1. A method of making a light-emitting diode (LED), comprising:

  • providing a semiconductor layer of a first polarity;

    forming an active layer on the semiconductor layer of the first polarity; and

    forming a semiconductor layer of a second polarity on the active layer,wherein at least one side of a stacked structure at least composed of the active layer and the semiconductor layer of the second polarity comprises an irregular surface, and the irregular surface comprises a deformed dimension greater than an emitting wavelength of the LED for making light emitted from the active layer outside the LED, andwherein a plurality of independent valleys extend from an upper surface of the semiconductor layer of the second polarity to the active layer.
