Abstract
A method of fabricating ultraviolet (UV) vertical light-emitting diode (VLED) structures composed of AlInGaN or AlGaN with increased crystalline quality and a faster growth rate when compared to conventional AlInGaN or AlGaN LED structures is provided. This may be accomplished by forming a sacrificial GaN layer above a carrier substrate, and then depositing the light-emitting diode (LED) stack above the sacrificial GaN layer. The sacrificial GaN layer may then be removed in subsequent processing steps.
