Abstract:
1. A method of flip chip bonding a light emitting diode to a support, the light emitting diode having front-side n-type and p-type electrodes defining a minimum electrodes separation therebetween, the method including: disposing a dielectric layer over at least the front-side of the light emitting diode, the dielectric layer sealing the n-type and p-type electrodes; disposing a first-type electrical contact over vias through the dielectric layer that access a first-type electrode selected from the group consisting of the p-type electrode and the n-type electrode, the first-type electrical contact extending over the dielectric layer between the vias that access the first-type electrode to define a first-type contact pad; disposing a second-type electrical contact over one or more vias through the dielectric layer that access a second-type electrode selected from the group consisting of the other of the p-type electrode and the n-type electrode, the second-type electrical contact extending over the dielectric layer to define a second-type contact pad, the first-type contact pad and the second-type contact pad defining a minimum contact pads separation therebetween that is larger than the minimum electrodes separation; and flip-chip bonding the first-type contact pad and the second-type contact pad to a substrate via bonding bumps disposed on at least one of the contact pads and the substrate.
