An LED structure is disclosed herein, which comprises, sequentially
arranged in the following order, a light generating structure, a
non-alloy ohmic contact layer, a metallic layer, and a substrate. As a
reflecting mirror, the metallic layer is made of a pure metal or a metal
nitride for achieving superior reflectivity. The non-alloy ohmic contact
layer is interposed between the metallic layer and the light generating
structure so as to achieve the required ohmic contact. To prevent the
metallic layer from intermixing with the non-alloy ohmic contact layer
and to maintain the flatness of the reflective surface of the first
metallic layer, an optional dielectric layer is interposed between the
metallic layer and the non-alloy ohmic contact layer.
