1 is a view showing an ultraviolet light emitting device according to the embodiment.

The ultraviolet light emitting device illustrated in FIG. 1 may emit light in an ultraviolet region. As an example, the ultraviolet light emitting device illustrated in FIG. 1 may emit ultraviolet light having a wavelength within a range of 360 nm to 400 nm.

Referring to FIG. 1, the ultraviolet light emitting device according to the embodiment may include a substrate 100, a buffer layer 200, a first conductivity type semiconductor layer 300, an active layer 400, and a second conductivity type. The semiconductor layer 500, an electron blocking layer (EBL, 600), and a p-type gallium nitride (p-GaN) layer 700 may be included.

Here, the substrate 100 is not limited to the materials described above, but the first conductive semiconductor layer 300, the active layer 400, the second conductive semiconductor layer 500, the electron blocking layer 600, and the p-type. It is to be understood that the substrate includes any substrate capable of sequentially growing the gallium nitride layer 700.

The buffer layer 200 is disposed between the substrate 100 and the first conductivity type semiconductor layer 300. The buffer layer 200 may mitigate dislocations, cracks, or warps that may be caused by heterojunction between the substrate 100 and the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer 300. .

The buffer layer 200 may be a nitride semiconductor including Ga d Al 1 -d N (d is 0 <d ≦ 1). The smaller the ratio of aluminum (Al) is, the more remarkably improved the crystallinity is, therefore, it is preferable to use a nitride semiconductor with small aluminum (Al). Therefore, the use of GaN as the material for the buffer layer 200 is most preferred.

The thickness of the buffer layer 200 may be in a range of 0.002 to 0.5 μm, preferably 0.005 to 0.2 μm, more preferably 0.01 to 0.02 μm. If the thickness of the buffer layer 200 is in the above range, the crystal morphology of the nitride semiconductor may be improved, and the crystallinity of the first conductive semiconductor layer 300 grown on the buffer layer 200 may be improved. .

Vf will hardly be lowered if the concentration of dopant is out of this range. In addition, when the first conductivity type semiconductor layer 300 is formed on u-GaN having good crystallinity, it may have good crystallinity even though it contains a high concentration of n-type dopant. Although the upper limit of the concentration of the n-type dopant is not limited, in order to retain good crystallinity, the upper limit is preferably 5 × 10 21 / cm 3 or less.

Here, the first layer may be n-GaN, and the second layer may have a multi-layered structure in which n-GaN layers and u-GaN layers are alternately stacked.

The overall thickness of the second conductive layer 330 may be approximately 14,000 kPa. In this case, when the second conductive layer 330 is formed of the first layer and the second layer, the thickness of the first layer may be about 10,000 mW and the thickness of the second layer may be about 4,000 mW.

The second superlattice layer 340 may have a superlattice structure in which a plurality of layers are repeated a plurality of times. In the second superlattice layer 340, the first to fourth layers 341, 342, 343, and 344 may be repeated about 15 times. Here, the first layer 341 may be n-GaN, the second layer 342 may be InGaN, the third layer 343 may be GaN, and the fourth layer 344 may be InGaN. The second superlattice layer 330 may be formed to a thickness of approximately 1,200 Å.

When the first superlattice layer 320 and the second superlattice layer 340 are combined, the light emission output of the light emitting device according to the embodiment may be further improved, and the forward voltage Vf may be further reduced. The reason is not yet determined, but it is expected that the crystallinity of the active layer 400 grown on the second superlattice layer 340 can be improved.

However, the order of stacking the barrier layer and the quantum well layer may be laminated from the quantum well layer to the quantum well layer, or may be laminated from the quantum well layer to the barrier layer. In addition, the barrier layer may be laminated from the barrier layer to the barrier layer, or may be laminated from the barrier layer to the quantum well layer.

The second conductivity type semiconductor layer 500 may be formed on the active layer 400. More specifically, the second conductivity type semiconductor layer 500 may be formed on the electron blocking layer 600.

For example, the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer 500 may be a p-type semiconductor layer, and the material may be GaN containing no In or Al. The material of the second conductive semiconductor layer 500 is not limited.

The second conductive semiconductor layer 500 is doped with p-type dopants such as Mg and Ba. Here, when the p-type dopant is Mg, the p-type characteristic is easily obtained, and the ohmic contact is easy to be obtained. The concentration of Mg may be 1 × 10 18 / cm 3 to 1 × 10 21 / cm 3, preferably 5 × 10 19 / cm 3 to 3 × 10 20 / cm 3, more preferably 1 × 10 20 / cm 3.

The electron blocking layer 600 may be a semiconductor material having a larger energy band gap than the second conductivity type semiconductor layer 500, for example, AlGaN. The electron blocking layer 600 may effectively prevent electrons provided from the first conductive semiconductor layer 300 from overflowing to the second conductive semiconductor layer 500 without being recombined in the active layer 400.

The thickness of the electron blocking layer 600 may be approximately 300 mm.

Here, the thickness of the p-type gallium nitride layer 700 may be 10 kPa or more and 15 kPa or less. If the thickness of the p-type gallium nitride layer 700 is less than 10 μs, it is difficult to prevent a hole shortage phenomenon, and if the thickness of the p-type gallium nitride layer 700 is greater than 15 μm, the power of light emitted from the ultraviolet light emitting device according to the exemplary embodiment ( There is a problem of falling power.
