Claim Text:
1. A light emitting diode (LED) die comprising: an epitaxial stack comprising a p-type semiconductor layer, a multiple quantum well (MQW) layer in electrical contact with the p-type semiconductor layer configured to emit electromagnetic radiation, and an n-type semiconductor layer in electrical contact with the multiple quantum well (MQW) layer having a trench; a p-pad in electrical communication with the p-type semiconductor layer; an n-pad in electrical contact with the n-type semiconductor layer; a strap layer comprising a conductive material in the trench in electrical contact with the n-pad and with the n-type semiconductor layer, the strap layer configured to conduct current from the n-pad through the trench and across the n-type semiconductor layer in an area under the p-pad; and an electrical insulator layer on the strap layer configured to electrically insulate the conductive material from the p-pad.
