Patent ID: 7112456

Claim:
A method for manufacturing GaN light emitting diodes, comprising the steps of: (a) forming a light emitting structure on a sapphire substrate, said light emitting structure including a first conductive GaN clad layer, an active layer and a second conductive GaN clad layer sequentially stacked on the sapphire substrate; (b) cutting the light emitting structure into plural units so that each of the unit light emitting structures has a designated size; (c) attaching a conductive substrate to exposed upper surfaces of the unit light emitting structures using a conductive adhesive layer; (d) removing the sapphire substrate from the unit light emitting structures; (e) forming first and second contacts respectively on the surface of the first conductive clad layer, from which the sapphire substrate is removed, and the exposed surface of the conductive substrate; and (f) cutting the resulting structure provided with the first and second contacts into plural unit light emitting diodes.
