Patent ID: 7781246

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a vertical light emitting device, the method comprising: forming an emissive layer comprising a n-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a p-type semiconductor layer on a substrate; forming a first trench dividing the emissive layer into light emitting device units, the emissive layer remaining on a lower part of the first trench; forming a passivation layer on the emissive layer; forming a p-type electrode on the p-type semiconductor layer of the emissive layer; forming a metal supporting layer on the passivation layer and the p-type electrode; removing the substrate; removing a remaining portion of the emissive layer when the surface of the emissive layer is exposed by removing the substrate; forming a n-type electrode on the n-type semiconductor layer of the emissive layer; and cutting the metal supporting layer to divide the emissive layer into the light emitting device units.
