ABSTRACT:
An AlGaInP light emitting diode with improved illumination is provided. The AlGaInP light emitting diode includes a semiconductor substrate, a light re-emitting layer, an AlGaInP layer with a first doping concentration, an AlGaInP lower cladding layer with a second doping concentration less than the first doping concentration, an undoped AlGaInP active layer, an AlGaInP upper cladding layer, a window layer, an annular-shaped top electrode on the window layer and a layered electrode on a bottom of the semiconductor substrate. The light re-emitting layer includes at least a first region formed of the light re-emitting layer and a second region formed of Al2O3enclosing the first region. Since AlGaInP layer between the AlGaInP lower cladding layer and the light re-emitting layer has the first doping concentration larger than that of the AlGaInP lower cladding layer, the AlGaInP layer provides a transverse current spreading. The Al2O3region also improves light reflection illuminating on the light re-emitting layer. As a result, the brightness performance of the light emitting diode is improved.
