Similarly to the third embodiment, the η-GaN epitaxial layer 521, the GaN luminescent epitaxial layer 522, and the p-GaN epitaxial layer 523 are sequentially grown on the epitaxial substrate. The p-GaN layer 523 and the n-GaN layer 521 are exposed in a program to form a p-type electrode 561 and an n-type electrode 562. The substrate for epitaxy can be removed by attaching the glass temporary substrate 57 to the surfaces of the electrodes 561 and 562 by the epoxy resin 58. Next, unlike the third embodiment, a metal array 59 having a thickness of about 3 μm is partially plated on the bottom of the epitaxial layer 521 as shown in Fig. 5a.

The metal layer 59 is attached or otherwise bonded to the specular reflection layer 54 to form an air layer 55 as shown in Fig. 5e. Finally, the epoxy resin 58 is melted to remove the glass temporary substrate 57, i.e., the planar blue diode of this embodiment is completed, as shown in Fig. 5d. Figure 6 is a schematic view of a vertical blue light-emitting diode according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is substantially the same as the fifth embodiment except that the metal array 1282183 column 69 is attached or otherwise bonded to the specular reflection layer 64 to form an air layer 65, and then an n-type back surface electrode is plated. 662 is on the back side of the metal substrate 63. Finally, the epoxy resin is melted, and the glass temporary substrate 5 is removed to form a vertical light emitting diode structure as shown.

First, an n-AlGalnP epitaxial layer 721, an AlGalnP luminescent epitaxial layer 722, and a p-AlGalnP epitaxial layer 723 are sequentially grown on the GaAs epitaxial substrate. Next, a p-type electrode 761 is plated. The epitaxial substrate can be removed by attaching the glass temporary substrate to the surface of the electrode 761 by epoxy resin. Next, a metal array 79 is partially plated on the bottom of the n-AlGalnP stray layer 721 to form a structure as shown in Fig. 7a.

The surface of the ruthenium substrate 73 of the present embodiment and the specular reflection layer 74 plated thereon are also planar. After the specular reflection layer 74 is attached to the metal array 79, the air layer 75 can be formed. The epoxy resin is then melted to remove the glass temporary substrate. Finally, the damage n AlGalnP layer 723 is exposed by a lift-off procedure to form a !! type electrode 762 as shown in Fig. 71.

In the above example, the air layer may also be filled with a material having a refractive index of less than 2, such as Si〇2, MgF#. In addition, a layer of mold can be placed on the surface of the specular reflection layer to enhance the adhesion of the wafer.
