提出了一种新型p型氮化镓粗化外延生长方法,这种生长方法的本质特征是利用低温生长的p型氮化镓作为粗化层的"晶籽"层,然后在这一层的基础上高温快速生长p型氮化镓,使粗化程度得到放大.经实际制作尺寸为12mil×10mil的蓝光发光二极管器件并进行验证测试,与未进行p型氮化镓粗化的结果相比,通过这种方法粗化的发光二极管光通量可提升45%;结果同时表明,该方法有效解决了低温生长p型氮化镓带来的漏电流大,及预通镁源带来的前置电压高的问题.
A new growth method of roughed p-GaN has been demonstrated in this paper. First, some crystal seeds of p-GaN are obtained by utilizing low-temperature growth. Then, a p-GaN high-temperature expitaxy layer is grown on it subsequently with a fast growth rate, which will enlarge the roughness degree. Compared with the luminous flux of the conventional light emitting diode with flat p-GaN, the luminous flux is improved by 45%. Meanwhile, it is found that the problems of large reverse current and high forward bias aroused by the low-temperature epitaxy are also solved.
