Flip-chip light emitting diode chip
View Patent ↗A flip-chip light emitting diode chip includes a first semiconductor structure, which includes a P-type semiconductor layer, a N-type semiconductor layer, openings, a reflective layer, a barrier layer, a passivation layer, and an electrical contact layer. The openings penetrate the P-type semiconductor layer and a part of the N-type semiconductor layer so as to partially expose the N-type semiconductor layer. The reflective layer is disposed on the P-type semiconductor layer. The barrier layer is disposed on the reflective layer, and the area of the barrier layer is smaller than that of the reflective layer therefore the reflective layer is exposed from the barrier layer. The passivation layer is disposed on the barrier layer and partially fills in the openings. The electrical contact layer disposed on the passivation layer partially penetrates through the passivation layer to contact the exposed part of the N-type semiconductor layer.
