Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a pn junction type m-nitride semiconductor light-emitting device having a multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer, which contains I [[substrate and resistance of a family of nitride semiconductors] The barrier layer is periodically interleaved between the n-type cladding layer and the p-type cladding layer formed on the crystalline substrate and containing the quaternary nitride semiconductor. [Prior Art] A group m nitride semiconductor is generally used as a functional material of a group m nitride semiconductor light-emitting device constituting a PN heterojunction structure such as a light-emitting diode # (LED), which emits short-wavelength visible light (see JP- A 2 00 0-332364). For example, when forming an LED that emits light in a near-ultraviolet, blue, or green region, it uses n-type or p-type aluminum gallium nitride (AlxGaYN: 0 $ X, YS1' X+Y=l) Form a coating (see jp_A 2003-229645). Indium gallium nitride (GaYInzN: OS Y, ZS 1, Υ + Ζ = 1) is used to form an active layer (light-emitting layer) (see JP-B SHO 55-3 834). A technique for forming a light-emitting layer from a single GaYInzN (〇$Y, ZS1, Y+Z=l) has been previously disclosed (see JP-B SHO 55-3834). An embodiment in which a light-emitting layer is formed of a superlattice structure called a quantum well structure is also known (see JP-A 200 1 - 102 6 29 ). The quantum well structure is a structure in which the barrier layer and the well layer are periodically staggered and stacked (see J p _ A 2 0 0 0 - 1 3 3 8 8 3 ). For example, the disclosed embodiment uses a GaG.7 InQ 3N layer as a well layer and gallium nitride (GaN) as a barrier layer, and a multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer (see the example in jp_A 2000-01829) However, in the prior art, the two end faces of the luminescent layer are not limited to the 1255053 ^ barrier layer, and when one end face is a well layer, the carrier (electron) is easily spread to the cladding via the well layer, and has The light output will be reduced by the same amount. Even if the other end surface of the light-emitting layer contacting the P-type cladding layer is formed with a barrier layer, if the thickness of the barrier layer is insufficient, the carrier from the n-type cladding layer flows to the p-type cladding layer. The present invention has been made in view of the foregoing, and an object of the present invention is to provide a ρν junction type m-nitride semiconductor light-emitting device, even though the luminescent layer is a large amount. • When the sub-well structure is used, it can still suppress the dispersion of the carrier to the cladding layer, and greatly increase the light-emitting output. To achieve the foregoing, the present invention provides a PN-bonded melon-type nitride having a multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer. a semiconductor light-emitting device in which a well layer and a barrier layer containing a nitride semiconductor are periodically interleaved and stacked between an n-type cladding layer and a p-type cladding layer formed on a crystalline substrate and containing an H-type nitride semiconductor. Wherein one end layer of the luminescent layer is closest to and facing the n-type cladding layer, and the other end surface layer of the luminescent layer is closest to and facing the p-type cladding layer, the one end Φ surface layer and the other end surface layer being barrier The layer, and the other end face layer is thicker than the barrier layer of the one end face layer. In the meandering-type bismuth nitride semiconductor light-emitting device, the thickness of each barrier layer is from the one end face layer to the other end face layer In the first and second mentioned ρν junction type m-type nitride semiconductors, the impurity concentration of the other end face layer is lower at the junction portion with the well layer, and the middle portion is the highest. And gradually decreasing from the intermediate portion to the P-type cladding layer. In the first to third mentioned PN junction type lanthanum nitride semiconductor 1255053. In any one of the 'end surface layer has been bonded with an unintentionally doped impurity Well layer. According to the invention, in a multi-quantum well In the light-emitting layer, the thin layer forming the two end faces of the light-emitting layer is a barrier layer. Since the carrier is sealed in the well layer, the carrier is prevented from being scattered to the cladding layer, and the light-emitting output is improved. Contact with the P-type cladding layer The other end face layer of the barrier layer forming the two end faces of the multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer is thicker than the one end face layer. Therefore, the carrier from the n-type cladding layer does not flow to the p-type cladding layer, and the light-emitting output can be improved. According to the invention, the luminous efficiency can be increased by about 1.5 times. Therefore, the luminous output and the luminous