Abstract

A method for separating a light-emitting diode (LED) from a substrate comprises the following steps. First, a substrate is provided which includes a junction surface and a bottom surface far away from the junction surface. Then a plurality holes are formed on the junction surface. An LED structure is further grown on the junction surface, and includes a junction portion bonded to the junction surface. The bottom surface is then polished to be shrunk to communicate with the holes. Finally, the junction portion is etched by an etching liquid via the holes to separate the LED structure from the substrate. Accordingly, by forming the holes, the LED structure and the substrate can be separated through polishing and etching processes, thereby providing a high yield rate as well as reduced production costs.
