(1) deep etching of the GaN layer is cancelled, non-radiative recombination centers on the etched surface are reduced, and luminous efficiency is improved;
(2) the light-emitting epitaxial layers 300 are isolated by the linear isolation walls 101 on the substrate 100, so that the area loss of the active layer 302 caused by etching the active layer 302 is avoided, and the utilization rate of the active layer 302 is improved;
(3) the depth of the groove 102 of the isolation structure 11 is equal to the thickness of the light-emitting epitaxial layers 300, so that the metal connecting line for connecting the light-emitting epitaxial layers 300 in series is prevented from breaking due to the fact that the metal connecting line needs to penetrate through the groove 102, and meanwhile, the length of the interconnection metal layer 600 can be reduced;
(4) the width of the linear isolation wall 101 is 3-8 mu m, the distance between two adjacent light-emitting epitaxial layers 300 is greatly reduced, and the area of the active layer 302 can be increased by 5-10%;
(5) the size of the trench 102 is adjustable, so that the width of the light-emitting epitaxial layer 300 can be adjusted in a direction parallel to the line-shaped isolation wall 101 to meet the requirements of different brightness under a specified voltage, and meanwhile, different numbers of light-emitting epitaxial layers 300 can be connected in series in a direction perpendicular to the line-shaped isolation wall 101 to meet different voltage requirements.
