LIGHT EMITTING DIODE OF VERTICAL STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability by forming a metal support layer on the top of a light emitting structure by an electrolytic plating method for which a high-temperature process is not required to reduce the occurrence of a defect in an element, and by forming a metal support layer including a soft metal and a hard metal on the top of the light emitting structure to prevent a warp of a wafer and to increase the mechanical strength.

SOLUTION: The light emitting diode of vertical structure includes a light emitting structure 20 and a metal support layer constituted by a soft metal and a hard metal having the Young's modulus higher than that of the soft metal. In addition, the metal support layer is constituted by an alloy of soft metal and hard metal.
