  • Patent number: 7638414
    Abstract: A method of forming high quality nitride semiconductor layers on a patterned substrate and a light emitting diode having the same are disclosed. After forming a nucleation layer on the patterned substrate, a first 3D and 2D growth layers are formed thereon in this order by growing nitride semiconductor layers in 3D and 2D growth conditions. Then, a second 3D growth layer is formed on the first 2D growth layer by growing a nitride semiconductor layer in another 3D growth condition, and a second 2D growth layer is formed on the second 3D growth layer by growing a nitride semiconductor layer in another 2D growth condition. As such, the thickness of the 3D growth layer can be reduced by alternately forming the 3D and 2D growth layers, thereby preventing the 3D growth layer from having a rough surface and improving crystal quality of the final 2D growth layer.

  • Patent number: 7626209
    Abstract: Disclosed is a light emitting diode having an active region of a multi quantum well structure. The active region is positioned between GaN-based N-type and P-type compound semiconductor layers. At least one of barrier layers in the active region includes an undoped InGaN layer and a Si-doped GaN layer, and the Si-doped GaN layer is in contact with a well layer positioned at a side of the P-type compound semiconductor layer therefrom. Accordingly, carrier overflow and a quantum confined stark effect can be reduced, thereby improving an electron-hole recombination rate. Further, disclosed is an active region of a multi quantum well structure including relatively thick barrier layers and relatively thin barrier layers.

  • Publication number: 20090261376
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light emitting diode comprising a substrate: a nitride semiconductor layer formed on the substrate; an ITO mask pattern formed on the nitride semiconductor layer; an N-type semiconductor layer formed through lateral growth on the nitride semiconductor layer and the ITO mask pattern; and a P-type semiconductor layer formed on the N-type semiconductor layer. In a nitride semiconductor light emitting diode of the present invention, a nitride semiconductor layer is formed through lateral growth, so that crystal defects can be reduced, thereby enhancing the crystallinity of the semiconductor layer. Accordingly, the performance of the light emitting diode can be enhanced, and the reliability thereof can be secured. Particularly, there is an advantage in that since ITO with high electrical conductivity is used as a mask pattern for lateral growth, so that a current spreading property is improved, thereby enhancing light emitting efficiency.
