Description
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a light emitting diode, and more particularly, to a method of manufacturing a light emitting diode by increasing the electron dispersion efficiency of a light emitting diode epitaxially grown on a C surface of a sapphire substrate and increasing the probability of recombination of holes and electrons with respect to a horizontal plane of the light emitting diode And a manufacturing method thereof.
Generally, a light emitting diode includes a p-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and an n-type semiconductor layer. When electric power is applied thereto, electrons in the n-type semiconductor layer and holes in the p- The electric energy is converted into light energy using the principle of emitting. Such a light emitting diode has advantages of energy conversion efficiency, long life, good light steering, and low voltage driving.
In addition, there is no need for a preheating time, no driving circuit is necessary, and it is strong against impact and vibration, and it is attracting attention as a next generation light source that can replace conventional light sources such as incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps and mercury lamps.
In the light emitting diode, a nitride semiconductor is widely used as a base material. The nitride semiconductor is formed using a homogeneous substrate such as a gallium nitride substrate or a heterogeneous substrate such as sapphire. However, the melting point of gallium nitride is more than 2000 占 폚, and the nitrogen vapor pressure is very high, so that it is difficult to produce the ingot type. Therefore, the nitride semiconductor is generally grown using a heterogeneous substrate such as a sapphire substrate, a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate, a silicon (Si) substrate, or the like.
However, nitride semiconductors manufactured using heterogeneous substrates have high defect densities due to differences in lattice constant and thermal expansion coefficient between the growth substrate and the nitride semiconductor.
In order to solve the problems occurring in such nitride semiconductors, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2013-0013968 discloses a technique of interposing an intermediate layer having a relatively large energy band gap in an n-type semiconductor layer to block defects . However, the intermediate layer has a larger band gap energy than the other semiconductor layers of the n-type semiconductor layer, thereby hindering electrons from being injected into the active layer, thereby increasing the forward voltage of the light emitting device.
FIG. 1 is a view showing the concentration profiles of Al and Si for electron injection of a conventional light emitting diode.
Referring to FIG. 1 (a), even if Al is doped with Si, the injected current can be dispersed in the horizontal direction. However, since the doping is not performed at a high concentration of Si at this time, the dispersion efficiency is not high and the effect of horizontal dispersion of the current is not so large, so that the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting diode may not be high. At this time, doping of Si can be doped by a conventional method.
In order to increase the luminous efficiency of the light emitting diode accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), when doping is performed so that a predetermined peak (or shock) occurs in the Si doping concentration when Si is doped, The horizontal dispersion effect of the injected current can be increased. However, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), when Si doping is performed, the relationship with Al must be specified. Conventionally, the distance between Al and Si is separated by about 500 nm or more, There is a problem that is not big. Accordingly, the effect of the horizontal dispersion of the injected current is not large, so that the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting diode is not high.
In addition, in a light emitting diode, it is difficult for the current supplied generally to be uniformly dispersed in the semiconductor layer in the horizontal direction over the entire light emitting region, and recombination of electrons and holes is mainly performed around the electrode pad. Accordingly, the light emission intensity is lowered in a part of the light emitting region of the conventional light emitting diode, and the overall light emitting efficiency of the light emitting diode is lowered.

Here, the n-type shock layer may be n-type doped with a doping concentration of 1 x 10 18 atoms /
And forming the intermediate layer includes introducing an Al source, a Ga and / or In source, an N source, and an n-type dopant source into the growth chamber to grow the first sub-intermediate layer; And stopping the introduction of the Al source gas and the n-type dopant source, and continuously introducing the Ga and / or In source and N source gas into the growth chamber to grow the second sub-intermediate layer, And forming a repetitive laminated structure of the first sub-intermediate layer and the second sub-intermediate layer.
At this time, the n-type dopant concentration of the first sub-intermediate layer may increase as the respective steps are periodically repeated.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of fabricating a light emitting diode including: disposing a growth substrate in a growth chamber; Forming an n-type nitride semiconductor layer on the growth substrate; Forming an active layer on the n-type nitride semiconductor layer; And forming a p-type nitride semiconductor layer on the active layer, wherein the step of forming the n-type nitride semiconductor layer includes forming a p-type nitride semiconductor layer on the growth substrate to inject electrons into the active layer, Forming an n-type shock modulation layer including a shock layer; And forming an intermediate layer for dispersing electrons injected from the n-type shock modulation layer into the active layer, wherein the shock layer can be formed to partially overlap the heavily doped peak of the intermediate layer.

