Light-emitting device and the manufacturing method thereof
View Patent ↗A light-emitting device includes: a carrier; a light-emitting structure formed on the carrier, wherein the light-emitting structure has a first surface facing the carrier, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and an active layer between the first surface and the second surface; a plurality of first trenches extended from the first surface and passing through the active layer so a plurality of light-emitting units is defined; and a plurality of second trenches extended from the second surface and passing through the active layer of each of the plurality of light-emitting units.
1. A light-emitting device comprising:
a carrier;
a light-emitting structure formed on the carrier, wherein the light-emitting structure has a first surface facing the carrier, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and an active layer between the first surface and the second surface;
a plurality of first trenches extended from the first surface and passing through the active layer so a plurality of light-emitting units is defined; and
a plurality of second trenches extended from the second surface, wherein at least one of the second trenches comprises an insulating layer on a sidewall thereof.
2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer formed between the plurality of light-emitting units and the carrier.
3. The light-emitting device according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive layer comprises a base portion attached on the carrier and a plurality of protrusion portions corresponding to each of the first trenches in a sectional view.
4. The light-emitting device according to claim 2 , further comprising an insulating structure disposed between the adhesive layer and the plurality of light-emitting units.
5. The light-emitting device according to claim 4 , further comprising a conductive structure disposed between the insulating structure and the adhesive layer for electrically connecting the plurality of light-emitting units.
6. The light-emitting device according to claim 5 , further comprising a contact formed on the first surface of the light-emitting structure and connecting to the conductive structure.
7. The light-emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein each of the light-emitting units comprises a first semiconductor layer between the carrier and one side of the active layer, and a second semiconductor layer on the other side of the active layer, and wherein a part of the second trenches extends from the second surface to the second semiconductor layer.
8. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising at least a conductive structure formed in the second trench and contacting a bottom of the second trench.
9. The light-emitting device according to claim 8 , wherein the conductive structure is insulated from a side surface of the light-emitting structure by the insulating layer.
10. The light-emitting device according to claim 8 , wherein the conductive structure formed extends from the second surface and passes through the active layer.
11. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the light-emitting units comprises a first semiconductor layer between the carrier and one side of the active layer, and a second semiconductor layer on the other side of the active layer.
