Popis: We propose a simple defect-selective wet etching method to form oblique sidewalls for GaN-based epitaxial layers with phosphoric acid. Using the same defect-selective wet etching, we also prepared GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with undercut sidewalls. Compared with conventional LEDs with vertical sidewalls, it was found that output intensity of the LEDs prepared by defect-selective wet etching was 30% higher.
