[Previous technology] According to the general, blue light emitting elements can generally be divided into two types: light emitting diodes and laser diodes. Take the light-emitting monopole as an example, please refer to the eighth figure, which mainly uses organic vapor deposition (MOCVD) or molecular beam stupid crystal (MBE) technology. First, a ^ bufer * layei ^ —M # udeati () n layef) must be sequentially grown on a sapphire substrate, a silicon carbide substrate (Sic), or a silicon substrate (Si). A heterogeneous gallium nitride layer, a multiple quantum well (Multip e Quantum Wd0) active layer, and a p-type doped (Mg_doped) gallium nitride layer overlying the multiple quantum well active layer. The above n-type and p-type GaN layers have metal contacts on the separation of duties. The biggest difference between laser diodes and light-emitting diodes is that the number of growth cycles of the laser diodes above and below the quantum well layer is different. Indeterminate Brass Reflective Layer (DBR). At the heart, ^ Qi Guang Er plies its silk layer ㈣ 6 coffee receiving well (wel1) group indium gallium nitride (InGaN), and the barrier component is gallium nitride (aN However, the court-like combination has the following disadvantages. Therefore, the two-use light-emitting diodes and laser diodes, due to their structure and components, make them less efficient and cannot Efficient lifting. The Z-diodes will grow nitride scales before they are covered with P-type gallium nitride. The difference does not vary greatly = 2 days from Γ to grow the temperature of nitriding (A1GaN) and the temperature of the active energy to spend a lot of time. In view of the above-mentioned problems of the two poles, actively seek a solution, and finally succeeded. = Ice into W, a sub-light-emitting element. Blue light 6 1232601 with multiple quantum energy barriers is introduced [Content of the invention] === Blue light-emitting element of baryon energy barrier & —Provide a working wire—buffer layer,-, .., said, n-type bite doped GaN layer,-multiple quantum well main layer with energy barrier region: make money again-layer P Wei _ nitrogen transfer layer And the n-type nitrided layer and faceted ± metal contacts.

Next, a preferred embodiment will be given, and further explanation will be given in conjunction with the drawings and numbers to make your review committee Have a more detailed understanding of the present invention, but the following are only used to explain the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Therefore, anyone who follows the creative spirit of the present invention As a basis, any form of modification or alteration of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the present invention. [Embodiment] According to the general blue light emitting element, it can be generally divided into a light emitting diode and a laser diode. There are two types. The following describes the present invention by taking a light emitting diode as an example. The light-emitting diode can use the technology of organic vapor deposition (MOCVD) or molecular beam epitaxy (Mbe). This embodiment starts with the technical aspects of molecular beam epitaxy. Change to a multi-quantum barrier bP (MQB) with a high effective barrier height. Please refer to the first figure. Firstly, a buffer layer, a nucleation layer, and a crystalline layer are sequentially grown on a sapphire substrate, a silicon carbide substrate (SiC), or a silicon substrate (Si). An n-type silicon-doped (Si-dopped) gallium nitride (GaN) layer, and a multiple quantum well (active layer). After the growth is completed, a p-type magnesium doped (Mg_doped) gallium nitride layer is attached, and metal contacts are plated on the n-type and p-type gallium nitride layers, respectively. The biggest difference between this embodiment and the conventional light-emitting diodes is that the well system 1232601 of the present invention is composed of indium gallium nitride (InGaN), while the energy barrier region () 3arrier) is made of gallium nitride (GaN) ) And indium gallium nitride (InGaN), instead of the conventional light-emitting diodes, simply use nitride and gallium to form the energy barrier region. Therefore, the energy barrier region of this embodiment has a high efficiency barrier height and Improve component characteristics. In order for your examiner to understand all the characteristics of the present invention, the following diagram (experimental data) is used to compare the important characteristics of the present invention with the conventional blue light-emitting element. Please refer to the second figure, which shows the light emission spectrum of the present invention at an absolute temperature of three Baidu and a current intensity of 20 mA. Among them, the composition of qW is Inoi5Ga85N, S1 and S2 respectively represent the difference in the x content in InxGaixN in the multiple quantum well barrier, where S2 > S1, and when the X value of S1 is equal to zero, the X value of S2 is equal to 0. 〇5.
