For example, as shown in FIG. 18, when the thickness difference of each layer structure in the laminated layer 1' is too large, especially around the edge of the exposed area 15 and the adjacent area of the electrode pad 30a, the height difference of the first metal layer 26a is likely to occur. Therefore, a thick metal material 261 can be formed on the entire third insulating layer 70 first, and then metal materials 262 and 263 are formed in stages in the area where the thick metal material 261 has a large height difference to form a relatively flat surface. The first metal layer 26a improves the yield of the bonding step. The metallic materials formed in stages may be the same material or different materials.

The roughening structure TS can be a regular or irregular rough surface. The material of the etchant may include an alkaline solution, such as potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

於本申請案一實施例中,在移除成長基板11後,可進一步利用乾式蝕刻、濕式蝕刻或兩者搭配來移除殘留在表面10s之緩衝層(圖未示),再進行粗化步驟。In one embodiment of the present application, after the growth substrate 11 is removed, the buffer layer (not shown) remaining on the surface 10s can be further removed by dry etching, wet etching or a combination of the two, and then roughened step.

於本申請案一實施例中,在移除殘留在表面10s之緩衝層(圖未示)之同時,可藉由調整蝕刻的製程條件來形成粗化結構TS。In an embodiment of the present application, while removing the buffer layer (not shown) remaining on the surface 10s, the roughened structure TS can be formed by adjusting the etching process conditions.

接續粗化步驟,發光元件1的製造方法包含一打線墊36形成步驟。首先,如第11A圖之剖面圖所示,可在粗化步驟前或後,利用乾蝕刻及/或濕蝕刻之方式,由半導體疊層10之表面10s或粗化結構TS移除電極墊30a上方局部的第一半導體層101,使得電極墊30a裸露出來。此裸露區域可視為一非封閉式開口38,其形狀由上視觀之,大致上對應於電極墊30a。在非封閉式開口38未形成之前,環繞暴露區15內第一表面S1具有一寛度W1。W1大於非封閉式開口38之一寛度W2,因此環繞暴露區15及非封閉式開口38先後形成後,電極墊30a連接於第一表面S1側,且形成於環繞暴露區15中而與非封閉式開口38對應,電極墊30a並具有一寬度W3大於W2,由上視觀之,電極墊30a設置於發光元件1之一邊;當電極層30包含一或多個電極墊30a,電極墊30a可設置於發光元件1之一或多個角落。電極墊30a之上表面301具有一接觸區域301a連接第一半導體層101之第一表面S1,於一實施例中,接觸區域301a經由第一導電區60a連接於第一半導體層101之第一表面S1;於另一實施例中,接觸區域301a除了經由第一導電區60a電性連接於第一表面S1外,更可包含一區域直接連接第一半導體層101之第一表面S1;電極墊30a之上表面301另具有一被非封閉式開口38所暴露之暴露區域301b,與半導體疊層10不重疊。第一半導體層101之厚度可為3~4μm之間,可區分為第一部分101a與第二部分101b。第一部分101a之厚度與非封閉式開口38深度相當,約為1.5~3μm,第二部分101b之厚度對應環繞暴露區15,約為1~1.5μm。電極墊30a可電性連接於第一半導體層101但並非形成於出光面上,因此不會對發光元件1的光線產生遮光效應。Following the roughening step, the manufacturing method of the light-emitting device 1 includes a step of forming a bonding pad 36 . First, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 11A, the electrode pad 30a can be removed from the surface 10s of the semiconductor stack 10 or the roughened structure TS by dry etching and/or wet etching before or after the roughening step. The upper portion of the first semiconductor layer 101 exposes the electrode pad 30a. The exposed area can be regarded as a non-closed opening 38, and its shape is roughly corresponding to the electrode pad 30a viewed from above. Before the non-closed opening 38 is formed, the first surface S1 surrounding the exposed area 15 has a width W1. W1 is greater than the width W2 of the non-enclosed opening 38, so after the surrounding exposed area 15 and the non-enclosed opening 38 are successively formed, the electrode pad 30a is connected to the first surface S1 side, and is formed in the surrounding exposed area 15 instead of the non-enclosed opening 38. Corresponding to the closed opening 38, the electrode pad 30a has a width W3 greater than W2. Viewed from above, the electrode pad 30a is arranged on one side of the light emitting element 1; when the electrode layer 30 includes one or more electrode pads 30a, the electrode pad 30a It can be arranged in one or more corners of the light emitting element 1 . The upper surface 301 of the electrode pad 30a has a contact region 301a connected to the first surface S1 of the first semiconductor layer 101. In one embodiment, the contact region 301a is connected to the first surface of the first semiconductor layer 101 through the first conductive region 60a S1; in another embodiment, in addition to being electrically connected to the first surface S1 via the first conductive region 60a, the contact region 301a may further include a region directly connected to the first surface S1 of the first semiconductor layer 101; the electrode pad 30a The upper surface 301 also has an exposed region 301 b exposed by the non-closed opening 38 , which does not overlap with the semiconductor stack 10 . The thickness of the first semiconductor layer 101 can be between 3-4 μm, and can be divided into a first part 101a and a second part 101b. The thickness of the first part 101a is equivalent to the depth of the non-closed opening 38, which is about 1.5-3 μm, and the thickness of the second part 101b corresponds to surrounding the exposed area 15, which is about 1-1.5 μm. The electrode pad 30a can be electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer 101 but is not formed on the light-emitting surface, so it will not have a light-shielding effect on the light of the light-emitting element 1 .

