摘要:
A light emitting diode structure is disclosed that includes a light emitting active portion formed of epitaxial layers and carrier substrate supporting the active portion. A bonding metal system that predominates in nickel and tin joins the active portion to the carrier substrate. At least one titanium adhesion layer is between the active portion and the carrier substrate and a platinum barrier layer is between the nickel-tin bonding system and the titanium adhesion layer. The platinum layer has a thickness sufficient to substantially prevent tin in the nickel tin bonding system from migrating into or through the titanium adhesion layer.

A light emitting diode (20) is disclosed that includes a support structure (21) and a Group III nitride light emitting active structure (22) mesa (23) on the support structure (21) . The mesa (23) has its sidewalls (24) along an indexed crystal plane of the Group III nitride . A method of forming the diode (20) is also disclosed that includes the steps of removing a substrate (43) from a Group III nitride light emitting structure that includes a sub-mount structure (45) on the Group III nitride light emitting active structure (44) opposite the substrate (43) , and thereafter etching the surface (53) of the Group III nitride from which the substrate (43) has been removed with an anisotropic etch to develop crystal facets on the surface (53) in which the facets are along an index plane of the Group III nitride. The method can also include etching the light emitting active structure (44) with an anisotropic etch to form a mesa (23, 51) with edges along an index plane of the Group III nitride.

Embodiments of the present invention are generally related to LED chips having improved overall emission by reducing the light - absorbing effects of barrier layers adjacent mirror contacts. In one embodiment, a LED chip (200) comprises one or more LEDs, with each LED having an active region, a first contact under the active region having a highly reflective mirror (206), and a barrier layer (208) adjacent the mirror. The barrier layer is smaller than the mirror such that it does not extend beyond the periphery of the mirror. In another possible embodiment, an insulator (210) is further provided, with the insulator adjacent the barrier layer and adjacent portions of the mirror not contacted by the active region or by the barrier layer. In yet another embodiment, a second contact (222,224) is provided on the active region. In a further embodiment, the barrier layer is smaller than the mirror such that the periphery of the mirror is at least 40% free of the barrier layer, and the second contact is below the first contact and accessible from the bottom of the chip.

Semiconductor light emitting devices, such as light emitting diodes, include a substrate, an epitaxial region on the substrate that includes a light emitting region such as a light emitting diode region, and a multilayer conductive Stack including a reflector layer, on the epitaxial region. A barrier layer is provided on the reflector layer and extending on a sidewall of the reflector layer. The multilayer conductive Stack can also include an ohmic layer between the reflector and the epitaxial region. The barrier layer further extends on a sidewall of the ohmic layer. The barrier layer can also extend onto the epitaxial region outside the multilayer conductive Stack. The barrier layer can be fabricated as a series of alternating first and second sublayers.
