Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a semiconductor structure comprising a light emitting region disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region; a first metal contact in direct contact with the n-type region and a second metal contact in direct contact with the p-type region; a first connection layer electrically connected to the n-type region and a second connection layer electrically connected to the p-type region, wherein the first and second connections layers are formed on the same side of the semiconductor structure; and a circuit element disposed between one of the first and second contacts on the one hand and the second connection layer on the other hand, wherein the circuit element comprises at least one metal layer and a dielectric layer, the dielectric layer isolating the metal layer from one of the first and second contacts or one of the first and second connection layers, wherein the first and second contacts are formed between the semiconductor structure on the one hand and the first and the second connection layers on the other hand.
