In this embodiment, the first barrier layer 340 has a higher energy level than the first type of tie layer 31 and the active layer 330. Therefore, the electricity After the hole is flown through the active layer 330 by the second type (p type) semiconductor layer 32, it is difficult to avoid the overflow of the hole by crossing the first barrier layer 340.

In addition, the barrier layer described below may be any one of the first barrier layers 240, 340, 440 and the second barrier layer 450 in the foregoing embodiment. 5 to 9 respectively show the energy gap and relative positional relationship of the active layer, the barrier layer and the tie layer in the light-emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the same symbols will be designated by the same reference numerals. Referring first to FIG. 5, the present embodiment continues to show the relative positions of the active layer 510, the barrier layer 520, and the tie layer 530, wherein the barrier layer 520 is located between the active layer 510 and the tie layer 530. The barrier layer 520 includes a first interlayer barrier layer 522 and a second interlayer barrier layer 524, and the first interlayer barrier layer 522 is located on the second layer 201140878 HP981101 34088twf.doc/n barrier layer 524 and Between the active layers 51〇. As can be seen from Fig. 5, the active layer 51A has a quantum well structure in which a well layer 512 and a barrier iayer 514 are alternately laminated to constitute the active layer 510. In this embodiment, a waveguide layer 54 〇 is disposed between the active layer 51 〇 and the barrier layer 520 , and the energy gap of the waveguide layer 540 is substantially similar to or equivalent to the energy of the barrier layer 514 . Gap. In addition, in the embodiment, the material of the first interlayer barrier layer 522 includes AlxGai-xN, and the material of the second interlayer barrier layer 524 includes AlyGai_yN ' 0<x, y$i, and x<y . For example, χ<〇.35, and 〇.2Sy$l. The higher the aluminum content, the larger the energy gap of the interlayer barrier layer. Therefore, the first interlayer barrier layer 522 of the present embodiment has a lower energy gap than the second interlayer barrier layer 524. As soon as the electron or hole moves from the active layer 510 toward the tie layer 530, the first interlayer barrier layer 522 and the second interlayer barrier layer 524 can provide a double barrier to reduce electron or hole overflow conditions. 'And improve the quality of the components. In an embodiment, when the tie layer 530 is a p-type doped semiconductor layer #, the material of the first interlayer barrier layer 522 may be a p-type doped AlxGai-xN, and the second interlayer barrier layer 524 The material is p-type doped AlyGa^yN. Similarly, when the binding layer 530 is an n-type doped semiconductor layer, the material of the first interlayer barrier layer 522 may be n-type doped AlxGa^N, and the material of the second interlayer barrier layer 524 is η. Type doped AlyGa^yN. That is to say, the present invention does not limit that the barrier layer 520 is composed of intrinsic GaN or composed of doped aluminum gallium nitride, but can be selected according to different needs. Doped or undoped dopants. Also, 201140878 HP981101 34088twf.doc/n That is, in all of the following descriptions, the first and second interlayer barrier layers may be selectively doped or undoped. Specifically, in the actual structural design, the thickness of the second interlayer barrier layer 524 may be from 1A to 100 nm. The thickness of the first interlayer barrier layer 522 may be selectively equal to, greater than, or less than the thickness of the second interlayer barrier layer 524 to form at least a two-step distribution pattern on the energy gap distribution. In other words, the first interlayer barrier layer 522 and the second interlayer barrier layer 524 are both structures having a thickness in space, and the structure has substantially the same chemical composition (or aluminum content) within the thickness range. . Of course, the above thicknesses are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the actual construction of the light-emitting diodes of the present invention. In addition, in the present embodiment, the first interlayer barrier layer 522 is disposed next to the waveguide layer 540, and the second barrier layer 524 is disposed next to the first barrier layer 522, and the doped semiconductor layer 530 is also adjacent to the first layer. The second interlayer barrier layer 524 is provided. Therefore, the change in the energy gap between adjacent layers exhibits a sudden jump. However, in other embodiments, as shown in Figure 6, an excess layer 550 may be provided between any two adjacent layers to cause the energy gap to exhibit an increasing or decreasing tendency between different layers. That is, between the waveguide layer 540 and the first interlayer barrier layer 522, between the first barrier layer 522 and the second barrier layer 524, and between the second barrier layer 524 and the binding layer 53A. There is an excess layer 550 that exhibits an inclined energy level change trend. In addition, although FIG. 6 shows the energy gap