Patent ID: 8173467

Claim:
A method for fabricating a light emitting diode chip, comprising: forming a semiconductor layer and a conductive layer sequentially on a substrate, wherein a first type semiconductor material layer, a light emitting material layer and a second type semiconductor material layer form the semiconductor layer; forming a first patterned photoresist layer on the conductive layer, wherein the first patterned photoresist layer comprises a first photoresist block and a second photoresist block, and a thickness of the first photoresist block is thinner than a thickness of the second photoresist block; removing a portion of the conductive layer and a portion of the semiconductor layer with the first patterned photoresist layer as a mask to form a semiconductor device layer and a current spreading layer; reducing a thickness of the first patterned photoresist layer until the first photoresist block is removed completely, wherein the remaining second photoresist block 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 remaining second photoresist block 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.
