction. Specifically, H2 atmosphere heat treatment is required before depositing the pre-well high-energy barrier layer 532 and before depositing the post-well high-energy barrier layer 552.

[0051] Preferably, the growth cycle number of the multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer 500 is 2 to 7; The first blue InGaN layer 510 emits light at a wavelength of 391nm~487nm; The emission wavelength of the second green InGaN layer 540 is 511nm~565nm; The emission wavelength of the third blue InGaN layer 560 is 391nm~487nm.

[0063] Comparative Example 3 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is as follows: No H2 atmosphere heat treatment is performed before the deposition of the pre-well high-level barrier layer and before the deposition of the post-well high-level barrier layer.

[0064] The epitaxial wafers obtained in the examples and comparative examples were fabricated into 20μm×20μm LED chips, and subjected to 20A / cm 2The chip's luminous efficacy improvement, WD STD (nm) and epitaxial wafer XRD test results were obtained under the working current density. The luminous efficacy improvement was calculated based on Comparative Example 1.

[0065] It should be noted that arcsec(002) data can characterize screw dislocations, while arcsec(102) data can characterize mixed dislocations of screw and edge dislocations. The smaller the value of arcsec(002) or arcsec(102), the lower the dislocation density and the better the crystal quality. WD STD mainly reflects the wavelength standard deviation. The smaller the standard deviation, the more concentrated the chip parameter distribution and the more stable the manufacturing process.

[0066] It should be noted that the color rendering index (CRI) is a metric established by the International Commission on Illumination (ICI) to evaluate the color rendering performance of light sources. It measures the ability of a light source to reproduce the colors of objects. Its core principle is to quantify color rendering performance by comparing the color difference between the tested light source and a standard color sample under a reference light source.

[0067] Evaluation criteria: Ra≥80: Good color rendering, meeting general lighting needs; Ra≥95: Excellent color rendering, close to the effect of natural light; Ra<70: Poor color rendering, which may lead to color distortion.

[0068] The fidelity index is a light source color quality evaluation index proposed by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America in the TM-30-15 standard. It is specifically used to evaluate how well a light source reproduces the true colors of an object.

[0069] Evaluation criteria: Rf≥80: Good fidelity; Rf≥95: Excellent fidelity; Rf<70: Insufficient fidelity, obvious color distortion.

[0070] The test results are as follows:

[0071] As can be seen from the above test results, the present invention provides a blue-green dual-band light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer. The multi-quantum-well light-emitting layer in the epitaxial wafer includes a first blue InGaN layer, a first blue barrier layer, a first green barrier layer, a first green InGaN layer, a second green barrier layer, a second blue InGaN layer, and a second blue barrier layer, grown sequentially and alternately along the epitaxial direction. That is, the light-emitting diode prepared from this epitaxial wafer can excite a light source in both a blue and a green light band, thereby reducing the cost of RGB-LED backlight sources and reducing the amount of phosphor used in white LED backlight sources.

[0072] Secondly, a first green barrier layer and a second green barrier layer are set on both sides of the first green InGaN layer. The first green barrier layer includes a low-level barrier layer in front of the well, a high-level barrier layer in front of the well, and a polarization compensation barrier layer in front of the well, which are grown sequentially along the epitaxial direction. The second green barrier layer includes a polarization compensation barrier layer in back of the well, a high-level barrier layer in back of the well, and a low-level barrier layer in back of the well, which are grown sequentially along the epitaxial direction. Before depositing the high-level barrier layer in front of the well and the high-level barrier layer in back of the well, H2 atmosphere heat treatment is performed. This decomposes the defects such as poor crystal quality materials and high-In-content In clusters on the surface of the epitaxial wafer, which is beneficial to improving the crystal quality of the material. At the same time, the rough surface of the barrier layer material is formed, which can reduce the in-plane total internal reflection and light absorption loss of photons in the semiconductor material and improve the light extraction efficiency.

[0073] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