於本申請案一實施例中,在移除電極墊30a上方局部的第一半導體層101以形成非封閉式開口38的同時,可進一步蝕刻移除其他部分的第一半導體層101,暴露出部分第三絕緣層70,做為後續切割步驟之切割道。藉由複數個切割道定義出各發光元件1的位置及尺寸。In one embodiment of the present application, while removing part of the first semiconductor layer 101 above the electrode pad 30a to form the non-closed opening 38, other parts of the first semiconductor layer 101 can be further etched away to expose a part The third insulating layer 70 is used as a cutting line for the subsequent cutting step. The position and size of each light-emitting element 1 are defined by a plurality of cutting lines.

接著,如第11B圖所示,在暴露區域301b上形成一打線墊36,打線墊36與相鄰的半導體疊層10之間具有一間隙而不直接接觸半導體疊層10。由上視觀之,打線墊36的形狀大致上與電極墊30a相同,打線墊36的寬度及面積小於電極墊30a的寬度及面積。在後續打線作業中,可將焊球(圖未示)設置於打線墊36上方,使發光元件1與外部電源或其他電子元件連接。Next, as shown in FIG. 11B , a bonding pad 36 is formed on the exposed region 301 b, and there is a gap between the bonding pad 36 and the adjacent semiconductor stack 10 without directly contacting the semiconductor stack 10 . Viewed from above, the shape of the bonding pad 36 is substantially the same as that of the electrode pad 30a, and the width and area of the bonding pad 36 are smaller than those of the electrode pad 30a. In the subsequent wire bonding operation, solder balls (not shown) can be placed on the wire bonding pad 36 to connect the light emitting element 1 to an external power source or other electronic components.

接續打線墊形成步驟,如第11B圖之剖面圖所示,發光元件1的製造方法包含一保護層80形成步驟。保護層80可藉由蒸鍍或沉積等方式形成於發光元件1上,覆蓋發光元件1相對於導電基板12之表面,再藉由微影、蝕刻之方式進行圖案化,以形成保護層開口801,裸露出打線墊36。保護層80覆蓋半導體疊層10之表面及側壁,並覆蓋打線墊36與半導體疊層10之間隙,可對發光元件1提供保護作用,避免外在環境的溫度、溼度及靜電等對發光元件1之效能產生不良影響。於本申請案一實施例中,導電基板12及半導體疊層10為晶圓級,在保護層80形成步驟後,可對晶圓級的導電基板12進行切割,切割步驟包含經由切割道對保護層80、導電基板12與接合結構28’進行切割,以形成複數個發光元件1。切割道是在上述非封閉式開口38形成步驟中,藉由蝕刻移除第一半導體層101而形成。切割方式包含切割刀或雷射切割。Following the step of forming the bonding pad, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 11B , the manufacturing method of the light-emitting device 1 includes a step of forming a protective layer 80 . The protective layer 80 can be formed on the light-emitting element 1 by evaporation or deposition, covering the surface of the light-emitting element 1 opposite to the conductive substrate 12, and then patterned by lithography and etching to form the protective layer opening 801 , the wiring pad 36 is exposed. The protective layer 80 covers the surface and side walls of the semiconductor stack 10, and covers the gap between the wiring pad 36 and the semiconductor stack 10, which can provide protection for the light-emitting element 1 and prevent the light-emitting element 1 from being affected by the temperature, humidity and static electricity of the external environment. adversely affect its performance. In one embodiment of the present application, the conductive substrate 12 and the semiconductor laminate 10 are at the wafer level. After the protective layer 80 is formed, the conductive substrate 12 at the wafer level can be cut. The layer 80 , the conductive substrate 12 and the bonding structure 28 ′ are cut to form a plurality of light emitting elements 1 . The dicing line is formed by removing the first semiconductor layer 101 by etching during the step of forming the non-closed opening 38 . Cutting methods include cutting knife or laser cutting.

