Abstract: A method for manufacturing the LEDs is disclosed, whereby the light extraction efficiency of the device can be enhanced by forming patterns on a top surface of a substrate, a light emitting structure is formed on the top surface of the substrate formed with the patterns, the substrate is removed from the light emitting structure, and patterns corresponding to those formed on top surface of the substrate are formed on the surface of the light emitting structure.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light emitting diode, wherein a laser lift-off (LLO) layer and an epi-layer are. formed on a nitride semiconductor substrate, and the nitride semiconductor substrate is then separated through a laser lift-off process, thereby improving the characteristics of the epi-layer and enabling to fabricate a high-grade and high-efficiency light emitting diode. Further, the LLO layer thus prepared is removed using a laser beam so that the relatively expensive nitride semiconductor substrate can be re-used, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