conversion efficiency of the LED lamp can be improved by about 1.5 times, and energy can be saved. According to the invention, the thickness of each barrier layer is formed by the one end face. The layer is gradually increased toward the other end face layer. Therefore, the carrier can be more closely packed in the well layer. In this case, the thickness of each barrier layer is preferably set so that the wavelength of the light emitted from the well layer does not change. Counting. Further, the impurity concentration of the other end face layer is lower at the junction portion with the well layer, and the concentration is the highest in the middle portion thereof, and is gradually decreased from the intermediate portion to the P-type cladding layer. Therefore, the environment affecting the well layers in contact with other layers and the charging efficiency of the holes in the multi-quantum well layer are all satisfied. Further, a well layer not intentionally doped with impurities is bonded to the other end face layer. Therefore, the well layer crystallinity and luminous efficiency can be improved. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. According to the invention, the PN junction type cerium nitride semiconductor light-emitting device is formed of 1255053 in an n-type or p-type quaternary nitride semiconductor layer formed on a crystal substrate, in particular, formed on a single crystal substrate. That is, the pn junction type m-nitride semiconductor light-emitting device of the present invention has a multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer in which a well layer and a barrier layer containing a group m nitride semiconductor are periodically stacked alternately on a crystalline substrate and The one end layer of the 'light-emitting layer' between the n-type cladding layer and the p-type cladding layer containing the cuban nitride semiconductor is closest to the n-type cladding layer, and the other end surface layer of the light-emitting layer is closest and positive In the Ρ-type cladding layer, the one end surface layer and the other end surface layer are both barrier layers, and the other end surface layer is thicker than the barrier layer of the one end surface layer.

When a bismuth nitride semiconductor layer is formed, a single crystal is used as a base material. The following materials can be used as substrate materials: oxide single crystal materials such as samarium (cx-A1203 single crystal), zinc oxide (ZnO) and lithium gallium oxide (LiGaO 2 ) having a relatively high melting point and heat resistance, such as germanium (Si) a group IV semiconductor single crystal of a single crystal, a cubic crystal and a hexagonal tantalum carbide, and a bismuth-V compound semiconductor crystal material such as gallium phosphide (GaP). Light permeable, single crystal material that is permeable to light from the luminescent layer can be effectively used as a substrate.
設於單晶基板上的η型與ρ型Π族氮化物半導體層(覆 層)具有組成物化學式爲 AlxGaYlnzNuMa的組成物 (OgXgl,0SYS1,0SZS1,Χ+γ+Ζ=1,符號 μ 代表 異於氮的V族元素,以及0 S a < 1 )。當於單晶基板與形成 在基板上的瓜族氮化物半導體層(覆層)之間有晶格失配存 在時,最好將調適該失配並成爲具有極佳結晶度上層的低或 高溫緩衝層置於這些層之間。緩衝層可由諸如氮化鋁鎵 (AlxGaYN: 0SXS1,0‘YS1,Χ+Υ=ι)所形成。 1255053 η型與p型覆層不一定要由具相同組成物比例的1Π族氮 化物半導體材料所形成。例如,η型覆層可由氮化鎵(G aN ) 形成,而P型覆層可由氮化鋁鎵(AlxGaYN )形成。η型與p 型覆層最好是由能帶間隙較組成發光層量子井結構之阻障 層爲大的m族氮化物半導體材料所形成。 配置於η型覆層與p型覆層間的發光層爲多量子井結 構,其中由Π族氮化物半導體所形成的井層與阻障層係週期 性交錯堆疊,且二個端面層(一端面層與另一端面層)爲阻 φ 障層。此乃因更有效避免載體向η型與p型覆層散佈。在組 成本發明發光層的薄層中,最靠近並正對於η型覆層的該一 端面層及最靠近並正對於Ρ型覆層的該另一端面層爲阻障 層。 井層由能帶間隙小於阻障層的HI族氮化物半導體所形 成。例如,井層由氮化鎵銦所形成(GaYInzN : 0‘ YS 1, 〇SZgl,Y+Z=l) 。GaYInzN的銦組成物比例(鎵組成物 比例)係經適當選擇,以獲得希冀波長的光。發射近紫外光 #

When there is a lattice mismatch between the single crystal substrate and the quaternary nitride semiconductor layer (cladding) formed on the substrate, it is preferable to adjust the mismatch and become a low or high temperature having an excellent crystallinity upper layer. A buffer layer is placed between the layers. The buffer layer may be formed of, for example, aluminum gallium nitride (AlxGaYN: 0SXS1, 0'YS1, Χ+Υ=ι). 1255053 The n-type and p-type cladding layers do not have to be formed of a 1 lanthanide nitride semiconductor material having the same composition ratio. For example, the n-type cladding layer may be formed of gallium nitride (G aN ), and the p-type cladding layer may be formed of aluminum gallium nitride (AlxGaYN ). Preferably, the n-type and p-type cladding layers are formed of a group m nitride semiconductor material having a band gap which is larger than a barrier layer constituting the quantum well structure of the light-emitting layer. The light-emitting layer disposed between the n-type cladding layer and the p-type cladding layer is a multi-quantum well structure, wherein the well layer and the barrier layer formed by the lanthanum nitride semiconductor are periodically staggered and stacked, and the two end face layers (one end face) The layer and the other end layer) are barrier layers. This is because it is more effective to prevent the carrier from spreading to the n-type and p-type cladding layers. In the thin layer of the light-emitting