Abstract

A vertical light emitting diode structure, comprising: a support structure including a support substrate and a metallic layer, the metallic layer being disposed on the support substrate; a GaN-based semiconductor structure including a first-type semiconductor layer on the support structure, an active layer on the first-type semiconductor layer, and a second-type semiconductor layer on the active layer, the GaN-based semiconductor structure including a bottom surface proximate to the support structure, a top surface opposite to the bottom surface, and a side surface between the top surface and the bottom surface, a thickness of the GaN-based semiconductor structure from the bottom surface to the top surface being less than 5 micro meters, and a ratio of a thickness of the second-type semiconductor layer to the thickness of the GaN-based semiconductor structure being not less than 60%; a first contact layer disposed between the support structure and the GaN-based semiconductor structure to be electrically connected to the first-type semiconductor layer, a thickness of the first contact layer being less than the thickness of the first-type semiconductor layer; a second contact layer disposed on the GaN-based semiconductor structure to be electrically connected to the second-type semiconductor layer, the second contact layer including titanium and aluminum; a metal pad disposed on the second contact layer, the metal pad including gold; and a passivation layer being in contact with the support structure, the passivation layer extending from the support structure to the top surface of the GaN-based semiconductor structure via the side surface of the GaN-based semiconductor structure.
