Abstract

A light-emitting diode (LED) chip comprising a first semiconductor layer; an active layer disposed on said first semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor layer disposed on said active layer; metal layers which disposed on said second semiconductor layer and overlapped with each other indirectly, comprising a first metal layer which connected to a first electrode deposited on said first semiconductor, and a second metal layer which connected to a transparent conductive layer and a second electrode deposited on said second semiconductor layer; wherein said second metal layer deposited on said first metal layer which further connected to said first semiconductor layer through an indentation.

Claims (15)

1. A light-emitting diode (LED) chip comprising:

a first semiconductor layer;

an active layer disposed on said first semiconductor layer;

a second semiconductor layer disposed on said active layer;

at least one indentation disposed on said second semiconductor layer, said indentation comprising a bottom part extending downward to reach said first semiconductor layer and exposing said first semiconductor layer; and

a plurality of metal layers which disposed on said second semiconductor layer, comprising a first metal layer which is connected to said first semiconductor layer through said bottom part, and a second metal layer which is connected to a transparent conductive layer deposited on said second semiconductor layer;

wherein said second metal layer indirectly deposited on said first metal layer.

2. The LED chip as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a first electrode deposited on said first semiconductor layer and connected to said first metal layer; and

a second electrode deposited on said second semiconductor layer and connected to said second metal layer.

3. The LED chip as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a first insulating layer deposited between said first metal layer and said second semiconductor layer, and between said active layer and said first metal layer, and connected to said plurality of indentations, for isolating said first metal layer from said second semiconductor layer and said active layer.

4. The LED chip as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said metal layers branched into several strips and distributed over a surface of the LED chip.

5. The LED chip as claimed in claim 1 , wherein shapes and volumes of the overlapped portions of said metal layers are the same.

6. The LED chip as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the material of said transparent conductive layer comprises a mixture of indium oxide and tin oxide, and the mass ratio of the mixture is 90% the indium oxide and 10% the tin oxide.

7. The LED chip as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second insulating layer deposited between said first metal layer and said second metal layer to isolate said second metal layer from said first metal layer.
