具体实施方式
为使本发明更易于理解其实质性特点及其所具的实用性,下面便结合附图对本发明若干具体实施例作进一步的详细说明,但需要说明的是以下关于实施例的描述及说明对本发明保护范围不构成任何限制。
实施例
图1为根据本发明实施的一种发光二极管外延片结构示意图,本实施例中外延层由下至上依次包括:(1)蓝宝石衬底1;(2)低温缓冲层2,可以为氮化镓、氮化铝、或铝镓氮结合,膜厚在10~100nm之间;(3)非掺氮化镓层3,膜厚在300~7000nm之间,优选3500nm;(4)N型氮化镓层4,厚度大于1000nm;(5)量子阱发光层5,以InGaN作为阱层、以GaN或AlGaN或二者组合作为垒层构成,其中垒层厚度在50~150nm之间、阱层厚度在1~20nm之间;(6)电子阻挡层6;(7)P型层7,厚度在100~2000nm之间,优选200nm,Mg掺杂浓度优选5×1020/ cm3
其中,该电子阻挡层由下至上依次包括:(1)常规AlGaN层601,生长厚度介于0.1nm~500nm之间,优选100nm;优选Al组分为30%;(2)三维P型氮化镓***层602,生长厚度介于1~200nm之间,Mg掺杂浓度为1×1018/cm3~1×1021/cm3,具体生长方法为:提高反应室压力、降低反应室温度、降低反应室IV-III比、降低生长速率在量子阱发光层5上形成三维P型氮化物结构层,优选生长压力为600torr、温度为700℃、转速300 rmp/min,通入Ga源、Mg源,优化生长速率为200nm/h,生长三维P型氮化镓***层602,优选垂直生长厚度为50nm形成锥状P型层,Mg掺杂浓度为1/cm3;(3)二维AlGaN合并层603,具体生长方法为:提高反应室压力、提高反应室温度,提高生长速率,生长二维AlGaN合并层603,Al组分为30%,二维AlGaN合并层填充步骤(2)中三维P型氮化镓***层生长过程中形成的空隙,空隙完全填充后再次生长约100nm后调至下一层。
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***层在实现了电子有效阻挡的同时解决了P型AlGaN层中Mg掺活化效率低问题,三维P型氮化镓***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,同时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。
作为本实施例中第一个实施例变形,调整常规AlGaN层601层中Al组分为40%,调整二维AlGaN合并层603中Al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Al组分,在拦截越过 601的电子同时进一步降低空穴注入势垒。
作为本实施例的第二个实施例变形,P型氮化镓***层602生长过程中,Mg掺杂浓度由低渐变至高掺,本案中优选初始Mg掺杂浓度为1×1019/cm3,最高渐变至于P型层Mg掺杂浓度一致,这样P型氮化镓***层所形成锥状体顶端具有较高的Mg掺,浓度与P型层浓度一致,更加有利于空穴从锥状体顶端穿透二维AlGaN合并层603,进一步提升空穴注入效率。
以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施方式,并不用于限制本发明,对于本领域的技术人员来说,本发明可以有各种更改、润饰和变化。凡在本发明的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进均视为在本发明的保护范围之内。
