Abstract
A light-emitting diode (LED) chip with reflective layers having high reflectivity is disclosed. The LED chip may include an active LED structure including an active layer between an n-type layer and a p-type layer. A first reflective layer is adjacent the active LED structure and comprises a plurality of dielectric layers with varying optical thicknesses. The plurality of dielectric layers may include a plurality of first dielectric layers and a plurality of second dielectric layers of varying thicknesses and compositions. The LED chip may further include a second reflective layer that includes an electrically conductive path through the first reflective layer. An adhesion layer may be provided between the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer. The adhesion layer may comprise a metal oxide that promotes improved adhesion with reduced optical losses.
