Patent ID: 8173456

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a light emitting diode element comprising: forming a first patterned semi-conductor layer, a patterned light emitting layer, and a second patterned semi-conductor layer sequentially on an epitaxy substrate so as to form a plurality of epitaxy structures, wherein the first patterned semi-conductor layer has a thinner portion in a non-epitaxy area outside the epitaxy structures; forming a passivation layer covering the epitaxy structures and the thinner portion; removing a part of the passivation layer covering on the thinner portion to form a patterned passivation layer such that the patterned passivation layer has at least a gap corresponding to the thinner portion; forming a patterned reflector directly on each of the epitaxy structures; bonding the epitaxy structures to a carrier substrate; performing a lift-off process to separate the epitaxy structures from the epitaxy substrate; and forming an electrode on each of the epitaxy structures far from the patterned reflector.
