Description

高调制发光二极管及其制备方法High modulation light emitting diode and its preparation method

【技术领域】【Technical field】

本发明涉及可见光通信技术领域,具体涉及一种高调制发光二极管及其制备方法。The invention relates to the technical field of visible light communication, in particular to a highly modulated light-emitting diode and a preparation method thereof.

【背景技术】【Background technique】

近年来,被誉为“绿色照明”的发光二极管(Light Emitting Diode,LED)照明技术发展迅猛。与传统照明光源相比,白光发光二极管不仅功耗低,使用寿命长,尺寸小,绿色环保,更具有调制性能好,响应灵敏度高等优点。白光发光二极管一方面具有发射功率高、对人眼安全等特点;另一方面,具有反应速度快、调制性好,无电磁干扰、无需申请无线电频谱等优点。因此,利用白光发光二极管的照明,很多学者提出了基于照明用的白光发光二极管室内的可见光通信(Visible-Light Communication,VLC)系统。白光发光二极管照明通信是将发光二极管照明技术和光通信技术相结合产生的一种新技术,这种通信的距离从数米到数十米,具有安全节能、通信容量大等显著特点,其作为一个全新的无线通信手段,已经引起国内外越来越多的关注。目前商用白光发光二极管的调制带宽有限,只有约3-50MHz。这是因为白光发光二极管设计的初衷是用于照明,而并非用于通信,其结电容很大,限制了调制带宽。因此,在保证大功率输出的前提下,开发出具有更高调制带宽的发光二极管光源,将极大地促进可见光通信技术的发展。In recent years, light-emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode, LED) lighting technology, known as "green lighting", has developed rapidly. Compared with traditional lighting sources, white light-emitting diodes not only have low power consumption, long service life, small size, environmental protection, but also have the advantages of good modulation performance and high response sensitivity. On the one hand, white light-emitting diodes have the characteristics of high emission power and safety to human eyes; on the other hand, they have the advantages of fast response, good modulation, no electromagnetic interference, and no need to apply for radio spectrum. Therefore, by utilizing the illumination of white light emitting diodes, many scholars have proposed a visible light communication (Visible-Light Communication, VLC) system based on white light emitting diodes for illumination. White light-emitting diode lighting communication is a new technology that combines light-emitting diode lighting technology and optical communication technology. The distance of this communication ranges from several meters to tens of meters. It has the characteristics of safety, energy saving, and large communication capacity. As a The new wireless communication means has attracted more and more attention at home and abroad. At present, the modulation bandwidth of commercial white light emitting diodes is limited, only about 3-50MHz. This is because the original intention of the white light emitting diode design is for lighting, not for communication, and its junction capacitance is very large, which limits the modulation bandwidth. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring high power output, the development of LED light sources with higher modulation bandwidth will greatly promote the development of visible light communication technology.

发光二极管的调制带宽是可见光通信系统信道容量和传输速率的决定性因素,受到器件实际的调制深度、伏安特性等因素的多方面影响。传统结构的发光二极管调制特性难以满足可见光通信的高速调制特性,而构造新型结构的发光器件在未来的VLC产业中显得尤为重要。现有建立在异质结双极晶体管(Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor,HBT)结构基础上的新型结构的高速调制发光晶体管存在出光效率低下的缺点,虽然满足可见光通信的带宽条件,却难以满足室内照明的要求。The modulation bandwidth of light-emitting diodes is the decisive factor for the channel capacity and transmission rate of visible light communication systems, and is affected by many factors such as the actual modulation depth and volt-ampere characteristics of the device. The modulation characteristics of light-emitting diodes with traditional structures are difficult to meet the high-speed modulation characteristics of visible light communication, and the construction of light-emitting devices with new structures is particularly important in the future VLC industry. The existing high-speed modulation light-emitting transistor with a new structure based on the heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) structure has the disadvantage of low light extraction efficiency. Although it meets the bandwidth conditions of visible light communication, it is difficult to meet the requirements of indoor lighting. .

在发光二极管的PN结(PN junction)上施加正向电压时,PN结会有电流流过。电子和空穴在PN结过渡层中复合会产生光子,然而并不是每一对电子和空穴都会产生光子,由于LED的PN结作为杂质半导体,存在着材料品质、位错因素以及工艺上的种种缺陷,会产生杂质电离、激发散射和晶格散射等问题,使电子从激发态跃迁到基态时与晶格原子或离子交换能量时发生无辐射跃迁,也就是不产生光子,这部分能量不转换成光能而转换成热能损耗在PN结内,于是就有一个复合载流子转换效率,并用符号Nint表示。When a forward voltage is applied to the PN junction of the light-emitting diode, the PN junction will have a current flow. The recombination of electrons and holes in the PN junction transition layer will generate photons, but not every pair of electrons and holes will generate photons. Since the PN junction of the LED is an impurity semiconductor, there are material quality, dislocation factors, and process issues. Various defects will cause problems such as impurity ionization, excitation scattering and lattice scattering, so that when electrons transition from excited state to ground state, there will be a non-radiative transition when exchanging energy with lattice atoms or ions, that is, no photons will be generated, and this part of energy will not It is converted into light energy and converted into heat energy and is lost in the PN junction, so there is a composite carrier conversion efficiency, which is represented by the symbol Nint.

Nint=(复合载流子产生的光子数/复合载流子总数)×100%Nint=(number of photons generated by recombination carriers/total number of recombination carriers)×100%

而在LED中不是所有产生的光子都能有效逸出器件,有些激发出的光子会重新被半导体吸收或者经过全反射在出光面又反射回去,于是就有一个LED光子逸出率的问题存在。可以这样来表示LED中产生的光子逸出到空气中的比率。In LEDs, not all photons generated can effectively escape from the device, and some excited photons will be absorbed by the semiconductor again or reflected back on the light-emitting surface after total reflection, so there is a problem of LED photon escape rate. This can be expressed as the rate at which photons generated in the LED escape into the air.

Nout=(逸出到空气中的光子数/PN结产生的光子总数)×100%Nout=(the number of photons escaped into the air/the total number of photons produced by the PN junction)×100%

发光晶体管的出光率同样可以用LED的量子效率来表征,而如何提升发光晶体管的出光率是本发明的重点。The light extraction rate of the light-emitting transistor can also be characterized by the quantum efficiency of the LED, and how to improve the light output rate of the light-emitting transistor is the key point of the present invention.

所以,有必要提供一种改进的发光二极管以避免上述缺陷。Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved LED that avoids the above drawbacks.
