This invention discloses a method for the fabrication of GaN-based vertical cavity surface-emitting devices featuring a silicon-diffusion defined current blocking layer (CBL). Such devices include vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and resonant-cavity light-emitting diode (RCLED). The silicon-diffused P-type GaN region can be converted into N-type GaN and thereby attaining a current blocking effect under reverse bias. And the surface of the silicon-diffused area is flat so the thickness of subsequent optical coating is uniform across the emitting aperture. Thus, this method effectively reduces the optical-mode field diameter of the device, significantly decreases the spectral width of LED, and produces single-mode emission of VCSEL.
