A high efficiency lighting device comprising a light emitting diode structure, an eutectic layer and a distributed-Bragg reflecting layer (DBR) therebetween is disclosed. The distributed-Bragg reflecting layer is attached to said light emitting diode structure by vapor deposition and comprises a plurality of high refraction layers, a plurality of low refraction layers and a micro-contact layer array. The high refraction layers and said low refraction layers are arranged in an alternating manner, so as to form a stacked thin film having an alternate high/low refraction pattern. The micro-contact layers are in said stacked thin film and extend vertically through the stacked thin film, therefore connecting said light emitting diode structure and said eutectic layer.
