Patent ID: 8383433

Claim:
A method of fabricating a light-emitting diode (LED), the method comprising: forming a semiconductor stack on a first substrate, the semiconductor stack comprising: a first conductivity type semiconductor layer; an active layer; and a second conductivity type semiconductor layer; patterning the semiconductor stack to form connection trenches to expose the first conductivity type semiconductor layer, wherein the connection trenches are separated from one another; forming a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) comprising a multi-layered structure on the semiconductor stack, wherein the DBR comprises openings exposing the second conductivity type semiconductor layer and openings exposing the first conductivity type semiconductor layer; forming connectors to electrically connect a plurality of regions to one another; forming a separation insulating layer to cover the connectors; bonding a second substrate on the separation insulating layer; exposing the first conductivity type semiconductor layer by removing the first substrate; and patterning the semiconductor stack to expose the DBR, wherein patterning the semiconductor stack forms isolation trenches separating the plurality of regions from one another.