layer of the invention, the one end face layer closest to and facing the n-type clad layer and the other end face layer closest to the n-type clad layer are barrier layers. The well layer is formed of a HI-based nitride semiconductor having a band gap smaller than that of the barrier layer. For example, the well layer is formed of indium gallium nitride (GaYInzN: 0' YS 1, 〇SZgl, Y+Z=l). The indium composition ratio (gallium composition ratio) of GaYInzN is appropriately selected to obtain light of a desired wavelength. The light-emitting layer of the light-emitting device emitting short-wavelength light in the near-ultraviolet light # region, the blue region or the green region may be GaYInzN (0.25SZS0.40, Y) having an indium composition ratio of about 0.40 (=40%) or less (preferably 0.25). +Z=l) is formed. The well layer constituting the light-emitting layer of the multi-quantum well structure may be formed of a cuban nitride semiconductor containing a group V element other than nitrogen and nitrogen, such as gallium phosphide nitride (GaNi_aPa: 〇$ a < 1 ). In GaNbaPa, the energy band gap is proportional to the phosphorus composition ratio (=a) (in other words, depending on the ratio of nitride (N) composition (=; l - a )). A well layer capable of emitting light from the ultraviolet light to the red light band can be formed by 1255053 I using the band-shaped GaN^Pa. In order to obtain a light-emitting device having a low forward voltage (Vf) or threshold voltage (vth) intensity, the number of well layers forming the multi-quantum well structure is preferably at least /. The well layer to be bonded to the other * barrier layer forming the quantum well structure is characterized by an illuminating wavelength from the undoped m-type nitride semiconductor layer from the luminescent layer of the 1-multi-quantum well structure. Other well layers joined to the well layer of the one end layer may be formed of a melon-based nitrogen layer doped with impurities. a well layer Φ emitting wavelength outside the layer of the other end face layer. If the m-type nitride semiconductor layer having impurities in the well other than the layer of the other end face layer is formed, the effect of lowering V t h is enhanced. The barrier layer of the band-in-well structure of the m-type nitride semiconductor constituting the well layer is an element of the m-group nitride semiconductor layer having a band gap of about 10 times the electron heat of 0.026 eV at room temperature. The barrier layer is preferably formed by a semi-nitride containing a plurality of group V elements, such as 八乂0, 丫; 0^乂^1'0^丫^1, \+丫=1) or •. In the present invention, the barrier layer of the other end face layer is formed of a m-type nitride semiconductor layer having a thickness of a barrier layer. This is because the layer passes through the barrier layer of the one end layer and the electrons entering the luminescent layer merge into the well layer of the other end layer. The outer barrier layer of the quantum well structure has a suitable thickness of 15 nm or more and 50 nm or less. The thickness of the barrier layer of the end face layer is 1.2 2.5 times or less of the thickness of the other barrier layer. And high luminescence for the three end face layers to form, to stabilize (such as the semiconductor semi-conducting does not affect the layer system by doping: low V f or crevice, quantum kinetic energy (= formed. Conductor shaped GaN 1 - aPa Further than the other, the n-type cladding is sealed on the end face layer. The other time is more than -10- 1255053 & even if the quantum well structure uses a barrier whose thickness is gradually increased from the one end face layer to the other end face layer a layer formed which is still effective for suppressing excessive electron inflow (electron overflow) p-type cladding from the n-type cladding layer. For example, if the thickness of the barrier layer of the one end layer is defined as 1.0 as a reference, The barrier layer disposed closer to the other end face layer has a thickness of 1.5, the barrier layer disposed next to the other end face layer has a thickness of 2.0, and the barrier layer of the other end face layer has a thickness of 2.5. Alternatively, the thickness of the one end face layer is the same as the thickness of the barrier layer adjacent to the one end face layer, and the thickness of the plurality of barrier layers in the middle portion of the quantum well structure is increased by #, and the thickness of the barrier layer near the other end face layer is increased. Increasingly, the thickness of the other end face layer is the largest, and the layers are The thickness is increased from the one end face layer to the other end face layer. The barrier layer forming the other end face layer is formed of a HI group nitride semiconductor layer, and the impurity concentration of the m group nitride semiconductor layer is bonded thereto The end face of the well layer is low and is the highest at the middle portion thereof, and gradually decreases from the intermediate portion to the