Detailed Description
In view of the shortcomings in the prior art, the inventor of the present invention has long studied and practiced in a large number of ways to propose the technical scheme of the present invention. The technical solution, implementation process and principle thereof will be further explained with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments, and unless otherwise specified, parameters such as thickness of each structural layer in the GaN-based laser epitaxial structure in the embodiments of the present invention may be selected according to specific situations, and are not specifically limited herein.
According to the GaN-based laser epitaxial structure with the hole acceleration structure, the p-type GaN hole acceleration layer (i.e. the up-type GaN hole acceleration layer) lightly doped with Mg is inserted between the p-type AlGaN electron blocking layer and the p-type AlGaN limiting layer, so that the injection efficiency of holes penetrating the p-type AlGaN electron blocking layer and being injected into the light-emitting layer is improved through the p-type GaN hole acceleration layer, the number of holes reaching the light-emitting layer is improved, and the carrier distribution state of 'electrons are strong and weak' in the laser is balanced. The invention has the advantages of simple operation and good process repeatability, is beneficial to improving the luminous efficiency of laser, reducing the threshold voltage, prolonging the service life of the laser and the like, and is suitable for industrial production.
The p-type GaN hole accelerating layer in the GaN-based laser epitaxial structure with the hole accelerating structure can accelerate the migration rate of holes, promote more holes to enter the quantum well luminescent layer, improve the probability of radiation recombination of the holes and electrons, and reduce the problem of overhigh voltage caused by blocking of the p-type AlGaN electron blocking layer on the holes.
The GaN-based laser epitaxial structure with the hole acceleration structure is mainly characterized in that the performance of the whole device is improved by inserting the p-GaN hole acceleration layer structure.
Referring to fig. 3, an epitaxial structure of a GaN-based blue laser includes an n-type confinement layer (i.e., a lower confinement layer) 20, a first waveguide layer (i.e., a lower waveguide layer) 30, a light emitting layer (also referred to as a light emitting active region, an active layer, etc.) 40, a second waveguide layer (i.e., an upper waveguide layer) 50, a p-type Electron Blocking Layer (EBL) 60, a p-type confinement layer (i.e., an upper confinement layer) 80, and a p-type ohmic contact layer 90, and a p-type Hole Acceleration Layer (HAL) disposed between the second waveguide layer 50 and the p-type confinement layer 80, which are sequentially stacked.
Specifically, the epitaxial structure may include one or two p-type hole acceleration layers, when only one p-type hole acceleration layer is included, the p-type hole acceleration layer may be disposed between the p-type electron blocking layer 60 and the p-type confinement layer 80 or between the second waveguide layer 50 and the p-type electron blocking layer 60, and when two p-type hole acceleration layers are included, one p-type hole acceleration layer is disposed between the p-type electron blocking layer 60 and the p-type confinement layer 80, the other p-type hole acceleration layer may be disposed between the second waveguide layer 50 and the p-type electron blocking layer 60, and the structure, material, and characteristic parameters of the two p-type hole acceleration layers may be the same.
Specifically, fig. 3 shows a case where a p-type hole acceleration layer 70 is provided between the p-type electron blocking layer 60 and the p-type confinement layer 80.
Specifically, the substrate 10 is an n-GaN homogeneous substrate or an n-GaN template with a heterogeneous substrate, the n-type confinement layer 20 is a si-doped n-AlGaN layer, and the Al component content in the n-AlGaN layer is 8 at%; the first waveguide layer 30 is an undoped InGaN layer, the thickness of the undoped InGaN layer is 60nm, and the in component content is 3at%;
the light-emitting layer 40 is an InGaN/GaN quantum well light-emitting layer, which includes 2 periods of InGaN well layers and GaN barrier layers alternately stacked on each other, wherein the In component content of the InGaN well layers is 15 at%, the thickness of the InGaN well layers is 3nm, and the thickness of the GaN barrier layers is 7nm;
the second waveguide layer 50 is an undoped InGaN layer having a thickness of 60nm and an in component content of 3at%; the p-type electron blocking layer 60 and the p-type limiting layer 80 are both Mg-doped p-AlGaN layers, and the ohmic contact layer 90 is a Mg-highly doped p-GaN layer, wherein the thickness of the p-type electron blocking layer 60 is 25nm, and the doping concentration of Mg is 1E20-1E21cm -3 The thickness of the p-type limiting layer 80 is 850nm, and the doping concentration of Mg is 1E19-1E20cm -3 The thickness of the p-type ohmic contact layer 90 is 10nm, the first p-type hole acceleration layer 70 is a weak p-type p-GaN layer (i.e. up-GaN layer) lightly doped with Mg, and the doping concentration of Mg in the p-GaN layer is 1E16cm -3 -1E17cm -3 The thickness is 5-50nm.
