Abstract
An LED array includes a substrate and a plurality of LEDs formed on the substrate. The LEDs are electrically connected with each other. Each of the LEDs includes a connecting layer, an n-type GaN layer, an active layer, and a p-type GaN layer formed on the substrate in sequence. The connecting layer is etchable by alkaline solution. A bottom surface of the n-type GaN layer which connects the connecting layer has a roughened exposed portion. The bottom surface of the n-type GaN layer has an N-face polarity. A method for manufacturing the LED array is also provided.

8. A method for manufacturing an LED array comprising:
-
providing a substrate; forming a connecting layer, an n-type GaN layer, an active layer and a p-type GaN layer on the substrate in sequence, the connecting layer, the n-type GaN layer, the active layer and the p-type GaN layer cooperatively forming a semiconductor structure, a bottom surface of the second n-type GaN layer facing towards and in connection with the connecting layer having an N-face polarity; forming grooves in the semiconductor structure and dividing the semiconductor structure into a plurality of LEDs, the grooves at least passing through the p-type GaN layer, the active layer and the n-type GaN layer to expose the connecting layer; etching the connecting layer by alkaline solution to expose a portion of the bottom surface of the n-type GaN layer, and correspondingly roughening the exposed portion of the bottom surface of the n-type GaN layer during the etching; and forming electrical connections between the LEDs. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
