Patent attributes
A method for manufacturing a light emitting device includes (a) preparing a semiconductor element formed with a crystalline substrate, and a temporary element, the temporary element including a laser-transmissive substrate and a laser-dissociable layer formed on the laser-transmissive substrate, (b) attaching the laser-dissociable layer of the temporary element to the epitaxial layer of the semiconductor element through a adhesive layer, (c) thinning the crystalline substrate, (d) applying a laser beam to the temporary element so as to dissociate the laser-dissociable layer of the temporary element, and removing the temporary element from the adhesive layer, and (e) removing the adhesive layer from the epitaxial layer of the semiconductor element.
