Patent ID: 8404505

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a light-emitting device, comprising: forming a substrate decomposition prevention layer on the first substrate, the substrate decomposition prevention layer using, as a matrix, at least one selected from the group consisting of boron nitride (B—N), silicon carbide (Si—C), and silicon carbon nitride (Si—C—N); forming an n-type nitride clad layer, a nitride active layer, and a p-type nitride clad layer on the substrate decomposition prevention layer; attaching a second substrate to the p-type nitride clad; removing the first supporting substrate by means of an etching process; patterning the substrate decomposition prevention layer; forming an n-type ohmic contact layer to be electrically connected to the n-type clad layer by means of a patterned region of the substrate decomposition prevention layer; forming an n-type electrode pad on the n-type ohmic contact layer; removing the second substrate; forming a p-type ohmic contact layer on the p-type nitride clad layer; and forming a p-type electrode pad on the p-type ohmic contact layer.
