Description

High-brightness light-emitting diode
Technical Field
The present invention relates to light emitting diode (L ED) technology with a metal coated reflective permanent substrate.
Background
A cross-sectional view of a conventional light emitting diode is shown in fig. 1, and a light emitting diode 100 includes a semiconductor substrate 102, a first ohmic contact electrode 101 formed on a rear side of the semiconductor substrate 102, a light emitting region 103 formed on the semiconductor substrate 102, and a second ohmic contact electrode 106 formed on the light emitting region 103. The light emitting region 103 is composed of a p-type region and an n-type region, and is grown on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate 102, and due to a current crowding effect, an emission angle of light is limited, and light absorption by the substrate is limited, so that the light emitting diode is not strong in illuminance. Most of the light emitting region 103 has a lattice constant matching that of the gallium arsenide substrate, i.e., the visible light emitting diode is fabricated directly on the gallium arsenide substrate 102. Since the energy gap of gallium arsenide is smaller than that of visible light by 1.43eV and light emitted from the diode is isotropic, part of the light enters the substrate and is absorbed by the gallium arsenide substrate, so that the illuminance of the light emitting diode is not strong.
In order to enhance the brightness of the diode, the following two schemes are currently adopted:
as shown in fig. 2, the structure of the led 200 is composed of a transparent window layer 204 grown on the led 100 shown in fig. 1, through which the current crowding effect of the conventional led is reduced and the current divergence is increased. Suitable materials for the transparent window layer 204 are GaP, GaAsP, AlGaAs, etc., with an energy GaP larger than that of the AlGaInP light emitting region, in which case the critical angle of emitted light can be increased, reducing the current crowding effect, and thus enhancing the illumination of the led. In terms of electrical characteristics, since the uppermost layer of the transparent window layer 204 and the material on the AlGaInP light generation region have a heterojunction, the energy gap difference causes an increase in the forward bias voltage vf of the light emitting diode, and as a result, the power consumption of the light emitting diode increases.
As shown in fig. 3, the light emitting diode includes a semiconductor substrate 302, a lower multi-layer reflector 305 formed on the semiconductor substrate 302, a light emitting region 303 formed on the lower multi-layer reflector 305, an upper multi-layer reflector 304 formed on the light emitting region 303, a first ohmic contact electrode 306 formed on the upper multi-layer reflector 304, and a second ohmic contact electrode 301 formed on the rear side of the semiconductor substrate 302. light emitted from the light emitting diode is reflected back by the semiconductor multi-layer reflector, i.e., a Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR), so as to increase the illumination intensity of light, in the light emitting diode of the related art, the multi-layer reflector 305 of the lower layer reflects 90% of light emitted from the light emitting diode to a light absorbing substrate, while the multi-layer reflector of the upper layer guides the light to the upper surface of the light emitting diode, thereby increasing the illumination intensity of light, therefore, the absorption problem of the substrate to the light is alleviated, the problem related to the limited critical angle is also improved, but the problem of poor influence of the gap is increased due to the many heterojunctions of the multi-layer reflector, thereby increasing the forward bias Vf. to the incident light, as shown in fig. 3, the problem of the light emitting diode, the difficulty of increasing the difficulty of manufacturing of the conventional gallium arsenide based on the conventional light emitting diode due to the difficulty of increasing the difficulty of the conventional light emitting diode due to the difficulty of increasing the difficulty of the conventional technology of manufacturing a thin epitaxial layer of the conventional light emitting diode due to increase of the conventional light emitting diode due to the difficulty of the conventional light emitting diode due to the difficulty of removing.
