Background technique
Light emitting diode (light-emitting diode, LED) because have efficiently, it is energy conservation and environmental protection, the long-life, small in size
The advantages that, it is expected to the lighting source for replacing traditional incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp and gas-discharge lamp to become a new generation, causes industry
And the extensive concern of scientific research field.It is born so far from first LED in 1962, the various aspects of performance of LED has all obtained greatly
It is promoted, application field is also increasingly wider.
Currently, being the GaN and its correlation with excellent photoelectric properties for manufacturing blue white light LED chip most ideal material
Group III-nitride.Although the GaN base LED chip of extension on a sapphire substrate is very mature, this chip mostly base
Built-up in polar surface, this can form very strong internal electric field (magnitude MV/cm), electric dipole easy to form at Quantum Well
And spontaneous polarization field and piezoelectric polarization fields are generated, and then quantum is caused to fetter Stark effect (Quantum-confined
Starker Effect, QCSE), the final luminous efficiency for reducing LED.In fact, the GaN epitaxial film of non-polar plane is demonstrate,proved
The influence of film itself spontaneous polarization effect is avoided that or weakened in fact, is greatly improved the luminous efficiency of chip, is generally acknowledged in the world
Most effectual way.Compared with traditional polar surface film, it is more applicable applied to LED light emitting device.Firstly, using nonpolarity
Face GaN base material prepares LED, and LED luminous efficiency can theoretically improved by about one time;Secondly, non-polar plane LED will not generate hair
The phenomenon that optical wavelength blue shift;Finally, nonpolarity InGaN/GaN Quantum Well has polarization characteristic, and light uniformity is promoted, reached
Energy conservation, the effect for improving tone.And the extension of non-polar plane film is largely related with the selection of substrate material.Therefore
LED industry will obtain the core technology of epitaxial growth, improve LED luminous efficiency, and being bound to, it is sapphire new to find a kind of substitution
Type substrate, and realize the growth of non-polar GaN epitaxial material.
In contrast, LaAlO3Crystal is growing nonpolar face GaN and its more particularly suitable substrate material of LED component.It grinds
The person's of studying carefully discovery, LaAlO3 chemical property are stablized, and are at room temperature monoclinic structure, and space group is R-3c (No.167), structure cell
Parameter are as follows:LaAlO3 crystal at room temperature has counterfeit cubic structure, and ideal calcium titanium
Mine structure is very close.Therefore LaAlO3 monocrystalline matches a variety of perovskite structure material lattices, is that epitaxial growth high temperature is super
Lead film and the fabulous substrate material of giant magnetoresistive thin film, dielectric properties are suitable for answering in terms of low-loss microwave and dielectric resonance
With.In addition, for a long time, LaAlO3As the substrate material of high-temperature superconducting thin film and giant magnetoresistive thin film, technology of preparing is mature, produces
Amount is big, the corresponding substrate of crystal face required for being easy to get.

Specific embodiment
The invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, it should be noted that is do not collided
Under the premise of, new embodiment can be formed between various embodiments described below or between each technical characteristic in any combination.Except spy
Except very illustrating, employed in the present embodiment to material and equipment be commercially available.
Fig. 1 is the LED epitaxial wafer structural schematic diagram based on GaN in the embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to Figure 1, the LED epitaxial wafer provided by the invention based on GaN, including substrate 1, sequentially form on substrate 1
GaN nano column array insert layer 2 and n-GaN layer 3.
GaN insert layer of the invention uses nano-pillar array structure, relative to film-type buffer layer, nano column array buffering
Layer is small with the contact area of substrate.If the contact area of film and substrate is 1, nano column array and substrate are connect