According to the present invention, since the n-type nitride layer doped at a high concentration is formed adjacent to the intermediate layer containing AlGaN, injected electrons can distribute the electrons evenly in the horizontal direction in the intermediate layer.

Thus, growing the n-type
For example, referring to FIG. 10B, the n-type dopant source is supplied at the first flow rate f1 for a time T1, and the introduction flow rate for the time T3 after the time T1 is the second flow rate f2 at the first flow rate f1, And is supplied to the second flow rate f2 for the time T2 after the time T3 and again for the time period T4 after the time T2 to the first flow rate f1 from the second flow rate f2 to the first flow rate f1 Can be grown by repeating the increasing period P2.
10A and 10B, it is explained that the introduction flow rate of the n-type dopant source repeatedly changes in the first flow rate f1 and the second flow rate f2, but the present invention is not limited thereto , the introduction flow rate of the n-type dopant source may vary continuously.
For example, as shown in FIG. 10C, when the n-type dopant source is introduced into the growth chamber along the period of P3 to P5, the maximum flow rate in each cycle is increased from P3 to P5, The introduced flow rate may be adjusted. That is, when the maximum flow rate in each cycle is defined as a first flow rate at the time of growing the n-type
It should be noted, however, that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples, and it is the scope of the present invention to change the introduction flow rate of the n-type dopant source with increasing and decreasing in the growth of the n-type

As shown in FIG. 14B, the bandgap along the shock layer is as shown in FIG. 14, and as shown in FIG. 15, the SIMS data show that the shock layer due to Si doping is a 2DEG peak composed of Al And the slope of the shock layer is gently formed. At this time, in another embodiment of the present invention, the shock layer can be formed within 100 nm from the 2DEG peak.
FIG. 16 (a) is a view showing Vf and power of a conventional light emitting diode, and FIG. 16 (b) is a view showing Vf and power of a light emitting diode according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Accordingly, the data according to FIG. 16 (a) and FIG. 16 (b) can be compared as shown in Table 1. As a result, it can be seen that the Vf of the LED according to another embodiment of the present invention is reduced by about 0.084 V, and the power is reduced by about 0.26%.

Here, the Si gradation layer may be formed by gradually reducing the flow of SiH 4 , and may be formed by heating in a state in which the source is shut off, and then slowly depositing Si in the chamber.
Fig. 16 (a) of the prior art shows no Si gradation layer as described above, and Fig. 16 (b) shows a Si shock layer and a Si gradation layer.
As a result, when the injection efficiency of electrons into the 2DEG was examined, it was confirmed that the operation voltage was reduced by about 3% although the difference in luminous intensity was similar as a result of injecting the Si shock layer.
17 to 19 are diagrams showing simulation results of a light emitting diode according to another embodiment of the present invention.
The conditions for performing the simulation as shown in FIGS. 17 to 19 are as follows. Using a simulation tool called SiLENSe, the dislocation density is 1E8 cm -2 and the conduction band DOS tail of the quantum well layer is 0.035 eV. The basic structure is shown in Table 2.

Here, when the operating current is observed, the highest value appears at 2E19, and the 2DEG can be extended toward the n-layer in the Si doping. This indicates that the electron density in the vertical direction is injected and the dispersion is improved in the horizontal direction. However, if the concentration becomes higher than a certain level, the Si dopant atoms act as a resistor and can inhibit the horizontal dispersion.
Referring to FIG. 18, the operating current and IQE at a constant voltage of 3.8 V are shown. The Si shock layer thickness is 20 nm and the doping concentration is 2E19.
