Description

一种发光二极管外延片的制造方法
技术领域
本发明涉及紫外(UV)光的LED,特别是其外延片的生产的技术领域。
背景技术
近来,已经开发出用于发射具有365nm或更短的波长的深紫外光的LED。紫光器件可以被广泛地应用于空气和水的消毒、表面污染物的去除、诸如生物剂检测器的光传感器、聚合物的UV固化、医学分析设备等。
目前紫光外延生长面临的困难主要包括衬底和材料本身对紫光的吸收以及如何获得较高晶体质量的AlGaN材质。早期材料生长有通过AlN缓冲层、SiN掩膜方式改善晶体质量,降低位错密度,现有技术通过PSS衬底溅射AlN成核、材料生长中插入AlN层等方式改善晶体质量的效果显著。
通常紫光LED具有下述结构:含有Al的GaN基阱层的多量子阱结构介于n型AIGaN层和p型AIGaN层之间,以发射短波长的光。同时,由于AIGaN层通常不与金属欧姆接触,因此采用具有少量Al的GaN作为p型接触层。然而,因为A1原子粘附系数更大,表面吸附原子的迁移率比Ga原子低得多,无法在表面获得足够的能量移动到合适的晶格位置,导致了三维岛状生长,结果造成高A1组分的AlGaN薄膜生长过程产生了不同的成核点,成核点增长成岛后再合并,这样生长的AlGaN薄膜中位错密度、界面缺陷密度非常高。
此外在MOCVD生长AlGaN材料过程中用到的Al源和氨气的预反应非常迅速,也导致A1N和AlGaN层的晶体质量下降。有报道采用较低的V/III比以降低Al源前体与NH3的碰撞几率,减少两者的络合物生成,而NH3具有较高的热稳定性,低温不易分解,通常外延生长需要大量的活性N来稳定材质表面。在低V/III比情况下采用NH3作为N源不利于获得充足的活性N源,不利于获得较高晶体值得AlGaN薄膜。也有报告通过脉冲方式生长高质量的AlN、AlGaN薄膜。
发明内容
本发明目的是通过一种外延生长方法,以解决氮化镓基发光二极管存在的上述Al源前体与NH3发生预反应的问题。
本发明技术方案是:在衬底的同一侧依次外延生长AlN成核层、AlGaN非掺杂层、n型AlGaN电子注入层、n型AlGaN空穴阻挡层、多量子阱有源区、AlGaN电子阻挡层、AlGaN空穴注入层,其特征在于:在外延生长AlN成核层、AlGaN非掺杂层、n型AlGaN电子注入层、n型AlGaN空穴阻挡层、多量子阱有源区和AlGaN电子阻挡层时,通入N源前驱物和III族金属有机化合物,本发明的特征是:所述N源前驱物为低分解温度的有机氮源。
本发明在外延片生长时采用低分解温度的有机氮源作为N的前驱物,能够在较低V/III比下获得充足的活性N源,避免过多的V族N源前驱物与III族III族金属有机化合物形成预反应,改善晶体生长质量,提高LED内量子效率,以此外延片制成的发光二极管的发光波长可达200~400nm。
进一步地,本发明所述低分解温度的有机氮源为偏二甲肼或苯基联胺。
采用偏二甲肼或苯基联胺作为低分解温度的有机氮源,因其分解温度偏低,在温度为400~600℃的条件下即可达到50%以上的分解效率,故可为材料生长提供充足的活性N源,有利于避免氮源未分解前与Al源形成络合物,同时有利于维持材料生长时的薄膜质量,避免晶格缺陷。
所述低分解温度的有机氮源和III族有机金属化合物的混合体积比为10~500∶1。在该比例下,一方面有利于保证N源的充足供应,避免N源与Al源预聚物的形成,同时该范围内通过调节低分解温度的有机氮源的通入量,调节材料的二维平面生长和三维结构生长。当降低有机氮源含量时,有利于借助III族金属原子迁移势垒偏高的特点,促进材料三维结构生长,形成二次成核重构外延层生长。当提高有机氮源的含量时,有利于借助N源在衬底的延伸吸附,减少III族金属原子的迁移势垒,促进材料二维平面生长,改善晶格缺陷,减少位错的产生。三维结构生长与二维平面生长的调控促进晶体质量的提高。
