Patent Images
1. A gallium nitride-based light emitting device, comprising:
- a substrate;
a GaN-based layer formed on the substrate;
an AlGaN-based layer formed on the GaN-based layer; and
a light emitting layer formed on the AlGaN-based layer, wherein a surface of the GaN-based layer at a boundary relative to the AlGaN-based layer is not planar.

Abstract
For a light emitting device using gallium nitride (GaN), on a substrate are sequentially formed a GaN-based layer, an AlGaN-based layer, and a light emitting layer. To prevent cracks in the AGaN-based layer, the AlGaN-based layer is formed before planarization of the surface of the GaN layer on a surface of the GaN layer which is not planar. For a laser, the AlGaN-based layers serve as clad layers which sandwich the light emitting layer.
