Zusammenfassung:An ultraviolet C light-emitting diode includes an n-type semiconductor layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, a first electron blocking layer, and a second electron blocking layer. The active layer is disposed between the n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer. The wavelength of the maximum peak of the spectrum emitted by the active layer ranges from 230 nanometers to 280 nanometers. The concentration of magnesium in the active layer is less than 1017 atoms/cm3. The first electron blocking layer and the second electron blocking layer are disposed between the p-type semiconductor layer and the active layer. The concentration of magnesium in the second electron blocking layer is greater than that of the first electron blocking layer and is greater than 1018 atoms/cm3.
