Abstract
In a method for fabricating a vertical light emitting device, the separation or lift-off of the substrate from the light emitting diode structure formed thereon is facilitated by forming voids at the interface between the substrate and the light emitting diode structure where the separation or lift-off occurs. A substrate assembly contains a substrate and an epitaxial layer, and voids are formed at the interface between the substrate and the epitaxial layer in a controlled manner. A light emitting diode structure is then formed on the epitaxial layer, followed by attaching the light emitting diode structure to a superstrate, separating the substrate from the epitaxial layer, and forming a conductive layer and a contact pad in place of the substrate, so as to form a vertical light emitting device.
