Abstract

A micro semiconductor device includes an epitaxial structure and an optical layer. The optical layer is disposed on the epitaxial structure. The optical layer is a multi-layer film structure including a first film layer, a second film layer, and a third film layer disposed between the first film layer and the second film layer. A refractive index of the first film layer and a refractive index of the second film layer are both greater than a refractive index of the third film layer. A thickness of the third film layer is greater than a thickness of the first film layer and s thickness of the second film layer. A reflectivity of the optical layer to an external light of the micro semiconductor device is greater than a self-luminescence of the epitaxial structure of the micro semiconductor device.
