技术领域technical field
本发明属于发光二极管的技术领域,具体地涉及一种高光效发光二极管外延片及其制备方法、LED。The invention belongs to the technical field of light-emitting diodes, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency light-emitting diode epitaxial wafer, a preparation method thereof, and an LED.
背景技术Background technique
发光二极管(LED)作为新一代的照明光源,由于其长寿命、节能度高、绿色环保等显著特征,被广泛应用于照明领域。Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), as a new generation of lighting sources, are widely used in the field of lighting due to their outstanding features such as long life, high energy saving, and environmental protection.
III 族氮化物 LED 采用InGaN/GaN多量子阱作为有源区,理论上可以覆盖从近紫外到近红外的宽光谱区,使其在固态照明中非常具有吸引力。一般来讲,生长长波长LED的量子阱的温度大约在700-800℃,利用相对较低的温度下进行,来提高量子阱层中的铟含量。然而,降低温度所带来的不良影响,亦会导致之后的AlGaN层的晶体质量的显著降低。另外由于InGaN与AlGaN的晶格失配,导致量子阱层的量子限制斯塔克效应会显著降低氮化物基LED的发光强度。III-nitride LEDs use InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells as the active region, which can theoretically cover a wide spectral region from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared, making them very attractive for solid-state lighting. Generally speaking, the temperature for growing the quantum wells of long-wavelength LEDs is about 700-800°C, and the relatively low temperature is used to increase the indium content in the quantum well layer. However, adverse effects brought about by lowering the temperature will also lead to a significant decrease in the crystal quality of the subsequent AlGaN layer. In addition, due to the lattice mismatch between InGaN and AlGaN, the quantum confinement Stark effect of the quantum well layer will significantly reduce the luminous intensity of the nitride-based LED.
因此,在InGaN阱层上沉积AlGaN层,首先因晶格失配导致极化电场引起的内部电场,而压电场在量子阱中的量子限制斯塔克效应会显著降低氮化物基LED的发光强度,其次AlGaN层的势垒高度不够,电子溢流增加,LED的发光效率下降。Therefore, depositing the AlGaN layer on the InGaN well layer, firstly, the internal electric field caused by the polarization electric field due to lattice mismatch, and the quantum confinement Stark effect of the piezoelectric field in the quantum well will significantly reduce the luminous intensity of the nitride-based LED. Secondly, the barrier height of the AlGaN layer is not enough, the electron overflow increases, and the luminous efficiency of the LED decreases.

S01、提供一衬底1;S01, providing a substrate 1;
其中,所述衬底1可选用蓝宝石衬底、SiO2蓝宝石复合衬底、硅衬底、碳化硅衬底、氮化镓衬底、氧化锌衬底中的一种;Wherein, the substrate 1 can be selected from one of a sapphire substrate, a SiO2 sapphire composite substrate, a silicon substrate, a silicon carbide substrate, a gallium nitride substrate, and a zinc oxide substrate;
具体的,在本实施例中衬底1选用蓝宝石衬底,蓝宝石是目前最常用的GaN基LED衬底材料,蓝宝石衬底具有制备工艺成熟、价格较低、易于清洗和处理,高温下有很好的稳定性。Specifically, in this embodiment, the substrate 1 is selected from a sapphire substrate. Sapphire is currently the most commonly used GaN-based LED substrate material. The sapphire substrate has a mature manufacturing process, low price, easy cleaning and handling, and good stability at high temperatures.
在本实施例中,采用中微A7 MOCVD(Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Deposition金属有机气相沉积,简称MOCVD)设备,高纯H2(氢气)、高纯N2(氮气)、高纯H2和高纯N2的混合气体中的一种作为载气,高纯NH3作为N源,三甲基镓(TMGa)及三乙基镓(TEGa)作为镓源,三甲基铟(TMIn)作为铟源,三甲基铝(TMAl)作为铝源,硅烷(SiH4)作为N型掺杂剂,二茂镁(CP2Mg)作为P型掺杂剂进行外延生长。In this embodiment, Zhongwei A7 MOCVD (Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Deposition, referred to as MOCVD) equipment is used, one of high-purityH2 (hydrogen), high-purityN2 (nitrogen), high-purityH2 and high-purityN2 is used as a carrier gas, high-purity NH3 is used as N source, trimethylgallium (TMGa) and triethylgallium (TEGa) are used as gallium source, trimethylindium (TMIn ) as an indium source, trimethylaluminum (TMAl) as an aluminum source, silane (SiH4 ) as an N-type dopant, and dimagnesocene (CP2 Mg) as a P-type dopant for epitaxial growth.
