embodiment 1
The high hole concentration electronic barrier layer 106 of the present embodiment only comprises 1 the first doped layer 121 and 1 the second doped layer 122. as shown in Figure 2, and the first doped layer adopts the mode alternately passing into In source and Mg source to realize, and concrete mode is for maintaining NH 3continue to pass into reative cell, and carry out following steps:
(1) pass into Mg source, the duration is t 1;
(2) turn off Mg source, pass into In source, the duration is t 2;
(3) turn off In source, the duration is t 3.
This first doped layer adopts repetition step (1) ~ (3) to realize.At t 1in time, only pass into Mg source, growth front end can be made to retain a certain amount of Mg atom; After turning off Mg source, at t 2pass into In source in time, growth front end can be made not have Mg atom or the less region of Mg atomic ratio to form InN cover layer; Because the decomposition temperature of InN is lower, easily decompose, turn off In source, and continue t 3time, can make at t 2the InN generated in time decomposes, and leaves more atom N dangling bonds; In next circulation, at t 1pass into Mg source again in time, can locate further to form Mg atomic layer at atom N dangling bonds.
Adopt above method can form equally distributed Mg atomic layer in growth front end, in the second doped layer growth course, effectively can increase the incorporation efficiency of Mg atom, increase the hole concentration in the second doped layer, reduce resistivity.