p-type cladding layer. With this structure, the wavelength of light emitted from the light-emitting layer can be stabilized. That is, the other end face layer is doped The impurity concentration is formed by the m-type nitride semiconductor layer in which the intermediate portion of the layer is lowered toward the p-type cladding layer. The other barrier layer constituting the quantum well structure may be formed of a layer doped or doped with impurities. The other barrier layer and the other end face layer are formed of a π-nitride semiconductor doped with impurities, thereby reducing Vf or Vth. In the state of the barrier layer, the impurity concentration in the layer doped with impurities The distribution pattern is not limited. The distribution may be the same as the barrier layer of the other end face layer, or may be evenly distributed in the thickness direction. The metal-organic chemical gas may be used for the barrier layer and the well layer of the quantum well structure. Phase deposition (MOCVD, MOVPE OMVPE), molecular beam ray 1255053 crystal (MBE), halide vapor deposition and hydride vapor deposition. Μ CVD CVD is particularly effective because the m-type nitride semiconductor contains highly volatile elements such as phosphorus (P), Arsenic (As) and the like. The constituent layers constituting the group-m nitride semiconductor light-emitting device can be formed by using different vapor phase growth methods. For example, the barrier layer or the well layer forming the light-emitting layer can be formed by atmospheric pressure (substantial atmospheric pressure). Or formed by decompression MOCVD, and the n-type or p-type cladding layer can be formed by MBE, but it is easy to form the composition layer by the same vapor phase growth method. It is suitable for obtaining a barrier layer doped with impurities (such as an n-type barrier layer). Examples of the # impurity of the layer are a group IV element such as germanium (Si), germanium (Ge), and tin (Sn), and a group VI element such as selenium (Se) or tellurium (Te). Examples of impurities suitable for obtaining a p-type barrier layer are lanthanum elements such as magnesium (mg) and calcium (C a). The impurity concentration doped in the barrier layer can be measured using a device analysis method such as secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) or Auger electronanolysis. The barrier layer of the other end face layer is grown in an undoped state, i.e., no impurities are supplied to the growth reaction system. When the thickness of the barrier layer is about half of the thickness of the barrier layer, a large amount of impurities are rapidly added, and a region containing a high impurity concentration is formed in the middle portion of the barrier layer. After forming a region of a desired thickness and forming a high concentration of impurities in the middle portion, the amount of impurities to be added decreases with time and continues to grow until the desired thickness is obtained. If the amount of impurities to be added to the growth reaction system changes over time in this method, the impurity concentration of the other end layer is lower at the junction with the well layer, and the concentration is highest in the middle portion, and is intermediate The part is gradually reduced to the P-type cladding layer. Preferably, the thickness of the high impurity concentration region in the barrier layer forming the other end face layer is 2.5 nm or more and 40 nm or less. The preferred impurity concentration of 1255053 in the high impurity concentration region is lxl 〇 18 cm _ 3 or more and l x l 〇 19 cm · 3 or less. If the impurity concentration of the region increases as the thickness becomes thinner, it helps to avoid an increase in the forward voltage. For example, when the high impurity concentration region has a thickness of 2.5 nm to 5 〇 nm, a low forward voltage can be obtained if the impurity concentration is 5 x 1 〇 18 cm · 3 to ixi 〇 19 cm · 3. The inner region of the barrier layer forming the other end face layer bonded to the well layer may not be an undoped region. The necessary condition is that the concentration of impurities to be added is low as compared with the intermediate portion of the other end face layer. The low impurity concentration is less than # lxl 〇 16 cm · 3 or less or less than ixi 〇 18 cm · 3, and preferably 5 x l 〇 ucm -3 or more and 5 x 10 17 cm -3 or less. Preferably, the well layer not intentionally doped with impurities is bonded to the barrier layer forming the other end face layer. When a high-purity well layer having a fine impurity concentration is joined, secondary light emission due to a portion formed by impurities can be avoided, and an excellent single-color light can be obtained. It can reduce the probability of distortion caused by impurities, and has the advantage of stably obtaining the light of the wavelength. The n-type cladding layer bonded to the one end surface layer of the light-emitting layer may be formed of n-type GaYInzN (〇^X, YS1, χ+γ=ι) having a band gap larger than _ well