Patent ID: 7192797

Claim:
A method of forming a light emitting device (LED), comprising: forming a light emitting structure, said light emitting structure comprising a first conductive layer, an active layer, and a second conductive layer, said active layer being disposed on said first conductive layer and being a light emitting layer, said second conductive layer being disposed on said active layer; forming a first dielectric layer on said light emitting structure; forming a second dielectric layer on said first dielectric layer; forming a first metal layer, said first metal layer being disposed on said light emitting structure and electrically-connected to said first conductive layer, a portion of said first metal layer being disposed on said first dielectric layer; and forming a second metal layer, said second metal layer being disposed on said light emitting structure and electrically-connected to said second conductive layer, a portion of said second metal layer being disposed on said first dielectric layer; wherein said first dielectric layer and said second dielectric layer electrically-isolate said first metal layer from said second metal layer; wherein a portion of said first dielectric layer is a transparent layer, and a surface of said first dielectric layer contacting said first metal layer and/or said second metal layer is provided for reflecting the light emitted from said light emitting structure.
