Abstract: A method includes growing an epitaxy semiconductor region at a major surface of a wafer. The epitaxy semiconductor region has an upward facing facet facing upwardly and a downward facing facet facing downwardly. The method further includes forming a first metal silicide layer contacting the upward facing facet, and forming a second metal silicide layer contacting the downward facing facet. The first metal silicide layer and the second metal silicide layer comprise different metals.

Abstract: An LED chip includes a substrate and a p-n junction type semiconductor light-emitting structure. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the second surface. The p-n junction type semiconductor light-emitting structure is arranged on the first surface of the substrate. A plurality of blind holes is defined in the second surface of the substrate and extends from the second surface towards the first surface. A heat conductive material is filled in each of the plurality of blind holes thereby forming a plurality of heat conductive poles in the plurality of blind holes.
