- gallium nitride-based semiconductors are widely used in ultraviolet light, blue / green light emitting diodes or laser diodes as a light source for full-color displays, traffic lights, general lighting and optical communication devices.
- the gallium nitride-based light emitting device includes an InGaN-based multi-quantum well structure active layer located between n-type and p-type gallium nitride semiconductor layers, and generates light based on the principle of recombination of electrons and holes in the quantum well layer in the active layer. To release.

- the n-electrode and the p-electrode are respectively formed on the n-type contact layer 17 and the p-type contact layer 27, the n-electrode and the p-electrode are the contact layers 17 and 27, respectively.
- an active region of a multi-quantum well structure is generally formed by alternately stacking an InGaN well layer and an InGaN barrier layer.
- the well layer is formed of a semiconductor layer having a smaller band gap than the barrier layer, and recombination of electrons and holes occurs in the well layer.
- Si may be doped into the barrier layers to lower the driving voltage Vf.
- Si doping adversely affects the crystal quality of the active region.
- the Si doping due to the limitation of the epitaxial growth technology, as the Si doping, there is a problem that the active region of the multi-quantum well structure becomes relatively thick. In particular, when Si is doped into the active region including In, a large number of crystal defects may occur on the surface and the inside of the active region, and space charge separation may occur due to a polarized electric field, thereby easily causing wavelength shift.
- the external quantum efficiency increases as the injection current increases under low current, but the external quantum efficiency decreases as the injection current increases under high current. This phenomenon is called the efficiency droop, and particularly limits the efficiency of high power light emitting diodes.
- the causes of efficiency droop include: thermal vibration, auger recombination, internal electric fields in multi-quantum well structures, and non-recombination rates due to crystal structures. ), And the like.
- Thermal vibration due to heat or joule heating may cause electrons and holes to remain in the active layer region for a long time, leading to efficiency droop, and due to increased carrier concentration during high current injection.
- Efficacy droop may be caused by the occurrence of Auger recombination.
- efficiency may be lowered, and due to an increase in nonraditive-recombination rate due to defects in the semiconductor crystal.
- Efficiency droop may be caused.
- an AlGaN electron blocking layer EBL may be formed on the active layer to prevent electrons from escaping out of the active layer.
- an internal electric field can be generated by spontaneous polarization and piezo polarization in the active layer and the electron blocking layer. Due to the internal electric field in the active layer and the electron blocking layer, a high applied voltage is required for electrons to pass through the active layer of the multi-quantum well structure.
- the applied voltage becomes higher than the built-in voltage in the 350mA high output diode
- the conduction band on the n side of the active layer has a higher energy level than the conduction band on the p side, The lower energy level results in an increase in leakage current.
- the Al composition may be increased in the electron blocking layer, but such a method degrades the crystallinity.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting diode having improved electrostatic discharge characteristics.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting diode having a low current leakage.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a light emitting diode having improved current spreading performance.
- Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a light emitting diode that can reduce the driving voltage by reducing the generation of the internal electric field.
