Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a vertical GaN-based LED. The method includes forming an insulating pattern on a substrate to define LED regions having a predetermined size; sequentially stacking an n-type GaN-based semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a p-type GaN-based semiconductor layer on the substrate except for the insulating pattern to form a light emitting structure; removing the insulating pattern to divide the light emitting structure into LED sections having a predetermined size; forming p-electrodes on the LED sections, respectively; forming a structure support layer on the p-electrodes; removing the substrate to expose the divided n-type GaN-based semiconductor layer; and forming n-electrodes on the exposed n-type GaN-based semiconductor layer.
