Abstract

An LED epitaxial structure includes a substrate, a buffer layer and an epitaxial layer. The buffer layer is grown on a top surface of the substrate, and the epitaxial layer is formed on a surface of the buffer layer. The epitaxial layer has a first n-type epitaxial layer and a second n-type epitaxial layer. The first n-type epitaxial layer is formed between the buffer layer and the second n-type epitaxial layer. The first n-type epitaxial layer has a plurality of irregular holes therein. The first n-type epitaxial layer has a doping concentration which varies along a thickness direction of the first n-type epitaxial layer.

Claims (7)

1. An LED epitaxial structure, comprising: a substrate, a buffer layer, and an epitaxial layer, the buffer layer grown on a top surface of the substrate, and the epitaxial layer grown on a top surface of the buffer layer, wherein the epitaxial layer includes a first n-type epitaxial layer, and a second n-type epitaxial layer, the first n-type epitaxial layer is formed between the buffer layer and the second n-type epitaxial layer, the first n-type epitaxial layer has a plurality of irregular holes therein, and the first n-type epitaxial layer has a doping concentration which varies along a thickness direction of the first n-type epitaxial layer.

2. The LED epitaxial structure of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a sapphire.

3. The LED epitaxial structure of claim 1 , wherein an active layer, and a p-type epitaxial layer are grown sequentially on the second n-type epitaxial layer.

4. The LED epitaxial structure of claim 1 , wherein the irregular holes have different sizes, different shapes, and different distribution locations.

5. The LED epitaxial structure of claim 4 , wherein a size of the irregular holes near the buffer layer exceeds the size of the irregular holes near the second n-type epitaxial layer.

6. The LED epitaxial structure of claim 1 , wherein the first n-type epitaxial layer has a high doping concentration gradually decreasing to a low doping concentration from a bottom surface to a top surface of the first n-type epitaxial layer.

7. The LED epitaxial structure of claim 6 , wherein the doping concentration gradually decreases from 10 19 to 10 18 .
