Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of light-emitting semiconductors, and particularly relates to the field of light-emitting diode chips. The structure of a composite electrode of the light-emitting diode chip comprises an ohmic contact metal layer, a first isolated metal layer, a filled metal layer, a second isolated metal layer and a surface metal layer from bottom to top respectively, wherein the second isolated metal layer and the surface metal layer are covered on the upper surfaces and the side surfaces of the ohmic contact metal layer, the first isolated metal layer and the filled metal layer so as to completely wrap the three electrode layers in the electrode. The invention further comprises two manufacturing methods of the composite electrode, which are the method I and the method II respectively. The composite electrode uses Al, Ag and other active metals with low using cost to replace part of Au in the electrode, thereby reducing the cost of the electrode and having stronger ability to adapt to the environment; through multiple tests by an author, the composite electrode can be quickly effectively manufactured by the two methods, the manufacturing process is simple and feasible, the operability is high, and the large-scale production is convenient.
