Patent ID: 7883910

Claim:
A method of forming an LED structure, comprising the steps of: forming an ESD protection element on a sub-mount, wherein the ESD protection element is disposed along the edges of a first surface on the sub-mount and is embedded in the sub-mount; forming a first electrode on the ESD protection element; providing a stacked structure and bonding the stacked structure on the first surface of the sub-mount, wherein the stacked structure is located apart from the first electrode; forming an isolation layer on the first electrode, the stacked structure and the space between the first electrode and the stacked structure; removing a part of the isolation layer over the first electrode and a part of the isolation layer over the stacked structure to expose the first electrode and the stacked structure; forming a conductive thin film layer on the first electrode and the stacked structure for electrically connecting the first electrode and the stacked structure; forming a second electrode on a second surface of the sub-mount opposite the first surface; and dicing the sub-mount to form the LED structure.
