[0095] The following provides a detailed description of the present disclosure in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present disclosure. The scope of protection of the present disclosure covers changes made to structure, method or function based on these embodiments by those skilled in the art.

[0096] In order to facilitate the presentation of the drawings of the present disclosure, the dimensions of certain structures or parts may be exaggerated relative to other structures or parts. Therefore, the drawings of this application are only intended to illustrate the basic structure of the subject matter of this application. The same or similar components in different drawings are represented by the same component symbols unless otherwise specified.

[0097] In addition, terms indicating relative spatial positions, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "above," "below," etc., are used herein to explain the relationship between an element or feature depicted in a drawing and another element or feature therein. Terms indicating relative spatial positions may refer to positions when the device is in use or operation in addition to those shown in the drawings. For example, if the device shown in the drawings is turned over, an element described as being "below" or "beneath" another element or feature would be "above" the other element or feature. Thus, the illustrated term "below" can include both above and below positions. The device can be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or facing another direction), and spatially relative descriptive terms appearing herein should be interpreted accordingly. When a component or layer is referred to as being "above" or "connected to" another component or layer, it can be directly above or directly connected to the other component or layer, or there may be intervening components or layers.

[0250] Comparative Examples

[0251] Figure 18is a cross-sectional view of a micro-LED structure 1 according to a comparative embodiment. Figure 18 The micro-LED structure 1 of the comparative embodiment is shown. Figure 1A The micro-LED structure 1000 of the first embodiment differs in that the light-emitting layer 103 does not extend horizontally away from the top edge 101a of the first-type conductive layer 101 and the bottom edge 102a of the second-type conductive layer 102. Instead, in this comparative example, the edge 103a of the light-emitting layer 103 is aligned with both the top edge 101a of the first-type conductive layer 101 and the bottom edge 102a of the second-type conductive layer 102.

[0252] As previously explained, the light-emitting layer 103 may include multiple pairs of quantum well layers. The number of multiple quantum well (MQW) pairs in the light-emitting layer 103 is related to the exposed sidewall area of the light-emitting layer 103, such as that produced by inductively coupled plasma etching. A larger exposed sidewall area results in more MQW pairs, leading to greater surface recombination carrier loss.

[0253] In this comparative embodiment, the sidewalls of light-emitting layer 103 are aligned with edges 101a and 102a of first-type conduction layer 101 and second-type conduction layer 102. As a result, large surface recombination carrier losses may occur in the micro-LED between first-type conduction layer 101 and second-type conduction layer 102, negatively impacting the micro-LED's luminous efficiency.

[0254] In contrast, in the first embodiment and other embodiments of the present disclosure, the light-emitting layer 103 extends away from the top edge 101a of the first-type conduction layer 101 and the bottom edge 102a of the second-type conduction layer 102, so that the edge 103a of the light-emitting layer 103 does not contact the top edge 101a of the first-type conduction layer 101 and the bottom edge 102a of the second-type conduction layer 102. As a result, surface recombination carrier loss may not occur in the micro-LED between the first-type conduction layer 101 and the second-type conduction layer 102. As a result, the luminous efficiency of the micro-LED is improved.
