Abstract

A method of manufacturing a light-emitting device comprises the steps of: providing a substrate; forming a mask block contacting the substrate and exposing a portion of the substrate; implanting an ion into the portion of the substrate to form an ion implantation region; and forming a semiconductor stack on the substrate such that multiple cavities are formed between the semiconductor stack and the ion implantation region; wherein the mask block comprises a material made of metal or oxide.

Claims (29)

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