Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a vertically-structured GaN-based light emitting diode. The method of manufacturing a vertically-structured GaN-based light emitting diode includes forming a GaN layer on a substrate; patterning the compound layer in a predetermined shape; forming an n-type GaN layer on the patterned compound layer through the epitaxial lateral over-growth process and sequentially forming an active layer and a p-type GaN layer on the n-type GaN layer; forming a structure supporting layer on the p-type GaN layer; sequentially removing the substrate and the GaN layer formed on the substrate after forming the structure supporting layer; removing the patterned compound layer exposed after removing the GaN layer so as to form an n-type GaN layer patterned in a concave shape; and forming an n-type electrode on the n-type GaN layer patterned in a concave shape.

Abstract: Provided are a vertical GaN-based LED and a method of manufacturing the same. The vertical GaN-based LED includes an n-electrode. An AlGaN layer is formed under the n-electrode. An undoped GaN layer is formed under the AlGaN layer to provide a two-dimensional electron gas layer to a junction interface of the AlGaN layer. A GaN-based LED structure includes an n-type GaN layer, an active layer, and a p-type GaN layer that are sequentially formed under the undoped GaN layer. A p-electrode is formed under the GaN-based LED structure. A conductive substrate is formed under the p-electrode.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a nitride semiconductor light emitting device. The nitride semiconductor light emitting device comprises an n-type nitride semiconductor layer on a substrate, an active layer formed on the n-type nitride semiconductor layer so that a portion of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer is exposed, a p-type nitride semiconductor layer formed on the active layer, a high-concentration dopant area on the p-type nitride semiconductor layer, a counter doping area on the high-concentration dopant areas, an n-side electrode formed on an exposed portion of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer, and a p-side electrode formed on the counter doping area. A satisfactory ohmic contact for the p-side electrode is provided by an ion implantation process and heat treatment.
