Abstract

A light emitting device comprising: a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a first major surface, a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, and a sidewall wherein the entire sidewall is a substantially textured surface with a depth of 10˜150 μm; and a light emitting stack layer formed on the substrate.

Claims (29)

1. A light emitting device, comprising:

a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a first major surface, a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, and a sidewall wherein the entire sidewall is a substantially textured surface with a depth of between about 50 μm and 150 μm; and

a stack of semiconductor epitaxial layers formed on the substrate.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the textured surface is a convex-concave structure or continuous roughed surface.

3. The light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein the extension direction of the convex-concave structure is longitudinal.

4. The light emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the extension direction can be a direction originating from the first major surface of the substrate and heading to the second major surface of the substrate.

5. The light emitting device of claim 3 , further comprising an electrode formed on the light emitting stack.

6. The light emitting device of claim 5 , further comprising a transparent conductive oxide layer formed between the electrode and the light emitting stack.

7. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the stack of semiconductor epitaxial layers comprises:

a first conductive-type semiconductor layer formed on the first major surface of the substrate;

an active layer formed on the first conductive-type semiconductor layer; and

a second conductive-type semiconductor layer formed on the active layer.

8. The light emitting device of claim 7 , wherein the upper surface of the second conductive-type semiconductor layer is a substantially textured surface.

9. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first major surface is a substantially textured surface.

10. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein all of the sidewall is the substantially textured surface.

11. A light emitting device, comprising:

a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a first major surface, a second major surface opposite to the first major surface, and a sidewall wherein the entire sidewall is a substantially textured surface with a depth of between about 50 μm and 150 μm and the textured surface is with an extension direction and forms an angle θ with the first major surface of the substrate, herein 0°<θ<90°; and

a stack of semiconductor epitaxial layers formed on the substrate.

12. The light emitting device of claim 11 , wherein the extension direction can be a direction originating from the first major surface of the substrate and heading to the second major surface of the substrate.

13. The light emitting device of claim 11 , wherein the textured surface is a convex-concave structure or continuous roughed surface.

14. The light emitting device of claim 11 , wherein the stack of semiconductor epitaxial layers comprises:

a first conductive-type semiconductor layer formed on the first major surface of the substrate;

an active layer formed on the first conductive-type semiconductor layer; and

a second conductive-type semiconductor layer formed on the active layer.

15. The light emitting device of claim 14 , wherein the upper surface of the second conductive-type semiconductor layer is a substantially textured surface.

16. The light emitting device of claim 11 , further comprising an electrode formed on the light emitting stack.

17. The light emitting device of claim 16 , further comprising a transparent conductive oxide layer formed between the electrode and the light emitting stack.

18. The light emitting device of claim 11 , wherein the first major surface is a substantially textured surface.

19. The light emitting device of claim 11 , wherein all of the sidewall is the substantially textured surface.
