Abstract

Provided are a flip-chip light emitting diode (FCLED) and a method of manufacturing the same. The provided FCLED is formed by sequentially depositing an n-type cladding layer, an active layer, a p-type cladding layer, and a reflective layer on a substrate. The reflective layer is formed of the alloy of silver to which a solute element is added. According to the provided FCLED and the method of manufacturing the same, a thermal stability is improved to improve an ohmic contact characteristic to a p-type cladding layer, thus a wire bonding efficiency and a yield are improved when packaging the provided FCLED. In addition, the light emitting efficiency and the lifespan of the provided FCLED are improved due to a low specific-contact resistance and an excellent current-voltage characteristic.
