Patent ID: 8063549

Claim:
A method of fabricating a light-emitting diode, the method comprising steps of: a step (a) of treating a surface of a graphite substrate by oxygen-ashing and forming an amorphous carbon layer having a thickness of not less than 20 nm and not more than 60 nm on the surface of the graphite substrate; a step (b) of forming an AlN layer on the amorphous carbon layer with MOCVD (Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition); a step (c) of forming an n-type cladding layer consisting of a nitride semiconductor on the AlN layer; a step (d) of forming a quantum well layer consisting of a nitride semiconductor on the n-type cladding layer; and a step (e) of forming a p-type cladding layer consisting of a nitride semiconductor on the quantum well layer.
