1. A method of manufacturing high efficiency light emitting diodes, comprising the steps of:
- preparing a light emitting double hetero structure formed on a device substrate, said double hetero structure having an upper cladding layer, an active layer and a lower cladding layer stacked on said device substrate;
coating a plurality of ohmic metal contacts on said upper cladding layer;
covering said plurality of ohmic metal contacts and said upper cladding layer with a diffusion barrier layer;
forming a metal reflection layer on said diffusion barrier layer. electroplating a metal substrate layer on said metal reflection layer;
removing said device substrate to expose said lower cladding layer; and
forming at least one ohmic contact electrode on said lower cladding layer.

Abstract
The present invention is related to a method of manufacturing high efficiency LEDs. The LEDs uses a metal reflection layer to solve the problem of light absorption by the substrate, and improves the illumination. It also forms a vertical structure where the P and N ends are on the top and bottom sides of the LEDs, respectively. A vertical structure is easier for final packaging. In addition, the present invention uses a metal substrate to replace the semiconductor substrate in order to improve the heat dissipation, and enable the LEDs to operate at a higher current.