第12圖為本申請案一實施例中所揭示之一發光元件1a之剖面圖,其與發光元件1之差異在保護層80形成步驟之後,可選擇性地形成一波長轉換層42在保護層80上,波長轉換層42可為螢光粉層或量子點材料,半導體疊層10所發出的光之波長可經由波長轉換層42轉換為不同波長的光。波長轉換層42形成步驟係於切割步驟之前完成。Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of a light-emitting element 1a disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. The difference between it and the light-emitting element 1 is that after the formation of the protective layer 80, a wavelength conversion layer 42 can be selectively formed on the protective layer. 80 , the wavelength conversion layer 42 can be a phosphor layer or a quantum dot material, and the wavelength of light emitted by the semiconductor stack 10 can be converted into light of different wavelengths through the wavelength conversion layer 42 . The step of forming the wavelength conversion layer 42 is completed before the cutting step.

經本實施例製造方法所形成之發光元件1中,如第11B圖所示,當外部電流由打線墊36及導電基板12注入發光元件1時,電流首先傳遞至電極墊30a以及環型電極層30b,再經由第一導電區60a擴散開來,同時傳導至環繞暴露區15內與孔部暴露區17內的第一半導體層101。如此一來,電流可在半導體疊層10內均勻散佈,進而使得發光元件1的光場分佈均勻化,並可降低發光元件1的正向電壓。此外,第三絕緣層70可將電極墊30a與環型電極層30b絕緣於第二半導體層102及活性層103,且電極墊30a及環型電極層30b與活性層103位於發光元件1水平方向之不同區域,而由第11B圖觀之,半導體疊層10倒置於導電基板12上,因此活性層103整體位於反射結構16及第二導電區60b上方;打線墊36設置於非封閉式開口38中,對應於電極墊30a的位置,在發光元件1對應活性層103的出光面無設置任何的電極結構;因此活性層103所發出的光線不會被發光元件1之電極結構所遮蔽,提升發光效率。In the light-emitting element 1 formed by the manufacturing method of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11B, when an external current is injected into the light-emitting element 1 through the bonding pad 36 and the conductive substrate 12, the current is first transmitted to the electrode pad 30a and the ring-shaped electrode layer 30b , and then diffuse through the first conductive region 60a, and conduct to the first semiconductor layer 101 in the surrounding exposed region 15 and the hole exposed region 17 at the same time. In this way, the current can be evenly distributed in the semiconductor stack 10 , thereby making the light field distribution of the light emitting element 1 uniform and reducing the forward voltage of the light emitting element 1 . In addition, the third insulating layer 70 can insulate the electrode pad 30a and the ring-shaped electrode layer 30b from the second semiconductor layer 102 and the active layer 103, and the electrode pad 30a, the ring-shaped electrode layer 30b and the active layer 103 are located in the horizontal direction of the light emitting element 1 As seen from Figure 11B, the semiconductor stack 10 is placed upside down on the conductive substrate 12, so the active layer 103 is located above the reflective structure 16 and the second conductive region 60b as a whole; the bonding pad 36 is arranged on the non-closed opening 38 Among them, corresponding to the position of the electrode pad 30a, no electrode structure is provided on the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting element 1 corresponding to the active layer 103; therefore, the light emitted by the active layer 103 will not be blocked by the electrode structure of the light-emitting element 1, which improves the light emission. efficiency.

The layer covers the area of the first surface S1 surrounding the exposed region 15 to be larger. Wherein, the region E1 surrounding the exposed region 15 has a wider width, and its first surface S1 includes a region S3, the surface of which is not covered by the first insulating layer 20 and the second insulating layer 50'.

