Abstract
This disclosure herein pertains to a method for producing a GaP epitaxial wafer used for fabrication of light emitting diodes having higher brightness than light emitting diodes fabricated from a GaP epitaxial wafer produced by a conventional method have. The method comprises the steps of: preparing a GaP layered substrate 15 with one or more GaP layers on a GaP single crystal substrate 10 in the first series of liquid phase epitaxial growth; obtaining a layered GaP substrate 15a by eliminating surface irregularities of said GaP layered substrate 15 by mechano-chemical polishing to make the surface to be planar; and then forming a GaP light emitting layer composite 19 on said layered GaP substrate 15a in the second series of liquid phase epitaxial growth.
