Claim:
1. An optoelectronic device, comprising: a semiconductor unit; a plurality of metal fingers disposed on a surface of said semiconductor unit for electrical conduction; a plurality of pad areas disposed on said surface of said semiconductor unit and available for connection to a bus bar, wherein each of said plurality of metal fingers is connected and adjacently disposed to a corresponding pad area of said plurality of pad areas for forming an electrical contact between respective metal fingers and corresponding pad areas, wherein said semiconductor unit includes a manufacturing defect in proximity to a first metal finger of said plurality of metal fingers compromising said first metal finger and a corresponding first pad area of said plurality of pad areas; and a dielectric layer disposed over at least said plurality of pad areas that is selectively configured to electrically isolate said manufacturing defect from the bus bar through isolation of said compromised first metal finger and said compromised first pad area, said dielectric layer being further configured to have at least one blind via through said dielectric layer, and said at least one blind via being filled with electrically conductive material to provide electrical access to said bus bar to remaining pad areas of the plurality of pad areas that are not compromised by said manufacturing defect.
