Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of LED design and application, in particular to an LED epitaxial growth method for improving the carrier transport and distribution of a light emitting region and a prepared epitaxial layer structure.
Background
The GaN Light Emitting Diode (LED) is used as a novel efficient, energy-saving and environment-friendly illumination light source, is widely applied to backlight illumination, energy-saving illumination and general illumination by virtue of the advantages of high brightness, low power consumption, long service life, low power and the like, and can thoroughly replace the traditional incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp.
Therefore, factors affecting the photoelectric performance of the LED are focused on, and particularly, the photoelectric performance of the LED is greatly reduced due to the efficiency reduction when the LED is operated under the injection of a large current. At present, researchers propose that the main reasons for the efficiency reduction are the problem of poor carrier injection and the problem of serious electron leakage inside the structure, so a key method for improving the photoelectric performance of the GaN LED is to improve the carrier injection and reduce the electron leakage.
Since holes have a relatively high effective mass and a relatively low mobility with respect to electrons, the number of holes injected from the p-side into the light-emitting layer is much smaller than that of electrons injected from the n-side, and thus, a phenomenon in which a large number of carriers are accumulated near the p-side and electrons leak to the p-side occurs, which eventually leads to a decrease in the radiative recombination efficiency of holes and electrons, and decreases the photoelectric performance of the LED. Therefore, improving the carrier transport to the active layer and the carrier limiting capability of the light emitting layer is an important link for improving the photoelectric performance of the LED.
At present, energy band engineering is generally adopted internationally or an AlGaN electron blocking layer and the like are grown between a light-emitting layer and a p-type GaN layer to improve the transport of carriers and the limiting capability of the carriers, but due to the difference of lattice coefficients of different materials, a large polarization effect occurs in the structure, for example, the AlGaN electron blocking layer is not favorable for injecting holes due to the polarization effect between the AlGaN electron blocking layer and a GaN barrier layer while forming an electron barrier to inhibit electron leakage; in addition, the p-type Mg doping ionization activation rate In the AlGaN electron blocking layer is very low, so that the hole concentration In the AlGaN electron blocking layer is low, and due to the growth conditions, lattice defects and relatively large stress can be generated when the AlGaN electron blocking layer grows, and the distribution uniformity of In components In the quantum well is influenced.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to effectively reduce the problem of efficiency reduction of the GaN-based LED, the invention provides a GaN-based LED epitaxial structure comprising an electronic storage layer and a growth method thereof.
The technical solution for realizing the purpose of the invention is as follows: a GaN-based LED epitaxial structure comprising an electronic storage layer In y Ga 1-y In is arranged between the N/GaN luminescent layer and the AlGaN electron barrier layer x Ga 1-x N electron storage layer of In x Ga -x1In NxThe value was 0.05.

Preferably, the thickness of the light-emitting layer is 70 to 75 nm.
Preferably, the AlGaN electron blocking layer has a thickness of 90-100 nm.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
in the invention, an In layer is introduced between the last barrier layer of the luminescent layer and the electron barrier layer x Ga -x1N quantum well layer (x0.05) as an electron storage layer. After the electron storage layer is introduced, an electron potential well is formed between the electron blocking layer and the GaN potential barrier due to the introduction of the InGaN material, a large number of leaked electrons can be stored in the potential well, and the Auger recombination efficiency of the device can be effectively reduced. In addition, in the traditional GaN-based LED, the interface between the last potential barrier of the light-emitting layer and the electron blocking layer is a GaN-AlGaN interface, after the electron storage layer is introduced, the interface between the storage layer and the electron blocking layer is an InGaN-AlGaN interface, and compared with the GaN-AlGaN interface, the polarization electric field between the storage layer and the electron blocking layer can be increased, the effective height of the electron blocking layer can be effectively improved, and electrons can be better limited; and finally, the photoelectric property of the GaN-based LED can be improved.

By definition of the efficiency drop, the efficiency drop is the ratio of the maximum IQE minus the IQE at the current operating current to the maximum IQE, the efficiency drop for the typical LED epitaxial structure, sample 2, is 30.1%, whereas the efficiency drop for sample 1 designed by the present invention is only 14.2%.
The invention shows that the GaN-based LED epitaxial growth method with the electronic storage layer can effectively reduce the efficiency attenuation of the GaN-based LED.
