Abstract
A nitride light-emitting diode including: a substrate with sub-micro patterns over the surface, which is divided into a growth region and a non-growth region; a growth blocking layer, formed in the non-growth region of the substrate for blocking epitaxial growth in the non-growth region of the substrate; a light-emitting epitaxial layer, comprising an n-type layer, a light-emitting layer and a p-type layer, formed in the growth region of the substrate, which extends to the non-growth region through lateral epitaxy and covers the growth blocking layer; wherein, the refractive index of the growth blocking layer is less than that of the light-emitting epitaxial layer and the growth blocking layer forms undulating morphology along the sub-micro patterns of the substrate, thus increasing light extraction interface of LED, generating refractive index difference between the light-emitting epitaxial layer and the light extraction interface and improving light extraction efficiency.
