    Abstract: An ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diode (LED) (400) includes a substrate (202); a semiconductor buffer layer (204) that is N-polar and is formed on the substrate, wherein the N-polar is achieved by having (1) a nitrogen atom layer in the semiconductor buffer layer at a distal surface from the substrate (202) and (2) a metal atom layer in the semiconductor buffer layer at a proximal surface from the substrate (202); an n-type layer (210) formed over the semiconductor buffer layer (204); an active layer (212) formed over the n-type layer (210) and configured to generate UV light; a p-type layer (214) formed over the active layer (212), which in tandem with the n-type layer (210) form a pn junction; a first electrode (610) formed over the p-type layer (214); and a second electrode (620) formed directly over the n-type layer (210).
