Abstract

A light-emitting diode (LED) and a method for manufacturing the same are described. The light-emitting diode has a metal substrate, a first transparent conductive layer, a first contact layer, and an illuminating epitaxial structure stacked in sequence. An ohmic contact layer is located on a portion of the illuminating epitaxial structure. A thickness of the metal substrate is greater than 40 μm. The first contact layer is a doped strained-layer-superlattices (SLS) structure. Additionally, the light-emitting diode can further be a reflective layer located between the metal substrate and the first transparent conductive layer.