S02、在所述衬底1上沉积第一半导体层;S02, depositing a first semiconductor layer on the substrate 1;
其中,在所述衬底1上依次沉积缓冲层2、非掺杂GaN层3、N型GaN层4,以形成所述第一半导体层。Wherein, a buffer layer 2 , a non-doped GaN layer 3 and an N-type GaN layer 4 are sequentially deposited on the substrate 1 to form the first semiconductor layer.
首先,在所述衬底1上沉积缓冲层2;First, depositing a buffer layer 2 on the substrate 1;
具体的,缓冲层2具体为AlN/GaN缓冲层,选用在应用材料PVD中沉积缓冲层,其厚度为15 nm,采用AlN/GaN缓冲层提供了与衬底1取向相同的成核中心,释放了GaN和衬底1之间的晶格失配产生的应力以及热膨胀系数失配所产生的热应力,进一步的生长提供了平整的成核表面,减少其成核生长的接触角使岛状生长的GaN晶粒在较小的厚度内能连成面,转变为二维外延生长。Specifically, the buffer layer 2 is an AlN/GaN buffer layer. The buffer layer is deposited in the applied material PVD, and its thickness is 15 nm. The AlN/GaN buffer layer provides a nucleation center with the same orientation as the substrate 1, releasing the stress caused by the lattice mismatch between GaN and the substrate 1 and the thermal stress caused by the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficient. Further growth provides a flat nucleation surface, reducing the contact angle of its nucleation growth, so that the island-shaped GaN crystal grains can be connected into a plane within a smaller thickness. into two-dimensional epitaxial growth.
之后,需要对已沉积缓冲层2的衬底1进行预处理;Afterwards, the substrate 1 on which the buffer layer 2 has been deposited needs to be pretreated;
具体地,将已镀完缓冲层2的衬底1转入MOCVD中,在H2气氛进行预处理1min~10min,处理温度为1000℃~1200℃,再对衬底1进行氮化处理,提升缓冲层2的晶体质量,并且可以有效提高后续沉积GaN外延层的晶体质量。Specifically, the substrate 1 that has been plated with the buffer layer 2 is transferred to MOCVD, pretreated inH2 atmosphere for 1 min to 10 min, and the treatment temperature is 1000°C to 1200°C, and then the substrate 1 is nitrided to improve the crystal quality of the buffer layer 2, and can effectively improve the crystal quality of the subsequently deposited GaN epitaxial layer.
接着,在缓冲层2上沉积非掺杂GaN层3;Next, depositing a non-doped GaN layer 3 on the buffer layer 2;
其中,非掺杂GaN层3生长温度为1050℃~1200℃,压力100torr~600 torr,厚度为1um~5um;Wherein, the growth temperature of the non-doped GaN layer 3 is 1050°C~1200°C, the pressure is 100torr~600torr, and the thickness is 1um~5um;
具体的,非掺杂GaN层3生长温度1100℃,生长压力150 torr,生长厚度2um~3um,非掺杂GaN层3生长温度较高,压力较低,制备的到GaN的晶体质量较优,同时厚度随着GaN厚度的增加,压应力会通过堆垛层错释放,线缺陷减少,晶体质量提高,反向漏电降低,但提高GaN层厚度对Ga源材料消耗较大,大大提高了LED的外延成本,因此目前LED外延片通常非掺杂GaN层3生长2um~3um,不仅节约生产成本,而且GaN材料又具有较高的晶体质量。Specifically, the growth temperature of the non-doped GaN layer 3 is 1100°C, the growth pressure is 150 torr, and the growth thickness is 2um~3um. The growth temperature of the non-doped GaN layer 3 is higher and the pressure is lower, and the crystal quality of the prepared GaN is better. At the same time, as the thickness of the GaN increases, the compressive stress will be released through stacking faults, the line defects will be reduced, the crystal quality will be improved, and the reverse leakage will be reduced. The growth of layer 3 is 2um~3um, which not only saves the production cost, but also the GaN material has higher crystal quality.
最后,在非掺杂GaN层3上沉积N型GaN层4;Finally, an N-type GaN layer 4 is deposited on the non-doped GaN layer 3;
