The invention discloses a method for preparing a high-performance InGaN / AlGaN MQW ultraviolet LED. Blue ammonia, high-purity trimethylindium and high-purity trimethyl gallium serve as an N source, an In source and a Ga source respectively, and SiH4 and Cp2Mg serve as an n type doping agent and a p type doping agent respectively. The method comprises the following steps that firstly, a sapphire substrate or a SiC substrate or a Si substrate is nitrided; secondly, a buffering layer is grown and crystallized, and then a uGaN nucleating layer is grown; thirdly, a low Si-doped n-GaN layer is grown first, and then a high Si-doped n+GaN layer is grown; fourthly, an n-AlGaN layer is grown; fifthly, a Si-doped n+GaN layer is grown, and then an nGaN layer without Si is grown; sixthly, three cycles of InGaN / GaN superlattices without Al are grown, and then eight cycles of Al-doped InGaN / GaN is grown; seventhly, a PAlGaN layer is grown; eighthly, a Mg-doped P+GaN layer is grown; ninthly, a high Mg-doped P++GaN layer is grown. According to the method, InGaN / AlGaN MQW ultraviolet LED epitaxy pieces of the specific structure are grown with an LP MOCVD system, the preparing cost is low, time is saved, the prepared ultraviolet LED is good in performance, and the ultraviolet LED epitaxy industrialization is promoted.
