Abstract

A light-emitting diode (LED) and a method for manufacturing the same are described. The light-emitting diode has a first substrate. An illuminant epitaxial structure is deposited on a surface of the first substrate, in which the illuminant epitaxial structure has a first surface and a second surface opposite each other, the first surface is relatively adjacent to the first substrate, and the illuminant epitaxial structure includes at least one pit in the second surface. A second substrate is deposited on the second surface of the illuminant epitaxial structure. An adhesion layer is deposited between the second surface of the illuminant epitaxial structure and the second substrate to bond the second substrate to the illuminant epitaxial structure.

Claims (20)

1. A light-emitting diode, comprising:

a conductive growth substrate having a first inner surface and a first outer surface opposite to the first inner surface;

a conductive bonding substrate having a second inner surface and a second outer surface opposite to the second inner surface;

an illuminant epitaxial structure sandwiched between the second inner surface of the conductive bonding substrate and the first inner surface of the conductive growth substrate, wherein the illuminant epitaxial structure has a plurality of pits therein;

a first electrode disposed on the first outer surface of the conductive growth substrate; and

a second electrode disposed on the second outer surface of the conductive bonding substrate.

2. The light-emitting diode according to claim 1 , wherein the pits are identical in depth.

3. The light-emitting diode according to claim 1 , wherein the pits penetrate through the illuminant epitaxial structure.
