A high power flip chip LED has an n-doped semiconductor layer formed on the sapphire substrate, with a plurality of first regions and a second region of intersecting lines for separating the first regions from each other. P-doped semiconductor layers are on the first regions of the n-doped semiconductor layer to form mesa structures. At least one pair of diagonal corners of the respective mesa structures are rounded inward to form first basins between adjacent inward-rounded corners. First metal layers are on the mesa structures in a same configuration. A second metal layer is on the second region of the n-doped semiconductor layer. First ohmic contacts are on the first metal layers. Second ohmic contacts are on the second metal layer in the first basins. The LED can prevent the current channeling to increase the luminous area while equalizing the current density area thereby generating high brightness light.

A method for manufacturing a gallium nitride (GaN)-based single crystalline substrate includes the steps of (a) forming a GaN-based single crystalline bulk on an upper surface of a growth substrate; (b) forming grooves through the growth substrate so that the growth substrate is patterned and divided into several units by the grooves, each of the grooves having a designated width; and (c) separating the GaN-based single crystalline bulk from the growth substrate by irradiating a laser beam on a lower surface of the growth substrate.

A method for manufacturing vertical GaN light emitting diodes starts by forming a light emitting structure on a sapphire substrate, said light emitting structure including a first conductive GaN clad layer, an active layer and a second conductive GaN clad layer. The light emitting structure is divided into plural units so that the first conductive GaN clad layer of a thickness of at least approximately 100 &angst; remains. A conductive substrate is attached to the divided upper surface of the light emitting structures using a conductive adhesive layer. A lower surface of the sapphire substrate is irradiated by laser beam so that the sapphire substrate is removed from the unit light emitting structures. First and second contacts are formed respectively on the surfaces of the first conductive clad layer and the conductive substrate. Finally, the resulting structure is cut into plural unit light emitting diodes.