layer, or may be n-type AlxGaYN (〇SX, YS1) , χ + γ = ι) formed. If the n-type cladding layer is formed of GaYInzN, a light-emitting layer with reduced crystal distortion can be formed on the cladding layer. Further, a cuban nitride semiconductor light-emitting device having excellent luminous efficiency can be obtained. GaY1InzlN/GaY2Inz2N (OSY!, Y2, Ζ2^ 1, Υ1^γ2, ζ1^Ζ2, Υ1+Ζ1 = 1, Υ2+Ζ2=1) made of indium gallium nitride layer is used as the n-type Cladding. If the superlattice structure is used as the base layer, a light-emitting layer having a reduced lattice distortion can be formed, and a cuban nitride semiconductor light-emitting device having a high luminous efficiency of 1255053 can be obtained. The group-m nitride semiconductor light-emitting device of the present invention is provided with a ohmic electrode in a structure having a multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer comprising the structure of the present invention. When the crystalline substrate is formed with excellent electrical conductivity (such as yttrium or cubic 3 C crystal form, hexagonal crystal 4 Η each type of tantalum carbide (SiC)), an n-type or p-type of the type of crystalline material forming the substrate is set. One of the ohmic electrodes. Applicable to another conductive electrode disposed on a coating opposite to the conductivity type of the substrate crystal, or Φ contact above the cladding on the multi-quantum well structure having the structure of the present invention when the substrate is formed of high resistance or electrically insulating sapphire The n-type electrode cannot directly contact the substrate. Therefore, each is provided on a stack type or a ruthenium type layer. For example, an n-type (p-type) ohmic electrode is provided on the type of cladding layer or on a contact layer provided on the same cladding layer. Or an η-type containing GaYInzN (0SY, Zgl, Y+Z=l) (on the p-type, to gently reduce the band gap of the luminescent layer or to increase the crystallinity, the intermediate layer is disposed in the η-type (p-type) cladding layer and η Type (p type) is: • The insulating or high resistivity crystalline substrate is not suitable for providing a conductive electrode, or, in the case of an optically transparent substrate, a reflective film is disposed on the surface of the substrate opposite the surface of the stacked structure, wherein the reflection The film has a function of reflecting light passing through the substrate and is formed of a multiple metal film containing a single gold heavy metal film. If a transparent high-resistivity substrate with emitted light is used, an m semiconductor having high light-emitting capability can be obtained. LED. The reflective layer that reflects the blue light and the green light can be formed by nickel (Ni) or its alloy. The material shape of the stacked junction barrier is 6 6H crystal. The same conductivity type is set on the 3rd layer. Or a P-type ohmic structure of η ^ η type (ρ , which is set in the middle layer: . , between the i layers. Sexual ohmic electricity is formed with a stack of films in the exiting film or multi-reflective functional group For rare gold 1255053 used to form low contact electricity The n-type or p-type contact layer of the resistive n-type or p-type ohmic electrode is formed of a low-resistivity n-type or p-type melon-V nitride semiconductor material. The light of the light-emitting layer is penetrated to the outside. The contact layer in the direction is formed by a material having a higher energy band gap, and the light can pass through an energy band gap corresponding to the wavelength of the emitted light. For example, 'the energy band gap is larger than the well layer forming the multi-quantum well structure of the present invention. The material is formed of a cuban nitride semiconductor material. For example, it may be formed of boron phosphide (BP) or a high energy band gap mixed crystal based on boron phosphide, such as borophosphide gallium (BQGaRP: 0<Q, R<lt; 1, _ Q+R = l) or boron indium phosphide (BQInRP: 0, R < l, Q + R = i). In the state of monomer BP, it can be easily obtained by adjusting the growth temperature An n-type and a Ρ-type resistive layer (also in the undoped state), and thus a material suitable for forming a contact layer. If the light provided in the luminescent layer of the multi-quantum well structure of the present invention penetrates into the direction of the outside of the LED The n-type or p-type ohmic electrode is a sieve electrode with an opening or a grid electrode with electrodes arranged in a matrix A high emission intensity LED can be obtained. If the shape of the electrode is such that the surface of the coating or contact layer provided with the ohmic electrode is partially covered, the light absorption rate is lowered by the electrode material and is not absorbed and worn by the opening. The amount of light transmitted will increase. Therefore, an LED having high luminous intensity can be obtained. As described above, in the multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer, 