Patent ID: 8535958

Claim:
A method for fabricating a light emitting diode, comprising steps of: forming a light emitting structure of said light emitting diode on a substrate; arranging a photoresist layer on a first semiconductor layer of said light emitting structure; depositing a plurality of dielectric material structures on said first semiconductor layer through a plurality of voids of said photoresist layer; removing said photoresist layer to form a plurality of voids between said plurality of dielectric material structures; forming a plurality of metal material structures in said plurality of voids, wherein said plurality of metal material structures and said plurality of said dielectric material structures are arranged with spaces therebetween or arranged alternately; and forming a reflective layer on said plurality of dielectric material structures and said plurality of metal material structures, wherein the reflective layer forms a plurality of inclined planes at positions where the reflective layer contacts with the plurality of dielectric material structures and metal material structures to reflect light from the light emitting structure.
