Description

High-luminous-efficiency ultraviolet LED epitaxial structure
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to an ultraviolet LED epitaxial structure with high luminous efficiency.
Background
GaN-based LEDs typically employ a Mg-doped p-type wide bandgap AlGaN layer as an electron blocking layer over a multiple quantum well barrier structure. Although the leakage of hot electrons to the p layer can be effectively blocked, the hole concentration of the p-type AlGaN is low, and the LED luminous efficiency is not kept under the high-current working condition of the LED. Recently, a short period superlattice structure based on p-type AlGaN/GaN is beginning to be used as an electron blocking layer of LEDs. In the p-type AlGaN/GaN short-period superlattice structure, the energy band of the GaN layer is bent by a polarization electric field, and the activation energy of Mg is reduced, so that holes with higher concentration are generated in the GaN layer.
However, the p-type AlGaN/GaN short-period superlattice electron blocking layer has two disadvantages. First, in order to bend the energy band of the GaN layer enough to lower the activation energy of Mg, the thickness of the AlGaN layer needs to be controlled in the range of 4nm to 8nm, which hinders the transport of holes in the vertical direction. Secondly, stress still exists between the AlGaN/GaN short-period superlattice and the last GaN barrier of the quantum well, so that the height of the AlGaN barrier is reduced, and the electron blocking effect is weakened.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome the defects, the invention provides the high-luminous-efficiency ultraviolet LED epitaxial structure, and the luminous efficiency of the ultraviolet LED is effectively improved.
The technical scheme provided by the invention is as follows:
an epitaxial structure, comprising: the stress control layer, the n-type current expansion layer, the active region light emitting layer, the electron blocking layer and the p-type current expansion layer are sequentially grown on the surface of the growth substrate; wherein the electron blocking layer is formed by ScaAl1-aPeriodic structure of N layer and GaN layer, 0.15<a<0.20。
Further preferably, the electron blocking layer is formed by 6-9 ScaAl1-aAnd the N layer and the GaN layer form a periodic structure.
Further preferably, the ScaAl1-aThe thickness of the N layer is 2-4 nm, and the thickness of the GaN layer is 2-4 nm.
Further preferably, the electron blocking layer is doped with a dopant with a concentration of 9 × 1019~2×1020cm-2Mg in between.
In the high-luminous-efficiency ultraviolet LED epitaxial structure provided by the invention, the atomic radius of a rare earth element scandium (Sc) is larger than that of Al, so that larger lattice distortion can be generated in the ScAlN material. Meanwhile, the electronegativity of scandium is small, so that the ionic bond proportion in the ScAlN layer can be increased. These two points make the ScAlN layer have high spontaneous polarization coefficient, so that the ScAlN/GaN short period superlattice (Sc)aAl1-aA periphery formed by N layer and GaN layerPeriodic structure), a very thin layer of ScAlN can produce a large enough bending of the energy band of the spontaneous polarization electro-field GaN layer, thereby reducing the activation energy of Mg and obtaining high concentration holes. In addition, since the thickness of the ScAlN is thin, holes can be efficiently transported in the vertical direction by a tunneling mechanism. Moreover, the Sc component is ScAlN with the content of 18% and GaN, lattice matching on a heterojunction interface can be realized, interface stress is eliminated, the reduction of the ScAlN barrier height is avoided, good electronic blocking capability is kept, and the photoelectric efficiency of the LED is effectively improved.