After the step of forming the third insulating layer 70' is completed, a stack 2' is formed as shown in the top view of Figure 16A, and Figure 16B is a cross-sectional view along the line AA' of Figure 16A. The formation steps of the insulating layer 70' are similar to the manufacturing method of the aforementioned light-emitting element 1, the difference is that, as shown in FIG. Two groups of openings 702 in the third insulating layer. The third insulating layer openings 701' of the first group are correspondingly formed on the first conductive region 60a'. The conductive region 60a' also has a discontinuous ring-shaped strip pattern, and the opening width of the third insulating layer opening 701' of the first group can be smaller than the width of the first conductive region 60a' to expose part of the first conductive region.

The third insulating layer openings 702 of the second group are correspondingly formed on the hole exposure area 17, exposing part of the third conductive area 60d' and the electrode connection layer 30c'.

於本申請案一實施例中,電極層30’可不具有連接電極層30c’。當電極層30’不具有連接電極層30c’時,第二群組的第三絕緣層開口702裸露出各第三導電區60d’。In an embodiment of the present application, the electrode layer 30' may not have the connecting electrode layer 30c'. When the electrode layer 30' does not have the connecting electrode layer 30c', the third insulating layer openings 702 of the second group expose each third conductive region 60d'.

接續第三絕緣層70’形成步驟,發光元件2的製造方法包含接合步驟、移除成長基板11步驟與粗化步驟。上述步驟與接合結構與前述發光元件1之製造方法中所述相同,因此不再贅述。於本申請案之一實施例中導電基板12之尺寸包含晶圓級基板或晶粒級基板。此處所指的晶圓不限於圓形,包含多邊形或不規則形狀。此處所指的晶圓,可於後續製程中分割成複數個晶粒等級的發光元件;亦可以不進行分割直接形成發光元件。當上述步驟完成後,如第17A圖所示,接合結構28’填入第一群組的第三絕緣層開口701’,與環型電極層30b’及/或第一導電區60a’接觸,以及填入第二群組的第三絕緣層開口702,與連接電極層30c’及/或第三導電區60d’接觸。如此一來,導電基板12與第一半導體層101達成電性連接。Following the step of forming the third insulating layer 70', the manufacturing method of the light-emitting device 2 includes a bonding step, a step of removing the growth substrate 11 and a roughening step. The above steps and bonding structure are the same as those described in the aforementioned manufacturing method of the light-emitting element 1 , and thus will not be repeated here. In one embodiment of the present application, the size of the conductive substrate 12 includes a wafer-level substrate or a die-level substrate. The wafers referred to here are not limited to circular shapes, but include polygonal or irregular shapes. The wafer referred to here can be divided into a plurality of light-emitting elements at the grain level in subsequent manufacturing processes; light-emitting elements can also be directly formed without dividing. After the above steps are completed, as shown in FIG. 17A, the bonding structure 28' fills the opening 701' of the third insulating layer of the first group, and contacts the ring electrode layer 30b' and/or the first conductive region 60a', And the third insulating layer opening 702 filled in the second group is in contact with the connecting electrode layer 30c' and/or the third conductive region 60d'. In this way, the conductive substrate 12 is electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer 101 .

其中當形成接合結構28’時,連接電極層30c’可減緩因第三絕緣層70’、導電層60’、第二絕緣層50’以及反射結構16的厚度在第二群組的第三絕緣層開口702所形成的高低落差,以提升接合的良率。於本申請案一實施例中,電極層30’不具有連接電極層30c’,接合結構28’填入第二群組的第三絕緣層開口702,與第三導電區60d’直接接觸。當接合步驟完成後,導電基板12同樣與第一半導體層101達成電性連接。Wherein when forming the bonding structure 28', the connecting electrode layer 30c' can slow down the third insulating layer in the second group due to the thickness of the third insulating layer 70', the conductive layer 60', the second insulating layer 50' and the reflective structure 16. The level difference formed by the layer opening 702 can improve the bonding yield. In an embodiment of the present application, the electrode layer 30' does not have the connecting electrode layer 30c', and the bonding structure 28' fills the opening 702 of the second group of the third insulating layer and directly contacts the third conductive region 60d'. After the bonding step is completed, the conductive substrate 12 is also electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer 101 .

如同前述發光元件1製造方法,於本申請案一實施例中,在發光元件2製造方法中第一金屬層26a之形成步驟,亦可藉由分次在疊層2’上不同區域形成金屬材料來達成。Like the above-mentioned manufacturing method of light-emitting element 1, in an embodiment of the present application, in the step of forming the first metal layer 26a in the manufacturing method of light-emitting element 2, the metal material can also be formed in different regions on the laminated layer 2' in stages to achieve.