'because the thin layer forming the two end faces is a barrier layer, according to an embodiment of the present invention, Therefore, it is possible to suppress the carrier from being dispersed from the light-emitting layer to the cladding layer, that is, because the carrier is encapsulated in the well layer, so that the light-emitting output can be improved. In the barrier layer forming the two end faces of the multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer, contact with ρ The one end layer of the cladding is thicker than the other end layer. Therefore, ' -15 - 1255053 suppresses the flow of the carrier (electron) from the n-type cladding layer to the p-type cladding layer' and can improve the light-emitting output. If the well layer exists on the one end surface and the other end surface of the light-emitting layer as in the conventional technology, since the well layer is in direct contact with the coating layer, only the well layer is bonded to the thin layer with different crystallinity and different energy band gaps. And compared to other well layers, it has the problem of different crystallinity, distortion and wavelength of light emission. On the other hand, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the thin layers forming the two end faces of the light-emitting layer are the barrier layers, the thin layers contacting the well layers are all barrier layers, and the environment around the well layers is the same. . Therefore, the luminescence effect of the well layer is fixed, and the illuminating wavelength is stabilized and the change is small. As mentioned above, if there is a well layer in contact with the coating, the layer of the well layer and the layer in contact with the barrier layer formed inside the well layer are different, thereby affecting the luminous effect. The wavelength becomes longer and the half width of the luminescence peak 增加 increases. According to an embodiment of the invention, the thin layers contacting the well layer are all barrier layers, and the growth order is a barrier layer-well layer-barrier layer, so the growth conditions of all the well layers are basically the same, and the well layer can be more stable. The formation of the ground suppresses the formation of point defects, and its properties are excellent. Based on this, the light output can be improved. If the well layer in contact with the cladding is present in the manner of conventional techniques, the well layer and the layer that is in contact with the well layer sandwiched between the barrier layer and formed inside the well layer are different, and the cladding layer Different from the growth conditions of the barrier layer. Therefore, point defects are formed in the well layer which is in contact with the coating, and the light-emitting output is deteriorated. According to the present invention, the luminous efficiency can be improved by about 1.5 times. Therefore, the luminous output and electro-optic conversion efficiency of the LED lamp can be improved by about 1.5 times, and energy can be saved. Embodiment 1 - 16 - 1255053 The present invention will be described based on an example of a group m nitride semiconductor light-emitting diode manufactured using the multi-well structured light-emitting layer of the present invention formed on a sapphire substrate. Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a stack structure for manufacturing the LED of Example 1. Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing the structure of the light-emitting layer of the stacked structure shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a schematic plan view of an LED manufactured by the stacked structure shown in Fig. 1. To form the stacked structure 11 for fabricating the LED 10, the sapphire substrate 101 is placed in a quartz MOCVD reactor equipped with an induction heating radio frequency (RF) coil. Nitrogen gas was allowed to flow into the reactor for 10 seconds to rinse the inside of the reactor, and the temperature of the substrate 101 was increased from room temperature to 1 150 ° C in 10 minutes. When the temperature of the substrate 101 was maintained at 1 150 ° C, hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas were flowed thereinto, and the furnace body was maintained in this state for 10 minutes to thermally clean the surface of the substrate 10 1 . The first step is to perform substrate processing on the sapphire substrate 101, which contains a mixture of trimethylaluminum (TMA1) vapor and trimethylgallium® (TMGa) vapor in a molar ratio of 1:2 (a mixture of ammonia and ammonia). NH3) is allowed to act on the substrate 101. The ratio of the group v/m group (nh3/(TMAl + TMGa) concentration ratio) in the first step is set at about 85. The surface treatment was carried out at ι 5 0 ° C for about 6 minutes, and then the gas containing TMA1 and TMGa vapor was supplied to the reaction furnace. Next, in the second step, when the TMGa and the ammonia gas are flowed, the undoped n-type gallium nitride (GaN) layer 1〇2 is formed on the (0001) sapphire substrate 101 for one hour until 0.8 μm thick. until. 