Abstract

The invention discloses a method for manufacturing an LED chip of vertical structure. The method comprises the steps of providing a front-end structure composed of a first substrate and a functional layer formed on the front of the first substrate; providing a second substrate which is bonded with the front-end structure through the functional layer; and illuminating the front-end structure by using a laser beam with a light spot of less than or equal to 150<mu>m so as to lift the first substrate off. As the adopted light spot is relatively small, damage to the front-end structure in the lift-off is reduced, and thus the improvement in the yield of the prepared LED chip of vertical structure can be facilitated. In addition, the alignment limitation of a scribe line in the lift-off is eliminated, and the operability of the laser lift-off process is improved.
