A carrier leadframe, including a frame body and a carrier, is provided. The frame body includes at least one supporting portion, and the carrier includes a shell and at least one electrode portion and is mechanically engaged with the frame body via the supporting portion. A method for manufacturing the carrier leadframe as described above, as well as a light emitting device made from the carrier leadframe and a method for manufacturing the device, are also provided. The carrier leadframe has carriers that are separate in advance and mechanically engaged with the frame body, thereby facilitating the quick release of material after encapsulation. Besides, in the carrier leadframe as provided, each carrier is electrically isolated from another carrier, so the electric measurement can be performed before the release of material. Therefore, the speed and yield of production of the light emitting device made from the carrier leadframe is improved.
