Abstract

A nitride-based light-emitting diode (LED) device includes an n-type nitride semiconductor layer, an active layer that is disposed on the n-type nitride semiconductor layer, a p-type nitride semiconductor layer disposed on the active layer, and a defect control unit disposed between the n-type nitride semiconductor layer and the active layer. The defect control unit includes first, second and third defect control layers that are sequentially disposed on the n-type nitride semiconductor layer in such order, and that have different doping concentrations. The third defect control layer includes one of Al-containing ternary nitride, Al-containing quaternary nitride, and a combination thereof.
