  • Publication number: 20130009172
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a light-emitting element, in which residue from a fixing resin layer is less likely to be left on a semiconductor layer and a supporting base in the case of manufacturing the light-emitting element by a laser lift-off technique. Furthermore, another object of the invention is to provide a highly reliable light-emitting element that is manufactured by the method of the present invention. The above-described objects are accomplished by applying a thermally decomposable resin composition as a fixing resin layer that fixes the semiconductor layer to a supporting base, and by thermally decomposing the fixing resin layer at the time of peeling off the semiconductor layer from the supporting base.
