For reference, FIG. 2 is a process chart of a method of manufacturing flexible gallium nitride according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a process diagram of a method of manufacturing a flexible gallium nitride light emitting diode according to the present invention.

The p-type gallium nitride thin film layer 100 and the n-type gallium nitride thin film layer 200 are deposited on the sapphire layer through a p-n junction (S100).

At this time, the p-type gallium nitride thin film layer 100 and the n-type gallium nitride thin film layer 200 are deposited by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using Cp 2 Mg and SiH 4 , -Type and n-type doping are controlled.

A step of forming the lower electrode 400 on the p-type gallium nitride thin film layer 100 is performed (S200).

The lower electrode 400 is plated with a copper plate 500 (S300).

A step of separating the p-n junction gallium nitride thin film from the sapphire layer through a laser lift-off process is performed (S400).

At this time, laser lift-off is preferably performed using a Lambda Physik Lextra 200 KrF pulsed excimer laser to remove the sapphire layer of the gallium nitride light emitting diode device having the copper plate formed thereon.
