Provided is a method of fabricating a light-emitting diode (LED) device. The method includes providing a wafer. The wafer has light-emitting diode (LED) devices formed thereon. The method includes immersing the wafer into a polymer solution that has a surface tension lower than that of acetic acid. The polymer solution contains a liquid polymer and phosphor particles. The method includes lifting the wafer out of the polymer solution at a substantially constant speed. The method includes drying the wafer. The above processes form a conformal coating layer at least partially around the LED devices. The coating layer includes the phosphor particles. The coating layer also has a substantially uniform thickness.
