Patent ID: 10109763

Abstract:
A light-emitting device that may be manufactured includes an n-type semiconductor layer including a first dopant on a substrate, an active layer on the n-type semiconductor layer, and a p-type semiconductor layer including a second dopant on the active layer. The light-emitting device may be formed according to at least one of a first layering process and a second layering process. The first layering process may include implanting the first dopant into the n-type semiconductor layer into the n-type semiconductor layer according to an ion-implantation process, and the second layering process may include implanting the second dopant into the p-type semiconductor layer according to an ion-implantation process. Forming a semiconductor layer that includes an ion-implanted dopant may include thermally annealing the semiconductor layer subsequent to the ion implantation. The p-type semiconductor layer may include magnesium-hydrogen (Mg—H) complexes at a concentration of about 1×1017 atoms/cm3 to about 1×1018 atoms/cm3.