Specifically, minority carriers-holes are mainly generated in the p-type electron blocking layer, the p-type confinement layer and the p-type ohmic contact layer, after a large number of holes are generated in the p-type confinement layer 80 and the highly doped (heavily doped) p-type ohmic contact layer 90, a large number of holes can be generated due to the heavily doped Mg, but because the concentration is inversely proportional to the mobility, the mobility of the holes is very low, if the holes directly enter the p-type electron blocking layer 60 for blocking electrons, the holes are blocked due to the high barrier effect of the same high Al component, the migration speed is reduced again, so that the number of holes passing through the p-type electron blocking layer 60 and entering the light emitting layer 40 is smaller, and the recombination efficiency is lower.
For the fundamental problem of "electron strong and hole weak" in the GaN-based laser, referring to fig. 4, the present invention inserts a p-GaN layer lightly doped with Mg between the second waveguide layer 50 and the p-type confinement layer 80 as a p-type hole acceleration layer, and before the holes enter the p-type electron blocking layer 60, the situation changes because the holes first pass through the p-type hole acceleration layer, firstly, because Mg in the p-GaN layer is lightly doped, the concentration of carriers (holes) in the p-GaN layer is very low, as described above, the mobility of holes in the p-GaN layer is very high, and a large number of holes from the p-type ohmic contact layer 90 and the p-type confinement layer 80 can be accelerated under the driving of the hole concentration difference; secondly, since GaN as a p-type hole acceleration layer has smaller Mg-H bond binding (the wider the forbidden bandwidth, the stronger the ability to release binding), holes can be freely diffused therein, so that the uniformity distribution of holes is enhanced to some extent; then, gaN is lower than the barrier of AlGaN, and a polarization field is easily generated at the AlGaN/GaN interface, which contributes to the tunneling effect of holes at the interface, and the holes moving from the p-type confinement layer to the light emitting layer can be accelerated by the polarization field, so that the holes are not blocked by the p-type electron blocking layer, and a larger number of holes can enter the light emitting layer, so that the probability of recombination of the holes and electrons is increased, and the probability of radiative recombination of the electrons and the holes is improved.
It should be noted that, based on the same principle, a polarizing field in the opposite direction is formed at the interface between the p-type hole acceleration layer and the p-type electron blocking layer, but since the Al content in the p-type confinement layer is greater than the Al content in the p-type electron blocking layer, the strength of the first polarizing field formed between the p-type confinement layer and the p-type hole acceleration layer is greater than the strength of the second polarizing field formed between the p-type electron blocking layer and the p-type hole acceleration layer, and therefore, although the second polarizing field causes a certain resistance to holes moving toward the light emitting layer, the effect of accelerating holes moving from the p-type confinement layer to the light emitting layer can be achieved as a whole.
It will be appreciated that when the p-type hole acceleration layer is disposed between the p-type electron blocking layer and the second waveguide layer, a third polarization field is formed between the p-type electron blocking layer and the p-type hole acceleration layer, and the third polarization field can accelerate holes moving from the p-type confinement layer and the p-type electron blocking layer to the light emitting layer, so that more holes can enter the light emitting layer, and it is noted that the barrier difference between GaN and InGaN is small, the spontaneous polarization effect is weak, and the field strength is small, so that the polarization field is hardly generated at the InGaN/GaN interface.
The GaN-based laser epitaxial structure with the hole acceleration structure is mainly characterized in that the performance of the whole device is improved by inserting the p-GaN hole acceleration layer structure. Specifically, the p-type GaN hole acceleration layer in the GaN-based laser epitaxial structure with the hole acceleration structure can accelerate the migration rate of holes, promote more holes to enter the quantum well luminescent layer, and improve the probability of radiative recombination of the holes and electrons.
The technical scheme, the implementation process and principle of the technical scheme and the implementation process and principle of the technical scheme are further explained with reference to the attached drawings, specific embodiments and comparative examples.

Referring to fig. 2, under the driving effect of high current density, a large amount of electrons with small effective mass and high mobility are flushed from the bottom of the conduction band to the quantum well light emitting layer, while holes with large effective mass and low mobility are flushed from the top of the valence band to the quantum well light emitting layer, and due to the mismatching of the behaviors of the electrons and the holes, the electrons are not fully recombined in the quantum well light emitting layer, a large amount of electrons cross the quantum well light emitting layer to reach the p-type electron blocking layer and annihilate therein, and the holes are blocked by the p-type electron blocking layer in the advancing process, so that the holes which reach the quantum well light emitting layer to be recombined are fewer, and further the radiation recombination efficiency is reduced.