1255053. A Si-doped n-type GaN layer 103 is formed on the undoped n-type GaN layer ι 2 . When the layer 103 is formed, it uses a decane gas (SiH4) as a doping source, and a miscellaneous electron concentration of 5x1018cnT3. The Si-doped n-type GaN layer 103 has a thickness of 2 μm. Secondly, using SiH4 as a source of impurity and using TMGa, TMA1 and NH3 as raw materials, a Si-doped n-type aluminum gallium nitride (Al〇.Q9Ga().9lN) layer 104 is formed on the Si-doped n-type GaN layer 103. on. The carrier (hole) of the Alo.o9Gao.MN layer has a concentration of 7xl017cm·3 and a thickness of 8 nm. • When ammonia is fed into the reactor, the substrate 101 temperature is reduced from 11501 to 8 30 °C. Secondly, when trimethylindium (TMIn) is used as the indium raw material, an n-type cladding layer 105 of Si-doped indium gallium nitride (Ino.^Gao.^N) having a film thickness of 50 nm is formed on Al〇.Q9Ga. 〇.9iN layer 104. A multi-well structure light-emitting layer 2 composed of a GaN barrier layer 21 and an In〇.〇4Ga〇.96N well layer 22 is formed on the n-type cladding layer 105. In the formation of a multi-quantum well structure, the S 1 -doped G a Ν barrier layer 2 1 m is first formed in the η-type cladding layer 1 〇 5 of I η 〇 〇i G a 〇. 9 9 N Upper, and I η 〇. 〇4 G a 〇· 9 6 N Well layer • 22 is formed on the Si-doped GaN barrier layer 21m. The thickness of each well layer 22 is set to 2 nm. Then, the Si-doped GaN barrier layer 21 and the Ino.o4Gao.96N well layer 2 2 series are repeatedly stacked five times, and the s-doped g aN barrier layer 2 1 η is bonded to the fifth In0.G4Ga().96N. The well layer 22, and the end face layer 21m of the multi-quantum well structure and the other end face layer 21n on the side of the p-type clad layer 107 are formed as a Si-doped GaN barrier layer 2 1 . The total number of Si-doped GaN barrier layers 21 is 6, and each of the five Si-doped GaN barrier layers 21 has a thickness of i5 nm except for the other end face layer 21n. 1255053 - The thickness of the Si-doped GaN barrier layer forming the other end face layer 21n is set to 20 nm, which is thicker than the other barrier layers. A P-type cladding layer 107 made of Mg-doped Alo.07Gao.93N is formed on the multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer 2. The carrier (hole) concentration of the p-type cladding layer 1〇7 was 5xl017cnT3, and the film thickness was 10 nm. Further, the Mg-doped GaN layer is grown on the P-type cladding layer 107 to form a P-type contact layer 108. The carrier (hole) concentration of the ruthenium-type contact layer 108 is 8 x 1 〇 17 cm -3 and the film thickness is nm. Φ After the growth of the p-type contact layer 108 is completed, the supply of power is terminated to the induction heater, and the temperature of the substrate 101 is lowered to room temperature within 20 minutes. When the temperature was lowered from the growth temperature (1 100 °C) to 300 °C, nitrogen gas was used as a carrier gas in the reactor, and 1% by volume of NH3 was allowed to flow. Secondly, when the temperature of the substrate 101 reaches 300 ° C, the flow rate of nh 3 is terminated, and the atmosphere gas is only nitrogen. When the temperature of the substrate 101 is lowered to room temperature, the stacked structure 11 is taken out from the reaction furnace. According to the foregoing temperature reduction and cooling operation, the p-type conductivity of the p-type contact layer 108 can be obtained even if the annealing treatment for electrically energizing Mg as a p-type impurity is not performed. When the region of the surface of the Si-doped GaN layer 103 where the ohmic electrode 1〇9 is to be formed is exposed, the stacked structure 11 formed by the prior art is selectively etched using a general selective patterning technique. Next, the n-type ohmic electrode 109 is disposed on the Si-doped GaN layer 103, wherein the n-type ohmic electrode 1〇9 is 四ι, 铭(Α1), titanium (Τι), and gold (Au), and the four layers are sequentially stacked and nickel ( The Ni) layer is in contact with the surface of the exposed Si-doped GaN layer 103. As shown in Fig. 3, a transparent gold 1255053. (Au) p-type ohmic electrode 1 10 is formed over the entire surface of the P-type contact layer 108 remaining on the surface of the stacked structure i i . Titanium (Ti), aluminum (A1), gold (Au) sequentially stacked bonding pads (base electrode) 1 1 1 is bonded to the p-type ohmic electrode 110° Next, the back surface of the sapphire substrate 101 having a thickness of 3 50 μm is polished To form a thin plate with a thickness of 1 μm and further polish and trim to a flat mirror. Second, it was cut into square LED chips with a side length of 350 microns (top view). The LED chip 10 is bonded to the lead frame so that the device drive current is passed through the n-type ohmic electrode 109 and the p-type pedestal electrode 111 through the LED chip 10°. The forward device drive current is applied to the n-type ohmic electrode 109. Flows between the p-type ohmic electrode 1 10 to cause the