An epitaxial structure having a low defect density includes: a base layer; a first epitaxial layer having a plurality of concentrated defect groups, and an epitaxial surface that has a plurality of first recesses corresponding in position to the concentrated defect groups, the sizes of the first recesses being close to each other; and a plurality of defect-termination blocks respectively and filling the first recesses and having polished surfaces. The defect-termination blocks are made of a material which is different in removal rate from that of the first epitaxial layer. The polished surfaces are substantially flush with the epitaxial surface so that the first epitaxial layer has a substantially planarized crystal growth surface

This invention provides a light-emitting diode chip with high light extraction, which includes a substrate, an epitaxial-layer structure for generating light by electric-optical effect, a transparent reflective layer sandwiched between the substrate and the epitaxial-layer structure, and a pair of electrodes for providing power supply to the epitaxial-layer structure. A bottom surface and top surface of the epitaxial-layer structure are roughened to have a roughness not less than 100 nm root mean square (rms). The light generated by the epitaxial-layer structure is hence effectively extracted out. A transparent reflective layer not more than 5 μm rms is formed as an interface between the substrate and the epitaxial-layer structure. The light toward the substrate is more effectively reflected upward. The light extraction and brightness are thus enhanced. Methods for manufacturing the light-emitting diode chip of the present invention are also provided.

A light emitting diode includes an epitaxial layer, an electrode, electrically conductive members, a light incident layer, a light reflecting layer, an adhesive, and an electrically conductive permanent substrate. The epitaxial layer has first and second surfaces. The electrode is disposed on the second surface of the epitaxial layer. The electrically conductive members are formed on the first surface of the epitaxial layer and are spaced apart from each other. The light incident layer is formed on the first surface of the epitaxial layer at regions where none of the electrically conductive members are formed. The light reflecting layer is formed on the light incident layer and the electrically conductive members, and has indented parts and non-indented parts. The adhesive is disposed in the indented parts of the light reflecting layer. The permanent substrate is bonded to the light reflecting layer through the adhesive and through wafer bonding.
