Patent ID: 8114689

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a light emitting diode (LED) chip comprising: forming a plurality of LED chips on a wafer; molding a region of each LED chip, wherein molding the region of each LED chip comprises: bonding the wafer on a release film prior to positioning the plurality of LED chips apart from each other; cutting the wafer into each LED chip, except for the release film; after bonding and cutting the wafer, stretching the release film to position the plurality of LED chips apart from each other; filling a gap between the plurality of LED chips with a resin, wherein filling the gap between the plurality of LED chips with the resin comprises installing a resin guide on the release film only along a circumference of the wafer, and wherein the plurality of LED chips are partially covered with the resin; and curing the resin, wherein each LED chip includes a p-type electrode and an n-type electrode, a filling height of the resin being under a top surface of each of the p-type and n-type electrodes; cutting the resin into each LED chip; and testing each LED chip.
