Description

LED epitaxial wafer, preparation method and LED chip
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer, a preparation method and an LED chip.
Background
Semiconductor light emitting diodes can convert electrical energy into light energy. The LED is a solid-state light source, has the characteristics of relatively low energy consumption, rapid response, small volume and the like, and can be applied to multiple scenes such as common illumination, backlight and the like. The LED has gradually replaced the conventional illumination light source by virtue of its high light efficiency, and has become a new generation of light source, resulting in a new illumination revolution.
To reduce the resistance of hole injection into the active region, P-type semiconductors are typically designed to be thin, within about 200 nm. Because the GaN background carrier concentration of MOCVD growth is higher (electrons), the activation energy of adding Mg is larger, and the Mg doping concentration in the P-type semiconductor is about 2x10 20 atoms/cm 3 About, too high Mg doping concentration can damage crystal quality, while a lower doping concentration can affect hole concentration.
However, the energy level of the Mg acceptor is deep, about 170meV, and the ionization rate of Mg at room temperature is only about 1%; secondly, part of defects extend from the multiple quantum well layer to the P-type semiconductor layer, so that the P-type semiconductor layer leaks electricity, and the photoelectric performance is reduced; finally, since the effective mass of holes is much larger than electrons, the transfer speed is also lower than that of electrons, and thus the quantum efficiency of holes injected into electrons is also lower, thereby affecting the improvement of luminous efficiency.
