Abstract:
1. A method of making a light emitting diode, comprising the steps of: (a) forming a plurality of electrically conductive members at intervals on a first surface of an epitaxial layer which generates light so that the electrically conductive members are in ohmic contact with the epitaxial layer; (b) forming a light incident layer on the first surface at regions where none of the electrically conductive members are formed, the light incident layer being higher than the electrically conductive members; (c) forming a light reflecting layer on the light incident layer and the electrically conductive members, the light reflecting layer having indented parts where the light reflecting layer overlies the electrically conductive members, and non-indented parts where the light reflecting layer overlies the light incident layer; (d) providing a permanent substrate; (e) providing an adhesive in the indented parts of the light reflecting layer; and (f) disposing the permanent substrate on the light reflecting layer, and bonding the permanent substrate to the light reflecting layer, wherein the permanent substrate is bonded to the indented parts through the adhesive and to the non-indented parts through wafer-bonding.
