Patent ID: 8178376

Claim:
A method for fabricating a light emitting diode chip, comprising: forming sequentially a semiconductor device layer including a first type semiconductor material layer, a light emitting material layer and a second type semiconductor material layer on a substrate, a first patterned dielectric layer on the semiconductor device layer, and a current spreading layer covering the first patterned dielectric layer on the semiconductor device layer; forming a dielectric layer on the semiconductor device layer and the current spreading layer; forming a patterned photoresist layer on the dielectric layer; removing partially the dielectric layer to form a second patterned dielectric layer with the patterned photoresist layer as a mask, wherein the second patterned dielectric layer exposes a portion of the semiconductor device layer and a portion of the current spreading layer; forming an electrode material layer entirely; and removing the patterned photoresist layer to strip the electrode material layer thereon and form a plurality of electrodes, wherein the plurality of electrodes are electrically connected with the semiconductor device layer and the current spreading layer.
