Description

紫外LED的外延结构
技术领域
本发明涉及LED技术领域,尤其是一种紫外LED的外延结构。
背景技术
在生长短波长365nm-370nm范围的紫外LED结构时,为了减少外延层内部的光子吸收,通常使用N型的AlGaN替代GaN作为电流扩展层;同时,采用高Al组分的AlGaN作为势垒层把载流子限制在多量子阱中进行复合。但是,N型AlGaN电流扩展层和高Al组分的AlGaN势垒层对InGaN量子阱层施加了较大的压应力,产生了诸如界面缺陷等高密度非辐射复合中心的同时,加剧了量子限制stark效应,限制了InGaN量子阱厚度的增加,从而制约了紫外LED光效的提高。
发明内容
为了克服以上不足,本发明提供了一种紫外LED的外延结构,有效缓解现有紫外LED的外延结构中出现的压应力较大等技术问题。
本发明提供的技术方案为:
一种紫外LED的外延结构,包括:在生长衬底表面依次生长的应力控制层、n型电流扩展层、有源区发光层及p型电流扩展层;其中,有源区发光层为由InaGa1-aN量子阱层和AlbGa1-bN势垒层形成的周期性结构,周期为4~7;
在该周期性结构中,由下到上InaGa1-aN量子阱层的厚度逐层增加15%,0.01<a<0.05,最下层的InaGa1-aN量子阱层的厚度为2~4nm;由下到上AlbGa1-bN势垒层中的Al组分b逐层增加15%,最下层的AlbGa1-bN势垒层中0.06<b<0.08。
在本发明提供的紫外LED的外延结构中,有源区发光层中的InaGa1-aN量子阱层厚度逐渐增加,AlbGa1-bN势垒层中的Al组分逐渐提高,有效缓解了InGaN/AlGaN多量子阱结构的应力,减少晶格缺陷的产生,缓解结构中的量子限制stark效应。此外,由结构中压应力的缓冲,靠近电子阻挡层的最后一个周期的发光阱的厚度大幅增加,大大提高了紫外LED的发光效率。

具体实施方式
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施案例或现有技术中的技术方案,下面将对照附图说明本发明的具体实施方式。显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅是本发明的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图,并获得其他的实施方式。
如图1所示为本发明提供的紫外LED(发光波长365-370nm)外延结构示意图,从图中看出,该紫外LED的外延结构中包括:在生长衬底(图示中,为硅衬底层1)表面依次生长的应力控制层2、n型电流扩展层3、有源区发光层4及p型电流扩展层5;其中,有源区发光层为由InaGa1-aN量子阱层和AlbGa1-bN势垒层形成的周期性结构,周期为4~7。在该周期性结构中,由下到上InaGa1-aN量子阱层的厚度逐层增加15%,0.01<a<0.05,最下层的InaGa1-aN量子阱层(最靠近电流扩展层3的InaGa1-aN量子阱层)的厚度为2~4nm;由下到上AlbGa1-bN势垒层中的Al组分b逐层增加15%,最下层的AlbGa1-bN势垒层(最靠近电流扩展层3的AlbGa1-bN势垒层)中0.06<b<0.08,且AlbGa1-bN势垒层的厚度为10~15nm,所有AlbGa1-bN势垒层中掺杂有浓度在5×1016~5×1018cm-2之间的硅。
如图2所示,在一实例中,有源区发光层为由3个周期的InaGa1-aN量子阱层和AlbGa1-bN势垒层形成,最下层的InaGa1-aN量子阱层厚度为3nm,往上两个周期InaGa1-aN量子阱层的厚度分别为3.45nm和3.9675nm,a的取值根据发光波长的需求在0.01~0.05之间调整,3个周期中InaGa1-aN量子阱层中的Al组分a不变、AlbGa1-bN势垒层中的Al组分b逐层增加15%,其中,最下层的AlbGa1-bN势垒层中的Al组分b为0.07,往上两个周期AlbGa1-bN势垒层中的Al组分b依次为0.0805和0.092575,厚度均为12nm。
在一实例中,使用MOCVD生长设备、选用Si(111)衬底为硅衬底层1、非掺杂AlN/AlGaN层为应力控制层2,Si掺杂的AlGaN层作为n型电流扩展层3,InaGa1-aN量子阱层和AlbGa1-bN势垒层组成的多量子阱结构作为有源区发光层4,Mg掺杂的AlGaN层作为p型电流扩展层5,具体:
首先,将硅衬底层1放置到MOCVD反应室中,升温到1100℃,并通入H2进行高温表面清洁处理。
随后,将反应室温度设定在800~1200℃,往反应室中通入三甲基铝(TMAl)、氨气(NH3),在H2作为载气的条件下生长一层AlN,相同条件下在AlN上通过三甲基铝(TMAl)、三甲基镓(TMGa)、氨气(NH3)生长一层AlGaN,形成应力控制层2。
紧接着,以硅烷(SiH4)作为掺杂剂,掺杂浓度为8×1018cm-3,生长温度在900~1100℃,实现n型电流扩展层3的生长,生长出来的n型电流扩展层3为Al组分7%的n型Al0.07Ga0.93N层,厚度3000nm。
之后,反应室温度为750℃,以氮气(N2)作为载气,通入三甲基铟(TMIn)、三乙基镓(TEGa)、氨气(NH3)生长厚度为3nm的In0.02Ga0.98N量子阱层;接着将反应室温度升高到850℃,通入三甲基铝(TMAl)、三乙基镓(TEGa)、氨气(NH3)生长厚度为12nm的Al0.07Ga0.93N势垒层,同时通入硅烷(SiH4)进行掺杂,掺杂浓度2×1018cm-3。之后,以相同的生长条件生长有源区发光层中剩余4个周期,其中,以3nm厚的In0.02Ga0.98N量子阱层为基准,每个周期中的In0.02Ga0.98N量子阱层的厚度逐层增加15%,分别为3.45nm、3.97nm、4.56nm及5.28nm;以Al0.07Ga0.93N势垒层为基准,势垒层中的Al组分逐层增加15%,分比为0.0805和0.0926、0.1065及0.1224,得到有源区发光层。
最后,以H2或者N2作为载气,通入TMAl、TMGa及NH3,且以二茂镁(Cp2Mg)作为掺杂剂在外延生长温度为900℃~1000℃的条件下生长p型电流扩展层5,厚度为80nm。
将紫外LED芯片(包括本实例中紫外LED外延结构制备的紫外LED芯片和普通InGaN/AlGaN量子阱结构制备的紫外LED芯片)切割成1.125*1.125mm大小,在350mA电流下进行光功率测量,本实例中LED芯片的光功率为427mW,普通InGaN/AlGaN量子阱结构的紫外LED芯片的光功率为406mW,可见,使用本发明方法制备得到的紫外LED芯片的光功率得到了提升。
应当说明的是,上述实施例均可根据需要自由组合。以上所述仅是本发明的优选实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明原理的前提下,还可以做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也应视为本发明的保护范围。
