Abstract

This method for manufacturing a light-emitting element comprises: a preparation step; an insulating layer formation step; a metal layer formation step; and a singulation step. In the preparation step, a wafer, in which a conductive layer is disposed beneath a semiconductor layer, is prepared. In the insulating layer formation step, an insulating layer is formed beneath a part of the conductive layer. In the metal layer formation step, a metal layer is formed, which covers the lower surface of the conductive layer and the lower surface of the insulating layer, and which has a groove recessed upward at a position overlapping the insulating layer in plan view. In the singulation step, after the metal layer formation step, the wafer is singulated at the position overlapping the insulating layer in plan view. The present invention thereby provides a light-emitting element manufacturing method and a light-emitting element which are capable of improving heat dissipation.
