Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a light emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a light emitting device using a nitride and a method for manufacturing the same.
In general, nitrides such as GaN, AlN, InN, and the like have a high thermal stability and have a direct transition type energy band structure, which has recently attracted much attention as a material for optoelectronic devices. In particular, GaN can be used in high temperature high power devices because the energy bandgap is very large at 3.4 eV at room temperature.
A light emitting device (LED) using nitride generates electrons and holes by using a P-N junction structure of a compound semiconductor, and emits predetermined light by recombination thereof. Such a light emitting device is used in a backlight unit or a lighting device of a display device, and consumes only a few to one tenths of the power of a conventional light bulb or a fluorescent lamp. It is advantageous.
Such a light emitting device is generally composed of an N-type GaN layer, an active layer, and a P-type GaN layer formed on a substrate, and an N-type electrode and a P-type electrode connected to the N-type GaN layer and the P-type GaN layer, respectively. Here, the active layer is a region where electrons and holes are recombined, and is composed of a quantum well layer of InGaN and a barrier layer of GaN. In addition, the emission wavelength emitted from the light emitting diode is determined according to the type of the material forming the active layer.
The active layer may improve the GaN crystalline of the barrier layer by forming the barrier layer at a temperature higher than the temperature at which the quantum well layer is formed. However, phase separation of In of the quantum well layer occurs, thereby causing a defect of the quantum well layer. Such defects lower efficiency and electrical characteristics.
The present invention provides a light emitting device capable of preventing phase separation of a quantum well layer and improving the crystallinity of the barrier layer when forming the barrier layer after forming the quantum well layer and a method of manufacturing the same.
The present invention provides a light emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein a part of the barrier layer is formed at the same temperature as the quantum well layer and the rest of the barrier layer is formed at a temperature higher than the quantum well layer formation temperature.
In the light emitting device according to the aspect of the present invention, a first semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second semiconductor layer are stacked on a substrate, and the active layer is formed by stacking a plurality of quantum well layers and barrier layers, and the quantum well layer and the A portion of the barrier layer in contact with the quantum well layer is formed at a first temperature, and the remainder of the barrier layer is formed at a second temperature higher than the first temperature.
The second temperature is maintained at a constant temperature, continuously rises or rises in stages.
The remainder of the barrier layer formed at the second temperature is the same or thicker than the portion of the barrier layer formed at the first temperature.
A method of manufacturing a light emitting device according to another aspect of the present invention includes the steps of forming a first semiconductor layer on a substrate; Forming a quantum well layer on the first semiconductor layer at a first temperature; Forming a portion of the barrier layer at the first temperature on the quantum well layer; Forming a remainder of the barrier layer at a second temperature higher than the first temperature; And forming a second semiconductor layer on the barrier layer.
The quantum well layer and the barrier layer are repeatedly formed a plurality of times.
The second temperature is maintained at a constant temperature, continuously raised or gradually increased.
The remainder of the barrier layer formed at the second temperature is the same or thicker than the portion of the barrier layer formed at the first temperature.
Embodiments of the present invention by stacking a plurality of quantum well layer and the barrier layer to form an active layer, forming a part of the barrier layer at the same temperature as the formation temperature of the quantum well layer, and forms the rest of the barrier layer at a higher temperature . That is, the barrier layer is formed at two different temperatures, wherein the first barrier layer on the quantum well layer is formed at the same temperature as the quantum well layer, and the second barrier layer on the first barrier layer is at a higher temperature than the first barrier layer. Form.
According to the present invention, phase separation of the quantum well layer can be prevented by forming a part of the barrier layer at the same temperature as the formation temperature of the quantum well layer. Therefore, defect generation in the quantum well layer can be suppressed, thereby improving efficiency and electrical characteristics. In addition, by forming the remainder of the barrier layer at a temperature higher than a portion of the barrier layer in contact with the quantum well layer, it is possible to improve the crystallinity of the barrier layer, thereby improving the brightness and electrical properties.

[Table 1] shows an embodiment of the present invention and a quantum well layer in which a part of the barrier layer is formed at the same first temperature as the formation temperature of the quantum well layer and the rest of the barrier layer is formed at a second temperature higher than the first temperature. The wavelength, brightness and electrical characteristics of the conventional comparative example forming the entire barrier layer at a second temperature higher than the formation temperature are compared. Here, the second temperature is 65 ° C higher than the formation temperature of the quantum well layer, and the barrier layer is formed of InGaN. In addition, the electrical characteristics were measured when the ratio of the light emitting device that is normally operating without being destroyed when applying an ESD of 2000V.
As shown in Table 1, compared with the embodiment, the wavelength shifts to the shorter wavelength. This is because phase separation of InGaN of InGaN occurs due to thermal damage due to high temperature growth, and accordingly, In is volatilized to decrease In content. In addition, it can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention is also excellent in brightness and electrical properties compared to the comparative example. This is because InGaN In (metallic In cluster) is generated by thermal damage due to high temperature growth, and the ESD characteristics are reduced by current concentration due to high resistance. In addition, the luminance characteristic is deteriorated due to an increase in the non-radiative recombination region.
