Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light-emitting device includes: providing a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; forming, on or above the first surface of the substrate, a semiconductor structure comprising a light-emitting layer; forming a crack inside the substrate, the crack reaching the first surface of the substrate; disposing a wavelength conversion layer on the second surface of the substrate; forming a first recess in the wavelength conversion layer by removing a first portion of the wavelength conversion layer, the first portion overlapping with the crack when viewed in a direction from the wavelength conversion layer toward the semiconductor structure, and leaving a second portion of the wavelength conversion layer between the first recess and the semiconductor structure; and cleaving the second portion along the crack.
