Description
Embodiments relate to a light emitting device, a method of manufacturing the light emitting device, a light emitting device package and an illumination system.
Light emitting devices (LEDs) are p-n junction diodes whose electrical energy is converted into light energy. LED can realize various colors by adjusting the composition ratio of compound semiconductors.
The epitaxial structure used in the light emitting device includes an electron injection layer, a light emitting layer, and a hole injection layer, and in the case of a horizontal type LED, the electron injection layer is exposed through mesa etching in the grown epitaxial structure. After that, n-contact is formed. On the other hand, the electrons injected through the n-contact have a characteristic of flowing close to the contact portion, so that the undoped nitriding for dispersing the injected electrons to the entire area before reaching the multi-quantum well layer of the light emitting layer A gallium layer (undoped-GaN layer) is introduced as a current spreading layer.
According to this conventional technique, the current diffusion layer contributes to the function of current dispersion, but on the other hand, the injected electrons are difficult to move to the quantum well layer of the light emitting layer, and thus a large amount of emission loss of electrons that cannot pass is caused. There is a problem.
Embodiments provide a light emitting device, a method of manufacturing a light emitting device, a light emitting device package, and an illumination system, which may provide a current spreading function and improve electrical characteristics and increase brightness.
