[0040] 作为本发明的一个具体实施例, 本发明通过采用新型的电子阻挡层, 该结构中 三维 P型氮化镓层插入层在实现了电子有效阻挡的同吋解决了 P型 AlGaN层中 Mg 惨活化效率低问题, 三维 P型氮化镓插入层 602设计形成的锥状结构, 锥状结构 顶端与 P型层之间势垒低、 厚度薄, 形成了非规则的势垒低谷, 同吋 P型锥状结 构对空穴注入发光区具有一定的放大、 加速功效, 提升空穴注入效率。
[0041] 作为本实施例中第一个实施例变形, 调整常规 AlGaN层 601层中 A1组分为 40%, 调整二维 AlGaN合并层 603中 A1组分为 20%, 这样可以通过在电子阻挡层前段形 成较薄的势垒尖峰, 阻挡大部分过冲电子; 降低 603中 A1组分, 在拦截越过 601 的电子同吋进一步降低空穴注入势垒。

[0045] 所述电子阻挡层 6由下至上依次包括: 生长模式渐变的 AlGaN层 611和 P型氮化 镓合并层 612, 具体生长方法可以如下: (1 ) 首先调整反应室的压力至 70 torr、 温度设定 1000°C、 转速设定 500rmp/h, 生长二维模式 AlGaN层, 优选 A1组分为 12 %; (2) 随后设定反应室压力、 温度、 转速分别渐变至 300 torr、 700°C、 1000 rmp/h , 生长从二维模式渐变至三维模式的 AlGaN层, 并形成孔洞, 优选 A1组分 为 12% ; (3) 随后反应室压力至 500 torr、 970°C、 1200rmp/h , 使反应室利于二 维模式生长, 停止通入 A1源, 幵始通入 Mg源, 生长 P型氮化镓合并层 612填充步 骤 (2) 中所形成的孔洞, 形成空穴注入点, Mg惨浓度优选 3x10 cm 3。
[0046] 作为本发明的一个具体实施例, 本发明中电子阻挡层在实现电子有效阻档的同 吋降低了空穴注入势垒, 二维 AlGaN层所形成的势垒对大部分电子实现了有效阻 挡, 渐变至三维生长模式吋形成了孔洞; 而 P型氮化镓合并层在填充 AlGaN层所 形成孔洞吋形成了空穴注入点, 空穴倾向于从注入点遂穿至发光区, 从而提高 了空穴注入效率。
[0047] 作为本实施例中第一个实施例变形, 调整 AlGaN层 611中的 A1组分, 使其实现 随生长模式变化逐渐降低趋势, 优选二维 AlGaN层中 A1组分从 15%渐变至 10%, 三维 AlGaN层中 A1组分从 10%继续逐渐降低至 5%。 通过在提高二维模式 AlGaN层 中的 A1组分, 实现电子的有效阻挡, 随后 A1组分逐渐降低, 有利于进一步提高 空穴注入效率。
[0048] 作为本实施例的第二个实施例变形, P型氮化镓合并层 612在生长过程中, Mg 惨浓度由高变低, 本案中优选初始 Mg惨与 P型层一致, 最低 Mg惨浓度渐变至为 1 x l0 2。/ cm 3, 空穴注入点所处位置 Mg惨浓度较高, 进一步实现对空穴的有效聚 集, 随后 Mg惨浓度降低, 有利于恢复晶格质量, 提高二维生长有效性, 利于孔 洞填充。