如同前述發光元件1製造方法,於本申請案一實施例中,接合方式可倒置疊層2’於導電基板12上對位接合,或者倒置導電基板12於疊層2’上對位接合。Like the above-mentioned manufacturing method of the light-emitting element 1, in an embodiment of the present application, the bonding method can be inverting the laminated layer 2' for alignment bonding on the conductive substrate 12, or inverting the conductive substrate 12 for alignment bonding on the laminated layer 2'.

接續粗化步驟,如第17A圖之剖面圖所示,發光元件2的製造方法包含一打線墊36’形成步驟。首先,如同前述發光單元1製造方法,先形成非封閉式開口38,其形狀由上視觀之,大致上對應於電極墊30a’中電極墊突出部303以外的區域。在非封閉式開口38未形成之前,環繞暴露區15內第一表面S1具有一寛度W1。W1大於非封閉式開口38之一寛度W2,因此環繞暴露區15及非封閉式開口38先後形成後,電極墊30a’連接於第一表面S1,且形成於環繞暴露區15中而與非封閉式開口38對應,電極墊30a’在電極突出部303具有一寬度W3大於W2。電極墊突出部303直接接觸並連接第二導電區突出部603,與第二半導體層102電性連接;電極墊30a’之上表面301’具有一被非封閉式開口38所暴露之暴露區域301b’,與半導體疊層10不重疊。第一半導體層101之厚度可為3~4μm之間,可區分為第一部分101a與第二部分101b。第一部分101a之厚度與非封閉式開口38深度相當,約為1.5~3μm,第二部分101b之厚度對應環繞暴露區15,約為1~1.5μm。電極墊30a’可電性連接於第二半導體層102但並非形成於出光面上,因此不會對發光元件2的光線產生遮光效應。於本申請案一實施例中,電極層30’可包含一或多個電極墊30a’,一或多個電極墊30a’可設置於基板11之一或多個角落。Following the roughening step, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 17A, the manufacturing method of the light-emitting element 2 includes a step of forming a bonding pad 36'. Firstly, as in the method of manufacturing the aforementioned light-emitting unit 1, the non-closed opening 38 is first formed, and its shape, viewed from above, roughly corresponds to the area of the electrode pad 30a' other than the electrode pad protruding portion 303. Before the non-closed opening 38 is formed, the first surface S1 surrounding the exposed area 15 has a width W1. W1 is greater than the width W2 of the non-enclosed opening 38, so after the surrounding exposed area 15 and the non-enclosed opening 38 are successively formed, the electrode pad 30a' is connected to the first surface S1, and is formed in the surrounding exposed area 15 instead of the non-enclosed opening. Corresponding to the closed opening 38 , the electrode pad 30 a ′ has a width W3 greater than W2 at the electrode protrusion 303 . The electrode pad protrusion 303 directly contacts and connects the second conductive region protrusion 603, and is electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer 102; the upper surface 301' of the electrode pad 30a' has an exposed area 301b exposed by the non-closed opening 38 ', does not overlap with the semiconductor stack 10. The thickness of the first semiconductor layer 101 can be between 3-4 μm, and can be divided into a first part 101a and a second part 101b. The thickness of the first part 101a is equivalent to the depth of the non-closed opening 38, which is about 1.5-3 μm, and the thickness of the second part 101b corresponds to surrounding the exposed area 15, which is about 1-1.5 μm. The electrode pad 30a' can be electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer 102 but is not formed on the light-emitting surface, so it will not have a light-shielding effect on the light of the light-emitting element 2 . In an embodiment of the present application, the electrode layer 30' may include one or more electrode pads 30a', and the one or more electrode pads 30a' may be disposed on one or more corners of the substrate 11.

於本申請案一實施例中,在移除電極墊30a’上方局部的第一半導體層101以形成非封閉式開口38的同時,可進一步蝕刻移除其他部分的第一半導體層101,暴露出部分第三絕緣層70’,做為後續切割步驟之切割道。藉由複數個切割道定義出各發光元件2的位置及尺寸。In one embodiment of the present application, while removing part of the first semiconductor layer 101 above the electrode pad 30a' to form the non-closed opening 38, other parts of the first semiconductor layer 101 can be further etched away to expose Part of the third insulating layer 70' is used as a dicing line for the subsequent dicing step. The position and size of each light-emitting element 2 are defined by a plurality of cutting lines.

