Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to a semiconductor photovoltaic element. ^ [Prior Art] Light Emitting Diode (LED) is widely used as a light source because of its high brightness, low operating voltage, low power consumption, easy matching with integrated circuits, simple driving, and long life. For use in the field of illumination, see, for example, Joseph Bielecki et al., Literature 2007 IEEE, 23rd IEEE © SEMI-THERM Symposium, Thermal Considerations for LED Components in an Automotive Lamp. A light-emitting diode is a semiconductor component that converts current into light of a specific wavelength range. A photodetector is a semiconductor component that converts light of a particular wavelength range into a current. The gallium nitride-based semiconductor can be used as a light-emitting element of a blue light-emitting diode, and can also be used as a light-absorbing element of a photodetector. The working principle of a gallium nitride-based semiconductor used as a light-emitting element of a blue light-emitting diode is to combine electrons and holes in a gallium nitride-based semiconductor layer by providing a forward bias voltage by a gallium nitride-based semiconductor layer. The combination of the holes and the release of energy to emit light of a specific wavelength, the wavelength range of the light of the specific wavelength depends on the energy gap between the conductive strip and the valence band of the gallium nitride based semiconductor layer, and the gallium nitride based semiconductor layer is generally Produces light with a wavelength in the range of 200 nm to 1.5 μm. The operation principle of the gallium nitride based semiconductor layer as the light absorbing element of the photodetector is that light is incident on the gallium nitride based semiconductor layer, and the gallium nitride based semiconductor layer absorbs light energy under reverse bias and generates electrons. With the hole pair, the current is generated in 201017928. A general gallium nitride based semiconductor layer can be used to detect light in the wavelength range of 200 nm to i.5/zm. Since the structure of the gallium nitride-based semiconductor layer which previously formed the photodetector or the light-emitting diode has a slight difference, the use of the prior gallium nitride-based semiconductor layer is limited.
