Abstract
Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及LED外延设计技术领域,特别地,涉及一种含有超晶格势垒层的LED结构外延生长方法及其结构。The invention relates to the technical field of LED epitaxial design, in particular to an epitaxial growth method and structure of an LED structure containing a superlattice barrier layer.
背景技术Background technique
目前国内MOCVD厂家在生长LED外延层时,传统的结构都包含N层、发光层、P层,N层采用SiH4作为掺杂剂,P层采取Cp2Mg作为掺杂剂,发光层是由InGaN/GaN超晶格材料组成,这三大部分的阻抗分别是:R发光层>RP层>RN层。由于发光层InGaN、GaN材料都是不添加掺杂剂的,并且总厚度一般为200-300nm,所以这一层的阻抗相对掺杂N、P层阻值高。At present, when domestic MOCVD manufacturers grow LED epitaxial layers, the traditional structure includes N layer, light emitting layer, and P layer. The N layer uses SiH 4 as the dopant, and the P layer uses Cp 2 Mg as the dopant. The light emitting layer is made of Composed of InGaN/GaN superlattice materials, the impedances of these three parts are: R light-emitting layer >R P layer >R N layer . Since the InGaN and GaN materials of the light-emitting layer do not add dopants, and the total thickness is generally 200-300nm, the resistance of this layer is higher than that of the doped N and P layers.
而LED器件是采用横流驱动的,发光层阻抗高带来的负面影响是LED驱动电压升高。如果将发光层变成N型或P型,发光层的阻抗可以下降,但是会影响发光层中的电子和空穴复合效率,并且发光层掺杂浓度过高将导致器件不能工作。为了降低发光层的阻抗,目前比较传统的做法是降低发光层的厚度,但损失了器件的发光效率;或者将发光层一段掺杂Si或者Mg,降低阻抗,负面影响是电子和空穴的复合效率不高。The LED device is driven by cross-current, and the negative effect brought by the high impedance of the light-emitting layer is the increase of the LED driving voltage. If the light-emitting layer is changed to N-type or P-type, the impedance of the light-emitting layer can be reduced, but it will affect the recombination efficiency of electrons and holes in the light-emitting layer, and the high doping concentration of the light-emitting layer will cause the device to fail to work. In order to reduce the impedance of the light-emitting layer, the traditional method is to reduce the thickness of the light-emitting layer, but the luminous efficiency of the device is lost; or a part of the light-emitting layer is doped with Si or Mg to reduce the impedance. The negative effect is the recombination of electrons and holes. low efficiency.