接著,如第17B圖所示,在暴露區域301b’上形成一打線墊36,打線墊36之結構、位置、功能與在發光元件1中所述相同,因此不再贅述。Next, as shown in FIG. 17B, a wire bonding pad 36 is formed on the exposed area 301b'. The structure, position, and function of the wire bonding pad 36 are the same as those described in the light-emitting element 1, so details will not be repeated.

接續打線墊36形成步驟,發光元件2製造方法同樣包含保護層80形成步驟,接續保護層80形成步驟,可對晶圓級的導電基板12進行切割,切割步驟包含經由切割道對保護層80、導電基板12與接合結構28’進行切割,以形成複數個發光元件2。切割道是在上述非封閉式開口38形成步驟中,藉由蝕刻移除第一半導體層101而形成。切割方式包含切割刀或雷射切割。此外,亦可在切割步驟之前,選擇性地形成波長轉換層42在保護層80上。Following the step of forming the bonding pad 36, the manufacturing method of the light-emitting element 2 also includes the step of forming the protective layer 80. Following the step of forming the protective layer 80, the conductive substrate 12 at the wafer level can be cut. The cutting step includes cutting the protective layer 80, The conductive substrate 12 and the bonding structure 28 ′ are cut to form a plurality of light emitting elements 2 . The dicing line is formed by removing the first semiconductor layer 101 by etching during the step of forming the non-closed opening 38 . Cutting methods include cutting knife or laser cutting. In addition, the wavelength conversion layer 42 can also be selectively formed on the protection layer 80 before the cutting step.

經本實施例製造方法所形成之發光元件2中,如第17B圖所示,當外部電流由打線墊36及導電基板12注入發光元件2時,電流首先傳遞至電極墊30a’,再經由電極墊突出部303與第二導電區突出部603的接觸,在第二導電區60b’擴散開來,傳導至第二半導體層102。此外,利用環型第一導電區60a’包圍配置在其中的第三導電區60d’,可使得電流同時傳導至環繞暴露區15內與孔部暴露區17內的第一半導體層101。如此一來,電流可在半導體疊層10內均勻散佈,進而使得發光元件2的光場分佈均勻化,並可降低發光元件2的正向電壓。第三絕緣層70’可將電極墊30a’與第二導電區60b’絕緣於第一半導體層102,且電極墊30a’及環型電極層30b’與活性層103位於發光元件2水平方向之不同區域,而由第17B圖觀之,半導體疊層10倒置於導電基板12上,因此活性層103整體位於反射結構16與第二導電區60b’之上方;打線墊36設置於非封閉式開口38中,對應於電極墊30a’的位置,在發光元件2對應活性層103的出光面無設置任何的電極結構;因此活性層103所發出的光線不會被發光元件2之電極結構所遮蔽,提升發光效率。In the light-emitting element 2 formed by the manufacturing method of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17B, when an external current is injected into the light-emitting element 2 from the bonding pad 36 and the conductive substrate 12, the current is first transmitted to the electrode pad 30a', and then passed through the electrode pad The contact between the protruding portion 303 and the protruding portion 603 in the second conductive region diffuses in the second conductive region 60 b ′ and conducts to the second semiconductor layer 102 . In addition, the ring-shaped first conductive region 60a' surrounds the third conductive region 60d' disposed therein, so that current can be conducted to the first semiconductor layer 101 in the surrounding exposed region 15 and in the hole exposed region 17 at the same time. In this way, the current can be evenly distributed in the semiconductor stack 10 , thereby making the light field distribution of the light emitting element 2 uniform, and reducing the forward voltage of the light emitting element 2 . The third insulating layer 70' can insulate the electrode pad 30a' and the second conductive region 60b' from the first semiconductor layer 102, and the electrode pad 30a', the ring electrode layer 30b' and the active layer 103 are located in the horizontal direction of the light emitting element 2. Different regions, and as viewed from FIG. 17B, the semiconductor stack 10 is placed upside down on the conductive substrate 12, so the active layer 103 is located above the reflective structure 16 and the second conductive region 60b' as a whole; the bonding pad 36 is arranged in the non-closed opening In 38, corresponding to the position of the electrode pad 30a', no electrode structure is provided on the light emitting surface of the light-emitting element 2 corresponding to the active layer 103; therefore, the light emitted by the active layer 103 will not be blocked by the electrode structure of the light-emitting element 2, Improve luminous efficiency.
