- dry etching is generally used to pattern the first N-type semiconductor layer 12.
- the P-type semiconductor layer 11 will be over-etched.

In this step, the upper surface 11a of the P-type semiconductor layer 11 is not blocked, so H atoms are easily released.
- a large number of P-type doped ions Mg can form covalent bonds with atoms in the GaN-based material, that is, are activated to avoid passivation.
