The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may include indium (In). The barrier layer may comprise In x Ga 1 - x N (0 <x <1). The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may include indium (In), thereby reducing the energy band gap. The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 have a lower energy barrier, so that holes provided from the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer 150 are provided to all of the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, thereby reducing recombination rate with electrons.

If y, the indium (In) content of the well layers (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) is less than 0.08, the energy band gap is so large that the recombination effect of electrons and holes can be slowed, and if y is greater than 0.13, Since the energy band gap is too small, most holes in the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 close to the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer 150 may recombine with electrons, thereby reducing light efficiency.

The active layer 250 may be disposed between the type semiconductor layers 260.

A second conductivity type semiconductor layer 230 may be formed on the first electrode layer 220. The second conductive semiconductor layer 230 may be implemented as a p-type semiconductor layer doped with a p-type dopant. That is, the second conductivity type may be p type. The p-type semiconductor layer contains a semiconductor material, for example, having a compositional formula of In x Al y Ga 1 -x- y N (0 = x = 1, 0 = y = 1, 0 = x + y = 1) GaN, AlN, AlGaN, InGaN, InN, InAlGaN, AlInN and the like may be selected, and p-type dopants such as Mg, Zn, Ca, Sr, and Ba may be doped.

The active layer 250 may be formed on the second conductive semiconductor layer 230. The active layer 250 may be formed of a single or multiple quantum well structure, a quantum-wire structure, a quantum dot structure, or the like using a compound semiconductor material of Group 3-V group elements.

Well active layer 250 has a composition formula in this case formed of a quantum well structure, for example, In x Al y Ga 1 -x- y N (0 = x = 1, 0 = y = 1, 0 = x + y = 1) Barrier layer having a compositional formula of layers Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and In a Al b Ga 1 -a- b N (0 = a = 1, 0 = b = 1, 0 = a + b = 1) It may have a single or quantum well structure having B1, B2, B3, B4). The well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 may be formed of a material having a band gap smaller than that of the barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4.

In addition, when the active layer 250 has a multi-quantum well structure, each of the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 may have different In contents, different band gaps, and different thicknesses, but is not limited thereto. No.

The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may be repeatedly stacked with the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may be plural in number. The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may include indium (In). The barrier layer may comprise In x Ga 1 - x N (0 <x <1). The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may include indium (In), thereby reducing the energy band gap. The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 have a lower energy barrier, so that holes provided from the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer 230 are provided to all of the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 to improve recombination rate with electrons. It can be maximized.

Indium (In) content of the barrier layers (B1, B2, B3, B4) x may be 0.01 to 0.05. When x, the indium (In) content of the barrier layers (B1, B2, B3, B4) is less than 0.01, the effect of maintaining hole mobility may be halved, and when x is greater than 0.05, the barrier It may be difficult to maintain the shape of the layers B1, B2, B3, B4.

Barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may be doped with dopants. The dopant may be a p-type dopant and may be, for example, one dopant among magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), or barium (Ba).

Referring to FIG. 5, the light emitting device 200 according to the embodiment may have four barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4. The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may include a first barrier layer B1, a second barrier layer B2, a third barrier layer B3, and a fourth barrier layer B4. The fourth barrier layer B4 is disposed on the second conductivity type semiconductor layer 230, the third barrier layer B3 is disposed on the fourth barrier layer B4, and the second barrier layer B2 is The first barrier layer B3 may be disposed on the third barrier layer B3, and the first barrier layer B1 may be disposed on the second barrier layer B2.

The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may be plural, and the closer the barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 are to the second conductivity type semiconductor layer 230, the higher the doping concentration may be. The first barrier layer B1 may have a doping concentration of 1 × 10 16 to 1 × 10 17 cm −3 , and the second barrier layer B2 may have a doping concentration of 3 × 10 16 to 3 × 10 17 cm -3. The third barrier layer B3 may have a doping concentration of 9 × 10 16 to 9 × 10 17 cm −3 , and the fourth barrier layer B4 has a doping concentration of 1.5 × 10 17 to 1.5 × 10 It can be 18 cm -3 .

If the doping concentration is sequentially increased as described above, an excessive amount of holes may exist in the first conductive semiconductor layer 260 and the adjacent well Q1 layer, and some may escape to the first conductive semiconductor layer 260. Leakage current can be minimized. In addition, the amount of holes transferred to the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 spaced apart from the second conductivity type semiconductor layer 230, for example, the first well layer Q1, may be increased. Therefore, the recombination rate of electrons and holes is increased to improve the light efficiency of the light emitting device.

The thickness d2 of the barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may be 5 to 10 nm. When the thickness d2 of the barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 is 5 nm or less, the effect of trapping electrons and holes in the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 may be reduced, and the thickness may be 10 nm or more. In this case, the probability that the hole does not pass through the barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 is too high, which may reduce the recombination rate of the hole and the electron. The barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 may have different thicknesses, but the thickness of the barrier layers B1, B2, B3, and B4 is not limited thereto.

The indium (In) content of the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 may be 0.08 to 0.13. If y, the indium (In) content of the well layers (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) is less than 0.08, the energy band gap is so large that the recombination effect of electrons and holes can be slowed, and if y is greater than 0.13, Since the energy band gap is too small, most holes in the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 close to the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer 230 may recombine with electrons, thereby reducing light efficiency.

The thickness d1 of the well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 may be 3 to 5 nm. If the thickness (d1) of the well layers (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) is 3 nm or less, it is too narrow to reduce the probability of recombination of fast electrons with holes. It can be difficult to grow layers. The plurality of well layers Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 may have different thicknesses, but is not limited thereto.

Accordingly, the probability of recombination of electrons and holes in the active layer 250 can be increased and leakage current can be prevented.
