Abstract: A method of forming light emitting diodes includes forming a first-conductivity-type compound semiconductor layer over a substrate, etching the first-conductivity-type compound semiconductor layer to form a first pillar structure and a second pillar structure without exposing the substrate between the first and the second pillar structures, selectively growing a semiconductor active layer over the first and the second pillar structures, and selectively growing a second-conductivity-type compound semiconductor layer on the semiconductor active layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a light emitting device includes forming a first doped compound semiconductor layer over a substrate, forming an active layer over the first doped compound semiconductor layer, forming a second doped compound semiconductor layer over the active layer, forming a patterned ion implantation mask layer, and implanting ions of at least one electrically inactive dopant species in portions of the active layer that are not masked by the patterned ion implantation mask layer. An electrically inactive insulating region including a semiconductor material and atoms of the at least one electrically inactive dopant species is formed. Unimplanted portions of the active layer constitute active regions of an array of light emitting diodes.

Abstract: A light emitting diode includes a n-doped region, a p-doped region, and a light emitting region located between the n-doped region and a p-doped region. The n-doped region includes a first GaN layer, at least one n-doped second GaN layer located over the first GaN layer, an AlGaN dislocation blocking layer located over the at least one n-doped second GaN layer, and a n-doped third GaN layer located over the AlGaN dislocation blocking film.
