Patent ID: 8574936

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device, comprising the following steps: (a) providing a temporary substrate; (b) forming a multi-layered LED epitaxial structure, having at least one light emitting unit, on the temporary substrate, wherein a first surface of the at least one light emitting unit contacts the temporary substrate, and the at least one light emitting unit comprises a n-type layer, an active region, and a p-type layer; (c) forming a n-electrode on the n-type layer; (d) forming a p-electrode on the p-type layer; (e) bonding a permanent substrate on the at least one light emitting unit, the n-electrode and the p-electrode; (f) removing the temporary substrate to expose the at least one light emitting unit; and (g) etching the exposed, at least one light emitting unit, to expose at least one of the n-electrode and the p-electrode.
