Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application may be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

Different from InGaN quantum well materials and GaN quantum barrier materials in white light LEDs, blue light LEDs and green light LEDs, the main material of a light emitting area of a deep ultraviolet (below 280nm) LED is AlGaN, the quantum well material in a long wave ultraviolet (above 365 nm) LED is InGaN, and the quantum barrier material is AlGaN. Among them, in the long-wave ultraviolet (above 365 nm), from 405nm to 365nm, the luminous efficiency of the near ultraviolet LED shows obvious attenuation trend along with the shortening of the wavelength.

The inventor researches and discovers that an electron blocking layer can be added between the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer and the P-type gallium nitride layer to block electrons in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer from migrating into the P-type gallium nitride layer, so that the electron concentration in the multi-quantum well light-emitting layer is improved, and the light-emitting efficiency of the LED is improved. However, the electron blocking layer prevents electrons from migrating into the P-type gallium nitride layer and also prevents holes in the P-type gallium nitride layer from diffusing into the multiple quantum well light-emitting layer, so that improvement of the light-emitting efficiency of the LED is limited.