distribution of the excessive layer 550 in a straight line, the energy gap distribution of the excessive layer 550 may also be a distribution of the arc as the actual design requirements. It is worth mentioning that the 201140878 HP981101 34088twf.doc/n excess layer 550 is not shown in all of the following embodiments, but in actual time, any adjacent two layers can be selectively configured. There are over 55 layers. Therefore, the following embodiments are not limited to the aspects shown in the drawings. Next, referring to FIG. 7A, in another embodiment, the number of the first interlayer barrier layers 522 may be two, and a first interlayer barrier layer 522 is located at the second interlayer barrier layer 524. Between the active layer 51 and the other, the first interlayer barrier layer 522 is located in the second interlayer barrier layer, and the number of the first interlayer barrier layer 522 can be different. The demand is one or several. Of course, the present invention also does not limit the number of the first interlayer barrier layers 524, and the following embodiments will be described by a plurality of first interlayer barrier layers 524 and a plurality of interlayer barrier layers μ. Of course, the present invention does not limit the second interlayer barrier layer 524 to have a fixed-size energy gap or a fixed composition within a thickness range. Therefore, referring to FIG. 7B, the energy gap distribution of the second interlayer barrier layer itself may be gradually increased and then gradually decreased. That is to say, when the material of the second interlayer barrier layer 524 is +1yGai'yN, the size of the 'y value can be gradually increased from the two sides of the second interlayer barrier f 524 to the middle, wherein the rate of increase can be fixed. Or not fixed. In other words, although FIG. 7B shows the energy gap distribution of the second interlayer barrier layer 524 in a straight line, the energy gap distribution of the first barrier layer M4 may also be a distribution of the arcs as the actual design requirements. In the present embodiment, the number of the first interlayer barrier layer 522 and the second interlayer barrier layer 524 is plural. A portion of the first interlayer barrier layer 522 is located between the second interlayer barrier layer 524 and the active layer 510, and another 11 201140878 HP98110I 34088twf.doc/n a first interlayer barrier layer 522 is located between the second interlayer barrier layer Between layer 524 and tie layer 530. Further, a waveguide layer 56 is disposed between the adjacent first interlayer barrier layers 522 and between the adjacent second interlayer barrier layers 524. That is, in the barrier layer 520, the waveguide layer 56 is alternately disposed with the first interlayer barrier layer 522, and the waveguide layer 56 is also alternately disposed with the second interlayer barrier layer 52=. In other words, the first interlayer barrier layer 522 and the second interlayer resistive P layer 524 are respectively formed in the form of a superlattice. In addition, when the second interlayer barrier layer 524 of the present embodiment is applied to the light emitting diodes 200, 300, and 400 of the foregoing embodiment, the thickness of the single layer second interlayer barrier layer 524 may be from 1 A to 10 〇 nm' or It is the overall thickness of all of the second interlayer barrier layers 524 from 1A to i〇〇nm. In addition, referring to FIG. 9, in the present embodiment, a first interlayer barrier layer 522 is disposed between adjacent two second interlayer barrier layers 524. That is, the present embodiment replaces the waveguide layer 56G between the adjacent two second interlayer barrier layers 524 in Fig. 8 by the first interlayer barrier layer 522. In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9, a part of the first interlayer barrier layer 522 is disposed between the second interlayer barrier layer 524 and the tie layer, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first interlayer barrier layer 522 may not be disposed between the interlayer barrier layer 524 and the binding layer 53A, and exhibits a trend of energy gap change as shown in FIG. Layer 53 is disposed adjacent to second interlayer barrier layer 524. Regardless of the arrangement of the interlayer gap layer, as long as it is the active layer and the beam, the order of the layers is configured with at least the layer-layer layer--the gap layer and the second layer gap between the layers and the second layer. The current configuration of 201140878 HP981101 34088twf.doc/n is therefore only the relationship between the energy gap and the relative position is used. In fact, the light-emitting diode of the present invention can have a specific structure according to different design requirements. . In summary, the present invention is a barrier layer of two energy gaps between the active layer and the tie layer of the light-emitting diode. Therefore, electrons or holes are less likely to pass through the barrier layer and effectively reduce electron or hole overflow. As a result, the luminous efficiency of the luminous body of the present invention is not easily attenuated and has better quality.
