Patent ID: 7018859

Claim:
A method of fabricating an AlGaInP light-emitting diode, comprising the steps of: forming at least an AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy on a substrate; utilizing a soft transparent adhesive layer to bond a transparent substrate material onto the AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy, wherein the soft transparent adhesive layer is between the transparent substrate material and the AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy; removing the substrate to expose entirely the AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy; etching the AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy to remove a portion of the AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy to a depth so the AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy has a first top surface and a second top surface, wherein the first top surface has a greater distance than the second top surface from the transparent substrate material, the first top surface has a first-type electricity, and the second top surface has a second-type electricity; forming a metal reflective layer on the first top surface and a portion of the second top surface of the AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy; and fabricating a first electrode and a second electrode on the metal reflective layer, wherein the first electrode is above the first top surface of the AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy, and the second electrode is above the second top surface of the AlGaInP light-emitting diode epitaxy.
