Description

氮化物半導體結構Nitride semiconductor structure

本發明係有關於一種氮化物半導體結構及半導體發光元件,尤其是指一種於多重量子井結構中使用四元氮化鋁銦鎵的阻障層與三元氮化銦鎵的井層以改善因晶格失配所產生的應力作用,使得井層具有3﹒5nm~7nm之厚度,同時可提供較佳的載子侷限,以提升內部量子效率,使得半導體發光元件獲得良好之發光效率者。The invention relates to a nitride semiconductor structure and a semiconductor light-emitting element, in particular to a well layer using a four-component aluminum indium gallium nitride barrier layer and a three-component indium gallium nitride in a multiple quantum well structure to improve the cause The stress caused by the lattice mismatch makes the well layer have a thickness of 3.5 nm to 7 nm, and at the same time, it can provide better carrier limitation to improve the internal quantum efficiency, so that the semiconductor light-emitting element can obtain good luminous efficiency.

一般而言,氮化物發光二極體係將一緩衝層先形成於基板上,再於緩衝層上依序磊晶成長n型半導體層、發光層以及p型半導體層;接著,利用微影與蝕刻製程移除部分之p型半導體層、部分之發光層,直至暴露出部分之n型半導體層為止;然後,分別於n型半導體層之暴露部分以及p型半導體層上形成n型電極與p型電極,而製作出發光二極體;其中,發光層具有氮化物半導體多重量子井結構(MQW),而多重量子井結構包括以重複的方式交替設置的井層(well)和阻障層(barrier),因為井層具有相對阻障層較低之能隙,使得在上述多重量子井結構中的每一個井層可以在量子力學上限制電子和電洞,造成電子和電洞分別從n型半導體層和p型半導體層注入,並在井層中結合,而發射出光粒子。Generally, a nitride light-emitting diode system first forms a buffer layer on a substrate, and sequentially epitaxially grows an n-type semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, and a p-type semiconductor layer on the buffer layer; and then, uses lithography and etching. The process removes a portion of the p-type semiconductor layer and a portion of the light-emitting layer until a portion of the n-type semiconductor layer is exposed; then, an n-type electrode and a p-type are formed on the exposed portion of the n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer, respectively An electrode is fabricated to produce a light-emitting diode; wherein the light-emitting layer has a nitride semiconductor multiple quantum well structure (MQW), and the multiple quantum well structure includes a well and a barrier that are alternately arranged in a repeated manner Because the well layer has a lower energy gap relative to the barrier layer, each well layer in the above multiple quantum well structure can quantum and mechanically limit electrons and holes, causing electrons and holes to be respectively from the n-type semiconductor layer. The p-type semiconductor layer is implanted and combined in the well layer to emit light particles.

目前,在多重量子井結構中約有1至30層的井層或阻障層,阻障層通常係以氮化鎵GaN之材料所形成,而井層係以氮化銦鎵InGaN所組成;然,上述之多重量子井結構由於氮化銦鎵與氮化鎵晶格間存在有約10~15%的晶格不匹配度,導致晶格間產生強大的應力作用,使得在多重量子井結構中有壓電場(piezoelectric field)的產生,且於成長氮化銦鎵的過程中,當銦含量愈高時,所產生的壓電場也就愈大,對晶體結構的影響也就愈大,而隨著成長的厚度愈厚時,所累積的應力也就愈大,當晶體結構成長至超過某一個臨界厚度(critical thickness),導致晶體結構無法再承受此應力作用時,則會產生較大的缺陷結構(例如V-形缺陷),使得一般井層具有一定的厚度限制,一般約為3nm左右。At present, there are about 1 to 30 layers of well layers or barrier layers in a multiple quantum well structure. The barrier layer is usually formed of a material of gallium nitride GaN, and the well layer is composed of indium gallium nitride (InGaN); However, the above-mentioned multiple quantum well structure has a lattice mismatch of about 10 to 15% between the indium gallium nitride and the gallium nitride crystal lattice, resulting in a strong stress between the crystal lattices, resulting in a multiple quantum well structure. There is a piezoelectric field in the process, and in the process of growing indium gallium nitride, the higher the indium content, the larger the piezoelectric field generated, and the greater the influence on the crystal structure. The thicker the thickness as the thickness grows, the greater the accumulated stress. When the crystal structure grows beyond a certain critical thickness, causing the crystal structure to no longer withstand this stress, it will produce Large defect structures (such as V-shaped defects) make the general well layer have a certain thickness limit, generally about 3 nm left. .

此外,上述之多重量子井結構也會因強大的極化電場作用的存在,而造成能帶嚴重傾斜或彎曲,導致電子與電洞分開侷限在井層的兩側,使得電子與電洞波函數(wave function)在空間上的重疊率降低,而降低電子與電洞的輻射再結合速率(radiative recombination rate)及內部量子效率(IQE)。In addition, the above-mentioned multiple quantum well structure may also cause severe tilt or bending of the energy band due to the existence of a strong polarization electric field, which causes electrons and holes to be separated from each other on both sides of the well layer, so that the electron and hole wave functions The wave function reduces the spatial overlap rate and reduces the radiative recombination rate and internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of electrons and holes.

今,發明人即是鑑於上述現有之氮化物半導體發光元件在實際實施上仍具有多處之缺失,於是乃一本孜孜不倦之精神,並藉由其豐富之專業知識及多年之實務經驗所輔佐,而加以改善,並據此研創出本發明。Nowadays, the inventor is still in the spirit of tirelessness in view of the fact that the above-mentioned conventional nitride semiconductor light-emitting elements have many defects in practical implementation, and are supplemented by their rich professional knowledge and years of practical experience.
