Patent ID: 7968355

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a luminous device, comprising: forming at least one luminous structure on a first substrate, the luminous structure comprising a first cladding layer on the first substrate, an active layer on the first cladding layer, a second cladding layer on the active layer, and at least one inclined side surface comprising the exposed sides of the first cladding layer, the active layer and the second cladding layer; forming a patterned insulation layer on the luminous structure, wherein the insulation layer includes a recess exposing a portion of the second cladding layer; forming a first electrode layer in the recess and on at least a portion of the insulation layer; attaching at least a portion of the first electrode layer to a second conductive substrate; removing the first substrate to expose at least one surface of the first cladding layer; and forming a second electrode on the exposed surface of the first cladding layer of the luminous structure.
