  • Publication number: 20180145210
    Abstract: An AlGaInP light-emitting diode includes from bottom up a substrate, a DBR reflecting layer, an N-type semiconductor layer, a quantum well light-emitting layer, a P-type semiconductor layer, a transient layer and a P-type current spreading layer. The DBR reflecting layer is multispectral-doping. The P-type semiconductor layer includes a first P-type semiconductor layer adjacent to the quantum well light-emitting layer and a second P-type semiconductor layer adjacent to the transient layer. A doping concentration of the second P-type semiconductor layer is lower than that of the first P-type semiconductor layer. By improving doping concentration of the multispectral DBR reflecting layer, current spreading can be improved, thus improving aging performance. A concentration difference is formed with the transient layer to balance doping of the transient layer; this avoids increasing non-radiation composition from high doping of the transient layer during long-time aging.

    Abstract: A fabrication method of a nitride underlayer structure includes, during AlN layer sputtering with PVD, a small amount of non-Al material is doped to form nitride with decomposition temperature lower than that of AlN. A high-temperature annealing is then performed. After annealing, the AlN layer has a rough surface with microscopic ups and downs instead of a flat surface. By continuing AlGaN growth via MOCVD over this surface, the stress can be released via 3D-2D mode conversion, thus improving AlN cracks.

  • Publication number: 20180138367
    Abstract: A nitride light emitting diode includes a substrate and a nitride buffer layer, an n-type layer, a quantum well light emitting layer, and a p-type layer over the substrate. The n-type layer is a superlattice structure formed by alternating undoped AlGaN layers and n-type doped GaN layers. The Al component of the undoped AlGaN layer is controlled to produce first stress that offsets the second stress produced by the n-type doped GaN layer, reducing crystal defects and wrapping caused by impurity doping of the n-type layer. Growth temperature and pressure of the n-type layer are controlled such that thickness of the n-type doped GaN layer is greater than that of the undoped AlGaN layer to improve surface roughness of the undoped AlGaN layer and form an n-type doped GaN layer with a flat surface. Series resistance, crystal defects and wrapping, and optoelectronic properties of the device are therefore improved.
