LIGHT EMITTING DIODE AND METHOD OF FABRICATING THE SAME

摘要

A light emitting diode according to the present invention comprises a first semiconductor layer disposed on a substrate; an active layer; a semiconductor laminated structure including a second semiconductor layer; a conductive substrate formed on the semiconductor laminated structure; and an electrode ohmic-connected on the conductive substrate, wherein the electrode is configured to include a laser groove formed by laser scribing in the electrode and the conductive substrate to penetrate the laser groove up to a part of the conductive substrate from the electrode. Accordingly, the electrodes can ohmic contact because the light emitting diode can locally transfer heat by using a laser, thereby decreasing the operating voltage to decrease the amount of heat generation.
