Patent ID: 7648849

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor light emitting diode, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a light transmittance substrate that allows a nitride semiconductor to be grown thereon; forming an n-type nitride semiconductor layer on the light transmittance substrate; forming an active layer on the n-type nitride semiconductor layer; forming a p-type nitride semiconductor layer on the active layer; alternately stacking first and second nitride layers having different Al content on the p-type nitride semiconductor layer several times to form a mesh-type DBR reflecting layer having a plurality of open regions; and forming an ohmic contact layer directly over the mesh-type (Distributed Bragg) DBR reflecting layer and the p-type nitride semiconductor layer exposed through the open regions of the mesh-type DBR reflecting layer; wherein the step of forming the n-type nitride semiconductor layer, the step of forming the active layer, the step of forming the p-type layer, and the step of forming the mesh-type DBR reflecting layer are carried out successively in the same chamber.