LED chip 10 to emit light. When the forward current is set to 20 mA, the emission wavelength is 3 95 nm. The illuminating output measured with a general integrating sphere is as high as 8.7 mW. Thereby, a near-ultraviolet LED with high illumination output can be obtained. Comparative Example In the comparative example, an LED was formed using a light-emitting layer of a multi-quantum well structure having the same thickness barrier layer. Compare its luminescent properties. That is, in the multi-quantum well structure described in Embodiment 1, the other end face layer (21n in Fig. 2) is formed of a Si-doped GaN barrier layer having a thickness similar to that of the other barrier layers. The factors other than the multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer are the stack structure and electrode structure described in Embodiment 1. A forward current of 20 mA was passed through the lead frame through the LED chip mounted in the same manner as in Example 1 and emitted light having a near ultraviolet region having a wavelength of 395 nm. Although the light emission wavelength of the LED chip is the same as that of the LED wafer 10 of the first embodiment, the forward voltage is as high as 3.5V. However, the light output was lowered to 5.9 mW, and the characteristics of the LED 10 of Example 1 were not obtained. [Embodiment 2] In Embodiment 2, the content of the present invention will be specifically described based on an example of a group m nitride LED formed using a multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer having a barrier layer. In the second embodiment, among the multi-quantum well structures forming the constituent light-emitting layer described in Embodiment 1, the barrier layer # of the one end face layer (2 lm of FIG. 2) is set to 15 nm thick, and the second barrier layer is formed. The thickness is set to 16 nm, the thickness of the third barrier layer is set to 17 nm, the thickness of the fourth barrier layer is set to i8 nm, and the thickness of the fifth barrier layer is set to 19 nm, that is, the Si doping of the multi-quantum well structure is formed. The thickness of the GaN barrier layer is reduced by the n-type cladding layer (105 of Figs. 1 and 2) to the p-type cladding layer (107 of Figs. 1 and 2). The thickness of the Si-doped GaN barrier layer forming the other end face layer 21n was set to 20 nm. A 20 mA forward device drive current was passed through the LED chip mounted in the same manner as in Example 1, and its characteristics were evaluated. The emission wavelength is 395 nm. Although the forward voltage is as high as 3.3V, the luminous output is as high as 8.9 mW as in the first embodiment, and a high output and near ultraviolet region LED is obtained. The forward voltage and the light output of Example 2 are better if the conventional LEDs in the LED comparative example are compared. Embodiment 3 The present invention will be specifically described based on an example in which a barrier layer having impurity dispersion is used as a melon nitride semiconductor layer formed of a multi-quantum well structure light-emitting layer of the other end layer. 1255053 _ In Embodiment 3, another end face layer 21n forming the multi-quantum well structure described in Embodiment 1 is formed of a Si-doped GaN layer, and the impurity concentration of the Si-doped GaN layer is in the well layer The end face of the junction region is low, the highest portion in the middle portion of the layer, and gradually decreases from the intermediate portion toward the P-type cladding layer 107 in the direction of increasing thickness. In the other end face layer, the erbium impurity concentration from the well layer junction region to the 5 nm inner region in the thickness increase direction was set at 3xl017Cm·3. The doping φ mass concentration in the intermediate portion of the barrier layer (5 nm to lOnm extending from the well layer junction region in the thickness direction) was set to 4x1018cnT3. In the region from the intermediate portion to the p-type cladding junction region, the germanium impurity concentration was linearly reduced from 4xl018cnT3 to 7xl〇17cm_3. When the barrier layer forming the other end face layer is formed, the concentration of germanium in each region can be adjusted by changing the flow rate of the SiH4 gas supplied to the reaction system over time. The LED wafer was formed in the same manner as in Example 1, and a forward current was allowed to flow through the wafer. When the 疋 current is set to 20 mA, the illuminating wavelength is 3 95 nm. When the forward voltage is as low as 3.2 V, the light output is 8.6 mW; and if φ is compared with the conventional LED in the comparative example, the forward voltage and the light output of the LED of Example 3 are better. Industrial Applicability The m-group nitride semiconductor light-emitting device according to the present invention has a well crystal structure having a high crystallinity, so that the light-emitting output and electro-optic conversion efficiency are greatly improved, and energy is saved.
