Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a method of manufacturing a group-III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device in which a light-emitting device excellent in the internal quantum efficiency and the light extraction efficiency can be obtained, a group-III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device and a lamp. Included are an epitaxial step of forming a semiconductor layer ( 30 ) so as to a main surface ( 20 ) of a substrate ( 2 ), a masking step of forming a protective film on the semiconductor layer ( 30 ), a semiconductor layer removal step of removing the protective film and the semiconductor layer ( 30 ) by laser irradiation to expose the substrate ( 2 ), a grinding step of reducing the thickness of the substrate ( 2 ), a polishing step of polishing the substrate ( 2 ), a laser processing step of providing processing marks to the inside of the substrate ( 2 ), a division step of creating a plurality of light-emitting devices ( 1 ) while forming a division surface of the substrate ( 2 ) to have a rough surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a group-III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device in which a semiconductor layer is formed on a substrate by sequentially laminating an n-type semiconductor layer, an emission layer and a p-type semiconductor layer, which are made of a group-III nitride semiconductor, the method comprising: an epitaxial step of epitaxially growing the group-III nitride semiconductor on a first main surface of the substrate, to form the s…
