Abstract

The invention discloses a method for growing a GaN-based luminous crystal film by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The method is characterized in that: trimethylborine or trimethylaluminium are doped in a raw material formula of the GaN crystal film in proportion, and boron or aluminum enter a GaN crystal lattice in a mode of trivalent ion in a growing process to regulate the ionic radius difference between rare-earth ions and Ga3+; the molar ratio of the raw material formula is that: Ga (CH3)3 to rare-earth organic complex to A(CH3)3 is (1-x-y):x:y, wherein the rare-earth organic complex is Re(TMHD)3 or Re (i-PrCp)3 taking rare-earth element Re as a core; A represents III group element boron or aluminum; x is more than or equal to 0.1 percent and less than or equal to 10.0 percent; and y is more than or equal to 0.1 time of the x and less than or equal to x. Because the organic complex of the III group element boron or aluminum and the rare-earth organic complex are co-doped in a certain proportion, the method can improve lattice distortion of the GaN crystal film caused by larger radius mismatch between Re3+ and Ga3+ to a large extent so as to improve the luminous performance of the GaN crystal film.
