The LED epitaxial growth process faces a plurality of technical difficulties, such as smaller effective mass of electrons and higher mobility, so that electrons can easily overflow to the P layer through the quantum well; for example, the doping of P-type GaN is difficult, the activation efficiency of the dopant Mg is low, which results in insufficient holes, and the mobility of holes is very low, which results in the reduction of the efficiency of radiative recombination of electron holes, and the activation efficiency, mobility and epitaxial layer crystal quality of holes are further reduced with the increase of Al components, which results in the reduction of the luminous efficiency of the LED; in addition, polarization electric fields exist between the well barriers due to lattice mismatch, so that the energy bands of the well barriers are inclined, the interfaces of the well barriers are unclear, and electron holes in the quantum well are unevenly distributed, so that the overlapping rate of electron-hole wave functions in the quantum well is reduced, finally, the radiation recombination efficiency is reduced, and the performance and the application of the light-emitting diode are severely limited.
