  • Publication number: 20230238474
    Abstract: The present application provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor structure. Due to different hole ratios of openings of a mask corresponding to one unit region of a substrate, flow rates of reactive gas in openings are different when growing a light emitting layer. In this way, growth rates of the light emitting layers in openings are different, and doping efficiencies of the light emitting layers in openings are different, such that composition proportions of respective elements in the grown light emitting layer are different, and the light emitting wavelengths of LEDs are different. The processes are simple, and a semiconductor structure applied to a full-color LED can be manufactured on one substrate, which can reduce a size of the full-color LED.
