Abstract

This invention discloses a wafer-scaled light-emitting structure comprising a supportive substrate; an anti-deforming layer; a bonding layer; and a light-emitting stacked layer, wherein the anti-deforming layer reduces or removes the deformation like warp caused by thinning of the substrate.

Claims (25)

1. A method of manufacturing a light-emitting structure, comprising:

providing a supportive substrate;

forming an anti-deforming layer on the supportive substrate;

providing a growth substrate;

forming a light-emitting stacked layer on the growth substrate, wherein the light-emitting stacked layer comprises at least an active layer;

connecting the light-emitting stacked layer and the anti-deforming layer by a bonding layer;

thinning the supportive substrate; and

removing the growth substrate;

wherein the anti-deforming layer reduces the deformation of the light-emitting structure located on the supportive substrate, and

wherein said connecting the light-emitting stacked layer and the anti-deforming layer by said bonding layer, said thinning the supportive substrate and said removing the growth substrate are performed sequentially.
