    摘要: A method of forming a light emitting diode (LED) includes providing a temporary growth substrate that is selected for compatibility with fabricating LED layers having desired mechanical characteristics. For example, lattice matching is an important consideration. LED layers are then grown on the temporary growth substrate. High crystal quality is thereby achieved, whereafter the temporary growth substrate can be removed. A second substrate is bonded to the LED layers utilizing a wafer bonding technique. The second substrate is selected for optical properties, rather than mechanical properties. Preferably, the second substrate is optically transparent and electrically conductive and the wafer bonding technique is carried out to achieve a low resistance interface between the second substrate and the LED layers. Wafer bonding can also be carried out to provide passivation or light-reflection or to define current flow.

    摘要: A light-emitting diode (LED) in accordance with the invention includes an edge-emitting LED stack having an external emitting surface from which light is emitted, and a reflective element that is located adjacent to at least one external surface of the LED stack other than the external emitting surface. The reflective element receives light that is generated inside the LED stack and reflects the received light back into the LED stack. At least a portion of the reflected light is then emitted from the external emitting surface.

    摘要: Systems and methods of manufacturing etchable heterojunction interfaces and etched heterojunction structures are described. A bottom layer is deposited on a substrate, a transition etch layer is deposited over the bottom layer, and a top layer is deposited over the transition etch layer. The transition etch layer substantially prevents the bottom layer and the top layer from forming a material characterized by a composition substantially different than the bottom layer and a substantially non-selective etchability with respect to the bottom layer. By tailoring the structure of the heterojunction interface to respond to heterojunction etching processes with greater predictability and control, the transition etch layer enhances the robustness of previously unreliable heterojunction device manufacturing processes. The transition etch layer enables one or more vias to be etched down to the top surface of the bottom layer in a reliable and repeatable manner. In particular, because the transition etch layer enables use of an etchant that is substantially selective with respect to the bottom layer, the thickness of critical device layers may be determined by the precise epitaxial growth processes used to form the bottom layer rather than relatively imprecise non-selective etch processes.

    摘要: An electro-optical device with a transparent substrate is produced by epitaxially first growing the active device layers, followed by growth of the transparent substrate layer on an opaque wafer. The opaque wafer is subsequently removed. The active device layers have dopants with sufficiently low diffusivities that their electronic characteristics are not adversely affected by long exposure to elevated temperature during the growth of the transparent substrate layer. In a liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) method, a repeated temperature cycle technique is used where the temperature is repeatedly raised each time after cooling to provide a large cooling range for growing a sufficiently thick substrate layer or a series of device layers. In between growths and during the temperature heat-up periods, the device is stored within the LPE reactor. When a epitaxial layer is oxidizable, a non-oxidizable cap is temporarily grown on it in between growths and during the temperature heat up periods. The cap is subsequently removed by melting back at an elevated temperature just prior to the growth of a next layer. The technique may also be used for growing a transparent substrate which is lattice mismatched with the active deivce layers.
