Claim:
1. A solid state transducer (SST) die, comprising: a support structure comprising a structural material that has a low transmissiveness to radiation in a selected spectrum and a growth surface suitable for growing epitaxial semiconductor materials, wherein the support structure has an opening; an SST structure configured to produce radiation in the selected spectrum, the SST structure having a first semiconductor material grown on the growth surface of the support structure, a second semiconductor material, and an active region between the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material; a first contact in contact with the first semiconductor material; a second contact in contact with the second semiconductor material, wherein both the first contact and the second contact are positioned to be connected to a power source from the same side of the SST die, and an insulating material on the second semiconductor material, and the second contact, wherein the insulating material includes a plurality of channels extending therethrough; wherein the SST structure is aligned with the opening in the support structure such that radiation in the selected spectrum passes through the opening.
