Abstract
The present invention provides an LED component and a manufacturing method thereof. A buffer layer is grown on the surface of a substrate firstly, and then an LED structure is grown on the buffer layer, wherein the LED structure comprises a p-type quantum dot crystal stacking layer on a p-type gallium nitride layer. Because the p-type quantum dot crystal stacking layer has roughening scattering effect, the travel route of light beams emitted from a light emitting layer formed from multiple layers of InGaN quantum well structure layer is changed, and the probability of internal full reflection is reduced. Thereby, the publicly known roughening procedure can be simplified effectively, and light emitting efficiency can be promoted.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of light-emitting diode and manufacture method thereof, particularly relate to light emitting diode construction and the manufacture method thereof of a kind of p of comprising type quantum dot epitaxial layer on p type gallium nitride layer.
Background technology
Because light LED material, refraction coefficient is widely different between three-five families (III-V) gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor refraction coefficients (n=2.3) and air (n=1), make its cirtical angle of total reflection have only 25 degree approximately, the light that causes luminescent layer to produce, major part can only can not escape out at inner full-reflection, in order to change the shortcoming of this interface, in known technology, someone proposes semiconductor surface is carried out alligatoring, light is come out from luminescent layer after through the roughened layer interface.Because of the scattering properties of roughened layer interface changes the travel path of light, even so also there is the probability of total reflection, but the probability that light exhales has increased, this technology is as document (IEEE Transcations on ElectronDevices, 47 (7), 1492,2000) described.The mode of known technology alligatoring mainly is to reach with etching method on surface of heap of stone brilliant, as at United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 040, in No. 044, has disclosed and has utilized chemical etching with alligatoring light-emitting component surface, increases the luminous efficiency effect so as to reaching.Other related datas also have United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 429, and No. 954 and the 5th, 898, No. 192 etc.Yet, only being applied in the red light-emitting diode in the mode of above-mentioned manufacture process processing, this mainly is based on its materials processing characteristic and is easier to.But with respect to gallium nitride series material and inapplicable, this is because gallium nitride series material does not have very strong acid and alkali-resistance characteristic, when Wet-type etching and be not easy control.Though and the employing dry etching can overcome aforesaid Wet-type etching problem, causes the damage of epitaxial layer easily.Especially p type gallium nitride layer (p-GaN) very easily therefore causes resistance to rise, and influences CURRENT DISTRIBUTION, the deterioration luminous efficiency.And the very thin thickness (0.1~0.3 μ m) of the common deposition of p type gallium nitride layer, if directly alligatoring p type gallium nitride layer then may destroy luminescent layer, cause the shortcoming that light-emitting area is reduced.In addition, generally be useful in the transparency electrode on the gallium nitride light-emitting diode,, must keep very thin thickness (10nm) for the good cause of printing opacity.Add man-hour in alligatoring, will be destroyed and cause the discontinuous of transparency electrode, also can cause harmful effect simultaneously, and reduce luminous efficiency CURRENT DISTRIBUTION.Therefore, unless p type gallium nitride layer can deposit enough thick thickness, just might carry out dry etching, but blocked up p type gallium nitride layer can make the electric current dispersion and cause luminous efficiency to reduce, and the scheme of therefore direct alligatoring p type gallium nitride layer seems and is difficult to carry out.

In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes to utilize brilliant mode of heap of stone to reach the effect of alligatoring, so as to improving gallium nitride series emitting component, the present invention has disclosed a kind of method of alligatoring gallium nitride layer light-emitting component, compare with known technology, the present invention can obtain the obviously luminous efficiency of lifting.
Main purpose of the present invention is: in the light emitting diode construction of building crystal to grow, growth p type quantum dot epitaxial layer on p type gallium nitride layer surface, utilize the characteristic with alligatoring dispersion effect of the p type quantum dot epitaxial layer of gallium nitride series, can simplify known effectively for to make light emitting diode construction have the coarsening process of good alligatoring dispersion effect.
Another object of the present invention is: by p type quantum dot epitaxial layer, the light that luminescent layer came out that InGaN (InGaN) multiple quantum trap structure layer is formed, because of the alligatoring dispersion effect of p type quantum dot epitaxial layer changes the light course, reduce the probability of inner full-reflection, promote luminous efficiency.
