Description

A kind of green-yellow light LED containing the wide barrier structure of doping
Technical field
The invention belongs to photoelectron technical field, be specifically related to AlGaInP quaternary system LED production technical field.
Background technology
Quaternary system AlGaInP green-yellow light light-emitting diode is widely used in the every field such as signal designation, display, traffic instruction, display screen, automotive lighting, special lighting.Quaternary AlGaInP material shortens along with wavelength, and active layer Al component constantly raises, and Al atom is combined with oxygen or carbon atom and causes material to produce serious lattice defect, and luminous efficiency declines; The ratio due to Al component of being with of green-yellow light improves on the other hand, and energy gap is progressively transformed into indirect gap by direct gap, and internal quantum efficiency declines to a great extent further, causes green-yellow light wave band LED product light efficiency lower; Meanwhile, when utilizing organometallic vapor deposition (MOCVD) technology to produce, because slide glass plate edge epitaxial deposition efficiency is poor, epitaxial wafer growth back edge poor performance, produces yield low, and problems embodies more obvious at the green-yellow light wave band of the process window more limit.
Traditional AlGaInP quaternary system green-yellow light LED, as Fig. 1, on GaAs substrate 11, is grown to resilient coating 12, Bragg reflecting layer 13, first limiting layer 14, undoped active layer 15, second limiting layer 16 and GaP Window layer 17 from bottom to top successively.This structure is due to the active layer material energy gap limit of green-yellow light wave band self, be difficult to obtain efficient electron-hole recombinations efficiency, technical staff captures at active layer for improving electron hole, improve internal quantum efficiency, general employing increases active layer superlattice logarithm, but this type of technique promotes limited brightness, and due to the increase of active layer thickness, PN junction barrier capacitance reduces, and the ESD antistatic property of device can be made to be deteriorated; This technique is due to window narrows simultaneously, during production edge due to epitaxial deposition efficiency poor, the problem that epitaxial wafer edge yield is low highlights.
Summary of the invention
For solving the problem, the present invention aim to provide a kind of can improving product qualification rate, keep the green-yellow light LED of luminous efficiency.
Present invention resides in resilient coating, Bragg reflecting layer, the first limiting layer, undoped superlattice first active layer, wide barrier structure layer of adulterating, undoped superlattice second active layer, the second limiting layer, the GaP Window layer of the one side growth of GaAs substrate, GaP Window layer is provided with the first electrode, the another side of GaAs substrate is provided with the second electrode.
The present invention can improve the low problem of the internal quantum efficiency of traditional structure significantly by adding the wide barrier structure layer of doping in active layer, the hole of improving active area is injected, promote electron-hole recombinations efficiency, thus improve product light efficiency significantly, its brightness comparatively traditional structure can promote 30% ~ 50%, Product Process window can be improved simultaneously, improve production technology, promote 2% ~ 4% chip yield, therefore, the present invention can produce the LED of the high efficiency of emission wavelength 560 ~ 580nm scope and the green-yellow light wave band of high production yield in a large number.
The wide barrier structure layer of doping of the present invention is Al yga (1-Y)inP adulterates wide barrier layer, and wherein, 0.5<Y<1, doped chemical is Zn or Mg.Use Zn or Mg doping can provide hole in active area, improve active area electronics and hole-recombination, improve internal quantum efficiency, the higher hole provided of further doping content is more, promote effect larger, but active area doping too much can lower device useful life, so the present invention selects doping content scope to be between 1E16-1E17.
The thickness d of the wide barrier structure layer of described doping is 30nm≤d≤300nm.Thickness is thick provides more hole, improve active area electronics and hole-recombination, improve internal quantum efficiency, after the thick epitaxial wafer edge epi deposition of further thickness, quality of materials process window increases, epitaxial wafer edge chip output yield is high, but it is saturated without further castering action that the blocked up skirt materials of wide barrier layer thickness of adulterating improves effect, simultaneously too much can lower device useful life because thickness increases active area entirety doping, the blocked up PN junction barrier capacitance that also can cause of this wide barrier structure layer thickness reduces in addition, device ESD degradation.
Undoped superlattice first active layer, undoped superlattice second active layer are respectively Al xga (1-X)inP/Al yga (1-Y)inP active layer, 0.3≤X≤0.35,0.6≤Y≤0.7, periodic thickness is 1 nm ~ 15nm, and cycle logarithm is 2-120 couple.Undoped active layer can trapped electron, forms efficient recombination luminescence layer, simultaneously because the doping of active layer free from admixture can boost device useful life further.Value is according to the adjustment of product actual wavelength, and Y value is little to be equaled 0.7 object and can be with poor for ensureing superlattice structure, ensures source region combined efficiency.If Y value is as being less than 0.5, can be absorbed with source region luminescence by direct band gap, makes product light efficiency low; As Y value is higher, potential barrier is higher, and product voltage is high, and device performance is poor.The present invention's " periodic thickness " refers to single to active layer material Al xga (1-X)inP/Al yga (1-Y)the thickness of InP.As periodic thickness is blocked up, then quantum effect is deteriorated, luminous efficiency step-down, and active area integral thickness increases simultaneously, and PN junction barrier capacitance reduces, device ESD degradation.Usual logarithm is more can the effectively saturation current of boost device and internal quantum efficiency, but may bring ESD degradation problem, and logarithm is more, then combined efficiency is higher; Logarithm is few, then combined efficiency is low.But logarithm too many quantum combined efficiency is saturated without humidification, increase with logarithm, active area integral thickness increases simultaneously, and PN junction barrier capacitance reduces, device ESD degradation.So the present invention select 2 ~ 120 right.
The main light emission wavelength of undoped superlattice first active layer, undoped superlattice second active layer is 570 ± 10nm, to ensure to send the green-yellow light that spectral distribution wave band is 560-580nm.
