Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an optoelectronic device, comprising:(a) providing a substrate having first and second major surfaces; (b) growing epitaxial layers on the first major surface of the substrate, the epitaxial layers including a first region of a first conductivity type and a second region of a second conductivity type and a light-emitting p-n junction between the first region and the second region; (c) forming separations of substantially equal depth through the epitaxial layers to about the first major surface of the substrate to provide a structure including a plurality of individual dies on the first major surface of the substrate; (d) mounting the structure to a submount at the first region of the individual dies to expose the second major surface of the substrate; and (e) removing the substrate from the structure.
