Abstract:
1. A light emitting device having a vertical structure, comprising: a conductive support structure comprising a support layer; a bonding layer on the conductive support structure; a first electrode on the bonding layer, the first electrode comprising a reflective electrode; a metal layer arranged between the first electrode and the bonding layer, wherein the ductility of the metal layer is higher than the ductility of the support layer, and wherein a width of the metal layer is greater than a width of the first electrode; a semiconductor structure having multi-layers on the first electrode, the semiconductor structure having an inclined side surface, wherein the semiconductor structure comprises a first-type semiconductor layer on the first electrode, an active layer on the first-type semiconductor layer, and a second-type semiconductor layer on the active layer; a passivation layer on the semiconductor structure, wherein the passivation layer contacts the metal layer; and a second electrode on the semiconductor structure.
