Abstract:
An array of light emitting devices formed on a highly resistive substrate, the array comprising:a first light emitting device, comprising: a first n-type layer overlying a first portion of the substrate; a first active region overlying the first n-type layer; a first p-type layer overlying the first active region; a first n-contact connected to the first n-type layer; a first p-contact connected to the first p-type layer, wherein the first n-contact and the first p-contact are formed on the same side of the device; a second light emitting device, comprising: a second n-type layer overlying a second portion of the substrate; a second active region overlying the second n-type layer; a second p-type layer overlying the second active region; a second n-contact connected to the second n-type layer; a second p-contact connected to the second p-type layer, wherein the second n-contact and the second p-contact are formed on the same side of the device; one of a trench and an ion implanted region separating the first light emitting device and the second light emitting device; and a first interconnect connecting one of the first n- and first p-contacts to one of the second n- and second p-contacts.
