Abstract

The invention discloses a stress-released GaN-based LED structure which comprises a sapphire substrate and a GaN-based epitaxial layer. The stress-released GaN-based LED structure is characterized in that crisscross strip-type isolation strips or crisscross strip-type isolation channels are formed in the growth plane of the sapphire substrate; the GaN-based epitaxial layer is arranged in an area, without the isolation strips or the isolation channels, on the growth plane of the sapphire substrate. The invention further discloses a manufacturing method for the GaN-based LED structure. According to the stress-released GaN-based LED structure and the manufacturing method, the internal stress of an epitaxial layer of a large-sized substrate can be simply and conveniently released, the uniformity of wavelengths in the epitaxial layer can be improved, and the yield of a GaN-based LED chip can be improved.
